Author's note: So, I guess it didn't take ten years. I'm actually very happy about this. Mainly because I have several unfinished CATCF fics and am taking the time away from that to work on this. Be grateful.

So, in this chapter, Halloween comes early! Yes, that's right, the unused characters are trick-or-treating. It was such a good idea that it couldn't wait until October. So enjoy.


"I can't see out of the eyeholes on this manatee costume!"

"Where's my lasso? I can't be a cowboy without a lasso!"

"This ballerina tutu is too tight!"

Trick-or-treating began at 6:00. It was 5:58 and all those unusd characters were going crazy. Terence Roper was a manatee, Augustus Pottle was a cowboy, Elvira Entwhistle was a ballerina, Violet Strabismus was a vampire bat complete with bloody fangs (which Violet had refused to leave the house without) Bertie Upside was a boat, Miranda Grope was a ladybug, Miranda Piker was a bumblebee (they were going together) Clarence Crump was a zombie, Marvin Prune was a baby, Wilbur Rice was an Incredibly Deadly Viper, and Tommy Troutbeck was a Tom Nook.

By 6:02, the chaos had started. Terence Roper kept tripping over his manatee costume, Augustus Pottle kept catching his lasso on things, Elvira Entwhistle kept complaining that her tutu was too tight, Violet Strabismus kept whining about the bad choice of candy (Halloween is a holiday enjoyed by children for generations, but some children cannot help wishing that those houses bearing chips or pretzels had simply chosen candy instead) Bertie Upside's boat kept capsizing, Miranda Grope didn't like the way her head bobbles had been put on, Miranda Piker didn't approve of the size of her candy bag, Clarence Crump's zombie makeup was melting onto his costume, Marvin Prune was cold (he had accidentally omitted a shirt from his costume) Wilbur Rice was mad that nobody knew what he was, and Tommy Troutbeck was outraged that nobody bought his goods, and the narrarator was crabby from listening to all these complaints.

"Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" cried Miranda Grope.

A lady gave everybody a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Some of the unused characters thanked her and left, but others complained.

"I like chocolate and peanut butter but not together." said Elvira Entwhistle.

"I'm allergic to peanut butter!" shouted Clarence Crump. "I want a rain check!"

"Do you even know what a rain check is?" asked Terence Roper.

At the next house, a teenager dressed as a vampire held out a bowl. Trick-or-treaters could choose between M&M's Skittles, or Starbursts.

Marvin Prune, Miranda Grope, Wilbur Rice, and Augustus Pottle took M&M's, Tommy Troutbeck, Violet Strabismus, Terence Roper, and Miranda Mary Piker chose Skittles, and everybody else chose Starbursts. The teenager was thanked, and the children left.

The next house gave out trail mix. Miranda Mary Piker gave hers back in disgust.

"You call this candy?" Miranda asked rudely.

About an hour later, the children were in good shape. Their candy ranged from Snickers and Milky Ways to Charleston Chews and Mallo Cups.

"Let's take a break." suggested Violet Strabismus, stopping to eat a Twix bar. "We've been at this for hours and I really think we should eat some candy so we won't have too much to carry later."

In the end, 5 children wanted to take a break and 6 wanted to continue. They chose to split up and meet up again at 8.

I have chosen to allow the children to do the rest of their trick-or-treating in privacy.

At 8, the kids met at the town hall and walked to Miranda Piker's house. There they traded candy. Miranda Grope started it by trading a Hershey bar for Bertie Upside's Almond Joy.

By 9 the children had bags filled with candy they liked (and some they didn't like, to give to their parents) and were very, very happy. They vowed to do it again next year.


A/N: So, what did you think? I personally think this is my best work, but I won't force you to.

Anyway, if there is anything you're just dying to see the unused characters do, you can tell me and I will write it. Or at least try.

I don't want to keep you any longer, so please review. Chapter 3 will be posted when I have 5.
