A short, blonde-haired devil laughs mischievously as he escapes from his babysitter's sight. He has big plans tonight, and trick-or-treating just isn't going to cut it. He rushes over a couple of streets and finds his supplies stowed away in a bush, a huge grin spreading across his face. This will surely be a night to remember.
And it all starts with ding-dong-ditch.
Naruto laughs to himself as he rings the doorbell for about the thirtieth time. This time, however, instead of answering the door for what might be trick-or-treaters, the woman within turns off the porch light… and all the lights within. Naruto stays hidden as she leaves her house and drives off, irritation oozing off her like the green goo that her face is REALLY made of underneath the makeup.
The old lady who lives here is so mean… and old! She likes to pretend she's younger than she is, but Naruto knows better. He has seen her without her makeup… and boy, is she scary! At night when no one is around, her face is green and gooey, and he would swear on his ramen that she's an alien – dattebayo!
But tonight, he plans to get her back.
After she leaves, he grabs his supplies and gets… creative… with the decorations. He picks up her pumpkins, one by one, and smashes them on the porch, barely able to smother his giggles. Each window gets a healthy finger-painting made from pumpkin guts. He doesn't bother to clean his hands before digging out the carton of old eggs and chucks them at the front of the house. The longest task is worth the effort: five boxes of forks stabbed into the lawn with a few proud flamingo generals watching over the plastic white troops. And a few minutes later, he proudly steps back to survey his work with a fresh roll of toilet paper in hand, the solitary tree at the front of the house covered in the quilted white streamers.
Everything had gone according to plan. That is, until…
"Naruto!" The boy jumps and slowly turns around when a voice hisses at him from the bushes.
"M-Mayuri-chan! What a surprise… hehe?" He glances down to the toilet paper in his hand then holds that hand behind his back, although the toilet paper tail between his legs is pretty obvious.
"I thought I told you no wandering off! I told you we were going trick-or-treating, not pranking!" The girl steps out from the bushes with her hands on her hips. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Aw, Mayuri-chan… I just wanted to have a little fun." A sigh leaves the blonde's lips, cracking the authoritative façade the girl puts on to keep him in line.
"You really got bored getting handed free candy?" She receives a solemn nod, and she sighs before a grin stretches across her face. "Fine… but hand over the toilet paper."
"Aw, but Mayuri-chan…!"
"Hand it over, Naru-chan. After all," she grins recklessly, "you've missed a spot near the top!"
