Intro to 21st Century American Culture - Monday - Period Five

As Lorelai’s students entered the classroom, they were greeted by the aroma of a pumpkin scented candle. There were bowls of candy placed around the room and Lorelai had hung fake spider webs around the room.

Once everyone had arrived and was seated, Lorelai grinned.

“Today we’re going to start learning about traditional American holidays,” she said. “I’m sure you’ve all noticed my decorations. We’re only about a month away from celebrating Halloween.” She went on to give a short lecture on the origins of Halloween and the modern celebrations of said holiday.

“Of course, after Halloween, we only have a few weeks before the winter holiday bonanza,” Lorelai continued, passing out a handout with information about Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Years as she discussed the various holidays.

“Any questions?”

Bel looked unhappy throughout the class. "You don't know the half of the dangers of Halloween," he muttered absently.

Kaylee looked over the handouts. She was completely fascinated by the holidays and traditions, especially Halloween.

"Can't find a costume?" Marty asked. "I'm sure we could find something for you. What do you want to go as?"

"I'm sure I can find something if I wanted to," Bel said. "I'm just not in the mood right now to think about stupid things like that."

"Dude. Free candy. Get over it and find a costume," Marty said rolling his eyes. "Want me to find one for you? I think Veronica left that sailor outfit here before she left."

"I think that'd suit you better," Bel said irritably. "Why don't you try it on?"

"What do you mean?" Lyra asked quietly. Halloween had never been big in her world, what with the totalitarian Church government.

"I don't have the legs for it," Marty said rolling his eyes. "You're certainly in a grumpy mood today. What's the matter? You can't even take a joke?"

"Phoebe was supposed to call me last night for a ride home from San Francisco and she didn't," Bel said glumly.

"It's when the veil between the worlds is thinnest," Bel said. "And some demons can come back from the dead for revenge."

"I wonder why my father didn't try it then..." Lyra mused, almost to herself.

"I take it these aren't the fun, conscience-type daemons?" she asked.

Bel shook his head. "More like the 'You killed me and now I want revenge' type of demons."

"Hm," Lyra said. "Well, if anything, I think this school is more likely prepared for something like that than my last school. D'you think it'll happen?" She sounded more curious than alarmed.

Bel shrugged. "With this place, it's just as likely as we get undead demons coming back for revenge as it is an invasion of wee tiny bunnies wearing pumpkin heads."

Lyra started to laugh then stopped, looking puzzled. "Wait, what?"

"That's right, you weren't here for the wee tiny bunnies, were you?" Bel said.
