Tonight was a special holiday; Fright Night.

It was a night of dressing up in costumes, getting candy, pulling tricks, and being scared for fun.

Everyone loved Fright Night...except for one Troll.

***

In Biggie's pod, he was scare-proofing the place.

He asked, "Mr. Dinkles, do you think we're all set to survive this horrible night?"

"Meep."

"*Gasp*Oh, no! I forgot to stock up on your food, Mr. D!"

"Meep."

Biggie then started to get nervous, "Of course...that does mean I'll have to go out...on Fright Night!"

***

Biggie went out and was horrified by a lot of things, like the hanging spiders, the jack-o-lanterns, hanging skeletons, even the kids dressed like monsters.

He turned and saw something facing him.

It was a live skeleton!

"Ahh!"

"Biggie?"

It was actually Branch wearing a skeleton costume.

Biggie was relieved, "Oh. Hello, Branch."

Branch was confused, "Biggie, what are you doing out here? I thought you didn't like Fright Night."

"I know, Branch. It's just that..."

Branch then got excited, "Does this mean what I think it means?"

Biggie answered in a question, "That I foolishly forgot to stock up on food for Mr. Dinkles and needed to get some."

Branch was slightly disappointed, "Oh...I thought you were gonna spend the night with us."

"Goodness, no! I couldn't be out tonight. I just couldn't."

Branch then said, "But, you're already out here now. So, what if you stayed out a little longer with your friends? I know they'd be super excited."

"You think so?"

"It would make them so happy if you joined in. They wouldn't believe their eyes. What do you say?"

Biggie thought about it.

***

In the Fun Dungeon, Poppy, the Snack Pack, and the other leaders were telling scary stories.

Trollex finished his,

"Then, the old Techno Troll asked 'Who's got my rusty bracelet'?"

Smidge said, "Not me."

Trollex suddenly appeared behind them!

"YOU DO!"

Everyone shouted, then sighed and chuckled.

Poppy said, "Great story, Trollex! So original!"

Just then, Branch and Biggie came in.

Poppy asked, "Biggie? What are you doing here...on Fright Night?"

Queen Essence asked, "Is everything alright?"

Once Biggie explained that he feels he's ready to try Fright Night, everyone was excited because this would the first Fright Night they could all attend together.

Poppy said, "Ok. Well, we just finished telling scary stories. Next, we'll get into our costumes, play some games, do some trick-or-treating, and try out that new haunted house."

Everyone cheered, but Biggie just gave a nervous smile.

***

The girls stepped out of the dressing rooms first.

Poppy was dressed as an angel.

Barb was dressed as a vampire.

Delta was dressed like a scarecrow.

Queen Essence was dressed as a flapper.

DJ Suki was dressed as a hippie.

Smidge was dressed as a ninja.

And the twins were wearing the same dresses as the Grady twins.

Satin said, "Nice idea, sis. Dressing up in fashion from the last couple of decades is great."

Then, the boys stepped out.

King Quincy was dressed as a 50's greaser.

Trollex was dressed as a pirate captain.

Trollzart was dressed as a panda.

Cooper and D were both dressed as disco dancers.

Guy Diamond was dressed like a kangaroo and Tiny as his joey.

Branch said, "Great costumes, you guys."

Poppy then asked, "Hey, where's Biggie?"

Biggie stepped out...wearing a black shirt.

Smidge asked, "Uh...Biggie, where's your costume?"

Biggie answered, "I don't think I'm ready for big costumes just yet, so I'll just be Biggie with a change of wardrobe."

Everyone was ok with whatever made him comfortable.
