A Sci-fi Halloween Party
So, it's been a while since I've updated this story, and I know I promised a sci-fi Halloween party, so here it is!
Recap: Last chapter Megan and Kate had just said their first "I love you's." Now, they live together, Todd is nowhere in the picture, and Megan has full custody of Lacey. (Yay!) So, say it is about Halloween time, and the ladies are pondering the thought of having an office-wide Halloween party.
Megan, Kate, and Lacey sat at the breakfast table one peaceful Saturday morning; Lacey was picking at her breakfast, Kate was reading the paper, and Megan was pouring herself a cup of coffee. "Can we have a Halloween party?" Kate asked, looking down from her paper. Lacey's face lit up, and Megan gave her the evil glare in an instant. "Why would you want to throw a Halloween party?" Megan asked, taking a sip of her much-to-hot coffee.
"Well, for starters…I've never thrown one and I have always wanted to throw a huge blow-out party. Not just any party though, a Halloween, costume-mandatory party." Kate took a sip of her orange juice. Lacey's face remained bright as ever as she waited for her mom to give a response.
"Ok, I guess we can throw a Halloween party. Can you pass the jam, Lacey?" Megan said with a normal tone, and Lacey's jaw hit the floor as Kate nodded and passed Megan the comics section, while continuing to read the article she'd been glued to for the past 5 minutes. "Mom. You can't just say, 'Let's throw a party.' There's planning involved! You have to know who to invite, when to have the party, what kind of theme are you going to have?"
Megan looked down from her newspaper. "I thought I would take care of the food and the invitations, if you and Kate would like to come up with a theme." Lacey was now entirely too excited, and jumped up from the table and hugged her mother. She then ran to her room and shut the door, as if already beginning to come up with costume ideas.
"You've already got something planned out, haven't you?" Megan said in a normal tone, setting her newspaper down beside her. "Yup" Kate said in a very nonchalant tone, setting her paper down as well.
"Good" said Megan. "Can you pass the jam?"
About a week later…
"Kate, I know we won't get an answer out of Megan, but can you PLEASE tell us what kind of theme you are doing for the party so we know how to dress?" Ethan was rather impatient when it came to these types of things…this was worse than Bud's baby shower.
"Ethan, I'll tell you once more. You, Curtis, Peter, and everybody else will find out on Monday when everybody else does. I promise."
Ethan nodded solemnly and left Kate's office. "She won't tell me anything" he said as he walked past Curtis, who was listening the whole time.
That Monday…
Kate got to work about 15 minutes before she normally did, and sent an email to (almost) everyone in the office about the party. The email read:
From: Murphy, Kate
To: Brumfeld, Curtis; Gross, Ethan; Dunlop, Peter; Hunt, Megan; Morris, Bud; Baker, Sam; Flemming, Lacey; (and everybody else who we don't know the names of)
This year's October 31st Halloween Party will be CHARACTER themed. This means your costume must be appropriate to that of your favorite character from any TV show, movie, book, etc. All costumes must be work-attire appropriate; this means not too revealing, not too saggy, and nothing offensive. (Also, no zombies please.)
Thank you and please RSVP.
-Kate
The entire office was buzzing that day discussing what they were going to wear to the party, who they were going as, and what time they should be there. Megan and Kate kept their mouths shut as to what they were planning on wearing. They wanted it to be a surprise more than anything.
The Night of the Party:
Because Megan and Kate had moved in together into their own house, they received plenty of trick-or-treaters early in the evening, and they greatly appreciated every one of them. When the time came for people to arrive for the party, there were only a spare few who were unable to make it.
Peter came dressed as a space cowboy, his favorite character being Mal from the short-lived show Firefly, Ethan came dressed up as Master Yoda (figures), and Curtis was Dracula.
Shortly after these three arrived, Bud and Sam appeared, Bud dressed as the Incredible Hulk, and Sam was Catwoman.
Every time someone came to the door, Megan was the one to answer the door, her excuse for Kate being, "she'll be down in a minute. She's having just a little costume difficulty."
For some, it took a moment to recognize who Megan was dressed as, but when she told them, they realized in an instant. Megan Hunt was dressed as the famous Lois Lane.
Finally, everyone was at the party, and it had been going rather well too, but Kate was still nowhere to be found. Megan was serving some 'frothy brew' to a guest when Ethan and Curtis came up to her and asked, "Where is Kate? She hasn't been down all evening! We've been dying to see her costume!"
Megan gave the guest their drink, and nodded, saying, "I'll go get her." Megan went up the flight of stairs to her bedroom and peered into the doorway to find Kate dressed and ready for the occasion. "The people are waiting." Kate simply nodded and finished the final touches on her make up. Megan went back down stairs with a huge smile on her face, and said to the boys, "She's on her way down."
Megan stepped into the kitchen for a moment to get some more refreshments (and liquor) when she heard a gasp, and thought she could have sworn she saw both Ethan and Curtis' jaws hit the floor at exactly the same time.
Kate hadn't made it halfway down the stairs when over half the guests noticed her. Ethan was hitting Curtis in the arm, and Curtis just grabbed Ethan's hand and squeezed it tight as they watched her descend the stairs.
Megan came and stood by the boys for a moment, saying, "She's breathtaking isn't she?" Ethan and Curtis both nodded in unison.
Kate descended the stair in a slow, almost delicate fashion, as if she were Cinderella at the ball.
She went over to where Megan was standing, and placed an arm around her waist. Curtis and Ethan just stared up and down. Kate's outfit was definitely NSFW.
From the top of her blonde head to the bottom of her high-heeled feet, Kate was full-fledged, six feet of ex-borg babe, in a silver suit complete with pinned back hair, metallic face pieces, and the "borg enhanced" web-like hand. She was Seven of Nine, tertiary adjunct of unimatrix zero one.
"Good evening gentlemen" Kate said in smooth, sultry voice. "Do you know who she is supposed to be?" Megan asked, looking at the guys and then back at Kate. She really did hit it spot on.
"Tha-that is Seven of Nine" stuttered Ethan, nearly dropping everything. "Tertiary adjunct of unimatrix zero" said Curtis in his own distinctive tone. Megan smiled evilly. "That's precisely right. And she's all mine tonight."
Kate heard this and said "Resistance is futile" to Megan aloud, and Ethan and Curtis nearly melted where they stood. "Whatever happened to 'must be work appropriate'?" was Peter's only question…he just admired from afar.
After Kate's stunning appearance, the party continued for a while without a hitch, and everyone finally left around 2am. Megan and Kate had just finished cleaning up the mess, and were headed off to bed. Megan was walking up the stairs with Kate on her tail, and as she began to remove her black wig, Kate stopped her saying, "don't take that off just yet." Megan smiled and held Kate's hand as they ascended the stairs to their bedroom. They took off their make-up and costumes, putting on their pajamas and getting ready for bed.
Kate was about to remove her metallic hand and metal eyepieces, when Megan stopped her. "Don't you dare remove those" Kate only looked up at her. "Resistance is futile" Megan said with an evil grin, before walking backward to the bed with her gorgeous ex-borg girlfriend who was hers for assimilation right in front of her turning out the light.
Oh this ending was just dirty! (But I know you liked it!) I can make an extended version if you'd like, but it's up to the readers! :]]]
