Scooter has never been more exhausted in their life, they are only at about 100% energy.
The hyperactive pizza pup went all out with their costume, The top part of which includes:
An absurdly large chef's hat, which was rigorously tightened after impeding Scoots eyesight repeatedly
A… wooden ladle sticking out of it? That's not where it's supposed to be
A bit of a scrappy bakers outfit, shoddily reading "oVen c:" on their chest
Why oven? Now comes the good part
On their belly, they mounted a self made, fully functional, not exactly safe oven! While it may not have much height, it fully fits for any pizza and as long as Scoot doesn't jump around too much, lunch can be served! Though it's not easy, as the only settings are an on and an off button…Nevertheless, if you don't question the ethics of it, Scoot has made a wonderful costume/device to woo any homestayer they encounter, giving out their own treats if need be.
And so it went! As Scoot meandered Starlight City, the people at home giving out treats were delighted, so much so that they accepted the slightly burnt and smudged pizza slices without a third thought, giving sometimes even more sweets in return! In the following hour, they stumbled upon a pretty ominously large estate, not to be daunted though, they knocked and knocked on the door to what both sides didn't know would seemingly become a fated encounter.
"HI"
"TRICK OR TREAT"
"HI YES"
"T-"
This went on for another few minutes, Scooter met Butterscotch. Now, nothing could stop this bundle of energy from creating chaos. The brightly coloured, tiny yet vibrant pup was ecstatic about finally meeting their match. sharing pizzas and candies, the strangers; soon turned kin immediately went to scheming a prank.
"SO WHAT IF"
"YES YES YES"
"I KNOW RIGHT"
"WAIT I FORGOT TO ASK WHAT WE'RE EVEN DOING"
For their grand plan, Butter and Scoots decided to swap roles for the night! Having butter as the trick or treater and Scoot as, well, Butter. This won't really be an easy task as Cyro is over for now but what do they have to lose anyway? Butter dons on the ovenfit, stumbling around a bit as they're shorter than Scoot, though still managing to get it all going!
Surprisingly, Scoot's new role would be the hard part, they hastily tried to make a tail out of noodles and cardboard, then off they went!
It's Breezy, the pizza is…. Cheesy. Butter is stumbling through the streets with their apparatus and doing their best to earn some sweets, not taking care whether their visits work out or not, as they forgot to take a bag to hold the candy with, resulting in their bounties being stored in the oven.
It's cheesy, Scoot is now responsible for handing out the treats, though it hasn't been going great, Butters home supply is only depleting with each visitor. As the last candy cane gets given over, she pitifully reserves to start giving out their hard earned candy. Sad as it may be, she's just a little nervous to rummage around the house for treats!
The treats ran out…
So the oven idea didn't go all too great, what was a pizza heating/baking device now smells of burnt sugar, fat and is oozing out of the ends, this is bad and butter does not feel good about it at all ): the last person they tried to visit just said "pee-ew!" and shut the door which isn't nice at all. Defeated, it may be time to head back home, hopefully Cyro hasn’t found Scooter yet, that could be worrisome…
Rummage rummage, Scoot has found her way to the kitchen, clumsily opening cabinets and scrounging for some omnoms. Well, she was until someone did not find it as fun as he does:
“WHO THE”
“HELL ARE YOU!?”
This must be the Cyro guy butter told em about!
“nononono you’re in my damn, well, Cereal’s house and look like you’re covered in their remains and can’t”
“BLEHHH”
What a bore, Scoot also doesn’t know how to explain this situation so she’s just electing not to, which is totally fair. Continuing to seek out the treats.
“Ugh ok would you listen if I actually told you who i w-”
“NOPE”
This situation is really bad, they don’t know what to do but to keep exploring the same drawers, Cyro will probably call the, the police on them! It’s all very overwhelming
“BWAHHHH”
Butter’s back and NOT happy about it, but what is there to do, at least they can calm down from the troubles at home right?
“YOU HAVE NOTHING HERE”
“YOU HAVE EXPLAINING TO DO STILL”
“GUYS GUYS GUYS”
Oh what’s all this then, Butter storms to the kitchen to find Scoot inside of the top tea drawer, curled up and scared, the makeshift tail nearly torn apart and Cyro trying to reach them but not being able to (how did she get up there?)
“OK so, THEYY were trick or treating to us but then we had the idea that we swap the uh roles around so that i OW”
A bit of the horrifying pizza candy liquid dripped onto Butter’s paw, which hurt a lot since they forgot to turn off the oven (they didn’t really forget it, the whirling of the Oven’s machinations just made their brain happy). Cyro, seemingly giving up on trying to make sense of the situation, goes to help Butter out.
“SO WHAT NOW”
Scoot ungently falls down and eyes their company, unsure how to end the night, until Butter unfortunately gets an idea.
“Well I look horrifying right now”, they gesture at the wrecked costume. “So do you!” And they’re right, the Butter… outfit, which already started scuffed, wasn’t any better now. “We could go trick or treating together!”
“Whoah whoah whoah I don't trust you two to go by yourself.. wait whoah whoah WHOAH what are you doi-!?”
SPLASH
During their scrounging session, Scoots DID find a lot of paint, for some reason. Picking up a small green bucket, they launched it at Cyro without a second thought
“OK! YOU’RE ZOMBIE NOW”
Disgruntled but accepting, Cyro picks up a basket, ready to go trick or treating as a trio of zombified versions of whatever they’re supposed to be. Perhaps it will do all of them better to restart the night, but together!
