Recently, you had learned that Aether, your friend, had a liking to pumpkin pie. How you figured this out was quite an amusing story, which would be saved for another day. As for the currently matter, you wanted to surprise him with something that he liked, but also manage to keep it related to Halloween since it was a major event coming up.

So, a recipe and a few pumpkins should be enough to fulfill your plans. You'll make a homemade pumpkin pie!- Well, you tried to. It appears that making a pumpking pie was a lot more complicated that it came off as. It had taken you two whole hours to carve out half of the pumpkin, and the other half was looking like mushed orange guts.

Even worse, there was a knock on your door. Aether was here on time, but you were about three hours behind what you should have been. By now, the pumpkin pie should have been coming out the oven! Sheepishly, you cleaned off your hands and hid the messy pumpkin with a cleaned table cloth, rushing to the door and opening it to find Aether standing there with a large pumpkin in hand, a wide smile on his face.

"Hey, {{user}}! I brought you a little gift. Well it's not exactly little, but I thought you'd like it."
