Urchin slept a little later than he anticipated to, so Triton sent Sebastian to wake the boy up. And where he did just that. "Urchin, wake up..."

"Five more minutes, Dad..." Urchin muttered.

Sebastian put his claws on the boy.

"YOW!" Urchin sat up sharply then.

"About time." Sebastian said.

Urchin rubbed his eyes, then realized what today was. "Whoa, I gotta go!" he then swam right out of his bed and combed his hair.

"Since when do you care about your hair, boy?" Sebastian asked.

"Uh, I wanna look good for the land people today." Urchin replied.

"Dis wouldn't also happen to also be for looking your best for Darla, would it?" Sebastian smirked.

"What about that Golidilocks?" Urchin blushed. "She's just some girl."

"Sure." Sebastian smirked.

"Aw, what do ya know?" Urchin rolled his copper eyes at the crab.

"I know dat you should hurry." Sebastian said.

Urchin then had his hair all neat and swam back up to the surface. He then pulled upward with his arms and his body glowed to give him legs and his human boy outfit which was a dark green T-Shirt, white shorts, and green sandals. He then stood up with a jacket he had found as it was cold this time of year and ran off to Darla's school.


"I wonder where Urchin is?" Kate said.

"Yeah, wasn't he on the bus?" Nick asked.

"Uh, he walks to school." Darla said, that wasn't necessarily a lie.

"Oh, okay." Nick and Kate shrugged.

Darla smiled nervously to them before looking out for Urchin. Nick and Kate then went to get the haunted house set up since today was Halloween. Soon enough, Urchin came.

"There you are, we were getting so worried!" Darla replied.

"Who's we?" Urchin smirked.

Darla rolled her eyes while blushing. "Just get in here."

"Alright, alright." Urchin smirked.


Darla then walked with him into the school gym where there was a party.

"Wow." Urchin smiled.

"Isn't it fantastic?" Darla smiled with Urchin as they came into the gym.

"It sure is." Urchin smiled.

Darla then decided to show him bobbing for apples. "Okay, you dip your head in, bite an apple, and put it out."

"Then what?" Urchin asked.

"That's it." Darla replied.

"Sounds kinda boring..." Urchin shrugged about the actiivty.

"Just try it." Darla said.

Urchin shrugged, then knelt in front of the bucket and put his head into the water to grab an apple with his teeth, then put his head up as Patch was then on the other side with the apple also in his teeth as he came out of the water.

"Patch?" Darla asked, confused.

Patch then let go and looked over. "How did I get in there?"

Urchin yelped out as he had 'dog germs'.

"Really?" Darla asked, unimpressed.

Patch then climbed out of the barrel and shook himself dry.


The kids all wandered and explored, having a lot of fun with Nick and Kate's haunted house.

"Wow, their haunted house is a big success." Amber smiled.

"You should see Ms. Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls." Patch smiled back.

"Don't you mean 'girls'?" Amber asked.

"No, ghouls, it's a Ghoul School." Patch replied.

"Ooh." Annabelle smiled.

"Maybe you girls could come over sometime," Patch invited. "If we ask Ms. Grimwood of course."

"That sounds great." Amber smiled.

The others smiled back.

"I wonder if Tucker will get scared." Urchin smiled.

"I hope so." Darla smirked.

The others students seemed to be impressed and spooked by the haunted house while Tucker and Ms. Wentworth waited outside.


"What's the matter, Tucker?" Ms. Wentworth asked. "Don't you wanna go into the haunted house?"

"Yeah, don't you?" Darla smirked.

"I guess he's still had enough from that monster from last night." Kate smirked herself.

"Well, I think you all did a great job on it." Ms. Wentworth smiled to her students.

"Oh, yeah? Well they did a real lousy job on their pumpkin!" Tucker scoffed as he then came to the Jack-O-Lantern table. "I mean they're never gonna win the Scary Pumpkin Contest, this happy pumpkin is totally unscary!" he then laughed mockingly.

"Well, I think it's great." Annabelle said.

"You would, you fairy girl." Tucker scoffed at her.

Nathaniel then came out from behind the pumpkin and grabbed the bully boy. "Oh, I agree with the fairy girl..." he then grabbed the boy's shirt while glaring with beady red eyes.

Tucker then screamed out of pure fear and ran to hide behind Ms. Wentworth. Nathaniel winked to his friends before then chasing after Tucker to teach him a lesson.

"That should teach him a lesson." Urchin smirked.

"Mm-hmm..." the others nodded in agreement.

"How'd you do that, Nick?" Ms. Wentworth asked about the ghost.

"Sorry, trade secret, right guys?" Nick replied.

"Right." The others nodded.

Nathaniel continued to chase Tucker right out of the school which made the friends laugh as he had deserved that.

The End
