    10. Toothless' Halloween - Top

    Once upon a time, there lived a vampire family. The father, Dracula; the mother Draculette; and their son Toothless. It was a day before Halloween and Toothless was going trick-or-treating (in this case tricking because Toothless planned to scare the person and grab the candy). He was going with his friend Boneless the Skeleton and his cousin Gnager the Gnome. The group called themselves the TBG (1. Toothless 2. Boneless 3. Gnager). The road was split three ways. Toothless went one way, Boneless went one way, and the same with Gnager.

    Toothless went trick-or-treating at Franklin Funky Frankenstein's house. But, everyone called him by his first name or no name at all because he was the bully at school (Monster High). He went to the house anyways. When he scared Franklin, his dad (Frankenstein the 5th) came marching out to the door. Toothless dove under a bush. "Meddling Kids!" he yelled. He went back inside. "Yes! Score for the vampires!" Franklin had dropped all the candy.

    Boneless went trick-or-treating at Boo Baa Bee the Ghost's house. "Trick or Treat" said Boneless. "Um, let me think... should I give him a trick or a treat?" Maybe I should give him a trick. Or maybe I'll let him off easy with a treat... but I'm out of candy so trick. BOO!" Boneless quickly ran as fast as his little legs could carry him to the circle at the end of the road where the TBG would meet.

    Gnager went trick-or-treating at Tummy the Mummy's house. Tummy was the most nice person or mummy in this neighborhood. Gnager unfortunately didn't know this. "Trick or Treat" said Gnager. "How many gallons of candy-" she didn't get to finish her sentence because Gnager had already scared her. Mommy Mummy came walking to the door. "Hello?" she said. All she saw was Gnager at another house. So she went back inside. Gnager went running down the road.

    When they saw an old house, all but Gnager thought it was a witch house. Gnager knew it was his aunt's house. Gnager went inside the house. Toothless got scared out of his wits. Boneless, since he didn't have any, went with Gnager. Toothless went too because he didn't want to be left alone. "Hello Auntie" said Gnager. There was no reply. They all saw an old women offering them monster money. "Let's take it!" Gnager said. They were about to take it when they fell down a trap door! When they got to the bottom they saw fields of candy. "None or this is for me. I only drink that old fashion stuff"

    They saw a half red and half green button on the wall. Boneless pushed it. Three transporters appeared and they each went in one. The transporters went to their homes. They each had a warm welcome by their kind and loving families. The end. - Updated: November 2, 2001
