(Got inspired by the Outcasts theme song. And.. Since they are so different.. This was gonna be written eventually. Enjoy!)

Your best friend (um.. Random name...?) Amber dragged you to the carnival that had finally come to your town.

She was excited, and so were you! You had to wait forever for the carnival, since December.

You couldn't wait to ride the rides!

You both had your wrist bands on, meaning you had all access passes to each of the rides.

"So what should we do first?" You ask, rubbing your wrist.

Amber smiles. "I don't know! It all looks so damn fun, I want to do everything!"

You smirk. "Anything..?"

She stares at you for a second. "... Really? ... No! That's not what I meant! You have a dirty mind." She frowns, crossing her arms over her chest.

You just laugh and point to a roller coaster. "Alright, how about that one?"

She nods and grabs your wrist once again, dragging you to the corkscrewed roller coaster.

------------------

After you both screamed your heads off during the roller coaster, you had both rode a few more rides.

But after a while, and after almost puking from too many spinner rides, you decided to take a break.

You both sat at a picnic table, you drinking an ice cold f/d, while Amber ate a corn dog.

"So what now?" She asks, crossing her arms over the table top.

You shrug. "I'm not sure, we could play a few games, even if they're rigged."

She snickers. "True, it could be fun. Even if the prizes suck."

You snicker as well, it was all horridly true.

You looked behind Amber and saw a skeleton monster, they were staring at you with a smile... It was.. A tad bit creepy, being honest.

You stare back at the skeleton, in wonder, as Amber rants about her oh so perfect boyfriend once more, but when you blink.. That skeleton is gone.

"What the..?" You mutter.

Amber stops talking and looks at you, tilting her head. "Y/n, is everything okay? What are you looking at?"

You shake your head. "Sorry, I guess I spaced out.."

She nods. "Oh, okay. Anyway as I was saying, you should have seen what Brad did yesterd-"

However, she gets cutoff by the same skeleton monster, this time they were standing in front of your table, a smirk on their face.

"Um.. Can I help you?" You mutter to them, a sudden chill going down your spine.

They shake they're head, tossing a golden ticket on your table before vanishing in orange smoke.

And when they vanished, a bat had flown by, despite it being the afternoon, it flew towards the large circus tent.

Odd....

You pick up the ticket, and study it. It was gold, sparkling like pixie dust, a emerald green snake design in the middle, circling the V.I.P letters.

"What is that?" Amber asks, pointing at the ticket.

You shrug. "I don't know, that skeleton dude gave it to me.. Real weirdo if you ask me.."

You thought you heard a hiss but you couldn't tell over the shouts of people running around the fairgrounds.

"It looks like an invite to the freak show that's starting here in a little bit. That is so cool! And you're a VIP too!? I am so jealous!" Amber squeals.

"Freak show?" You ask, suddenly interested.

"Yeah! Didn't you read the sign when we walked in? Anyway, there's a freak show that's starting, and it looks like you got a VIP pass. Maybe you'll get to meet them after the show!"

"Really?" You smile, holding the ticket closer, re-reading the cursive VIP letters.

She nods. "Yep! And it's so cool! These guys are famous! Hot too, for monsters, I hear that they are all single.~" She winks.

You roll your eyes. "Oh shut up, when does it start?"

--------------

The tent was much larger than it looked, tons upon tons of people were in the crowd, the bleachers filled to the brim with people.

You however, got a front row seat, thanks to your pass, and Amber sat behind you.

Suddenly the room goes dark, and a single spotlight is on a Burnett girl, her horns curling out of her hair, she wore a ringmaster's coat, a frilly pom pom black tutu, a comically large top hat on her head, she wore platform boots.

"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up and see, things your eyes won't believe! Some say they are strangers, some say they are not of this world, come one, come all, welcome to the freak show!" She laughed, disappearing.

She reappears in a spark of red smoke, a short skeleton holding her up high by the waist, his horns matching hers, he took a deep breath and flames came off his tongue, writing the words:

'Enjoy the show' in flames.

The audience, including you gasped at his talent, and he smirks at the praise.

After some sparks of, pink, orange, purple, green, and blue, five other skeletons appeared under her, forming a star.

They were so.... Different.. Amber was right, they were attractive.

The one dressed in pink hopped off their star shape, flipping and landing on his feet. "Welcome to the freak show! We've got horns and halo's! This is for all of those who felt like an outcast!"

The skeleton from earlier hopped next to him, large bat wings spread behind him. "And to the beautiful lady in the front row!" He winked.

You blushed at his wink, and at the many people turning their heads to you.

---------------

After a few songs preformed by the halo bearing one, and a few fire tricks from the horned one, a very short, and cute skeleton walked out, his eyes closed.

Everyone watched in anticipation, as he slowly walked out from behind the curtains, standing on his small stage.

He suddenly opened his eyes.. Four eyes.. Each of them studying the audience, as if he were judging each of them.

He smiled and ripped off his cloak, eight massive spider legs tore out of his back, webbing covering the ceiling as he balanced on the thin webbing.

He put his arms out and two new skeletons stood on one foot in his palms.

One was blindfolded, juggling knives. The other wore sparkling red sunglasses, a giant python around his neck.

You were impressed, by the smallest skeletons strength, and balance.

But... He did something unexpected.

He flipped, walking on the webbing... Upsidedown!?

He somehow managed to walk across, holding each skeleton as if it were nothing.

The three of them landed in front of you, bowing to the rest of the audience as they cheered.

----------------

"That was f**king amazing!" Amber squealed as you both walked out of the tent.

You were beaming, remembering the events that had taken place minuets before. "Hell yeah it was! Did you see how that one turned into a bat and carried the ring master on his back!?"

Amber nods. "Yeah! It was awesome!"

You both fangirled over the show, and all of the tricks the skeletons did.

Until, a gentle voice distracted you both. "I see that you both enjoyed the show, aren't you the one that Jackson gave the ticket to?"

You turned your head, seeing the ring master herself smiling at you. You nod grinning like a kid on Christmas.

"Yeah! What about it?" You ask her, handing her the ticket.

She shrugs. "Nothing.. Just thought you'd want to meet them. They did work extra hard today, and I figured that seeing you would cheer them up. After all, VIP isn't just for anyone." She smirks.

Your eyes widen. "Are you serious!?"

She laughs. "No, I'm insane. But yes, follow me."

She begins to walk back into the tent, her whip hitting her side with a jingle of its chains.

"Amber can--"

"Yass girl go!" She shoves you. "I'll see you at home! Text me!"

You laugh and wave goodbye to her then follow the ringmaster.

-------------

You see all eight skeletons from the show relaxing in a lounge. The snake haired one drinking a bottle of alcohol.

"Boys, she's here." The ringmaster smiles, pushing you towards them.

The horned one smiled. "Ah there she is. You know, you're pretty cute when you're screaming in joy like that."

The pink one smiled and fluttered over to you, taking your hand and shaking it, then planting a gentle kiss on your knuckles. "Its nice to meet you miss. Did you enjoy the show?"

You nodded with a grin. "It was amazing! You guys are so talented!"

The wolf one blushes and hides behind his hair.

The blindfold one smirks. "Were glad that you enjoyed it darling, your cheers only made us more motivated."

"Well, your welcome.. But.. What's so special about me?" You ask, confused and flustered at the same time. 

The spider one chuckled. "Hallow took interest in you, and we wanted to rock your world, did we succeed?" His British accent sounding a bit flirtatious.

You nod with a blush. "Yes you did, thank you. My life is pretty boring, and tonight was the best night of my life. Thank you."

Many smiles are sent to you.

"Plus you're hot so, that's another reason why we wanted to show you a good time." The gorgon slurred, almost tipping over.

You blushed and his your face, while the ringmaster laughed.

End?

(My f**king power went out.. While I wrote this..-_-)
