The group bustled down the stairs to get to the basement and Jeff was in the lead. They reached the basement and found a most surprising sight.
"Dean Pelton?" They all said in unison. And there stood the dean in a pink tutu and tiara, trying to restack the cardboard boxes after he had knocked them over previously.
"Oh rats!" The dean put the box in his hands back on the ground and placed his hands onto his hips in frustration.
"Wait; were you the one who shut the power off tonight?" Annie questioned, the group were now all facing the dean with annoyed and confused looks upon their faces.
"And the person who has been harassing us all night?" Britta chimed in.
"Ugh, alright it was me ok!" The dean threw his hands up in annoyance, and caught a look at Jeff. "Oh Winger, nice costume," He said with a smirk and Jeff cringed slightly.
"But Dean, why'd you do it?" Jeff questioned him, trying to ignore the comment made about his costume.
"Well, I had heard around campus that Pierce was having this Halloween party, and all week I have been showing up to your guys' study room in a different Halloween costume hoping you would get the hint." The dean explained sounding sad.
"So you weren't testing out costumes for the musical? I was really looking forward to try out," Troy mumbled to himself.
"Anyway, and when I didn't get invited I wanted to pull a little prank on you guys." The dean said sounding guilty.
"Well, even though you harassed us all night long, we ended up having great time together. So I guess we can forgive you." Troy said with a smile.
"And I'm sure Pierce will try and invite you to his future parties, am I right Pierce?" Jeff asked.
"I guess," Pierce answered but received a nudge from Shirley because of his not so enthusiastic response.
"So does this mean we can all hang out for the rest of the night?" The dean asked with a big smile.
"NO" The group answered back at him.
"But what we can do is go and turn the power back on for Pierce." Britta said.
"Hold on a minute, why didn't we just turn the power back on ourselves tonight?" Jeff questioned the group who were now all realizing this obvious solution to their problem but it had slipped all of their minds.
"You see this idea came to me earlier this evening, but we were all having so much fun I didn't want to spoil it." Abed said sincerely.
"Well seeing as all were doing is forgiving tonight, I guess this is one more to add to the list." Jeff sighed.
"Where even is the power source?" Troy asked.
"It's in the basement." Pierce answered.
"Yeah it's right behind these boxes; this is why I had stacked them here so that you would not see." The dean said gesturing to the pile of boxes behind him.
"Well let's turn the power back on," Annie said and moved towards the pile of boxes, she began moving the boxes to the ground. "There we go," Annie said as the last of the boxes had been taken down revealing the fuse board. "How exactly do we turn the power back on..?" Annie asked scrunching her face.
"Oh here," Troy had stepped forward; reaching for a small red switch located on the fuse board and simply flicked it back on. The group watched as the basement lights flickered back on.
"That's better," Shirley expressed.
Annie made her way back to Jeff and lean against him, as he slipped his arm around her both relieved the power has returned.
"So I guess we all should be getting home now," Jeff proposed to the group. They all nodded in agreement and began walking up the stairs.
The seven friends and the dean were now standing in front of the main door Jeff still having his arm around his girlfriend. Everyone began to say their goodbyes.
"This was the best Halloween ever!" Troy said to Abed.
"Definitely," Abed replied and the two performed their signature handshake.
Everyone had left the house, got into their cars and drove home. Jeff and Annie were the last to leave the house.
"Thanks again Pierce, it was… fun." Jeff said and he and Annie waved goodbye as the door shut behind them. The couple walked from the porch and made their way for Jeff's car. Jeff's hand found Annie's.
"You know despite every bad thing that happened tonight, I had a lot of fun." Jeff said.
"Yeah me too," Replied Annie.
"The part that made it so much fun was that I spent it with the girl I care most for and love." Jeff said looking into Annie's eyes.
Annie stopped walking and Jeff did as well. Annie leaned up and kissed Jeff so sweetly. "I love you,"
The couple reached the car and Jeff opened Annie's door for her to get in, he then ran around to the driver's side and climbed in.
"Troy was right, this really was the best Halloween ever," Annie admitted, "Let's not end it now, do you want to go and get some food or something?"
"Sure. I'm sure there is tons of places open at four in the morning." Jeff said sarcastically earning a giggle from Annie. "We could go back to my place and I could make you some dinner, or breakfast?" He suggested.
"Sounds perfect," Annie leaned over and found Jeff's lips once again; the couple shared a simple loving kiss for a moment. When they had broken apart Jeff started the car and they drove away to his apartment.
