"Hey Aubrey, Where did you put my horns?"
It was the Bellas annual Halloween party, every year they partied as if they had never left college. Everyone tried to outdo each other with their costumes, Beca and Chloe normally went for the outrageously cute couple's costumes, which was obviously Chloe's idea. Last year they really out did themselves, no one was prepared for what they planning. Basically every year Stacie would ask Aubrey if she would be her Halloween costume partner and every year Aubrey said yes knowing that she could never think of a costume as good as Stacie would plan out for them, this was before Aubrey asked Stacie on a date. Unknown to the two girls, the rest of the bellas saw the attraction between Aubrey and Stacie and had been trying to hint to them ask the other out. But this all failed. So Chloe had the idea for her and Beca to dress up as Aubrey and Stacie, even they were not actually a couple, it might just give both of them the courage that they both needed. She knew it was a silly idea and that it would provoke a form of a reaction from Aubrey (Which Beca was looking forward to most). Needless to say it worked, when Beca turned up dressed as Stacie, only smaller, and Chloe as Aubrey, complete with blonde dyed hair, the two girls realised how much they acted like a couple already.
This year Aubrey chose the costumes, this never happened and Stacie hoped that it would give her girlfriend the much needed happiness boost to pick the costumes in the future. She always left it to Stacie and only gave a mild form of input for costumes, which was very unlike the Posen attitude. She always told Stacie that it was because she never took part in Halloween as a child, and for the most part that was true, but her father always told her that it wasa waste of time and that she should spend it studying for upcoming tests and not waste it out with her friends. So she never did.
"I think they are by the mirror" She replied, they were going to be five minutes late and she hated to be late, especially when their costumes were so good.
"Got 'em! Are you sure you want to go, I know how much you kinda despise Halloween. We ould always stay in and watch a movie"
"I do not despise it! You're making me out to be some kind of scrooge but the Halloween version. And as temptin as that movie sounds we wouldn't then get to show off our awesome costumes. " Aubrey walked out of their bedroom and into the hallway. "Come on Stace! We really need to go!" Time keeping was never her girlfriend's strong point.
"Alright alright" She quickly shuffled into her shoes and met Aubrey in the hallway. "You do know that they're going to kill us for these costumes" She said to Aubrey as they walked out of their apartment.
"Well it's payback for the costumes last year" She smirked "But with our own twist" She laughed at the thought of Beca and Chloe last year.
"You've got to admit, it did bring us together" Stacie lightly kissed Aubrey's cheek as they were walking to catch a cab.
"It did, and we got to see Beca walk in those ridiculous heels."
As Beca was dressing up as Stacie she had to find the highest pair of heels that she could actually walk in, the shortest skirt and a top that exposed her as much as possible. Needless to say she felt majorly out of her comfort zone.
But this year Stacie and Aubrey were going to beat them at their own game.
This year Aubrey had decided to get revenge on her best friend and the only way to do that was to do what they did, but even better. Stacie had suggested going as an angel and the devil, not knowing of Aubrey's plans to get them back.
So after much discussion and planning they merged their two ideas together.
"It sounds crazy, do you recon we can pull it off?" Stacie asked, admiring her girlfriends plan for revenge.
"Of course we can" Aubrey replied with a grin
So it was decided Stacie and Aubrey would go as Beca and Chloe, but instead of just doing what they did, they gave Chloe the persona of an angel and Beca as the devil. They knew they would see it as revenge and make next year's party very interesting as the other two girls would see this as a challenge.
After a short cab ride they had arrived at Beca and Chloe's house. They paid the driver and turned to walk towards the front door.
"Ready?" Stacie asked
"Ready"
They knocked on the door and then a bubbly redhead opened the front door.
"Oh my lord" The redhead covered her mouth with her hands trying to stop a laugh. "Beca!" she hollered "Come and see who just turned up"
"Well well well what to we have her-" As she arrived at the front door in her Ghost Busters uniform she just stopped and stared. Before her stood Stacie in Converse, black jeans, vest top and a checked shirt. Complete with horns. Horns for Christ sake! And then Aubrey, she was dressed in a dress she could have sworn that Chloe had owned, while Stacie had horns on her head Aubrey had a halo.
"Are you meant to be us?" Beca asked, still rather confused at the sight before her.
"Well yes" Stacie replied
"I love it" Chloe squealed
"I think I like it" Beca spoke "But the horns and the halo you're going to have to explain"
"Well" Stacie cut in "We're you two, but the angel and devil versions. You know since Chloe is like so sweet and you are this moody badass devil"
"And because you two needed payback for last year" Aubrey contributed "You didn't think you would get away that easily, did you?"
"We did have it coming babe" Chloe said to Beca
Beca went off in a huff to get a drink muttering something about how this wasn't over.
"So can we come in then?" Stacie asked "Or are our costumes too good?"
"We'll get you back next year, don't you worry!" Chloe gave a playful glance at the two girls and then moved so that they could get into the house.
"What up Aca-Bitches?" Shouted Fat Amy from halfway across the living room "Nice costumes, see you've channelled Shorty here very nicely" This received Fat Amy a punch to her shark costume from Beca, not that it did much though, Fat Amy designed it this way.
After many drinks everyone was admiring Stacie and Aubrey's costumes saying that if they had made awards for the cheesiest couple's costumes they would win hands down. Beca and Chloe had come dressed up as the Ghost Busters, Fat Amy a shark and the most amusing costume came from Ashley who dressed up as a cartoon dog, complete with face paint and everything.
As the party started to wind down and everyone started to leave Stacie and Aubrey were glad that they decided to stay at Beca and Chloe's, a cab ride home after this party would be hell.
"They were great costumes Bree" Stacie whispered in her girlfriend's ear as they lay cuddled up on the make shift bed on the sofa, they were meant to be sleeping in the spare bedroom, but Fat Amy had crashed out on that hours ago insisting that she was only going to take five minutes.
"I told you that we would get revenge on them" Aubrey smiled "I think next year we can out do ourselves" She knew how Stacie would see that as a challenge to come up with even better and more dramatic costumes.
And so as they fell asleep in each other's arms both girls knew that they would always owe something to these Halloween parties and their ridiculous costume planning, after all it did bring them together.
