ALMA: “Trick or Treatasaurus” ALMA: Happy Halloween!
Make way for the Alma Train.
First stop, the front porch.
MAMI: [singing] Ghosts, bats, and pumpkins!
Such a spooky sight!
Today is Halloween and I love this spooky night!
[witch cackle] ALMA: Mami is way, way, way into Halloween.
CHACHO: [panting] ALMA: Chacho?
MAMI: [in witch voice] No, no, no!
That's not Chacho.
I've used a magic spell to transform him into... poof!
CAT-CHO!
[witch cackle] ALMA: [giggles] ALMA: Sa-weet costume, Chacho.
Oh, I mean, Cat-cho.
JUNIOR: ROAR!!!
ALMA: Sounds like Junior's coming.
Wait ‘til you see his sweet costume!
JUNIOR: ROAR!!
I'm a Juniorsaurus!!
ALMA: Told ya it was good.
JUNIOR: I can't wait to finally go trick or treating in my costume!
Tía Gloria made it just like my picture.
She even got the exact blue I wanted.
See?
ALMA: Oh, that's good.
Can we go trick or treating now?
Please?!
MAMI: Not yet.
Two more hours!
But ya know what we can do now?
Make more decorations!
ALMA: Oh yeah!
JUNIOR: I'm in!
MAMI: Then lez go!
ALMA: Bing, bong!
Next stop, Decoration Station!
ALMA: [train whoosh] Wait!
I don't wanna get my costume messy.
MAMI: What about you, Juniorsaurus?
JUNIOR: No thanks.
I'm never taking off my costume!
Roar!!
ALMA: Not even for a bath?
JUNIOR: Nope.
‘Cause Juniorsauruses never get messy.
We're super-duper careful.
MAMI: [gasps] JUNIOR: Oops.
MAMI: [chuckling] Okay, Juniorsaurus.
MAMI: [witch cackle] ALMA/JUNIOR: [giggles] ALMA: Should my spider have two eyes... or two thousand?!
JUNIOR: Two thousand, of course!
And my pumpkin's gonna have three thousand teeth!
MAMI: Ooh.. [witch chuckle] CHACHO: [growls] ALMA: I don't think Cat-cho likes ghosts.
JUNIOR: It's okay, boy, it's not real.
CHACHO: [barks] MAMI: ¡Ay!
Oh... ALMA: Oh, no.
Your ghost is ruined!
MAMI: It is... MAMI: [in witch voice] Or is it?
Time to work my magic and... turn my ghost into a... ghost-bat!
Squeak, squeak, booooo!
[witch cackle] JUNIOR: Lemme see!
ALMA: Junior!
JUNIOR: Oops.
MAMI: Whoa, careful!
JUNIOR: Sorry.
MAMI: You sure you wanna wear your costume while we paint?
JUNIOR: Yep!
I told ya, a Juniorsaurus never gets messy.
Hm...
JUNIOR: See?
Done!
ALMA: Nice!
MAMI: ¡Excelente!
JUNIOR: And look... totally clean!
Oops.
ALMA: [gasp] MAMI: [gasp] JUNIOR: Huh?
[gasp] NOO!!
I splotched my costume!
ALMA: I gotchu!
JUNIOR: Oh, no!
You made it splotchier!
ALMA: Sorry.
I got this!
MAMI: Hold up!
Let's pop Junior's costume into the washing machine.
That should clean the stain.
[machine buzzer] MAMI: [gasp] ALMA/JUNIOR: [gasp] ALMA: Oh no!
The splotch is even bigger!
JUNIOR: Aww.
MAMI: How is that even possible?
JUNIOR: A Juniorsaurus is mostly blue, like this!
Not splotchy orange.
ALMA: Junior, I think it's time to call...
The Dino Fixer!
JUNIOR: Um, excuse me... who's that?
TÍA GLORIA: [trills] Make way for...
The Dino Fixer!
JUNIOR: Hm.
TÍA GLORIA: ¡Alright, mi gente!
My peoples!
We've got just enough time to make a new costume before trick or treating.
Let's find that fabric of yours.
JUNIOR: And it's gotta be blue like this!
TÍA GLORIA: Yep!
ALMA: Got it!
MAMI: Lez go, people!
ALMA: How about this, Junior?
JUNIOR: Too stripey and not the right kinda blue.
MAMI: Hm.. Will this work?
JUNIOR: Too dark blue and dotty.
TÍA GLORIA: Ooo!
Sparkly!
TÍA GLORIA: Too sparkly, I get it, I get it.
JUNIOR: I found it!
JUNIOR: Ta-da!!
JUNIOR: Oh.
Uh... do you have more of this?
TÍA GLORIA: Aww, lo siento, Junior.
This is all I've got.
MAMI: That's not enough to make a costume.
JUNIOR: Aww, I can't go trick or treating if my costume isn't right.
ALMA: No way!
Junior's not gonna miss trick or treating tonight.
Mami, can I try something?
MAMI: Sure, m'ijita.
ALMA: C'mon, Junior.
I've got an idea!
ALMA: I bet we can find you a new costume.
JUNIOR: But I wanna be a dinosaur.
ALMA: I know, but maybe there's something else you‘d like to be just as much as a Juniorsaurus.
Ooh!
ALMA: How's this?
JUNIOR: Aw.. Not a dinosaur.
ALMA: [wind-like whooshes] JUNIOR: I feel super... but not very dinosaury.
ALMA: [effort] Almost, Junior!
ALMA: This pumpkin costume used to be Junior's favorite when he was little.
JUNIOR: I like it!
But.. it's.. too.. uh.. small.
ALMA: Hm..
JUNIOR: I really wanted to be a Juniorsaurus for Halloween.
But if I can't be that, then I don't wanna be anything.
I'll just stay home.
ALMA: Junior can't miss trick or treating!
But what can we do about his costume?
I gotta think about this.
JUNIOR: I splotched my costume!
ALMA: Junior's costume is so messed up... ALMA: We couldn't even clean it.
ALMA: He didn't like any of the costumes he tried though.
Except for the pumpkin... but it didn't fit.
ALMA: Is there anything else he could be?
A cat?
A bat?
A ghost?
[gasp] Wait, a ghost-bat.. MAMI: [in witch voice] Time to work my magic and... turn my ghost into a... ghost-bat!
Squeak, squeak, booo!
[witch cackle] ALMA: I wonder if we can turn the Juniorsaurus costume into something else?
Oh!
I know what to do!
ALMA: Hey, Junior, do you want to be a... Pumpkinsaurus for Halloween?
JUNIOR: What's that?
ALMA: It's part dinosaur, part pumpkin.
And totally spooky!
JUNIOR: A Pumpkinsaurus, huh?
JUNIOR: Dinos, huddle up!
What do you think?
[dino whispers] I'm not sure.
[dino whispers] Really?
Good point.
Okay.
ALMA: What did they say?
JUNIOR: My dino crew says they want to meet the Pumpkinsaurus!
ALMA: One Pumpkinsaurus coming right up!
TÍA GLORIA: Pumpkin.
ALMA: Pumpkin!
TÍA GLORIA: Scissors.
MAMI: Scissors!
[scissors cutting] TÍA GLORIA: Dino costume.
TÍA GLORIA: It's okay, Junior.
This plan, it's gonna work.
Know how I know that?
JUNIOR: ‘Cause you're the Dino Fixer?
TÍA GLORIA: You know it, baby!
LUCAS: Oooo.. RAFIA: [in a spooky voice] Happy Halloween!

LUCAS: Love it!
RAFIA: And in this section, I'm gonna be the Spooky Dribbler.
RAFIA: Dribble-dribble.
Dribble-dribble!
LUCAS: And I'm gonna do the big scare at the end!
ALMA: You sure?
LUCAS: I know, I know..
I don't usually like scary.
But if I'm doing the scaring, I don't mind!
RAFIA: Yeah.
‘Cause then you know how much scary there is, right?
LUCAS: Mmhmm.
RAFIA: So what are you gonna do?
LUCAS: I'm gonna jump down from the ceiling inside a giant floating basketball!
ALMA: Uh, Lucas... That sounds a little too scary.
RAFIA: Yeah, if you did that, even I'd run home!
LUCAS: Or..
I can just pop out and say, “Boo!”, and give kids stickers and toys and stuff!

I did make things more spooky.
I thought that was fun.
And everyone loves spooky, right?
KIDS: AHH!!
FRANKIE: AHHH!!
LUCAS: That was just scary enough!
If it were any scarier I think I would've run home!
ALMA: Hmm, maybe I made things too spooky?
Oh!
I know what to do.
RAFIA: Maybe I'm not dribbling my basketballs spookily enough?
LUCAS: Is it me?
Should I say, “Boo” differently?
[in a spooky voice] Boo!
Booo!
BOO!
ALMA: Uh, I think I figured it out.
I'll be right back with more people!
ALMA: Hey, Junior!
