MPC Number: 33X
MPC Name: Tricks, Treats, and Candy to Eat
Reward: Posts
Today was the day.
October 31st, at 5:00 PM. This year would be Johan Walker's first Halloween in Japan, away from home. He would miss seeing his little sister dress up like Wonder Woman this year, going trick or treating with Mom and Dad... how sad.
However, this year he has his best friend and partner, Dokamon, to accompany him on this night of pure joy. Johan was just in his dorm room, putting on his Halloween costume, Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia. Dokamon still thought dressing up like this was stupid however, but if Johan liked doing it, so be it.
"Are you ready to go yet?" Dokamon asked Johan calmly.
"Just... one... second... there, perfect!" Johan says, walking out of the dorm room into the hallway, where he would meet Dokamon. The story would be that Dokamon was "Johan's Little Cousin," and that he was visiting Japan as well.
"Alright then, let's go." The two would then walk out of the school, bags in hand, and go out on a night to remember...

"Is- are they really that foolish?" That was Tadayoshi asking that question as he walked out of the same building fairly closeby, only he wasn't being so obvious as to mark himself by letting his digimon walk free. The young man didn't even need his own partners' assistance to idenfity a digimon this time; it was just plain and clear to him. "They might as well be wearing signs." Perhaps the teenage general was in no position to criticize someone else's lack of subtlety, however; after all, he himself was covered in a white sheet that hung so low he was almost tripping over it with only eye holes to peer through. Seeing as Tadayoshi's father didn't quite approve of such childish indulgences and wouldn't provide a real costume, the young general had to improvise.
Still, it served a double function; no one could see his Xros Loader underneath it, and the thick white sheet helped muffle some of the sound as Commandramon replied, "We may see many digimon walking around in the open tonight. I suppose if they are with humans, or just enjoying the festivities, they shouldn't be a problem."
"I'm still not comfortable with the thought that you guys have been wandering my neighborhood on Halloween night for years, probably."
"Hmph. Well, I don't know about you, but I feel like stretching my legs."
"Wha-?" Before Yoshi could think to stop her, Renamon materialized from the Loader... and then crawled out from under Tadayoshi's sheet. "I don't think-"
"-Would you like to try and put me back in?" Tadayoshi gulped. No, no, he did not.

"Hold it," Dokamon immediately says, putting a hand out in front of Johan. "I sense Digimon nearby."
"Oh, so others had the same idea as we did, huh?" Johan chuckled as Dokamon surveyed the area to see where the Digimon were. Apparently, they were right next to them as a Renamon was now towering over another kid. Assuming he was also a Tamer, Johan walked up to the kid.
"Hey there! Your Digimon decided to come out too, huh?" Johan asked, extending a hand towards the teenager. Or at least, he thought it was a teen; the white sheet covered most of his face. "I'm Johan Walker, from America, despite my accent. And this here is Dokamon."
"A pleasure to meet you," Dokamon says, bowing towards Tadayoshi. "I am personally not into this Halloween stuff; I'm only going with my human partner to keep an eye out on him.
"Want to join us?"

"Actually, we-"
"Did you just call me 'his' digimon?"
Oh, gosh, Tadayoshi sighed inside, Here we go.
"Let me make one thing clear to you all: I belong to nobody. I am my own digimon who comes and goes as she pleases." She then crossed her arms proudly before admitting, "I'm Renamon, and Tadayoshi is my present employer."
"'Employer?' That's rich." Just then a second digimon crawled out from under the sheet: Commandramon. It seemed he had taken a tactful approach by leaving his arms and armor in the Loader. "Pleasure, both of you. Don't mind her; sometimes she forgets she's under our protection, not the other way around." Renamon had no retort for that. "Why not accompany them, General? Rest is a part of productivity, too."
"Could you tell my Dad that?" Tadayoshi looked a little uncomfortable now. "I... I dunno. I've never actually gone trick-or-treating with someone else before. But you also know about digimon, so... guess we should stick together, right?"

"Listen, I'm already grouchy about having to follow my friend along tonight. So unless you want a flat face, I suggest you cool it, lady."
"Why don't you take your own advice?" Johan told Dokamon as he sweatdropped. Suddenly, a second Digimon came out from under the teen's sheet: a Commandramon. Johan took the time to bend down and observe this new Digimon. "Wow, you're like a blue-colored Agumon, but with a longer tail! So cool!"
Tadayoshi seemed to have doubts about Trick or Treating, but Johan didn't seem to care; he grabbed Tadayoshi's arm and started walking to the first house. "Come on, it'll be fun! Your Digimon will be able to get some candy, as well!"
"I'm not very fond of sweets..."
"Says the 'mon who devoured at least ten s'mores back in Rosewood." This statement caused Dokamon to look away, embarrassed beyond all reason.
So, the trick-or-treating commenced. Johan rang the first doorbell, and a nice looking lady came out dressed in a purple witch's outfit.
"Aw, look at how CUTE you all look! Especially that one," the lady said, referring to Dokamon, who blushed in return.

It looked like a good thing Renamon and Dokamon had interference run by their respective comrades; a fight between the two might have been very entertaining but only until the digimon moves began to fly. That managed to keep the peace at least until the first house. "Trick-or-treat!" Yoshi somewhat nervously declared before realizing he had nothing to actually store candies in. Hastily, and awkwardly, he unshouldered his pack, set it on the ground, stepped back so it was over the sheet, picked it up, and opened it. Given all his school supplies it seemed he didn't have much room in there, but it was the best he could do.
Renamon, however, felt slighted again; she did not appreciate not being favored, especially in a contest of appearance. So she had to reach out and jab, "Hmm. I thought the gloves were overkill."
"Re- Reno!" Tadayoshi almost mistakenly called his partner by her real name as he snapped at her. Thankfully he improvised a realistic Japanese name in time. "Come on, be nice to Johan's little brother, huh?" Luckily, the general's anxious sweating and nervous smile didn't show under his sheet.

Luckily the lady didn't think too much of it. As she gave each and every occupant their share of candy, she bent down to Dokamon. "I think those gloves of yours are really cute."
"Er... thanks," Dokamon nods, accepting the candy from this stranger. When all was said and done, Johan thanked the nice lady and headed off to the next house.
After a while, the group went off to a few more houses, where nothing too spectacular happened... although a lot of people did comment on the Digimon in the group, claiming that they had they most impressive costumes. Hell, one house gave Tadayoshi a rock, which Johan had to laugh about.
Tadayoshi probably wouldn't get it though.
"Which house should we go to next, guys?" Johan asks the group. "I think we should go to that big house right there. They might give full sized candy bars!"

"What, you mean that one?" Tadayoshi echoed, looking at the house indicated. "I dunno. I come from a little money, too, and father would not give out large candy bars. In fact I think he kept the porch lights off trying to tell people to keep away."
"Well, we may as well go," Commandramon proposed while wearing an uncharacteristic grin that displayed his many very sharp teeth. "The worst that could happen is leaving with no more sweets than we started with, which is already a surplus."
Tadayoshi noticed his change. The grin? The swaying tail? The relaxed body posture? The last time Tadayoshi had seen Commandramon this content, he had just thought of a new way to construct a bomb. The young General tried to be inclusive by asking his Xros Loader, "Hey, Hagurumon, you sure you don't want out?"
The reply was a swift, "Very sure!"
Yoshi shrugged but kept smiling with Commandramon. "Well, alright. So, Commandramon, is that your way of saying, 'I'm having a good time and want to keep going?'"
"Actually, yes," he admitted.
"Well, then. Lead the way, Johan."

"Come on, Tadayoshi, it's too good of an opportunity to pass up! Besides, this is the last year I'm going trick or treating, anyways... might as well make the best of it!"
Dokamon had noticed the sudden change in Commandramon's behavior. Suddenly he was smiling, and he looked more relaxed than he initially did. He was surprised that Commandramon could even look like that. Meanwhile, Dokamon still had that stern look on his face.
"Why is it always doom and gloom for you, huh, Dokamon?"
"I never said everything was doom and gloom."
"Would it kill you to smile once in a while? Huh?" Johan groaned. "Come on, let's just head up to the house."
When the group reached the house, it was clear that this place was filled with Halloween spirit. There was a fog machine that covered most of the yard, and the decorations looked freaky as well. There was a pumpkin-headed dummy standing by the front steps. When the group would attempt to go up these steps, the dummy would suddenly jump and scream:
"RAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!"

"Agh! Geez!" The 'dummy's' attempt worked to perfection. Tadayoshi jumped back, frightened, and yelped. "Holy-!" But almost equally surprising was the fact that neither of Tadayoshi's deployed partners reacted at all aside from getting a little tense. Even then, they weren't surprised; they were simply ready for self-defense. "Are you kidding me? That didn't scare you guys?" The young Xros General complained.
Renamon shrugged. "I thought you knew. I could smell that it was a human as we approached." Uh-oh. That wasn't very appropriate to say! Luckily, Commandramon was there to pick up the slack.
To the dummy, he covered, "Don't mind her; she likes to really get in character when she goes treat-or-tricking."
"Trick-or-treating," Tadayoshi swiftly corrected his partner. "Sorry. He's, uh... not from around here. Still working on his Japanese." Perhaps even a digimon should have known about the concept, but given that Commandramon spent his life from almost the very start in military training, it only made sense he didn't get it perfectly.

"AAAGH!" Johan reacted in a similar way that Tadayoshi did, only he had climbed partially up the stairs at that point and the sudden jump made him fall backwards. Luckily, Dokamon was more like Tadayoshi's Digimon and sensed it coming, so he was right there, ready to catch Johan. "Phew... thanks, Doka."
"Anytime. You should know by this point to expect things like this, however."
The pumpkin-head guy was not so easily entertained. "Man for kids, only two of you actually fell for it. And those kids get candy tonight."
"Wait, what? They're with us, why can't they get any?"
"Because I don't think they're festive enough. It's my house, I paid for the candy, and I can do what I want with it."
"I think we're done here." On that note, Johan would then immediately turn around and leave. Dokamon looked at Tadayoshi to make sure that he would do the same. If he didn't, then his own Digimon would quickly turn on him.
"That was a real mature thing you did there, Johan. I'm impressed."
"Thanks, Dokamon..."
Unbeknownst to them, this wouldn't be the last time that they'd meet up with this man...

"Hmm..." Renamon sat still and pondered this odd man's unusual sort of candy discrimination. Whatever went on in her head, the conclusion apparently, "Yes. I've decided I would like to hit him.""No!" Commandramon commanded, "Don't hurt him. It's not sporting." Honestly, the dragon didn't intend to deliver such a sick burn on the stranger in costume; he was just scolding Renamon for suggesting such a thing against a nonviolent human. The side result was just a happy coincidence. "Oh, shoot!" The teenage general exclaimed when he heard the burn delivered. Renamon and Commandramon looked to him like they were confused about what he meant and why he was acting so surprised. That just made Tadayoshi embarrassed, though, so he regressed shyly. "Nevermind... let's just split it evenly when the night's over. Deal?"It was agreed, so on that note Tadayoshi and company joined Dokamon and Johan once more. "Give that guy some credit: he wanted to be a creep, and he did."
