It was a dark Halloween night. Gwen was upstairs, getting ready. "Gwen, there's someone waiting for you downstairs!" Her mom called up.

"I'll be down in a minute." She said. She took a glance in the mirror. When she was sure everything was perfect, she headed downstairs.

"Gwen?"

"Kevin, you look great." Gwen told him.

"Not as great as you." Kevin said. Gwen was wearing a black dress with sleeves and a witch hat. Kevin was wearing a tuxedo.

"What are you supposed to be again?" Gwen asked.

"Um, a vampire?" He pointed out.

"Oh." Gwen checked the clock briefly. "We better get going if we don't want to miss meeting the others at the pier."

At the edge of the pier, there was a girl wearing a pink princess dress and hat. When she saw Gwen and Kevin, she smiled. "Hey, guys. I was wondering when you'd show up."

"Wow, you look awesome, Julie." Gwen said.

"Thanks. I worked really hard on this thing." Julie told them.

"Where's Ben?" Kevin asked.

"When I called, he was still getting ready." Julie explained.

"Maybe I could…"

"Just because you're dressed as a witch, it doesn't mean you should try to use your powers." Kevin said.

"Actually, I don't mind." Julie said. "Just don't cast a spell on me." That got all of them laughing.

"Of course not, you're my friend." Gwen said. The three of them walked in. There were tons of people dressed in costumes. There was one person wearing silver armor.

"Great, the last thing we need is a party crasher." Kevin said.

"Kevin, wait!" Julie said. But it was too late. Gwen had taken off, too.

"You're so going down, man!" Kevin knocked the knight over. Gwen's hands were glowing, but Julie got in front of him.

"Stop!"

"Julie, get out of there!" Gwen called.

"Ow!" The knight said, getting up. His helmet fell off. "What is wrong with you guys?"

"Ben?" Gwen and Kevin asked in unison.

"Why are you wearing armor?" Gwen asked.

"It's my costume." Ben told them. "I'm a knight."

"Sorry about before, man." Kevin said. "I thought you were one of those Forever Knights."

"No problem. I could've easily made the same mistake if it were the other way around." Ben pointed out.

"Let's go, my knight in shining armor." Julie said, grabbing his arm.

"Think we should keep an eye on them?" Kevin asked.

"For once, I think they'll be fine." Gwen said. "It's not like this night can be any more of a disaster."

In the shadow of a nearby booth, a young woman looked at them. "I don't know about you, Gwen. But this will be one nightmare you won't forget."
