I just started writing this early in the morning. I wanted to at least start this on Halloween. So without further ado (whatever that means), let the story begin!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
The Costume
Halloween was advancing rapidly and the mutant students went to the Halloween costume store several times already. They would go from shelf to shelf searching for the perfect costume. Kitty, who had already found her costume, was determined to help Kurt with his. He was really picky about his costume and would always be unimpressed with all the vampire and werewolf ones.
"Come on Kurt," she said two days before Halloween. "You'll have to, like, choose something."
"Wait" Kurt murmured, studying a devil costume. "Too ironic. Not enough detail, ze fangs are blunt, and ze tail sucks!" Kitty rolled her eyes at him and crossed her arms as he fiddled with the rubber string.
"Kurt," she complained as he moved to another costume.
"Keety, I haf to choose a decent costume." He shifted through the piles of costumes. "I'll probably look stupid if I show up in some cheesy ghoul or somezing!" It was sort of tiring to hear Kurt worry over what other people would think of him.
"It doesn't matter if people hate your costume, you know?"
"It matters to me," Kurt gave up and they found themselves walking out of the store without buying anything yet again.
"Hmm," Kitty had her hand cupped under her chin in thought. "Maybe you could, like, go as yourself?" She stopped walking and sat down on a nearby bench. He remained standing.
(1)"Was?" He blinked at her.
"Well," she looked up from the ground into his face. "You said you wanted a realistic costume, so you can go as yourself and no one will know."
"When I said realistic, I didn't mean real."
"Think about it!" Kitty jumped up from her seat, her face glowing in excitement. They started looking for somewhere dark to teleport home. "You'll go without your inducer, everyone will think your "costume" is cool, and they won't, like, steal your candy or something."
"I dunno..." Kurt sounded convinced, but afraid to say so. "But vhat am I even supposed to be?"
"A demon...thing. Something."
"I don't even look like anyzing on TV or in horror stuff."
"Many people improvise, you know? Make up their own costume out of mixed accessories."
"And if anyone finds out?"
"Jean or the professor will erase their memory. Come on, just go without a costume."
Kurt thought for a while. "Okay. But only as a last resort." Kitty beamed and he smiled back.
And with that, they went into the shadows of a building and Kurt, holding Kitty's hand, teleported them back to the mansion without anyone seeing.
Picky as he was with costumes, he failed to find one that he actually liked. The students agreed to Kitty's plan about Kurt's special costume, but the teachers weren't too happy with the idea. They didn't tell him not to do it, but they told him to be careful about revealing himself.
Sooo...
On October 31st, the mutant students had on their costumes and were each holding a candy bag.
They exited the mansion and began their search for candy.
(1): Not was as in "I was scrubbing the cat", but was as in German for "what". I looked it up on google translate.
I'm not done. If it was, it would be a horrible ending. It HAS TO CONTINUE! I might post more tomorrow. Bye for now!
PS: This is speed writing. Aaaugh! I forgot what I was going to put here! I'll post it on the next chapter if I remember.
