Brennan and Angela entered their dorm building bags in tow from their costume shopping extravaganza. Brennan was still a little worried about the costume she had allowed Angela to pick out for her.
"Don't worry sweetie it's perfect! You will be the eye candy of all the frat boys tonight." Angela said with a wicked grin. "But I don't want to be eye candy! What exactly does that mean anyway?" Brennan asked innocently. "It means they will be devouring you with their eyes! And yes you want that believe me." Angela said grabbing Brennan by the arm and dragging her up the stairs towards her room.
"My roommates gone for the weekend visiting family and I can't stand your roommate Danielle so lets get ready in my room." Angela said walking down the hallway towards her door. "Oh so it was Danielle, how sad is it Angela knows who my roommate is and I don't even know her name!"
Angela began to open her door but stopped and looked at Brennan a little worry in her eyes. "Ok before I open the door I'm giving you a fair warning, my roommate is a pig. So if you want to just throw all her crap that is on her bed on the floor. I'm giving you free license to do so. As they say Mi casa es su casa." Brennan just smiled, "Just open the door Ange I'm sure I can take it. Besides Danielle is my roommate and we both know what she's like after a party." Angela began to laugh remembering Brennan's stories of Danielle coming back every night drunk out of her mind, "Ok maybe I am over reacting."
As Brennan stepped into the room she could not believe her eyes. All on Angela's side of the room the walls were covered in pictures. Paintings, sketches, charcoal drawings, water colors, you name it. It was there. Brennan was stunned she couldn't speak. After what seemed like hours of just looking at them all Brennan finally spoke. "There all so amazing. How did you do all of these." Angela couldn't help but blush she didn't think she was that good, "Well most of these aren't even done. Most of the time I stop and lose my idea after awhile. That is my problem with my art. I guess I judge myself to harshly." Brennan couldn't believe what she was hearing, "You shouldn't your really good."
As Brennan scanned the rest of the room her eyes spotted Angela's roommates side. "Oh good God! How can a human function in this room!" Brennan had to cover her nose as she got closer to the bed. There were trash sacks, bottles, clothes, boxes, and even food laying all over the floor. It looked like a city dump. "How do you tolerate this Ange?" Brennan asked with concern. "I don't I usually clean it up every now and then, but I didn't have time this week." "I'm not sitting on that bed! No way No how!" Brennan said shaking her head from side to side.
All the sudden Angela disappeared to the bathroom returning wearing bright yellow gloves and carrying some sort of contraption along with a can of Lysol. The contraption was a broom with a dust pan taped to the end of it. "I call it the crap picker upper. I use it to push all her stuff off the bed and then I sweep it over into the corner. Pretty nifty huh?" Brennan couldn't help but laugh. "Very clever Angela."
After Angela had as she called it 'De crapetized the other side of the room.' Brennan sat down on the bed and began to get dressed. "Hey let me do your makeup, I've got tons of different colors and I'll make you look hot!" Angela said wiggling her eyebrows goofily at her. Brennan could tell she really wanted to do her makeup and Bren didn't feel like protesting so she gave in.
Twenty minuets later……
"Oh wow, Damn am I good!" Angela said hands on her hips admiring her handy work. Brennan was too scared to look in the mirror. "Come on Sweetie take a look. You look fabulous!"
Brennan slowly turned around to face her reflection in the full length mirror. Brennan was wearing knee high black leather boots, 'Angela's'. She was also wearing her cop outfit which consisted of a short blue skirt, a blue collared shirt that had a gold police badge on it. Atop her head was a police hat and on her belt was a pair of handcuffs. She definitely looked the part. "Oh wow, I don't even recognize myself, I look…I look…" "HOT!" said Angela finishing Brennan's sentence. "Now move so I can admire myself." Angela said jokingly pushing Brennan out of the way.
"Wow Ange you look so cute." "I know right." Angela said grinning, Tempe couldn't help but grin as well. Angela was wearing a Bat Girl costume. Black leather skirt and all. She even had the mask with the little bat horns. Angela twirled her cape one last time in the mirror before saying, "Alright officer lets go make some bad men cry." Angela grabbed Tempe's hand and off they went to the Phi Theta Phi house.
The sorority house looked just like any other house from the outside, that is until you got inside. Brennan's feet were hurting already. "I do not understand why you would wear these Ange there like a Chinese torture devise." Angela laughed "The things we do for beauty." "I don't know what that means."
Brennan and Angela climbed the stone steps to the front door of the house. The front door was made of wood and the windows were all made of stained glass .When Angela rang the door bell it played the school song.
All the sudden a tall blonde girl wearing a nurses outfit answered the door. "Angie darling!" she said in a horrible British accent. Tempe already did not like her. "Sophie how are you! I haven't seen you in weeks how was England?" , ok that explains the accent. "It was absolutely divine all those British chaps, it was so fetch." Brennan couldn't help but let out a little giggle which caused Angela to elbow her in her side. This caused Brennan to have even more trouble containing her laughter. Sophie didn't seem to even notice Brennan standing at the door. "Sophie this is my friend Temperance Brennan she is a pledge." Sophie all the sudden seemed to notice Brennan's existence, "Hello welcome to the Phi Theta Phi house." Sophie said holding out her hand to Brennan. "Hi it's very nice to meet you." Brennan replied back shaking Sophie's hand. "Your just in time too, the party hasn't started yet. All the pledges are meeting in the dinning room. Let me show you to it."
As Brennan stepped inside she was standing in the entrance hall of what looked like a old 19th century home. It had a huge wooden stair case that curved as it went up. There were two door ways one to the right and one to the left. The right seemed to lead to what looked like a bar area that seemed to be just recently stocked for the party. The opposite way lead to the dinning area. There were at least twenty girls standing in the next room. None of which Brennan recognized. They all were dressed in different costumes. One was a witch, another was a prisoners, there was a school girl, a cat, and many were of pop culture references that Brennan would never understand. All the girls were standing around a large oak table that had bowls of different chips, dip, and cookies. At the each end of the table were tubs full of ice that had drinks in them.
"Aren't you excited Bren? Your costume is so much better than all those other girls. You will definitely stand out!" Stand out? That's what I'm afraid of.
All the sudden a Brunette entered the room caring a clip board dressed as a devil. "Oh how appropriate." Angela whispered to Brennan. "Be careful around her Brennan she is the one person I have to convince to let you in. The more outgoing you are the better, just remember that please." Brennan noticed that a young boy was following the brunette around. He looked to be about the age of fifteen and had floppy brown hair. The girl looked extremely annoyed. "Zach stop following me around!" The boy also looked annoyed "But Bonnie there's nothing to do and you said you would show me the libraries while I was here." The girl rolled her eyes, "I know what I said and I'm sorry but I won't be able to show you them. This party is really important so it will just have to wait till next time ok." Zach just nodded and walk off out of the room and up the stairs.
"Ok sorry that took so long. My cousin Zach is in town and he is a complete school nerd so if you see him hanging around just remember he is completely harmless. Now down to business. I'm Bonnie Bright and welcome to the Phi Theta Phi and Beta Alpha costume party. Ok pledges here's the deal. Each one of you will be given a tray to carry drinks around on. Be polite and just have fun. The Beta Alpha has agreed to have spies watching each one of you carefully. The person who gets the best review will be able to join the house simple as that. Any questions. No didn't think so. Angela, Sophie and I will also be watching you carefully and if we do not like what we see, we will ask you to leave. Now lets go get those drinks filled up the guests will be here any minuet."
Oh boy, I'm so dead!

I don't really like it but it was the only way to explain how they got to the party. The next chpt. will definently have the actual party itself in it. there will be more HA and possible BB in the next one oh and expect more of zach in the future! please review!!!!
