It was Halloween night. Kids were out and about, trick-or-treating and running around with their friends. Soon enough their little bellies would be full of cherished chocolates and yummy gummies! If one listened closely enough, the outraged cries of dentists all over the world could be heard.

Gaara happily did a twirl as he looked at himself in the mirror. He looked super cool! He turned so that his backside was facing the mirror. What an awesome tail! So fluffy and-

"Awwh, you look absolutely adorable! So cuuute!" Deidara cooed as he caught the little redhead examining himself.

The redhead puffed his cheeks in anger, "Uhm, no! I am not cute! I am cool!"

Deidara laughed and swept the boy up in his arms. "Of course! How could I mistake such an awesome costume as cute, un?"

Gaara smiled and hugged the blond back. "Right!? Thanks again… for taking me tricker treating!" He pouted, "I… I know daddy doesn't feel good."

The blond ruffled the boy's hair. "Yeah, he's pretty sick, but that's okey. We can still have a fun time." He straightened out the boy's black mask. "Ah, perfect. Let's go tell your dad we're heading out and then we can go meet up with your friends!"

Gaara nodded and took off ahead of Deidara. He pushed open his father's door slowly, whispering, "Daddy? Are you sleeping?" He heard the man groan in response. The little boy jumped as Deidara came up behind him.

"Danna?" He waltzed inside, not bothered by the man's sickly groaning underneath the blankets. "Hey, we're heading out now."

Sasori slowly poked his head out of the covers. "Okey, stay safe you two."

Deidara huffed, "Won't you even look at your son's costume? He looks so cu-" the blond coughed, "cool, un."

Gaara waddled in, striking a cool pose. "Tada!~"

Sasori glanced over at his son and smiled, "Ah, you do look really cool, Gaara. I wish I coud come with you."

Gaara grinned, "That's okey, daddy! I know you're sick, so you gotta get better by getting lots of sleep and soup!" He scratched his head, "Did you have to take the purple medicine too?"

The older redhead chuckled, "Y-Yeah… A waaay bigger dose than you would have to."

"Dose?"

Deidara laughed, "He had to take more than you, because he's old."

"Ooooh…"

Sasori glared weakly at his lover.

Deidara smirked back and leaned over to place a kiss on the redhead's forehead. "Alright, we're off. Get some rest."

Gaara pushed between the two, leaning up to give his father a kiss on the forehead as well. "Nighty night, daddy!"

Sasori smiled and nodded, "Stay safe and have fun. Oh, hey, Deidara can you check on Kankuro? Make sure he's still in his room. He' a little peeved that I wouldn't let him go out tonight. Said he had some plans with friends. Need to make sure he hasn't snuck out."

Deidara nodded, "Of course."

The two left the older redhead's room and zoomed down the stairs. Gaara ran to go sit next to Temari on the couch, while Deidara checked on Kankuro. Sure enough, Kankuro was sulking in his room. He laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. What a bitch it must've been to have all your video games taken away. With the teenager in check, Deidara returned to the living room, ready to take a bunch of kids trick-or-treating.

Gaara could hardly contain his excitement as they finally gathered all his friends. They all stood at the beginning of a neighborhood, waiting on one last person to arrive. Sasuke, of course. Both Gaara and Deidara let out a groan of distress as the Uchihas came into view.

"Did he really have to come?" Gaara whined to his friend, Naruto.

"Uh, duh! Sasuke is like my best friend!" the blond kid exclaimed.

Gaara huffed, "No, he's not! He said he doesn't even like you!"

"S-So? That's just him trying to be cool!" Naruto defended.

The redhead rolled his eyes, "Yeah, right. That's him just being a meanybutt."

Deidara sighed and leaned on one hip, "About time, Uchiha. Your hair straightener catch on fire or something, un?"

Itachi raised an eyebrow. "No, and if it happened to, you'd be the first suspect on my list."

The blond sent him a sneer, "Of course." He eyeballed the raven's costume. Then Sasuke's. "Vampires? Seriously? How cliche."

"Like Red Riding Hood isn't," Itachi sassed.

"Oi-"

Gaara snorted and crossed his arms. "You hear that, Sasuke. You're cliche!"

Sasuke glared at the little redhead as he roused a few snickers from the crowd of boys and girls. "I bet you don't even know what that word means!"

"Do too!"

"Y-Yeah, well, what are you supposed to be?" Sasuke snapped.

"A raccoon!" Gaara beamed.

Sasuke scrunched his nose as if in disgust. "Ewww, a raccoon! How dirty!"

Gaara's mouth fell open. "T-They're not dirty!" he stomped his fluffy foot.

"They eat trash, yanno," Sasuke stated. "I bet you'd eat trash too!"

"I would not!" Gaara cried out.

Sasuke laughed, "You're not even scary at all!"

The redhead frowned, "I don't… I don't have to be scary…"

Soon enough all the other little kids were laughing at poor Gaara, while Sasuke soaked in the glory. Gaara could feel the tears about ready to burst from behind his eyes. At least he had his mask to hide his sad ugly face behind. Suddenly, someone stepped in front of him.

"Alright, you two. Enough, un. Itachi, tell your little brother to stop being a prick," Deidara frowned, crossing his arms in annoyance. "He's always got something smart to say."

Itachi sighed and pulled Sasuke close to him.

"H-Hey!" Sasuke yelped as he was pulled by his tall collar.

"Do we need to have another talk, Sasuke?" Itachi scolded.

Sasuke humphed, "No!"

"Good, then please be respectful to your friends."

"They're not even my friends…" the little raven muttered.

"Sasuke-"

The boy huffed, "Okey! Okey! I got it! Sheesh!" He stomped ahead of the group, already ready to end this Halloween night. The sooner he could stuff his face with candy the better!

"Careful Sasuke!" Itachi called out, slowly following and leading the group beside Deidara. "I don't want you to further hurt your arm!"

The raven made a noise of complaint. It sounded like a steaming kettle.

Deidara snorted, "Geez, what a brat. How'd he break his arm anyway?"

Itachi sighed, "Another time, Deidara. Let's just try to enjoy this with as little problems as possible."

"Sure thing," the blond shrugged.

The group moved forward, Temari and her friends staying in the back while the older boys lead the younger children. Gaara slowly walked beside Deidara, feeling self conscious about his costume. He sniffled a little and pulled up his mask a bit to rub his eyes.

"Hey, you alright?" Deidara asked quietly.

"Y-Yeah…"

Deidara gave a small smile. "Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. You don't have to be a scary monster for Halloween. I'm not scary either, see!" the blond stated, flapping his red cape to show off his costume underneath. "Besides…" he looked around as if making sure no one could hear them. "I think your costume is the coolest. I bet you'll get the most candy."

Gaara smiled, feeling a bit better. "You really think so?"

"I do!" The blond ruffled his hair, "Now, let's have some fun, okey?"

The redhead nodded and perked up enough to talk to his friends again.

Deidara smiled warmly and watched proudly. Gaara was definitely the cutest kid in the group. Probably the nicest as well… He glared lightly at the little Uchiha. Deidara had to remind himself that Sasuke was a child and being mad at a child was a very silly thing to do. If only he weren't so much like Itachi.

At the end of the night, everyone's bags and buckets were filled to the brim with candy. Everything had gone pretty well after the first few houses. None of the kids fought or argued and the preteens were respectful enough to let the little kids run up to the door first. Itachi and Deidara were civilized with each other. It was all in all, a good night.

Until something popped out of the bushes, startling everyone.

The kids all let out screams as a scary looking shadow figured popped out and yelled, "HE'S COMING FOR YOUUUU~!"

Then another one popped out, roaring and howling.

Gaara grabbed onto Deidara's tights, screaming his lungs away.

Suddenly a third figure charged out of the bush. "GOT YAAA!" he yelled in a gravely voice before maniacally laughing.

All the kids freaked and ran up the street, dropping their bags of candy in the process. Deidara and Itachi stood in shock.

"Hey!" Itachi snapped, "What the hell is your problem!"

The three scarers laughed and sprinted off through the yards.

"Fucking teenagers," Deidara growled. "C'mon," he said, tugging the raven away.

They caught up with the kids, trying to calm each one of them. As they stood around, comforting the children, an idea popped up in Deidara's head. He turned to the oldest Uchiha. "Hey, I got a plan. Up for some ol' fashion Halloween revenge, un?"

Itachi snorted, "Perhaps. What do you have in mind."

Deidara smirked, "We're not too far from a store. We're gonna egg those little bastards and give them a taste of their own medicine."

Itachi cracked a grin. "Let's do it."

The trip only took about fifteen minutes. While Deidara and Gaara bought the eggs, Itachi stood watch with the other children. He had managed to locate the troublesome teenagers easily. They had returned to the spot where the kids dropped their candy. They munched on stolen goods, laughing as having a good time.

"Alright, kiddos, you stay in the car and just watch. Don't leave the car, got it?" Deidara started.

All the kids nodded.

"We're gonna get your candy back," Itachi informed them. "And give them a little scare of their own."

Deidara looked over at Gaara and smiled. "Hey, lemme see your mask, un."

Gaara raised his patchy eyebrows in surprise. "Okey." He handed the little black mask over to the blond and watched in awe as the older boy slipped on the plastic. The little redhead gasped, "Whooa! You look so cool!"

The blond chuckled, "Thanks. C'mon, Itachi, let's show these punks how Halloween pranks are really done."

"Certainly," the raven smirked.

The children all pressed their faces to the windshield as they tried to get a good look at what the older males were doing. It was a bit hard to see due to the darkness, but they could still make out their shapes.

Deidara and Itachi waltzed up to the teenagers. "Hey, assholes! You like scaring little kids!?" the blond yelled in a strong voice. As soon as all three teenagers looked up in shock, Deidara chucked an egg through the air. One unsuspecting teen was hit square in the face, the egg making a prominent thud upon impact before splattering grossly.

The other teenagers didn't have time to react as Itachi quickly catapulted his own eggs. They were so fast that even Deidara swore he wouldn't have seen it coming. The college duo threw eggs as the three teens tried to duck and run away.

From within the car, Gaara could only stare in awe. Cape fluttering through the wind, mysteriously hooded, bright white tights, and the perfect mask to keep his identity a complete secret! Deidara… Deidara was a superhero! He was… Super Deiman!

"L-Look!" Gaara exclaimed. "It's Super Deiman and his sidekick Butt Weasel!"

All the kids 'oo'ed and 'aw'ed at their new superheroes. All but one kid, of course.

"Uh, what? Did you just call Itachi a-" the little raven made a disgusted face, as if the mere word would make him vomit, "a sidekick?"

Gaara stuck out his tongue. "Uhh, duh-doi! Look at him" he said gesturing to the raven. "Super Deiman is clearly doing all the work. Butt Weasel is just eighting!"

"You mean, aiding?"

"Yes!" Gaara huffed. They all looked out the window. It seemed that the teenagers had managed to catch a few eggs and retaliated. Some even threw candy. What a waste!

The littlest redhead opened the door just enough so he could stand on the ledge of the doorway.

"What're you doing? Are you trying to get us in trouble, stupid?" Sasuke snapped. "They told us to stay in the car."

Gaara smirked, "I am!" He stood on his toes. "GO SUPER DEIMAN AND BUTT WEASEL! KICK THEIR BUTTS!"

The other kids all looked at each other. Then Naruto stood beside Gaara. "COVER THEM IN EGG! BEAT UP THOSE BAD GUYS!"

Another door opened and the other kids started yelling and cheering as well. Even Temari jumped in, wanting Deidara and Itachi to succeed.

"WE BELIEVE IN YOU SUPER DEIMAN! SCRAMBLE THEM, BUTT WEASEL!" a particular voice yelled.

Gaara looked over in surprise. Standing on the ledge beside him was none other than his big mean bully, Sasuke. Huh, he didn't look so bad when he actually smiled instead of grinned like a big jerk.

Sasuke felt the redhead's eyes on him and looked over, startled. A faint blush covered his face and for a moment, his foot slipped. He closed his eyes bracing for the impact that was surely to further break his arm and prolong the dumb cast he had on. It never came though. He looked on in surprise as Gaara had managed to catch the other. "H-How?" Sasuke blushed.

Naruto peeked out from behind Gaara, grinning from ear to ear. He was clearly holding onto the redhead.

"B-But?"

Behind him was a girl, Sakura, holding onto Naruto. She giggled and smiled at the raven.

Sasuke stared back at Gaara.

"With the power of f-friendship anything is possible!"

Sasuke averted the gaze and let the boys and girl pull him up back to safety. "I-I guess we can be," he swallowed hard, "friends…"

Gaara smiled as his mortal enemy confessed that they could be friends.

"Hey, we told you guys to stay in the car, un," Deidara scolded as he and Itachi approached the car. While the kids cheered them on, the two college kids managed to pelt enough eggs that the teenagers scurried off. They both carried several bags of candy in their arms.

"W-We did!" Gaara stated. "Didn't take one step outside!"

Sasuke nodded, as if confirming the redhead's truth. "I told him we'd get in trouble-"

Gaara pouted.

"-but we only opened the doors soooo technically we didn't leave the car," Sasuke finished.

Gaara nodded vigorously.

Itachi sighed, "I suppose that could be true."

Deidara rolled his eyes. "Kid is too smart for his own good," he muttered. "Here, kids," he said passing out everyone's bags back. "Watch out for egg, un."

It was around twelve when they finally had dropped mostly everyone off. It took a lot of explaining and calming worried parents, but finally they had reached their second to last stop for the night. Itachi looked over at Deidara, a small smile gracing his lips.

Deidara put the car in park and saw the look from his peripheral. He made a face of disgust. "Ugh, don't look at me like that, Uchiha. Gives me the creeps."

Itachi chuckled softly, "You're never happy with the way I look at you."

Deidara gripped the steering wheel, it squeaking as he twisted his hands. "I'd like it if you didn't look at me at all," he smiled.

"Hmm…" Itachi sighed before opening the door to the cold air. "It's been a pleasure working with you, Super Gayman."

Deidara sneered, "As well to you, Ass Weasel."

Itachi snorted, "Say goodbye to your friend, Sasuke."

The little raven scoffed, "Friend? As if!" He jumped out of the car, ignoring Gaara's hurtful look. "See you at school, buttlord," Sasuke waved.

Gaara pouted as the door slammed close and the two Uchihas entered their home. "What a jerk!" he huffed.

"Tell me about it," Deidara sighed. "Alright, kiddos, let's go home."

Once home, Gaara stopped Deidara before he entered the house. "Thanks again, Super Deiman!"

Deidara laughed, "Anything for you." He crouched down and took off the mask, handing it back to Gaara. "I think you make the better hero though," he started. "I'd be your sidekick any day, un. Let's kick butt together, okey?"

Gaara beamed, "You got it!" He gave the blond a hug before running inside.

Deidara sighed and pulled his hood down. He couldn't wait to get out of this costume. Smelled like eggs. After tucking in Gaara and Temari, Deidara ran up to the shower to change and freshen up. Just before he was about to jump in bed beside Sasori, he heard the sound of a door opening. The front door to be exact. Sneaking down the stairs, Deidara saw a black figure sneaking in. The blond snorted quietly. Of fucking course Kankuro snuck out. He calmly walked down the stairs and flipped on the lights. "Good to see you, un."

Kankuro froze misstep into the house. "Aw, fuck."

Deidara crossed his arms over his chest. "Yeah, sucks doesn't it? You really need to work on your sneaking skills. Even Danna can hear you when we-" he paused, noticing something. "Are you… covered in… eggs?"

The teenager sighed heavily, "Yeah…" He crossed his arms. "My friends and I were… assaulted by some superhero wannabes. Something about butts and weasels and a gay man?"

Deidara laughed, "Geez…"

"Look… we're cool, right?" Kankuro asked. "Please, don't tell my dad."

The blond hummed, "Mm, fine… Just under one condition, un."

Kankuro sighed in relief, "Ugh, yes, okey! What is it?"

"Wait here," Deidara smiled.

The teenager did so. When the blond returned, something enclosed in his hand, he gave a confused look.

Deidara approached Kankuro and smiled sweetly. "This is for scaring your little brother, un."

The teenager cringed as an egg was promptly smashed on his head, the egg whites sliding down his neck.

"Also, it's Super Deiman." The blond wiped his hand against the front of Kankuro's hoodie.

"I… I deserved that," Kankuro admitted, annoyed.

Deidara nodded, "That you do. You're going to apologize to Gaara tomorrow morning, unless you want your dad to find out about what happened." The blond turned to leave, "Oh, don't forget to clean up. You track egg in the house and Sasori will know something's up." He happily bounded up the stairs.

Kankuro sighed, "Damn it."
