Max's POV
"Max, can we go trick-or-treating for Halloween?" Nudge asked, hopping up and down. "Please please please please?"
"Nudge! Shut up!" Iggy yelled from the other room. "My ears are bleeding!" Nudge just went on talking. "I want to be a cheerleader for Halloween. Or maybe a movie star. I could have these big glasses and – "
"Okay," I grumbled, "fine." Anything to make her shut up.
"Yay!" she cheered, skipping into Ella's room. We were at my mom's house. Gazzy ran over to me. "We're going trick-or-treating?"
"I guess."
"Cool! When can I get my costume?" he asked.
Soon the all of the younger kids and Iggy were all talking excitedly about Halloween. I wished I'd never told Nudge we could go trick-or-treating.
Fang appeared behind me. I hated when he did that. "They're going trick-or-treating?"
"Yeah. Are you gonna wear a costume?"
He shrugged. "Don't count on it."
The next day we went to the store to buy costumes. "I'm the Hulk!" Gazzy shouted, running around the store in an Incredible Hulk costume.
I turned to Angel. "Find anything you like, sweetie?"
She held up a white dress and a halo. Should've guessed. "I'm going to be an angel. Total can be an angel too."
"No way," Total said. "Not for a million sirloin steaks."
Eventually Nudge wrestled Total into one of those dumb dog costumes. "This is like torture," Total whined, trying to chew his superman cape off.
About an hour later everyone had their costumes picked out. "Max?" Angel asked. "Can I wear my costume now?"
"Sure." I told her. She threw her dress on over her T-shirt and jeans and placed the halo on her head.
"Maaax!" Nudge called. "I got you a costume!" Oh no. I was not going to wear a costume. Nudge ran over, holding a cheerleader costume identical to the one that she had picked out. "We can be twins!"
I didn't really feel like explaining to Nudge that we couldn't be twins because she had dark skin and dark hair and I had light skin and blond hair.
"What costume is it?" Iggy asked. Gazzy had helped him pick out a grim reaper costume.
"It's a High School Musical cheerleader outfit!" Nudge said. "I'll be Sharpay and you can be Gabriella!"
And Fang can be Troy, I thought. "Come on, Max!" Ella said. "Wear it!"
"Yeah, sure, whatever." And the rest of the flock and Ella started cheering.
