Fab is surprised to see Zee They invited him over but he declined Emilio thought it was because Zee was too old for it He’s sixteen now Emilio had said He doesn’t want to sit with a bunch of thirteen-year-olds and carve pumpkins Fab had nodded along with Emilio but secretly he thinks age has nothing to do with it He thinks Zee just isn’t very fond of fire You change your mind Zee Lola asks We still have one left
She rolls a pumpkin toward Zee’s feet and he glances at it As always he wears sunglasses even though the sun set a full hour ago No thanks Where I come from we uh no attack vegetables on Halloween he mumbles Really Emilio asks You don’t carve pumpkins in Iceland Ah no Zee mumbles Fab eyes Zee warily He knows he isn’t from Iceland He doesn’t know where Zee comes from really but he can only imagine the things they do
attack on Halloween Fab gives a small shudder Anyway we no need pumpkins for fun Zee says I have made very exciting Halloween plan for band They all stare up at him and Fab eyes Zee’s red-gloved hands which seem weirdly fidgety As a drummer Zee often randomly taps out beats with his fingers but tonight his hands seem more restless than usual Zee seems to notice Fab looking and quickly jams his hands into his hoodie pocket
I get us gig for Halloween night In real rock club Zee announces Fab scrambles to his feet No way Zee gives Fab a small smirk Yes way Fabian You’re kidding Lola shouts We’re going to play the Black Arrow on Halloween That rocks Emilio pumps his fist in the air Wait Zee shakes his head Gig not at Black Arrow They look at Zee in confusion But Fab says The Black Arrow
