"Are you OK?" Masani, dragging across the floor the vacuum cleaner hoses she's using as pack of her Dick costume, asks Francine.
Francine sitting on the couch wearing her "The Dick Stops Here" Kitty O'Couscous t-shirt and not much else, says, "Yeah, I'm sorry. The kid in the Wolfman mask freaked me out. I flashbacked to the shooting. That was one of the masks the gunpeople wore. I think it was the woman's mask."
Francine laughs, "I probably shouldn't be answering the door dressed as Kitty O'Couscous anyway when there are kids involved. Your costume looks great though."
"Thanks," Masani says, flapping one of her noodly appendages, "It's too bad Dick had to go and change bodies on me though."
"Well, I much prefer you to him whatever body he wears. Your housemates dressing as the presidential candidates idea was great."
"Well, except for poor Donald. Aside from the combover wig we ducttaped on him, he just looks like some guy wearing a suit. At least he has Polipo's New Yawk accent down. Anyway, he took care of the kids. He probably forced them to take comic books over candy."
Donald clears his throat as he approaches, "For your information, my distinguished opponent, three of the four children chose comic books over candy. And they say that there is no hope for the future."
Masani wraps one of her vacuum cleaner hoses around Donald for a hug, but it just whacks him in the back, "Oops, sorry, honey!"
"That is OK, dear. Maybe you should turn it on. I might have some lint back there."
"Ha!" Masani says, kisses Donald, then turns to Francine, "When's Jake coming over?"
"Later. He has to help his parents handle trick or treating over there."
"What is he going to be dressed as?" Donald asks.
"Guess," Francine says.
"A wrestler," Masani says.
"Good guess. Now guess which one."
Donald straightens his wolf tie, and says, "The Waffle Warrior."
"Ding, ding, ding! You win a prize, Donald," Francine says, picking up the bowl of candy and holding it out to Donald.
Donald takes a miniature Big Turk, and says, "Thank you."
The doorbell rings.
"Trick or treat! Happy Halloween!"
