Chapter 9: Halloween Fun Part 1
Well after the events that took place yesterday the twins had the day off, but they still had to go into school to explain to the principle what happened yesterday. When the twins and Clint entered the office the principle was already sitting there looking like he was waiting for them. "Hi are you Principle Howard? Clint asked entering the semi-large office with the twins.
"Yes I am, and you are Clint Barton. Take a seat if you wish" Principle informed them as they all took a seat before continuing. "Well let's make this quick. I just want to know what happened yesterday in the cafeteria". Clint looked at Wanda who hesitated before speaking.
"I was sitting at my lunch table when Adam and his group of friends said I needed to apologize to them for them embarrassing themselves earlier. When I said no and tried to walk away he grabbed me roughly so I punched him in the nose" Wanda started.
"Don't you think there was another way to make him let him go of your arm beside punching him in the nose?" Principle Howard asked looking at Wanda. Pietro was going to speak but Wanda beat him to it. Wow Pietro got out sped.
"I don't know what he was going to do to me if I didn't punch him." Wanda answered truthfully, and respectfully. Clint and Pietro looked at her before Wanda decided to continue her story. "After I did that he pushed me into the table where I hit my head. Just then Pietro came in." Wanda finished letting Pietro finish the story.
"Adam taunted me, then pushed me which caused me to punch him in the nose. Just then his friend started to join in, but before we went further you guys came in, and that's all" Pietro finished narrowing his crystal blue eyes at the memory that occurred yesterday. Principle Howard sat in his chair in silence. His slightly aged face showing intense concentration for no reason Pietro thought. Clint was just worried that they would get suspended in the first few days of starting school.
"Alright considering that your violence was out of self-defense, You two won't be suspended" Principle Howard decided who made Clint let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding in. Pietro and Wanda also let a small breath out smiling, and looking at each other.
"Thank you so much" Clint smiled shaking Principle Howard's hand standing up.
"Yea just try not to get into another fight" he warned looking at the twins.
"We won't. Promise" Wanda stated looking at Pietro sending the message to behave. Pietro rolled his eyes playfully but promised in his head that he will behave...unless of course something happens to Wanda.
"That's right you two won't" Clint playfully said, but still had some seriousness behind the statement. The twins picked up on that, and nodded. "Alright then we'll be taking our leave. Nice to meet you Principle Howard"
"Yes nice to meet you. Goodbye, and hopefully I'll see you two in school tomorrow" Principle Howard waved. The twins nodded as they walked out the door, and out the school.
"Well now that that's over, you guys hungry?' Clint asked as everyone got in the car. Pietro gave him that look that said 'Really? Did you just ask me that question?'. Wanda said she was hungry, so the group decided that they would to Perkins considering it was only 10:43 in the morning. The drive was about 25 minutes away, so when they arrived Pietro was a little more than impatient.
"Can you guys please hurry up?" Pietro wondered already at the entrance while Clint, and Wanda were still walking towards the entrance.
"Slow down kid. We're not all as fast as you" Clint signed out as they all entered Perkins. Pietro rolled his eyes at the comment, but choose not to respond. They were seated and given menus.
"Hi my name is Carmen, and-" Carmen started. "Pietro, Wanda surprised to see you!" Carmen silently exclaimed. "How are ok Wanda after what happened yesterday?" Carmen asked worriedly. Wanda nodded in response seeming to be deep in thought. Pietro knew she was trying to read her mind. Clint seemed to pick up on it also, and sent a warning stare at her, and she stopped. Carmen seemed to not notice seeing as went on asking questions. "How about you Pietro?" noticing his small mark on the left side of his face.
"Yea I'm fine" Pietro responded curtly.
"How come your not in school today?' Wanda asked looking at Carmen seeing as she can't read her mind.
"That's good Pietro oh, and I was supposed to be in school today but my boss called me and asked me to come in early today seeing as the waiter who was supposed to be here called in sick I think" Carmen explained. Wanda nodded understanding. "..oops sorry may I get your orders" Carmen says getting her notepad out of her dark green work apron.
"Yes I'll get a country style egg white omelet, with wheat toast, and a diet Pepsi" Clint informed.
"Scrambled eggs with American cheese, white toast, and a Pepsi" Wanda continued.
"Three eggs scrambled with American cheese and ham with bacon, three pancakes, white toast, and a Pepsi." Pietro finished closing the menu. Carmen looked at him in shocked, but Wanda and Clint looked like it was completely normal...well it was...for them at least. Carmen looked at him for a few more seconds before recovering.
"Alright...I'll get those out for you as fast as possible" Carmen said taking their menus. The three sat in silence for about a few seconds before Clint had a look of realization.
"What's wrong?" Wanda asked as the twins looked at him with confusion, and slight concern in their eyes.
"Oh it's nothing, I just realized that Halloween is coming up". The twins looked at each other in confusion.
"What's Halloween? Has the old man gone nuts?" Pietro mentally asked Wanda.
"I don't know Pietro, let's ask" Wanda stated. "What is Halloween?"
"You guys don't know what Halloween is?" Clint asked insanely shocked, and confused. The twins shook their heads still looking at him with the same confused face. "Oh boy" Clint signed out mentally. Wanda though picked up on that, and got more confused. Was she supposed to know what it was? This made her feel stupid. Pietro reassured her though. No one ever talked about this in Sokovia, not even their parents.
"Halloween is when people, kids usually dress up in costumes, and go from house to house asking for candy" Clint explained looking at the twins to find that their confused faces still remained there, though they seemed to be less confused.
"Ok...so?" Pietro wondered.
"So well adults dress up also we just don't do the candy asking. We Avengers" Clint whispered the 'we Avengers' part before continuing. "We always dress up, and we have a Halloween party. I just now wondering what I want to be" Clint said. "Don't worry you guys can come too" Clint reassured looking at the twins who finally seemed to understand everything now. Just then Carmen came out with there food (wow that was fast right?).
"Here you guys go. Enjoy!" Carmen said before walking to another table. Pietro wasn't really listening, he was just so hungry! Clint took a few bites of his food before speaking. "After this you guys want to check out some Halloween stores?" Pietro, and Wanda nodded in a yes before they went into silence eating away. Pietro of course was the first one to finish, finishing within 5 minutes the food was given to him. This left Wanda and Clint finishing 15 minutes later.
"Whoo... that was good!" Clint signed out in bliss as they left Perkins (they already paid...well Clint paid). Pietro nodded in agreement and Wanda smiled. They got in the car and drove of to go get costumes.
That is what they did for the rest of the day. Going from store to store trying on Halloween costumes, Pietro being the one that he is scared that crap out of Wanda with one of the costumes. "Pietro!" Wanda exclaimed playing hitting his arm before breaking off into laughter with her brother. One store the three were at got Pietro's attention.
"Hey it's you guys" Pietro pointed out looking at the multiple Avengers costumes.
"Wow..look at that" Clint signed out before an idea came to his head. He smirked in triumph, luckily the twins didn't see his face. Even though they didn't see his face Wanda read his thoughts, and smiled in her own triumph.
"Are you ok?" Pietro was about to ask, but noticing her smile he stood silent smiling knowing his sister for once had something up HER sleeve. When the three were done, while no one bought a costume..it didn't matter. They ate again...thanks Pietro XD. When they got home surprisingly it was exactly 10:30.
"Holy shit! Man it's late!" Clint yawned out walking upstairs with the twins behind him. "Goodnight guys"
"Goodnight" the twins repeated in unsion as they watched Clint until he closed the door, and the sound of snoring could be heard. Pietro, and Wanda raced into Wanda's room closing the door.
"So I know you have an idea" Pietro stated looking at his younger twin with excitement in his blue eyes.
"Ok so you know how we saw those costumes of them in that store?" Wanda asked looking at her older twin with for once...the same excitement in her brown eyes. Pietro nodded. "Well I was thought that you could dress up as Clint, and I could dress up as Natasha" Wanda informed. Pietro eyes widen before grinning in excitement.
"That is a great idea Wanda!" Pietro praised looking at Wanda impressed. "I saw there costumes in the store too...they won't see this coming for sure" Pietro confidently stated. Wanda nodded agreeing with her brother 100%. She soon let out a yawn. "Yea I'm tired too Wanda. Get some sleep Wanda, goodnight" Pietro said hugging Wanda which was returned.
"Goodnight Pietro love you"
"Love you too" Pietro called out from outside the door. Wanda changed her clothes, and went to sleep smiling at their plan ahead.
