Xander was wandering through the new costume shop, a place named Ethan's looking for a costume seeing as the last toy rifle had been bought by some kid just as he was about to take it. Thanks to some young kid, his plans for a cheap and easy Halloween costume were blown out of the water. He was about to leave the shop when the shop owner stepped up from behind him.

"Ahh, good afternoon. Is there anything I can do for you, young man?" He asked with a smile on his face.

Xander jerked away. "Don't sneak up behind people like that." He said.

"sorry" The owner said. "My name is Ethan Rayne and I've been watching you and your friends. The two young ladies that you are with seem to be enjoying themselves, but you seem to be in a sort of funk about something."

"Well, I had planned on going as a soldier for Halloween but that idea just flew out the window," Xander said with just a bit of bitterness behind it.

"hmm, well i do have a medieval type of soldier costume that doesn't seem to be selling its from some Japanese cartoon or something would you like to take a look at it?" Ethan asked him.

"sure it cant hurt to look" Xander truthfully said. "But, I am not exactly rolling in cash right now. That was why I was just going to buy a gun here and use some old army fatigues I picked up."

"i don't really care about money just that someone will buy it" Ethan said as he lead him over to a row of costumes no one was looking at, it was white leotard type thing that cover covered everything but the head with steel shoulder pads,gloves and boots with a massive sword with weird symbol en-scribed on it and lastly a long blond wig with silver contacts.

"there's no way i can pay for this" Xander exclaimed seeing the expensive looking costume.

"well you don't have to buy you could rent it for $10 for just the night if you wish" Ethan replied.

"are you sure?" Xander asked bewildered.

"yes I'm sure, in fact i insist upon it you don't want to go without a costume hmm?" He replied

"thanks" he said paying Ethan and picking up the costume in its bag.

"no problem i just love helping people" Ethan grinned darkly looking at his back thinking about the chaos that will be caused

"yes Janus will be pleased" he laughed to himself before closing the store
