Pumpkin Carving 🎃
Chibi Philip and Chibi Caleb are carving pumpkins together!
On his pumpkin, Caleb is carving up a really cool design.
It’s his favorite golden mask that he likes to wear when he and Philip play "Emperor and Guard" together.
When he’s done, Caleb picks up the pumpkin and begins examining it.
A grin appears on his face and it grows immensely at his craftsmanship.
The pumpkin was positively perfect!
A tap is then given to his shoulder by a finger.
When Caleb turns around, he sees Philip with both hands behind his back, eager to share with his older brother a surprise.
A carved pumpkin is promptly pulled out from Philip's back.
It has hollow eyes, long horns, and… a bird beak?
The mask design on Philip’s pumpkin looked oh-so familiar, but Caleb couldn’t put his finger on it.
Hmm…
Nonetheless, the blonde brings a hand down to gently pat the brunette’s soft hair, causing him to smile.
Philip did a smashing job on his pumpkin!
When night falls, Caleb lights up both pumpkins and displays them on the window sill for all to see.

Candy Passing 🍬
Chibi Caleb is handing out candy to trick or treaters with Chibi Philip!
Philip is being a good boy by helping his big brother out.
When Caleb reaches a little hand inside the bowl, it is empty.
That’s strange.
Flipping the bowl upside down, he gives it a shake, and a single dust ball floats down out of it.
Caleb quickly comes to the realization that they’re out of candy.
Bummer.
Not to worry though!
Handing the bowl to Philip, Caleb instructs his little bro through a speech bubble to wait while he goes inside to get more candy, to which Philip happily nods.
When Caleb is gone, Philip spots a small pile of dead animals nearby.
After a small gasp, his big blue eyes sparkle in delight at the sight of the stinky carcasses.
He has an idea!
I think you can see where this is going. XD
A small montage begins of Philip dropping “treats” inside the other children’s bags and buckets.
Meanwhile, inside, Caleb is standing on a small stool, reaching for the big bag of candy in the cupboard.
As soon as he grabs it, he hears the sound of a high-pitched scream from outside, which causes him to jolt up.
That scream didn’t belong to his brother.
Heading back with the candy, a speech bubble with a question mark appears near Caleb’s mouth, as if asking Philip what happened.
Philip simply shrugs at the question with a small smile, a halo appearing above his head.
The little rascal was able to hand out the last of his “treats” to a trick-or-treater who squealed in terror at the dead animal in thier bucket and quickly took off.
When the screen transitions to a solid black, a circle is centered on Philip as he looks at the “audience”.
Grinning cheekily, he raises a finger to his lips, “shushing” the viewers.
The short ends with him winking out a star. ⭐
