I really wanted to go to the new Halloween store in the town with my friends. They had so much good stuff there. They even had rare Morbid Industries and Gemmy stuff. All for an affordable price!

But nope! I had to babysit my little brother. "Sorry, guys I'll have to go another time. Sam needs to be babysat." I said, glaring at my brother watching TV. I had to do this often, but was particularly annoyed this time. I had no idea how much longer the store would be opened for!

So, I sat down and watched whatever stupid show Sam was watching. Guess what? It was his "favorite" show, The TingleTiggies. They were a group of these weird...things. I don't know what they even were. They looked like a cross between The Cat In The Hat & a Gremlin. All they did was dance around and act stupid.

Worse of all, my brother is 7 years old! 7 fricken years old! When I was his age, I was watching Avatar and Teen Titans. But, for no good reason, he has to cling onto this show! He outgrew The Wiggles, Barney, Raggs, Yo Gabba Gabba!, but NOT this.

I could only take so much of this crap, so I went into the kitchen for a bite. While I was there, I heard Sam say from the other room: "Are you sure this is a good idea, Pixie Wixie?". Pixie Wixie was one of the TingleTiggies. He never talked to TV characters before, so I decided to confront him.

To my horror, I saw all 5 TingleTiggies standing right in front of Sam! They were in the house! "Look Josh! They want me to be the next TingleTiggie! Isn't that exciting?" Sam exclaimed. I screamed at them to get away from my brother and leave the house.

Then, Pixie Wixie went up to me and spoke. "Either he becomes the next TingleTiggie, or you do. It's up to you!". I didn't want to make the choice I made, but Mom would kill me if anything happened to my brother.

So, I am now nothing more than a character on a TV screen. Just a bunch of pixels. Everyday, I have to do exactly what I did the day before, dancing and acting silly. I am no longer Josh, I am Hokey Pokey, the sixth TingleTiggie.
