(A.N. Yep, more plot bunnies! I really need to clear out my head of all these (somewhat pesky) bunnies... Yes, I should be updating Ghosties or The Christmas Truces, but the bunnies were calling my name and I can't resist little fluffy cute things... owo)
Based on one of the recent entries on the Tumblr ask blog: The Gakuen Ghost (for Ghost!England). This version of Artie belongs to the admin, the Gakuen Hetalia Academy is owned by Hidekaz Himuyara, the songs Danse Macabre is by Saint-Saens, Blue is by The Birthday Massacre, O Death is by Jen Titus (the version that was in Supernatural), and the Cell Block Tango was in the musical Chicago. I only own the plot. Well, you know the drill...

It was the only thing that really made being dead enjoyable, Arthur thought as he glided through the hallways of Hetalia Academy towards the music in the gym. The school's annual Halloween party was in full swing with its usual songlist-by-request DJ Carlos Machado (Cuba). Roderich must have requested the song playing now, the Danse Macabre, because it didn't have any words and was clearly classical. Somehow, the song fit the occasion well, but nobody really knew how to waltz, so they just talked until the song was over or someone else requested a different one. Ever since becoming a ghost, Arthur had developed his flair for the dramatics by popping out of blackboards in the middle of class, making the chandelier in the auditorium swing, and once, playing with the PA system to make the speakers throughout the school emit a high-pitched sound that only the children could hear. Tonight's prank was going to top everything he had done before!

Arthur coiled the rope he was holding to attract the least amount of attention as possible before floating up close to the ceiling and across to one of the beams that criss-crossed across, holding the floor above up. He watched as Francis spiked the "blood" punch with vodka stolen from Ivan; while Gilbert smirked, walked over to Carlos, and within seconds Blue was blasting from the speakers; making Antonio and Lovino jump from behind one, still holding each other closely. Arthur made a note to himself to approach Gilbert later and try to prank the school together. As Blue finished and O Death began, Arthur made his move.

Knowing that the song wasn't very long, he quickly tied one end of his long rope onto the ceiling beam he was currently sitting on and the other side became a makeshift noose. Arthur summoned up his energy to become both visible and solid for a while, pulled the noose over his head, and jumped off the beam.

What a sight it was to the party-goers below. Everything had been normal for most of the dance, apart from a very drunk Feliciano trying to confess his love to an equally drunk Ludwig. Until a figure suddenly swung from out of nowhere, finally coming to a stop at the end of the song. It was a young boy, very pale and with dark circles under his eyes, hanging by his neck from one of the ceiling beams and starting to rotate in a circle above them as the click-click of the Cell Block Tango began.

The screams were like music to Arthur's ears...

(A.N. The Gakuen Ghost is an ask blog with epic artwork and you should totally go follow the admin on Tumblr. Seriously, they've got, like, a ninjutsu for drawing or something. \*O*/ I'm going to put up at least one Halloween-themed oneshot per week this month! Happy Halloween, everyone!)
