Page Twenty-Eight

Saturday arrives and the crew at Trick or Treat get everything set up for another game. The audience is very excited and everyone is dressed in a costume. Bulk whispers to Skull it's time to win as they walk to their seats. He reminds Skull, if you want to win you have to cheat. One of the crew members overhears the word cheat and gives them a suspicious look before getting back to work. The show starts and the announcer states, okay everyone, it's time to play! The audience shouts trick or treat! The audience applauds and hollers as the excitement builds. The host, Monty, steps in front of the audience, still combing his hair. He tells the audience, good to see you, before going to stand behind a podium. Monty starts the game by welcoming their two contestants. First, the lovely and beautiful princess Kimberly Hart! Kimberly excitedly gets up and goes over to a podium set up for the contestants. The audience cheers and clap. Kimberly's friends hold up signs cheering her on. Monty continues, and secondly, recently escaped from detention, Eugene Skullovitch! Skull quickly gets up and goes to the podium next to Kimberly. Bulk gets up and excitedly claps and cheers for his friend. He looks around and realizes no one else is cheering for Skull and stops. Excited, Skull says hi mom to the camera. Monty explains the rules of the game, all the while flossing his teeth. Each of you takes turns asking me trick questions. If you manage to trick me, you will be awarded pumpkin points. The player with the most pumpkin points at the end of the game wins. And today's fabulous prize is a brand new car. Kimberly jumps up and down and Skull screams in excitement. Monty starts the game. Mr. Skullovitch, you won the coin toss so you get to ask me the first question. Skull is surprised and without thinking replies, I do? The buzzer sounds and Monty gleefully answers, yes you do! Monty laughs as Skull realizes how easily he has been tricked. Monty tells him I got you, no pumpkin points for you. Monty states, and now we move on to Kimberly. Kimberly asks, can you tell me the identities of the Power Rangers? Monty is stumped. Monty tries to think of an answer. Skull is not happy and he glances over at Kimberly. The announcer states Kimberly gets a pumpkin point. Kimberly is very excited. The audience and Kimberly's friends cheer and applaud. Monty is a bit disgruntled. So big deal. You got me and you got a pumpkin point. Kimberly gives Skull a mocking look and he glares back at her. Monty states, now let's see if you can pick up three more points by playing our Wicked Wheel of Misfortune game. Kimberly walks over to the Wheel of Misfortune. Monty and his assistant strap Kimberly onto the wheel. Kimberly is excited and a bit nervous. The crowd, except Bulk, cheers her on. Monty spins the wheel and Kimberly screams. Kimberly successfully completes the Wheel of Misfortune game and gains three more pumpkin points. Monty tells Skull it's now his turn to try and trick him. Glancing at Bulk several times, Skull asks Monty what is my best friend's scam? Skull quickly changes scam to name. Monty is surprised that Skull has a friend, which allows Skull to gain a pumpkin point. Monty announces that Skull gets to play Wicked Web of Disaster game. Skull laughs with delight as the audience cheers. Skull is standing in front of the Wicked Web of Disaster with Monty and his assistant. Skull is feeling very confident. Monty explains the rules. The object of this game is to collect three bugs in ten seconds. If you can also manage to get out of the web before the spider gets you. Skull leaps into the web and quickly climbs up. Skull grabs two bugs before the spider sprays him with white goo. Skull screams in frustration as the audience laughs. Monty exclaims, now we're having fun! Skull is given a towel and he wipes the goo from his face. Monty asks Kimberly if she really thinks she can trick him again? Kimberly grins until she glances over at her friends. They are pointing to their communicators. Kimberly understands and immediately comes up with an idea. Skull is puzzled when Kimberly wanders onto the stage. Kimberly spins around and then dramatically announces, I don't feel so good. Kimberly "faints". Jason, Zack, Billy, and Trini run onto the stage and surround their friend. Kimberly lifts her head briefly and gives them a wink. Billy tells Monty that the stage lights were too much for her. Zack, Billy, Trini, and Jason help Kimberly up and guide her off the stage. Bulk gets very excited as he shouts this means that Skull has won the car by default. Skull starts laughing. Bulk spins onto the stage as Skull races towards him. Bulk and Skull dance together as they excitedly shout, we won! We won the car! Audience members start to leave. Later, Kimberly and Tommy are standing outside the Youth Center, when Bulk and Skull drive up to them in the car. Skull asks Kimberly if she wants to take a ride in his brand new car. Bulk reminds him it's our brand new car. Kimberly replies, dream on Skull. A woman approaches the car and tells them to get out. Bulk asks her, what do you mean? The woman introduces herself as representative of network's standards and practices. We reviewed your episode of Trick or Treat and discovered you and Bulk were cheating. The car goes back to the network. Skull comments, we've been busted Bulkie Boy as they get out of the car. The woman gets into the car as Bulk stands against the car, unaware that part of his costume is stuck inside the car door. Kimberly and Tommy watch the whole thing with amusement. Skull feels a little sad as he watches the woman drive the car away. Suddenly Bulk is spinning in circles as his costume unravels. Bulk spins out of control and knocks Skull to the pavement as he falls down. Kimberly and Tommy laugh. Tommy comments, well I guess you win some, you lose some. Kimberly adds, trick or treat guys!
