"Hee hee!"

"Let's do it, now!"

"No, you're so stupid! We've got to wait!"

The three of them were arguing. Barrel and Lock wanted to do it too soon. At least Shock thought so. They wanted to bring Boogey a surprise.

Lock, Shock, and Barrel sat crouched behind a fence, staring at the four vampires.

"Think he'll like them?" Lock asked.

"To use for fun? Sure." Shock agreed.

Barrel removed his mask to see better.

Their plan included at least one of the vampires to give to Mr. Oogey Boogey. They were going to lure them out into the light to paralyze them and trap them.

"Look, look!" Barrel said, pointing. Sure enough, on the horizon was the sun, only a sliver of its pumpkin face still left receding.

Shock giggled in excitement and Lock clapped his hands giddily.

Barrel put his mask back on and pulled a bottle out of their beloved bath tub. Inside was a thick red liquid: blood. He fingered it happily and peered through the metal fence. As they thought, the vampires were at their house windows, looking tired from a day of sleep.

"After a long day, I'm sure the vampires are thirsty!" Shock laughed.

"Enough to take something from us!" Lock said, stretching. "Lets go now!"

"Alright, alright." Shock hopped into the bath tub, Lock and Barrel following suit. It wiggled its legs before crawling over to the vampiric house.

Lock reached up and rang the haunting doorbell.

"Come back in ten minutes!" Came a reply from behind the door. "Eet iz too early."

The three of them glared at the door.

"We've got a present for you, Mr. Vampire! Some blood to drink!" Shock took the bottle from Barrel's hands and banged her fist against the wood again. "But we'll only give it to you if you come out now!"

They heard a low drone of mumbling voices.

"Alright, but you must not hurt eem." The door opened and one of the vampires stumbled out after having been pushed. "Hey-" His voice was cut off as he tripped and landed in Lock, Shock and Barrel's tub.

"Thank you!"

The tub started walking away with a startlingly paralyzed vampire and three trick-or-treaters.

Mr. Boogey would be pleased.

"W-Wait! Do not leave wiz eem!" The other vampires were stopped at the door, knowing it was useless to leave.

"You didn't even give us zee blood!"


Written by Akari. :3 I'm a pretty big fan of TNBC. I just got the movie for Christmas, so I thought I'd write about my three favorites. XD Barrel's the coolest, but Shock is cool too. Lock is okay. If you didn't know, Lock is the demon boy, Shock is the witch girl, and Barrel is the skeleton kid. I hope it's in character. I tried based on the movie. It seemed to me that Shock was the leader of the three.
