Halloween☆
The Witch's Happy Halloween?, also called Halloween☆ (ハロウィン☆), is the first Cookie☆ voice drama directed by “Maki” (満月) that would be published on October 31, 2013.1) Be warned that this particular voice drama is about 40 minutes long, with no MMD adaptation.
Summary
The story begins with Marisa in a lion costume expecting Setsubun bean-throwing, but Reimu corrects her and explains Halloween. From there, they put on their costumes2) and go trick-or-treating. Aya takes a picture and tags along towards Alice's house. Alice toys with Marisa, brings out a chocolate cake she planned to eat with Marisa tomorrow, then tags along out of curiosity as they head to Koumakan next.
At Koumakan, they pass a sleeping Meiling, and find Sakuya having Remilia wear a revealing outfit. Remilia offers tea and sweets, if they do a quiz. They mingle for a bit, then head to the Netherworld and find Youmu. Komachi shows up too, then Eiki comes to scold Komachi. Eventually, Youmu brings Reimu, Marisa, and Aya to Hakugyokurou, but find out that Yuyuko ate all the sweets that Youmu bought.
In the end, Reimu and Marisa head back to the Hakurei Shrine, and have a small chat before they celebrate. The following morning, it turns out that Aya decided to write about Reimu and Marisa's little rendezvous instead, which ended up causing trouble due to the implication that the story reached Alice and Patchouli, and the two were immediately enroute to the Hakurei Shrine with 'some questions' about this rendezvous.

Reception
It's known that Maki was a Cookie☆ fan who was inspired by Taisa's voice dramas and decided to make their own, but it was accidentally discovered by Cookie☆ fans prying into Cookie☆☆ S3's development. While it wasn't related to Taisa's Cookie☆☆ series, some people noticed that Rei and Yuwo were cast in both projects and Halloween☆ was being hyped up to be the next big Cookie☆ series.
However, the voice drama flopped upon release since it's way too long and this impacted how Cookie☆ fans generally viewed Maki's future works. It still hasn't received its own MMD version either because while the story is structured similar to Cookie☆☆ S1, it's actually much more complex if you check the script, so there's no help from the MMD department either. Additionally, the voice drama lacked Taisa's charm.
