Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.

Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.

As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese.

The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS
KISS YOUR TURTLE GOODBYE
COME UP AND CLIMB
WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY
SO MUCH TO SEE
SO MUCH TO DO
IN OUR TREE FORT
WE GOT A SHOW FOR
THAT TVOKIDS, THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW

Laura says PASSWORD PLEASE.
[FWEET!]

Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Chocolate."

In animation, a dialogue bubble pop out of a map with a caption "That TVO Kids Show."

(music plays)

Laura and Lucas stand in a Halloween-decorated tree fort and sort out their candy.

(music plays)

Laura says OKAY, I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD
PROBABLY BE...

Lucas says CANDY.
I THINK IT'S GREAT.

Laura says PUT IT DOWN.
IT'S NOT FOR US.
IT'S FOR THE TRICK OR TREATERS
TOMORROW.

Lucas says FOR OUR FIRST HALLOWEEN IN
THE TREE FORT.
TOMORROW!
TVOkids, YOU MUST BE GETTING
READY TO GO OUT AND TRICK OR
TREAT.
JUST A REMINDER, BE SAFE.

Laura says TOTALLY.
DID YOU GUESS THE PASSWORD
TODAY?
VERY EXCITING.
LUCAS, STOP EATING IT.
IT'S FOR THE TRICK OR TREATERS.

Lucas says WE HAVE ENOUGH.
WE HAVE THREE BOWLS.

Laura says YUCK!

Lucas says YOU HAVE IT.

Laura says IT'S FOR THE TRICK OR
TREATERS.

Lucas says TVOkids.

Laura says OKAY, MAYBE ONE, OR TWO.
MAYBE, LIKE, THREE.
OKAY.
BUT THAT'S IT.

Lauren and Lucius, Laura and Lucas' evil second cousins, pop up on the sky screen.

Lucius says ATTENTION, TREE PEOPLE.
WE INTERRUPT THIS TO BRING YOU A
VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR
DAZZLING MAYOR AND CO-MAYOR.

Laurel says IT'S VICE BUTT MAYOR.
HELLO, SUBJECTS.
STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND LOOK
AT ME.

Lucius says YEAH, US.

Laurel says AS YOUR DUALLY ELECTED MAYOR
OF THE FOREST, AND WITH
HALLOWEEN FAST APPROACHING, I
HEREBY DECLARE A CANDY TAX.

Lucas and Laura say WHAT?
A CANDY TAX?
IT'S NOT FAIR.

Lucius says QUIT YOUR GRUMBLING, MINIONS.
YOUR QUEEN IS TALKING.

Laurel says LET ME EXPLAIN.
TOMORROW TONIGHT ON ALL HALLOW'S
EVE, TWO THIRDS OF YOUR
HALLOWEEN CANDY MUST BE
SURRENDERED TO US, LUCIUS AND
LAUREL.
OR ELSE!

Laura says OR ELSE WHAT?

Lucas says THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR
CANDY?

Laurel says THAT IS ALL.
LUCIUS, THESE ROYAL DECREES ARE
EXHAUSTING.
MAKE THEM GO AWAY, ALREADY!

Lucius says END TRANSMISSION.
OUT.

Lucas says OKAY, BY.
THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR CANDY?

Laura says THEY CAN'T DO THAT.

Lucas says TVOkids, THEY CAN'T TAKE IT
FROM THEM, OR US.

Laura says MAYOR LAUREL, I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT.

Lucas says YEAH, I KNOW, THAT IS REALLY
UNFORTUNATE.
[Frog horn]

Lucas says OKAY, WE GOT TO FIGURE THIS
OUT.
HELLO, TREE FORT, LUCAS
SPEAKING, WHO'S CALLING?

The callers say HI!

Lucas says WHOA, ARE THERE 15 OF YOU?
WHO'S CALLING?

The callers say ANNA AND KATHERINE!

Lucas says ANNA AND KATHERINE.
ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S THE PASSWORD
FOR TODAY?

The girls say CHOCOLATE!

Laura says YES!

Lucas says SO GOOD.
OKAY, YOU'RE UP IN THE SKY,
FRIENDS.

Laura says I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYONE SO
EXCITED FOR CHOCOLATE BEFORE.

Lucas says I KNOW, YOU MUST BE REALLY
EXCITED, BUT THERE'S A CATCH,
BECAUSE LUCIUS AND LAUREL
DECIDED THERE WAS A CANDY TAX.

The girls pop up on the sky screen.

A caption reads "Anna and Katherine."

Anna is around 11, with long straight light brown hair in a ponytail and Katherine is around 4, with long straight blond hair in a ponytail.

Laura says THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE TWO
THIRDS OF OUR CANDY THEY SAID?

Lucas says HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT
THAT?

Anna says THAT'S NOT VERY NICE.

Lucas says YEAH, IT ISN'T NICE.

Katherine says YEAH, IT'S NOT VERY NICE.

Laura says NO, IT ISN'T VERY NICE.

Lucas says IT'S TRUE.

Laura says HOW MUCH CANDY EXACTLY ARE
THEY GOING TO TAKE?

Lucas says HOW MUCH CANDY IS TWO THIRDS?
IF YOU HAVE THREE BOWLS OF
CANDY?

Laura says HMM.

Lucas says DO YOU GUYS KNOW?
HOW MANY BOWLS?

The girls say TWO, TWO BOWLS.

Lucas says TWO BOWLS OF CANDY IF WE HAVE
THREE, SO THAT'S HOW MUCH CANDY
THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE.
THAT'S A LOT OF CANDY.
WHAT IF WE JUST PUT THEM ALL IN
THE SAME BOWL.
WILL THEY STILL TAKE IT?

Laura says THEY'RE STILL GOING TO TAKE
TWO THIRDS, LUCAS.

Lucas says OH, NO.
OKAY.
WE GOT TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

Laura says LET'S NOT LET THIS GET US
DISCOURAGED.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Laura says WE SHOULD STILL BE EXCITED
FOR HALLOWEEN.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO BE?

Anna says I'M GOING TO BE AN EVIL...

Katherine says I WANT TO BE A UNICORN.

Lucas says OH.

Laura says THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.

Lucas says THAT DOES SOUND AMAZING.
VERY SPOOKY.
WELL, THAT'S AWESOME.
WE WANT TO SHOW YOU GUYS A CUTE
TIME OOT VIDEO AND YOU GET TO
RATE IT, OKAY, FRIENDS?
SOUND GOOD?

The girls say OKAY.

Lucas says OKAY.
FIRST I'M GOING TO FEED YOU THIS
CANDY.
HERE, TRY A BITE.
[Laughter]
OKAY, CHECK THIS OUT.
CUTE TIME OOT

A series of pets appear with the title "Cute time oot."

Lucas says ALL RIGHT!
THIS IS A DOG DRESSED UP.

Laura says YES, THIS DOG WAS AT THE DOG
COSTUME PARADE, AND IT'S A
LITTLE PLATE OF SPAGHETTI AND
MEATBALLS.

Lucas says ON A TABLE.
VERY, VERY SPECIFIC.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS, ANNA
AND KATHERINE?
THOUGHTS?

Anna says UMM, I THINK IT'S A FIVE
BECAUSE THE PLATE COULD FALL OFF
AND THE TAIL COULD GET INTO THE
FOOD.

Laura says VERY GOOD POINT.

Lucas says WE DON'T WANT TO EAT DOG HAIR
IN OUR SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS.

Laura says VERY GOOD POINT.

Katherine says AND THE TAIL MIGHT GET IN THE
FOOD.

Laura says VERY TRUE.

Lucas says VERY TRUE.

Laura says I DIDN'T THINK OF THIS AT
ALL.

Lucas says I KNOW.
IT'S NOT CALLED DOG AND
MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI.
IT'S JUST CALLED MEATBALLS AND
SPAGHETTI.

Laura says SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
USUALLY.

Lucas says DARE TO BE DIFFERENT.
WE'RE SO GLAD TO TALK TO YOU
GUYS.
WE HOPE THAT YOU HAVE AN AWESOME
HALLOWEEN, OKAY?

Laura says TALK TO YOU GUYS SOON.

The girls say BYE!

Lucas says BYE, ANNA AND KATHERINE.
OKAY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT JUST
HAPPENED, BUT I DO KNOW WE GOT
AN EMAIL.

Laura says WE DID, SO IT'S TIME
FOR . . .

The announcer shouts "WE NEED TO KNOW"!

The loud voice makes the fort shake.

Lucas says PROTECT THE CANDY, QUICK!

Laura says OKAY.

Lucas says OKAY.

Laura says THAT'S RIGHT.

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT.

Laura says WE RECEIVED AN e-mail FROM
BENJAMIN, AGE 7.

Lucas says BENJAMIN WANTS TO KNOW THIS
QUESTION, WHY DO WE GET GOOSE
BUMPS.

Laura says THIS IS A REALLY GREAT
QUESTION.
I DID NOT KNOW THIS, BUT THE
ANSWER IS AWESOME.

Lucas says YEAH, LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

A clip rolls. The announcer says GOOSE BUMPS, CHICKEN SKIN AND
ROOSTER... WHATEVER YOU CALL IT,
YOU KNOW THEY ARE THOSE FUNNY
LITTLE BUMPS THAT APPEAR
WHENEVER YOU'RE COLD, SCARED OR
EVEN JAMMING OUT TO YOUR
FAVOURITE TUNE.
SO WHY DOES OUR SKIN REACT THIS
WAY?
WELL, IT ALL DATES BACK TO OUR
ANCESTORS.

The clip shows a little boy playing with an elderly man.

The announcer says NOPE, A BIT FURTHER BACK THAN
THAT.

The clip shows a Victorian woman writing a letter with a quill.

The announcer says A LITTLE MORE.

The clip shows magnified images of cells.

The announcer says WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, TOO FAR.
WAY TOO FAR.

The clip shows a caveman by the fire in a cave.

The announcer says THAT'S IT.
OUR FIRST ANCESTORS HAD A LOT OF
HAIR.
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
REALLY HAVE CLOTHES BACK THEN.
SO WHEN THEY GOT COLD, A STRESS
HORMONE CALLED ADRENALINE WAS
RELEASED, CAUSING THE TINY
MUSCLES CONNECTED TO THE HAIR TO
CONTRACT.
WHICH CAUSED THE BUMPS TO APPEAR
AND MADE THE HAIRS ON THEIR
BODIES STAND UP AS STRAIGHT AS A
SOLDIER, WHICH HELPED KEEP THEM
NICE AND TOASTY.
THE SAME HORMONE WAS RELEASED
WHEN THEY GOT SCARED, MAKING
THEM FEEL A LOT BIGGER THAN THEY
WERE AND SCARING PREDATORS AWAY.
BUT AS TIME PASSED, WE LOST A
LOT OF THAT HAIR, MAKING THIS
TRAIT SOMEWHAT USELESS.
AS FOR WHY WE GET THEM WHEN WE
LISTEN TO MUSIC, SCIENCE DOESN'T
EXACTLY KNOW THIS YET, BUT
THAT'S OKAY.
I'M SURE WE'LL FIND OUT SOON
ENOUGH.

Lucas says WOW, AND NOW WE KNOW.

Laura says NOW WE KNOW.
EXACTLY.

Lucas says NOW WE KNOW.

Laura says HALLOWEEN TOMORROW.

Lucas says GOOSE BUMPS.

Laura says I WANT TO GET SCARED.
I WANT TO FEEL SPOOKED.

Lucas says YEAH, OFTEN WE LIKE TO TELL
SCARY STORIES ON HALLOWEEN.
LET'S SEE WHAT SCARY STORIES YOU
GUYS ARE TELLING.

Laura says TELL US A SPOOKY STORY!

A boy in an orange sweatshirt holds a flashlight up against his face and says ONCE THERE WAS A GIRL, HER
NAME WAS ISABELLE.

A girl in a tie-die sweatshirt says THE GIRL WAS BABYSITTING FOR
TWO KIDS.
AND THEN SHE PUT THEM TO BED AND
WENT DOWNSTAIRS TO WATCH
NETFLIX.

A girl in a black sweatshirt says AND THEN A BAT, BUT NOT JUST
ANY BAT, IT WAS A YELLOW BAT.
THE BAT WAS HOLDING A BANANA.

The girl in the tie-die sweatshirt says THE MOM TEXTED HER TO CHECK
IN.

The girl in the black sweatshirt says IT HAD ATEN TOO MANY BANANAS.

The girl in the tie-die sweatshirt says SHE SAID EVERYTHING WAS OKAY,
BUT THE CROWD STATUE WAS REALLY

BED STARING AT HER, THAT JUST
GRINNED.

A girl in a hot pink sweatshirt says SO SHE WENT BACK TO
SLEEP VERY WORRIED.

The girl with curly brown hair says BUT THIS MARSHMALLOW WAS NOT
NICE.

A boy in a blue sweatshirt says SO YEAH, WHO WANTS TO COME
WITH ME TO CHECK OUT THE BUSHES?

A boy in a gray T-shirt says SKELETONS, SPOOKY SCARY
SKELETONS.

A boy in a black sweatshirt says I CAN SEE YOU.

The boy in the gray sweatshirt says AND I TOLD MY MOM IT WAS TOO
SCARY STORY, AND THE POWER WENT
OUT.
AND MORE INFORMATION, AND THE
POWER JUST CAME BACK ON.

The girl in the black sweatshirt says AND NOW EVERYBODY TURNED YELLOW
AND THEY WERE ALL TURNED INTO
BANANAS AND GET EATEN!
OOH!
THAT WAS REALLY BAD.

The girl in the tie-die sweatshirt HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

(music plays)

The opening of "Tre fort news" rolls.

Landon says WELCOME TO TREE FORT NEWS.

POLYCEPHALUM.
IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR ONE BILLION
YEARS, AND IT'S CAPABLE OF
ADVANCED DECISIONMAKING.
IT CAN LEARN HOW TO GO THROUGH
COMPLEX MAIZE MAZES AND FIND
FOOD.

Landon says OH, WELL, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
TERRIFYING.
IT'S A TERRIFYING BOB, BUT...

Jacqueline says NO, NO, THIS IS VERY... IT
CAN GROW TO THE SIZE OF A SQUARE
METRE.
I MUST HAVE FED IT TOO MUCH
OATMEAL.
NO, IT'S FINE.
YOU CAN CUT IT IN HALF AND IT
WILL REGENERATE ITSELF IN LESS
THAN TWO MINUTES.

Jacqueline fights back Bob.

Landon says JACK-KEY-LINE, CALM DOWN.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE BOB.
NO NEED TO PANIC, JACK-KEY-LINE.
I THINK BOB HAS EATEN
JACK-KEY-LINE.
OKAY, WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE
CONCERNING.
MAYBE STAY AWAY FROM BOB.
BUT YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU...
OH.

The signal is lost.

Landon says YES, CONCERNED.
BOB HAS EATEN JACK-KEY-LINE.
WELL, IT WAS NICE KNOWING HER.
NEXT UP IN NEWS, IT IS TRUE THAT
I KNOW A LOT ABOUT SCIENCE, AND
SO I WILL MAYBE TRY TO FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT BOB.

Bruschetta says SO BOB'S NOT VERY FRIENDLY,
EH?

Bob approaches them in the studio and they scream.

[Laughter]
[Screaming]
