Pandemic Halloween/Transcript

Reicheru and Sophie's plan
[Sophie looks outside the window]

Sophie: Well, looks like it's been months since COVID ruined everything.

Reicheru: Yeah.

Sophie: No wonder Joe Diffie died.

Reicheru: What about Adam you-know-who?

Sophie: You mean the guy who sang Stacy's Mom?

Reicheru: That too.

Sophie: We couldn't risk everyone getting sick!

Reicheru: I have an idea.

[Reicheru shows up at the intercom]

Reicheru (announcing): Hey everyone. Bad news: due to COVID-19, Halloween is now cancelled. Trick-or-treating is banned from the base.

Sophie: Wow, Reicheru. You were good at announcements.

Reicheru: Thank you.

Meanwhile, with Xiu-mei and Akara
[Xiu-mei and Akara rushed to their parents]

Xiu-mei: Daddy? Can we go trick-or-treating?

Lei: Not now, Xiu-mei.

Akara: Daddy, I want to go trick-or-treating with Xiu-mei.

Devi: No, sweetie. You can't.

Xiu-mei: But why?

Akara: Give us a reason why.

Lei: Because there's a pandemic outside and we couldn't risk that

Devi: Many people are dying from COVID-19 and others are staying indoors during qauratine.

Xiu-mei: Awww, that's very sad. I really wanted to go.

Fumei: Sweetie, you heard what your father said. You can't go.

Bopha: But you can watch family-friendly Halloween movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas and It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Xiu-mei and Akara: Really?

Devi: Yeah, but there's more like Halloweentown series, Goosebumps series, the 1986 classic The Worst Witch, Hocus Pocus, Corpse Bride, and Monster House.

Xiu-mei and Akara: Awesome!
