With the festivities running rampant and many of the dinosaurs partaking in them and Banshee was interested in this as he had overheard and watched many others but he was mainly interested in this because a event that had caught his interest and that was the bobbing for apples and he had been making his way to the old farms that had many over ripe fruits and a large amount but he needed to get them first and lots of it. The apple bobbing was a big thing amongst the herbivores on the island and Banshee wanted to throw a little event together so others could join him in the fun and the fact he had never done it himself so he would need someone to teach him how.

“I think the farm is this way I can smell the overripe fruit” Banshee said to himself as he followed down a pathway that had large old bare trees and the sight of the old fence that surrounded the crops which were full and plentiful. The crops were full of pumpkins and various other fruits that Banshee honked happily before seeing an old twine basket that was sitting in the long grass that he grabbed in his beak.

Walking into the field Banshee looked over all the crops, picking some up and putting them into the Basket to use for the apple bobbing activities he had planned for later on in the evening. He wanted it to be just the right amount of spooky for everyone since it was the halloween season, Banshee was overly excited as he kept putting more into the basket such as Pumpkins, Squash, and many other ripe fruit that filled the air with a lovely scent that any herbivore would die for.

The leaves from old tree’s that hung over the farm floated down to the ground as a nice breeze moved across the island which really set the mood for Banshee as he was collecting more fruit and other things to decorate the area that he was going to do the apple bobbing at and that was one thing he couldn’t forget was the main thing Apples!!! Which were hanging from a large tree in the middle of the farm's crops area.

“That's what I was forgetting the apples! Can’t apple bob without the main fruit!” Banshee honked out as he picked up the basket and made his way over to the large tree that had red delicious apples hanging from the branches and low enough for the styraco to grab them with his beak. As Banshee got closer he placed down the basket and stood up on his hind legs placing his front on the base of the tree trunk as he reached up grabbing at the branches that he could and broke them off as they fell down onto the ground.

As the apples fell he smiled before stomping down onto the ground and picking them as he put them into the basket, their red skin gleaming with juiciness and ripe red colors that were deep. Banshee smiled at all the things he had collected and it was now time to head home and figure out how he was going to set up the apple bobbing as he wanted many of his friends to come and enjoy the fun with him.

“Now time to head back with everything” he said before trotting down the pathway again, and soon enough Banshee was back at a open area that had a large hole in the middle that he had dug out to put the water and apples in so they could bob them out of there or so what he heard. Taking the basket he went to a stream that was close by and hauled water back and forth filling the hole up and once it was full he began placing all the fruit into the water as they splashed and began to float which made the sty excited.

“It’s complete now to just invite some others over and we can start to bob for apples” He said taking off to grab some friends he knew would have fun bobbing for apples with him, soon the sound of footsteps could be heard as the group had returned with Banshee at the front, his group of friends was ready for the festivities of apple bobbing.

A large shuno that spotted white scales and a spooky markings followed behind and was excited as a much smaller black styraco traveled beside him, it was Prometheus and Babadook and they had been convinced by Banshee to come and apple bob with him and the two seemed excited as they all walked up to the hole and got themselves ready.

“Are you guys ready for apple bobbing, I found some of the fruit from the old farms there was a lot but I think I grabbed enough” Banshee said as he rushed to the whole and stuck his head under the water planting himself so he wouldn’t fall in before pulling out a apple in his beak and shaking off the water letting out a small laugh “This is fun come in and join!” he said looking back at Prometheus and Babadook who eagerly joined in with the large shuno going for a pumpkin and pulling it out with water dripping down his neck as he placed it on the ground and smiled before watching Babadook sit on the edge and try her luck with a apple making sure not to get her feathers soaked.

“This is so fun Banshee. How did you find out about this, plus the fruit is really good!” Babadook said as she leaned in to grab more before watching Prometheus tower over them as he dripped water from a pumpkin that he was holding in his mouth that he had bobbed for while the two talked. The group continued to bob in the whole that Banshee had made with all the fruit to share amongst the spooky time of the season, with lots of laughs and friends but you can't forget the apples that's the best part!
