[Video - entirely too much candy.]

[punchtheflute]

[It's a phone video from Sonny Moe! He waves at the camera.]

So! I was saving money to buy a car this year! But then, I thought, maybe that money could be used for something better. Something to help cheer everyone up, maybe? Because I know people are scared of the moon and stuff, even though King Bowser's going to have that all under control! So, I was like, what will make everyone happier? Then I remembered it's after Halloween, sooooo...

[And lo, he swivels the camera around to show a MOUNTAIN of candy sitting in an unused classroom.]



Yeah, you guessed it! I spent pretty much my life savings on super discounted Halloween candy to share with you all! I'm in the old Algebra classroom because I thought maybe it was time something fun happened in there! Come and get whatever you like!

OK, bye!!

Yay! NOW It's a candy party!

Action!

[Jolt bolted for the Algebra classroom in Jolteon form as fast as his legs could carry him.

When he arrived.

He dove head-first into the mountain of candy.]

Re: Action!

[punchtheflute]

Haha! Hi, Jolt! It's good to see you!

[Sonny was sitting cross-legged in a patch of sunlight, surrounded by a snowdrift of foil and paper wrappers.]

Enjoy as much as you want! I wanted to do something to make the school a little happier, so, please! Enjoy yourself!

Re: Action!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Sonny, you are a great friend, my man.

[His head finally poked out of the mound, with a chocolate bar sticking out of his mouth.]

Re: Action!

[punchtheflute]

I do my best!!

[He grabbed a little bag of M&Ms, tearing it open and depositing the colorful little guys in his mouth.]

Hopefully Max won't be too mad that I'm waaaaaaay deviating from my meal plan this week. I think that just in case me and Bowser CAN'T save the world? I want to go out knowing that I ate way more candy than I probably should of eaten.

Re: Action!

[rivalthunderbolts]

[Jolt quickly swallowed the candy bar, spitting out the wrapper.]

Hey. It's SO not the end of the world. Bowser or not, we're getting through this! You just gotta keep believing!

Re: Action!

[punchtheflute]

Probably!

[He'd done his best to convince Riwane of the same thing at the Halloween party. That didn't mean he didn't have his own doubts.]

I hope so!

Re: Action!

[rivalthunderbolts]

[Well, sure, he had his own lingering doubts, but he had faith, and that was more important.]

Hope is all we've got, so if we run out of that, then we're REALLY in trouble.

Re: Action!

[punchtheflute]

Hope and candy.

[Don't forget the candy, Jolt.]

Re: Action!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Right. We just gotta hold on to our hopes and candies, and we'll be fine!

Re: Action!

[punchtheflute]

Fair enough!

[He said before shoving another handful of unwrapped candies in his face.]

Re: Action!

[rivalthunderbolts]

So what are you doing with yourself lately? When you're not buying up all the candy you can, I mean!

Re: Action!

[punchtheflute]

Still just doing normal things! Playing my ukulele, working for Bowser, spending time with Vinnie when he's not busy and cooking! Also, helping clean up rubble and garbage from when the mountain creature stormed through here.

[He shuddered a little. That whole mess still had him a little rattled.]

Re: Action!

[rivalthunderbolts]

That's good. Life goes on even in the face of adversity. I'm trying to keep on keeping on much as I can. It's tough trying to keep peoples' spirits up though.

Re: Action!

[punchtheflute]

Exactly! So, I thought candy would help. Everyone loves candy!

Re: Action!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Yep. Kinda wish I could do more to help, though... But this just seems so much bigger than I am, in more ways than one. Like... What else can I do?

Re: Action!

[punchtheflute]

Maybe you should come and help me enlarge Bowser's growth area!

It begins again

[rivalthunderbolts]

...Enlarge his WHAT now?

The gift that keeps on giving

[punchtheflute]

His growth area! It gets big when you're inside him and touch it! It's a sensitive organ and I'm going to be leading a team to touch it so he can get big and push the moon away!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Is that a real thing, or is he just messing with you?

[punchtheflute]

King Bowser has an AMAZING sense of humor! It's very dry - some people take it the wrong way, even. But he wouldn't joke about something this serious. Saving everyone is his top priority!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Not sure I buy that. But you know what? I'll help. SOMEONE'S gotta keep you out of trouble.

[punchtheflute]

You will!?Oh, that's so cool! I bet His Burliness is excited to know we'll have more helpers!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Nuts to him. I'm only doing this because you're my buddy.

[punchtheflute]

Aw, you're my buddy too!
