~ It's the Great Pumpkin TeamChramy~


With autumn already in full swing, the MTGC gang prepared for Halloween. Meanwhile, Southpaw decided to write his annual letter to The Great Pumpkin, much to TeamChramy’s disbelief, Monkeybrad's and Scoot the Frog's laughter, robertlipe's assurance that the Great Pumpkin is not true, and even to salpal's violent threat to make her brother stop.

Southpaw laments in the letter that "more people believe in Santa Claus than in you". When Southpaw goes out to mail the letter, salpal refuses to help him; so he uses his security blanket to open the mailbox.

On Halloween night, the gang, including thumper369, went trick-or-treating. On the way, they stopped at the pumpkin patch to ridicule Southpaw's who missed the festivities last year and seemed to be doing again; but Southpaw is convinced that the Great Pumpkin will come and even persuaded thumper369 to stay and wait with him. The gang went off, leaving Southpaw and thumper369 behind.

During trick-or-treating, everyone else got assorted candy, apples, gum, cookies, money, and popcorn balls ~ but at every house, TeamChramy got a rock. After tricks-or-treating and another visit to the pumpkin patch to talk to Southpaw and thumper369, the MTGC gang went to JoGPS and Wild_Bill's Halloween cache event.

Meanwhile, Monkeybrad, wearing his World War I flying ace gear, climbed aboard his Sopwith Camel (his doghouse) to fight the Red Baron. After a fierce but losing battle, Monkeybrad made his way across the countryside before briefly crashing the Halloween party and then went to the pumpkin patch. When Southpaw saw Monkeybrad's shadow as if the Great Pumpkin had appeared, he fainted. When thumper369 discovered that it is Monkeybrad, he was so angered over the missing trick-or-treat festivities as well the Halloween party, he threatened to sue Southpaw.

As thumper369 and the other kids left him, Southpaw was still convinced that the Great Pumpkin would show up, and vowed that he would put in a good word for them. However, he accidentally said "If the Great Pumpkin comes" instead of when. After realizing his mistake, he stated that he was doomed and that even one mistake could cause the Great Pumpkin to pass him by.

Meanwhile, salpal woke up at 4:00 AM on November 1 and found her brother's bedroom empty. She went out to the pumpkin patch to find Southpaw shivering in his blanket. After she took Southpaw back to his room, she took off his shoes and he passed out on his own bed. Salpal put the covers on him before storming out of his room. A few hours later, TeamChramy and Southpaw were at the rock wall, talking about the previous night's events. When TeamChramy tried to console Southpaw, he angrily vowed that the Great Pumpkin would come next year.
