10pm, day before the pumpkin patch opens to the public.

Jaxon his entire being revolves around morostide. He loves to come up with cute little gifts to hide in the pumpkin patch. And on top of his list, he has people to make sure his pumpkins get nothing but the best care so they are perfect by the time morostide comes around. So back to those cute little gifts, he lures minions in his patch, attempts to hide candy (for guests, but in reality also from all-eating Snowflake). Every year it's a careful process where Jaxon frolics around his pumpkin patch like a child on the eve of Luminaire.

This time it was no difference, Ian was having a warm cup of hot choco in front of the fire when Jaxon eagerly entered the manor.
"I did it! I'm ready for this years visitors!"

"That's good to hear darling, now relax for a moment", Ian said while looking up from his cup.

"What did you put in the patch this year if I may ask?" Ian curiously asked.

"Oh you know, the usual. Minions, food, clothes .... "

"I never understood your choices Jaxon. Minions can escape, food is most likely to be eaten by that every so hungry Snowflake of yours and clothes will be dirty by day 1. Do you ever think of the poor souls who visit the last day? 2 minions that didn't leave yet, 1 type of candy left because Snowflake didn't like it. And last but not least... clothes that have been trampled, smell like pumpkin and likely have shat on by your pets".

"Relax Ian, I know what I'm doing! It rarely ever goes wrong and my family has been doing this for generations. This year I took precautions and put 10 kinds of food outside the manor for Snowflake to distract her from the candy."

"Alright, I have faith in you! I'm going to sleep because I want to be fully rested for your big day of the year tomorrow!"


7:00 am Morning of the first open pumpkin patch day.

Ian peeks out of the window of the bedroom, his mouth falling open in shock. The pumpkins were chewed on! Ian ran towards the library where Jaxon spend most of his nights. JAXON, YOUR PUMPKINS!
"What?" Jaxon looked puzzled and went to take a look outside, and indeed Ian his first judgement had been right.

Hundreds of pumpkins had been chewed on and big parts were simply eaten. There was a mini bear sitting on a nearby pumpkin holding a pumpkin parts in his claws, casually eating without noticing the upset owner of the pumpkins.

"It possibly can't be that this bear ate all the pumpkins?" Jaxon mumbled completely confused.

"Of course it can't! You know enough maths and biology to know hundreds of pumpkins can't be eaten by a 20 cm high bear!" Ian was equally puzzled because all that was in sight was the tiny orange bear.

Jaxon was getting visibly upset which was really alarming for someone who likes to keep their feelings to themselves. Ian rationalized the emergency situation: "You know what i'll do? I'll get in touch with Maybel. She said she was closing the minion shop to come over here for a day so I suppose she'll be nearby!"

Maybel was indeed not very far away, when she arrived at Skelly manor the orange bear had been surrounded by several pitch black glowing pets. "Ohhhhh you found a pumpkin eating bear!" the old lady went towards it rather enthusiast and picked it up holding it tightly against her fragile body.

"A...pum..kin..eating bear?" Jaxon was stunned.

"Yep, this is a specific minion breed that has been bred to take care of the excessive amount of leftover pumpkins after morostide. They come in big groups, they grow to maximum 20 cm's high and are around 5kg's heavy. They are popular minions you know, very friendly, intelligent and easy to maintain. Why did you put them in your patch Jaxon?"

"The hustler came to me the other day, said he had a giant batch of adorable orange themed minions that would be really popular in my patch. He sold them to me for a really generous price."
"You know, for being and old ghost you can be rather stupid sometimes. You bought something from the hustler? You bought something when he came directly to you? That should ring several alarm bells!" Ian was baffled by his friend his stupidity.

"You forget I'm only in this world for around 14 days a year when the moon is right. All I do during those days is running a pumpkin patch for thousands of visitors, read books and snog you! I don't have time to keep up with the rest of Subeta!"
