Ethan's Costume Shop

Today was just not Ethan's day Halloween was tomorrow and no one had come to his store to buy anything and he just happens to get some great deals on superhero costumes, but no one wanted them. It just didn't make sense he needed somebody to buy something so he go on with his plan.

Just then he heard the sound of the bell to the shop ring this caught Ethan's attention and 'caused a small smile to cross his face perhaps there was some hope after all.

"Come on guys we have to get our costumes for the thing tomorrow" Xander said to his friends and three individuals before entering the shop with the others following behind.

"Xander the trick or treat thing doesn't start till tomorrow night we'll have plenty of time to get costumes then" Buffy lightly chided with the others agreeing with her.

"I know but there's no harm in getting a early start now is there?" Xander asked.

Buffy sighed and said.

"No I guess not" she said.

"Didn't think so now come on we gotta get our costumes!"He exclaimed before rushing to one of the costumes.

"You mates go ahead I don't need a costume" one of the tallest individual said in an Australian accent.

"Same goes for me bub"the second tallest of the individuals said in a gruff voice.

"You two sure?"Giles asked.

The two individuals looked at each other a few minutes before turning back to Giles.

"Yes!"The two said in unison.

"Okay what about you Hank do you need a costume for the trick or treat thing?"Giles asked third and final individual who was about 6ft 2inches tall, muscular, had partly cropped blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and wore a leather jacket with blue jeans and trainers.

Hank looked at Giles then said.

"Nah I already gotten mine" was his simple reply.

Giles nodded and took off after Xander and the others while the three individuals decided to wait outside.

Ethan watched as Riper and the others constantly search around the shop for their costumes but little did they know once they get these costumes and wear them their lives will take a direct change.

"Now let's see" Xander said while examining a rack of costumes.

"Superman? Nah to original" Xander said then moved the next costume.

"Hulk? Too many anger problems" He said then moved to the next costume.

"Colossus? Maybe some other time" he said then moved to the last costume which interested him."

"Marcus Fenix? This will do" he said before grabbing the Marcus Fenix costume then went to meet up with the others.

Upon reaching Buffy and the others he saw that they already had gotten the costumes and were ready to go.

"I take it that everybody had gotten their costumes?"Giles asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Alright let's pay for the costumes and get out of here I'm sure we kept the

Everyone nodded again then went to pay for their costumes.

Outside the shop

"So do you guys have any idea on who Giles, Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Cordelia are going as for this trick or treat thing Snyder assigned for them tomorrow night?" Hank asked The Fable and The Guardian.

John and James looked at Hank for a few minutes before replying.

"Don't know kid but knowing Xander which I do he's probably going as some superhero being the spandex loving guy he is" James answered.

"As for Buffy, Willow, and Cordelia mate they'll probably pick their usual costume choices which are a 18th century noblewoman, a ghost, and a cat" John joined in

"Now Giles is pretty much beyond me and John for he always spends time in that library of his for some peace and quiet so seeing him attend this trick or treat thing is a shocker to us both" James finished.

Hank nodded and continued to wait with the others.

A few minutes later The Scoobies along with Cordelia and Giles came out of the store each with bags in their hands.

"So" Hank began.

"What did you guys get?"He questioned.

Everyone reached into bags and pulled out their costumes.

Giles costume was none other than Ash Williams from Army of Darkness/Evil Dead.

"Ash Williams from Army of Darkness/Evil Dead? Groovy choice Giles" Hank complimented" earning a small smile from him in return.

Buffy's costume was Anna Valerious from Van Helsing.

"That's a new one Sheila Anna Valerious from Van Helsing what made you pick that?" John asked.

"Well I was going to go for my usual costume choice but I noticed I wore that costume too many times already so I decided to pick something else for a change that embraces my slayer side" Buffy answered.

"Will your right it does embrace your slayer side" John flirted while Buffy blushed at the comment.

Xander's costume was Marcus Fenix from Gears Of War.

"Never thought I see the day" James said with a smirk.

"What do you mean?"Xander asked.

"You're kidding right? Every Halloween you would dress up as either a superhero or a solider it's nice to see you go as something else for a change" James said.

"Oh" Xander said while James nodded.

"What about you two lasses "John said. To Willow and Cordelia while switching from his trademark Australian accent to his Nordic one.

"I got tired of hiding from who I am so I went with the best costume I can find" Willow answered.

"Which is what lass?"John asked but also glad that Willow will no longer hide under a sheet.

"This" Willow said while showing her costume to everyone for it was none other than Anya Stroud also from Gears Of War.

"Anya Stroud? From Gears Of War as well are you trying to match your costume with Xander's or are you trying to impress him?"Hank quipped while Xander and Willow both blushed at the comment.

This went unnoticed by everyone for they knew Willow had a crush on Xander even the entire School body knew about it so it's no surprise that she would pick a costume almost similar to Xander's.

"A little bit of both" Willow answered while trying to hide the blush that appeared on her face but failed when doing so.

"Simple enough" Hank replied then turned his attention to Cordelia and asked.

"What about you Cordy what's your costume?" He asked the Cheerleader.

"Like Buffy I got tired of wearing the same costume for 10 years straight so I decided to pick something different for a change" she answered.

"Is something that will embrace your outer beauty?"Xander asked sarcastically.

Cordelia glared at Xander a few minutes before a small smirk formed on her lips.

"Close but I don't think it will embrace my outer beauty dweeb it will mostly improve it" Cordelia replied.

"Well whoever your costume is kid you're going to have to show us tomorrow for its late and Halloween is tomorrow and we can't afford to have Snyder at your throats for oversleeping especially if you're going to help chaperone those kids tomorrow" James said while examining his watch.

"He's right mates it's 11:00 at night and you guys know how Snyder is when it comes to you four" John said while switching back to his trademark Australian accent and examining his own watch and while gesturing to Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Cordelia.

"What about you three? You're helping out as well and you don't have any costumes for tomorrow" Xander pointed out.

"I don't need a costume I'm a shapeshifter remember? Plus James has the ability to change into his partial wolf form, werewolf form, and wolf form at will a gift he got from his father Bigby Wolf when he was born ain't that right mate" John said while James nodded.

"Oh right I forgot about all about that" Xander said.

"A course you did Hank on the other hand I believe he gotten his costume far earlier then you at Party Town at least that's what he told John and me" James replied.

"He's right anyway enough chitchat let's get you guys home I'm sure your probably wondering where you are" John said to Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Cordelia.

Everyone nodded and placed their costumes back into their respective bag and followed the others to their houses leaving Giles to go his own way back to that apartment of his.

October 31 SunnyDale High School Snyder's office 4:00

"Alright you troublemakers each of you are going to take a group of elementary children trick or treating through town once you're done with that return here at 7:00 so no staying out late or hanging out at the nearest bar or you'll be expelled am I clear!"Snyder exclaimed.

Everyone nodded.

"Good now GO!"Snyder shouted.

Everyone nodded again then grabbed their group of children and left the School.

The Schoolyards

"Glad that meeting was over and between you and me I don't think I could bear hearing that asshole's voice any longer" Hank said.

"Well you better get used to it soon Hank cause once we're through with the kids we're gonna get another mouthful from him" Buffy answered.

"She's right so in meantime let's just focus on the main agenda" John said before taking on the form of a Journalist Xander seen in a Video Game Frank West he believes his name was.

"Now before we go our separate ways did anybody forget anything?"John Flynn/Frank West asked in Frank West voice.

Once he saw that everyone shook their head he smiled then said.

"Good let's get going and remember we got to be back here by 7:00 otherwise you'll get expelled from the School grounds and we both know Cordelia and Willow wouldn't want isn't that right ladies?" John/Frank questioned.

Both girls nodded.

John/Frank nodded back then said.

"Anyway enough of me talking let's get going" he said.

Everyone nodded then grabbed their group of kids then went their separate ways.

Abandoned Warehouse 6:00pm

In a warehouse just North from town Spike was thinking of ways to bag his third slayer a course he knows it will be difficult unless something happens to her that will make her helpless this Halloween night.

"S-Spike" Drusilla weakly said.

"Drusilla! What are you doing up? You should be resting Spike said.

"I had a vision about The Slayer and her friends" she said.

"Did you now?"Spike asked.

Drusilla nodded.

"Then tell me pet what do I need to know about The Slayer and her friends this Halloween night" Spike said.

"Be very very wary of The Slayer also beware of two soldiers, and a one armed man"Drusialla said cryptically.

"What do you mean be very very wary of The Slayer? And who are the soldiers? And who is this one armed man?"Spike asked.

"The Slayer and her friends won't be their selves tonight Spiky that's all I could say" Drusilla said.

"I understand pet now go on back to bed and rest up your going to need it" Spike said.

Drusilla nodded then went back to bed.
