B: Boo!
Summary: Timon and Shenzi enter a Halloween Couples Costume Contest together.
"Timon! Hey, Timon!" A female voice yelled out, as Timon Berkowitz heard stampeding footsteps towards him. He turned around, and saw his girlfriend Shenzi Hyena running towards him, a sheet of paper in her hands.
"Hey Shenzi," He smiled, "What's that in your hand?"
"Here!" Shenzi practically forced the paper in his hands; When he looked at it, he saw that it was a flyer for a Halloween Costume Couples Contest on Halloween night, at the Conference Building. "There's a costume couples contest! Can we enter it?" Shenzi asked him, before using the puppy eyes on him, "Ple-e-ea-a-ase?" She fluttered her long eyelashes to emphasize the effect.
"I could never say no to you," Timon smiled at her, "Especially with that face," He chuckled, "Sure, we'll enter the contest together."
"Ya-a-ay!" Shenzi cheered, before practically throwing herself on him in a hug. "Thank you! It'll be so much fun!"
"When I'm with you, I'm always having fun," Timon smiled, kissing her head.
"Aww, thanks! And same to me with you," Shenzi smiled back. "We're gonna go to the Halloween store after school to pick out our costumes! And we have to match! Okay?"
"Okay," Timon chuckled at her excitement, while nodding his head, "Sounds like a plan."
And sure enough after school was out, Nina drove Timon and Shenzi to their favorite Halloween store titled "The Spirit of Halloween." (A/N: This is a real store!)
"I'll wait here," Nina told her son and his girlfriend, as she turned off the car, "Have fun," She smiled.
"Thanks Ma," Timon smiled, as they stepped out.
"We will," Shenzi called out, as they walked to and in the store. "Wow, it's as cool as it always has been," She remarked.
"Yep," Timon agreed. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw one of the male employees staring lustfully at Shenzi, who had just pulled off her black and grey varsity jacket. Considering she was wearing a black batty cropped tee under a black fringed crop top, with black lace shorts, black combat boots, and a spider web belly button ring, it wasn't that surprising. But that didn't stop him from being annoyed with morons disrespecting his girl. "Hey! Eyes up buddy, she's mine," Timon glared at him.
"S-sorry dude," The guy had his hands up with his palms out in defense. Timon raised an eyebrow at him, before walking away. When he saw Shenzi facing away from him, and gazing at one of the animatronics, where you step on a button to activate it, he smiled evilly as an idea came in his head.
While she still wasn't looking at him, Timon sneakily tiptoed up behind her, his hands up with his fingers spread out. "Boo!" He exclaimed, quickly grabbing her shoulders.
"AAAHH!" Shenzi screamed, as she jumped back, and bumped into her hysterically laughing boyfriend, before she glared at him. "Timon, that was not funny!"
"Uh no, it was hilarious," Timon chuckled, as he tried to hold in more hysterical laughter. But he stopped when he saw her glaring daggers at him, her arms crossed. "Aw, you know you can't stay mad at me," He smiled, poking her nose.
Shenzi sighed, before lightening up her expression. "You," She pointed her index finger at him, "Are so lucky that I love you."
"I know," The redhead smiled widely.
"Because if I didn't, you'd end up like him," Shenzi pointed to an animatronic with a zombie.
"Right," Timon smiled nervously. 'Um, wh-why don't we go browse for suitable, matching costumes for the contest, 'kay?"
"Okay!" Shenzi smiled, suddenly perky again.
After a while, the couple still didn't know what to pick out for the contest. "Okay, I am out of ideas," Timon shook his head.
"Me too," Shenzi nodded, "You sure we looked through the whole store?"
"Pretty sure," He nodded. But out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a girl wearing an Alice in Wonderland bomber jacket. (A/N: It's specifically called the "Disney Alice In Wonderland Falling Girls Bomber Jacket" from Hot Topic without quotation marks.) And to add, "Alice's Theme" from the 2010 movie by Tim Burton was playing on the speakers throughout the store.
"Timon?" Shenzi noticed that he wasn't speaking; He seemed to be staring out into space. "You alright?"
Her voice snapped him out of his trance, before he looked down at her. "I got an idea!" He told her, before taking her hand, and running to a certain area in the store, dragging her along. "Oh, I hope it's still here," He muttered, as he skimmed through the selection. "What are you looking for?" Shenzi asked him. "You'll see," Timon smiled at her, before continuing his search. "Ah-ha!" He pulled out a costume that was called "Sexy Dark Alice", that came with a dress, glovelettes, and thigh-high stockings. "Can you hold this?" He handed it to her, before searching again. "And for me…" He muttered, "Ah-ha!" He pulled out another costume titled "Dark Mad Hatter", that came with a jacket, a vest, pants, a top hat, a bow tie, spat shoe covers, and fingerless gloves. "What do you think, huh?" He asked her, holding the bag up to himself, "Huh?"
"… I love it," She smiled, "Good idea."
"Thanks," He smiled back. "Medium is your size, right?"
"Yea," She shrugged, suddenly looking slightly depressed.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" He asked her.
"I just think that medium being my size makes me… fat," She told him.
"What? No way!" Timon told her, "You're not fat at all! You're slim, and beautiful, okay?"
"… Okay," She nodded, "I'm so silly," She giggled.
"There's that smile," He grinned, as he kissed her cheek. "Come on, let's pay for these, and beat it."
"Okay," She nodded, before noticing something. "W-wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"My costume doesn't come with shoes," Shenzi pointed out.
"Ohhh," He drew out, "We'll see what there is real quick."
"'Kay," She nodded, before they hurried to a certain section of the store. "Hmm, these shoes here look like the ones on the model," She pointed out, grabbing a pair of black patented leather Mary Jane chunky heel shoes.
"They in your size?" Timon asked her.
"Hmm," Shenzi checked, and realized that they were 5s, a size too small. "Ah, nope." She put them back, and pulled out another pair that were a size 7, one larger than her original size. "I read in a review that you should a get size bigger than normal," She explained when he looked confused.
"Ah, okay," Timon nodded, understanding. "So, we done here, Shen? Ma's still waiting in the car."
"Yeah," She nodded, "This is all we need. Let's go pay for them, and get outta here."
"Okay," He nodded in agreement, before they headed for the registers.
On Halloween evening, the couple were preparing themselves for the contest. "How long does it take to apply eye shadow and liner, Shenzi?" Timon asked her, as she was applying his costume makeup for him.
"It's harder than you think," She giggled, "Just be patient. And… I am… done!" She pulled her hand away from his face. "Okay, you can open your eyes now." Timon did just that. "Ooh, you look delightfully freaky," She purred seductively.
"Oh stop," Timon chuckled, blushing under his fur.
"I'll be right back, I have to get my own makeup on," Shenzi told him, before dashing in the bathroom. When she came back out, she had the same eye shadow and eye liner as him, but she also had black mascara, and black lip-gloss.
"Nice," Timon smirked, as she blushed herself.
"Thanks," She giggled, "Come on, let's get our costumes on."
"Okay," He nodded, before standing up, "Can we change together?" He smirked.
"Fine," She giggled, rolling her eyes as her blush deepened, "Come on."
The two had changed their clothes while looking away from each other for slight privacy. But before Shenzi put her dress on, she added on a black bandeau bra, and a white lace bandeau top over it for more coverage. "You done, Timon?" She asked her boyfriend.
"Yep," He told her, "You can look now." She did, and she smiled upon seeing him. He looked so handsome; She was blushing a deep red under her fur.
"Wow, you look great," She smiled.
"Well thank you, milady," He said in a British accent, as he bowed and tipped his hat to her.
"What do you think of mine?" She asked Timon, posing for him.
"Hmm…" He hummed in wonder, "There's something missing," He remarked. "Oh! I know what it is." He ran to her dresser to where her hair accessories were at, and grabbed a black bow headband. "Can you close your eyes for me?"
"Okay," She shrugged, before closing her eyes. "Timon Berkowitz, I swear if you tickle me, I'll tear you apart."
"I'm not going to," Timon chuckled, before setting the band on her head, in front of her ears. "Okay, open your eyes." Shenzi did so, before he turned her around, so she was looking at herself in her mirror. "Yes!" He smiled widely, "That is perfect!"
"You really think so?" She smiled timidly, as she put in black top hat earrings.
"I know so," He assured her. "Come on, let's get to that contest."
When they arrived and after they signed in, they were surprised at the amount of contestants that attended. The Conference Building was packed. "I wonder if any of our friends entered this contest?" Shenzi remarked over everyone's voices.
"Boo!" A familiar voice startled them into turning around. To their amusement, they saw Max Stiller, their school's biology teacher, and Vitawny Kelly, their choir teacher, standing together. They appeared to be dressed as vampires for the contest. Vitawny had a black dress with white lace trim on it, a black fangs necklace, black and white lace-up boots, fake fangs on her teeth, blood vial dangling earrings, black eye shadow, liner, lip gloss, and mascara, and red lipstick applied to look like blood, and a black and white hooded cape. Max had a black and white vampire costume with a silver fangs necklace, fake fangs over his teeth, black eye shadow and liner, red lipstick applied to look like blood, black and white lace-up Converse boots, and surprisingly, his grey hair was over one eye with a black streak in it.
"Oh, hey guys," Timon smiled at them after recovering from the scare. "Nice hair, Mr. Stiller," He smirked at Max.
"Thanks," Max smirked back, "It was Vitawny's idea," He nodded his head to his girlfriend. "She tried to add glitter on my face, but that was not happening!"
"I was joking, Max!" Vitawny laughed, "I wasn't really going to make you glittery!"
"I know," He chuckled, "Anyway, you kids look great together." Vitawny nodded in agreement.
"Thanks," Shenzi smiled, "They were Timon's idea."
"Well that was a good idea, Timon," Vitawny smiled at the redhead.
"Thanks," Timon smiled timidly, "It just came to me while we were brainstorming."
"Cool," Max smiled.
"Hey guys!" A familiar voice yelled out; The young couple turned around, and spotted Monti and Tatiana walking up to them.
"We'll leave you guys alone to talk with your friends," Vitawny told them, before she and Max walked away.
"Thanks," Timon told the teachers, before turning to the other young couple. "Hey guys." He smirked in amusement when he saw them. "Nice costumes."
"Thanks," Tatiana giggled. She was in a sexy police officer costume with a shiny black bralet underneath for more coverage, a black policeman hat, and black leather high-heeled boots, and was holding silver handcuffs in one hand. Her blonde hair was in a low ponytail. Monti had black sanuks, and an orange prisoner costume.
"There you guys are!" Alika exclaimed, as she and her boyfriend Fred ran up to them. To their amusement, the couple were dressed as the Joker and Harley Quinn from Batman. Fred had his costume with purple Converse sneakers, white makeup on his face, black eye shadow, red lipstick, and green dye in his blond hair. Alika was in a Harley Quinn costume dress with matching leggings, black funtasma boots, a black eye mask on her face, a Harley Quinn charm choker, a matching earring with a cuff and two matching ponytail bows in her blonde hair. She also held an inflatable mallet in one hand, and wore a black barbell in her other ear.
"You guys look great," Shenzi smiled at them.
"Thanks," Alika smiled back, before nodding to her boyfriend, "It was his idea."
"Ah," Timon nodded, "Cool. Good idea, Fred."
"Thanks!" Fred smiled back widely, effectively creeping out the redhead.
"What are you guys dressed up as?" Alika asked them.
"We're Alice and the Mad Hatter, as Goths," Shenzi explained, curtsying a bit, "It was Timon's idea."
"Ah," Alika nodded, smiling, "That was a good idea, Timon."
"Thanks," The redhead smiled back.
A while later, after they saw Evie and Cosmo dressed as Anna and Elsa respectively with inspired costume dresses and cosplay hair bows, the contest officially began.
"The winner for Best Career Costumes… the team of Monti Schon and Tatiana McNeille!"
"Yay!" Tatiana cheered, before she and Monti ran up to claim their prize, which was a trophy with a hose, a pair of handcuffs, and a stethoscope on it.
"And for Best Comic Book Duo… the team of Fred Bullock and Alika Akintola!"
"Yeah!" Fred cheered; He and Alika claimed their trophy, which had a comic book sound effect on it.
"And the winners for Best Book/Movie Couple… Timon Berkowitz and Shenzi Hyena!"
"Yeah!" Shenzi cheered, as she and Timon got their trophy, which had a film reel and a novel on it. "I can't believe we won!" She smiled excitedly after they stepped off the stage.
"And last but not least, the Best Classic Monsters Duo is… Max Stiller and Vitawny Kelly!" The vampire-clad couple claimed their trophy, which had a pumpkin, a pair of vampire fangs, and a full moon carved in it, with Frankenstein bolts on the sides. "Okay, this Halloween Couples Costumes Contest is officially over; Happy Halloween!"
"You kids won a prize?" Nina asked them when they told her the good news as she was driving to the Hyenas' house to drop Shenzi off, "That's great! Which prize did you win?"
"The trophy for book and movie couple," Timon told her.
"That's wonderful! What other prizes were there?"
"Well, there was classic monsters, which Mr. Stiller and Ms. Kelly won as vampires, comic book characters, which Fred and Alika won as the Joker and Harley Quinn, and careers, which Monti and Tatiana won as a police woman and a prisoner."
"Monti was dressed as a prisoner?" Nina giggled.
"Yep," Timon nodded, before Shenzi noticed that they were at their destination.
"Here's my stop," She unbuckled her seatbelt, opened her door, and climbed out of the car. "Thanks guys!" She smiled, while standing at Timon's fully-open window.
"No prob," Timon smiled, before they kissed for a split second.
"You're welcome, sweetie," Nina smiled, before Shenzi started walking towards her front door; Timon closed his window, as Nina started driving away. "So the event was fun, Timmy?"
"Yep," He nodded, while smiling widely from his girlfriend's kiss, "It sure was."
At home, after Timon changed out of his costume and wiped off the makeup, he changed into his pajamas, which consisted of black and white plaid boxers and a black t-shirt that said "I 3 My Crazy Girlfriend" in white letters with a blue heart. He set the trophy on his dresser; They agreed that he would keep it in his room until they moved out together in the future after getting married.
After deciding on a perfect space for it, he set it in that space, and climbed into bed, smiling widely.
And meanwhile at the Hyena house, Shenzi was getting ready for bed herself; She wore a black t-shirt that said "I 3 My Crazy Boyfriend in white letters with a red heart, black and red plaid sleep shorts, and black and red striped lace-trimmed over-the-knee socks. After wiping off the makeup, and taking the earrings out, she brushed her teeth, said good-night to her dad after telling him about the contest, and climbed into bed.
(A/N: Happy Halloween, witches! Happy Saturween! [Sam & Cat reference XD] I'm glad I was able to finish this today! The characters they were dressed up as don't belong to me, and neither do the group of friends.)
