"I am glad you're looking a lot better than I've seen you around this time each year Tweek, especially since it's your Senior Year. Normally teens at this time are stressed about their classes. I'm glad the recent changes in your life have been a positive influence on you."

Tweek smiled at his therapist's words and nodded. "Craig and the o-others have been super helpful and s-supportive and I'm glad we're all friends a-again. It's really helped k-keep the negative thoughts a-away and I've noticed I've had less anxiety attacks and I've b-been sleeping better."

Ms. Walker smiled as she wrote a few things on her clipboard. "I've noticed you've been stuttering less as well. It's more under control than when it was the first of the school year. It probably won't fully go away and it'll be prone to come back when you're under a lot of stress, but I think with this progress, you might get rid of it by the end of the school year, if not earlier."

"Really?"

The woman nodded as she grabbed her prescription pad. "Alright, since it's the end of the month, you need an update on your medicine. I'm giving you one for the antidepressant and the mood stabilizer. Since you've been sleeping better, I'm going to skip the sleep aid. Are you okay with your anxiety pills or do you need an update?"

The blond shook his head. "I should b-be fine for the next month. I have most of them l-left from last month's prescription."

"That's good that you've been needing them less. Your anxiety will always be there, but it's good you're finding alternate methods that are helping than relying on the pills. I'm very proud of you Tweek. You've come a long way from the scared and angry young boy you were when I first met you."

"Th-Thanks Ms. Walker. I can't believe it m-myself. I never thought I'd g-get better than what I w-was."

The therapist handed Tweek his prescription papers and then stood up and walked to her desk where she pulled up a green gift bag. "Now, I know that I've mentioned I think you'd benefit more from just coming every other week than every week, so since you came this week, I'm giving you your birthday present this time since you'll miss your birthday week. Happy early Birthday!"

Tweek took the bag from the woman and smiled as he looked at the various flavors of teas and coffee that were in the bag.

"It was hard to think of something you'd enjoy but I know you mentioned you got a Keurig and I know how much you love your tea and coffee."

"Th-This is awesome Ms. Walker! Thank you! Craig might h-hog the tea ones since he's a t-tea and hot chocolate fanatic, but at least the c-coffee's all mine."

Mr. Walker smiled. "You really think a lot of Craig since he moved in, don't you? One of these days, you'll have to bring him in so I can meet him. He's very important to you I can tell."

The blond blushed and looked away. "Yeah…he's like, m-my best friend."

"Sounds like a bit more than that. So, you two have plans for Halloween tomorrow? And your birthday next week?"

Tweek nodded. "P-Probably just my group hanging o-out for my birthday, but tomorrow, there's a costume c-contest at school and then we're going Trick or T-Treating."

The woman grinned. "I have GOT to see this then! You know where I live so you better come and ask for candy. And tell you what, I'll even upgrade the candy to full size if you come."

Tweek giggled and nodded. "Clyde is gonna c-cry all over you then. That's his ONE g-goal this Halloween. G-Getting full size candy."


Craig looked at Tweek's prescription bottles and frowned. "Hey Tweek, I think the pharmacist messed up and gave us your dad's medication instead. We need to go back and tell him about his mix-up."

"But d-dad doesn't take any medicine…well p-prescription anyway. Let me see."

The noirette handed Tweek his medicine bag and the blond looked at the label. "No… It's all right. This is my m-medicine."

"But it says Richard Tweak on the bottle. That's your dad, not you dude."

Tweek snorted and shook his head. "Oh my g-god Craig! That's… In all the time y-you've known me, you didn't REALLY think m-my first name was actually Tweek, d-did you? It's a nickname."

"What?"

The blond stopped walking when he noticed Craig wasn't beside him and turned around to see the black haired teen staring at him incredulously. "Craig?"

"When were you going to tell me your real name wasn't Tweek? That's like…dude… Everything I know is a lie. I'm not a Tucker. You're not Tweek. What if Streak is actually my father!?"

"Craig… S-Streak can't be your father. She's f-female and a guinea pig. And I r-really thought you already saw m-my prescription bottles with my actual n-name on them."

Craig shook his head. "Really didn't pay attention to that, come to think of it. I guess I should have since I help you with your pills. So…you're actually a Richard?"

Tweek nodded. "Richard Vincent Tweak is m-my full name, but I wasn't able to s-spell or write Richard when I was little s-so I only put my last name on my school p-papers. The teachers got mad I o-only put my last name so I s-started putting it twice but put t-two e's instead of an a. It just w-was easier for me and others to r-remember. The only p-people that call me any variation of Richard is m-my uncle Robert's family."

"So… If I were to call you-"

"Call me anything b-but Tweek and I'm not s-sleeping with you tonight."

The blond stopped and grew wide-eyed as a blush formed across his face. "Gah! I mean… Fuck!"

Craig smirked. "I'm confused. You're not gonna sleep with me or you're not gonna fuck me? I'm getting mixed messages… Dick."

"You ass!"

The noirette began laughing as Tweek grabbed him and shook him and hitting him in the arm a few times. After Tweek had calmed down, Craig ruffled the blond's hair. "Well, now that that's over, we should really get to the mall. Token texted me and said that the amount of blue body paint I got won't be enough and we need extra hold hairspray to keep your hair in the shape we need, especially since we're going to school in our costumes AND going candy snatching the same day."

"St-Still spending the night at Token's, r-right? Oh! And my therapist w-wants us to come by her house t-tomorrow night. She said she'll upgrade us t-to full size candy if we come b-by."

"Yep. We'll have to get up super early to get prepared, but at least Token will drive us to school so our costumes won't get torn and stuff. Butters said he can get his costume on without help and all Kenny needs is help with his wig. I'm so excited. We better win the contest! And score on the full size! Just tell us where she lives and we'll go!"


"This was a horrible idea! Why did I let you talk me into this!? I've been cold all day! Why am I the only one that had to wear a dress!?"

Craig was pretty sure Token was rolling his eyes at him, but couldn't tell because of the shades the teen was wearing over his eyes. Tweek giggled to the left of him and the normally black haired but now temporarily dyed blue haired teen groaned.

"Craig, it's n-not that bad! Kenny's wearing a skirt. And you look really n-nice in a dress."

"But at least HE got to have shorts underneath! I've got nothing but my blue bare legs!"

"I s-still can't believe you actually SHAVED y-your legs for this! They're so smooth! I can't w-wait to rub my feet on them t-tonight!"

Craig looked at the grinning blond and glared, resisting the temptation to ruffle the blonds perfectly spiked hair since they had spent thirty minutes getting it into the perfect triangular shape. "You're wearing socks when you do it because you got some cold ass feet Tweek!"

Token chuckled and shook his head. "Speaking of asses, I'm really glad Nichole likes what she sees. She's slapped my ass like five times in the hallways between classes. These tights are doing wonders for my love life."

Clyde groaned beside Token as he ate a muffin, trying not to get crumbs in the long lavender wig he was wearing. "I'm sooooo alone! All I have are these wonderful muffins Tweek has graced me with! At least they'll never leave me!"

Token patted the purple skinned boy's shoulder. "All joking aside, we've got some pretty accurate costumes, especially since I definitely can tell that some of the Star Wars costumers store bought their costumes. And some of the Undertale kids REALLY don't know how to seal their makeup. There are at LEAST three people with Jon Snow costumes, the Goths don't give a shit, and the Vampire Kids are just themselves."

"Hey Gems!"

The group turned to see Kenny waltz up to them, his feet gracefully gliding across the lunchroom as he made his way to the group. "You guys look great! Craig…did you shave your legs? And damn Token! That's all your real hair, right?"

Craig growled as Token nodded and looked around the lunchroom, trying to spot the last member of their group. "Speaking of Crystal Gems…where's the titular star of our group?"

Kenny chuckled and rocked on his feet. "Well…"Steven" is uh…helping another member of our group get ready… They'll be here in a minute."

Tweek smiled as he looked up at Kenny. "Wow! Butters g-got someone else to join our costume g-group? We'll be near guaranteed to w-win with the more Gems w-we have. Who is it?"

"Hey fellas!"

The group turned to the lunchroom entrance as Butters, dressed in full Steven Universe garb, came running up to them. A second later, a person wearing a long white and pink layered dress with a star cut out in the middle with a long pink ringletted wig came walking through the door. The group stared in shock and the entire lunchroom grew silent as the person in the Rose Quartz costume walked up to the group.

The group turned to each other before staring at "Rose Quartz" again.

"CARTMAN!?"

Cartman glared at the group. "Ey! You don't have to shout!"

Craig stared incredulously. "Butters! How the fuck did you get Cartman to dress up with us!?"

Butters grinned. "Aw, it was easy! Eric helped me put together my costume since this is one of his old shirts and asked who everyone was since he watches the show. And he found out we didn't have a Rose, so here we are!"

Cartman rolled his eyes. "Plus the fact Stan's Game of Thrones group wanted me to be Hodor, Kahl's Star Wars group wanted me to be Jabba the Hut, and Wendy's Undertale group wanted me to be Onion-San and I said fuck that to all of them. If I'm gonna be part of a costume group, I'm gonna be someone important. And I wanna fucking win! Seriously."

Kenny, Butters, and Cartman sat down at the table, ignoring the glares from the other main costume groups, especially the ones given by Stan, Kyle, and Wendy.

Tweek smiled as he looked around. "I c-can't believe we almost have a full g-group cosplay. Too bad we didn't h-have a Jasper though."


"This isn't fair! This isn't fucking fair! This is all Cartman's fault, I just know it!"

PC Principal looked over at the sea of angry teens as the winning costume group made their way up. "Now "Kyle" Ren, the faculty all judged each costume group fairly and accurately. The Steven Universe group has most of the main Gem cast accounted for and their costumes are the most accurate of the ones we've judged. It's only fair that they won."

The teens each received the overflowing buckets of candy as Cartman sauntered over to their principal. "And might I say PC Principal, your Jasper costume is amazing! Really brings out the strong and powerful nature of her character."

"Thank you Eric! Now see everyone! They've even got the personalities down. If you hadn't already won, I'd give you another point for that!"

Token sighed and rubbed his eyes under his shades. "Should we be insulted that Kyle and Cartman are making us winning into one of their daily fights?"

Craig looked at Token and back to his bucket of candy. "I don't fucking care. I'm still in shock Cartman actually watches the show AND put together an accurate Rose costume in less than a week. And we won, so that's all that matters."


It had been a successful candy haul as Craig and Tweek, both freshly showered and in their sleep clothes, dumped their earnings from that night as well as the candy they won on Craig's bed to sift through it. Only Tweek's therapist had given the boys full size candy but she made sure to make it worth it to come and gave them several bars each. Clyde did indeed cry and Tweek could tell it was taking all of Ms. Walker's willpower to not go into therapist mode on the teen.

Tweek glared at the reject pile in disgust. "Ugh, who in their r-right mind gives kids r-raisins? Gross."

"The same kind of people that tried to give us those damn Member Berries. I am NOT eating anything with an actual face on it. Especially since they fucking TALK. At least the toothpaste and toothbrush is practical. I got three sets. We won't have to buy some for at least two weeks."

Tweek looked wide-eyed at the noirette. "Oh god! I just thought o-of the same thing! Oh…Oh god! We've become a-adults!"

Craig snorted as he fell on his pillows. "We have! Or at least me! You've still got another week and a half left before you join the Old Man's Club! Be prepared to actually WANT socks and underwear for Christmas."

"Nooooo! I d-don't want to be a grandpa like y-you!"

"Dick!"

The smirk Craig gave the blond confirmed he was calling him by his real name's nickname. Tweek glared at the noirette. "That's it! Candy fight!"

Tweek grabbed a handful of candy and threw it at Craig, who laughed and grabbed a handful of his own and quickly grabbed the blond and shoved it all down the hole of his shirt.

The blond squirmed and threw more candy, beginning to laugh as well, grateful that Streak was in an equally eloquent cage setup in his room after his mom fell in love with her "Granddaughter" and helped buy another cage so the two teens wouldn't have to leave Streak alone when they slept in his room. Several pieces of candy were landing in her cage and they would have to get them out before bringing the guinea pig back in when they went to bed.

Craig went to grab more candy, but Tweek grabbed the noirette around his stomach and pushed him back, laying on the candy. His hand had accidentally brushed against Craig's bare legs as he had grabbed him and Tweek put his hand back, running it across the smoothness.

"You r-really do have some smooth l-legs Craig. So soft."

"I'm glad you're in love with my legs Tweek. Hopefully you love the rest of me."

"I do love th-the rest of you Craig. I really do."

Tweek snuggled up to Craig, laying his head down on the noirette's chest. "Craig… I know y-you probably already h-have my birthday present planned o-out, but I have a specific gift I w-want you to give me."

Craig ran his fingers through the blond's hair, inhaling the honey scent of Tweek's shampoo and the constant cinnamon coffee smell that lingered with the teen. "What is it Tweek?"

"I w-want you to confess y-your crush on me."

Craig stood still as he processed what Tweek had said. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure Craig."

Tweek scooted up and placed a kiss on Craig's lips. "I'm very sure."
