Imagine losing track of time as badly as I did🎃

If there was something all the criminals of the world could agree on, it would be this: Halloween was the perfect time for home burglary.

You sit in Raymond's garden, innocuous underneath your clever bush disguise, and well aware of this fact.

You had been watching Raymond through the leaves of your outfit for an hour now, and he hadn't even noticed you yet! Either he was blind (he didn't have his glasses on, did he??) or you were just that good at cosplaying foliage. You like to think it's the latter, for it makes you feel rather important.

Though you made a good bush, you were starting to get bored. You had been sitting there for years, yet Raymond still didn't seem to be planning on leaving his home anytime soon.

Frustrated, you sigh. Maybe this was a sign that you shouldn't rob from him again. After all, lightning didnt strip twice...or something like that.

Just as you begin to consider leaving, your salvation arrives in the form of a familiar purple cat.

You watch creepily from afar as Bob bounds up Raymond's path, a pointy hat sitting on his head. When he stops in front of the door, his knock is loud enough for you to hear, even from across Raymond's huge lawn.

The door slams open instantly, and Bob cries out as a gallon of water is dumped on him.

As he curses, Raymond sticks his head through the door, his eyes wide as the pail of water he had been carrying clatters to the floor.

"B-Bob??" He asks, his face panicked. "I'm so sorry! I thought you were a Child."

Bob shakes his head as he wipes at his face furiously.

"Pthhhpth, so you go around dumping water on kids every Halloween???"

You spot a second pail of water next to Raymond's feet, which he attempts to hide behind him. It tips over.

As the water soaks into the wooden porch, Raymond rubs his neck nervously.

After an awkward pause, he asks,  "Did...Did you need something?"

Suddenly cheerful again, Bob nods excitedly.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go trick-or-treating with me!"

Raymond blinks, apparently taken aback by thr request. Despite of this, he smiles.

"Sure."

"Cool! Hey, I like what you've done with the place," Bob says, his voice suddenly loud. "I especially like that bush you have on your lawn."

Your stomach grows cold. Did he...know?

No.

You refused to believe it. You were too good at this game, there was no way Bob knew you were the impostor...

Unless...

Raymond peers over Bob's hat to look right at you.

...they knew.

Before you can press your emergency self-destruct button, Raymond shrugs.

"I was going to insert the wikipedia article about Geroge W Bush here, but I don't want to risk getting sued,"  he says, before shutting his door and leading Bob down towards the gate of the black gates encircling his property.

The instant the two cats disappear into the night, the bush next to you grows legs and begins to dart towards the front door.

You scream in surprise, and the bush screams as well before losing its balance and toppling over.
