''oof!''
''Ow!''
''hey!''
''gimme that!''
Abby made her way through the hectic costume shop, diving, jumping and weaving her way threw frazzled customers, her cowgirl costume hanging limply at one side. It was 1 día until Halloween, and everyone seemed to have lost there minds. With an exasperated gasp, she handed her costume to the cashier.
''That'll be ten fifty.'' The rather bored looking teenage worker dicho blandly.
Numbuh 5 forked over the money and headed twords the door. Unfortunately, a rather, Ummmmmm, ''big boned'' woman staggered in at the same time. her protruding stomach pressed Abby against the wall.
''Watch it!'' The woman seethed.
Groaning, Numbuh 5 got up. A flyer drifted down from the bulletin board above.
Abby picked it up and read.......

    ''Uh uh! No way!!!'' Kiki screamed tearing away from Abby's grip.
''Those old woods leading up to the Grimm place are haunted!'' Hoagie joined in.
''And weird creatures live in there!'' Kuki agreed.
''And who knows how many villains and teenagers are gonna be after that loot too! Numbuh 4 groaned, crossing is arms.
''We haven't exactly had the best of luck with Halloween!'' Maddy dicho shuddering.
She was back at the árbol house, and Abby was presently trying to convince the others to registrarse her in the contest. but so far it wasn't going well....................
''Actually, Megan has a plan for ALL that.'' Numbuh five answered mysteriously calm.
Megan pulled something out from under her work bench.
Feast your eyes. She dicho wit a small laugh .
It was a simple plastic bag filled with multiple multi-colored spheres.
''Thats it?'' Numbuh 4 asked incredulously. he opened the bag and picked one out.
''NO!!!'' Megan shouted. ''They are G.U.M.B.O.M.B.S.!!!!!!''
