Fruit Bat Squad

'''I was supposed to write this is October. Pretend it's October.'''

Luna flew into a tree and looked at three bats. "Hi, I got the—" Luna was cut off by the smaller bat. "Unacceptable, you're late now." The male bat named Fangs said. "Shut up! It's not like someone is gonna come find the Mango Tree and kill us!" Luna growled.

"Well, now that you're here, we can tell you what the animals are going to do to us soon." Another female bat named Myst said. "What are they gonna do?" Luna asked, perching on a branch upside down. "Well, it's the time when baby animals run around in the middle of the night trying to get candy even though they might get run over or kidnapped—" Luna rolled her eyes.

"Get to the point, Myst." Myst cleared her voice. "Well, they've decided that pet bats will be returning. If we don't just enjoy the mangoes we have now, we'll get captured and taken away!" Myst squeaked. "Oh no! They're crazy!" Luna cried. "Shut up! Myst is right—if we just stay in the tree and eat the mangoes, we'll be safe." Fangs said. "But we need exercise!" Luna whined.

"Luna, we're fine in the Oak." A young female bat named Echo insisted. "No, we actually aren't! We can't just eat and sleep all...year!" Luna protested. "Then go out on your own!" Fangs growled, wrapping his wings around himself to sleep. "The sun is coming up, and I'm tired."

Luna crept out of the tree when the next night to see many baby animals running around for candy. There were phantom decorations and lights everywhere. Purple, black and orange blinded Luna's eyes. Many of the animals had pet bats and pumpkin baskets. Luna fluttered over to a tree and yanked an orange fruit off.

"BAT! MOM GIVE ME THE BAT RIGHT NOW!" A young tiger screeched. Luna headed for a different tree and escaped safely. Luna waited until the coast was clear and made her way back to the Mango Tree.

"It went wrong, didn't it?" Myst asked with a piece of mango in her hands. "Y-yeah, but I still hate this idea!" Luna growled, holding the orange out. "This fruit is delicious, yet we can't eat any if we stay in this Mango Tree!" Luna added.

"You see, it won't be our fault if you get taken!" Fangs hissed, also eating a mango. "What will we drink?" Luna asked sharply. "Idiot! We swim in the water for a while, then go back to the tree to lick the water from our fur!" Echo growled. "I forgot!" Luna swooped away in search of a pond.
