Chapter 3!
As the school weeks went on, Homecoming quickly was coming. As school got into the normal swing of things, guys were all drooling over Luna, and she knew that she might be nominated for Homecoming Queen. Even though most kids didn't care about the Homecoming Dance, if they were Homecoming King or Queen, it was suddenly a big deal. As Luna walked, she saw posters for the Homecoming Game and events the following week, and knew that she might get asked to be nominated. As she walked home, Luna asked Dexter if he was going to do anything for Homecoming or go to the game. "No. Probably not the game," he replied, "I'll just do the dressing up stuff like, 'Hat Day,' or, 'Tye-Dye Day.'" Luna frowned at this news.
"Really? But won't you at least come to the game? It is our Senior Year after all." Dexter shook his head. "That's all right. You can go." Luna frowned. "But Dexter. It wouldn't be the same without you there." Dexter shrugged. "No offense, but our football team's terrible. I would probably want to leave by halftime." Luna nodded. "Well...I don't blame you. We are playing one of the best teams in the state." Luna tugged on her uniform. "How about you come over and do something with us then? It'll be fun." Dexter looked up at her. "We'll have pizza and have loads of fun Dexter!" Dexter smiled. "Yeah. That sounds fun." Luna giggled and was now excited about Homecoming Friday.
When Monday rolled around, the bids for Homecoming Queen and King were coming in. Luna heard lots of guys say they were nominating her, but Luna just tried to ignore the buzz. Leo was excited, because it might mean getting to hang out with lots of girls. However, Luna was turned off by the idea, but decided to keep it to herself. Sure enough, a day later, Luna was asked to come out of one of her classes. When she saw two girls, Luna immediately knew what was up.
"You're nominated for Homecoming Queen," one of the girls cried. Luna looked down at both of them. "I'm sorry, but I refuse," Luna quickly responded. Both of the girls looked stunned. "What? Are you joking?" the other girl asked. Luna shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to be part of this," Luna replied. She turned around back towards the class. However, one of the girls grabbed her hand. "Look. We're not suppose to tell people the results, but you got over 75% of the nominations. You're a shoe in to win and almost everyone wants you there." Luna frowned.
"I still decline," she replied, "Even if every single one of the votes were for me. I don't want to have to spend the night next to one of the self-centered jocks. Besides, I already have plans on Friday night and I can't make the game anyways." The girls were stunned. "What are you doing on Friday that's bigger than the Homecoming game?" Luna smiled at them. "I can't tell you, because it's a secret." She smiled as she walked back into class and tried to act as though nothing happened. Still, the other people in class knew that the girls worked for the yearbook and knew it was about Homecoming.
Sure enough, on that Friday, they announced the Homecoming King and Queen nominations. When Luna wasn't announced, a lot of guys and gals were upset. "Someone stuffed the ballot box!" one guy announced. "The whole thing's rigged!" another guy shouted. Luna just smiled as a bunch of people surrounded her. "I turned down the offer," she replied and all the guys in the class looked gloomy. Luna just shrugged and didn't think much of it. Later, they had the announcement at a Prep Rally for the game. As she sat down, she found Leo to sit next to her. However, Luna spotted Dexter in a spot across the basketball court. He seemed to be all alone and it made Luna sad. She elbowed Leo and pointed Dexter out to him. Leo frowned as well.
However, their attention turned back to the Pep Rally and they watched the football team and the cheerleaders came out in their green main color with with white as the secondary. The cheerleaders went first and everyone in the crowd, except Luna, stood up as they did their famous dance. It was simply the girls jumping up and down, with their green colored tops, bouncing their large chests. Of course, the guys loved it, and it got them to come to the game (even if the on the field product was mediocre at best). As the guys and girls cheered Luna, meanwhile, groaned.
"Ugh. Everyone guy in our school is a pervert and every girl is a slut," she commented.
Leo paused from screaming. "Oh deal with it Luna. Everybody loves the chest bouncing dance!" Leo then went right back to cheering. "Yeah! Bounce those giant boobs!" Luna just rolled her eyes as the girls continued the "dance" for a long long time. As the dance kept going, Luna looked across and saw Dexter standing. However, he wasn't go crazy like the guys above him or the girls next to him. He just stood their and watched. Luna frowned and wished she was over there to talk to him, as he wasn't going nuts like all the other people.
As she walked out, some girls were still confused by Luna not accepting her Homecoming Queen nomination. As Luna met up with Leo and Dexter, the three walked outside. They went up to them and asked. "Say Luna, why did you turn down the Homecoming Queen offer?" one of them asked. Luna smiled. "I have more important things to do tonight," she replied simply. Some guys stopped to listen in on the conversation as well. "What's more important than being Homecoming Queen?" another girl asked, "It's something you'll remember for the rest of your life. What on earth on you doing tonight that's so much more important."
"Leo and her are hanging out with me," Dexter replied with a smile.
The girls and guys around them looked stunned, but quickly laughed and pointed at them. As they did, Dexter looked upset, and looked down at his shoes. Leo frowned at them and Luna got angrier and angrier. She quickly took Dexter's hand and walked away. Leo followed and Luna had an angry look on her face. Dexter and Leo looked at one another and decided to not say anything. When Luna got mad, they knew it was better to just stay quiet. They had a pretty quick walk to the Tops, where Luna smiled finally, and let go of Dexter's hand.
"All right! Who's ready for some fun tonight?" she asked. Dexter raised his hand. "Me!" he shouted and Leo followed suit. "Me!" he added. Luna closed her eyes and smiled. "All right. Lets get changed, watch some TV, and then I'll order pizza." The two boys nodded and they each went to a room, while Dexter was in the bath. He changed into his pajamas, which was a white t-shirt, and dark green pants. Leo got into his light blue pajamas and Luna with her light pink ones. When Leo saw her, he laughed.
"Man. It's weird not seeing you in really short pants or skirt," he commented. Dexter had heard about her love of them, but Luna explained it further. She told him about how she had found a pair and found great uses of keeping guys at bay. She told him how she wore them underneath for skirts or when she had to put tape on for school. "I'll show you what I look like just in short shorts tomorrow," she said once her story was over. Leo leaned over and whispered,
"It'll be about 1% pants and 99% legs."
Luna rolled her eyes. "I heard that Leo," she replied, "And I don't care! So, just be quiet and let me do what I want." Leo rolled his eyes. "And if you get to do that, then I get to eye all the cute girls in the Turbo Dueling Leagues." Luna shrugged. "Just be careful and use protection, even though Martha won't be happy if you lose your virginity before marriage." Leo just grinned and Dexter could only shake his head.
Leo had gotten a gentleman like lessons from Yusei. However, he had gotten his intimacy lessons from Crow. Ever since Crow had gotten onto the Turbo Dueling scene, he had ended up with more girls than laps on the track. It made Yusei, Akiza, and now Leo and Luna tell him to be careful. Still, Crow stressed that he was and that he would make sure he checked with who he was being with. Leo stressed for him to be careful too, but he knew he wanted to be like Crow when it came to the chicks.
As they all sat down, to watch TV, Dexter took the remote. However, after he turned to something that he wanted to watch, he looked at Leo and Luna, and they looked like they were bored. He immediately gave them the remote. "Here. You can watch whatever you want to watch," Dexter announced and dropped the remote in Leo's lap. Leo frowned. "Were you enjoying this?" he asked. Dexter nodded. "Yeah. But you should watch something that excites you guys." Luna frowned. "That's not true Dexter. You're our guest. You should pick something you like." She took the remote and set it on the end table. "Lets just sit back, relax, and watch this." Dexter figured he had no shot to change her mind, so he stayed quiet and enjoyed the show.
By the time the show ended, it was time for ordering pizza. Luna instantly knew what to order when she went online. "You like Hawaiian right Dexter?" she asked. Dexter looked down. "You remembered?" he asked. Luna smiled. "Of course!" she replied. Dexter sighed. He had no idea what the twins liked on their pizza. "Are you sure you guys want that too?" Dexter asked, concerned for the twins' happiness. "We love it," Leo replied, "So don't worry Dex!" Dexter sighed and still didn't like the fact that he might have been the reason they ordered what they did. Luna ordered and soon the pizza had arrived.
They all dug in and Dexter ate the pizza with a frown on his face. "Is something wrong?" Luna asked, "Does it not taste very good?" Dexter shook his head. "No. It tastes great. I just...worry that I'm being a burden on you guys." Luna and Leo stopped chewing. "Who told you that?" Luna asked as she swallowed the rest of her slice. "I did," Dexter replied as he closed his eyes and looked sad. Food nearly dropped out of Leo's mouth and Luna scooted closer to the brown haired man with glasses.
"Why on earth would you say something like that?" Luna questioned. Dexter looked into space. "Because I always have to tell you guys about my problems or what thing I'm afraid of now and I repeat myself over and over again." He paused. "I'm nothing, but a burden on you and everybody else." Leo frowned, as it hurt him to hear his best friend talk like that. Luna felt the same way and Luna put an arm around Dexter's back. "You're not a burden Dexter. Please don't say that." She gave him a hug, trying to make him feel better.
"You're never a burden," Luna continued as Dexter leaned back, "You're our best friend and we love spending time with you." Dexter looked up at her and still looked sad. Luna turned to Leo and he tried to encourage Dexter some more. "Yeah Dex. Don't be such a negative Nancy. People like you and you're a great guy." Dexter sighed and took another slice. "But I know Leo wanted to be there to see the girls bounce their chests and not here. So, I'm already burdening you guys." Luna shook her head.
"No you're not Dexter!" she replied, "If Leo wanted to see chests he could find some online within minutes." Luna turned to Leo, who grinned. "Besides Dexter. We want to spend time with you and do something fun! Now come on, lets eat and then find a game to play." She gave him a warm smile and Dexter could only smile back. Dexter nodded and took another slice to eat. Luna giggled as Leo got one too, one of their many slices that they had eaten. Leo smiled as they got to gossiping about school some more. Once they got their food done, they went into the living room and started playing a video game together. Soon, the three were laughing and having fun.
When they were getting ready for bed, Leo sneaked into Luna's bedroom. "Good job helping Dexter," he replied. Luna smiled. "No problem. I'm so happy to put a smile on Dexter's face." Leo gave her a thumbs up and left to his own room.
The next morning, Dexter was scared off by Luna and short shorts. It showed off just how much longer her legs stretched out too and it made him blush. The whole time, Dexter made sure to try, and stay quiet about how good she looked, as he didn't want to make things awkward. Dexter quickly left after breakfast and felt guilty for thinking about Luna like that.
A couple weeks later, it was almost time for Halloween. Leo and Luna went out to get costumes, looking for something that they could hang out with their friends with. "How about this?" Leo said as he put a scary mask on. Luna just rolled her eyes and ignored him. As she sifted through the costumes for women, she felt as though half of them should be for couples going to bed for some "fun." Not to be out in public with. As she looked through them, there were a number of cheerleader ones, in the color of the various sports teams, including the local pro football team. She then found a custom colored one of green and white and it looked rather nice.
Luna's favorite color was green, despite people seeing that more as a boy's color. She also liked the outfit that had a bit of white to it. Leo came over and saw her looking at it. "Boy, that skirt's as short as the one for school, and those are barely a skirt at all." Luna nodded. Despite the revealing outfit, Luna really liked it. "I guess I could switch it up to be a bit more modest," she replied. Leo looked at her funny. "How are you going to do that sis?"
"I could wear a black shirt underneath to hide my bare midriff," she started, "Wear long stockings to help with the bare legs and cut some really short shorts to be underneath the skirt. That way, it would be a much more modest cheerleader." Leo nodded. "That sounds good. Especially since we could get invited to a party or something. Why don't we get those things, just in case?" Leo and Luna then went to the clothing department and Luna found a black t-shirt that she could wear underneath and some really short short shorts. The short shorts were extremely tight (even tighter than usual) and a few sizes smaller, but Luna wanted them to be as short as the skirt. Still, it worked and Luna had her costume for Halloween.
Sure enough, it was a couple days later, and Leo ran inside happily. "Luna! We got invited to Chris' party! He's on the football team and probably has some hot people there." Luna stood up. "Is Dexter invited?" she asked. Leo's smile went away. "I...I doubt it," he replied. Luna frowned. "Then why don't we invite him to come with us?" Leo chuckled. "You know Dexter's not the kind of guy that goes out Luna."
Luna sighed. She really wanted some other friends to be there, besides just Leo. "Well what if we brought him with anyways?" she questioned. Leo shook his head. "No. It's cool kids only." Luna sat back down and was upset. She hated that their best friend wasn't included. Still, Leo had some good news for her. "At least now your costume won't go to waste." Luna agreed. "Yeah. I'll be sure to wear the more modest stuff at the party." Leo smiled.
"Great! It's Halloween at 7!" he replied and headed upstairs. Luna frowned and still wanted to do something for Dexter. She knew he would be all alone and lonely by himself.
Sure enough, a couple nights later, it was Halloween. Everyone was happy, because this year, Halloween fell on a Saturday. The day before had been hectic as everyone talked about going out that night and the following night. Dexter had remained quiet and had not gotten an invite to a single one. Leo and Luna refrained on telling Dexter, as they didn't want him to feel bad about not getting invited. Leo was excited, because lots of the popular kids were going to be there. However, he knew some of them probably had an eye on his sister. He would be sure to keep those guys off and away from her as much as possible.
As Leo and Luna got ready for the party, Luna put on all of her more conservative clothing. The one good thing about New Domino City was that it was known for it's cold harsh winters. Even around Halloween this year, it was going to be mild, but still on the chilly side once it got dark. So, the clothes also would help against the cold, and kept Luna's modest secret from coming out. As Leo got ready in his Duel Monster costume, he looked over at his sister and couldn't help, but notice how odd she looked for a cheerleader. "You sure people will still be able to tell what you are?" Leo asked. Luna shrugged. "Hey. It's better than having guys trying to look up my skirt all night," she replied.
Leo had to agree and kept quiet for until they were almost ready to go. "Can we stop at Dexter's place before we go?" Luna asked, "I wanna check in and see how he's doing." Leo thought that sounded good and they planned for it, as they headed out the door.
When they got there, they saw some little kids walking around the apartment. Leo and Luna smiled at them and the kids wanted candy (to which Leo and Luna had none). Leo and Luna had their costumes covered by their jackets and you couldn't tell what they were. When they got to Dexter's apartment, they knocked on the door and they got no response. Leo then knocked loudly and said, "Dexter! It's Leo! Open up!" After a moment, the door opened a crack.
"Okay good," Dexter whispered, "Quick! Get in!" Leo and Luna did. "Dexter. What's going on?" Leo asked. Dexter looked down. "I don't have any candy, so I don't want kids coming to my door and knocking," he replied. Luna and Leo frowned. "Why not?" Luna asked. Dexter shrugged. "Because I forgot to buy some and I didn't think I needed some." Leo smiled. "That's okay. Just put a sign on the door," Leo replied. He quickly went and wrote, "No Candy," on a piece of paper. He then taped it to the door and smiled.
"Perfect," he declared and Luna and Dexter rolled their eyes.
"Thanks Leo. Now my door's going to have eggs all over it," Dexter replied. Leo shrugged. "Anyways. We're just heading over to a Halloween party and wanted to check in on you first. So, I can see that Dex is doing good, so lets go Luna." Leo tried to take her hand and bring her out the door. Luna looked over her shoulder and saw Dexter just standing there all by himself. "Wait!" Luna cried, "I'm going to stay here." Leo faced her and looked confused. "What? Why?" he asked. Luna turned to Dexter. "I just feel bad that you're here all by yourself on Halloween." Leo smiled. "Come on Luna. Dex spends tons of time by himself and besides, his Birthday's in a few days, so we'll see him then." Luna was not backing down.
"No. I want to stay here." Luna turned to Dexter. "We can do something that's not scary," she added, knowing neither her nor Dexter liked scary things. Leo wasn't going to give up though. "But Luna, all the cool kids are going to be there! We should be there to meet some of them." Luna shook her head. "No thanks. I'm going to stay here with Dexter." Dexter lowered his head. "It's all right Luna. You don't have to stay here. Leo's right. You should go have fun." Luna shook her head. "Uh uh," she replied, "We'll find something fun to do. I promise." Dexter turned to Leo, who shrugged and smiled. "Okay. You're loss," he replied as he headed for the door, "I'll pick you up later Luna." Dexter and Luna said goodbye, as Leo left, and shut the door.
As Luna turned to Dexter, he instantly felt nervous. He had never been alone with Luna since they came home, let alone any other girl for a very long time. "Um...Um...so what do you want to do?" Dexter asked. Luna smiled. "You can find a game for us to play, while I get some of these clothes off." Dexter was confused. "What? Clothes off?" Luna nodded. "I was wearing some extra clothes, in case we had to be outside, but now that I'm going to be inside, I don't really need to wear them." Dexter nodded. "Oh right. I understand. I'll go find a game for us."
Dexter nodded and went to a cabinet that had lots of board games. To be honest, most of them he didn't play anymore, plus he was always by himself. As Dexter contemplated what to play, Luna was in the bathroom getting rid of most of her outfit. "I don't need my undershirt, as I'm much too hot," Luna commented and got rid of it. Next, her stockings went too. "I don't need these short shorts anymore," Luna added. She then took them off and put on the rest of the costume. Now, she looked just like the girl on the cover of the costume.
Okay, maybe not just like her. Luna was much taller and her legs were much longer. Her stomach also wasn't as flat as the girl, but she certainly didn't have much of a gut herself. Still, Luna realized that she wasn't modest anymore, but she wasn't mad or upset. "I'm just with Dexter," she reminded herself, "He would never do something bad to me and he's a really nice guy. I can definitely trust him." Luna smiled and picked up her clothes. She set them down and found Dexter setting up the game. "I'm all ready," Luna announced.
Dexter smiled. "Good," he replied and looked up, "I'm all..."
Dexter gasped and just stared at Luna in her green and white cheerleader outfit. "I...I..." Dexter gulped and his face turned red. Luna's face turned to concern. "Is everything all right Dexter?" Dexter looked down and was sort of able to regain his composure. "Um...the game's all set up," he finally finished. "Okay," Luna said and sat down. As she did, the back of her short skirt blew up, but Dexter luckily didn't notice. Dexter kept his head down and read some of the rules. "Okay. So you can go first," Dexter commented. Luna thanked him and the game started.
As they made their first few turns, Dexter felt really awkward. He was starting to notice little things about Luna that were nice: her smile, her laugh, her long long legs...Dexter shook his head. How he could think about one of his very few friends like that? Dexter knew that he was being a pervert by thinking that. He also knew that there was no way Luna would ever be going out a guy like him, even if he was a friend of her's for a long time.
As the game went along, Dexter had to look at Luna and her...attire some more. Dexter felt guilty for staring at her, as she sat campfire style with her legs. Dexter got caught staring at her once. When it happened again, Luna repeated a question from before. "Is everything all right Dexter?" Luna asked. Dexter nodded. "Yeah. Everything's fine," he lied. He sighed and mentally scolded himself. Luna heard his sigh and felt bad.
A few turns later, Dexter looked up and was again staring at Luna's skimpy clothing chose. As his face turned red, Luna again asked him if everything was all right. Dexter couldn't lie anymore. Dexter knew that Luna could read him like a book and read through his lies. He looked down and closed his eyes. "No. It's just that..." Luna reached across the board and took his hand. Dexter opened his eyes and saw the sadness in Luna's eyes. "What was it?" Luna asked.
"It's just that..." Dexter was scared. What if Luna got mad at him? Dexter knew he had to tell her, even if it meant hurting their friendship. "It's just that you look really nice in that outfit." Luna gasped and her cheeks turned red. There was a moment of silence and Dexter opened his eyes. He then looked up at Luna, who was smiling and about to cry. "You really think so?" she asked. Dexter nodded nervously, with a blush on his face. Luna let go of his hand and turned to the side. "I know I'm not a model like the girl in the picture, but I'm flattered that you think that way. I'm both touched and honored."
Dexter looked nervously. He never had a women compliment him before, except for teachers, but that was in school. "You're welcome and again, you look really nice." Luna blushed. "Thank you Dexter. I know I don't normally show this much skin, as I only feel comfortable with my legs, but that's because many people wear shorts in Summer. Plus, I have to wear the skirt for school." She looked at her outfit again. "You don't think I look bad in it?" Dexter shook his head and Luna smiled. "Oh Dexter. You're so sweet." She leaned over and gave him a hug. Dexter took a moment, before returning it. "You're welcome Luna."
Dexter never really saw himself as a gentleman, especially when it came to eating. However, it was nice that someone liked him, even if she had been his friends for a long time. They finally got back to the game and the rest was pretty smoothly. As they got up, once they were done, Dexter looked up and nearly saw up her skirt. He quickly looked away. Luna had seen it all, but she wasn't mad at all. In fact, she even smiled, and didn't question Dexter about what just happened. "You wanna watch some TV?" she asked and Dexter nodded.
He put the game back and he quickly sat down. As he did, Luna dropped the remote on the floor. When she bended over, her school skirt would stay put with the tape on her legs. But the costume didn't have tape and Dexter got a easy shot of what was covered by her skirt. Dexter blushed at her green panties and felt extremely guilty. He saw his favorite color green and saw it until Luna sat back down. When Luna turned to him, Dexter looked away. "Something wrong?" she asked. Dexter looked away.
"No," he replied. Luna frowned. "I know you're lying," she replied. Dexter sighed. "Dexter. What's going on?" Dexter closed his eyes, preparing for the worst. "I saw up your skirt," he replied, "And I saw your underwear. It was green." Luna gasped and blushed. She didn't know what to say. "You can slap me and beat me up if you want," Dexter added. Luna turned extremely sad. "I would never slap you," she replied as she moved in close, "I would never slap any of my friends." Dexter looked up. "But...I did something terrible. You must see me as a giant pervert." Luna shook her head. "You're not a pervert," she replied, "And...and I'm not really mad or upset."
Dexter was confused. "Why?" he asked. Luna shrugged. "Because you're my friend Dexter. I know you. I know you would never do anything bad to hurt me." Dexter blushed and looked away. "So...then I'm a wimp." Luna shook her head. "No. You're not a wimp Dexter. Stop being so hard on yourself! You're a great guy. I know you don't see it, but people like you." Dexter just stayed quiet and Luna gave him another hug. Dexter hugged her back. "I know you love hugs and affection," Luna noted.
Dexter blushed. "You can read me like a book," he noted. Luna giggled. "Then you're a great book to read," she replied and leaned on him as she turned on the TV. "Come on," she continued, "Lets find something fun to watch, that isn't scary." Dexter nodded. He felt odd sitting close to Luna, but he'd be lying if he didn't enjoy getting to have someone close to him.
Back at the party, Leo looked around, as kids around him were not of age. Yet, they had adult beverages and some were clearly having too much. Leo looked over as two of them started making out. "Ugh. If Luna was here, she would be gone by now." Leo looked over and saw a girl lean into a bush and started getting sick. Leo quickly got up. "I'm out of here," he decided. He had no adult beverages, learning from Yusei and Akiza.
When he got home, Leo saw Luna smiling as she sat close to Dexter. "Okay you two, it's time for Luna and me to go home." Luna was surprised to see her brother so early, but when he said, "I'll tell you all about it when we get home," it was probably best to keep it a secret for now. As the twins got up to leave, Leo and Dexter shared a brief hug. However, Luna followed her earlier lead, and gave him a full hug. The two enjoyed it and Leo smiled as he saw it. "Thanks for everything Dexter," Luna replied. Dexter then got her a bag for her extra clothes. When she left, Luna saw a smile on Dexter's face.
"This truly was a Happy Halloween," she said to herself. Leo heard her and smiled.
