All of the members of the other group and the instructors were at the barn. Tien was preparing lollies for the trick-or-treaters in her rose costume, Mysie was fixing up some decorations dressed as a green-skinned witch, Gage was cleaning up the barn with a sheet over their body to look like a ghost, Kate was helping Tien in her matching bee costume, Zari was playing with Hippo and flailing her pirate sword around, and Hippo was being playfully attacked in her Jessie from Team Rocket cosplay.

The chaos group suddenly burst through the door, startling everyone and making the nerd bolt. The equestrians, in their Ghostbuster outfits, immediately noticed the 'ghost' running around.

"A ghost!" They all screamed at once, rushing to the nerd with their vacuum cleaners ready to attack. They all tackled Gage and took the sheet off to see who the ghost was.

"Gagey?" The fallen trio said at the same time.

"Precisely." Gage replied, noticing what they were all dressed up as.

"We have matching outfits!"

"Hey, you guys didn't tell me we were matching with Gage." Cassie scoffed.

"We didn't do it on purpose! This is 100% a coincidence, we promise!" Fries explained.

"May I have my costume and my ability to stand up back, please?" Gage questioned.

Alex slid the sheet back over them, and the chaotic equestrians all stood up to let Gage stand too. Some trick-or-treaters were coming up to the barn as Gage started heading to the tack room to grab a broom and clean more, when they suddenly got launched into the air with a rope tied around their ankle.

"Sweet, my trap works!" Hippo exclaimed as Gage got swung around. The rope around their ankle broke, making them slam into the front door, making the trick-or-treaters jump back slightly.

The nerd slid down the door slowly as Tien opened it for the kids.

"My apologies for that, chaps. Would you like some sweets?" Gage offered, rubbing their sore head.

"What are those?" One of the kids in a skeleton costume asked.

"... You aren't aware of what sweets are?"

"Don't worry, that unjustifiable jack-o'-lantern is a freaky British eyeball. They meant to ask if you demolished candy corns wanted some lollies." Tien said.

"Oh. Yes, we do. Trick or treat!" The kid dressed as a scarecrow said.

"Okay, here's a candy bag just for you!" Kate smiled, handing the two kids a lolly bag each. The kids stared at her weirdly.

"She's American, she means lollies too."

The kids nodded and took the bags, putting them in their trick-or-treating bags and thanking the two as they walked away to their next destination.
