Art/Story explaining why:
She was once a sandy-brown colored viscet. She was always bullied/picked on at school because she didn't have a colorful coat like the others. She was the least popular at her school. However, this all changed on the day of Halloween...
It started when she was getting ready for Halloween. It was a dark day that day, but it was absolutely buzzing with energy. Tons and tons of Viscets were trick-or-treating. She put on his costume (which was a Monarch butterfly) and went off trick-or-treating. She rang doorbell after doorbell, and got lots of candy and chocolate. Because of her coat, she had no friends, so no one told her of the (rumored) haunted house in the next block. She didn't seem to realize that other Viscet's were avoiding that house and went to it. The house was an old log house with white mist surrounding it. Thinking the mist was just a Halloween prank, she rang the doorbell. She waited and waited, but no one came to the door, either to shoo her away or give her candy. She started to wonder what's going on and pushed on the door. The door went open. Being a curious type, she wondered into the house, looking for residents. But it seemed like no one was there...
She stumbled around in the dark house, and tripped over something hard. Trying to steady herself, she reached for something to steady her. She grabbed onto a torch-like them and pushed it down while trying to balance herself. The floor underneath her gave away and she fell down. After what seemed forever, she finally landed on... pumpkins? She slowly got up, checking herself that she wasn't hurt before looking around. She seemed to have fallen down into some sort of pumpkin grove... Weird.As she hopped down onto the floor, she heard a click. She has activated another switch. This time, a boiling vat of liquid poured down onto her and the pumpkin. She was trapped inside the liquid. She tried going this way and that, but she seemed to be going forever. Then she saw the floor. She was going the wrong way! She turned around, and swam up. She finally broke to the surface and looked around. She saw that there was a door behind the pumpkin grove and swam towards there. Once she got there, she opened the door, which led to the backyard and ran out, running back home. She ran so fast that she was panting by the time she got home. She went in, closed the door, and fell asleep on the couch...
The next day, she felt very weird. Her pelt was itching madly. She went into the bathroom to take a shower. Maybe the liquid left something in her pelt, so she decided to try washing herself. As she passed the mirror, she saw a flash of orange and black. She stopped in her tracks and backtracked. She looked very carefully at the mirror, then rubbed her eyes. Maybe she was imagining things. She looked at her reflection again. Nope, she wasn't imagining things. Her pelt had transformed into a orange with black marks. She stared a while before a thought hit her. If she now had a colorful coat, that means she'll get.. friends!! The next day at school, everyone was transfixed on her pelt. Viscets stopped bullying her now, and she actually had friends. She was quite popular at school for a while. The other Viscets asked her a lot of questions, but the one she never was able to get past was "How did this happen?" She never knew what happened. All she knew was that on that fateful Halloween night, the liquid had changed her, both inside and outside, and she owes it all to that one Halloween.
