The door opens, and two tired-looking young adults drag themselves into the Milliways. It's been a long, hard couple of days and right now all Dani and Enzo want is a change of scenery and some food that's not candy.

Dani doesn't even notice that they haven't been given costumes this year until they've plopped down at a table.

"You guys're gonna make me hungry thinking about it."

He snags the table next to theirs and waves over a waitrat for a grilled cheese and extra crispy fries.

The two are so overloaded on junk food after their Halloween battle, they went for a nutritious salad without a second thought.

"I don't think I ever really understood about moderation until now. Candy does not make good field rations."

Dani nods in agreement. "Sugar crashes suck."

"Oh man, that sucks. Who even thought of that?"

"It's just what there was. We couldn't catch a break to eat real food and one thing that's always available on Halloween is candy."

"I don't think I'm going to be able to even look at a piece of chocolate for a while," says Dani. "Dad's going to be really disappointed."

Too bad Dani is too tired to care right now.

Lucas frowns with a fry halfway to his face.

"But you guys did what you set out to do. Why would yer dad be disappointed?"

Or is she another member of the club nobody wants to be in?

Better for her to explain. "Hey," he notes, "it means more for him."

"Because he really, really likes fudge," Dani explains to Lucas.

To Enzo: "That's true."

Lucas makes a "pfft" before he keeps eating. "That doesn't sound like a problem to me."

"Yeah, I'd call it a win for him, at least."
