"Alright, you just head up to the front door and say trick or treat and then whoever is inside will open the door. If they offer you candy, they're obviously humans who have poor taste in holidays. If they offer to shove something up your butt, they are most likely an alien," Ozone informed Snowball as they strolled down the street. Chloe trailed behind them, trying to scare any of the kids that passed her. No victory so far. Scratching his head, Snowball mumbled, "They give away candy for free?!"

"Are you kidding me?! How are none of these kids freaking out and running for the hills?!" Chloe exclaimed after her five hundredth attempt to scare a child. Luck was not on her side. Angry, she ran off to accomplish her personal mission just as Ozone called out, "Focus on the... ugh, never mind. Snowball, it's just you and me." The cat headed man turned around to find the blob missing. Alone, he went to complete the mission by himself.

"How did I get stuck on babysitting duty?" Tiberius grumbled. Inside Gidget's house, he was helping out while keeping an eye out for alien activity. So far there was none. The only true problem he was having was ignoring Hu. The cat could literally keep him fed for the next two months. But Daisy had forbidden him from eating her cat. Huffing, he went out on the porch to pass out candy to the kids so Gidget and Max could finish getting the decorations. He was a bit confused as to why they had so much candy in the front yard. Heck, there was even a chocolate fountain.

"Alright, come on Chloe. You got this," Chloe whispered to herself, cracking her knuckles as she went up to the first door. Ringing the doorbell, she stretched a few more. As soon as the door opened, she let out a loud hiss, trying to scare whoever had opened the door. Seeing the humanoid cat, the little boy giggled happily and exclaimed, "Tigger!"

"Crap, what am I supposed to say again? Trick or treat, that's it!" Snowball murmured quietly as he went up to the first house. Ringing the doorbell, he repeated the same phrase over and over again in his head so he could memorize it. However, as soon as the door opened and an old lady with a bowl full of candy walked out, his mind went completely blank.

———

His latest invention ready for action, Ozone knocked on the front door of the first house he went to. Moments later, a young man opened it up. Carrying a bowl full of candy, he declared, "Happy-" He didn't finish though when the cat headed man stuck a needle into his arm, getting a sample of his blood. The man fainted while Ozone inspected the sample. It was clear. His work done here, he went to the next house.

———

Kids screamed in terror as they ran away from the house. Watching them, Tiberius facepalmed and growled, "Kids these days, can't tell a smile from a snarl." Sitting back down on the porch swing, the bird monster gazed up at the full moon just as he heard the animatronic dragon roar in the back. A split second later, a yowl followed. What Tiberius wasn't expecting was for Hu to suddenly run out and jump on his lap. Startled at first, he was about to toss the cat off when he saw how terrified Hu was. Sighing, he gently held the scared feline while he murmured, "It's alright, I got ya..."

———

The front door opened and a teenager stepped out just as Chloe jumped down from the roof with a mighty yowl. Unfazed, the teenager gave the cat monster a lollipop and muttered sarcastically, "Happy Halloween."

———

"Here you go mister-" a little boy stated, handing out a chocolate bar to Ozone. The next thing anyone knew, the child was electrocuted. He dropped down on the floor, passed out. Stepping onto the porch, Ozone quietly pushed him back inside. Before he shut the door, he mumbled, "Sorry..."

———

"Coming," the woman called, hearing the doorbell ring. Grabbing the bowl of candy, she opened the door to find a humanoid cat waiting for her. The feline hissed with the fury of a hurricane. Gasping, the woman shouted, "Honey, grab the camera! We got a visit from Puss in Boots!" Huffing, Chloe muttered, "I'm not even wearing any shoes..."

———

"... I try so hard but... I don't know. I guess no one really understands me," Tiberius mumbled, lounging on the porch swing. Hu was laying on his chest, watching his face silently. Using his taloned foot to gently rock the swing, the bird monster looked down at the cat as he continued, "I wanna prove to them that I'm more than an ill tempered bird like creature from prehistoric times. But I don't know how I'm gonna do that." Blinking his blue eyes, Hu meowed. Tilting his head to the side, Tiberius murmured, "I should be more open to them? Ya know what, that could actually work." Petting Hu, he remarked, "You are a genius."

———

"Boo," Chloe grumbled as soon as the door opened. However, she didn't see any adults on the other side. Instead, there were six kids dressed up as her and her friends. Puffing her chest out pridefully, the cat monster purred, "Hey there little ones. You're dressed up like me and the rest of the Monster Squad."

"No, I'm dressed up as Chloe the Tabby Cat. You are just some scruffy old tiger with that poorly made costume," the kid dressed up as the cat monster pointed out. The one dressed up like Snowball walked up to Chloe and added, "Since when does Chloe look like an average fat cat?" Without warning, he punched her right in the gut. While the group of kids left to go trick or treating, Chloe collapsed on the ground and clutched her stomach, trying to catch her breath.

That kid sure did know how to throw a punch.
