Halloween

Annie pulled her golden gloves up to her elbows as she inspected herself in the hallway mirror. It appeared that she was as ready as she could ever be. Her golden Victorian dress looked just like the one in the movie. Her hair was both pulled up and slightly down, with a golden band around the bun. With the exception of her eye color (she had actually tried brown colored contacts, but they irritated her eyes too much) she looked just like Belle during the iconic ballroom dance.

She was really glad Abed came up with this great idea. He had decided that all seven of them should dress up as Disney characters for the Halloween party Jeff and Annie were throwing. He had tried to keep who everyone was a surprise by handing each person an envelope detailing who their character was and then asking that they keep it a secret. Though later he admitted he wasn't at all surprised that almost everyone revealed who they were coming as before Halloween.

She turned as the bathroom door opened and Garret walked out before it was quickly shut. "Where's Jeff?"

"He's not coming out! I was told I could have ginger snaps if I did Jeff's make-up!"

"There in the cupboard next to the refrigerator." As Garret searched for the cookies Annie went over to the bathroom, careful not to step on the hem of her dress. "Jeff." She lightly knocked on the door. "Come on; let's see what you look like."

"I'm not coming out. I look ridiculous."

"Jeff, everyone's going to be here any minute. Just come out."

"I look like a giant cat. If I had to be The Beast why couldn't I be him at the end of the movie, when he transformers back into a human prince?"

"Because no one would know who you were. Everyone would go 'there's Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and some random prince guy.'"

"Or I could have gone as-."

"Don't you dare say Gaston!"

Just then the doorbell rang. "People are starting to arrive Jeff, so you're going to have to come out of there really soon." She said as she went over and opened the front door. "Troy, you look great!" She exclaimed as she looked at him. Troy's outfit consisted of baggy tan pants, a bright red wide belt, a maroon vest over his bare chest, and a fez.

"Thanks. I just wish I had Annie's Boobs for Abu. You look hot. Just like in the movie."

"You're costume has glaring errors! Aladdin wore a red sash around his waist, not a red belt with a buckle! AND he didn't wear flip flops!" Garret said with exasperation.

"Garret, this is kind of a pre party for us. The actual party starts in an hour." Troy said.

"Fine! I should go and get ready anyway! I may be a bit late! My orc make-up is incredibly detailed!"

Britta walked in just as Garret was leaving. Annie looked at her in surprise and disappointment. "Britta. I thought you were dressing up as Princess Jasmine." Britta was wearing grey leggings with shin pads, a long sleeved grey t-shirt, a long bulky green vest made to look like battle armor that went down to mid thigh, and a giant plastic sword strapped to her back. She also had on a black wig that was tied in a bun.

"Yea, I thought so to." Troy said with disappointment.

"I decided this would be a better costume since Mulan is a much better example of female empowerment than any other Disney character. She proved that women can literally do anything a man can do, and doesn't have to concern themselves with what society says-."

"Tell her to shut up about her feminism ideology for one night!" Jeff yelled from the bathroom.

"What's he doing in there anyway, spending his required three hours to get his hair to look just perfectly messy?"

"He doesn't want to come out because he doesn't like his costume." Annie said.

"Oh you've got to be, Jeff, get out here! You can't look any worse then you did when you had that two day hangover after Fourth of July!"

"Hey guys." They all turned as Abed walked in. He was dressed exactly like Sherlock Holmes, but also had on a black nose with whiskers and giant mouse ears sticking out from under his deer skin hat.

"Oh Abed, you look adorable." Annie said

"Yea, you look great." Troy said as the two of them did their secret handshake.

"Wait, who are you suppose to be?" Britta said in confusion.

Annie, Troy and Abed all looked at Britta in shock. "Basil of Baker Street, from The Great Mouse Detective." Abed said.

"Oh. I never saw that one."

"HOW, how could you not see…" Troy bit his finger as he struggled not to cry. Abed gave Britta a look of disapproval before going over to comfort him. Luckily Pierce arrived at that moment to defuse the situation, wearing the outfit Abed had personally picked out for him. He had on big puffy light tan pajamas, a matching tan robe, a big gold and blue stripped belt, and a very big puffy hat with a big blue feather on the front. He also had on a large fake mustache and a long white beard.

"All right all right, I'm here. We can finally start this thing." He said as he pulled his beard to the side to scratch under his chin. "I still don't know why you had me dress up like a carpet salesman."

"You're the Sultan from Aladdin." Abed said as he came up with a sudden idea. "You rule over an entire kingdom and tell everyone what to do."

"Really?" They could just make out the smile under his beard as he puffed out his chest. "Well if that's the case then maybe this outfit isn't so silly after all." Annie giggled as she and Abed shared a look over Pierce being won over by his outfit.

"Hello!" They all turned as Shirley waltzed into the apartment. She had on a flowing full skirted pale blue dress with puffy shoulders, along with long matching gloves and her old blond wig styled so it was up in a bun.

"Oh, I know this one. She's the tooth fairy, right?"

"I'm Cinderella Pierce." She pointedly said as she lifted the hem of her dress to show off her clear plastic slippers. "Andre taking Ben trick or treating, but he'll be coming here afterwards as Prince Charming." She smiled, looking forward to seeing her husband in his dashing prince outfit.

"AW! That's so sweet." Annie went back over to the bathroom and pounded on the door. "Jeff, everyone is here! Just come out of there all ready!"

"Yea Jeff, we all know it's time you came out of the closet!"

"Shut up Pierce!" Everyone simultaneously yelled at Pierce.

"Fine, I'm coming out! Don't even say it Pierce!" Pierce quickly bit back his retort as the door finally opened and Jeff stepped out. Shirley let out a shriek as everyone else looked at Jeff in shock and aw.

"Cool. Cool, cool, cool."

"Dude, that is sick."

"So Jeff's suppose to be a fancy Garfield or something?"

Jeff's clothes consisted of tight black dress pants, a puffy white dress shirt, a dark tan vest and a Victorian style blue dress jacket. He also had on brown gloves that were covered in fur. But your attention immediately went to Jeff's face. His face was covered fur, with any leftover skin filled in with brown make-up. His nose was painted black and had been flattened like a cat's, and his brow was thickened. He had a thick furry mane like a lion and pointed horns on top of his head.

Annie looked Jeff up and down, shocked at how detailed his costume was. "Wow, Garret really went all out."

"I look ridiculous." He looked at her, eyes widening as he took in her costume. "Annie…you look gorgeous. You're a real princess."

"Thank you, my beast prince." She did a small curtsy before kissing Jeff lightly.

"Watch it there. It took two hours to get me looking like this."

"Oh, someone's actually getting into it."

As Jeff went over and greeted everyone Annie disappeared for a moment, returning with a camera. "Ok, let's get a group picture of all of us." She spent the next several minutes placing everyone in exactly the perfect position before setting the camera on the shelf. She set the timer before quickly running over and taking her place next to Jeff. As Jeff put an arm around her they both shared a quick private look before looking out at the camera.

"On three everyone. One, Two, Three."

"HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"
