*All the creatures of the night gather round the table, one candle getting mysteriously lit for each "la" of the final refrain.
That's 19 la's!
*Thunder crashes and lightning flashes, providing the finishing touch as we wait for Uncle D to make his wish, blow out the candles, and cut the first slice.

 

[Ruahnna]

Fozzie: (outside the door) Wow--this candy bag is really heavy!
Kermit: (edging the door open with his flipper and grunting a little with effort) I'll make a deal with you next time, Fozzie.
Fozzie: What?
Kermit: Next time--I'll carry the candy, and you carry Robin back from the Halloween party.

 

[The Count]

*Muppet ghost deposits a tray with cauldron cups filled with fizzing lymon soda, pieces of pumpkin cheesecake, and blackened red-striped candy canes for Apt 5's residents.
Consider it a final treat on this night of witchery as recompense for a well-crafted story.

 

[MuppetsFan4Life]

Ojo: *dressed as a bat (again) * Candy, candy, candy!!! *bouncing on my bed*

Tutter: *as the Mad Hatter* Can we eat some? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can we?

Me: *as Bellatrix* Guys, how much did you eat last night?

Ojo: Umm....half the bag?

Me: DOC HOGG! I told you to go through their bags while I was-

Doc Hogg: *dressed as Igor* Asleep? Yeah, I remember, but I got so excited myself, that I joined in the fun!

Me: *rolls eyes* I'll be right back... Hey, Ed! *slides come pumpkin cookies and a few chocolate bars under his door* For you and your roomies! And here's a group picture of us going trick-or-treating last night! *slides the picture under the door* I actually ran into a Sirius Black last night...talk about awkward....

 

[The Count]

*Fatatita pushes the stuff in their baggies to Uncle D.
Mmm, how defrightful. This, the photo, is going up on our wall.

*Bat leaves a few blackened red-striped candy canes at Apt 10 for T and her roomies.

You ran into a Sirius Black? At least it wasn't your hubby Rodolfus LeStrange you bumped heads with. Now that would've been awkward.

 

[The Count]

*Knocks on Apt 3's door. Hmm, dunno if anyone's home. Thought I saw the doorlight light up meaning Beth was here, but... Well, I'll just leave this here for her to find.
*Places a gift-wrapped box of pumpkin spiced cookies with a tag saying "Happy Birthday "

 

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey Cookie Monster, look here, some pumpkin spice cookies for you from Ed and his roomies
Cookie: Oh boy!
Beth: And this is from me *hands him a large cookbook with many cookie recipes and a birthday card*
Cookie: Me love this kind of book!
Beth: *hugs him* Happy birthday buddy, sorry I'm not around as much as I used to be
Cookie: It ok. Me like it when you here though.

[The Count]

*Fatatita nibbles on a black red-striped candy cane.
How did they get that color anyway?
Me: Oh, it's a special Halloween flavor... Blood black cherries. Mmm, I love that soda, too bad we haven't gotten it in ages.

Uncle D: Did you hear some people in HV already set up their holiday decorations?
Me: Must be the folks who came from Frogtown Hollow. Whenever I hear their singing, I know November and the holidays are near.
So vhat plans are there for T-Day?
Me: Well, you mister have a plane to catch to rehearse for your annual parade float appearance. That'll take care of the morning.
And once I get back, ve'll have the feast in the afternoon...
Uncle D: And finish up with a second helping of the new movie in the evening.
Me: Only because we planned it that way—and because I don't get the NFL Network on our TV to watch the Harvaugh Bowl that night.
