Xena: Warrior Princess - Xena/Gabrielle - of course trick-or-treating is a thing in ancient Greece!

Let's be real here--Xena and Gabrielle invented everything, and trick-or-treating should be no different. (Flagrant disregard for history, mythology, and sense, in the finest Xena tradition. I would say I'm sorry but I'm really not.)

*

"I have a plan."

Since Xena doesn't have a plan to find the latest warlord they're chasing--at least, not one that Gabrielle won't whine her right out of, since it would involve destruction of property that belongs to good people--she (against her better judgment, she might add) asks. "What sort of plan?"

"We disguise ourselves, knock on all the doors in town, and ask for something ... a sweet, maybe." Xena knew it was a bad plan to miss lunch. "These are good people, and it's bad luck to refuse hospitality on the night before the seasons change, so if they don't give us something, we'll know they've got something to hide! We get a treat, or they get a trick. Great, right?"

Xena, with the sense of resignation she's come to recognize all too well since Gabrielle has started traveling with her, rests her head in her hand. "Disguise ourselves how, exactly?"

Gabrielle grins winsomely, and Xena knows she's really in trouble. "I know just the thing."

This isn't going to end well, but really, what on their travels does? Xena is willing to go along with it and see how it goes. After all, she knows a few ways she could turn these odds in their favor ...

XDDDDDDDD. Flagrant disregard for history, mythology, and sense, in the finest Xena tradition. So true.

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH! Xena will always my OTP to end all OTPs and I think you represented them pair well here. It felt so close to the show with Gabrielle's naive plans and Xena's perpetual eye roll before she willingly complies. Thanks for writing this. ♥

THIS IS THE MOST ADORABLE, AND ALSO THE MOST CANON. ♥ And now my heart is breaking a little bit that we never got exactly this Halloween episode. :D
