A/N: Hey guys! I'm sorry that it's about 10:00 at night when I'm posting this, but I promised at least 1 chapter every Sunday, and I plan to deliver! Make sure to read the author's note at the end of the story as it talks about some upcoming chapters. I promise I haven't forgotten about the requests in the reviews! I'll get on those asap! Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
It was already October, and Halloween was approaching quickly. The air was filled with the strong smell of pumpkins, and the houses lining the street brandished jack o' lanterns to light the way at night on every doorstep. Jock and Trusty came by earlier to give Lady and Tramp a few scares, saying it was they gave them a "trick instead of a treat". It didn't scare them at all, but to make Jock happy, they pretended to be scared. Tramp had gone around the neighborhood and asked dogs what this whole "trick or treat" thing meant. The dogs were rather friendly, and politely informed Tramp about it, and how it was connected to Halloween. They described the spooks, tricks and treats and costumes. Tramp had quite a few ideas on how to treat Lady, with no tricks involved whatsoever. It was nearing 5 in the evening when Tramp had returned home, happily trotting along to all the ideas in his head on what "treats" to give to Lady. He walked through the fence around the house and approached the back door when he ducked his head and leisure lessly walked across the kitchen floor and made his way into the living room.
It was there that Jim Dear had smiled and said "Ah! There he is! Come on Tramp, Lady's tried on her costume and we need to make sure your costume fits for when it's Halloween!". At first Tramp responded with confusion. A costume? he thought to himself when he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with the neighborhood dogs. He smiled to himself as he thought I wonder what Pidge's costume is?. "This way Tramp!" Jim Darling called and Tramp followed him upstairs into Jim Dear and Darling's bedroom. When Tramp entered into the room, he was greeted to the sight of Darling straightening Lady in a pumpkin costume. Her paws stuck out in four corners of the pumpkin, and the green stem at the top were green straps to hold the costume in place. Tramp smiled at Lady and said "Pidge, I always knew you were sweet, but this takes it to a whole new level". Lady smiled back and laughed saying "Wait until you see your costume Tramp".
Tramp turned back to look at Jim Dear as he called his name to see his costume. It was meant to be a bear, with the cloth colored brown, and small circular ears located towards the top of it. The underside of it had a light brown oval painted over the usual brown of the cloth. Jim Dear said "Alright come here Tramp, let's make sure it fits!" After some fidgeting about and a bit of trouble in finding the hole in the back of the costume to fit Tramp's tail through, his head poked out of the brown bear costume, and he was not so cleverly, but still cutely disguised as a bear. Both Jim Dear and Darling had finished fine tuning and fixing up the costumes and admired the both of them "Let's go get the camera and take a picture of them" Darling had said, and the both of them left the bedroom to go venture downstairs to find the camera.
With some time alone on their hands, Tramp and Lady closed the gap between them and met up together in the middle of the floor. Lady smiled and said "Well Tramp, I have to admit you're quite the handsome bear". Tramp nuzzled his nose against Lady's saying "What can I say? I'm fluffy, cute, cuddly, and have someone that loves to cuddle with me". Lady nuzzled him back "You know the only reason they got me this pumpkin costume was because they wanted me to have room for my belly right? she said smiling, as she gestured down to her stomach, at it's largest yet, meaning she would most likely be giving birth in a month or so. Tramp looked back up at her and smiled saying "Really? I thought it was because you were so sweet and I love you?". Lady blushed through her costume and said while laughing "Maybe it's a bit of both". The both of them heard 2 pairs of footsteps getting louder on the stairs, signaling that Jim Dear and Darling had found the camera. Lady quickly licked Tramp's muzzle and said "I love you Tramp". Tramp hastily licked her muzzle as well, and began "I love you too Pi-" when he was abruptly cut off by the entrance of Jim Dear and Darling. "Alright you two lovedogs, let's get you together on the bed for the photo!". The two of them jumped up on the bed and leaned against each other, with Tramp winking at Lady as Jim took the picture of them.
A/N: Hey guys! Thanks a bunch for reading that chapter. I'm really sorry if there wasn't too much fluff in that one, or if it seemed like a filler chapter. I've been a bit bogged down with some work, but I promised I would post at least one chapter every Sunday, and I'm a man of my word! I'm gonna hope to post the next chapter Wednesday provided I don't get bogged down with too much work. However, to make it up to you guys, I plan on writing and posting 3 more chapters spanning this week (hoping 1 chapter Wednesday, 1 Thursday and 1 Friday) to create a mini chapter arc in this story (some of my friends will already know what the chapters are already on). Again, I hope you guys will forgive me if this seemed like a filler/didn't have too much fluff/story in it, I promise to make it up. So review if you can, if not you're still awesome! Have a great day/night!
