"Alright, Clara, here's the plan."

Clara, Christine's 7 year-old sister, nodded seriously.

"You go up to that house, and when they take out their bowl of candy, you SNATCH it!!"

Clara looked determined. "Okay I can do it!"

"Yeah!! You can do it!"

Just as Clara was about to bounce up the steps to a house on Halloween night, her shoulder was caught by a hand.

"Clara, you don't have to do that. In fact, don't, it's bad manners. Michael, don't be a bad influence."

Jeremy Heere turned to Michael, raising his eyebrows in challenge.

"When did you become Mr Responsible," Michael muttered under his breath.

"Dude, come on, Christine trusted us with taking Clara around to trick-or-treat, the least we can do is be good about it." Jeremy shook his head, a smile creeping onto his face. "Besides," he continued, "we can just buy a bunch of discounted candy after this. It's only until 9:00 anyways."

"But this is free!" Michael complained. "Is discounted free, Jeremy?"

"Well of course not, but this stuff is for kids."

Michael grumbled in defeat, remembering the looks he got when he went out to get some quick candy last year before the party he and Jeremy no longer spoke of.

In the meantime, Clara had hopped down the steps, returning from her aborted mission.

"Wait, Clara, what??" Jeremy's voice broke Michael out of his sulk to look over at the tiara-wearing girl.

"The lady said she didn't wanna give out any more candy. You can have it, Mikey!" She bounced once again over to Michael and handed him almost an entire bag of assorted chocolates.

"This child is a saint sent from above." Michael pretended to cry as he got on his knees to hug Clara tightly. Clara giggled in response.

Jeremy seemed to be at a loss for what to say before putting his responsible act back on. "Wh-whatever it's 8:50 we should start heading back." He turned around with a huff and began to walk back in the direction of Christine's house.

Michael grinned as the two got into his car after dropping off Clara.

"You totally want some, don't you?" Michael asked teasingly.

"Shut up," Jeremy replied, grabbing a snickers from the bag.

Guys this was supposed to be a short meme what the heck why must I lengthen these things haha.

I'm late on the Halloween thing, but I was sitting heere, eating the chocolate I bought after Halloween (no one in my neighborhood gave out chocolate what the heck is up with this outrage) and I was like. Michael would totally make a bunch of little kids just raid people's candy for him. (And yes I went out trick-or-treating with my younger brother. It was so fun don't judge me please lmao)

That bunch of little kids became Christine's little sister. Who obviously doesn't exist, but consider this. A tiny Christine with the same level of ignorance to mischief and stupidity as her older sister.

Anyways. Yeah. I like Clara. And this happened. Clara is my headcannon OC now, I guess?

But yeeeah! This was short and quick but amusing to write. Not gonna bother with proofreading oops. Hope you enjoy. Love you all <3
