Bagel excitedly tried on his new bat costume all ready for Halloween! He had a little trouble zipping the costume up over his tum—perhaps he’d had too many helpings of his Mum’s delicious shepherd’s pie followed by apple crumble and custard! Bagel admired his reflection in the mirror. He cautiously experimented with a few fierce, bat-like roars but they came out as little more than squeaks. Turning from the mirror, he was startled to see Jaydee standing just inside the door. "Your mum let me in," explained Jaydee. "I see you're all set for Halloween!"

Y’all come along with me now and I’ll give you a tour of our brand new factory here!” “That sounds fun!” said Bagel, and he and Jaydee eagerly followed Husky down the road.

Jaydee and Bagel watched entranced the whole operation of producing candy corn. The factory produced five different flavours, plus a mix of all five together.
Bagel and Jaydee sampled the candy corn in the splendid and ornate tasting room. Jaydee slipped away to explore, and was presently heard thumping out Chopsticks on the grand piano in the presentation room next door. Jaydee came back a short while later to try some more candy corn. "It got very cold in that room all of a sudden," she explained somewhat indistinctly through a mouthful of delicious marsh-mallow flavoured confectionery.

"We haven't tried the pink candy corn yet," remarked Bagel. "Let's have some now!" He opened a new packet and offered it round to his companions, then tried it himself. "Hmm. It tastes a bit strange—not like the stuff we had in the tasting room." Husky was also looking doubtful. "This doesn't taste like our candy corn at all!"
While rambling from house to house, you met Howl.
Jaydee shook paws with Howl the Black Wolf. They both received one silver mole!
Husky ate another piece, just to be sure. The landscape darkened and it became colder. Wreaths of mist appeared, interwoven with skeins of pink.

Once inside, the sound of wailing guided them to the kitchen. Cautiously, they peered through the partly open door. A horrific scene greeted them. Several young pets had been captured, tagged, and were being forced to make batches of candy corn, into which the spooks then inserted their particular brand of poison. The formerly spotless, hygienic kitchen was a hideous mess! Sibilant, yet piercing speech met their ears. "If you want to be let go in the morning, work harder!" hissed one spook. "It will be sssuch a pleasure to push you out of the door after tonight, and not to have to lisssten to your ceassselessss wailing sssounds any longer," jeered the other in a brain-penetrating whisper.

Husky drew the other two back away from the kitchen door, formulating in his mind a comprehensive plan to fetch help and rescue the young pets. "Here's what we'll do," he whispered. But he had reckoned without Bagel! The young hippo had never in his whole life been so angry! How dare those horrible spooks treat little pets in such a cruel way whilst plotting to harm them with their evil poison syringes! Without stopping to think, he flung the kitchen door wide and marched in. He drew himself up to his full height and summoning all his strength he took a deep breath—and roared with the ferocity of ten enraged lions at once!
While rambling from house to house, you met Audra.
Jaydee shook paws with Audra the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
The spooks saw a huge, roaring bat with glowing eyes and were startled and stricken. They took flight in shock! Bagel turned to Jaydee and Husky in amazement. "Where on earth did that roar come from?" he gasped. Husky was speechless for a moment. "Perhaps eating the poisoned candy corn gave you a certain power?" he suggested. "You mean it'll wear off? That's a shame in a way— it would be so handy sometimes!" responded Bagel.

Once the effects of the adulterated pink corn wore off, the young pets forgot all about their horrid ordeal.
