It was a crispy night for Halloween. The moon was shining, a little bit cloudy, but nevertheless, still clear. Perfect weather for trick-or-treating, and that's exactly what everyone in Adventure Bay was excited about, especially the moons.

"Halloween is my favorite time of the year!" Rubble said, his little bud of a tail wagging.

"Only because there's treats involved, Rubble." Rocky said, causing him, Zuma, and Skye to laugh.

"That's true, I do love a good treat." The Bulldog commented, grinning as the other three laughed again.

"My favorite thing about Halloween is dressing up! Not only do I look like a princess, I feel like one too." Skye said, twirling around in her pink dress.

"Best part of all, we have Evewest joining us awound this time. This will be her fiwst Halloween spent awound someone other than penguins." Zuma said, dressed as a zombie. The others agreed.

"You're not only princess around here Skye, Everest is going to dress up as Elsa from Frozen." Rubble said, making Skye giggle. Meanwhile, as the pups continued to talk about how this year Halloween was going to be spectacular, Chase, dressed as batman, began walking towards his mate's pup house and knocked on the door.

"Marshall? The others are waiting for us. Are you ready?" He asked. He heard shifting from the inside before Marshall muttered out 'in a minute!' and the German Shepherd couldn't help but shake his head. A minute later and the door open to reveal Marshall dressed as the joker.

"How do I look?"

"Like a clown." Chase said, smirking when Marshall rolled his eyes.

"Thanks Chase. Or, since you're a bat instead of a dog, how about Batty?" He said, smiling when Chase gave out a low growl in a non-threatening matter.

"Watch it." He said, giving Marshall a lick on his cheek, causing him to giggle. The two could have spent hours wrapped in each other's presence if it wasn't for Zuma calling out to them.

"Hey lovebiwds! Twick-ow-tweating isn't going to last fowever!" He shouted.

"Yeah, if I have to miss it because you two were busy loving each other, I'm never going to let you hear the end of it!" Rubble said, causing them to laugh. Knowing Rubble to keep true to his word, Chase nuzzled his mate.

"Shall we go, Joker?"

"We shall, Batty."

And with that, the group headed into town, a night of fun waiting for them.

Or...was it?

A/n: Thanks for HavocHound for sending me a better idea for a tragic love story of Chase and Marshall. Sure, it's bland now, but the idea is good and the ending I'm going for might surprise you. Who knows? :D
