It was Halloween morning and apartment 4A was decorated apropriately with skeletons, spider webs and all kinds of creepy thing. It made Sheldon uneasy but Leonard insisted they were part of tradition. Leonard would never admitt it but Sheldon thought it made him uneasy too.

"Sheldon the time is running out" said Amy "we need to pick a costume today."

"Amy" he exclaimed "we've had this conversation before and we couldn't compromise."

"Οur relationship is different now,we'll find something! How about Nurse and Doctor?"

"I have a PhD, I don't need to dress up to be a doctor!"

"Well I have a PhD too but you don't hear me bitching abou the demotion...It's settled I'll go get the costumes."

"Fine" said Sheldon grudgingly

Actually it wasn't a bad idea. He could have been a medical doctor if he wasn't terrified of blood, sick people, germs and hospitals.

"Come on don't pout you'll be really handsome as a doctor." said Amy and pur her arms around him.

"I know" agreed Sheldon and return the hug. Her hair smelled like mint, which he knew it was the scent of her anti-dundraff shampoo. He liked that scent.

Their hug was interrupted by Raj who burged in without knocking caring bags of what he assumed to be more atrocious decorations. Raj was in charge of just about everything invovling the party that would take place tonight at the roof top.

"Hey love birds, sorry for intruding."

"Try knocking next time Rajesh" said Amy

"Why? It's not like I'm going to interrupt you while you're at it." laughed Raj

Koothrapali could be a real jerk sometimes, thought Sheldon. Amy looked hurt and Raj noticed it and hastily apologized.

"I'm sorry guys" he stated miserably "it's just that I feel like crap that I'll be the only one without a date in the party."

"Why what happened to Emily?" asked Amy

"She'll be out of town visiting her family...She said she always spends Halloween with them." he added

"Ι don't see what you're upset about Koothrapali, you can choose your own costume without anyone pestering you." he glared at Amy

"Very funny Sheldon, I'll get our costumes right now. See you guys tonight" she said and departed

"Sheldon I have a giant skeleton in my car you need to help me carry it."

Sheldon sighed and wished for this day to be over. He had the feeling of impending doom, like something bad was going to happen, but he attributed that to the fact that he would be surrounded by a lot of people tonight.

The party was about to start and Penny rushed to her apartment to get ready. She was late from work and assumed that everyone would be at the roof already.

She took her ridiculous costume out of the closet and looked at it for a minute. She had half a mind to throw it out and dress up as a sexy kitten or something similar but she didn't want to hurt Leonards feelings. He insisted they dressed up as zombie bride because he said it would be funny. She thought that he wanted them dressed like that to flaunt their engangement.

As she put her horrible wig on she heard the door of her apartment open.

"Sweety I'm so sorry I'm late" she called out thinking she was talking to Leonard "I just need to make myself looking more dead." she laughed

"I'll help you" said a vaguely familiar voice

Penny turned around and screamed. Darth Vader was in her room.

She felt really stupid for being scared. It was obviously Leonard in the costume trying to scare her, and he had a voice modifier to make him sound like Darth Vader.

"Oh my God Leonard you scared me." she exclaimed "What are you wearing?I thought we'd be a zombie couple."

"I'm not Leonard." replied Darth Vader "I'm here to make you look dead."

"Haha very funny Leonard, the joke's over take off that stupid c..."

Darth Vader had a knife in his hand and slashed Penny's throat before she had time to react.

In the roof Leonard was wondering if Penny had come home yet.
