"Well, I'm Stephanie Tanner. I'm in your social studies class. So, you want to go?" Steph asked the cute jock. That cute jock was named Jacob Peters. She had just gotten up her courage to ask him out to the Halloween Homecoming Hop at Van Atta High School. "Will you go to the Halloween Homecoming Hop with me, Jacob?" she had blurted out when she caught him alone in the hall.

"Um, who in God's name are you?" he asked her, giving her a questioning look. After she had given him her answer, he said to her, "Right. Tanner from history class. You sit in the middle and you always talk to that Gia girl and get yelled at by Ms. Guggenheim. Sure, I'll go to the Hop with you."

"Really? That's great. My address is 1882 Gerard Ave. At around seven then?"

"Sure. See you then, Stephanie. Bye." Jacob waved at her and then walked off.

"Yes," Steph hissed quietly as she fell back against the locker.

"Yo, Steph, you do it? You going to the Hop with Hottie McHotbody?" came a voice. Steph opened her eyes to see her best friend Gia looking at her. Gia was wearing a smug look that was unflattering to her beautiful face.

"I asked him. He said yes, and flashed me his winning smile." The bell rang all of a sudden, making the girlfriends jump.

"Can I come over to your house today after school so we can talk more and plan our costumes? I forgot to tell you, I'm going with Jimmy Dailey. You know that guy that looks like a young Paul McCartney? Yeah, he just asked me."

"Friday…Friday…" Steph said aloud to herself, "Mop 'Till You Drop Day at home. As long as we don't go through the kitchen and take off our shoes before we go in, Dad'll let you."

"Great, see you after school then." The two freshman girls walked to their classes.

At three-thirty, the girls were sitting cross-legged on Steph's bed, discussing their costumes for the Hop. As D.J. had moved out to go to college, Michelle, who was now in the 5th grade, had moved back into her old room, so Steph had her own room; something that she didn't have since she was four. Jesse and Becky still lived in the attic and Joey and his new wife, Valencia, lived in Joey's room. Danny and Vicky had gotten back together and were married. Steph wasn't going to have her own room for long, as Vicky was pregnant. In 8 months, Vicky would have a baby, bringing excitement and anticipation to the Tanner house.

As Steph and Gia thumbed through costume magazines, they talked about random things like how neurotic Danny was and how cute the twins Nicky and Alex, who were in the first grade, were. "Oh, here's one. Go as a dead rock star. You have the perfect body for the costume, and the blue goes so well with your eyes and hair," Gia said, pointing to a sparkly top and pants with a headset microphone.

"Why don't we wear the same thing? Why don't we go as dead rock stars and have our dates go as…um…," Steph paused, then her eyes got wide and her mouth dropped. "That's it!" she exclaimed as she clapped her hands together, "Have them go as Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney! Your date already looks like Paul, and we could buy mine a wig and make them dead too! How's that idea?"

"Good thinking Steph! Let's call them and see if they like that idea!"

Steph dialed Jacob's number. "Hi, is Jacob there? Thank you…Hi, Jacob? This is Stephanie…Good, how are you doing?...That's great. Okay, Gia, who is going to the Hop with Jimmy Dailey and I are dressing like dead rock stars for the Hop, and we were hoping that you two would dress up like two of the Beatles and put on dead makeup. You know Jimmy looks like Paul McCartney, and we were hoping you would be Ringo Starr…uh-huh…great! We are going to call Jimmy, and we'll call you back if he's all for it. Thanks, Jacob!" Steph hung the phone up. "Gia, he's all for it! Call Jimmy now!" Gia picked the phone up and dialed Jimmy's number.

"Hi, is Jimmy there? Oh, hi Jimmy, it's Gia from school…yeah…so Steph and I were thinking of double-dating at the Hop, and we were hoping that you two guys would go as dead Beatles. We already have Steph's date, Jacob Peters, going as a dead Ringo, and we were hoping that you would go as Paul…yep…okay…thanks…see you Saturday." Gia hung up the phone. "He's all for it too. Call Jacob back and let him know." Steph called Jacob and got everything settled.

"I'm glad we got that all arranged. Let's plan our makeup more. I want us to look perfect!" The girls set off for the bathroom laughing and giggling like the teenagers that they were.
