Characters: Sam, and anyone else who stops by
Content: Sam also decides to host some trick-or-treating...
Location: Sam's room on Deck 3
Time of day: Evening, same time as Mike's trick-or-treating
Warnings: Disappointment...


Weird. Every single thing that had happened this week had been so dang weird and outlandish that he just couldn't make sense of it anymore. It made spiky blue hair seem downright mundane in comparison. He barely even bothered lecturing people on its badness...he was certain that in this case, they knew well enough.

Well, Sam was now prepared to give a little more good sense to anyone that wanted to take advantage of this holiday. He also had a bowl by his room's door, although it wasn't filled with candy, but with toothbrushes.

After all, with all the candy these kids were likely to get, it only made sense they get a good toothbrush to keep away cavities.

It was a long-developed habit, especially for Sam, who figured it was practically his job to do this sort of thing. Still, somehow he was making him feel guilty for trying to think about kids' oral hygiene. How did that work? "Wellll...one must consider health and safety on a holiday, too! Otherwise, it could be quite ruined."

He perked up a bit at the next question, though. "Oh, yes, of course!" He reached into the bowl and dug out several of the toothbrushes. "I have red ones, white ones, and of course blue ones, too."

Maes examined the multiple colored toothbrushes. It seemed that Sam was pretty set on this and, at least, he HAD gotten good colors. Maes felt like he was missing something though as far as the colors' significance but shook it off for the moment. Maybe he should just let Sam celebrate the holiday in his own way.

"Not bad. I do have a suggestion though, maybe if you're set on giving out toothbrushes you should give out interesting toothpaste flavors too. I think I saw some in the bathroom a few days ago that said it was Strawberry flavored so there have to be kinds like that on the satellite." He had never seen flavored toothpaste prior to that but if they had Strawberry surely they had better flavors than just mint.

Sam did not much catch onto Maes' ignorance about his patriotic toothbrushes...mostly because he was too caught up in it himself. Of course, in his opinion, nearly every holiday could use an extra touch of the Fourth of July.

And it seemed like Maes had gotten over his hesitation about it, what with a suggestion for toothpaste, too! "Oh! Yes. That is indeed a useful idea! I shall procure some toothpaste in a variety of flavors to pass out as well." He set down the bowl of toothbrushes, and started towards the nearest deck bathroom.

Maes smiled weakly. The problem wasn't exactly solved but it wasn't exactly the time to be debating the proper celebration of a holiday. Oh well, at least Sam was excited. "Good luck. I've gotta finish my own preparations," he turned to head back to his room but stopped. "Oh and Sam, Happy Halloween. Try to have SOME fun, okay?" He wasn't sure if fun was even IN Sam's vocabulary...oh well.

"And a Happy Halloween to you, too," Sam replied as he toddled off to procure that toothpaste. Sam did believe he would have fun...his main problem was that his definition of "fun" was pretty narrow, and didn't include a lot of what others considered fun.
