Intro

The episode begins with Kristen visiting Gary in his dad's magic shop. He scares her into thinking he cut off his left alphabetize finger with a mini guillotine. Kristen screams in horror. Then he laughs it off, telling her that the store is where he gets most of his ideas to tell his stories. Such as a pair of super specs. Kristen informs him that his previous stories (ones said off screen) haven't been very scary lately. But he assures her, that he is full of surprises.

That evening at the midnight society's meeting. Eric complains that Gary is slipping. Betty Ann claims Gary has told some of the all-time stories. Kiki waking backwards complains she doesn't know when the last time Gary really scared her was. Ironically, she bumps right into Gary and he gives her a startling scare. Eric and Kiki confront Gary and complain to him about how unscary his stories (the ones told off screen) have been lately. Gary informs them all that David cannot make it, considering he is sick.

Then he takes the seat and convinces them all to give him the do good of a doubt for the evening. He takes the storyteller'southward seat. Then he tells them all the story he is nigh to tell. It is nearly three kinds of people:

People who believe in magic
People who don't believe in magic
People who shouldn't.

Gary throws in a handful of non dairy creamer campfire dust. This is to make the fire more intense while he submits his story for the blessing of The Midnight Gild. He calls his story "The Tale of the Super Specs" and begins his story.

Story

Gary tells the story. It is about a young teenager nicknamed Weeds. Weeds loved playing magic and pulling pranks on people. And since April Fools' Twenty-four hour period was coming, he had to get ready to go all out. And so he happily got himself a bag of magic dust. One that is supposedly made from crushed monkey bones. The dust was supposedly chosen the Dust of Denderon.

His girlfriend Marybeth wasn't besides impressed. She thought they were going to the movies, and non to a childish magic store. Weeds so chants a random incantation. Then he sprinkles some of the grit in the air. Marybeth coughs and looks annoyed. They are unaware that the dust landed onto a bunch of sunglasses.

The sunglasses have a holographic chrome lens on them. Forth with a black spot in the heart of each lens. They gleam and glow when the magic dust has landed onto them. Completely unaware annihilation happened, Weeds claims it was just random. Now Marybeth is annoyed and she begins to question his delivery to their relationship, because of his lack of maturity.

Then they're greeted past the magic shopkeeper Sardo. He wants them to exit the store, if they're not going to buy anything else.

After Weeds calls him Mr. Sardo, he corrects Weeds that his name is just Sardo no Mr. and accent on the Do. Weeds decides to buy the magic pulverization to be prepared for April's fools' day the adjacent day.

Also he notices the unique sunglasses and puts a pair on. Sardo boasts and bluffs that he has sold hundreds and thousands of them to play a trick on them into ownership a pair.

He lies and says they're super specs and that they requite the person 10-ray vision. Weeds is either convinced or simply likes them and decides to buy a pair. Marybeth tries them on. Then suddenly, she tin come across a person in clad nighttime tights, along with a dark mask roofing his entire face.

She is shocked to see information technology. Then later on she takes them off, the dark being is gone. Weeds thinking that Sardo has her going a petty wacko, gives her a sugariness kiss on the cheek farewell.

The next day at outdoor Lunchtime at school, Weeds is little with more than spells. First he places i on a daughter's yogurt. The girls Patty and Katherine lecture him virtually pulling stunts on them. He lies saying it's just kids' stuff. Then after seeing nil is happening when the girl eats her yogurt, he thinks he got ripped off on the magic dust. Nonetheless afterward he leaves, he doesn't realizes the magic trick has worked. So at present the girl has a very high pitched chipmunk voice.

Next Weeds waits effectually the corner while wearing the super specs. He is waiting for his classmate Marker to open his locker. When Mark opens it he gets hitting in the face up with punching gloves. The classmate asks him what the sunglasses are and Marybeth informs him they're super specs. And they are designed to make even Weeds wait cool. Marybeth put'due south them on again. Now she can come across a mysterious Night Lady. This lady is entirely dressed in black. And so when she take off the specs; she is gone.

Weeds thinks she is going all out trying to prank people on April Fools' Day and doesn't not believe her. She puts the specs on again and sees the Dark Lady again. This time continuing near a tree. Weeds still does non believe her. Since he doesn't see anything when putting on the specs. Marybeth puts them on once more this fourth dimension the Dark Lady'due south hand gestures her to come up over to her. Marybeth screams in terror and throws the specs in the trash and storms off.

Adjacent Weeds and Mark are playing basketball. Now Mark bets him if he misses the concluding shot Weeds will buy Marker a soda. Weeds sprinkles magic pulverization on the ball and says some incantation. Marker is puzzled most what he is doing, and Weeds misses the baskets losing the game and having to buy Marking two sodas. Then on their manner out, weeds throws the ball backwards making an instant basket. The two think it might be magic, but they dismiss it and say nah!

Next later school Marybeth is walking and talking with Katherine. She explains all about seeing the dark dressed beings, and the woman who appears whenever she puts on the glasses. She asks if it might just be a joke Weeds is playing. So she is shocked to realize the specs are back in her purse, when she purposely throw them out before that day.

Marybeth goes over to Sardo's magic shop to render the specs. She drops them through the book depository return sideslip on the front door. However, when she gets home one time once more the specs have mysteriously returned to her. They were correct in her backpack this time. She picks them upwardly and places them onto the counter. At present she backs away from them in fright.

Marybeth puts them on again. Now on her stove top appears a golden tea kettle. It is letting out boiling steam. When she removes the specs it is gone in an instant. She put them back on and she can see it again. However after getting a closer wait up close, she notices that the kettle is slightly translucent. So information technology can slightly been seen right through. And so when she waves her hand across it. Her manus goes right through it.

As she makes her style around her house, she can still see and hears things. These things are simply visible while she is wearing the super specs. Such as a fire called-for in the actual empty fireplace. When she gets to the kitchen she sees the Nighttime Lady again. She is terrified and asked her who she is. The adult female just points and suddenly more night beings brainstorm to appear. They keep to walk over to her. She screams in terror and takes off the specs. So Rhey all vanish. Then they reappear every fourth dimension she puts the super specs back on. So she runs away terrified.

Back at the Clearing

Frank remarks with an mental attitude saying that Marybeth should take just burned the specs or throw them out. Betty Ann questions on whether or not the apparitions were actually in that location. Gary says that all the Marybeth knew was that she could just see them, when wearing the super specs. Kiki eagerly asks Gary what Marybeth was going to exercise. Gary says Marybeth could do the just thing she could call up off: Look for Weeds and inquire him to practice.

Back to the Story

Gary continues the story. We come across Marybeth has found Weeds and runs over to completely terrified. Weeds is over again playing basketball with Marker and she tries to explain to him one time again almost the dark beings who appear whenever she puts on the specs. Then as she puts them on again about six of them appear. Besides they are playing basketball with a solid blackness basketball. They appeared to exist coming forward to her. Then she began to scream in fear and ran off for her very life. Weeds with business organization calls to Marybeth "what'due south your problem?" just she didn't come back.

Next Marybeth went to find Sardo at his shop referring to him as Mr. Sardo. She is about to leave when she hears him correct the fashion to say his proper noun and let's her in. With Sardo'southward help they detect out Weeds accidentally cast the spell of second sight onto the gear up's of super specs that are enabling the people who wear them to see beings living on globe from another dimension.

Sardo explains that apparently at that place are e'er different beings living on earth among humans merely we never run across them considering they live in alternate dimensions. Also the spell that was bandage onto the super specs, also opened a window in her house. One that has allowed beings from a parallel universe to crossover and enter the real globe. Some of the these living beings are good and some may be evil and the evil ones may endeavor to dangerously take over. Therefore the enchanted super specs are the only affair that can enable someone to encounter what is happening.

Sardo agrees to try and help counter the spell, but he has no more Dust of Denderon. Since he sold the last pouch of information technology to Weeds who is just almost to affluent it down a toilet thinking it'southward a rip-off. Since he doesn't think it works, but she stops him just in time. Sardo uses a crystal ball and says a magical dirge. Finally subsequently tossing in some of the magic grit the room gets dark. So the crystal ball begins glowing.

When she puts the specs back on again, she is terrified. Now she sees dozens of night beings standing everywhere. Finally they can be seen even without wearing the specs. So now information technology keeps getting worse. Sardo however isn't a very experienced magician. He attempts to finish the spell to shut the window and send them all back. And then The Dark Lady appears again. She at present appears in her true form. Which is a powerful phantom. And then she intercepts them and switches the spell onto them and their world instead. This is considering plain they tampered with the catholic seal. And ii universes can't exist on the aforementioned aeroplane. In order to restore rest, she decided to close off their universe.

And then suddenly all seemed to be normal, in what appeared to be the within of Marybeth's business firm. However information technology was not her firm. Information technology was the house of a girl named Arlene. From the parallel universe, of the night earth. She and a alternate form of Weeds appeared. Arlene asks if the ghosts (referring to normal humans) are gone. The Dark Lady appears and pulls down her hood. And then in a very sinister deep phonation while laughing, she explains that Arlene besides tampered with magic. So she opened a window. to the the light Earth'due south universe. The Nighttime Lady boasts that she luckily got rid of them. And the funny thing was they were trying to get rid of them too.

The alternate Weeds and so asked if they were gone for expert. The Night Lady shows them that Marybeth, Weeds and Sardo's globe are now trapped in darkness within her crystal ball. Then says they won't be bothering them anymore. Equally Weeds, Marybeth and Sardo are all heard crying for aid.

Ending

When the story ends everyone is very impressed with Gary's new story. Kiki in stupor says " Oh man!" Eric says in daze "No way!". Betty Ann says Splendid! Kristen says "So 2 universes were fighting for the aforementioned space, and the other universe won?" Gary says " exactly considering the adult female in black was powerful and Sardo was a imitation. Gary gives Frank, Eric, Betty Ann and Kiki all sunglasses like the super specs. Then they come across a person all dressed in blackness just like in Gary'southward story and Frank, Eric, Betty Ann and and Kiki all run off screaming. Then Kristen tells Gary and I guess your story was scary. The guy in black is revealed to exist David in disguise playing an Apr Fools' day joke with Gary and Kristen.
