Charlie was looking through his phone when he heard familiar laughter coming from the staircase.

"Here they come." He said as he felt rumbling coming from above.

"BOW WAKKA WOW!!!" Dolly yelled out her signature catchphrase and slid down the railing before jumping off and performing a summer sault, landing on her feet and running to the living room, where she jumped into Charlie's lap.

"Well, hi, Dolly." He greeted her, to which she smiled.

"Hi, Charlie." She greeted back when the familiar tsunami of black and white spots stampede in and buried both Charlie and Dolly underneath them. After a few minutes of digging, both Dolly and Charlie popped their heads out and laughed.

"I can see you, and the pups are super excited." He said as Dolly pulled herself out from the puppy pile.

"Well, duh, do you know what today is?" She asked him, to which he pondered.

"Hmmmm... is it... Halloween?" He asked which Dolly tail began to wag with excitement, and she smiled.

"That's right!" She answered.

"But you can't eat any candy. It's not meant for dogs."

"No, bro, it's that time we get to tell spooky stories. And so far, you're like 2 and with stories."

"Well, that's true."

"So, can you tell us spooky stories?"
"Yeah, tell us spooky stories!" Dizzy and DeeDee begged, jumping up and down, to which Charlie chuckled and shook his head.

"What's going on?" Dylan asked as he and Dawkins entered the living room.

"Oh, not much Dyl, just Charlie here was gonna tell us another round of awesome spooky tale." Dolly said, which Charlie smiled.

"Well, this should be good." Dylan said. However, Dawkins rolled his eyes.

"Another line of quote, unquote, 'spooky' stories?"

"Hey, it's a tradition, Dawkins." Charlie said with a smile, "And I got three good ones to share this time." He said, but Dawkins shook his head.

"I find them completely fictional." He said to which Dolly gave him an angry look.

"Gee bro, way to kill the mood."

"Well, we'll see if you still think that by the end of the night."

"I agree. What's the first story?"

"Hang on a micro minute, Dawkins. I've gone an extra level with presenting these stories." He said as he picked up a small bag where a Vcr was pulled out along with three VHS tapes,  all with the title written on them with a black sharpie.

"What are those?"

"VHS tapes." He answered with a smile as he set it up on the telly, "I told you, I went all out with this one. So... without further ado... let's pop this guy in and see." He said as he put the VHS tape into the Vcr and pressed play. First, the TV went static, but soon, the familiar buzzing noise began for the title popped up.

(Charlie is in human form)

Music could be heard as many cameramen were shown pushing and shoving each other, trying to get a picture of Triple D who were walking back to their limo.

"Triple D,  over here!"
"Give us those money-making eyes!"
"The camera loves you, girls!" Some of the cameramen yelled out as security made a man-made barrier around Triple D in order to keep the cameramen at bay until they reached their limo where the driver opened the door for them to jump in. Once the door was closed, the cameramen tried their best to get their attention, but the trio put on their sunglasses and began their travel back to their home.
