Narrator: LISTEN FOR THE WORDS "EERIE" AND "SUPERNATURAL."

IT'S HALLOWEEN,

THE MOST SPOOKY, EERIE DAY OF THE YEAR.

YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE GREAT?

IF I COULD RIDE MY MAGIC PONY TO SCHOOL

JUST LIKE THE REAL PRETTY PRINCESS.

WOW, LOOK AT EVERYONE.

I WONDER WHO WILL WIN THE COSTUME CONTEST?

Violet: HEY, BECKY, NICE COSTUME.

WHOA, VIOLET, I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU.

I KNOW. ISN'T THIS COSTUME AMAZING?

WORD UP.

WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

I MEAN, LOOK AT HER TOOL BELT.

SHE HAS ALL OF THE WORDGIRL RAYS AND WANDS.

Becky: ACTUALLY, WORDGIRL DOESN'T HAVE A RAY.

WHAT SHE USES-- AIEEE!

TOBEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE LANDING.

WATCH WHERE I'M LAN-- WATCH WHERE YOU'RE STANDING.

VIOLET, I MUST SAY,

IT SURE IS EERIE HOW MUCH YOU LOOK LIKE WORDGIRL.

ARE YOU WORDGIRL? ME? ARE YOU KIDDING?

LET'S TEST YOUR SUPERNATURAL WORD POWERS.

QUICK, DEFINE "DOPPELGANGER." WHAT?

A DOPPELGANGER IS A TWIN OR LOOK-ALIKE, SOMEONE WHO--

I HOPE MY FELLOW CLASSMATES ARE LOOKING FORWARD

TO BEING DEFEATED IN THE COSTUME CONTEST

BECAUSE I CLEARLY HAVE THE BEST COSTUME

IN THE ENTIRE PLAYGROUND.

I CUT MY VICTORY SPEECH DOWN TO 25 PAGES.

I LIKE EUGENE'S COSTUME.

ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE A ROBOT OR A GARBAGE CAN?

THAT'S FAR FROM AUTHENTIC, MY FRIEND.

TOBEY, TO BE FAIR, I DON'T THINK

REAL SAMURAI WARRIORS WORE LEG WARMERS.

MY MOTHER HAS FAILED ME ONCE AGAIN.

OOH, WHAT'S THAT EERIE NOISE?

IS IT A GHOST?

Violet: MR. DUDLEY, WHAT'S "EERIE" MEAN?

I'M EAR-Y BECAUSE I HAVE 4 EARS.

ACTUALLY, "EERIE" MEANS SPOOKY OR SCARY,

SOMETHING THAT GIVES YOU GOOSE BUMPS.

THAT'S RIGHT, BECKY. IT MEANS SPOOKY.

BLAH, BLAH.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS GHOSTS

AND OTHER SUPERNATURAL CREATURES.

CAN WE GET ON WITH IT AND ANNOUNCE ME

AS THE WINNER OF THE COSTUME CONTEST?

BOO! AAH!

I--OH, W-WHAT-- WHAT WAS THAT?

Dudley: OK, KIDS.

WILL THE CONTEST FINALISTS

LINE UP IN THE FRONT OF THE CLASS?

THE FRONT IS UP HERE IN FRONT OF ME.

OK. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ON MR. DUDLEY'S DESK.

JUST SETTLE DOWN.

EVERYONE'S COSTUME LOOKS SO GOOD,

NOT AS GOOD AS MY COSTUME,

BUT, ALAS, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WINNER,

AND THE WINNER IS...

HMM? HMM?

ME, ME. LET IT BE ME.

VIOLET AS WORDGIRL.

I WON? OH, OH, OH, OH! OH!

THERE YOU GO. I'M GONNA NEED THAT BACK LATER ON.

BUT, MR. DUDLEY, SHE CHEATED.

EVERYONE KNOWS SHE'S REALLY WORDGIRL.

SHE HAD THAT OUTFIT IN HER CLOSET.

TOBEY, DO WE NEED TO CALL YOUR MOTHER?

NO. THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT.

I'LL MANAGE...

MANAGE TO RUIN HALLOWEEN FOR EVERYONE, THAT IS.

HA HA HA!

Narrator: LATER IN TOBEY'S BEDROOM LAIR...

NOW REMEMBER, YOUR MISSION IS TO STEAL NOT SOME, NOT MOST,

BUT ALL OF THE HALLOWEEN CANDY IN THE CITY.

I DON'T WANT VIOLET TO GET HER HANDS ON A SINGLE CHOCOLATE CHIP.

MWAH HA HA HA!

MWAH HA HA HA!

NO. THAT'S MY THING.

Becky: BOB, PLAY WITH YOUR SWORDS OUTSIDE.

WORDGIRL IN PERSON.

I'VE BEEN GETTING THAT REACTION A LOT TODAY.

READY? YEAH. WORD UP.

MM, PAINFUL.

AAH! AAH! AAH!

TRICK OR TREAT. HEY!

ISN'T IT EERIE HOW MUCH THAT IMPOLITE COWBOY

LOOKED LIKE A ROBOT?

OH...

HOT-BUTTERED PUMPKINS, LOOK AT ALL THIS CANDY.

I WON. I WON HALLOWEEN.

UH, WHAT--WHAT'S THIS?

SOFT-BRISTLED TOOTHBRUSHES?

ARE YOU ROBOTS MOCKING ME?

THAT IS THE TREAT THEY GAVE US.

OH, WHY, OH, WHY COULDN'T I HAVE BEEN BORN WITH SUPERNATURAL POWERS?

INSTEAD, I HAVE TO USE ROBOTS

WHO WOULDN'T KNOW A DELICIOUS TREAT

IF THEY HAD ROBOT TASTE SENSORS.

GET OUT THERE AND DON'T COME BACK

UNTIL YOU'VE STOLEN EVERY SINGLE TREAT IN THIS TOWN.
