It's hard to set up an indoor picnic when weetiny pumpkins keep trying to cling to your feet and ankles. And it got even more difficult when the pumpkins growled at her when she tried to move them off the takeout containers from Ching Tai. Isabel finally gave up and sat on her bed, entertaining herself by rolling any of the pumpkins that made it up there off to the ground.

Greg meandered upstairs and knocked on the door, trying to shake the weetiny pumpkins clinging to his arms.

"It's open!" She called out. "Try not to let anymore small, growling gourds in."

Greg let himself in, trying to dislodge bitty pumpkins all the while. "Growling?" he asked, looking mildly panicked.

Isabel pointed to the one that was sitting on top of the container of Lo Mein. "He growls. We might have to sacrifice the lo mein to him."

Greg stared at it.

The pumpkin growled.

Greg growled back.

"What is wrong with this school?" he asked Isabel.

"Nothing," she laughed. "Aren't they cute? And so perfectly appropriate for the holiday." Isabel patted the spot on the bed next to her, "Come sit. We can hide from the scary pumpkins up here."

Greg scrambled up onto the bed. "Why do they growl?" he asked, plucking tiny clingy gourds off his clothes.

Isabel helped with the gourd plucking, grabbing a quick kiss as she did so. "You've never heard of vampire pumpkins?"

"...no," said Greg. "No, this is new."

"It's an old gypsy legend," she explained. "According to the legend, any watermelon or pumpkin kept for more then ten days after Christmas will turn into a vampire and growl at people. This could be Fandom's version. Look at it this way," Isabel grinned. "At least they don't have teeth."

"Do they even have mouths?" he asked, peering at the wee ferocious pumpkin.

"I wasn't about to try and find out," Isabel laughed. "Somehow the idea of wee pumpkins gnawing on my fingers is just weird. You can try. And if you start screaming in pain I'll save you."

"I think I'm good," Greg said, wrapping his arms around her waist. "You mentioned food."

"There's a small feast from Ching Tai," she said, returning the hug. "I hope you're hungry."

"Of course," he assured her. "I have something for you first, though."

"You shouldn't have," Isabel said immediately.

Greg grinned. "Tough. I did."

He got up and, wary of the pumpkins, retrieved something from outside the door.

"Meet my new friend (http://www.sendasmilegifts.com/alienplushtoy.html)," he said.

Said friend had this (http://www.godiva.com/catalog/product.aspx?id=1186&SE_Section=Shop&SE_Category=83) tied up under its arm, and this (http://www.bluenile.com/product_details.asp?oid=3795&track=product_search_imglink&page=1&row=1&col=3&nav1=necklace_channel.asp&nav2=product%5Fsearch%2Easp%3Fproduct%5Fsearch%5Fscatid%3D135%26product%5Fsearch%5Fprid%3D1%26product%5Fsearch%5Fpage%3D0%26product%5Fsearch%5Ffilter%3D0%26product%5Fsearch%5Fsort%3D0) around its neck.

"Hi!" she waved cheerfully, then smiled up at Greg. "He looks like he has exquisite taste."

"She?" Isabel asked, frowning slightly. "Should I be jealous?"

From: [identity profile] like-a-sponge.livejournal.com
"No, no," Greg assured her. "She's very wee. Also I prefer my alien girlfriends to have hair."

Of course that made Isabel immediately push her hair back and then pull it up off her neck. "Would you put the necklace on me please? It's lovely."

From: [identity profile] like-a-sponge.livejournal.com
"Of course," Greg said, unclasping the necklace from around the plushie alien's neck and moving over to put it around Isabel's. He pressed a kiss to the back of her neck as he did so.

"Thank you," she said, turning for a kiss. When she finally pulled away, Isabel smiled. "I just happened to find something for you. I hope you like it." Getting to her feet, she carefully stepped through the pumpkins and opened her closet, returning a moment later with a wrapped box. "It's not really sentimental. But I thought you would like it."

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH," said Greg, his eyes wide. "It's so shiny."
