The selanjutnya morning, Abby woke up to the sound of the TV. She walked downstairs and found several empty bottles of Code Red Mountain Dew, several empty bottles of Cactus Cooler, one empty box of pelangi Munchies, one empty box of Count Chocula, and four hungover operatives.
"Again?!" she yelled.
Kacey jumped. "We didn't stay up all night watching scary movies! Did we, guys?"
Christian, David, and Kiki were sleep-singing:
"1, 2 Freddy's comin' for you,
3, 4, Better lock your door,
5, 6 Grab a crucifix,
7, 8-"
Abby went over and pinched David, who let out a yelp, which jolted the other two operatives awake.
David rubbed his arm and shuddered, "When anda get pinched in your dreams, anda get pinched for REAL!"
Christian did a facepalm.
"What hari is it?" Kiki sleepily asked while rubbing her head.
"October 30th." Abby answered.
"Don't we have to start drawing up trick-or-treating plans?" David asked.
Kacey yawned and nodded her head.
Kiki streched, "I gotta rehearse for tonight's karaoke contest at jeruk nipis, kapur Ricky's."
Kacey's eyes grew huge.
"That's TONIGHT?"
Everyone nodded their heads.
"CRAP! I totally blew off picking and practicing a song! I really wanted to win first prize!"
"What's first prize?" David asked.
"5 pounds of candy." Kiki answered.
His eyes grew huge. He grabbed Kacey's kemeja and began to shake her.
"WE HAVE GOT TO ENTER!!" he shrieked.
"Sign-ups were 2 weeks ago..." Kiki pointed out.
Kacey and David sighed sadly.
"....though I'm pretty sure I can let anda guys sing along with our group. lebih voices equals lebih harmony, right?"
The two operatives jumped for joy and high fived each other.
"So what are we singing?"
--------------------------------------------------
"I look stupid!" Wally grumbled while fiddling with his fake cat ears.
Kuki giggled, "You look cute!"
Kacey fiddled with her cat tail.
"Remind me again why we're bernyanyi this..."
Kiki applied her last bit of berwarna merah muda, merah muda lipstick on her nose.
"Well, anda were the ones who wanted the candy. I had no control over the song."
"Who did, then?" Hoagie asked while fiddling with his pipe cleaner whiskers (WTH is with all the fiddling?!)
Maddy skipped over in her cat costume. Kiki pointed at her.
"Figures." Abby commented.
Numbuh 362 came backstage.
"You're on, guys. Break a leg!" she said.
Kacey whistled.
"FALL IN!" she shouted.
Each operative fell in line and walked on stage. While they got into their places, several of the kids in the audience snickered. Kacey shot them a murderous look and hissed. They immediatley backed off. God, is she scary....
"HELLO, jeruk nipis, kapur RICKY'S!!!" Kiki shouted nito the microphone.
Ricky waved back, "Hi, Kiki!"
The spooky yet upbeat musik filled the room. Kiki started:
"They say a cat has nine lives/ But I...wish I had moooore!"
Then Megan:
"I never could empathize/ 'til I...was on all fooours!"
Then Kacey:
"So don't let me menyeberang, salib your path!/ Unless...you want trouble!"
Then Maddy, Val, and Minerva:
"Thought it was all such a laugh (ha ha ha ha ha!)/'til I: woke up and re-al-ized-all-I-could-do-was-myow-an'-hiss-an'-cuddle!"
Everyone else joined in:
"In my suit of fur/I can only purr/Feels like a tomb/here in my costume!
In my suit of fur/I can only purr/Feels like a tomb/ hope I get out soon!"
The crowd went ballistic when the group began harmonizing on the selanjutnya part.
Then came the selanjutnya verse.
--------------------------------------------------
"We won, we won, we woooooooon!" Kacey, David, and Kiki cheered.
When they got home, they dumped the permen onto the floor and were about to pounce and kill it....when Abby swiped it.
"HEY!"
"No. No permen for anda guys. Not until anda guys draw up those plans!"
The other operatives groaned and began to draw up schematics. Tonight was gonna be a long night....but tommorow night would be even LONGER....
