Lock and Barrel both laughed when they heard Shock's voice on the radio. Barrel had more within the pumpkin patch. There was Behemoth, of course, but Wolfman and a few of the bigger monsters had come to help gather more pumpkins for the preparations. Several rapidly-fired water balloons later, and they'd join the others in confusion. Barrel helped himself to a particularly large pumpkin now that Behemoth was occupied and forgetful.

Over in the graveyard, Lock had less to do. He'd only seen Hanging Tree and Sally enter, and of the two, Sally had already gone back into town. Lock listened for the gate, and watched Hanging Tree further down the path. He might have to get closer, but at least he had plenty of ammunition.

Behind him, the gate creaked open. Lock quickly grabbed a water balloon and loaded it into his slingshot. Just as he was about to let go, he completely took in who had entered: Carmilla and Lillith.

Lock hesitated for a second, as he expected them to be in town. He briefly realized he should have warned Lillith, or at least, invited her to the tree house and out of the way of the prank.

Too late now. Thrills before girls, after all. Lock shifted his aim so the balloon would hit Carmilla.
