Today at school, I had an experience I will never forget. I had just finished my lunch, and I went to throw something away. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, "Somebody, help! My friend is choking!" I rushed to the scene. One of the kids looked up at me desperately and said, "I don't know what to do." I said, "But I do!" As I berkata that, I gave his friend a sharp blow between the shoulders. The boy was able to cough it up forcefully. Once he could talk again, he said, "Thank you." I said, "You're welcome. Are anda okay?" He said, "Yeah." Later, I was getting ready to head home. I then heard a voice saying, "Grace, wait up!" I turned around. It was the boy I saved earlier. He said, "I want to thank anda again for saving my life." I said, "Oh, it was nothing." He said, "Nothing? I would be dead if not for you." I said, "Okay, I guess it's a little something." As we walked to the bus, he said, "Everyone's talking about it. You're a hero, Grace." I said, "No, I'm not. I was just trying to do the right thing." He said, "I'm glad anda did." I then said, "Hey, anda know my name, but I don't know yours." He said, "Freddy." I said, "I'm glad I could help, Freddy." I later saw the story on the news channel. I berkata to my aunt, "I wasn't trying to be a hero. I was just doing the right thing." She said, "Grace, anyone who tries to do what's right is a hero. Own up to it."

Some time later, Una and Everett were settled in a cozy small cafe eating sandwiches and sipping labu spice lattes while foil cutouts of cute ghosts and pumpkins hung from the walls around them.
"Thanks again, Una," Everett berkata after a time. "I just... I don't like small spaces very much."
Una smiled at him and reached across the meja, jadual to touch his hand. "Hey, anda saved my life once. It's time I saved yours."
They sat in a comfortable silence for a bit, enjoying this much calmer stage of their Halloween celebrations. Una was first to break it.
"I can't believe we solved a real mystery! I can't wait to go utama and tell Mother what the secret of the haunted house is."
"Yes," Everett smiled at her. "The secret is my talented actress and her ghost impression."
Una beamed.

"What lead anda to the club where anda first saw us, Henry?" Les asked. Henry replied, "One of my neighbors told me that a rock band called A Wave Tossed in the Ocean was going to perform at the club that had opened the sebelumnya week. I thought that the name sounded interesting, so I asked him what kind of rock music, and he said, 'I think it's stuff from the sixties and seventies.' I was eager to hear the songs from my youth. When I saw anda perform, I knew anda were the right fit. Of course, anda know how we met backstage." Jimmy said, "And the rest is history." Everyone laughed. "Yes," Henry said. "The rest is history." Just then, Felix looked at his cellphone and said, "It's 10:00, guys." Henry said, "We better go to bed. We've got a big hari tomorrow." The boys all said, "Okay. Good night, Henry." Henry smiled and said, "Good night, boys. Pleasant dreams." With that, they retired to their beds for the night.
