Halloween!
When Zack woke up, the first thing he wanted to do had nothing to do with squats on the beach or patrolling. No, he saw his sword as soon as he opened his eyes and he wanted to play with it. It was cool and shiny looking. He had never felt so much pride in the fact that it was his! He hopped out of bed which seemed higher than usual and ran over to sword. It was lying on the ground next to his cot.
Sitting down on the floor next to the sword, he tilted his head to the side and rubbed the shiny parts. In his imagination, it was composed of a futuristic metal that could burn bad guys. He had the sudden urge to look over his shoulder as though he might be caught doing something he shouldn't be doing. He reached for the handle to pick it up, but it didn't budge apart from scooting a few inches further along the floor. He gave it a few more attempts, but all ended in failure at the surprising and sudden weight of the sword. Only after the third attempt did he notice the size of his hands compared to the hilt. That wasn't right.
"CLOUD!" Zack said in what could be classified as an outdoor voice by some. The sword forgotten, he wandered into the other rooms of the hut. If something was happening to him maybe it was happening to Cloud too. He pushed open the door to Cloud's room. The other man looked the same as he always did except for the fact that he was asleep. "Wake up, Cloud," he said, running up and jumping onto the bed. "Cloud?" he leaned down and put his small hand on the man's face, bringing his own face inches from Cloud's eyes. "Cloud," he whispered quietly into cupped hands.
***
After he had successfully woken up Cloud and discovered the candy that had magically appeared in the hut, Zack had gone outside to play. If people had called him a puppy before, he would have been described as a hyperactive puppy hopped on sugar now. He remembered it was Halloween. He wondered if the arrival of the candy meant other people had candy too.
If they did, he needed a costume.
***
The clothes box only had only given him one costume. It wasn't the super hero costume that he wanted, but it was better than the ballerina tutu that was absolutely not an option. That was a girl's costume.
[[So have him trying to get the clothing box to give him something else, play with him in the ocean or on the playground or anywhere else, or go trick-or-treating with him. Unless you are Cloud who gets Zack in his face. Open for the rest of the month or so.]]

He smiled when she knelt down next to him. "Hello Morgan," he said happily. Even though he was aware of all of his memories, he still wanted to add 'Miss' in front of her name for the formality. "Did you get any candy in your hut? We had candy! I ate some of it."

"Hello, Zack. There was candy in the hut, yes. I hope you did not eat too much of it, or you will soon need a nap."
