AN: So, yeah, this is my yearly Halloween special, even if it is two days late. *sighs overdramatically* This goes along with my story Gleeful Complex. It's supposed to be their freshman Halloween.
"Miki, you're such a dork," I said, laughing at her costume.
"Oh, shut up, Ellis," the country bumpkin said, annoyed. She was dressed in a checkered dress, cowboy hat, and cowboy boots, and was carrying her guitar.
"Chica, you don't even look like you're wearing a costume," Emily said, smirking and adjusting her cop hat. Predictably enough, she was a sexy police officer.
I tried not to laugh and failed.
"Shut up, Ellis," Miki repeated, hitting my shoulder with her pillowcase, which was already painfully half full. I'd only managed to hitch a ride with Emily at around seven. "At least I'm not dressed as a guy."
"Don't hate on my Soul Eater costume!" I said, giving my best impression of Emily's "bitch please" face. "I love Soul. Soul is amazing," I said haughtily, fixing my white-dyed, overly-stiff hair.
"Yeah, let her be a tranny for a day," Emily joked, winking at her.
I rolled my eyes, about to make a comeback when I froze in the middle of the sidewalk, an idea hitting me.
"Oh, Emily," I sang, catching up with them again. "You're making me think of a song."
The two of them looked at me, confused, before Miki gaped and then burst out laughing.
"Oh, no," she managed. "No, not that."
I grinned, ignoring her protest and Emily's blank expression.
"How'd you do?" I belted to the version with actual singing.
"I see you've met my faithful handyman"
I looked over at Emily, who looked far too happy, now that she knew what I was doing, and nodded, signaling her to go next. She did, grinning.
"He's just a little broke down
'Cause when you knocked
He thought you were the candy man"
She nudged Miki, who rolled her eyes, but took the next part.
"Don't get strung out by the way I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a girl by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover"
Emily and I joined back in, coming up with a harmony on the spot.
"I'm just a sweet transvestite
From transsexual Transylvania"
I stepped in front of them, walking backwards as I took over.
"Let me show you around
Maybe play you a sound
You look like you're both pretty groovy"
Emily took it again, dancing as she walked.
"Or if you want something visual
That's not too abysmal
We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie"
McKynleigh took the next part, managing to stop laughing just long enough.
"Well, you got caught with a flat
Well, how about that?
Well, babies, don't you panic"
I sang the next line, trying to make my dodging around kids as smooth as possible.
"By the light of the night"
Emily grabbed it again, moving her hips in a way that showed her outfit off way more than it should've.
"When it all seems alright"
We both looked at Miki, signaling her to take it, which she did.
"I'll get you a satanic mechanic"
The two of us joined back in, with Emily getting the melody this time.
"I'm just a sweet transvestite
From transsexual Transylvania"
I grabbed it back, with Emily and Miki echoing me.
"Why don't you stay for the night?
Or maybe a bite"
Emily grabbed it, this time flipping her hair in an overly-flirty way that I'd seen her use on all too many guys.
"I could show you my favorite obsession
I've been making a man"
Miki took it, mocking Emily's walk, wink and all.
"With blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tension"
Emily and I joined back in. This time I sang melody, Miki sang harmony, and Emily echoed.
"I'm just a sweet transvestite
From transsexual Transylvania
Hey, hey!
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From transsexual Transylvania"
Emily and Miki dropped out, letting me say the next line alone.
"So, come up to the lab," I said, grinning.
"And see what's on the slab," Emily said, ending with her signature wink.
"I see you shiver with antici…" Miki started, making Emily and me lean in, pretending to be worried, "pation."
I took it back, belting again.
"But maybe the rain"
Emily grabbed the easiest line.
"Isn't really to blame"
Miki took it, her voice building on the last word.
"So I'll remove the cause"
Emily and I joined back in one last time, all three of us belting out the last line.
"But not the symptom"
"Who's the dork now?" Miki asked, smirking as I slipped back into my spot on her left.
I rolled my eyes, but any comeback I was going to make was cut off by a wolf whistle. The three of us turned around to see Cameron racing towards us.
"Hey, boo," Emily greeted him, grinning as he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Hey, Em," he said, smiling. "You guys were great." What I found amusing was that his costume went along with Miki's more than Emily's. All he'd really done was put tape on his glasses.
"Thanks, hon," the Latina said, wrapping her arm around him.
I didn't even notice Matheus until he finally caught up with us, breathing just a little too hard. Instead of saying anything, he hit Cameron's arm with his gun.
"Yes, Don Fernandes?" Cameron asked, trying not to look like it hurt.
The Mafia-costumed boy scowled at him. "Dude, you left me! I can't keep up with you!"
I didn't hear what Cameron said next; I was too distracted by Miki's glare at the shorter boy, but I did hear Matheus's annoyed reply of, "Oh, shut up."
He wound up next to me, obviously sulking.
"You okay?" I asked, amused.
"This is not helping my self-esteem," he grumbled.
"How come?" I realized we were dropping farther behind the other three, but didn't really care.
"Do you know how many people have asked Cameron if he's too old to be Trick-or-Treating?" he asked, obviously annoyed.
I laughed a little. "Is that all? No one's asked me that, ei–"
"Five people have called me his little brother," he deadpanned.
I stared blankly, not really knowing what to make of that. "But he's white."
"I know he's white!" the Brazilian exclaimed. "That's kinda the problem!"
I looked back and forth between the two, searching for some form of resemblance. I couldn't find anything.
"Better than me and Miki," I said, trying to make him feel a bit better.
He didn't say anything for a moment before studying me. "Well, maybe if your hair was darker…" he said jokingly, making me laugh.
I looked ahead to see that everyone else was a good twenty feet in front of us.
"C'mon, let's catch up!" I said, grabbing his hand and running to meet them.
I wouldn't have known he was blushing if Miki hadn't told me. And even then I didn't make anything out of it, just like her.
Shows you how smart we are, doesn't it?
AN: Um, yeah... I've had a craving for Mathellis lately, and this is basically my way of getting it out before it disappears in GleeCom. ^^;
In other news, Soul Eater costume FTW! (I wish I could've gone as Soul...) And no, the brother thing wasn't stolen from anything. _ Don't listen to Jordan when she tells you otherwise. R&R!
