"When night falls over the crisper drawer,

Horrors arise like you've not seen before.

Creatures howl and make you wail,

Past your expiration date, without fail

This is Halloween….by the cast of Veggietales."

Halloween is perhaps the best part about fall.

Sure, the kids have to go back to school, but they can rest easy knowing October 31st is no doubt right round' the corner.

Over at Bob's house, the annual Halloween party was taking place, and this time, he turned half his backyard into a full-on haunted house, with the help of some neighborhood pea kids.

"Ready for the party, Bob?" Larry asked. He was dressed as Daffy Duck, even wearing a fake bill around his mouth.

"Sure am, Larry!" Bob replied. He was dressed as Bugs Bunny.

Both the veggies stood by the door and one by one, all their friends started to arrive. The kids were the first to come, Percy had painted his entire body a ghost-white color, Junior wore a striped-black and white t-shirt, Annie wore a black dress and tied her hair up in pigtails, and Laura wore a lab coat and goggles with her normally blonde hair sticking up, dyed in black with a long, white stripe down the middle.

"Great costumes, guys!" Larry smiled. "Although, I get the Addams Family kids one, the Casper the Friendly Ghost one, but Laura, what exactly are you supposed to be?"

"I'm The Bride of Frankenstein, but she's a mad scientist as well!" Laura inhaled, then, "AAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" She laughed a most malicious laugh.

Pa was next after the children, his costume ("He-Grape, Master of the Veggie-Verse") seriously impressed Larry.

"WOAH!" Larry exclaimed. "Lookin' GREAT, Pa!"

"Thanks, Larry!" Pa replied. "My kids used to love this cartoon growin' up—oh, an' watch this…"

Pa lifted up his sword high above his bowl-cut head, and a lightning sound effect came from the background.

"I HAVE TH' POW—OH! My back!" Pa exclaimed, his old spine cracking a tiny bit. "…did not expect that at all."

"You still make a great He-Man!" Larry replied.

Lovey was next along with Archibald, she strode into Bob's house, dressed in a strapless purple dress, her long, hair-like stalks dyed black. She wore blue eyeshadow, with dark-red lips, along with teardrop-shaped earrings, and carried a little prop cartoony "bomb" with a fake cigarette holder.

"Oooh, Lovey!" Larry smiled, opening the door. "Great costume!"

"Sank you, dollink..." Lovey replied, imitating the 60's cartoon woman she was dressed as.

Archibald followed Lovey, dressed as the 5th Doctor (he IS an avid Dr. Who fan after all, it's canon). He looked a little disappointed that he and Lovey weren't dressed with the theme.

"Nice costume, Arch!" Larry replied.

"Why couldn't WE have done a couples costume, Lovey?" Archibald asked his wife. "I could've totally been that little cartoon Russian!"

"Well, in the cartoon that little man was rather short, and let's face it, you're a beanpole." Lovey replied. "I still love you."

"Oh bugger all.." Archibald replied. "I love you too..."

"Remember, I'm only doing this because little Jean-Claude insisted." Lovey smiled as the titular pea showed up alongside his brother, dressed as Hercule Poirot. "And besides, it's only Halloween!"

"Dang Jean-Claude you both look great together!" Larry smiled.

Jean-Claude was wearing a black fedora, with a black jacket and pants, looking very cartoonish. He also wore a small, wispy, black mustache on his mouth—he'd been growing it out for this occasion.

"OHOHON!! AH WHEEL CRUSH DE MOOSE AND SKVIRREL!!" Jean-Claude hollered, whipping out a cartoony mallet made from rubber, and repeatedly slamming it down on a moose plushie, making it squeak each time.

"He ees really getting into ze role, non?" Phillipe replied. "We deed not even ave' zees Boolwinkell and Rockee cartoon growing up een Paree. Personally, ah prefer George of ze jungle."

"Well, to each their own." Bob replied. "Oh, look at that! Jimmy and Jerry are here!"
