The Fright Night activities began, but Biggie was having a hard time having fun since he was still terrified and came up with paranoid reasons to not join in.
They started with a game of pin the tail on the Growl Beast.
Trollex went first.
The blindfold was put on and he was spin around until he was real good and dizzy.
He was able to get the tail a few inches away from the target.
Trollex spoke in pirate talk, "Aargh! Try 'n match that, ye scurvy scallawags!"
Everyone did their best, but no one reached the target.
When it was Biggie's turn to put on the blindfold, he said, "What if I can't see and run away if something scary comes after me?"
Delta said, "It's alright, sweetie. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do."
For bobbing for apples, Biggie was worried about some scary monster appearing while his head was deep in the water.
And for the candy, Biggie was worried about his mouth being glued shut by chewing taffy and not being able to scream for help.
It didn't take long for him to notice, "Oh. We've barely started the fun and I'm already taking the fun out of it."
Smidge said, "Not all of it."
Branch said, "Just like 90-"
Poppy put her hand over his mouth.
Biggie then said, "I really want to do this, but there's just so many thing sthat terrify me about tonight. I can't possibly predict what might upset me."
Poppy thought and then said, "Unless...you were the one doing the scaring."
Barb snickered, "Him? Scaring us?"
Everyone glared at her, so she stopped.
Biggie realized it might be worth a shot, so he told them to come to his pod in one hour.
***
An hour passed.
They entered the pod.
Biggie could be heard saying in a scary voice, "Welcome to Biggie's tea party."
Smidge asked, "Did he say 'tea party'?"
Poppy said, "Sounds like it's a scary tea party?"
"Please...have a seat."
Everyone did just that.
"Don't be scared of what awaits you. Delta Dawn, pass the sugar."
But, there was nothing in the sugarbowl.
"Oh, no! You have none! You're a terrible host!"
Everyone was more confused than scared.
"Queen Essence, put your coat on."
She asked, "Why?"
"You need to cover up...because no one has complimented your dress!"
"King Trollex, look to your left and ask your best friend to pass the cucumber sandwiches."
Trollex said, "Huh? I can't. There's no one there."
"That's right! Because he didn't care to show up!"
Trollex was all, "Whaaaat?"
"A friend who didn't come through! That must scare you to the core! Quick, everyone, look behind you!"
Some hanging pictures fell down.
Branch asked, "Uh...what are those?"
"Unplanned guests! Your worst nightmare! You don't have enough food for them!"
He then threw a toy kitty critter onto the table.
"Oh, no! There's a kitty critter in need of a home! But, you're too busy with other things! You don't have time to help!"
Biggie was revealed to be behind his sofa, "This should appear to scare you!"
Biggie then looked at them and asked, "Why aren't you terrified? You host a bad tea party and everyone is disappointed in you! Can you imagine anything more horrifying?"
Barb answered, "Really anything-"
Poppy elbowed her.
Queen Essence said, "It was a really nice try, honey, but the scares of Fright Night are of an entirely different nature."
Biggie then said, "Maybe I'm just not cut out for this. You should all just continue the night without me."
They insisted on staying, but Biggie insisted more that they go have fun.
They finally agreed to go.
Biggie said to Mr. Dinkles, "I suppose I could've gone with something scarier."
"Meep."
"You're right. I have been taking baby steps. Well, now it's time to take grown-up ones. Any ideas on how to do that?"
Mr. Dinkles put a look of mischief on his face.
