We all walk away from Mike's house as we see Will and Jonathan pull up.

"Hey!" Dustin shouts.

Will runs up to us holding a video camera.

"Hi, Will!" I say as he reaches us.

"Trick or treat!" We all shout as a woman opens her door.

"Well aren't you cute? The little exterminators."

I stifle a laugh as she drops a few pieces of candy into each of our bags.

As we walk away I dig through my pink pillow case until I dig up what she dropped in. "Cool! She gave me a snickers!"

"Lucky." Mike says.

"If I get another 3 musketeers I'm gonna kill myself." Lucas grunts.

Dustin turns to him, "what's wrong with 3 musketeers?"

"No one likes 3 musketeers." Mike states.

El likes them, I think to myself.

"Yeah," Will agrees. "It's just nougat."

"Woah 'just nougat'?" Dustin questions. "Its top three for me."

I turn to him in shock. "Uh-uh, no way!"

"Top three?" Lucas exclaims.

"Top three!" Dustin states.

"Oh god." Mike starts, "give me a break."

"Seriously, I can just eat a whole bowl of nougat. Straight up." Dustin raves.

"Hey Lucas, can I have your 3 musketeers?" I ask.

Lucas's eyes go wide, "oh no, not you too!"

"No, no way!" I exclaim, trying to think of a lie. "I think there gross. It's my uh-my dad's coworkers kid. He's sick. My dad asked if I could bring him home some candy. He really likes nougat."

Lucas reaches into his pillow case and pulls out seven, "here you can have them all."

"Thanks-"

Just then a figure in a mask jumps up in front of us and we all start screaming.

The figure starts to laugh, and then they take off their mask.

"Holy shit! You should have seen the look on your faces." Max exclaims and then points at Dustin, "and you? Who screams like that? You sound like a little girl!"

She starts to walk away and I just look at her in utter confusion.

"Hey, you guys coming?" She asks. "Oh, I heard we should hit up Loch Nora. That's where the rich people live, right?"

Dustin and Lucas turn to each other, "yeah!"

Then they both run after her trailing Will along with them.

I turn to Mike. "What just happened?"

He just sighs and grabs my hand, beginning to walk after them all.

"Another full size!" Dustin exclaims. "Like seriously? Rich people are such suckers."

I turn away from them and fall back in line with Will and Mike. Will's still holding his camera. He's been recording the whole night, which I think is pretty cool.
