The air starts to crisp outside, leaving frost in its wake. The wind howling and leaves dance in its wind. The leaves are hues of orange along the evening sky. It smells of wood and ash outside. Autumn is finally here. Two friends decide this is the perfect time to hold a party for fall.

Rocket and blitz decide on their way to their friends to pick up some things. When stopping at a store they realized that some of the people their were dressed in warm earth tones to match the season. They decided to use them as inspiration for what decorations they wanted to get. They chose some pumpkins, soft orange lights, a couple of thriller films and some candles. While walking around they also spotted some blankets and decided those would be a good idea as it became cooler outside.

On their way to their friends, they spotted a large red barn. Outside of it their was a farmer selling lots of fall delights. A few wooden booths sat in a row and the smell of pumpkin pie filled the air. At the first booth their was rows of different candied apples. Some with caramel and some adorned with sprinkles. Most of them had a design, the majority had a spooky theme. At the next booth there was some pumpkin pies. These all for the most part had the same look to them except for the occasional caramel drizzle. The next one was a bit smaller and held apple cider. After some deciding they decided to get a pie, a jug of cider and some apples. They continued on their journey.

After a few minutes of traveling, they finally made it to their friends home. The yard had a bit of a creepy vibe. It was transformed into a spine-chilling spectacle. Tombstones emerge from the ground, adorned with eerie inscriptions. A fog machine engulfs the scene, creating an eerie atmosphere. Along with skulls that hung freely from a tree. And skeletons trying to escape their earth prisons. It's hauntingly beautiful and have them the chills. When they knock on the door a friendly face appears!

Skully opened the door and led them into a world of comfort. The home was warm in comparison to the frigid outside. It had a similar earthy feel like those at the store. Skully had decorated the home with lots of candles illuminating the home in warm ness and their flicker felt inviting.

As they worked on their decorations, Rocket and Skully couldn't help but notice the falling of the leaves outside their window. They realized that winter was truly right around the corner. And they’d only have fall for so long.

With their fall party decorations complete and the house now adorned with oranges and blacks. Rocket and Skully eagerly awaited the arrival of their friends. The party was a smashing success, with everyone admiring the outside decorations compared to the warmth of inside the home. Laughter filled the air as they danced, shared stories, and enjoyed the delicious fall treats from the farmer. They even had a fight on whom would get the blanket since it had gotten cooler than expected.

As the night came to an end, Rocket and Skully couldn't help but feel they were ready for the seasons change.
