“You guys do this every year?”
Marshall and Simon both nodded with the utmost solemnity.
“Well, there was last year,” Simon looked at Marshall. “With my brother and the mummy.”
Simon didn’t elaborate, but Dash didn’t really care.
“So for one night every year, you’re allowed to go around and beg free stuff from the adults and if they don’t deliver you can then throw eggs at their house? And nobody does anything to stop you?” Dash had only ever read about such an event, but never witnessed one for himself, at least not that he could remember. He dared hope it was true at the time; but to actually participate in one was more than he could’ve wanted. “That’s what the costumes are for, right? So they can’t identify you later?”
Simon laughed at the teen’s complete ignorance of the rituals for trick or treating; even Marshall found himself smiling a little bit.
“I don’t think they would stop you even if you weren’t wearing a costume. It’s a tradition that goes back years,” Marshall stated. “Something to do with ancient pagan rituals to frighten off wandering spirits.”
Eyeing Marshall and Simon warily, waiting for a trick, Dash put his own mask on. “Alright then, but if we get caught I’m claiming that you two forced me into it.”
