Disclaimer in chapter 1

ENOY! :D

The room was dark when Catherine woke hours later. She snuggled closer to Gil and smiled as his arm tightened around her in his sleep. She suppressed a groan at the sound of her cell phone vibrating on the bedside table. Gently so as not to wake her lover, Catherine slid from Gil's embrace, sitting up and wrapping the sheet around her body as she reached for the phone. Settling back against the headboard she pressed a button and brought it to her ear, absentmindedly gazing at the man sleeping next to her while the automated voice informed her that she had a new voicemail message.

"Catherine! Hi! It's Natalia." The strawberry blonde's eyebrow rose as Natalia's voice came over the line. "Look I need to… erm… I need to talk to someone." There was a pause as the girl began to cry, and Catherine felt a twinge of guilt at missing the call; she sounded desperate. "I think I'm in love with Sara Sidle. Cath, please pick up. I need to talk to you… please"

Shock was evident on her face as the message ended and the phone slipped from Catherine's grasp, landing softly on the bed.

"Holy fuck!"

Natalia was in bed, still lightly sobbing. She was scared to death of her feelings. She lay on her stomach in her bed, her arms around her pillow while her face was buried in another pillow to muffle the sobs. The brunette heard her phone vibrating and picked it up. She glanced at the caller ID, it was Catherine.

"Cath?" Natalia answered with a sob.

"Oh, Talia." Catherine said quietly. Hearing her friend's reassuring voice made Natalia break into cries again. "Talia, are you sure?" Catherine asked.

"Yes," Natalia said nodding even though Catherine couldn't see her. "I want to be around her, Cath, why do you think I'm failing calculus, it's distracting, I just wanna be with her Cath, more than I have ever wanted to be with someone." She cried into her phone.

"Oh sweetheart... Have you maybe thought about telling her?" Catherine said softly.

"No, I can't...no I just...I can't, Cath! My parents would kill me if I were with her! You know how against...this they are." Natalia sobbed back, knowing her religious parents would rather have her die than have her loving another girl.

"Who said you'd need to tell them? It's nothing to do with them Talia. You can't make yourself miserable, if there's a chance you could be with her, take it." Catherine replied.

"You don't understand Cath! You don't understand what it's like to feel this way about someone and not being able to tell someone! If I tell her and she wants more, then I'll have to tell my friends, and everyone at school and then my parents will find out! I can't Catherine." Natalia said. She heard Catherine sigh.

"Talia, believe me when I say I understand what that's like better than you could possibly know. If the only way to be with her is to sneak around, at least for now, then that's what you have to do. Trust me, it can work."

"I wouldn't even know how to ask her, it'd be as if I would walk up to her and said: 'hi are you lesbian? yeah I am and I love you?' I can't just ask her Cath!" The brunette said again.

"Well, obviously you need to be a little more subtle than that. How about just talking to her a bit more, get to know her? You could pick up some clues about which way she swings." Catherine said. Natalia could almost see her roll her eyes as she said that.

"I guess, I could do that." Natalia said, "or I could completely ignore her and hope this all goes away." She added.

"Natalia Boa Vista! You start talking to her more or I'm gonna kick your butt!" Catherine said sternly, making Natalia smiled.

"I'm not making any promises, Cath...I'm just scared." She said quietly.

"I know you are honey. But if you don't take chances you're gonna lead a very boring life." Catherine said sympathetically.

"I guess." Natalia almost whispered, "Where are you anyways? Where are you that you couldn't take my call?"

"I was busy..." Catherine said. Natalia heard some mumbling in the background. "Talia I gotta go. Just do what I say and that girl will be yours." Catherine added. Natalia could almost hear the wink down the phone.

"Alright, thanks Cath!" Natalia smiled, "Good night." She added.

"G'night." Catherine said hanging up. Natalia smiled as she put her phone down. Catherine had always been the voice of reason that gave her words of wisdom. Maybe she would give Sara a chance, see what would happen, she had nothing to lose. The brunette changed into her pyjamas and settled into bed. Natalia smiled and fell asleep thinking of Sara.

The week passed and all went well. Natalia was still going to her tutoring sessions with Sara and the two were talking, but not enough for Catherine. When Natalia arrived at Catherine's house to get ready for the party, the redhead threw open the door.

"Hey! Come on in." She said letting Natalia walk by. Catherine was already in her costume.

"Costume looks great, by the way." The brunette said looking at Catherine. The redhead had a red and black dancer's costume on. The top was a tight black corset attached to a small red, fringy skirt that ended mid-thigh. It was complete with black fish net tights and black high heels.

"Thanks, it's by Playboy." She grinned. "What are you wearing this year?" she asked. Natalia grinned and pulled her costume out of her bag.

"A replica of Halle Berry's Catwoman costume," Natalia grinned, "I love my aunt." She sighed. Her aunt had been able to make her the perfect replica for Halloween, without telling the girl's parents. The brunette ran to the bathroom and changed. She slid on the black leather bra and the belts that went around her long torso. As she began pulling the leather pants on, she realised it was nearly impossible.

"Catherine, I think I need…" Natalia began walking out. "WOAH!" She added seeing Stella that had finally arrived. Her friend was dressed as a Greek Goddess. The costume was composed of a white top that might as well be called a bra and a skirt that wrapped around her hips and went down to the ground. Her costume allowed her to show off her flat stomach.

"I had to work out like crazy to get these." Stella said probly pointing her toned abs. The two others laughed.

"You look pretty damn good, too Talia." Stella said smiling at her Latina friend.

"Yeah, but I can't pull these up." Natalia said pointing to her pants.

"Hang tight." Catherine said grabbing the left side of Natalia's leather pants as she motioned to Stella to help her.

"Ready?" Stella smiled as she braced herself. Natalia nodded.

"One, two…" Catherine began counting, "three." She said as she and Stella pulled the pants, bringing them to the right spot. Natalia closed the pant's button and looked at her friends.

"Oh, yeah! I look good." Natalia grinned, confidently. The three laughed as they got to work on hair and make-up. Stella pulled up Catherine's hair in a fancy twist and stuck a few red and black feathers in it. Natalia applied a gorgeous layer of make-up on Catherine's face as she giggle. Natalia and the redhead then attacked Stella's curls. They pulled her hair up in a messy up do and let a few curls fall loose around her face and all over to give it a move goddess effect. Stella took it to herself to apply her gold eyes shadow and the golden sparkles to her face.

"Do you think Mac will like it?" She asked looking at her friends in full costume.

"He's gonna love it." Natalia smiled.

"He's gonna jump you." Catherine grinned.

"I hope." Stella mumbled. The two turned to look at her with wide eye.

"Are you two going to…" Catherine asked with a grin.

"We're gonna try, hopefully we won't get interrupted…again." Stella smiled looking at Catherine.

"Hey! How was I supposed to know it was your first time with Mac?" Catherine asked innocently. The three laughed.

"Well, we should get a move on if we wanna get there on time." Catherine smiled pointing to the door. They had planned on grabbing a quick dinner before going to Wendy's for the party. The three walked out the door and headed out.

Calleigh sat in Wendy's room, wondering what was taking the brunette so long to get ready.

"What do you think?" Wendy asked stepping into the room. Calleigh's jaw dropped.

"You're wearing that?" She asked. Wendy looked down at her small Princess Leah costume. It consisted of a bra and a few pieces of fabric to cover the essentials.

"Yeah, why?" Wendy asked as if nothing was wrong.

"Nothing." Calleigh said shaking her head. Wendy grinned again, knowing what Calleigh meant, most girls hated her Halloween costumes. Wendy walked to her closet and pulled out a dress bag.

"Now this is what I got for you." She added showing Calleigh the costume. The blonde picked it up and went to change.

"I am NOT wearing this." Calleigh said walking back into the room. The sexy Robin Hood costume pushed her breasts up and squeezed them tight. The skirt ended mid thigh and the boots went to Calleigh's knees.

"Are you that uncomfortable?" Wendy asked. Calleigh looked down at her costume again.

"No." She sighed, "it's just not me to dress…sexy." She added.

"Well, I think you look fine." Wendy smiled, "Besides, Halloween is the time to dress like a slut and get away with it." She added with a big grin. Calleigh sat in front of Wendy's vanity and let the brunette do her hair. The golden locks were styled into big, loose curls that fell around Calleigh's face. Wendy slowly placed the Robin Hood hat on the blonde's head and pinned it in place. She then proceeded to apply a little bit of makeup.

"There ya go!" Wendy smiled, "You look awesome, Calleigh." She added.

"Sure I do." Calleigh said with a sigh.

"Alright blondie! Cheer up and come help me with downstairs." Wendy smiled pulling Calleigh with her. The two started preparing the house for the party that was about to happen.

More Halloween Party to come ;)
