Smartie loved Halloween. He got to see his family and take his three younger siblings trick-or-treating. Everyone would assume the little monsters were ordinary kids in werewolf costumes, one with added antenae and a smart phone hanging from his belt.

Smartie thought it was amusing that the cubs would always line up, the youngest Candice in front, Wolfgang in the middle, and Moon, the quiet, shy one, in the back. Actually, it kind of fit their personalities. Candi was not a brat but she could be forceful. The little changeling was very much like their father, she even laughed like him. Wolfgang was eager, yet considerate, keeping an eye on his younger sister and trusting his twin to her own judgement. Moon was the quietest kid in Area Fifty-Something, always at the edge of the group, never saying much. When Smartie looked through all the medical databases and matched Moon's traits with symptoms of disabilities, it alarmed him. Luna, however, insisted Moon would be okay, and since she was a medic Smartie trusted her judgement.


When Wiggles and Bob went trick-or-treating, it was the opposite of the Cockroach family's orderliness. Wiggles was constantly chasing after his father, warning him to behave or he would tell mom. Yet when the two monsters approached a house, Bob would forget his line, leaving Wiggles to collect. After a few hours of barely contained chaos, father and son would sit on the curb and enjoy their spoils.


Link's newly reunited family went house-to-house together. Link and Stella watched as Sander led his tiny sister Alexena by the hand to each door and call "Trick or treat! Smell my feet!" Most people were amazed at the strange, creative costumes of the little family, giving baby Alex extra candy. Only having her two vampiric fangs, she was too young to gum through most of the candy, "sharing" it with her dad. After trick-or-treating, Link would look after Alex while Stella took Sander flying through the dark skies in an effort to scare people. It often worked.


Susan, Hunter and the kids often spent Halloween at the Murphy's house. Ty and Callie loved the spooky decorations and the mountains of candy and seeing Gramma and Granpa. Ty would even remember to snag some extra treats for the alien kids who were not allowed to leave the secret base.

When everyone returned home, the grownups would take turns telling scary stories about monsters, ghosts, and strange happenings. Stella, being the oldest, knew the most stories. Luna teasingly called the vampire "the Queen of Halloween."
