DISCLAIMER: Screw it, I'm gonna be K.A. Applegate for Halloween. Then I'm gonna get a bunch of 1st graders and make them my little Animorphs and I can own THEM!! MUAHAHAHAHAA!!**realizes she sounds like a psychopath and she just scared away several readers**

NOTE: Just a litle piece of nonsense I wrote in the holiday spirit. I will add chapters until Halloween Day. Hehe.

Ax -

"I want to do it. Tuh." I repeated for the 15th time. I picked up a particularly grotesque rubber face and showed it to Tobias. "Is this horrid creature scary enough? Nuff-uh?"

Tobias laughed. "No Ax, not many people think George Dubya's face is particularly frightening."

"Oh, hey, but check this out." Rachel held up a mask of a monkey. We held the two faces side by side.

"Oh wow, that's creepy." Tobias observed.

"Yes, the resemblance is uncanny." I commented.

"Can I help you kids?" a voice spoke up behind us. We whirled around, due to the fact that humans only have two eyes facing forward and have little motility. The small, pale store-owner stood behind us, wiping his large corrective lenses on his smoke-gray shirt.

"Nah, just browsing." Rachel said. The man, who's nametag read "Clark" nodded and returned to his position behind the cash register. "That guy is creepy. Wonder if they got a mask of his face?"

Two days earlier I had been watching television when I began to notice that many of the movies and shows all recently had supernatural themes. They all had "ghosts, goblins, witches, and vampires", which were all various types of frightening beings made to scare small children. Then I came upon across the word "Halloween".

"Tobias, what is Halloween?" I had asked.

Tobias proceeded to explain that it was an old tradition that began initially to ward of evil spirits with masks, but evolved into children dressing as something other than themselves for fun. As usual, I found this quite strange and backward. But then Tobias mentioned something else.

Kids dress up in costumes and go to peoples houses to get free candy.

It was then I knew that I wanted to partake in this important human cultural event.

Now Tobias, who had invited Rachel, and I were searching through Party City for a costume for me to wear. I rummaged through several disguises, but all were turned down by Tobias and Rachel.

"How about this one?" I held up bright and attractive garment that shone like the sun. It came with some sort of equally shiny weapon which I assumed had something to do with controlling the heavens or rearranging the solar system, since it had a star on the tip.

"Um, Ax, you probably shouldn't waltz around in a fairy princess get-up." Rachel took the garment from me and set it back on the shelf. When I inquired why, she just made a half-snort, half-laugh noise.

"Oh, Skrit Na!" I exclaimed, pulling down a mask that looked startingly like the Na phase of a race of intergalactic bandits.

"You mean, those things are real aliens?" Tobias asked.

"Of course. And you humans know about them? I thought you were less informed." I looked at the tag. It read "Alien Adult".

"Well, a bunch of psychos claimed to be abducted by aliens, and that's what they described them as." Rachel said.

"Skrit Na have been known to visit planets and take various technologies, as well as specimens of life forms. They conduct odd experiments on the specimens for no known purpose, then return them, it's memory fully intact. Mostly." I explained.

Tobias and Rachel looked at each other then stared at me.

"You learn something knew everyday." Tobias said.

"Jeez. I guess I have to believe all though Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monster stuff now too, huh?" Rachel took the mask from me and set it back. "An alien dressing as an alien? Come on now."

"Hey look." Tobias called from the other side of the aisle. I followed his voice and was greeted by a whole aisle of colorful costumes. All of food.

"Oh man." Rachel's jaw dropped.

"Intriguing. . ." I stooped over a red M&M costume.

"Ice cream cone? Dressing up as an ice cream cone? You've got to be kidding me." Tobias said in awe.

"Oh hey, a cheeseburger costume."

"Is that a hot dog costume?"

"A Mac N Cheez suit? Whoa."

"Tobias! Rachel! I have found my costume!" I called. There it was, lying on top of a cupcake suit. Complete with brown "tights" and light brown textures. Coiled into the perfect sugary confection.

A cinnamon bun costume.

"No way. . ."

Rachel picked up the bag, checked the size, and looked me over. "Yeah, this will definitely fit you."

"We're getting him a cinnabon costume?" Tobias demanded.

"Why not?"

"It's scented. Who's gonna stop him from eating himself?"

"I assure you both, I will not be consuming any of myself, thank you." I huffed.

Rachel shrugged. "Well Tobias, it's either this, the belly dancing outfit, or Bill Clinton."

"The cinnamon bun suits me." I repeated.

Tobias rolled his eyes. "Okay, cinnamon bun it is."

I gathered my new costume up in my arms. Then Rachel took Tobias's arm. "Come on, it's our turn now."

"You're kidding. We're teenagers!" Tobias tried to pull away.

"So is Ax."

"That's different. He's never done this before."

Rachel put her hands on her hips. "Have you?" she demanded.

"I - well, I've seen it - " Tobias turned red.

"Well, you're going to do it now."

"Rach - "

Rachel dragged Tobias by his arm. He shot me a pleading look, but 10 minutes later Rachel had found a vampire costume for Tobias. He whined.

"Oh quit being a baby."

"You're the one forcing me to go trick or treating."

"Tobias, no one should go without trick-or-treating at least once."

Tobias crossed his arms. "Well what about you?"

Rachel shrugged. "Didn't see anything I liked."

I had wandered a few feet away and came across a brown garment, clearly for a female. It came with some sort of round throwing weapon. "Xena."

Tobias looked at me, the costume, then back at Rachel. She crossed her arms indignantly.

"No."

"Come on."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Marco will find it wayy too easy."

"So?"

"No."

"Rachel, please. I'm trick-or-treating tomorrow to make you stop nagging. You might as well make it a compromise."

Rachel snorted. "I don't nag." Then she looked at the leather skirt. "Fine, but we are steering clear of Jake and Marco's neighborhood. Heck, even Cassie's neighborhood will be off limits."

"Deal."

And our Halloween preparations were complete.

- - - How was it? Good? Bad? Offensive? So crappy that I should be thrown into a trashcan and launched to Mars for even THINKING I should post it? Please tell me. Review! The last chapter will be posted on Hallowen (October 31) and if anyone knows about another Animorph Halloween story, could you please tell me about it so I can read it and make sure I don't re-do anything?
