A/N: An early treat for you all before Halloween.
"Annnnd...done!" Wendy said before putting her pen down. She, along with Zim, Mabel, Pacifica and Tambry, had all somehow managed to get cleaned and dressed before joining the others and signing the paperwork that Leon had presented them. "So, how come you guys are here so early? I thought Zim said you'd be here tonight."
"My schedule allowed me an early flight, so I decided to come to Gravity Falls and get this boring paperwork out of the way." Lin answered.
"Well, here you go." Wendy said as she handed them the last few papers they needed.
"So this is all you need to issue us special passports?" Mabel asked as Leon looked Wendy's form over.
"Correct. They shall be ready and sent here in a few days." he answered.
"Perfect! With this, those who wish to travel will now be able to do so!" Lin said with a clap of her hands. "So I'll be seeing many of you in Japan next week?"
"You'll definitely see me there! I want some of those cute cat toys they have!" Mabel grinned.
"Hmm. Stay here and work and have dad yell at me to find a boyfriend, or go on an all expense paid trip to Japan?...I'm in!" Wendy stated.
"Might be nice to travel. I'll go too." Tambry decided.
"Tempting, but I'm gonna stay here." Pacifica politely declined. "I have to get things settled as I ease into being a good Northwest."
"Aww." Mabel whined while Leon checked his watch.
"Lin, we must be going." he informed her.
"Already? Shame. I was having quite a bit of fun." she said before smiling at them all. "It was a pleasure to meet all of you. I hope we can do this again soon."
"It was nice to see you again, Miss-" Zim began before Lin stuck a finger up.
"Ah ah! What did I say?" Lin interrupted.
"Sorry. Nice to see you again, Lin." Zim chuckled.
"And you as well. Farewell for now." she said before she stood up off the couch and headed towards the door with Leon. "Oh, one more thing. I couldn't help but notice something on the way here. Why are there spooky decorations and Jack-o-lanterns carved out of watermelons everywhere? Does Halloween come early in Gravity Falls?"
"What?!" Mabel yelped while Tambry checked her calendar.
"Wow. We were so focused on everything else that I forgot that today is Summerween." she said.
"SUMMERWEEN IS TODAY?! I NEED TO GET MY COSTUME READY!" Mabel yelled before bolting out of the mansion.
"Summerween?" Parker asked. "The heck is that?"
"In Gravity Falls, we love Halloween so much that we celebrate it twice a year." Wendy answered.
"I love Halloween!" Lin exclaimed before Leon coughed into his fist. "But I'll wait for it in October. Until next time." she said as she and Leon departed.
"So this town celebrates Halloween twice a year?" Fink asked. "Shoot! Wish I knew that years ago! I could've come here when I was small and gotten twice the candy each year!"
"And probably have rotted all your teeth out by now." Shannon snickered.
"It feels strange to celebrate our favorite holiday outside of it's usual time of the year." Lucy commented before smiling. "Still, I'm not one to turn down a chance to celebrate it twice in one year."
"Same. Kinda wish they had this in Royal Woods." Haiku agreed.
"Well then..." Wednesday began before tenderly holding an axe in one hand, a finger gently gliding across the edge. "Shall we prepare for tonight?"
"...Where did you get that axe?" Pacifica asked. Wednesday merely looked at her before the tiniest of smiles graced her lips.
"You think we'll have time to make costumes?" Lynn asked.
"Doubtful. Even if we found the materials through last minute shopping, we wouldn't have enough time to make them before this...Summerween is over." Lisa answered.
"I wish Leni was here. She could probably make them in a heartbeat." Lily sighed.
"Suggestion: Ask Tal to make you all costumes to your precise specifications for the upcoming Summerween events!" Gir suddenly said with red eyes while saluting. The women all stared at him before his eyes turned cyan and he began running in circles on the ground. "WHEEEEHOOOOOO I'M GETTING DIZZYYYY!"
"What do you know? That stupid SIR unit of Zim's was actually useful." Tak huffed.
"Hey, where is Zim?" Tenn asked. Everyone looked around to find that Zim was nowhere to be found.
"Oh...shit." Gaz groaned. "I forgot to mention something. After a certain experience one Halloween, Zim developed a mild case of Samainophobia."
"Sam's what now?" Lum said in confusion.
"It's the fear of Halloween." Lisa explained.
"Why does he fear Halloween?" Maggie asked.
"During Zim's first Halloween, my brother inadvertently got them both sent to a nightmarish dimension full of horribly evil monstrosities. They managed to escape, but it left an impact on Zim later on. Now he can't go outside until Halloween is over." Gaz elaborated.
"So it's your brother's fault?" Mandy asked.
"In a nutshell." Gaz nodded before looking around. "Well, let's go find him. He's probably hiding somewhere until Summerween ends."
"This place is huge! He could be anywhere!" Mindy whined.
"Then we'll split up and search." Pacifica declared. A moment of planning and they all split into groups to check the mansion.
-Time passes-
"Where is he?" Parker asked as she, Gaz, Lucy and Pacifica walked down a hallway. She was fiddling with her phone and scowling at the messages she got. "According to the others, we've checked all the rooms in the mansion! You sure he's still here? What if he went back to Tal?"
"I thought of that and called her, but she said he wasn't with her." Gaz answered as they continued walking. "If he's not here or there, then he could be somewhere else. Maybe the Mystery Shack?"
"I can warp there and find out." Lucy suggested.
"Actually..."
They all stopped and looked at Pacifica, who was looking at the ground with an uncertain expression before looking at them. "There's one room we haven't checked."
"What? But I thought we looked through them all." Parker reminded her.
"All but this one. I didn't tell anyone because it's...Let's just look." she said as she turned and headed in a different direction. The others quickly caught up and followed her through the mansion before coming up to a painting of Old Man McGucket with a frown and holding his hand out in a STOP motion.
"What's with the picture?" Lucy asked.
"It was his way of telling me to stop looking at the mistakes of the past." Pacifica answered as she shined her phones light on the right side of the wooden frame. "Just as I thought. The dust here was recently disturbed." she said before tilting the painting, revealing a hidden room behind.
"Cool." Parker said as she and the others all slowly made their way inside. The room inside was dark and full of objects that couldn't be made out very well. "What is this? A storage room?"
"Yeah. A room full of lies and truths." Pacifica answered in a disheartened voice as she shined her phone light, revealing that the room was full of portraits.
"Who are these guys?" Lucy asked as she picked up a painting of a man holding up bags of apples.
"My ancestors." said Pacifica as Parker looked at a similar painting that Lucy held.
"Wait. Why do these two look the same, yet different?" she asked as she shined her own phone light on a picture of another man in the same pose as the apple man, his hands full of cash and his outfit like that of a crook.
"Like I said, it's a room full of lies and truths. Of lies my family told Gravity Falls..." she began as she gestured to the painting Lucy had before gesturing to the one on the wall. "...and the truths about each of them."
The others looked at the portraits for a few more moments before it started to sink in.
"Whoa...So this is what your ancestors were like?" Parker asked.
"And my parents...and me as well." Pacifica shamefully admitted.
"Why is this all here? Wouldn't Mr. McGucket have throw it away after buying the mansion?" Gaz asked.
"He had them all moved here and caught me glaring and ranting about how angry I was at them all for the rotten things I did. When he suggested burning all the paintings, I asked him not to." Pacifica answered, much to the confusion of the others. "I wanted a reminder of what my family did to remind myself to never be like them or like my old self." she further clarified, which they nodded to.
"Not wanting to be your horrible past self? Maybe I should have a reminder like that." came Zim's voice.
"Zim? Where are you?" Gaz asked as they all looked around. They all turned their gazes at Zim as he stepped out from behind a picture of a mad scientist.
"So you were hiding here?" Lucy stated.
"Yeah. Sorry for running off like that. I...can't stand Halloween." Zim said in a low tone, his sad eyes staring at the ground.
"I know, Zim." Gaz said in a gentle voice as she sat down next to him. "But that was only one time, and it was caused by Dib, who's not here."
"I know that, too. I just...every year, seeing all the kids dress up as monsters brings up bad memories." Zim said before shuddering at the memories. "The Halloweenies..."
"I don't know what these 'Halloweenies' that you're talking about, but I doubt there are any here in Gravity Falls." said Pacifica. "All we have are the usual magical creatures and such. The only creature that would attack anyone on Summerween was the Summerween Trickster that Mabel told me about."
"The Summerween Trickster?" Parker asked in confusion and disbelief.
"It was a monster made up of bargain brand candy that came to life and was said to attack and devour children who didn't have the Summerween spirit." Pacifica explained.
"Hey, can you not?" Gaz asked with a frown as she held a terrified Zim close. "I'm trying to get Zim to relax here!"
"Oh, don't worry. Soos ate him years ago and he never returned after that." Pacifica waved off.
"...Now I'm more scared of Soos." Zim muttered as he clung to Gaz, making the woman growl at Pacifica.
"Oops." Pacifica said in realization. "W-Well, it's not like you have to go outside. You can just stay inside and hand out candy to Trick-or-Treaters."
"Yeah. Just come to the door as yourself. People will think it's a great costume." Lucy suggested. Zim merely fidgetted in place, earning a look of sympathy from Gaz.
"Let's discuss this after we all regroup." Gaz suggested as she picked Zim up and held him close. "Besides, it's still morning. We've got time to think this through. Let's go."
Everyone, minus Mabel, was now gathered in the main foyer to discuss how to handle Summerween.
"Well, this Summerween's gonna be boring." Wendy sighed. "We forgot it was today, so none of us planned any parties or events."
"And I'm not seeing anything on anyone else planning stuff other than getting ready for trick-or-treaters." Tambry added as she looked up the latest posts on her phone.
"And even if I wanted to throw a party, the maids and servants still aren't here...or ever coming back." Pacifica groaned.
"What do you mean?" Lum asked
"They all quit and most of them already landed other jobs." Pacifica answered. "Honestly, Mr. McGucket and his son didn't have many in the first place since they weren't using a lot of rooms or throwing tons of parties for big wigs like my parents did."
"So does that mean all of your staff is gone?" Parker asked.
"Pretty much, yeah. I'll have to hire some new staff soon." the blonde said before looking at them all. "But that's for later. For now? Anyone have any ideas for Summerween?"
"Well, I don't know about all of you, but I'm gonna get into costume and go trick-or-treating." Maggie stated.
"Not to rain on your parade, especially since I know how much you love Halloween, but how? All the shops probably only have cheap costumes left by now. Plus, aren't we all a little old for trick-or-treating?" Luan asked.
"Normally, yes. However, I can list two things to counter that. One, Tal can modify our clothing to always fit, so she can make us costumes if we ask her." Maggie began.
"Okay, but there's still the fact that we're too old for trick-or-treating." Lily reminded her. Maggie merely smiled and held up a finger, the tip glow pink as she tapped her own nose. A moment later, her breasts turned flat, her ass was gone and she shrank down to the size of a little kid. The others all gaped at her before Lily spoke again. "I've only said this to Lisa, but now I'm saying it to you. You're a genius! OH! Make me small! I wanna go, too!"
"How small?" Maggie asked.
"Small! The smaller I was, the more candy I got!" Lily stated.
"How's this?" Maggie asked before tapping her forehead. A moment later, Lily was now looking up at everyone from her new height.
"I'm as smaww as a baby! Pewfect!" a baby looking Lily exclaimed before noticing what she said. "I even sound wike one!...I better not need diapews again!" she finished with a glare.
"If you do, I'm not changing you." Luan joked before she and most of the others asked with various degrees of excitement or indifference.
"So you four are staying behind?" Maggie asked Zim, Tak, Tenn and Pacifica.
"Yeah. Kids always come up here for Summerween, and Mr. McGucket already had a huge supply of candy stockpiled for the event. It'll be enough to last them all until Halloween comes." said Pacifica.
"And we're gonna have Tal change into something for the kids and have it in Pacifica's yard." Zim added before looking at Gaz. "And that means I don't have to leave the safety of Tal's security system, right?!"
"That's right, Zim. You're safe." Gaz answered with a smile as she gently patted his head.
"Guuyyyyysss!"
Everyone looked up to see Mabel running towards them, a dark bundle in her arms.
"Guys! It's terrible!" she shouted as she stopped and caught her breath. "My...My costume! It...It's too small now! My body's too big for it! What do I do?!" she said, sounding close to crying.
"Whoa, whoa! Easy, Mabel. It'll be fine." Wendy said in a calm voice.
"How can it be fine?! My brother and Grunkles have all already left, there aren't any fun parties to go to and now my costume is too small! This is the worst Summerween ever!" Mabel cried.
"MABEL!" Gaz yelled, snapping Mabel out of her funk. "Cut the waterworks and listen. Tal can make the suit fit if you give it to her."
"Really?!" Mabel asked with a hopeful grin. "So I can wear it and scare kids as I give them candy?!"
"Better. You can wear it as others give candy to you." Gaz corrected.
"Huh?" Mabel said in confusion before Maggie tapped Mabel's knee, making her shrink down. "What the-?! Whoa! I'm a kid again?!"
"Wewcome to da cwub!" Lily laughed.
"Most of us are gonna go trick-or-treating. Pacifica and the irkens are going to stay up here and pass out candy at her mansion." Maggie explained.
"Really?! Awesome! Oh! I'll go get the candy I was gonna pass out and add it to your stockpile!" Mabel said as she tried to run, only to run in the air as Pacifica held her up by her sweater.
"Save it for Halloween. I've already got enough to rot all of Gravity Falls's teeth out." Pacifica chuckled.
"I'll call Tal and have her come up her. You guys think of what costumes you want in the meantime." Gaz said as she pulled out her phone and sent a message. A few moments later, Tal drove up to the mansion, looking rather...odd.
"Why does your limo look like a bloated water balloon about to burst?" Tambry asked.
"I don't know. Tal, what happened to you?!" Gaz called out.
"I've been...busy...these last few hours." she answered, her voice sounding a little queasy. Suddenly, the limo started making a rumbling sound. "Oooooh I don't feel good."
"Does she need a mechanic?" May asked before Tal's door opened up-
*BEEEEELLLLLLLLCCCCCCHHHHHHHH*
-before a massive gust of wind came out of Tal and slammed into everyone, knocking everyone within range over. When it ended, Tal was back to normal and the group all slowly began to pick themselves up.
"No...She needs an antacid." Luan answered in a daze.
"What was that?!" Lee Kanker asked as she tried to put her hair back into curls.
"Tal, what have you been doing?" Gaz asked.
"I finally had the chance to deconstruct and assimilate that huge spacecraft nearby. Took a while since it was so massive." Tal answered. "Gotta say, for a ship that's who knows how many years old, it has some serious firepower."
"You mean you ate that really big spaceship?! How'd you do that?!" Mabel asked.
"Simple. I shot some of my nanites at it and had them tear the ship apart at a molecular level before assimilating it into myself. Kind of like how a fly spits on it's food to eat it." Tal explained.
"Gross, but cool." Parker smirked.
"Cool is an understatement. My processing power and other functions have skyrocketed beyond numbers, but I'll fill you in on the details later. You summoned me for a reason?" Tal asked.
"Got a custom wardrobe job for you, along with a request for the Summerween season." Gaz answered.
"...Summerween?"
Lazy Susan was humming to herself as she lit her Jack-o-melon and placed it on her yard. She looked at it and moved it to the right a little before gazing around the yard.
"Alright! The decorations are up, the sun is going down and I'm ready for the kids in their cute little costumes!" she said to herself.
"Sorry! No cute little kids here! EHEEHEEHEE!"
"Hmm?" Susan blinked before turning around and yelping in fright. Floating above her were four tiny witches, all of them flying in a big circle above her before flying down and stopping in front of her.
"Trick-o-Treat!" they all said before laughing, with Susan laughing along.
"Oh my goodness! Those are some really well made witch costumes! And the flying brooms?! How are you doing that?!" she asked before laughing again as she grabbed the candy. "Well, great costumes deserve great big gobs of candy!" she said as she placed a heaping handful of candy into each of their sacks. "Happy Summerween!" she said as they took off into the skies.
"HAHAHA! This is awesome!" Lee Kanker laughed as she and the other three witches all stopped and looked at their haul.
"Yeah! We've only hit a few houses, but we've already got so much candy!" Marie grinned, her crooked teeth glinting in the moonlight. "Thanks for the magical facelift, Mindy."
"No problem. And don't worry. I can undo it easy." Mindy answered with a grin.
"How long can these brooms fly?" May asked as she made hers spin in a circle.
"Until Summerween is over at midnight." Mindy answered. "Now come on! We still have more candy to get! Onward, fellow witches!"
"EHEEHEHEEE!" they all laughed as they flew over the streets bustling with other trick-or-treaters.
Manly Dan, dressed as his ancestor, Archibald, answered the door after hearing a knock. He opened up to see two different gothic vampires, a bucktoothed mime, a glasses wearing mummy, an athletic looking werewolf, a plague doctor and a cute little baby squirrel standing outside with sacks of candy.
"Twick-ow-tweat!" Lily babbled.
The hulking man stared down at them before grinning and throwing them a sack so large that all of them needed to catch it.
"HAPPY SUMMERWEEN!" he roared with a laugh before going back inside.
"Oi vey!" Maggie groaned, her plague doctor mask falling off. "Why does candy have to be so heavy?!"
[THE HEAVIER IT IS, THE MORE SUGAR HAS BEEN PACKED IN!] read the sign Luan pulled out. Maggie deadpanned at her answer before the sack was lifted off of them.
"C'mon, girls! We've gotta get more candy!" Lynn grunted as she carried the sack over her head.
"RUN FOR YOU LIVES!" a mother shouted as she, her kids and a lot of others ran away as a lone figure walked down the street, a buzzing chainsaw in their hand. The figure was small, wore a yellow apron, was covered in blood and looked like it had another person's face sewed over theirs.
Leatherface had come to Gravity Falls.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"
The figure turned and looked Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland, dressed respectively as a princess and an elf, were pointing their guns at them. Guns that were held in violently shaking hands.
"T-THAT'S FAR ENOUGH, YOU-YOU...THING!" Blubs yelled.
"P-P-PUT DOWN THE CHAINSAW AND-AND-AND-AND PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!" Durland ordered, his knees knocking together.
"Oh?" the figure said as it stared at them before slowly approaching them, making them jolt and shake even more. "And what will you do if I don't? Shoot jellybeans out of those candy pistols you're carrying?"
"AH! BLUBS! THEY KNOW!" Durland yelped, squeezing the trigger in a panic and shooting out a red jellybean. The figure stopped before them, standing half their height, and held the chainsaw up to them, making them jump back.
"You can stop worrying." the figure said. "Unlike your candy guns, the work on my chainsaw makes it almost indistinguishable from the real thing."
"Eh, uh...what?" Blubs asked before seeing it up close.
"It's...fake." Leatherface drawled. "It's merely a realistic toy that I've modified to make sounds and release smoke. My friends would not allow me a real one to use."
"Oh...Oh! Okay! Phew!" Blubs said in relief as he and Durland began to chuckle. "I-I wasn't fooled for a second!"
"Y-Yeah! We knew it was fake! The chainsaw, the blood on your apron. Even that mask was a good copy!" Durland chuckled.
"Oh, the mask and blood are real." Leatherface said, stopping the laughter cold. "I merely said the chainsaw was fake. I got these from someone trying to steal candy from me and my friend." Suddenly, a tune, with little finger snaps spliced in, rang out, making the figure answer their phone. "Oh...my friend." Leatherface said before answering. "Hello...It's for you." they said before hitting the speaker function. "Talk."
"Uh...h-hello?" Durland asked.
"Hello, Edwin and Daryl. I see you've met my friend." a voice rasped from the other end.
"W-Who is this?! How do you know our names?!" Blubs demanded.
"Ever heard of the internet? Anyone can get anything from it. Your name, your age, your favorite food...the adress to your home."
Both cops were starting to sweat after that.
"By the way, those Sea Hollies you have in your garden? Might want to ease up on the water. You'll drown them at this rate." the voice informed them.
"Who are you?!" Durland yelped.
"Just an observant passerby. By the way, there's a tear on the back of your left ear, elf boy."
"...how do you know?"
"Because I'm looking right at it."
Both cops said nothing for a moment before slowly looking over their shoulders. Their jaws widened at the sight of Ghostface as he hung up his phone, then slowly held up a knife that gleamed in the moonlight.
"...Boo!"
Let it be known that on that Summerween, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland set the Gravity Falls land speed record for running for your lives.
Leatherface and Ghostface just stared in the direction the two officers ran before Ghostface looked at the candy they dropped.
"Think we might've gone a little too far, Wednesday?" Ghostface asked.
"No. They're just not that brave." Wednesday/Leatherface answered. "After all, if you were them and I scared you like that, would you wet your pants and run to hide in your closet under an old baby blanket, Parker?"
"...This town needs better law enforcement." Parker/Ghostface huffed before looking at her friend. "Just to clarify, that isn't real skin...right?"
"Oh, it is. Just not human skin. I did a little work with a few animal corpses I found to make this. Same with the blood on my apron." Wednesday answered.
"Right." Parker said with a grimace before shaking her head and gathered the candy the police dropped. "At least we got some free candy. Wanna scare someone else?"
"Quite. Let us continue." Wednesday nodded. They started to walk before a group of children ran past them, a spinning saw wielding Shannon chasing them, followed by a Turbo Fink.
"TRY TO STEAL OUR CANDY, WILL YOU?! I'LL SHOW YOU!" the rat girl yelled before waving at Wednesday and Parker. "Hi. Later." she said before charging after the kids.
"Looks like they're having fun." Parker said before they finally walked off.
"Man, look at all this candy!" a kid in a werewolf costume said as he held open his bag full of treats.
"You think that's great? Look at mine!" a mummy kid boasted as he showed his bag full of goodies.
"Thou hast verily gathered many divine treats to dine upon tonight!" a knight said as he lifted his own candy.
"In modern English, you dork." a wizard huffed. The knight lifted his visor and grinned.
"We got a massive haul of candy!" the knight answered. "I bet we can make it to Halloween with all this stuff!"
"Yeah! Hey, let's hit Mr. McGucket's place! He always gives the best stuff!" the mummy suggested.
"Did you forget that he died? Pacifica Northwest owns it again." the werewolf kid reminded them before grinning. "But yeah! She might have something! Let's go see!"
"YEAH!" the four of them cheered before they turned to head for the mansion, only to bump into someone dressed as a martial artist.
"Hey! Watch it!" one kid snapped. "I almost spilled my candy!" The martial artist girl glared at them before holding her hand out towards them. "Huh?"
"Hand over your candy." Mandy demanded.
"Why?" the wizard asked.
"To make up for bumping into me, you blind oafs." she answered.
"Thou must not disgrace yourself by spreading such false rumors!" the knight said before lifting their visor again. "I mean, you liar! You bumped into us!"
"If anything, we should be taking your candy as payment!" the mummy countered.
"That would be a fatal mistake on your part." Mandy warned, her hand tightening into a fist. The four kids looked at her before they started laughing.
"Oh no, guys! We made the little girl mad!" the werewolf chortled.
"Watch out! She might use her kung fu on us!" the mummy laughed.
"Whatcha gonna use? Tiger or Crane style?!" the wizard snickered while going into bad fighting poses.
"Surely thou j-*pfft!* I can't! It's funny!" the knight chuckled. "And what's with that hair?! Is the flame supposed to scare us?!"
"No. This is." Mandy said before she suddenly threw out a barrage of strikes at the boys. They all reflexively shielded themselves until she stopped, making them look before smirking at her.
"You missed~" the mummy sang.
"Did I?" Mandy asked just before the boys costumes fell to the ground in shredded pieces, making them shrieked and cover up their tighty whities.
"Oh man! This is embarrassing!" the armorless knight groaned as a few other kids saw them and laughed.
"This stinks!" the furless werewolf whined, his cheeks turning red from embarrassment. "Someone just kill me now!"
"MICHAEL!"
The werewolf boy suddenly paled when a booming voice spoke his name.
"GEORGE! HORACE! CONSTANTINE!"
The mummy, wizard and knight paled as well when their names were called. The four suddenly had a shadow cast over them, making them look up at a hooded silohuette being illuminated by the orange harvest moon. The four of them gasped as the figure raised a two handed scythe above their heads, piercing red eyes appearing from under the hood.
"YOUR TIME HAS COME!"
The four boys, and a few others, all ran away as fast as their little legs could run.
"I WAS ONLY KIDDINGGGGGGG!" the werewolf kid wailed, tears in his eyes as he fled. Mandy looked at the empty streets, bags of candy dropped in a panic, before looking back up at the figure.
"Nice job, Tambry! They all dropped their candy and ran!" Mandy called out before muttering to herself. "How'd she get her voice that deep?"
"Hey, Mandy. Sorry I'm late." Tambry said as she walked up to Mandy in a Grim Reaper cloak, her hands texting on her phone. "Took me a while to find my fake scythe." she finished while holding up a plastic scythe.
"Tambry?" Mandy said in confusion. "But if you're down here, then who's..."
"HAPPY SUMMERWEEN, MANDY! HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!"
The figure laughed before suddenly grabbing their cloak and pulling it around itself until they twisted into nothingness.
"Whoa...Who was that guy? He sounded Jamaican." Tambry commented while Mandy just stared in shock. After a moment, her face went back to her usual frown as she and Tambry gathered the candy. They were about to leave before Mandy shot one last look up at the moon.
"Happy Summerween...Grim."
"Such a wonderful time of the year~" Mrs. Valentino sang as she and her husband, dressed as old time undertakers, were giving away candy to trick-or-treaters.
"It'd be a lot better if I was anywhere else." Robbie complained.
"Now now, Robbie. Where's your Summerween spirit?" his father asked.
"About a hundred miles from here. Maybe I'll go find it and get out of here." Robbie chuckled as two newcomers came up.
"Trick-or-treat." Susie, a sorceress said as she held up a sack.
"Oh my, isn't that just the cutest...hmm? You look familiar." Mrs. Valentino suddenly said.
"Susie? Is that you?" Robbie asked.
"No. I am her little sister." Susie answered before holding her sack higher. "Now may I have candy, or should I turn you into a pig like I did with this one?"
The three adults looked at Gaz, dressed in a full bodied piggy outfit, walked on all fours and snorted at the air, her ambers eyes being very large.
"Oooooh that is just the cutest little piggy I've ever seen!" Mr. Valentino gushed before they gave them some candy.
"*Snort* Thank you!" Gaz said before they walked away, leaving two smiling and one confused adult behind.
"Well, that went better than I thought it would." Susie commented before seeing Gaz take the chocolate pieces out of her candy sack and into her piggy suit. "Why are you doing that?"
"It's a secret." Gaz answered as she patted her suit, an odd squelching sound coming from inside.
"Well, this was fun." Wendy, dressed as a black cat girl, said as she headed back towards the mansion with Lum and Mabel.
"For you, maybe." Lum, dressed as the bride of Frankenstein, grumbled.
"Why are you upset? People loved your costume." Wendy asked.
"But I wanted my figure to be in it!" Lum complained before falling over, then quickly got back up. "I'm alright!"
"If you were still adult sized, you wouldn't have been able to go trick-or-treating without people giving you weird looks." Mabel, dressed as Micheal Myers, countered.
"I don't care about the candy!" Lum huffed, making Mabel gasp.
"LALALA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Mabel yelled while covering her ears.
"Give it a rest, Mabel." Wendy chuckled before seeing a line of people at the front door, a zombie Pacifica at the front door giving away candy.
"And sppfftome floor you! And you! And spptome for you!" Pacifica garbled as she gave out candy.
"Why does she get to stay as an adult?" Lum huffed as she looked at Pacifica, her skin looking loose and gangly and her clothing torn in ways that didn't reveal too much to anyone.
"Because she's gotta pass out the candy." Mabel answered.
"Come on, mom! I wanna go on the spaceship bounce house! Let's go!" a little kid dressed as a vampire said.
"Bounce house?" Lum asked before she, Wendy and Mabel stared at the bounce house in question.
Next to Pacifica's mansion was a ginormous spaceship bounce house, a long line of both kids and adults waiting to get on. Standing at the front of the four doors of the bounce house was Zim without his disguise, showing everyone his true eyes and antenna.
"WELCOME, PITIFUL HUMANS, TO THE GREATEST CRAFT IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE: THE MIGHTY IRKEN BOUNCE SHIP!" Zim yelled, sounding like his old self. "GATHER IN AWE AND AMAZEMENT!...Kids on the left. Adults on the right. And don't forget to read and follow the rules."
"ME NEXT!" one kid squealed as he ran up to the door. He tried to run in before an undisguised Tenn stopped him.
"Whoa there, little one. Rule #3: Shoes off before entering." she said while pointing at the kids mud covered shoes.
"Sorry." he said before a grown man was suddenly booted out of the bounce house.
"Come on! I didn't do anything wrong!" the man yelled.
"Ten minutes means Ten minutes! And I know you went over the limit!" an undisguised Tak snapped as she came out from the adult section's 'EXIT' door."If you want back in, get in line and let others have a turn!"
"But there's tons of room in there!" the man huffed. "The limit said 40!"
"40 for the children's side! Adult side is 20!" Tak countered as she pointed at the rule board at the front of the spaceship next to Zim before going back inside. The man grumbled as he stood up and looked at the line before his body sagged at the sight of it.
"Aw, come on! It'll take me forever to get back in!" the man groaned.
"Well, you better hurry. It's getting late and we're gonna pack up soon. So if you want another turn, you better get in line fast." Zim informed him. The man sighed in defeat before quickly running to the end of the line.
Time went by as the families started to leave, with a few stragglers still inside the Bouncy Ship.
"Okay everyone! Time's up! Please leave the Bounce House and collect your shoes!" Zim called in to the last few patrons. The people inside all slowly began to trickle out, put their shoes and leave.
"That was fun!"
"I hope they have this when Halloween rolls around."
"Now I'm glad I held off on the candy."
As they left, they noticed a rather large group of kids walking up the road to the mansion, each of them hold big sacks of candy.
"Uh, if you're looking to enjoy the bounce house, it's...closed...for...the night?" one person started to say before seeing how grotosque or frightening some of the costumes were. They, and all the others, picked up the pace a little before full of running when they saw four witches flying towards the mansion, their cackling echoing throughout the area.
"There you all are." Zim greeted as all the shrunken women approached him. "And with you guys, everyone's back. Get a good haul?"
"And how!" Lynn answered with a grin as she held open her sack that was bursting with candy.
"We have enough candy here to keep us all on a sugar rush until Halloween." Lily laughed.
"Hey, is Tal still willing to be a bounce house for a little longer?" May asked from atop her broomstick.
"Take your shoes off and hop on in!" Tal said as she opened both doors, causing most of the girls to run in.
"No thanks. I have my dignity." Mandy refused before Mindy scooped her up on her broomstick.
"Live a little!" Mindy laughed as she flew them both in.
"You coming?" Parker asked Wednesday.
"Very well." Wednesday drawled before handing her chainsaw to Zim, with the others all giving their accessories and 'weapons' to Zim.
"Hey, Maggie. Mind shrinking me too?" Pacifica asked. Maggie smiled before tapping Pacifica's knee, making her shrink down to child size. "Wait for me, everyone!"
Eventually, the only ones still outside were Zim and Gaz.
"You going in?" Zim asked.
"Was waiting to talk to you." Gaz answered. "How'd you fare? Get scared?"
"A little. But when I saw all of your costumes and compared them to the ones all the others wore, I thought they were a little cute." Zim admitted. "Plus, I'd forgotten that kids don't always dress up as monsters. They dress up as cartoon characters, or princesses and all other kinds of things."
"So, not scared anymore?" Gaz asked.
"Not as much as I used to be. And I got an excuse to go around without that disguise." Zim chuckled.
"Glad to hear you had fun. But don't think it's over. I have a surprise for you, but it'll be for later. So, shall we?" Gaz said as she gestured towards Tal, the sound of laughter coming out of her bouncy spaceship shape.
"Yeah. I've been wanting to join in since the beginning." Zim nodded. The two were about to join the others before they heard footsteps.
"Alright! The bounce house is still open!"
"We didn't miss it!"
Both Zim and Gaz looked to see two teens approaching. One dressed as a commando of sorts, the other as a mummy.
"We'd like a turn in the bounce house." the commando said.
"Sorry, but the bounce house is closed." Zim answered.
"What are you talking about? We can hear others inside laughing it up." the mummy stated.
"Private party. Invitation only." Zim explained.
"Aw, come on! That's not fair!" the commando yelled.
"You should've come earlier. Sorry, but the bounce house is closed to the public. But don't worry. We'll have something else for Halloween." Zim explained with a smile.
"I told you we should've come here earlier. But noooo. You wanted to go back around and TP all the houses that gave us bargain brand candy!" the mummy grumbled.
"Don't act like it's all my fault! You're the one who supplied us with all that TP in the first place!" the commando countered.
"Hey, you two. Mind taking this someplace else?" Gaz questioned with an annoyed look.
"We're not leaving until we have a turn in the bounce house! And no shrimps are gonna stop us!" the commando snapped as he stepped forward. Gaz glared at them before snapping her fingers. A moment later, a small ray appeared out of Tal and aimed at the two teens.
"Leave, or else." Gaz warned.
"Or what? Your bounce house is gonna shoot us?" the commando mocked.
"What's it gonna shoot us with? Bubbles? Air? Oh, wait! Let me guess. It's a real laser, right?" the mummy laughed.
ZAP!
Both teens were confused when the laser went off, then screamed when they realized that their costumes, and undergarments, had turned to ash.
"Actually, it is." Gaz smirked before the two teens ran away, their hands covering their lower anatomy.
"I HATE SUMMERWEEN!" they screamed.
"Good Tal." Gaz said while patting the laser Tal made before it disappeared back into itself. "Shall we, Zim?"
"We shall. But before we do, I have to ask...why does your suit look so bloated?" Zim asked. Gaz looked down at her piggy costume to see that it looked puffed up like a balloon.
"You'll see~" Gaz answered before grabbing Zim and running inside.
After their fun in the bouncy Tal, Zim, along with Mimi, Gir and Minimoose, had been separated from the women when Tal shapeshifted.
"I wonder what they're doing." Zim said to himself.
"Knowing my master, she's probably thinking of how to end you. Just like I do every night." Mimi stated.
"For the last time, I'm sorry that Gir's personality warped yours a little." Zim sighed.
"Oh, you'll be sorry. I'll make you both sorry for what you did to me! I-" Mimi started to rant before a screen appeared, the Angry Monkey Show popping up on the screen. The moment she saw it, her eyes went cyan and she sat down next to Gir to watch.
"I love this show~" both SIR units said in unison.
"Well, that'll keep them busy for a while." Zim chuckled before looking at Minimoose. "Any idea what they're all doing?"
"Squeak."
"Dividing the candy plunder, huh? Well, I hope they share with me. And I hope they destroy any of the bargain brand stuff. Don't want that Summerween Trickster returning." Zim said with a shudder.
"Oh, they're gonna share, alright.. Share you~" Tal cooed as the wall slowly rose. When Zim saw the others, his eyes shot open.
The women were all back to their original sizes, their costumes, without their masks, were clinging to their bodies like a second skin, and all of them were posing for Zim in alluring positions, making even the non-sexy costumes look appealing.
"Trick or Treat~" they all said at once.
"...I love Summerween." Zim whispered with a grin.
"Well, don't get used to it. At least not from me." Tak huffed from her pose. "I only did this because they wouldn't let me leave until I went along with it."
"Oh really? Then how come you kept trying to find the perfect angle to show off your ass to him?" Tenn smirked, making Tak blush and scowl at her.
"So, Zim, what delectable treat shall you partake in first?" Lisa asked.
Zim looked at her, then at all the other women in the room.
"Hmm...so many beautiful treats to choose from" he muttered as his eyes kept darting around between them. To Wendy's leather catsuit, to Creepy Susie the Sorceress, to Gaz's piggy suit that...looked a little lumpy? "Gaz? What's with your suit?" Gaz giggled before reaching for the zipper on her front and slowly unzipped all the way down. Zim and the others watched as the suit slowly peeled off of her, revealing her bare, chocolate coated body from neck to toe. The sight made them all stare and, in Zim's case, drool.
"So that's why you put all your chocolate into your suit." Susie said in understanding while Gaz ran a finger over her shoulder before licking it off.
"Want your treat Zim? It's all for you~" Gaz cooed. Zim simply raised his arms and began to robotically walk towards her. She smiled as Zim approached her before he grabbed her thighs, brought out his tongue and plunged face first into her snatch, making her moan in delight. She shivered when she felt more tongues spread out on her body, most of them licking around her pussy and spreading around to her ass. She yelped when Zim somehow lifted her up before tossing them both onto a bed Tal made, her moans filling the room as Zim continued to devour her, his tongues plunging in and out of her chocolate covered pussy.
"This is disturbing...but I can't look away." Parker stated.
"I kinda want to try it." Lynn admitted.
"What? Having Zim lick chocolate of you?" Lily asked.
"That...and licking it off Gaz." Lynn confessed.
"Well, we have tons of chocolate we just scored." Tambry pointed out. Most of the women looked at each other before they ran to the candy bags and began fighting for the chocolate. Soon, however, it became a different kind of fighting as the women starting to find themselves all over each other. From Haiku licking on a sucker between Lucy's tits, to Susie licking sour candy gel off of Wednesday's nape. The only one not to indulge in any of it was Tak, who had backed up until she had hit the wall.
"They're animals. Crazy, lust-fueled animals." Tak muttered as she stared at them all. The more she watched, the more her grimace grew. She nearly jumped when her stomach growled before she scowled and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Tenn asked as she munched on some gum drops.
"I'm getting out of here before I get sick." Tak answered.
"Why? There's tons of candy to snack on!" Tenn smiled.
"And tons of females acting like it's mating season!" Tak scowled.
"And that's a bad thing? We are all trying to get pregnant by Zim." Tenn countered.
"Maybe so, but that doesn't mean we all have to act like...this!" Tak said as she gestured to Fink having candy sugar licked off her furry breasts by Shannon, her tongue having become elongated to wrap around each mound.
"True, we don't have to." Tenn admitted. "However, it doesn't mean we can't have a little fun now and again."
"You call this fun?" Tak deadpanned, making Tenn chuckle.
"Aw, quit being a party pooper and enjoy yourself. Here, try this!" Tenn said as she handed Tak a long gummy rope covered in colorful candy."
"The heck is this?" she asked before nibbling on one end. She bit off the end, chewed, swallowed...and proceeded to tear large chunks off with each bite. "It's delicious~" she moaned in delight.
"I know, right? Tangy and gummy, sweet and crunchy." Tenn said as she read the package while Tak finished the candy. "Hungry, are we?"
"It didn't hit me until now, but I haven't eaten at all today!" Tak stated. "I want more!"
"There's tons of it all over." Tenn reminded her as she gestured the candy that was quickly coating the other women.
"Or you could give me what you have in your hands." Tak countered.
"Uh uh." Tenn shook her head no before taking her shirt off and sticking more of the rope candy between her breasts. "You want candy? You gotta get it the same as the others."
"You must be joking." Tak groaned.
"As the Earthlings say 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.'" Tenn chuckled. "So...what's it gonna be?" she finished while squishing her breasts together. Tak was ready to argue before her stomach growled in protest, the empty pit demanding to be filled. It also didn't help that the smell of the candy all around her was flooding her senses. She stood there sweating for a second before her stomach growled again, causing her to finally cave. She lunged at Tenn, who yelped in surprise before she started to laugh when she felt Tak devour the sweet morsels that lay between her jugs.
And from the doorway, watching the carnal carnage unfold everywhere, was Minimoose, who slowly turned around and smiled at the readers, a squeaky voice coming from him as he spoke.
"Happy Summerween~"
