Plot
The episode starts with Ashley talking to her mother on the phone, telling her all about how she's excited for her first Halloween in Diamond City and how she's going trick-or-treating with her friends. Her mother tells her to be careful, brave, but most of all, to have fun. After hanging up, Ashley starts making her preparations for her costume as the sun sets.

The other kids wait outside her door, wondering if Ashley was still going to join them for trick-or-treating. As she opens her door with a creak, Ashley is dressed as a candy witch, while her demon partner, Red is dressed as a mummy (which was the result of a toilet paper accident in the bathroom). 9-Volt is dressed as a vampire, Penny is dressed as Red, Ana is a ghost, Kat is a lion and Young Cricket is Frankenstein, but of course, Ashley knew that it was her friends in costumes, so she was not afraid of them. They start taking a stroll around Diamond City as the moonlight shines over them.

What most didn't know about Diamond City during Halloween was that monsters would go out and play at night, organising an annual spook out of their respective dimensions to unlucky passers-by. As excited as the gang were, they had to be cautious about these monsters.

As they walk towards the old barbershop, the gang encounter the Sneaky Spirits, who jump out from behind the walls to say "Boo!" the spirits scare Red and 9-Volt, causing them to cling to each other in fear. Luckily, Cricket wasn't afraid of the spirits, so he pets their heads to comfort them. Ashley also ignores the spirits, knowing that there was nothing to be afraid of.

As the city gets darker, the gang pass by a music shop. Although the shop was closed at night, they could hear instruments being played, specifically an electric guitar, bass guitar and drums. When they peep in to investigate, it turns out that there was a band of ghosts playing the instruments, which made Penny scream. Once again, Cricket pets Penny's head to calm her down, glaring at the ghosts for scaring her. The ghost band apologises to Penny, saying that they didn't mean to scare her. When they ask if anyone else was scared, everyone nodded, but Ashley denied it, although she was quivering a bit from how dark it was getting.

As they approached a bus stop to visit their friends, they come across a demon wearing a mask, asking them for directions. The demon startles Kat and Ana, who slice off his mask to reveal a more sinister face underneath. When the ninja twins scream, the demon screams back in fear. Of course, Cricket calms the three of them down again, before the group get on the bus.

Now that Diamond City is at its darkest, Ashley starts to show her fear even more. She tries covering her eyes during the ride and tries to look for something to cling to, but couldn't. When her friends ask if she's alright, Ashley starts crying and admits that she is afraid of the dark unless she cuddles her stuffed bunny, which she had left at home to carry her candy bucket. After they get off at the next stop at the park, Cricket pulls Ashley aside and tells her that everyone is afraid of something, even witches. As Ashley wipes her tears, she hugs Cricket, letting him pet her head while saying "There, there". Once Ashley was calm, the both of them walk the whole way to their friend's houses. On the way there, some Space Bunnies hop and block their path, startling Cricket and causing him to scream. Everyone else laughs at him, but Ashley holds his hand to calm him down, ending the episode as she says "There, there".
