*Emi’s perspective*

“Is everyone ready ta go?”, Mom asked.

“I’m ready! I’m ready!”, Emi shouted, bouncing up and down.

“Wow Emi, that mask is beautiful. Where did you get it?”, Minerva asked.

“I got it in Japan, but Sunset was the one who painted it.”

“Well, that is very impressive. Speaking of which, where is Sunset?”

“She’s finishing up her costume. She should be out- there she is.”, Emi said.

“Hey”, Sunset said.

“What are ya going as?”, Mom asked.

“Princess Zuka from ‘Avatars: the Last Air Spirit’.”, Sunset said.

“Your make-up looks great.”, Anura said.

Dad’s footsteps were heard coming down the stairs.

“Didn’t you go as McRuff the crime hound last year?”, Minerva asked.

“I am not as into costumes as you are.”, Dad said. “What are you this year?”

“Batlady”, Minerva said.

“And I’m Batlass.”, Anura said.

“Mommy’s a scary ghost.”, Emi said.

“A quiet convincing scary ghost if Ah say so meself.”

“Come on, let's get going.”, Sunset said.

*Sunset’s perspective*

Sunset and her family had been going around the neighborhood, collecting candy and having a good time. Along their journey, Sunset noticed a familiar group of five girls. The girls had not seemed to have noticed Sunset yet, but they soon would as their paths passed one another. As they got closer to the girls, Rainbow looked to have spotted Sunset.

“Hey Sunset, want to capture me and bring me back to the Fire Realm to reclaim your honor?”, Rainbow asked.

“So, Ah take it y’r both characters from da same series.”, Brigid said.

“Yes, you should really watch it. It’s quite good.”, Sunset said.

“It’s the best. Just don’t watch the movie. It just retells the same story as the first season but way worse. They couldn't even say the main character’s name right. I mean, if it was a book, fine, but it was a TV show. They say his name in almost every episode.”, Rainbow ranted.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”, Brigid said.

“Anyway, Ah guess we’ll see ya in school tomorrow, Sunset.”, Jacklyn said.

“Come on Applejack, we only have so much time to get candy.”, Pinkie shouted.

“Applejack?”, Sunset asked.

“A stupid nickname Pinkie came up for me.”

“Isn’t applejack a type of alcoholic beverage?”, Sunset asked.

“Alcoholic-?! Pinkie!”, Jacklyn shouted.

Pinkie ran away down the sidewalk with Jacklyn chasing after her. The other girls chased after them in turn. Sunset’s group continued on their way.

“Okay, It’s holiday season. ‘Hat means da Blues are gonna try n’ make an appearance. We need a battle plan.”, Brigid said.

“We should build pie launching catapults, and pelt the Blues with nut pies, the worst kind of pie. Mwa ha ha ha”, Emi said.

“Let’s put a pin in that one.”, Anzhong said. “There’s no exact telling when they’ll strike. We could hold the party at a different location and hunker down for the rest of the season.”

“No, we're not gonna disrupt our lives because of them. They’re only gonna keep coming back year after year. We need to send them packing so hard they’ll never come back. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about them to say how we’re gonna do that.”, Sunset said.

“Well, it’s Pristine ‘hat’s really doing all ‘his. Hick is jus’ being pulled along by his testicals.”, Brigid said.

Image “That’s it. Pristine cares about her image more than anything. If we embarrass her at the party and then threaten to blast the video all over social media if they come back.”, Sunset said.

“That’s evil, but brilliant.”, Anzhong said.

“The Blues are here!”, Emi announced.

“Okay everyone, it’s go time.”, Brigid said.

The Katon family came up with a plan to get rid of the Blues for good. They conscripted the help of some of their party guests with more mischievous sides. ‘Tis was the season to rid themselves of annoying family. This time they set the part up out back so the less mischievous of their guests don’t get caught in the splatter zone.

“Here they come.”, Emi said. Emi jumped down from her perch and grabbed her pies. “Whipped cream. You should've let me go with my stinky cheese and uncracked walnut recipe.”

“Our goal is to humiliate her. If we injure her, she will get sympathy, and stinky cheese stink can’t be caught on camera.”, Sunset said. “Camera’s ready.”

A knock was heard at the door. “It’s showtime, baby.”, Brigid said. Brigid opened the door, picked Hick up like a sack of potatoes, and got him out of the way in order to ensure he didn't interfere.

“FIRE!”, Sunset shouted. A barrage of whipped cream pies and balloons filled with confetti and any other assortment of mess producing substances were hurled at Pristine.

Pristine shrieked as she was pelted. She stumbled back, falling off the porch and landing on the walkway.

“Are you okay?”, Anzhong asked Pristine.

Pristine began shrieking again, or maybe she was saying something. It sounded like it had a pattern to it, but Sunset couldn’t make heads or tails of it. Sunset was still filming the fiasco when Pristine spotted her. “Are you filming this? Delete that right now!”

“Nope, you’re on our property, without permission. You’ve tormented my mother ever since she came to this county, and this is your comeuppance.”, Sunset said.

Pristine began shrieking again and made an attempt on Sunset. Anzhong shut that down with a quick shin whack from his cane. “You little brat.” More screeching Sunset couldn’t understand. It was then Hick was released, and he came stumbling back. They were both screeching and yelling now. Hick helped Pristine up, and they angry stomped back to their car and drove off.

“What did they say?”, Sunset and Emi asked.

“It was some‘hin’ along da lines of “we’ll never come back” n’ “you’ll be sorry”.”, Brigid said. “Ya got all dat on camera?”

“Yep”, Sunset responded.

“Great, now let’s get back ta partying.”, Brigid said.

*Sunset’s perspective*

Sunset and Fleur had recently come in from lobbing snowballs at each other. Sunset just finished telling Fleur about how they got rid of the Blues for good. Fleur had been with her dad for Thanksgiving this year. During their conversation, Sunset noticed that Fleur was agitated and even somewhat hostile.

“Fleur, you okay?”

“Hm, yeah, why do you ask?”

“You seem agitated. Is something wrong?”

“It’s just school. They have high standards for all of the students. I’m just a little stressed.”

“What kind of stress?”

“CPA is very competitive. You either win or lose there.”

“That doesn’t sound like a very healthy learning environment.”

“Maybe, but if you graduate from Crystal Prep, you’re basically guaranteed a spot in an Ivy league school.”

“Is that really that important?”

“Ivy league is the best of the best. If you have any chance to get into one, you take it.”

“I get that. If you need any help with anything, be sure to ask me.”

“Thank you, Sunset.
