Happy Halloween! (Part 1)

Written by Kektendo

It’s Halloween night at the SALT Diner, and the contestants are all dressed up and having a big party. Niko and Tonio are in the kitchen as usual, Tonio going with his usual style of serving and filling orders for Halloween. Tonio dons a fake grey mustache and a much puffier chef’s hat, and Niko is dressed as a stack of pancakes.

I must say Mr. Trussardi, you’re killing it in that Chef Boyardee costume!

Grazie! Although I am a man of fine Italian cuisine, you must appreciate some of the canned food classics from time to time. Plus, I hear the real Chef Ettore Boiardi had a fantastic pasta sauce! Your costume is… interesting Niko, but you look great.

Thanks!

How’s it going, dudes?

Duane strolled into the kitchen. He was wearing a snazzy Barbie Ken costume.

You got that pasta for table 7?

Yes, I do. You can go out and serve it now.

Radical. By the way, you dudes got the cake ready, right?

Mhm! I helped make it!

Niko almost spilled the flour, but overall they were a good hand.

Tubular! I’ll go get that food out then.

Duane left the kitchen and rolled over to Table 7, where Lou, Danny, Peacock and Captain Viridian are seated.

Here’s your pasta, dudes and... dudette!

Why thank you, young man!

Thank you very much!

Enjoy!

I’m not usually one for spaghetti, but I’m sure this will be good.

Pasta’s always great, Viridian!

I suppose.

Suddenly, Timmy the Rabbid jumped up and ate Viridian’s pasta whole.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Bean and Mitch start cracking up. The three are all dressed as Minions.

Eh, I wasn't hungry anyways.

Well that sucks, sorry about that. At least your costume's cool. You’re all... round!

Sure am! I thought it would be funny since I’m usually all cubic. It’s kind of an unnecessary cop-out since it’s still me, but hey, being round is fun! I like your costume too, Peacock.

Thanks. Dressing up as that cup guy is really fun!

It sure is fantastic! I’m over here dressed like Danny!

And I’m dressed as Lou. We thought it’d be original, but clearly we weren’t the only ones who thought of it.

Danny gestures towards the outside of the diner, where the Giant Enemy Duo are offering candy to trick-or-treaters. Spider has fake crab claws attached to his legs and is wearing a headband with fake crab eyes. Crab is wearing extra fake legs and has spider webs around his shell.

Well, you can’t win ‘em all, ‘ey Danny?

At the end of the day...

Cut back to GED outside, who are giving out candy. Mordecai and Rigby walk up, Rigby dressed like a burglar and Mordecai as a dad, and he strangely had 5 kids dressed as ghosts.

GIMME CANDY, BIG DUDES!

What do we say?

All 5 kids say “Trick or Treat!”, scarily in unison.

{ B t t B } (You could’ve been nicer about it Rigby, but sure. Give them all some candy, Crab.)

Crab gleefully places some candy in Rigby‘s and the kids’ baskets.

What do we say, kids?

The kids start saying Trick or Treat over and over. Mordecai gets nervous and drops a cassette player hidden in his sweater.

{ B t t B t K } (Wait a minute, are those even kids? Where’d you even find children?!)

A breeze comes by and blows away the ghost tarps on the “kids,” revealing that they were all tin cans.

THEY'RE ONTO US, RIGBY!

RUN!

Lupin and IGOR were watching Mordecai and Rigby’s fiasco from the window of the diner.

tbh rigby's costume sucked ass, but that simp is pretty damn smart

I agree, real thieves don’t even dress like that! Then again, your costume IS just a cheap Frankenstein mask, so I’m not sure how valid your opinion is..

eh, i had to get something for the party, so i went with this. your costume's pretty dope tho.

what was it again? "phantom thief joker" or some weeb shi-

DID SOMEBODY SAY JOKER?

yea

HAHAHAHAHEEHEE!! It is I, Joker of the Phantom Thieves!

He runs off, waving the tail of his trench coat like a vampire.

I did it better.

CRIMINAL!!!

Oh, hey Over Justice! How’s it going? Nice Inferno Cop costume.

where’d you even come from

NONE THE MATTER! Also thank you, CRIMINAL, I thought it would look cool.

So, what is it now?

Nothing in particular. Just know I have my eyes on you, as well as on JUSTICE!

you gotta hop off his dick bro, i know he’s a thief but c'mon.

If you wanna take me down so bad, why don’t we go do some Apple Bobbing?

YOU’RE ON!!

this’ll be fun to watch.

The three walk over to the Apple Bobbing booth, which is run by the Top Tutorialists. Omochao is wearing a fitting carnival barker outfit, and Navi has a tiny Link hat on.

Hey all, welcome to Apple Bobbing! Before we get started, here’s a quick guide on how to play Apple Bobbing!

Aw man, I just wanna get to the game...

Hey! Listen!

In Apple Bobbing, apples are floating in a bucket of water. Both players go in and try to grab apples with just their mouths, and the first one to grab an apple is the winner!

On the count of three, you both go! Ready?

Yep!

ABSOLUTELY!!

3...
2...
1...

GO!

Lupin and Over Justice go in for the apples, and Lupin emerges in a quick time of 5 seconds, apple in mouth. Over Justice emerges soon after, his flames strangely unharmed.

Lupin III wins!

Sorry Justie, but it looks like I win!

Congratulations. Just know, JUSTICE will prevail in the end.

He walks off and Lupin leans into IGOR’s ear.

Pssst, I actually cheated. Hehe!

man, that’s fucked up.

Over Justice walks over to the bar and sits next to Lord Raptor. Skeletor is the bartender.

One coffee, bartender! Black as night.

Heh, you cops and your coffee. I’ve never understood it.

A cop needs as much energy as possible in order to deliver JUSTICE!!

I guess it’s respectable, rock stars need their own sources of energy to keep doin' their thing.

Say, what's with the lack of a costume this evening?

I’m already spooky, mate. I don’t NEED a costume.

Here’s your coffee, Over Justice.

Thank you! Say, are you also not wearing a costume?

You buffoon, my costume is the host of his fine establishment!

You already were the host.

You've got me there. The great Skeletor needs no disguise to strike fear in the hearts of his subjects!

Or maaaaaybe, the great Skeletor couldn’t think of anything!

Blank, who is dressed as Jerry Seindeld and sitting... uh, floating next to Ibuki, presses a button on a cassette player. A stock laugh track sound effect plays.
