This is the story of Pumpkin (portrayed by Bella). Pumpkin loves the autumn season. On this beautiful evening, Pumpkin decided she wanted to pick a pumpkin from the local pumpkin patch. When Pumpkin made it to the pumpkin patch, she was amazed to see the patch was empty.

“Where are all the pumpkins?” She wondered.
“Why, they are hiding.” A voice echoed from above.
“Hiding? From what?” Pumpkin looked up to see a black and white cat (portrayed by Oreo) wearing a skull handkerchief. He sat in a tree next to the only pumpkin in the patch. “Can I have that pumpkin, please?”

“The cold of course! It’s pretty chilly out. And, no, you can not have my pumpkin.” He said.
“Why not?”
“It’s mine. Go find your own.”
“But I don’t see any others.”
“They are still hiding from the cold.”
“Where?”
“In the ground, silly girl!” The mysterious cat chuckled, then pointed down to the base of the tree. There, between roots, was a hole, big enough for Pumpkin to fall in.
“I don’t think it’s safe for me to go in that hole.” Pumpkin said as she gazed into the abyss.
“I see..” The cat whispers as he paws his pumpkin off the branch. It crashes down onto Pumpkin, sending her into the hole. The moment she enters, she passes out.
When Pumpkin awoke, she found herself in a patch full of pumpkins.
“The pumpkins!” Pumpkin jumped to her feet and scouted the area. There was someone by almost every pumpkin. Each second Pumpkin watched, a pumpkin was chosen. “I have to pick one quick!”
She ran to the closest available pumpkin. It was huge, four times her size. Pumpkin was so happy she got such an amazing pumpkin, until she noticed a spiky tail that lead to the other side of the pumpkin.
On the other side was a old, green dinosaur. (Portrayed by Jack)

“Hello, hello little lady! Come to see my amazing pumpkin up close?”
“Oh, yes! It is quite amazing.”
“Where is your pumpkin?” He looked at her empty hands.
“I haven’t found one yet.” Pumpkin shrugs, but she felt immensely embarrassed.
“Well you better hurry up, they are going fast!”
Pumpkin nodded before sprinting to the nearest free pumpkin. As she ran, a thumping ran alongside her. She looked over to see a unicorn (portrayed by Henrietta) gallop past her, ramming her horn into the pumpkin. Pumpkin stopped in her tracks.

“It’s mine! I got a pumpkin!!” Pumpkin juice coated the unicorn’s horn as she jumped around excitedly.
Pumpkin turned to find another pumpkin, and soon enough she did. She scurried for it, but just as she leaps for it, it’s up in the air. Pumpkin falls and skids along the ground.
“Huh?” Pumpkin looked up expecting a flying pumpkin, but is surprised to see the whooshing sounds come from bat wings. Pumpkin circled to the front to see the bat. (Portrayed by Brina)

“My first pumpkin!” The little black bat smiled big before flying off.
“Darn!” Pumpkin was upset she lost another pumpkin, but wasn’t going to give up. She took a moment to look for another free pumpkin. When she does, she sees it go beneath water and back up again. It leaves the water, but beneath it is a big blue shark. (Portrayed by Percy)

“Psst. Hey you.” The shark whispers. “Do you like my pumpkin?” As the pumpkin sat on the head of the shark, Pumpkin noticed it had a small and sharpie, smiley face.
“It’s so cute!” Pumpkin admired.
“Thank you! Can I see yours?”
Pumpkin’s shoulders drooped. “I haven’t found one yet, but when I do, I will show you!” Pumpkin turned around and ran for the next chance for an unpicked pumpkin. She ran and ran, her eyes locked on. She leaped once again for a hopeful advantage, but in the moment before she touched it, a giant paw claps onto the top. Pumpkin crashed into the side of the pumpkin.
“Are you alright?” A fuzzy lion (portrayed by Pepper) asked, worried.

“Y-yes, I am.” Pumpkin jumped to her feet. “I’m sorry for crashing into your pumpkin.” She bowed her head down then turned for a new pumpkin quest.
“No worries.” The lion shouted as Pumpkin left. Pumpkin felt hopeless until she saw the tiniest pumpkin in a bush. She hurried over and tried to shake the pumpkin out of the webs, but it doesn’t budge. She shakes harder, but all she gets is a tiny scream.
“Woah!” A little elderly spider (portrayed by Pippi) crawled from the back of the pumpkin and looks up at Pumpkin. “What happened? I’m all dizzy!”

“Oh, no. I’m so sorry, are you okay?”
“I think so. Have you come to see my pumpkin?” The little spider smiles sweetly.
“Oh..uh yes! But, I need to go look for my own now.. goodbye.”
“Alright then, goodbye miss.” The spider waved.
Pumpkin looked at all the creatures that had pumpkins, then looked down at her empty hands. She began to cry. “I don’t get a pumpkin?”
“What do you mean? I sent you in with one.” A familiar voice called from behind.
When Pumpkin turned, she saw the cat from the tree sitting next to two pumpkins.
“I gave you the pumpkin you asked for. Do you not like it?” He chuckled.
“N-no! I love it!!” She ran over and hugged the cat tight. “Thank you, thank you!” Pumpkin grabbed her pumpkin and held it up high. “Look everyone! My pumpkin!” She smiled big, as everyone turned and clapped.
“Nice pumpkin!” The lion shouted.
“Good job.” The bat agreed.
“Now it’s a true party.” The unicorn danced.
“It’s so lovely.” Said the spider sweetly.
“I love it.” The dinosaur roared.
“It can be friends with my pumpkin.” The shark offered.
“Thank you all, my new friends!”
Pumpkin felt extremely happy.
