Week One Winner - [MENTION=11012]LoveLoveLovix[/MENTION] - 50 points for VH
"Gotta go get the vampires!" Buffybot bounced as she walked down the street, Anya and Willow running after her. She could hear them yelling for her to stop.
Couldn't they see that this was the middle of the apocalypse? The sun wasn't even down, but vampires were all over the place! This was an emergency situation, and she had to stop it. It was what she was built to do!
Willow caught up to her, dragging a strangely young-looking vampire. She held up a mirror. The vampire was there.
"It's just fun... Halloween!" she explained. "Come on, let's go home."
Week Two Winner - [MENTION=11012]LoveLoveLovix[/MENTION] - 50 points for VH
"Goin' to stay inside tonight, not to play with the humans tonight," Drusilla sang, swaying a little. She didn't want to, but she was doing what she was told. Spike told her it would be ridiculous to leave the small hideaway on Halloween. She wasn't sure she understood, but no matter.
She grabbed a rat scurrying across the floor, looking at it as a potential playmate. But her sharp nails dug into it, piercing a lung, and a disgusted Dru threw it down. The force of the blow finished the creature off.
"This is no fun," she sighed. "No fun for Dru."
Week Three Winner - [MENTION=10352]Chosen Enemy[/MENTION] - 50 points for Merrick
Boring, boring, boring. Spike was pissed at Buffy tonight. She "volunteered" him and Clem to watch over the house and treat the kids in customs who show up at the door.
"I'll give them treats, alright", Spike mumbled with an evil smirk.
But Clem had fun. As the bell rang, he opened the door, holding a bowl of chocolates with a big smile. "Trick or treat!" he called at the kids.
The kids yelled, all frightened by the demon that was standing in front of them, and ran away.
"Wait!" Clem called after them. "If you don't like chocolate, I have kittens too"!
Week Four Winner - [MENTION=11543]Valjavertjinn[/MENTION] - 50 points for Merrick
Buffy peered down the hallway, searching for her friends. She spotted Willow over by the water fountain and waved. Ducking under a poster advertising the school's Halloween dance, she came over and cheerfully greeted her.
"Hi, Willow! What's up?"
Willow smiled. "Nothing much. Xander and I were planning our costumes last night."
Buffy gave her friend a disbelieving look. "You're dressing up?"
Willow didn't catch Buffy's sarcastic tone. "Yeah! He's being Dracula, and I'm being an ophthalmologist!"
Buffy stared at her. "What exactly is a"¦ Never mind. I'm not even going to ask."
Willow looked a bit put out as she followed Buffy to class.
Well done to all.

The rest of the drabbles for your enjoyment...

"What is that supposed to be?" Gunn asked.
"Well, it's a jack-o-lantern," Wesley explained. "Isn't it marvelous?"
"No, I mean what's the carving supposed to look like? A rabid camel?"
"It's a vampire! Don't you think that it resembles one, Fred?"
Fred glanced up from the physics book she had picked out at the library that morning.
She considered the pumpkin for a moment. "It sort of looks like Angel, if you squint real hard."
"What looks like me?" The vampire entered, frowning curiously at the girl.
"Oh, um"¦ " she stammered.
"And Wes, what's that thing on your pumpkin?"
ii.
Jenny carefully taped the small paper cat to the window on the library door and smiled at her handiwork. Rupert was in Snyder's office, trying to weasel his way out of being a chaperone for the Halloween dance next week.
Halloween was a surprisingly peaceful time on the Hellmouth, Jenny reflected. The kids were relaxed enough about everything that they were getting costumes. She entertained herself with the mental image of Angel dressed as a clown or a cowboy for a moment, and then went on to think about more important things. Like whether or not she and Rupert should make some special plans for Halloween evening"¦
iii.
"Hey, Xander," Buffy greeted him casually, throwing her coat onto the coat rack. She peered into the kitchen and saw Xander hard at work near the oven. "What'cha doing?"
"Hey, Buffs." Xander waved a flour-coated hand at her. "I'm making cookies."
"What for?" She asked curiously, coming over to look.
"Well, in case you forgot with all of the Anya-is-a-psycho -killer-craziness, it's Halloween. I was gonna buy some candy, but I was too lazy to go out. I thought that we could have a little party. Invite Clem over, bake him some kitten soufflé, whatever."
Buffy stared at him skeptically.
"What?"

"Dancing has changed," stated Drusilla.
"I do like nightclubs, these Halloween clothes, they must have been designed by a vampire, all those lovely blood veins on show," said Darla.
A girl walked by, going to the exit. "So that is Cordelia?"
They follow her to a library, watching her talk to the slayer and Giles. Noting the swing doors, growling, they go in.
"Quick!" exclaimed Giles. The Buffybot ran at them. Holding the doors, stepping back as she got near Drusilla slammed the door in the Buffybots face, it fell to the floor.
"We'll get Giles next time," said Drusilla.
ii.
Darla dropped Cordelia's body on the floor.
"That went well, and we got rid of that slayer, I did not expect that to happen," she said to herself, "Oh yes, I know, we could get rid of that Witchy Willow next."
Darla looked to her friend. "I wonder if she's from New Orleans?" Singing it aloud. "She's a witch queen, ah, of New Orleans," suddenly stopping, "I hope she hasn't got a familiar. Not that it matters."
"I know," replied Darla's friend, "Let's turn Cordelia, get her to drink only rat. That will really upset my daddy, I'd like that."
iii.
"I love Halloween parties, will my William be there?"
"I promise he will," replied Darla grinning evilly.
"I sent a message telling him that Clem would be there, tied up."
"Goody," said Drusilla.
"I caught that Witchy Willow bobbing for apples, so I crept behind her, pushed her in, then fixed a top on the barrel."
"I'll get Anya, I know how to scare the bejeezus out of her," said Drusilla.
Anya nervously faced Darla and Drusilla, suddenly she burst into hysterics. Darla looked at herself, then incredulously at Drusilla. "Playboy Bunnies? Is this the best you could think of?"
iv.
"Dru, I look a right pratt dressed like this," said Darla.
"Oh I don't know," replied Drusilla, "At least we'll get into that Halloween night school prom."
Darla looked down at her breasts. "Even that Buffy never showed this much of hers, just. And who"˜s gonna take me?"
"Draccy?" suggested Drusilla.
"Sure, I can guess where he's gonna be looking all night, and I'm not going to take captain blockhead."
"Poor daddy," stated Drusilla.
"And Spikey is off the invite list, that leaves Frankenstein's Monster."
"What about Dr. Frankenstein?" asked Drusilla.
"Hmm, dating a surgeon, I'll look good forever," said Darla.

"No vampires in the world?" Buffybot cocked her head at Dawn, who was dressed up as a princess for their Trick or Treating trip, which Buffybot insisted to have, although obviously too old for this.
"Not in the world, just on the streets", Dawn tried to explain to the robot.
"The streets are gone?" Buffybot kept asking with a strong starvation for knowledge.
"No", Dawn was getting annoyed. But she knew who she was dealing with. "Vampires on Halloween take the night off. Understand?"
"I do! I'm the Slayer, I should understand things", Buffybot said, smiling.
"You're Buffybot".
"No, look at me in the mirror, I'm Buffy!"
"Okay"¦" Dawn grunted.
iv.
"You what?! You"¦" Xander 's jaw dropped.
"Invited my ex-boyfriend to the Halloween school dance", Anya replied. "How many times should I say that?"
"Well, what's his name?"
"I call him 'Dracs'".
"So what is he? The syphilis demon?" Xander mocked.
"No!" Anya squeaked "He's the number one vampire. We used to have lots of lots of sex".
"Wait", Xander's eyes went wider. "You're talking about Dracula? And you call him 'Dracs?!"
"Well, you didn't wanna go with me to the Halloween dance. And I HAVE to go!"
"You know, he doesn't use bleach", Xander grunted as the bell rang, and he hurried up to class, leaving Anya behind.

The sun hadn't long set when Spike, Dawn and to their horror the Buffybot, went to the carnival that had arrived in town. Willow had thought it a good idea for them to go and had even programmed the Buffybot with some phrases about the carnival. The three of them walked around a bit before the Buffybot thought it would be good for them to go into the Hall of Mirrors. Spike and Dawn looked at each other and Spike told the Buffybot that he wouldn't be able to go in.
"Why not? It'll be fun, Willow said we should have fun"
" Vampire here, no reflection in mirrors"
ii.
Drusilla was stood outside looking up at the starts, when Spike came across her. Now this wasn't an unusual position to find Drusilla in, but what was unusual was that she was stood in the middle of a pond juggling toads. Why she was doing this Spike had no idea, but as it seemed to make her happy, he went back inside and left her and her toads to it. Soon Drusilla came in from the pond, and Spike suspected that this was because she had killed the toads that she had been playing with.
iii.
Clem headed to the poker game with his basket of kittens. He was feeling lucky tonight, he knew Spike wasn't going to be there so that was one less demon he had to play against. When he arrived, he sat in his usual place at the table. Not all of the other players were there yet so Clem started chatting to the other players. The last demon arrived at the table with not one but two baskets. One Clem could see had the normal array of kittens in, but the other Clem saw held toffee apples. The demon explained that he had got them in a post Halloween sale.
iv.
Buffy and Willow were sat outside on the benches when Xander came over to them.
"Did you notice the sign about the school dance" he asked as he sat down next to them
"Of course" Willow replied
"So, you're fine with having to wear a costume then?"
"What I didn't see that part" Buffy replied alarmed
"I'm guessing Snyder added it on" he grumbled
"Great, now I have to find a Halloween costume as well"
"Any ideas of what you could go as" Willow asked them both
"Well I was thinking about going as Dracula, nice and easy costume"

ii.
Drusilla's body sways to a music that is unheard by anyone but herself.
"Oh god, shes dancing again." Darla huffs.
Darla walks away, trying to distance herself from the mad-woman. She kicks a rat out of her way and silently wishes for the day to end and night to return. "Who made the stupid rule about vampires staying in on Halloween? I'd like to strangle that idiot." She yells.
Drusilla moves over to Darla with a smile on her face, "Something is coming, OoOoO he's a king of evil, and then we'll all have fuuuuun" She sings.
A grin spreads over Angelus' face. "Good."
