So, I was just watching the 'Halloween Howl' episode and it got me thinking 'What if Slider was in that episode?' This Matt/Inez short was the end result. The costume ideas were mine.

It's Halloween night and we begin in Inez's room. This year, she's dressed as teen singing sensation Sabrina Carpenter. We see her sprawled out on her bed writing in her diary.

'Dear Diary, This Halloween is gonna be so epic! First - Trick Or Treating with Matt, Slider, Jax and Didge in Castleblanca, then off to Mayor Wolfman's Halloween Howl! It's my first Halloween party and first one since Matt and I became a couple, so here's hoping everything goes right,' she wrote as a portal appeared.

"Sweet! My ride's here! Write more later!" the Latina cheerfully said as she jumped into the portal, landing in Castleblanca, joining her friends. Digit was dressed as the legendary and infamous pirate Blackbeard, Slider was dressed as Otto Rocket from Nickelodeon's 'Rocket Power', Matt continued his and Slider's Nickelodeon theme by going as Danny Phantom while Jackie completed hers and Inez's 'Girl Meets World' set by dressing as show star Rowan Blanchard. Little did Inez know that her diary fell out of her pockets and onto the ground below, right in front of Jackie.

"Well, would ya look at that? Looks like Riley Matthews and Maya Hart are here!" Slider joked.

"Aw, I thought you were going as Sam Manson from Danny Phantom, Nezzie..." Matt said, slightly bummed.

Inez giggled "Aw, Matty! I didn't know you were going as Danny Phantom, but that doesn't mean I can't still do this!" she said, pecking Matt on the cheek.

"And now I don't know whether or not I should say I got kissed by Sabrina Carpenter."

While Matt and Inez snuggled, Slider picked up Inez's diary. "Huh? What's this?" Slider asked.

"Slider! That's Inez's diary!" Matt warned. "No one and I mean no one...except me...is allowed in there!"

"Don't you think you're over-exaggerating things just a bit there, Matt?" Slider asked as he read the page it was open to.

"Maybe so, but it's not right to snoop, Sly," the ginger warned.

Slider just shrugged it off as he stopped at one specific line. "TIME OUT! Inez wrote this?" he asked, reading the line - 'Jackie is so mean...' This led to an argument between Jackie and Inez, leading to Inez going with Matt, Jackie going with Slider and Digit going with Jackie and Slider to give Matt and Inez some alone time.

"Honest to god - I know you wouldn't write such a thing about Jackie, Nezzie," Matt said, trying to calm his girlfriend down. "I'm not taking sides here, I'm just going by what I know."

"I know, Matt. It's just not like Jackie to jump to conclusions like that," Inez started. "That's your thing!" she teased Matt.

"HEY!" Matt fired back.

Inez giggled "Aw, I just like to push your buttons a bit, Matty!" she said, running off.

"Oh, I'm so gonna get you for that one, Nezzie!" Matt called out, running after Inez.

We'll go to Jackie, Slider and Digit right now. Much like Matt was doing with Inez, Slider was doing his best to calm Jackie.

"What have I done, Jax? I never should've read Inez's diary..." Slider said, kicking himself for messing everything up.

"Matt warned you not to snoop, Slider!" Jackie reprimanded the skater. "Honestly, you can be as reckless as Matt sometimes."

"I know. But I'll find a way to make this right, Jackie."

Jackie smiled "Just you being here with me makes me feel better," she swooned, kissing Slider. The trio then help Buzz, Delete and Harold divide up their Halloween candy haul so they each get their fair share, after which Harold tells Jackie she's the nicest girl he's ever met.

We go back to Matt and Inez, who've met up with Mayor Wolfman and have been told the Halloween Howl might not be happening because Hacker's taken over his castle. But look out! Here come the Gargoyles of Grizzly!

"RUN, GUYS!" Matt calls out, leading Inez and Mayor Wolfman into an alleyway before pressing a side button on his SQWAK pad. "Jax, Didge, Sly, it's Matt. Hacker's taken over Mayor Wolfman's castle. Inez and I are with him right now. Meet us at the Mayor's castle so we can formulate a plan to evict Hacker.

Within minutes, the group was together outside Mayor Wolfman's castle. Their plan - Digit and Jackie would get garlic from the Old Maid of Graylock to scare off the gargoyles, Slider would create a diversion for Hacker while Matt, Inez and Mayor Wolfman look for a way to get the gargoyles to turn against Hacker. Good thing Slider always has a skateboard on him!

Jackie and Digit soon return with the garlic, scaring off the gargoyles. Slider had diverted Hacker's attention away from the rest of the group while Mayor Wolfman found out that the Seven Gargoyles of Grizzly will turn against Hacker if given 35 pieces of rock candy divided evenly amongst them.

"Where are we gonna get rock candy at a time like this?" Inez asked.

Survey says...from Harold! Harold gladly gave Jackie all of his rock candy before heading out with Buzz and Delete for some more trick or treating. After dealing out the rock candy, Hacker burst in and tried to send the Cybersquad along with Mayor Wolfman back to the dungeon. However, the Seven Gargoyles of Grizzly are now under the control of the Cybersquad.

"Care to do the honors, Jax?" Inez asked.

"You got it, Inez!" Jackie cheerfully affirmed. "Gargoyles, remove Hacker from Mayor Wolfman's castle immediately."

The gargoyles did as asked, immediately evicting Hacker from Mayor Wolfman's castle. With Hacker gone, it was time...to HOWWWWLLLL!

"Jax, Nezzie, Slider's got something to say," Matt started.

"Girls...I should've heeded Matt's warning. I'm sorry I looked in your diary, Inez. It was not nice of me to snoop and I almost broke us up because of it. Can you guys forgive me?"

Inez and Jackie hugged Slider with Jackie pecking Slider on the cheek for good measure.

"I'll take that as a yes!" The skater teen chuckled. Matt then took Inez's hand and kissed it.

"May I have this dance, my lovely Latina?"

Inez giggled "Of course, my athletic hunk-sicle!"

Seeing the newest couple dance gave Slider an idea. He took Jackie's hand -

"Shall we join them?"

"We'd be insulted if we didn't, Slider!"

So to recap - Hacker's defeated again, friendships were broken and mended...and our two favorite couples are dancing the night away. What more would you want from the Halloween Howl?

Well, I don't think much more can be said about this one. If you have any ideas about future shorts, let me know and I'll see you in the next one! SEE YOU IN CYBERSPACE!
