I do not own.

"Oh, you look so cute!" Beverly said as she snapped a picture.

"I wanted to be a pineapple." Ten year old Angel pouted with his arms crossed. His brown hair was slicked back and he wore a bright yellow shirt.

"Don't be like that, sweetie." Beverly bent down to address her son. Angel looked away. With the crook of her finger placed under his chin, Beverly gently moved Angel's face so that he was facing her again. "Now, you know papi doesn't like dressing up in costume. So this is a big deal, okay?"

"Why can't you go trick-or-treating with me?" Angel asked.

"Well, remember last year when we left papi at home to give out candy?" Beverly responded.

Little kids in costume stood in front of an unassuming white door. Carved pumpkins decorated the porch. "Trick or treat!" They shouted as they rang the doorbell. The door sprang open and a werewolf EVO popped up from the doorway. Its chest opened up to reveal a cannon. Candy bars began shooting out. The children screamed running away from the assaulting of treats.

Caesar stepped out. "Hmm, I guess air compressor is set too high. I should recalibrate the pneumatic chamber. "

"Hey you! What do you think you're doing, attacking my kids?" An angry father charged up the walkway.

"Ah, I assure you I wasn't trying to attack anyone. It's a simple miscalculation with the compressed air…" Caesar tried to explain.

"I'll compressed you." The irate man swung his fist. Caesar moved so that his fist just passed his nose.

"I see that you are quite agitated, senor." Caesar said calmly. "I highly suggest you take a moment to reconsider your course of action."

The man swung his fist again. Caesar side stepped him.

"Hold still, you lunatic!" The man yelled as he went after him.

"I'm sorry but you leave me no choice." Caesar said pulling something out of his vest pocket.

Beverly and Angel returned to see police cars, fire trucks, and an ambulance parked in front of the house. Paramedics pushing a twitching man strapped to a bed past her.

"Oh no." She muttered pulling Angel along. "Officer, officer, what's going on?"

The bored looking officer turned to her. "He yours lady?"

Beverly glanced at Caesar who was talking to another officer. "Yes." She said hesitantly.

"Well, he attacked some kids with candy bars and then incapacitated one of their fathers." He said.

"No, no. That's not Caesar. He probably made something that delivers candy and something went wrong… and the other guy probably started it." Beverly finally convinced the officers that Caesar was a harmless if albeit eccentric scientist. She pulled the werewolf EVO out of the doorway, swept up the candy bars on the floor, and manned the door for the rest of the night. But very few kids showed up as rumor spread that there was a crazy man attacking trick or treaters.

"Mami?" Angel tugged on Beverly's sleeve. "You okay?"

Beverly shook herself. "I'm fine. But I think it would be best if I stay home."

Angel sighed. "All right."

Footsteps made them turn around. A man with spiky blue hair and a lab coat stepped into the room. "Ready to go, mijo?" He asked.

"Yes papi." He said picking up his basket.

"Let me get a picture of you two." Beverly made them pose while she took a picture.

"Come on. Let's get going, mijo." Caesar took Angel's hand.

"Be good." Beverly said as they stepped outside.

"I'm always good." Angel said indignantly.

"I wasn't talking to you, sweetie." Beverly said quietly.

The first two houses were uneventful. When they got to the third house, they passed a group of trick-or-treaters.

"Don't bother going to that house." The annoyed lady said while ushering her children away.

"No candy?" Caesar asked.

"Oh no, they have full sized candy bars but the man is such a jerk." She huffed. "Not worth the aggravation."

Angel looked at his father. "Should we go to the next house, papi?"

"No, mijo. You need to learn that in life that you have to let things roll off your back in order to get what you really want." Caesar marched up to the porch of the house and rang the door bell.

A man opened the door and glared at them. "Who are you suppose to be? Some stupid anime character?"

"I see you are unfamiliar with the new show about a scientist and his grandson…" Caesar began.

"I don't care how stupid you folks want to make yourself look. I hate this holiday but my wife says I should I need to be sociable or some crap like that. So here, take the candy and go." He threw the bar at Angel who fumbled and dropped it.

"What's wrong with you kid? Spending too many time in front of the idiot tube, like your old man?" He scoffed. "You'll never amount to anything."

Angel's lower lip trembled as tears sprung into his little eyes. Caesar saw it.

"Excuse me, senor. It is one thing to insult me but you should not be insulting my son." Caesar said with a slight edge in his voice.

"Yeah, what are you going to do about it?" The man challenged.

Beverly was handing out candy when a policeman walked up with her son.

"Angel? Are you all right? What's wrong? Where's papi?" She looked at the policeman in alarm.

"Your son is fine but your husband got into an altercation. He is down at the station." The officer explained.

"Papi clobbered the man who insulted us." Angel said happily. "Well, not really clobbered, more like sent him to the fourth dimension and dragged him back."

Beverly's eyes went wide.

"You need to come down to the station to post bail." The officer said.

"I see." Beverly sighed. "Let me go get my checkbook. Oh, and I should drop Angel off at my sister's."

"Whatever ma'am, I need to go. There's been another report of two men in a cow and chicken costumes causing a ruckus." The officer stated. He tipped his hat and left.

"Come on, Angel. Let's go to Auntie Becca's house for a few hours." Beverly grabbed her purse.

"Okay, mami. " Angel said. He thought a moment. "Do you think they'll have a dimensional disruptor there?"

"I'm sure they don't." Beverly answered locking the door.

"Do you think I can build one?" He asked.

"Not today, sweetie." Beverly replied.

So a little reference to the last Halloween's story where Rex got into a fight is included here for you. Roxyte wrote a story featuring Caesar aa Rick and Rex as Morty. The story has been taken down to be revised but it was hilarious and I hope it will be back up soon. So this is dedicated to Roxyte. Caesar is Rick and Angel is Morty. This said, I have never seen a full episode of Rick and Morty.

I'm trying to finish the stories but things have been crazy lately. I don't want to burden you with my problems. Trust me I'm working on it.
