Candy


"Ha! That's the last one!" Danny capped the thermos and shoved it in his backpack. He transformed, and dropped a few feet to the ground. A sound, like crackling plastic and crinkling cellphone was heard when Danny took a step.

"Ew!" In the dim light of the alleyway, Danny could see the remains of a candy basket filled to the brim with candy. "Wait, not ew. Free candy."

He picked up the basket and peeked inside. The candy looked normal enough. Snickers, Reese's, Milky Ways, Three Musketeers, Mars Bars, and Chipoas. Actually, they were Danny's favorites.

"If only..." He dug around, shifting the candy aside to look at the bottom. "Yes!"

A king-sized Aero bar was hidden behind two Chipoas. "Jackpot!"

Danny loved Aero bars. They were hard to find, especially in America. They were full of air bubbles that collapsed the bar as it melted in your mouth. Sometimes they were filled with strawberry or vanilla flavoring instead of air bubbles, but the bubbles were the best. And the king sized ones made the flavoring last for hours!

"I can't wait to show Sam and Tucker!" They would definitely want to see this!


"I don't know what you are talking about, man. That isn't an Aero bar." Tucker raised his eyebrows. "That's a king sized Chipoa."

"What? No! That's a giant bag of black licorice gummy bats!" Sam argued.

"No! Guys, look, it's an actual Aero bar-" Danny cut himself short.

"Wait. Tuck, what other candy is in the bag?" He dumped the candy on the bed.

"Snickers, Milky Ways, Mars Bars, and Mounds." Tucker pointed to the candies. But when he reached the Reese's, he called it "Mounds."

"There's no Mounds in there. Those are gross!" Danny exclaimed. "Those are Reese's you are pointing at, dude."

"Ew, no! Those are defiantly Mounds."

"Guys, there are no Milky Ways! How can you not see the cocoa roasted peanuts?" Sam replied, holding up a Chipoa.

"That's a Chipoa, Sam."

"Danny, you are clueless. That is obviously a caramel Kit Kat."

"No way! It's a Chipoa-"

"Danny! Tucker! Stop fighting for just one second." Sam held up her hands. "Where did you get this candy, Danny?"

"I found it! I just captured a ghost-" Realization dawned on his face. "Oh."

"This isn't candy. It's ghost candy." Sam declared, throwing the Chipoas back in the basket. "That's why we aren't all seeing the same things!"

"Yeah! We're all seeing our favorite candies!" Tucker exclaimed.

"And that's why you only saw the Chipoas instead of the Aero bar! It's because you've never tried an Aero bar! And Sam saw the gummy bats-"

"Because those are my favorites!" Sam held up the Aero bar, which wasn't an Aero bar.

"Should we eat the candy anyways?" Tucker asked. "I mean, it is candy."

"Nope. It's shape shifting candy from a ghost. Plus, Halloween is just a few days away."


I love how my thought process for this was literally "Candy." "Ghost Candy." "British Ghost Candy." "Shape shifting British Ghost Candy." "Tucker whats to eat shape shifting British ghost candy." "Chipoas."

I love chipoas. And Aero bars.
