The hedgehogs and friends were very excited about halloween. They love candy! But first they had to brainstorm about what to dress up as. First they all wanted to be ghosts, but it was unanimously decided that it wasn't a great idea. For one thing, those with spiny spines would poke holes right through the sheets, plus it's not very original. And since they left it to the last minute they didn't have time to go shopping for costumes.
Finally Gustave said he was going as a rock. He just needed someone to carry him around, so they all took turns, no biggie. Guerrero took off his ninja gear and went as Garfield. Freddy went as a gecko and UpYours was a ninja turtle (he wore Guerrero's ninja stuff). Raoul walked around saying "eeeehhhh what's up doc" so people would think he was Bugs Bunny. Al was Hootie with no blowfish. The hedgehogs huddled around brainstorming a while, then all at once they shouted "porcupine!!!" Once this was settled off they went.
They went all over the neighborhood to every single house they could get to, shouting "Trick or Treat!!" and filling up their bags with candy. Raoul brought along the skateboard so they could load their treat bags on for easier traveling through the streets. Finally when all their halloween bags were full of candy and everyone was tired they headed for home. The hedgehogs have short little legs and were very tired from all the walking, so they came up with a neat idea. They all stood in a circle facing outwards, then everyone slowly backed in to the center of the circle until their spines all locked together, then they just rolled home in a big hedgehoggy ball.
Once they got home they unlinked their spiney spines and tumbled loose. Everyone dumped their candy out. Gustave said they could all share his candy as long as they let him have the licorice, so they all went along with that. Then they traded their favorites back and forth until everyone had what they liked. Time to dig in! Of course chocolate was a big favorite for everyone (except Gustave) and they all gobbled up some of that right away. Lola let out a loud "buuuurrrrrrppppp!" Then with full bellies, tired feets, chocolate faces and sticky fingers they all laid around on their backs with round, full bellies and went to sleep.
