    For Halloween, 15-year-old Mary decided to dress like a witch. She had always been fascinated by witches and their magical powers. This year, she was determined to be the best witch in town.

    Mary's witch costume was impressive. With her pointy hat, flowing black gown, and a broomstick, she looked like a real witch. Her makeup was dark and mysterious, adding to her witchy appearance.

    Her boyfriend, Jake, decided to join her dressed as a vampire. Although a bit scared of his appearance, Mary appreciated his effort to make the night more exciting.

    The couple was excited to attend the Halloween party at their high school. As they walked in, their friends couldn't help but admire their well-thought-out costumes.

    They enjoyed the party, dancing to the spooky music, and sharing laughs with their friends. Mary, with her witchy cackle, added extra Halloween vibes to the party.

    Jake, always the prankster, had come up with a plan to scare Mary. He knew about her fascination with witches and their vulnerability to water.

    He quietly filled a glass with water and approached Mary, who was fully engrossed in her witch character. With a sly grin, he splashed the water onto Mary.

    Mary, taken by surprise, gasped and screamed. For a moment, she truly believed she was going to melt like the witches she had read about in her favorite fairy tales.

    She stumbled back, her heart pounding with fear. The party-goers around them laughed, but Mary felt a real pang of dread. Her eyes darted to Jake, who was laughing too.

    Realizing it was all a prank, Mary's fear slowly subsided. She couldn't help but laugh at herself for believing, even for a second, that she was a real witch.

    Jake came over, still chuckling, and apologized for scaring her. He tried to explain that it was all in good fun, but Mary was still a bit shaken.

    Mary assured Jake that she was fine and that she understood it was a joke. However, she couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed about her reaction.

    To lighten the mood, Jake suggested they join the others in a game of bobbing for apples. Mary agreed, hoping it would distract her from the melting incident.

    As the night went on, Mary forgot about the prank. She was having too much fun with Jake and their friends. The Halloween party turned out to be a great success.

    As they walked home, Mary teased Jake about his prank. They both laughed, realizing it had added an extra thrill to their Halloween night.

    Despite the prank, Mary admitted that she had a great time. She even promised to get Jake back next Halloween with a prank of her own.

    Jake, a bit worried but also excited, accepted the challenge. He was looking forward to next Halloween already.

    As they reached Mary's house, they said their goodbyes. Mary thanked Jake for the memorable Halloween night, despite the melting scare.

    Jake, grinning, promised her many more memorable Halloween nights. He left, leaving Mary with a smile on her face and a heart full of wonderful memories.

    As Mary entered her house, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was still in her witch costume, now a bit wet, but she was smiling.

    She realized that Halloween was not just about the costumes or the candy. It was about the fun, the laughter, and the memories created with loved ones.

    As she changed out of her costume, she couldn't help but giggle at the thought of melting. The whole incident seemed silly now.

    Mary went to bed that night with a heart full of happiness. She couldn't wait for next Halloween, not for the costumes or the candy, but for the fun and memories.

    And as for Jake, she couldn't wait to get him back with a prank of her own. With a mischievous smile, she fell asleep, dreaming of the next Halloween.

    The Halloween night had left a lasting impression on Mary. It was a night of fun, laughter, a little scare, and a lot of love.

    It was the night when she was a witch, she was about to melt, and she was saved by her laughter. It was a Halloween night she would never forget.

    And so, the story of Mary the witch who almost melted on Halloween night became a popular tale among her friends. It was a story they would tell for years to come.

    And every time they told the story, they couldn't help but laugh. The memory of that night brought joy to everyone who heard it.
