"Sora, will you hurry up?"
"Shut up Riku, I'm going as fast as I can!"
Riku sighed. Halloween was finally here and Sora couldn't even walk five steps without having to take a break? He knew that Sora was only 8, but Riku was only a year older and he wasn't exhausted at all. At this rate, they would only hit another 5 houses before they had to go home.
"We've only been out here for half an hour, how are you already so tired?" Riku asked.
"Hey, it's not my fault you wanted to go the route with all the far apart houses!" Sora protested.
"They had all the best candy though, so we had to get them before they ran out, right?"
"They had tons of it! We could have just come later."
"Whatever. You'll understand when you're older."
Sora pouted. "That's not fair! You always say that. You just can't admit that you're wrong."
"If we came later, all the good stuff would've been gone." Riku said, clearly fed up with Sora's childish complaining. "Sure there would be candy, but nothing good."
Sora thought about it for a minute. "I guess you're right," he mumbled. Riku was actually right most of the time, but he wasn't going to admit it. Riku bragged too much when he did.
After another minute, they reached the next house.
"Trick or treat!" they both chorused. The woman who came to the door held out a bowl of candy.
"You can take three, dears!" she said.
"Thanks," they said as they reached into the bowl. Riku chose his three quickly and carefully, while Sora just grabbed the first ones he could get his hands on. They started to walk away, and the woman closed the door.
Sora looked down at his hands and moaned loudly. "Ugh, I hate Butterfingers," he complained.
Riku shook his head. "Maybe you should've looked at what you had before you took it," he said.
Sora broke out in a grin. "It doesn't matter what I have, I know I can just get you to trade with me after."
Riku rolled his eyes. "Not if I eat everything you want first," he said.
Sora stopped and stomped his foot. "You wouldn't dare!" he whined. "And you have to let our parents check the candy before we eat it, anyway. I'll just steal what I want from you then."
Riku laughed. "Calm down, I was just kidding. Of course I'll trade with you. Unlike you, most normal kids actually like Butterfingers."
"Are you saying I'm not normal?!" Sora loudly protested.
"Hey, you do realize that the more time you spend arguing with me, the less time we spend getting candy, right?" Riku said.
"Don't act like I was the only one arguing. You were the one being mean," Sora muttered.
Riku laughed again.
