♠ The body of the fic:
Shirocchi and Kurocchi were incredibly excited about the holiday that was coming up. It was Halloween, and that meant that they could dress up and wear wonderful Halloween costumes. They could even try to get all of their friends to do it, too! That was their goal, at least. They wanted to make sure that everyone got to have an awesome Halloween costume, and they had both snuck out late at night in order to retrieve things for everyone to wear. Even if it was difficult, they really wanted to get everyone in on the holiday!

And so, they began their attempt at getting everyone to get into the Halloween spirit. While donning their costumes - Shirocchi was dressed as an angel, while Kurocchi was dressed as a devil - they set off to visit Mikan-tan, since they figured that she'd be the easiest to convince. They were right, too! It only took a glance at the costume - a round orange - before Mikan-tan was putting it on and getting ready to convince the next person.

The next stop was Kou-kun. He was also quite easy to convince because of his energy and enthusiasm, and soon, he was wearing a lemon costume! Two of the easiest ones were down, at least. It meant less work later as they worked their way through the people that they were all friends with.

The herd of Kurocchi, Shirocchi, Kou, and Mikan, made their way to Akai-san next. His costume was that of an apple, and he wasn't really one to turn down the kids that wanted to do something fun, and nor was he one to deny fun things anyway. He put his apple costume on and joined the herd that was slowly forming. So far, so good! It was going rather smoothly, although it was still entirely possible for everything to be a total failure as they got onto their friends that represented the cooler colors. The next person on their list ... well, she was probably going to be easy to convince, too.

Midori~n was next. She was cool, and she always went at her own pace... but they were lucky! Halloween was a thing that she was prepared to do, and it fit into whatever she wanted to do ... but she refused to wear the lime costume. Instead, she did what she wanted. It wasn't a fruit costume at all! Instead, it was more of a magical girl-esque costume that looked ... somewhat like her actual clothes, but they clearly weren't. No one was particularily disappointed about that, at least, because they all knew that Midori~n was always going to do whatever she wanted.

Next up was the one that would probably be most difficult. Aoi-sama was stiff and uptight, and his idea of "fun"... was usually different than what most of them thought were good. Either way, there were a lot of debates (and sometimes the -sama was forgotten, and he got very angry over that!), but they finally got him to agree when they said that they wouldn't forget the -sama ever again. It was ... difficult, but at least the resolution involved him being in a blueberry costume. It probably wasn't the best costume for his personality... but they managed to make it happen anyway.

Murasaki-dono was next. Her costume didn't follow the fruit theme that most of the others were wearing - no, instead, she was a butterfly. A graceful, purple butterfly. It was easy enough to get her into the costume since the costume covered the things that she liked most, and she did like to have a good party every once in awhile.

The next stop was Tobi-han—he was also easy, although his costume was more like something along the lines of Indiana Jones. They didn't even have to tell him or ask him. In fact, he was already wearing it when they went to knock on his door. What a lucky surprise! ... That's assuming it was a costume, at least. Everyone knew how much Tobi-han enjoyed adventuring. Either way, it was still something that wasn't his usual set of clothes and he was wearing it and ready to go party!

Finally. . . only Gin-sensei remained. It was easy enough to get him into his costume - he was ... already wearing it, actually! The only thing they had to put on him was a wig full of crazy hair to make him look the part of a mad scientist. And once the wig was there... that meant that their journey to get everyone to don a costume worked!

It was time to get their treats - Shirocchi and Kurocchi had stocked up on those as well - since it was Halloween and what is Halloween without candy, too? So ... once the costumes were done, everyone proceeded to enjoy the party and their candy. All in all, this really was going to be a great Halloween.
