TOMMY, CECE, DANIELLE AND COOKY rushed down the stairs and sat in some spots, Cece sitting on the end of the couch by Tommy.

"Ma. Ma. Mom, I really don't want you to do this." Hubie told his mother on the TV.

"Wait. What's happening?" Cece asked.

"So, everyone who wronged Hubie is tied to a tree by his mother right now, and she's pouring gas around them to...kill them." Megan guided her sister, eating a cookie.

"Oh, god!" Cece whispered.

"I know, Hubie. That's what makes you so wonderful. And that's why I have to do it." Mrs. DuBois said, "I have to make it good for you before I go."

"Before you go? To heaven?" Hubie asked.

"No. Probably going to hell, Hubie."

"In all seriousness, I think it's quite sweet that she's killing her sons bullies for him before she dies." Cece said.

The Valentine family and Megan nodded, letting out words of agreement.

Mrs. Dubois pulled out a set of matches, as the victims tied to the three let out cries.

The crazy woman lit the match up and threw it into the sticks.

"Wait, why is everything moving so slow now?" Cooky asked.

"I think it's like a suspenseful movie?" Megan suggested.

"Does it end well?" Danielle asked.

"No spoilers." Tommy said.

"NO!" Hubie cried, opening up his thermos and throwing the remains of his soup onto the match.

The soup hit the match right as it was about to go into the gasoline.

Violet let out a squeal of excitement, clapping her hands as the kids and teens watched her with a smile.

"Freeze Mrs. Dubois!" A police officer shouted, holding up his gun.

"Hold your fire until my command!" A man with very, VERY hairy arms said.

"Why did we bring them again?" Officer Steve asked Officer Blake.

"There was nobody left at the station. We had to."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mommy. This is all my fault." Hubie apologized.

"That's okay, Hubie." Mrs. Dubois assured.

"Hubie!" Landolfa shouted from his tree.

"Untie us, dummy!" Mrs. Hennessey shouted.

"Come on, you stupid dummy!" Lester said.

"Are you paying attention?!" Mike exclaimed.

"He deserves it." Cece said.

"Okay. Wow! Shame on you. Hubie just saved your lives, and you treat him like this. Can one of you tell me why?" Mrs.Dubois asked.

"Just look at him! He's so...Hubie!" Landolfa shouted.

The married couple and Mike snickered.

"Yes, he's Hubie. He's helpful. He's courteous, he's cheerful, he's considerate. What a bad, bad man! My great-great-great-great-grandmother laid down her life, trying to save innocent people."

"I was there." The hairy man commented.

"And my son just did her one better. He just save four ungrateful JACKASSES!" Mrs.Dubois exclaimed.

"Thanks, Pubie." Mike said.

"Well, you can't even thank him without insulting him!" Mrs.Dubois defended.

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I said Pubie. It just came out."

"Could it be because you feel threatened?" Mrs.Dubois asked.

The four were silent.

"I feel a lot of pressure to be cool all the time. I'm jealous of Hubie being able to be himself. I can't even get the girl of my dreams."

Mike turned his head towards the camera.

"Cecelia McNally, if you're watching this, I love you."

"Aww." Cece cooed, "I know, bud."

Megan let out a laugh.

"I lost my hair 20 years ago. And every time I walk into a room, I feel silly. Why should someone like Hubie have such a thick, luxuriant head of hair, and I look like a California raisin?" Lester whined.

"I have never felt sexually fulfilled." Mrs.Hennessey said.

"But-"

"Oh, shut up, Lester! You're usually there. You know it's true. I'm guessing...Hubie hasn't has a lot of sex."

"No mam." Hubie answered.

"Hasn't has any sex."

"Mmm." Hubie said, shaking his head no.

"But what he does have is hope. Damn him and his hope!"

Hubie did a two finger salute.

"I was diagnosed with dyslexia in the eighth grade." Landolfa admitted, "I faked for the doctors, but I'm really just dumb. I never really told anybody. You're probably all surprised!"

"No, I'm not surprised." Lester said.

"Nope."

"You surprised?" Officer Blake asked Officer Steve.

"Nah."

"But Hubie uses big words, and they come out so natural for him. It pisses me off! Oh, cause of the dumb thing." Landolfa finished.

"My brother in law once said I had no ambition. And then he bit me, and I became a werewolf." Walter said, holding up his hairy arms.

The man then howled softly.

"You see? Hubie's smart, has nice hair, and sex hope. But to me, his best quality is this. He can weather all of your insults and your thrown objects, and he responds with humor and...and kindness. Could you say the same?" Mrs.Dubois asked, "Could any of you take the abuse you dish out to my Hubie?"

Everyone was silent.

"I busted a guy for a DWI last week, and, uh...he said it was an honor to be arrested by a Muppet. I acted like I didn't hear him. But then I cried in my squad car for about half an hour." Officer Steve admitted.

"You see, Hubie. True bravery's being kind. Even to those who are being cruel to you." Mrs.Dubois said.

"I just always wanted to be as nice as you, Mom." Hubie smiled.

"Oh, you were nicer. But now I know that you're ready to spread your wings and fly without me. You don't have to be scared anymore." Mrs.Dubois assured her son.

"I'm feeling emotional." Lester said.

"And a little horny." His wife added.

"Ooh!"

"Not for you."

"Oh."

"Just know that I'll always love you. And happy Halloween." Mrs.Dubois smiled.

The old woman turned towards the moon.

"FRANKENSTEIN!"

Everyone there turned around to see the creature, but it wasn't there.

Once they turned back, Mrs.Dubois was gone.

••••

"WOW." Tommy said, as the police on the TV untied the people from the trees.

"Wow indeed." Cece said.

"This has been a magical night in Salem, Massachusetts." Tracy said.

"Excuse me. May I say something?" Hubie asked.

"Yes. Please, go ahead." Tracy smiled, handing him the mic.

"Hubie!" Violet silently cheered, as Cooky and Danielle laughed at her.

"I just want to say happy Halloween to everybody in Salem. Also, happy Valentine's Day. I'm talking to you, Violet Valentine. Well, also a little bit to your son, also, Tommy. He scored a blonde in a Christmas costume, but that's not important right now!"

"Oh my god." Tommy whispered, covering his face with his hands as Cece's cheeks turned pink.

"Also...I just broke up with my Canadian girlfriend. So, I am available."

"Oh my god!" Violet whispered.

"Miss Valentine, this is for you."

Hubie got very close to the camera.

"Hubie, do be mine." Violet said.

The blonde woman went up to the screen and pretended to be kissing Hubie, was was also pretending to be kissing her.

"Oh, wow, okay. Making out with the TV, nice." Cece said awkwardly.

"Do you want to go back in my room?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, I would very much like that." Cece said, getting up with Tommy following her.

The two went up the stairs, their siblings not paying attention to them, but having a look of disgust on their faces, and went into the boys room.

"Thank was...interesting." Cece commented.

"It sure was...something." Tommy added.

Cece sighed and sat on Tommy's bed, the boy following her.

"This has been the most fucked up Halloween ever." Cece said.

"Yeah." Tommy laughed, "I'm never forgetting this one."

The two teens sighed.

"I think Megan and I are gonna get going." Cece said.

"Oh yeah. So...see you at school?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah." Cece smiled, "At school."

The two teens got up, and Tommy opened the door for Cece, the hallway light shining into her room.

"So, happy Hallowee-"

Cece cupped Tommy's cheeks and placed a quick kiss on his lips, pulling away quickly.

The blonde smiled sweetly and tucked her gloved hands behind her back.

Tommy looked flustered.

"Sorry-"

"No, no!" Tommy said.

"If that was weird, maybe it was, cause we've only know each other for like, a month..."

Tommy looked at the flustered blonde, who was rambling on and on and making signs with her hands.

"So...I'm sorry if that was weird." Cece finished.

Tommy then went up to the blonde and hugged her softly, securing his arms around around the border of her shirt and her skirt.

"Thanks for motivating me."

Cece laughed and giggled into his shoulder, hugging him back.

"Anytime, coffee boy."

The two broke out of the hug and pecked each other's lips.

"I'll be going now, okay. For real!" Cece laughed.

Cece went to the stairs and smiled at Tommy.

"See you later, coffee boy?"

Tommy nodded.

"See you later, coffee shop gal."
