‘Twas the night before Halloween, and all through the BYC,
It's the taste of autumn and the warm colors of the leaves. 🍂🍁
The sweet magic of the holiday dedicated to the dead that makes us think of those who are no longer here... @grogu_lloveyou
The thing to remember,
In the month after September,
Is that the children will party and play
As we prepare to celebrate Candy Day.
For there’s a certain magic in the air,
Along with a whisper of the word “beware”.
It was a dark and stormy night, and all the babies of Clan D’Rogu were tucked into their beds, sound asleep. All, that is, except one, Florien de Flambards.
Florien could not sleep.
As the wind howled and the rain lashed the windows, Florien could not stop thinking about the short film he had watched earlier that day: Da Shiny.
The images of distorted faces and sinister twins still swirled in his mind.
All of a sudden, there was a loud crash, and poor Florien jumped three feet into the air.
What could it possibly be?
Florien switched on the light, and … @clan_d.rogu
Well, would you look at that!
It was a dark and stormy night.
I found a ghost 👻 and a cute little bat 🦇.
The ghost 👻 invited me to go with them.
The little bat 🦇 told me: “My favorite thing about Halloween is finding candy". @babygrogufofinho
I named the sweet ghost Fofinho, and the cute, little bat I called Will.
I told my new friends that: “My name is Florien, and you just might find some M&Ms hidden in the pocket of my great coat.”
This new friendship is a reminder that not every bump in the night has to end in a fright.
But will there be a happy ending every time there’s a clatter,
& someone jumps out of bed to see what’s the matter?
As the mists begin to swirl, let’s see if Mimi will be a brave girl…
It was a dark and stormy night, we were all sleeping. 🌚💤 🌌
Suddenly I heard a creaking sound from the door of the next room and woke up with fear. 🚪😳
I immediately got up from my bed and walked towards the direction of the sound. 🛏️
I noticed a small shadow passing by me. 👤
I decided to follow the shadow.
The shadow was moving very fast. 😲 Just like a ghost. 👻
I couldn’t go alone because I was afraid, so I ran back to the room. 👣
I woke up my siblings Milo, Kivi and Üzüm, and I told my siblings what happened. 💬
At that moment, lightning struck with a very loud sound. 🌩️⚡️
We were all very scared and shouted. 😱
After a while we decided to follow the shadow. 👤
At that moment we heard a sound from upstairs. 👂
My siblings and I went upstairs and entered the room where the sound came from.
There was a blanket moving on the floor. 😬 It looked just like a ghost. 👻
We were very scared.
My siblings and I lifted the blanket.
Our furry fwend Alvin was looking at us with wide, frightened eyes. 👀😳
It was a very scary night for us. 😦🌌 @milo_mimibabyoda
Shadowy figures and lots of bad weather
Were no match for 4 siblings who stuck together.
Great job to Milo, Kivi, Üzüm, & Mimi!
Now, let’s see what’s going on with the family of Beanie.
In their own words, they tell quite a tale:
Our favourite thing about Halloween is dressing up like pumpkins. Each member of our family dressed in a different pumpkin outfit and we form a cute pumpkin patch. @the.child.yoda.baby.plush
When it comes to talk of costumes and gear,
It quickly becomes clear that what Beanie and family holds dear
Isn’t about creating fear, but spreading lots of fun Halloween cheer.
With visions of sweet orange pumpkins dancing in our heads,
We can rest soundly, tucked into our cozy beds.
But perhaps not all babies will be so lucky.
Some like Colli will read tales of woe written by Poe.
While De Baby and Ellie watch scary movies starring Chucky.
And others know that sleep will fade as their hunger starts to grow.
Imagine the sight:
It was a dark and stormy night,
and Gordis, a brave little baby was getting hungry after staring at the rain.
He was heading to the kitchen when there was a big loud bang!!
And the lights turn off.
Gordis now a little scared, but acting brave, still went to the kitchen because his belly said to him "feed me, I'm starving and I want snackies now"
But then Gordis saw something from the corner of his eye and froze in his steps.... @gord_dis
Somehow, someway
Standing before Gordis in the kitchen doorway
Were 5 more hungry babies looking for an entrée or buffet.
Welcome, Little Green, Hermi, Ali, Iity-Crit, and tiny Liten with a craving for gourmet.
Now, there were 6 babies huddled altogether.
Fear and hunger mingled together.
They closed their eyes, but it was no use.
That bad weather continues on the loose.
It was a dark and stormy night when the porch lights started flickering,
the phone started ringing....
there was a BANG at the door...
it was just our nuggie delivery!! 😂 @grogulittlegreen
Who knows why the fates
Brought together these 6 mates.
But Gordis and Little Green and his family were only too happy to share
A meal of nuggies and calming tea, as they gathered on an easy chair.
Now, it’s time to set the scene.
Let’s talk about what it’s like to be cute and green.
And on the eve of Halloween,
We want to know about your spooky fashion routine.
Cecil Grogu’s favorite thing about Halloween is getting dressed up in his homemade onesie (painted on by his Momma) for the season!! 🎃🖤 @justthatstarwarsgirl
For sweet Yodito, Spooky Season isn’t about putting on clothes,
Costumes, disguises, or decorative bows.
Instead, he tells a tale of a familiar fashion phenomenon:
An odd mystery that keeps repeating in the wee hours before dawn.
To hear Yodito tell it, the story goes something like this:
It was a dark and stormy night, flashes and witches flying in the sky, while two friends walked towards the castle. 🏰 Suddenly, I turned around, and my friend Thaddy without pants remained!! @baby.yodito_
Then there are others,
Who have to deal with the pranks of their mothers.
How can one feel secure
In the presence of creepy couture?
Imagine this sight:
It was a dark and stormy night.
The rain rattled the windows and the wind howled through the house.
Thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and trees cast ghostly shadows.
Ten little green beans huddled on the sofa, bowls of nuggies and candy spread before them.
And then, a spooky figure emerged in the doorway...
"Oooohhhhh" it cried!
"Mama, take that sheet off now, we're trying to watch our movie!" the babies yelled!
@helenlovesgrogu
When it comes to things like ghosts, ghouls, and a witch’s broom,
Dear Stewie and his family want no part of all this doom and gloom.
You see, Stewie likes picnics and Lego bricks.
He wants lots of candy and absolutely no tricks.
In fact, Stewie’s favourite thing about Halloween is to see da creativity of all my fwends, the different costumes, the crafted decorations and da spooky snackies! 🎃👻 @stewie_thechild
Do you see how’s Stewie’s set the mood
For a sweet Halloween celebration that doesn’t include
Any creepy crawlies or talk of healthy food.
If you like your Halloween festivals
Free of stories about vegetables,
It’s best to turn away from the next spectacles.
It was a dark and stormy night when my Mamalorian brought home something green. I had heard about this evil and vile thing from my friends in baby yoda school. I knew I was in danger. I immediately called da B.A.B. team. And @therealbabyyodasweden came with da B.A.B. car and saved the day. This is da story of da broccoli busters. 😂 @boebibvb
Can you imagine the reaction of poor De Baby,
When he came face to face with something so scary.
Instead of Halloween costumes,
His Mamalorian brought home legumes.
From the horror of these broccoli clusters,
De Baby was thankfully saved by Dodis, one of the legendary Broccoli Busters.
Now that you’re good and properly scared,
Let’s see how another BYC icon fared
In another broccoli encounter for which he was unprepared.
It was a dark and stormy night, a Teenysaurus was searching for some yummies! He searched and searched, but all he could find was broccoli!! 🥦🚫 It’s an outrage he rawred, and went back inside to where the choccy was!! 😂😂😂 @teeny_tinyyoda
We all know that Teenysaurus thinks broccoli’s yucky,
But having lots of choccy is certainly very lucky.
Because if you’ve been following the news,
There’s plenty of babies singing the blues.
Missing food and stolen snackie snacks;
These are just some of the things Beb’s facing due to his empty candy sacks.
It was a dark and stormy night when Beb realised all da snackies were gone. 😱
He searched high and low throughout the house... then he heard small giggling and rustling sounds fwom under da bed covers.
Using all his bravery, he sneaked up and threw the covers back...
It was Zuzu and Tiny herd Pip wif all da snackies!!!!! Whew!! 😍 @my_little_beb_grogu
Lucky for dear Beb, all his snackies were recovered,
But what about all the poor babies whose missing treats remain undiscovered?
It was a dawk and stowmy night and Glücksbärli wanted to eat a sausage. Mommy fowced me to eat bread, so I went and got a piece of bread. When I came back, my sausage was gone. 😨 @fantastic4_kidz
It was a dawk and stowmy night. Timmy’s stomach was wumbling and I decided to have some honey. But when I opened my honey pot it was empty. 😭 @fantastic4_kidz
It was a dawk and stowmy night. Lucky seawched fow a cookie to go wifh my hot chocolate. When I wanted to take a sip, the cup was empty. ☕️ @fantastic4_kidz
It was a dark and stormy night, and all Yod's pizza was missing! He looked everywhere, and that's when he saw Reeses the cat hissing.... @babie.grogu
So many stories that start out the same,
But will we ever find out who’s to blame?
Our only witness to these crimes
Is entitled to 9 lifetimes.
If only Reeses the cat
Could tell us if all this food’s been stolen by slippery thief or a vampire bat.
Or maybe this pretty feline
Is the real cat burglar who’s trying to increase her own waistline?
There’s so many mysteries up in the air,
But truly this is no time for despair.
Because for every case of stolen or missing treats,
We have examples of clever babies who’re brewing up their own Halloween eats.
⛈️It was a dawk and stowmy night, Behbeh and Evewest wewe expewementing with magic potions again. ⚗ Wast time dey accidentawy switched bodies, and dey don't want to go thwu dat again! 😱⚡Dey just want to enhance Behbeh's fohce powuhs and da Yeti's magicaw powuhs so they can easiwy pwocuwe da best Hawoween snacks evahhh! 🎃 Wishing evewyone a Happy Octobuh! 🍫🍭🍪🍬🍩 @sleepytiki_luvs_disney
And in another household far, far away,
Sweet Pea and his wonderful family are using pumpkin puree
And other ingredients to tickle their taste buds, today.
It was a dark and stormy night, and many baby yodas were stuck at home, too scared to even peek behind the curtains and look in the window. They were trying to cheer themselves by trying on their new Halloween outfits, eating Halloween candy, and someone was even trying to come up with a brand new recipe for pumpkin spicey poppycorn. @sweet_pea_and_lumi_sampo_yoda
Speaking of things that are nice like pumpkin spice,
There are lots of ways that Spooky Season can be a paradise.
My favourite thing about Halloween is seeing all the creative costumes, dishes & drinks at a party, and eating pumpkin pie. 🎃😋😉🧡🖤🧡💞 @smart_babyyoda
And for Cody and his sweet brothers from France, their favourite thing about Halloween 🎃 is to see the decorated houses, especially those of our American fwends. 🇺🇸🏠🤗! @my_cute_grogu
It’s also good to know that on the streets, beyond that long, dark shadow
Could be our fwendz Grogu, Bliss, Faith, Halo, and Pistachio.
They remind us that even though it was a dark and stormy night, but we were not scared. We were going trick or treating with all of our sweet cousins in the BYC! 🧡🎃🍁🖤 @candice_marie214
From tales of sweet and happy trick or treaters,
We’ll turn our attention to unexplained curiosities and fire eaters.
In our first house you’ll find that it’s ever so strange
To see one of our Skool Valedictorians fly into a rage.
On a dark and stormy night, a loud crash pierced the midnight air.
What happened?
Inside a cozy house, Pringle and Peanut were deep into a Monopoly game when Pringle made the winning move, bankrupting Peanut.
Furious, Peanut shattered a glass of juice and hurled the board across the room.
The noise echoed into the night, startling nearby hedgehogs and foxes.
Pringle quickly brought snacks to calm Peanut, and soon they settled down to watch an episode together. @baby.yoda.peanut
But what could cause a boy who’s usually so calm
To suddenly explode like a ticking time bomb?
Was it something as simple as a hungry tummy,
Or could it have something to do with an ancient mummy?
It was a dark and stormy night, with wind howling through the trees, and loud claps of thunder every few minutes. But then Baby Yo-Yo heard a noise that was not like the others. Was there someone, or something, inside the house? @baby_yoyos_adventures
A shadow. A shuffle. A bandage moving across the floor.
Poor Baby Yo-Yo was understandably frightened to the core.
Could there really be a mummy on the loose?
If we read another story, maybe we’ll find an explanation or excuse.
It was a dark and stormy night and Henry awoke to a dark figure hobbling in the doorway. It was carrying a large stick and mumbling ………. @babyhenryyoda
Oh, dear! Oh my!
Did Henry see a mummy or a Michael Myers type bad guy?
There’s too many unknowns,
And a sense of fear is running through my bones.
Let’s try one more house
To determine if we’re dealing with a monster or mouse.
It was a dark and stormy night, the Bean Clan were rushing around the house lighting candles, 🕯️ as the wind howled outside!
Suddenly one of the candles went out! 😱
They heard a door creak!
Kara turned to JB and Navy “what was that?”, she screamed!
Navy told her it was just your little brothers coming out of the bedroom! 🤣
“But what about the candle?” She said…. 😳😱 @blizzard1947
That the flame of Kara’s candle went out
We have no doubt.
The cause could be a mummy or ghost
Or some other supernatural host.
But maybe there’s a logical reason,
And it’s got nothing to do with Spooky Season.
It could simply be the wind or a moth drawn to the flame.
But most likely the fire was eaten by some fire beetles impossible to tame.
All that we can say for sure
Is that with all of these mysteries, it’s hard to feel secure.
And if the absence of light can cause such a fright,
What about a song that turns itself on as the shadows grow in the pale moonlight?
As the clock strikes midnight,
It was a dark and stormy night,
and all of a sudden, the radio in the Babies room started playing a song… one of mama’s favorite Halloween songs.
Our Babies Endora and Charlie Martino jumped in fright and rushed to turn the radio off, but it wouldn’t, so the Babies called out to mama and dada who rushed in the room.
The Babies explained to them what was happening, so dada unplugged the power cord right at the end of the song, and the radio stopped playing.
The Babies were relieved until mama reminded them that they needed to get ready for their friends’ birthdays as they were already late… they left the room to get ready themselves.
But, as Endora and Charlie were putting their coats on, the unplugged radio started playing again… @biscottinoebimbobabyyodas
As Endora and Charlie waited for someone to shout “Boo!”,
Again and again, the familiar tune of “I Put A Spell on You”
By Screamin’ Jay Hawkins filled the night air,
Giving these poor babies quiet a scare.
Even with the radio unplugged, the song persisted,
Until that fateful moment when it finally shifted.
As soon as Endora and Charlie heard “On Top of the World”,
They laughed, until their frightened toes uncurled.
You see, the Imagine Dragons song could only mean one thing:
That Chopek and CJ were behind everything.
These silly, panda-loving boys wanted to play a few tricks,
As a way to have some spooky fun on the night of ghosts and broomsticks. @chopekthechild
And while it might sound cliché
From two boys whose Mom likes to crochet,
But Chopek and CJ brought a great big donut buffet
And some handmade toys as a treat for all the little tricks they did play.
Chopek’s fun personality is very familiar to his Art Show teammate, Cherry.
And when she’s not in her Lounge preparing cocktails with lime and cranberry,
She’s probably at home with Mango, Lemon, Mocha, and Oreo, as is customary.
In Cherry’s family, their favorite thing about Halloween 🎃 is to watch Halloween movies with popcorn 🍿 & Pumpkin pie! 😋😆🧡 @daddy_love_grogu
And while everything here was calm and pleasant,
There’s something that needs our attention at present.
Over in the UK,
It was a dark and stormy night and The Womprats were kept awake not by the storm but Smol’s snoring. @groguthewomprat
With so many Womprats unable to sleep,
They were right by the phone, when it went beep.
A call from Germany, rang again, bleep, bleep.
This time they answered, and their poor friend Grogu was ready to weep.
It was a dawk and stowmy night. I had picked some beautiful flowews for Gwandmalowian, but when I wanted to put them in a vase, they wewe all wilted. 🥀 @fantastic4_kidz
The Womprats assured Grogu that they knew just what to do.
They boarded some planes, and to America they flew.
Without any further ado,
They made their way to a house that was a bit like a zoo.
A quick knock at the door,
And Grogu and the Womprats were greeted with the warm rapport
Of Munchkin and Atlas, and the sounds of a friendly uproar.
It was a dark and stormy night and the Snackie babies and their fwiends gathered to watch movies and eat poppycorn. Grogie jumped into the poppycorn tub, and suddenly da poppycorn went everywhere. @baby.yoda.aka.munchkin
It seems that what Grogu and the Womprats really needed was some Halloween cheer
In the company of their friends so dear.
And while all the babies here had fun for hours,
The same cannot be said for those over at Patu Towers.
It was a dawk and stowmy night when ebwyone was super bowed and didn’t know what to do.
Dey was like, we gots no choccy o nuggies o nuffin.
Dis is wike da worst nitemare eber!
Just when dey was gonna die fwom bowrdom, witerawwy, dey heard a *oontz ooontz*.
Whas dat?
Dey hear again *oontz oontz oontz*.
Den der bum bums did a wittle bounce. And den anover.
Den dey bum bums was bouncin all ober da pwace.
Oontz 🍑 oontz 🍑 oontz 🍑.
It was DA NITE OB DA TWERKIN DEAD.
But Dey wasn’t dead, just super bowed. Until dey twerked, to defffff!!
Da moral ob stowy is always hab a steady suppwy on choccy. Duh! @patutowers
Well, I do declare!
We’ve had quite a scare.
But, now we know that we must always check the grocery list
To make sure that the choccy wasn’t missed!
Our time together is starting to run short,
So take a deep breath, and get ready for the next report.
It was a dark and stormy night and the Nova kids were preparing for a costume party.
All of the kids were upstairs putting the final touches on their costumes, when they heard a knock, knock, knocking on the window, from outside.
They screamed and ran out into the hall, huddling together in fright.
One by one they peaked their little faces around the edges of the door frame, with eyes wide and trembling ears.
That's when they heard it again, the knock, knock knocking from the other side of the window.
They each dared the other to go open the blinds and see who was out there.
Finally Rocket gathered up the courage to go and check.
He inched forward little by little, slowly reaching his tiny hand towards the pull string for the blinds.
He was worried about what he would find because, after all it was a second story window.
He finally was able to grab the pull string just as the knock, knock, knocking came again.
Rocket yanked the cord, pulling up the blinds, as he ran back towards the others for safety.
They were all once again huddled in the hall for support, when Amidala and Keira decided it was their turn to be brave enough to investigate.
As they slowly moved away from the group and around the edge of the door frame, the knock, knock, knocking came again.
They were terrified of what they might find, and as their eyes focused, they let out a sigh of relief and began to laugh until tears rolled down their little cheeks.
The others, confused, looked around the corner and began to all laugh as well, for the knock, knock, knocking had been a silly old tree branch blowing into the window from the storm. @babyyodanova
Did the branch of that old tree
Scare you as much as it did me?
It was cool to see in a situation that seemed pretty grave,
That Rocket, Amidala, and Keira were so very brave!
For the next part of our story,
Food will be our subject category.
It was a dark and stormy night,
and yet Hugo and Leon saw some snackies in the moonlight. 🤭🤭🤭 @trx632
That all sounds innocent enough,
But if things suddenly change, will you remain tough?
It was a dark and stormy night when a shadow appears behind!!
Run away out of its sight, but there’s no way to hide!
Until you notice… it’s one of your siblings looking for yummies! 🤭🤭 @mybabyodadiaries
It doesn’t take much imagination,
To place Yodita in this very situation.
His love of snackie snacks is very well-known,
And he’ll always say yes to having an ice cream cone.
But whereas some babies like Yodita are quick to share,
Some greedier babies just don’t seem to care.
It was a dark and stormy night, the rain was falling off the pumpkins outside, and the lights were flickering.
We heard a creak outside our door!
We got scared 😨 we sent brave Grogu to check.
When he looked it was nobody.
We saw the Halloween lights flickering and got more scared.
Teacher Charlie huddled all of us and noticed something strange… the twins were missing.
And as always, they were being thieves in the night and stealing all da Halloween candy 🍬 before Halloween time! @life_of_baby_yoda_
This little story of Gween Pea and Cwoissant’s candy thievery,
Is a familiar refrain that will likely make Count Behbeh fevery.
Stories of the tiny herd babies stealing and eating to excess
Have really caused poor Behbeh some serious distress.
But if I can have your attention,
We have one more tale to mention.
It was a dark and stormy night when GroguGC, Lola, and little Sarita huddled together in their cozy living room. The wind howled outside, and rain tapped against the windows like tiny fingers trying to get in.
“Tell us a spooky story, GroguGC!” Sarita urged, her eyes wide with excitement.
“Okay,” GroguGC replied, glancing out at the swirling shadows. “Once, in a village not far from here, there was a haunted tree that whispered secrets to those brave enough to listen.”
Lola clutched her stuffed bunny. “What did it say?”
“They say it warned of a lost treasure buried deep beneath its roots,” GroguGC continued. “But every night, the ghost of a wise old owl flew around it, protecting the treasure from anyone who dared to take it.”
Just then, a loud crash of thunder made them all jump. “What if we find the treasure?” Sarita whispered, her curiosity piqued.
“But what if the owl comes for us?” Lola added, her eyes wide.
“Only if we’re not careful,” GroguGC said with a grin. “Maybe we should go look for it tomorrow. But for now, let’s just listen to the storm and stay together.”
The storm raged on outside, but in their little room, the siblings felt safe, knowing that as long as they were together, they could face any spooky story that came their way. @sarita_and_groguGC
As scary as GroguGC’s story was,
I simply love it because
It reminds us that there’s real treasure to be found,
And to find it we don’t have to dig in the ground.
All we need to do, is to be there for each other.
There’s no greater prize than the bonds of friendship we’ve forged together.
And now, my dear friends,
This is where our story ends.
It’s time to put on our costumes, and take to the streets.
There’s fun to be had, and it’s time to get some treats.
Happy Halloween, BYC!
Thanks for writing this Spooky Story with me!
Love,
Étienne
