Harmony Halloween Special
Four pages long, with sprites of the four in the costumes. Picky should be on the last page.
Page 1
A panel for the title, with a backdrop of Fiveton at night. We go down to see a group of Fiveton students dressed in costumes. Then Tracy pulls up in her old, beaten up car. She is dressed as a witch and honks the horn a few times. The rest of the gang comes out. Lydia comes first, dressed as a cat. Dad is behind her. Then come Kang, dressed as a black rabbit, dragging behind Ling, dressed as a panda.
Dad
Have fun, Lydia. I hope you enjoy your costume. If you want to adjust it at all, the program is on your
watch…
Lydia
You designed it just fine, Dad. See you later.
Tracy (out her window)
Hey, where's Picky?
Lydia
Dunno. Is this vehicle safe, Tracy?
Tracy
Sure it is! It hasn't broken down for a whole month.
Lydia gets in the back.
Lydia
If you say so.
Tracy looks back at Kang and Ling as they get in.
Tracy
Cute costumes, you two.
Ling
Kang wanted to be a scorpion but Mom didn't want to make a costume with that many legs.
Kang
And then she makes me take her with me! "Western culture will expand her mind, blah, blah blah…"
Ling
Isn't Kang just the cuuutest thing?
Kang
Ugh…
One panel flashback of Hyan pinching Kang's cheeks as he's dressed up.
Hyan
Aren't you just the cuuutest thing?
We then see Kang's displeasure.
Picky comes running up to Tracy, not in costume.
Tracy
Picky, there you are! Where's your costume?
Picky
*huff huff* I'm still working on it. I think you'll be really impressed!
Tracy
You're still making it? We'll be late for Paula's Halloween party!
Picky
You go on without me, Trace. I just got some finishing touches to do. I'll get there on my bike. Twoson
is only ten minutes away, anyway.
Tracy
Well, okay…
Lydia
What are you going as?
Picky (smile)
The coolest, most realistic zombie you'll ever see.
Page 2
Tracy is driving along a dark road.
Ling
That weirdo sure had a strange look on his face.
Kang
Ling, why do you insult everyone?
Ling *shrugs*
I dunno.
Lydia
Picky did seem a little excited…
Tracy
Yeah, well, he's been looking forward to this Halloween. He wants to prove that he can make a good
costume.
Lydia
So… what's he been all the other times?
A series of three photographs on the next row, using the same growing up designs as before except for the last ones of them as seniors. They always have bags for the candy. On the first, Tracy is dressed as a puppy and Picky as a bedsheet ghost with only one eye. Tracy looks excited. On the next, Tracy is a princess and is looking over at Picky with a dull expression. Picky's ghost costume now has three eyes and a huge rip in one spot. On the last, Tracy is goth and looks really disappointed at Picky. One of his arms is exposed, there are holes everywhere, and the sheet is stained and yucky.
Tracy
Um, a ghost…
Ling
Ghosts are lame. If I ever saw a ghost, I'd be all like "Go away no one wants you here, and you're a
jerk for sticking around and haunting people."
Kang
Ling… you are so annoying.
Ling
Be quiet, bunny! (bops with lollipop)
Lydia
Well, here's hoping Picky doesn't embarrass himself too much…
On the next row, Picky is in a dark work place/garage. He has a torch with blue flame already coming out and his mask his down.
Picky
They all said I would never make a good costume!
And then they called me crazy when I acted all crazy at them and told them I could!
But now they'll see… they'll all see!
Suddenly the lights come on. We see Picky's dorky roommate at the door.
Dork
Um, Picky, I think I left my pocket protector in here, could you—
Picky
Get out, man! Can't you see I'm working in here! Leave this place, you fool!
Dork
I'll… just get it later.
Dork closes the door.
On the last row of the page, Tracy's car's engine is smoking and it's on the side of the road near a "welcome to Twoson" sign. Tracy is working on the engine. Lydia is leaning out of the window while Kang and Ling are sitting on top of the car.
Tracy
Hold on guys, I can fix this…
Ling
This is lame. Why is Tracy's car so lame?
Kang (all creepy like)
You know, Ling… In these woods, it's said that a monster with razor blades for teeth, stingers for ears,
and mouths for eyes lurks and gets people who come to close!
Ling just stares at him for a panel.
Ling
That's dumb. But at least the monster would look better than you.
Kang sighs and rolls his eyes.
Page 3
Tracy's car pulls up to Polestar Preschool. They get out and look around at the outside decorations.
Tracy
Well, we lost about twenty minutes back there, but at least we made it.
Lydia
So this party thing has become a tradition or something?
Tracy
Yeah, Paula's family has been hosting it for years.
They go up to the door and open it. The next row is the big, cool one for this special. As the gang walks in, we see the classroom full of costumed people, a lot of whom are dressed like video game characters. Of course, avoid any logos/symbols on the costumes so we don't get sued! Appearing are Jade from BGaE, Samus, King DeDeDe (apple kid), and maybe a few others if you want to contribute. Also a Gordon Freeman. There is also a guy (orange kid with sun glasses) dressed like Wesker from Resident Evil, examining a zombie and his zombie dog at one side of the panel. Also, the KING. There is also an Ultimate Chimera punch bowl.
On the next row, Ness, dressed as Luigi without the cap, and Paula, dressed as Princess Peach come up. Paula is holding Melody, who is dressed as a mushroom.
Ness
Hey, glad you guys could make it.
Tracy
Hi! So what's the turnout this year?
Paula
Same old, same old.
Ling
Wow, nice costume. Are you supposed to be a train engineer?
Ness
Uh… You must be Ling…
Kang
Forgive me, Ness! Mom made me take her!
Ness
Hey, Tracy, I think Picky arrived a little while ago. He was working on a zombie costume, right?
Tracy
How did you know?
Ness holds up a pamphlet with a poorly drawn zombie on it. It says "Zombie Picky is coming! Be scared!"
Ness
He's been putting these up everywhere.
Paula
It's a very good costume, though.
The party goes over to the zombie and his dog.
Lydia
Wow, Picky, you really did go all out this year, huh?
Zombie
Urgh…
Tracy
Is that Picky Junior?
Dog
Grawwwg…
Ling
They even got the smell down… Whew…
Tracy
Well, come on, let's get this party started!
Page 4
The first row is a small, four panel montage of the zombie being the life of the party. While the party cheers him on and the zombie groans, the zombie chats it up, gets an apple from the barrel, dances with Tracy, and Ling tries to ride the dog, who is just flattened on the ground. On the next row…
Zombie
Urgh… home…
Guest
What, you're going home already?
Guest
You were the life of the party, dude!
Tracy
You really impressed us this year, Picky!
Zombie
Urgh…
We see the zombie leaving the party outside. Standing in the door are the guests, waving. Go in closer to the doorway.
Kang
Well, that was interesting. This ritual of yours is strange though.
Lydia
Do you guys smell gasoline?
Everyone watches as Picky comes up on his bike, and then walks up. He is dressed in a poorly made zombie costume with scrappy clothing and an ugly mask. He lifts the mask up as he speaks.
Picky
Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, this took a lot of work.
Ling
What the? That costume is stupid!
Picky
What? But I… worked so hard on it…
Tracy
Wait, if you just got here, then who was…
The party except for Picky look at one another.
Tracy, Lydia, and Kang
A ZOMBIE?!
Picky
Am I missing something?
On the second to last panel, we see Kang glaring at Ling as she insults him again.
Ling
I wish my brother was a zombie so he'd smell better.
On the very last panel, we see the zombie and his dog entering some woods near the tunnel. A nearby sign ays "To Threed Graveyard."
Zombie
Urgh… fun… we go again next year…
Dog
Baaark…
