Authors: R. L. Stine
All three of us are on the gymnastics team at school. So we are pretty strong and athletic.
But we were no match for Peter.
He kept dancing around us, making wide circles. Then he’d dart in and snatch something out of our trick-or-treat bags. He was a total thief.
“Give that back!” Regina cried. She made a grab for the candy bar Peter swiped. “That’s my favorite!”
“Mine, too,” Peter said, dancing away, giggling his head off. He shoved Regina’s candy into his big shopping bag.
Regina didn’t give up easily. She let out a roar and dove at Peter.
He dodged to the side and gave her a hard karate chop — in the neck.
“Ullllp.”
Regina made a horrible noise and started to choke.
For once, Peter stopped dancing. “Oh. Sorry,” he said. “That was an accident.”
“This is an accident, too!” Caroline cried. She lowered her shoulder and plowed right into Peter.
The two of them went rolling into a pile of dry leaves. Peter held on to his trick-or-treat bag for dear life. He swung it at Caroline, and she rolled away from him.
Regina rubbed her throat. “I’m okay,” she said.
“It was an accident. Really,” Peter insisted. He jumped up and trotted over to Regina. He held up his shopping bag. “Take a candy. Go ahead. Take any one.”
Regina eyed him suspiciously.
He shook the bag in front of her. She reached in and pulled out a big Snickers bar.
“Not
that
one!” Peter cried. He grabbed it out of her hand and backed away with it.
Regina let out a groan. “You creep!”
Caroline took Regina by the arm and started to pull her away. “Catch you later, Monica,” she called.
“Hey, wait —” I started after them. “Where are you going?”
