Kevin confused and looks at the calendar, which shows it's September. kevin then tells them that he won't give them any candy (since it's not Halloween). because of this, Skid and Pump decided to "Trick" kevin by throwing candies off the floor while running across the room. Kevin tries to stop them but they don't listen. kevin then has had enough and yells at them for misbehaving. he then wanted to talk to their parents immediately, but Skid starts to cry. kevin asks Pump why is Skid crying. to his surprise, Pump tells him that Skid's Father died.
Feeling guilty, Kevin gives them candy for free and apologizing them for yelling earlier as the color palette changes back to its colorful form. Skid thanks him and Pump gives Kevin a bag as a gift. Kevin accepts the gift and introduce his name to them. Skid and Pump says goodbye to them while Lila is waiting for them outside. kevin then opens the bag Pump gave to him. turns out, there are worms and Spiders inside the bag. kevin freaks out and tries to get them off as the color palette darkens again. kevin then hears an echo of Skid and Pump, implying that his interaction with both of them is far from over.
The scene then cuts Rapidly, showing a montage of Skid, Pump, and/or other characters in the store while Kevin just stands on the counter. This Scenes includes insects, worms and cats scattered around the store, Skid and Pump throwing garden soil at each other, them playing zombies with Patty inside the store, them bringing The Eyes of the Universe inside as seen in Spooky Month 2 - The Stars, them preparing a ritual, then various scenes From Unwanted Guest, Deadly Smiles, Tender Treats (also a Scene with Skid and Pump throwing fake blood everywhere), and Hollow Sorrows. But the scenes afterwards are completely new since the short and will be explained on the Trivia.
Kevin then suddenly wakes up to the alarm clock, meaning all of this was just a nightmare. Kevin then turns off the alarm and the short ends abruptly.
Trivia[]
- The possible future episodes flashed have one where Skid and Pump are hanging out with Susie, with Roy telling them something causing them to go somewhere with Susie, Robert, and Ross following after them, causing them to go missing, after this, Lila, Jaune, John and Jack show up, Lila complaining to Kevin, as Jack puts barricade tape around the cracked walls, while John writes the evidence on a small notebook. One where Skid and Pump meet Boyfriend from Friday Night Funkin' and get into shenanigans with him, one where they deal with a large spider and chase it down, and the last one being they encounter the Cultists as well as Skid's Dad, causing the world to get shafted by an unknown entity.
- If Kevin's montage events are faithful to what will actually happen in the series, it is quite possible that everyone, or a good amount of characters that are not from the cult could die on the ending.
