“All set Kooky?” I asked.

“Yep, Hip,” Kookie answered. “Just lemme check my inventory of mischief, shaving cream and tape.”

“Why tape?” I wondered.

“Listen,” Kooky said. “DAD! CAN WE LEAVE WITHOUT BIG MOUTH?”

Then from upstairs Bowser answered. “NO! This year you’re all going tricking together! So put back that tape! Last year Big Mouth came home with half his head taped.”

Kookie put back the tape and sighed. Kootie Pie ran down the stairs screaming. “WAAAHHHH!” she cried. “Cheatsy sprayed me with silly string!!”

Kookie and I knew why Cheatsy had silly string and not shaving cream. All the others judged him as too young. Not ten minutes later everyone was ready to go. No one wore costumes because everyone agreed they didn’t need them.

“Only Yoshis and Mushroom people dress up,” Bully said.

“Okay, kids,” Bowser said. “Now, I want to hear five bad things about each of you. Everyone got a mischief maker?” We all nodded. “Good. Now go out and have FUN!”

Everyone tromped towards the park where the Mushroom people were having fun games.

“Hey, Hop,” I called. “Aren’t those two dressed as a wrench and a plunger Mario and Luigi?”

“Yeah I guess so,” Hop answered. He pulled out his shaving cream and hid in a bush, waiting for someone to pass by.

‘Ha! Now this is FUN!’ I thought. I pulled out the blue colored shaving gel I bought with my own money and walked up behind Princess Toadstool.

“Oh, hi Hip. Having… HEY!” she cried. I had sprayed her right on her witch’s hat. I laughed and ran away. Then I ran into a giant plunger. A giant plunger with shaving cream!

“Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!” I yelled, as Luigi sprayed me.

“Ha! This is fun!” he called.

Mario was standing on a big stage they had set up for announcements.

“Alright, everyone. Time for a SHAVING CREAM FIGHT!” he yelled. All my siblings gasped. This had not been expected! And we were outnumbered too!

“Reeeetreeeeeeeat!” Kooky yelled.

“NO! CHARGE!” I yelled louder.

“HUHH-RAYYYY!” Hop cried. We ran towards the Mushroom people and Yoshis. Shaving cream sizzled on the trees, silly string hung from the stage and the houses that were near the park, and gel sat on the lighting equipment. It was a cool, friendly fight. Everyone fought for about twenty minutes. Then, it happened.

“Hey, look who is!” a voice cried.

“Uh oh,” Yoshi said. “Yoshi in big trouble now!”

“Yoshi-wimp got that right!” a girl’s voice approved.

“Now Dino Riders get Koopa reward!” a tough voice said.

“What about our dad’s reward?” I asked.

“Lulu and other Dino Riders capture Marios once. Princess and Yoshi ruin plan to give Marios to King Koopa for BIG reward,” Lulu said. “Duke, grab Marios!”

“Hahaha!” Duke laughed. “Why now? Dino Riders have a little FUN! Lulu? GET EGGS!”

“EGGS?” Kootie Pie wailed. “They’re gonna EGG us!”

“Got that right!” Duke called. The three Dino Riders whipped eggs at everyone. They aimed straight for the head so everyone would get knocked out and they could steal the Marios.

“AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!” Hop cried. He went down. Hard.

“WWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHH!” Big Mouth yelled. He was out cold.

“Hey! Stop it!” I yelled at the Dino Riders.

“Yeah!” the still-conscious Koopalings cheered with me.

“AUUGGGHHHH!” Kooky screamed. He had turned but the egg hit him in the side the head.

I gasped and looked around. Kootie Pie, Bully, and Cheatsy were still conscious. Bully got really mad and jumped at the strongest Dino Rider and knocked him down.

“HEY!” the Dino Rider yelled. They both rolled and fought and grabbed eggs for about five minutes. When they were done, they were both out cold.

I had been crawling around to the back of the Dino Riders unnoticed. Lulu was right in front of me, attempting to knock out Kootie Pie. I jumped on her and knocked her to the ground.

“Lulu hate persistent buggers!” Lulu cried. She flung me towards Kootie Pie but she dodged out of the way. I was sailing right towards a wall, but Cheatsy ran by and grabbed me.

“Thanks!” I gasped.

“Forget it. It’s pay back time for Duke! He hit me…” Cheatsy pointed to his arm. There was a long orange stain on his hand.

“Those jerks!” I said. Then I glanced over to Kootie Pie and Lulu.

“HEEEEE-YYYYYYAAAAAAHHHHHH!” Kootie Pie yelled. She jumped at Lulu. She delivered a vicious karate kick to Lulu’s leg. Lulu tripped and fell on a carton of eggs. “Ha!” Kootie Pie laughed. “Now who has egg on their face?”

“Good going Kootie Pie!” I called to her.

“Thanks bro!” she called back.

“Got ya!” Cheatsy and I yelled. We jumped on Duke and knocked him down.

“NO ONE messes with a Koopaling!” Cheatsy yelled at Duke. Then a strange expression came across Duke’s face.

“KOOPAling?” he asked us.

“Yeah, what are you? Stupid? A Koopaling is a kid of Koopa,” I said like it was obvious, ‘cause it was.

“Kid of Koopa? King Koopa?” he asked again.

“Wow! He figured it out! Give the man a gold star!” Cheatsy said sarcastically.

Duke groped around in the darkness and grabbed two people. “Want Marios? Pay big reward?” he asked.

“Do the questions ever stop? NO! After what you did to me…” I said and gestured around. “And my brothers? And the Mushroom People? And the Marios?”

“But aren’t you Koopas always fighting da Marios?” Duke asked.

“You really oughta think about joining up with us this year,” Cheatsy said. “We were, until the Seven Stars incident. Now we still make mischief on them, but if we need their help, they’ll give it to us. Just last year we had a cool snowball fight with them and the princess.”

“Huh? Seven Stars?” Duke said.

“My patience has just run out, right Hip?” Cheatsy said.

“Right!” I answered. We picked up some eggs and dumped them on Duke’s bandana.

“Duke’s bandana! Forget reward! You not get Marios! Lulu! Dino Riders leave now!” Duke yelled. The Dino Riders zoomed off just as everyone revived. Toadstool gasped and looked around. There were signs of a great battle everywhere. Egg shells littered the ground, egg yolks were drying on the heads of the Dino Riders' victims, and the smell of old shaving cream still filled the air. Hop called the Lakitus and we flew back to the Keep. Oh well, next year we’ll just trick-AND-treat.
