Time Fixers: Nicktoons of the Future

Halloween Special: Tales from the Scare Zone

Plot:In this Halloween special, three horrifying tales are told. SpongeTron creates a replica of Jimmy Neutron after accidentally killing the real one, Darry takes a Halloween prank too far and unleashes a werewolf on his friends, and Tammy and Tommy befriend a new neighbor kid who may be a vampire. Join Crash and Twitchy as they take you on a journey to what they call…the Scare Zone.

In Amity Park, a fresh autumn breeze was blowing and many of the brown and orange-colored leaves flew through the air before scattering on the ground. But throughout the town, there were also many jack-o-lanterns and Halloween decorations, which could only mean it was a certain holiday.

"Ah, All Hallows Eve." Crash said darkly as he walked through the town with a grim look on his face, "The time when ghouls and zombies come to our world and terrify the livin'. But lest we not forget that thanks to us folks dressin' up in scary costumes, we scare those varmints back into their graves. This next tale shows us-"

"CRASH!" a loud voice called out and the sponge turned to see Twitchy zoom over to him with a sticky face and a bag full of candy. "Igotsomecandy! Didyougetsomecandy? Igotsomecandy!"

But Crash whispered to him, "What are y'all doin? We're supposed to be serious here while we tell scary tales."

"Scarytales,scarytales,right!" Twitchy rapidly said as he jumped up and down. "ButIloveHalloween! Ilovethecandy,Ilovescary,Ilovethecandy!"

But Twitchy sped off again, presumably to get more candy, leaving his brother alone. Crash sighed in annoyance before following Twitchy to catch the sugar-crazed squirrel.

I Was a Teenage Ghost Wolf

Down the street where Fenton Works was located, inside the house was a strangely dark living room where the only light was coming from the TV. On the couch was Darry sitting cross-legged with a blanket over him as he stared at the screen with an anxious look. On the other end of the couch was Yuki who was reading a large book while aiming a flashlight at it so she could see.

On the television showed a young man and a woman in a dark forest. "Oh, Rick, I never would've guessed you would take me out here."

The man on the TV responded, "I thought you would like it, Barbara, especially on a night like tonight."

The woman smiled longingly. "Oh, Rick, you're so romantic."

"Get out of there, Barb." Darry muttered to the screen. "Can't you tell what's gonna happen?"

Yuki was still reading her book, showing no interest in the movie whatsoever. Next to her on the table was a glass case holding a small purple flower in a small glass vase.

Barbara pointed up ahead to an open area with a cliff side. "Look! We can probably see the town from there!" as she ran to the area up in the dark sky, the clouds began to move.

"Pss," Darry whispered. "Yuki…if you don't pay attention, you're gonna miss the big scene."

"I've seen this movie six times, Darry." Yuki responded, not taking her eyes off her book. "And if you ask me, it's pretty unrealistic compared to real werewolves."

"There's real werewolves?" Darry questioned until he stared back at the screen in interest.

"Barbara," Rick began saying as he looked up at the sky. "There's something I must tell you. I am not what you think I am."

"What do you mean, Rick?" Barbara asked in confusion.

But then the clouds move away, revealing the full moon shining down on the two, but Rick began to sweat and spoke in a growling voice, "You are going to be my prey!"

Barbara screamed as Rick grew larger with gray fur, sharp fangs and claws, and yellow eyes. Darry brought the blanket close to his face as the movie shows the now transformed Rick give a loud piercing howl to the sky.

But the scary moment was ruined when the living room lights turn on. "Why are you both sitting in the dark?" Danny asked with his finger on the light switch.

"Dad, you just missed it!" Darry shouted in excitement. "Rick just revealed to Barbara he's a werewolf! And now he's about to maul Barbara unless Peter can stop him!"

"Who is mauling what?" Danny asked in confusion.

"He's just watching some old werewolf movie." Yuki explained as she closed her book. "But like I said, any werewolf would be more realistic than this."

"You sure you're not just scared?" Darry teased.

"As if." Yuki brushed aside. "I wasn't the one cowering on the floor during the part with Rick eating the mayor when I first saw this."

"Hey, I was choking on the popcorn!"

"Come on, you two." Danny urged as he approached them. "I'm surprised you're not getting ready for tonight. It is Halloween, you know."

"Heck yeah!" Darry shouted in excitement as he jumped up and down on the couch. "This is gonna be so gnarly! I already got a wicked costume and I'm gonna get so much candy this year thanks to my plan of other-worldly trick-or-treating!" he did a flip off the couch. "I'm gonna trick-or-treat all over Amity Park, then I'm gonna go trick-or-treat with Tammy and Tommy in Dimmsdale, then I'm gonna trick-or-treat with SpongeTron in Bikini Bottom, and then we'll go to Retroville and trick-or-treat with-"

"Darry!" Yuki interrupted. "Aren't you a little too old to still be trick-or-treating?"

"Too old?" Darry asked, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"She does have a point, Dar." Danny mentioned. "You are fourteen. I think it's time you stop dressing up in costumes and going out to trick-or-treat."

"What?!" Darry asked in shock. "Pass up the opportunity to go out and get free candy? Are you crazy?"

"No, Dad is right." Yuki added. "Halloween is a time for tricks, as in scaring people for the fun of it- which you couldn't do even if you tried." Darry glared at this remark while Yuki cheerfully added, "But Halloween is also a time for treats and since I'm a few years away from being too old, that means I can go other-worldly trick-or-treating."

When Yuki runs off in excitement, leaving Darry to pout, Danny tries to cheer him up by saying, "It's okay, Darry. If you'd like, you can help pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters tonight."

As soon as he walks away, Darry glances at the TV and sees the werewolf character snarling at the woman as she lies helplessly on the ground, cowering in fear. Seeing this gives Darry an idea as he slyly smiles. "So she wants scary tricks huh? Well, we'll see who the scared one is tonight."

Outside the living room window, Crash and Twitchy (who shook uncontrollably from his bender with his arms stuck in the sleeves of his jacket which were tied together like a straightjacket) were looking in on Darry as they both turn around.

Twitchy with a twitchy right eye says, "A harmless Halloween prank…on a harmless Halloween night."

"Will a mischievous ghost boy prove himself worthy of gorgin' on sweet Halloween candy or will it all lead to disastrous consequences?" Crash asked while Twitchy licked his lips at the mention of candy. "Join us for our next tale as we enter into…The Scare Zone."

"Hey guys." Yuki greeted after coming out of her house. "Whatcha doing?"

"Oh, just narratin' all the horrible stuff that's gonna happen later on." Crash simply explained.

Yuki got a baffled look after hearing this. "Okay…" but quickly shook it off. "Anyway, I'm gonna go buy a costume for tonight. Wanna come help me pick one out?"

Twitchy quickly shook his head no while Crash got a huge grin and answered, "Let's go!"

He grabbed the restrained Twitchy by the tail and dragged him across the sidewalk while walking besides Yuki. "But ya hate shoppin'!" Twitchy yelled. "I want more candy!"

At Nicktoons HQ, Darry was laying on the couch in the living room as he explained to SpongeTron the whole thing that happened at home. "And then she made Dad think I was too old to trick-or-treat. Can you believe it? Too old to spend one day of the year getting pounds of free candy?"

"I know what you mean." SpongeTron replied, but didn't really seem to be paying attention. "Oh, you look so cute!"

Darry was confused until he sat up and saw SpongeTron hoist Max up in the air to show him the baby wearing a white lab coat, little black boots, and black gloves. "What do you think of the costume Cindy made for Max?" SpongeTron asked. "He's going his first Halloween dressed as a scientist, just like his daddy."

"It's nice, I guess." Darry said, unsure of what to say. "But I came up with this great plan to get back at Yuki. I'm gonna scare her."

But SpongeTron seemed confused by this while he held Max. "How is scaring her gonna allow you to trick-or-treat?"

"I'm gonna scare her with a Halloween prank, and once she's screaming and crying about how scared she is, it'll show just who the trick and the treater is. Of course, I'll be getting candy as well."

"I don't know, Darry. Doesn't that seem kinda mean-spirited?"

"Of course not, ST. It's Halloween after all, the only time of the year when scaring people is fun and allowed."

While Max giggled at this, SpongeTron held him close. "Don't worry, Max. You won't pick up on bad holiday traditions. You'll still go trick-or-treating with Mommy tonight."

Darry crossed his arms and pouted, "Oh sure, I can't go get free candy, but the one who doesn't even have any teeth can."

"What kind of prank are you gonna pull on Yuki anyway?" SpongeTron curiously asked.

"I got the idea from this werewolf movie I saw. I'm gonna make Yuki think she saw a werewolf and that'll scare her."

"But where are you gonna get a were…wolf?"

Darry smiled and pointed at SpongeTron, replying, "That's why you're gonna help me."

SpongeTron's eyes widen as he questions, "Me?"

"And Tommy and Tammy." Darry mentioned as he took out his Recaller and dialed it. "Hey Tommy, it's Darry. Listen I got a great Halloween prank to pull and I need you and Tammy to help with it."

"Halloween prank?" Tommy said in excitement in his bedroom while dressed in a pimp costume. "Ooh sorry, we kinda got plans tonight."

"Plans?" Darry's voice said over the Recaller. "What plans?"

"Oh Tommy!" Tammy shouted while dressed as a fairy princess. "What do you think of my costume for when we go trick-or-treating?"

"WHAT?!" Darry yelled over the Recaller, which Tommy held out in dismay.

"You mean you guys are going trick-or-treating and you didn't invite me?" Darry asked in anger.

"Well, we were gonna invite you." Tommy's voice explained from the Recaller. "But then Tammy thought you might not be interested since you're fourteen and you're kinda too old to be trick-or-treating. So we just decided to go ahead without you."

Darry got a dumbfounded look while Tommy added, "Gotta go now. We're gonna go other-worldly trick-or-treating with Yuki."

After he hung up, Darry threw the Recaller on the floor in anger as he crossed his arms and pouted some more. "Don't feel bad, Darry." SpongeTron tried to comfort. "There are a lot of things you have to give up as you get older."

"Well, I'm still not going down without a fight." Darry said as he stood up. "You're still gonna help me with my prank."

"Oh…do I have to?" SpongeTron asked as Max blew a raspberry.

Later that evening, Danny was walking upstairs with a bowl of candy until he stopped in front of Darry's bedroom. He knocked on the door and called out, "Darry? Are you sure you don't wanna help pass out candy?"

"No thanks!" Darry called out from inside the room. "I'm good!"

Danny just shrugged and walked back downstairs. Yuki followed him downstairs while dressed in a vampire costume, on her way to go trick-or-treating.

In the room, Darry was holding out brown-furred cloth which he held out and resembled a dog suit with a furry tail. He heard a knock at his window and he quickly rushed over, phasing his hand through the wall, pulling SpongeTron inside. "Did you bring it?" he asked the robot.

"I sure did." SpongeTron said, holding out a shoddy mask that looked like a wolf's head.

"Gnarly!" Darry cheered as he took it and put it on. It fit him perfectly, though his head was still visible through the mouth. "This is perfect."

"Are you sure Yuki will fall for this?" SpongeTron asked, still feeling unsure about the prank. "It looks…pretty fake." He looks at the same book Yuki was reading and spots a picture of a ferociously horrifying werewolf. "Now this one here looks scary."

"Of course it will." He said, taking off the mask. "We gotta hurry. Yuki's gonna leave to go trick-or-treating any minute."

"But Darry, what I'm asking is are you sure that thing is real enough to fool Yuki into getting scared? If you were scaring me, I wouldn't be gullible enough to fall for it. My creator, yes, but not me."

Darry then stopped and pondered, "You may be right. We better test it out first to see if this really is the ultimate Halloween prank." He changed into ghost form and flew out of his room with the costume in hand.

SpongeTron looked at the book again and smiles when he spots something of interest. "Ooh! It comes with its own Wolfsbane."

Somewhere in town, in the street behind a car, a green portal appeared and a large figure in a green hooded sweatshirt stepped out of the portal on what looked like furry hind legs. From under his hood was a long dog-like nose that sniffed the air a couple times and suddenly took off at fast speed.

A couple blocks nearby, Darry Phantom flew in between an alley way with the werewolf costume in his hands. He turned himself intangible and flew into the costume, instantly fitting it on him, though the suit was a bit baggy on him. He peeks out of the alley to see Tammy and Tommy walking down the street doing their other-worldly trick-or-treating.

Darry smirks from inside the werewolf mask and says quietly, "Hello, first victims."

"After we get Yuki and trick-or-treat around here, we should go to Bikini Bottom to get more candy." Tommy suggested.

Tammy nodded her head in agreement, "Uh huh."

Suddenly, a shadow appears from under the ground and it rises up in front of the two until it takes shape into Darry dressed as a werewolf as he does his best ferocious howl toward the sky.

However, the twins just walk past him and Tammy greets, "Oh, hi Darry. Nice costume."

"We didn't know you would be out on Halloween." Tommy mentions.

Darry was dumbfounded as he asks, "But…But weren't you scared?"

"Scared?" Tommy asks as he and his sister look at his costume. "Of that?"

Tammy adds, "It could use a bit more stitching and the fur could be darker, and the mask could be more ferocious-looking. If you're hoping to scare anyone, let alone an expert on lycanthropy, you should try harder."

"Anyway, we're gonna go get some more candy." Tommy said before he and Tammy walk off. "But nice try."

Darry slouched over and walked off toward the alley, taking off his mask. "SpongeTron was right. This wouldn't have scared Yuki at all. Now what am I gonna do?" From behind him, something began to approach. "I might as well go back home and help Dad pass out candy."

But then he felt a puff of breath in the back of his neck as a nose was close to him. He turned around and saw the figure from earlier standing behind him. He yelped in fright and stumbled backwards. "Hey!" he yelled once he backed away. "What's going on? Who are you?"

The figure then spoke in a deep voice and said in a strange language, "Fantomo knabo. Malnova amiko." He took a couple more sniffs in Darry's direction, "Vi ne odoro kiel li."

But Darry frowned and scoffed, "If you're one of those jerks who go around taking other kids' candy, you're out of luck. I don't have any."

The figure then growled and said, "La tempo venas pli proksimiĝ. Mi bezonas lin."

"Excuse me?" Darry asked with a confused look, not understand what the figure was saying.

But then he grunted and kneeled on the ground and his hood came off revealing it was actually the werewolf ghost, Wulf. Darry gasped in shock at seeing this, "Oh, my gosh…" but then he smiled, "That is a gnarly costume! Where did you get it?"

Wulf looked up at him and asked, "Kostumo?"

Darry approached closer to him and started examining him, "It looks so much better than my own." He runs his fingers through Wulf's fur, "The fur is so life-like and terrifying." He stares him in the face, "And that mask is realistic I can almost smell you're bad wolf-like breath. You gotta tell me where you got it?"

Wulf narrowed his eyes at Darry and said, "Kion vi diras?"

"I…didn't quite catch that." Darry said with a baffled look. "I guess you're from out of town." He then grabbed Wulf's arm, much to his surprise. "But I got a better idea. Why don't you help me out with that costume of yours and if this works out, I'll owe you big time."

Before he had the chance to respond, Darry started leading him away while Wulf suddenly began to wince as the clouds in the sky began to slowly move away.

Outside Fenton Works, SpongeTron had met up with Darry after receiving a call from him to meet up with him outside his home. "So why did you call me out here?" he asked.

"To meet my new friend." Darry said as he signaled to Wulf.

SpongeTron held his chin curiously. "His costume is nice, but who is he exactly?"

"He's gonna help me prank Yuki." Darry explained as he held onto Wulf. "He agreed to help me- or at least I think he did."

SpongeTron nervously looked at Wulf and greeted, "Uh…hi."

Wulf sniffed in SpongeTron's direction and said, "Vi estas metala."

"Whoa," SpongeTron said in surprise. "You sound foreign. Darry, you didn't tell me your friend spoke Esperanto."

"He does? Of course." Darry said, slapping his forehead in realization. "You can understand him. So you'll be able to help communicate our plan. I'm gonna go see if Yuki's out yet. Tell him about the plan."

After he flew off, SpongeTron looked at Wulf with a smile, "Now then, we're gonna scare Darry's sister. Ni estas ontaj timigi Darry-a fratino. Just wait until Darry gives the signal and go out and act vicious. Atendi ĝis Darry eksignalas kaj elir kaj ago brutala."

"Mi vidas," Wulf said until he looked sad about something, "Se la luno aperas dum diris petolaĵon, min ne os deten." He held his head and asked, "Se nur Fantoma povas helpi mi."

Hearing this, SpongeTron's eyes widen once he hears this and seems to come to a realization about something.

Darry returns and excitedly says, "Yuki's trick-or-treating with Tammy and Tommy just around the corner. Now did you explain the plan to him?"

"Yes, but something doesn't feel right." SpongeTron explained tensely. "I think that he might be a real…"

"Okay, here I go." Darry immediately took off without listening to SpongeTron's warning.

At a house nearby, the resident was filling up Yuki's, Tammy's, and Tommy's bags with candy. Afterwards, they walk down the steps while looking at their treats. "Wow," Tommy said with a smile. "We really scored a lot."

"Yeah," Yuki agreed with a laugh. "After this, I'm gonna try to eat it all in one night."

"I'd love to see you try." Darry said, landing in front of them with his arms crossed.

"Hey Darry." Tommy greeted, "What happened to your costume?"

"Oh, I don't need it." Darry explained. "Since I'm, you know, not trick-or-treating."

"Don't feel bad, Dar." Tammy assured. "We can share some of our candy with you."

"No thanks. After all, I don't wanna have to carry so much candy if I run into the werewolf."

Tammy and Tommy looked confused as Yuki questions skeptically, "Werewolf?"

"That's right." Darry said with a sly smile. "I saw it on my way over here. Fur black as night, piercing green eyes, and a loud blood-curtailing howl."

Up in the sky, the clouds began to move away, revealing a full moon behind it. From the hidden alley way, Wulf began to wince and groan as he growled, "Estas okazanta. Mi sentas... la alvok."

"Urge?" SpongeTron questioned in worry. "The urge to do what?"

When Wulf howled loudly, Darry put on a frightened look, "Oh no. I think I hear it coming."

But Yuki crossed her arms in skepticism. "Ha ha. Nice try."

Then the growl grew louder and the three kids see Wulf jump over Darry and lunge at them. Tammy, Tommy, and Yuki scream at the top of their lungs in fright and run away. As Wulf continued to growl at the three, Darry laughed in amusement for the success of his prank while Wulf gave chase.

"Oh man," Darry said as he wiped a tear out of his eye from under his visor. "You should've seen your faces." But then he spots Yuki, Tammy, and Tommy huddled back against the wall as Wulf stood in front of them. "This guy is just a friend I recruited to scare you with his costume." He explained while the three still looked frightened by the growling beast. "Okay, man, I think they've had enough. You can let them go now."

But Wulf's mouth began to water as he snarled ferociously at the defenseless children. "Uh, mister?" Darry said, now looking concerned. "The prank worked. You can cool it with the werewolf act." He then floated down between Wulf and the three kids and tried to rationally say, "What's wrong with you? Can't you see they're scared enough already?"

Wulf, however, let out a loud ferocious roar in front of Darry, and the ghost boy noticed inside his mouth was no trick-or-treater, but a lot of sharp teeth, saliva, and bad wolf breath. Darry gasped in fear, now realizing that this werewolf was in fact real.

SpongeTron suddenly ran toward the scene while shouting, "No, stop! You gotta snap out of it! Klak eln ĝi!"

Ignoring his pleas, Wulf pounced toward the kids, but Darry quickly grabbed a hold of everyone and phased them beneath the ground, avoiding Wulf's attack. They phased back up next to SpongeTron.

"What's the deal, Darry?" Yuki angrily snapped. "You couldn't think of a scary Halloween prank so you tried to feed us all to a ghost wolf?"

"I thought he was a guy in a really cool costume!" Darry yelled back. "I didn't know he was a real wolf or a ghost!"

"Why do you think I ran for my life?" Yuki angrily explained. "I sensed the wolf was a ghost and not another one of your lame pranks!"

Tammy quickly pushed them apart and yelled, "Will you quit arguing? We're about to be eaten by an undead werewolf!"

As Wulf began approaching them, Darry turned to the robot, "SpongeTron, quick! You gotta talk to it in that Esperanto language!"

"I tried that already." SpongeTron explained with a shrug. "He just became really ferocious all of a sudden."

Tommy's candy bag changed into his magic rifle and he quickly fired a blast of magic at Wulf, knocking him away. "It is a full moon tonight." Yuki pointed out. "You think that may have to do with anything?"

"He did say something about the moon." SpongeTron recalled. "He also said something about your dad."

Yuki daggered at Darry, "And of course, you didn't listen."

"Hey, I don't speak foreign werewolf!"

"How do we stop him?" Tammy asked as she ran away from Wulf.

Darry quickly landed on the ground and phases his hands into his shadow, stretching it out as he grabbed a hold of Wulf's shadow, restraining him. But Wulf growled and struggled, making it hard for Darry to keep a hold of him.

"Hang on!" Tammy shouted to Darry as she took out her magic jump rope and tied one end of it around Wulf's neck like a leash and tied the other end to a fire hydrant.

Darry lets go of Wulf and sighs in exhaustion as he falls back on the ground. But Wulf thrashed around as he tried to get free of the rope. "That's not gonna hold him for long." Tommy noticed. "We gotta do something about him and fast!"

Darry flies over to them and asks, "Isn't there something that can stop werewolves from eating people?" Hearing this, SpongeTron's eyes widen, and he rockets away unnoticed. "Like silver!"

"Silver kills werewolves!" Yuki pointed out.

"I'm just repeating what I saw in the movie!" Darry mentioned, glaring at Yuki.

"The werewolf in the movie wasn't a ghost!"

In Fenton Works, a knock was heard at the door and Danny walked to it with a bowl of candy. Once Danny opened the door, however, SpongeTron rushed past him and ran up the stairs. "Sorry, Mr. Fenton!" he yelled on his way up. "No time to chat."

He came back downstairs, holding the vase with the violet flower inside. "Large ghost wolf about to eat everyone." He shouted franticly as he ran back outside with the plant. "Have to help!"

After the robot left, Danny stared after him. "Large ghost wolf?" he asked in until his eyes widen in realization. "Wait a second…"

Back outside, Wulf broke free of the hydrant, tearing it off the sidewalk, spraying water into the air. Tammy screamed until Tommy moves in front of her, firing his magic rifle at Wulf, but he jumped into the air, dodging every blast.

The twins gasp in fright until Darry flew over them and punched Wulf away from the two. As Wulf lied on the ground and turned his head toward Darry, growling angrily, Darry flew toward him and jumped on top of Wulf, holding him in a headlock.

As Wulf thrashed about, snarling viciously, Darry restrained him and yelled, "Guys, get out of here quickly!"

"But we can't leave you alone with that thing!" Yuki called back.

"There's no time!" Darry yelled while Wulf tried to snap at his head. "Get out of- HERE!" Wulf managed to fling Darry off his back and into a wall.

He slid to the ground and Wulf slammed his paw onto Darry's shoulder, pinning him on the surface with his snarling mouth inches away from Darry's face.

Darry trembled in fright as Yuki and Tammy cried out, "Darry!" as Tommy held them still to keep them from going near the feral beast.

But before Darry could fall prey to Wulf's vicious nature, a voice calls out, "Hey werewolf!" and everyone turns to see SpongeTron rocketing forward with the flower in his hand, "Time for you to go vegan!"

As if by slow-mo, SpongeTron turns on his back, slides forward on the ground, knocking Darry out of Wulf's corner and stopping under the beast before forcefully shoving the plant into Wulf's mouth.

Just then, Danny Phantom landed on the ground in the middle of the commotion. "What's going on here?" he then noticed Wulf's presence, "Wulf?!"

After consuming the flower, Wulf gritted his teeth and growled as if the plant wasn't agreeing with him. "Watch out, Mr. Fenton!" Tammy warned.

"He's a vicious werewolf!" Darry also called out to his father.

But Wulf's eyes widen and his vicious face was gone. He turned to Danny and said, "Danny Phantom…friend."

Danny smiled while the kids just looked confused. SpongeTron then pointed out, "That's what he was trying to tell you, Darry. He knows your father."

Darry got a dumbstruck look, "Uhhh…"

Later on, everyone, including Wulf gathered outside Fenton Works to discuss what had just happened. "Mi bedaŭras" Wulf said, bowing his head in shame.

"It's okay, Wulf." Danny assured. "It wasn't your fault. Ne via misfaro."

"But I still don't get it." Darry said. "So he's not gonna kill us anymore."

"No, no," SpongeTron assured. "Wulf was just in the human world at the time of the full moon which is when he loses himself to his vicious wolf-like instincts. He came here to Amity Park in hopes to find Danny Phantom, hoping he could find a way to help him from losing control."

"But how did you know that flower would help him?" Tommy asked.

"Wasn't that Wolfsbane you gave him?" Tammy noticed. "A very poisonous plant?"

"Poisonous to humans, but not to werewolves." SpongeTron explained. "I read in that book Yuki had that Wolfsbane is commonly used to keep a werewolf from losing its conscious mind when transformed."

"That's right." Yuki said with a nod before looking smugly at Darry. "Bet the characters in your movie never thought of doing that."

Darry just sulked and muttered, "I didn't see you running to get the dumb flower."

"I guess thanks to the Nicktoons, you're safe tonight, Wulf." Danny said with a smile. "Hopefully things will go better next month."

Wulf smiled and responded, "Jes. Thank you, friends." while sticking out his tongue.

"Uh…Wulf." Darry said while nervously scratching the back of his head. "I'm sorry I got you involved in this. I should've listened to you. I mean REALLY listened to you."

But Wulf just licked his face and said, "Ĉiuj estas pardonita, Darry Fenton." He then smiled and added, "Via petolaĵo estis efektive amuza." And then ran off on all fours.

SpongeTron turned to Darry with a smile. "He said he forgives you, and he thought your prank was pretty funny."

Darry chuckled until Tommy mentioned, "Okay, we saved the foreign werewolf and we're all in one piece, now can we please go back to trick-or-treating?"

"Yes, I still gotta get some candy." Yuki said excitedly.

"Oh sure." Darry said with a frown and his arms crossed. "You guys get to go trick-or-treating, but I can't."

"I wish you can come with us, Darry." Tammy said, disappointed. "It'd be a lot more fun if we could other-worldly trick-or-treat together."

"You know," Yuki was saying until she smiled, "Maybe you should come with us."

"What?" Darry asked in surprise.

Yuki explained, "Even though your prank backfired, it was pretty funny and it's something only a kid could think up, so maybe you're not too old. Plus maybe anyone young or old who is willing to dress up for Halloween and free candy should be allowed to go trick-or-treating."

Darry grew a large smile as he turned to Danny, "Can I, Dad?"

Danny calmly smiled and answered, "Well, okay. After all, you'll always be a kid in my eyes."

"Gnarly!" Darry cheered as SpongeTron handed him the shoddy werewolf mask from before which he happily placed over his head, and Tommy gave him an extra candy bag.

The kids all cheered as they excitedly ran off for a night of trick-or-treating fun. Crash and Twitchy were watching from across the street. "Halloween is a time for everyone to scare or be scared," Crash said in a serious tone, "But watch what level y'all take your scarin' to."

"Ya got that right." Twitchy said, also in a serious tone while eating a bag of candy. "Thatconcludesoursecondtale."

"Hey, give me some of that." Crash said, pointing to the candy bag.

"Nuhuh!" Twitchy refused, blowing a raspberry. "Mine!"

Crash growled and tackled Twitchy as they rolled away while fighting for the Halloween candy.
