Chapter Six: The Halloween Dance

~(^.^)~

Six weeks later, Halloween night

Jessie groaned as her mom applied white eyeshadow to her eyelids.

"Mom! Come on, I'm gonna miss the dance at this rate!" Jessie complained.

The woman scoffed and shook her head.

"Don't be dramatic Jessie, the dance doesn't start for another 30 minutes. Besides I'm all done," Laura stated, putting down the eyeshadow pallet.

"Finally, feels like I've been sitting her forever!" Jessie groused, standing up.

"Oh hush, now take a look at my masterpiece," Laura ordered, pulling Jessie to the mirror in the corner of the room.

Jessie stared at her reflection in awe. Her mom had forced her to dress up as an angel for the school Halloween dance. At first she didn't want to, but her mom was persistent. And now she was starting to like it. She looked pretty damn good! The white dress she wore came down just below her knees and had long flowy white sleeves, and she had on a pair of white ballet flats. A pair of small fluffy white angel wings rested between her shoulder blades.

Her mom had braided the sides of her hair back away from her face. What was left down had been feathered slightly, and little white flowers had been woven throughout her hair. A small plastic gold halo had been set on top of her head, completing the angel look.

Her mom hadn't put to much makeup on her. A little bit of blush, a small amount of white eyeshadow. A thin line of eyeliner, and light pink lipstick. But it was enough to make her look even prettier than she usually did.

"Thanks mom," Jessie gushed, turning and hugging her mom.

"You're welcome sweetie. Have fun tonight," Laura whispered, kissing the side of Jessie's head.

"I will," Jessie replied, rushing out of her room.

"And Johnny's taking you tonight!" Laura shouted after her.

Jessie paused for a moment and groaned. Her and Johnny hadn't really spoken the past couple weeks. Not since she'd dumped milk on his head at lunch. Johnny had tried to make it up to her. He bought her a bouquet of her favorite flowers, Azaleas, and had apologized to her. She appreciated the thought, and that he was trying to make it up to her. But she'd told him it wasn't her he needed to apologize to, and he absolutely refused to apologize to Daniel. And she had nothing to say to him until he did.

She missed hanging out with her twin. But she wasn't going to just let him get away with being mean to her friend. She wasn't going to let him get away with being a jerk to people.

Jessie sighed, and made her way over to her brother's room. She knocked on the door, and after a moment it opened to reveal her brother dressed as a skeleton.

"Mom says your taking me to the dance," Jessie stated.

Johnny nodded his head at this. He disappeared into his room for a moment, then reappeared with his Walkman in hand. The two were silent the whole ride to the dance. The second they pulled up to the school Jessie took off inside. It didn't take her long to find Ali and the rest of her friends.

"Hey Jessie, wow you look gorgeous!" Susan exclaimed, smiling at her.

Jessie blushed at her friends compliment. The girls all hung out, dancing and talking, and just having a great time. On several occasions the group of girls ran into the group of skeletons, but each group just ignored each other.

The dance was halfway over, and Jessie was starting to think that Daniel wasn't going to show up at all. She'd been looking for him all night but had yet to see him. Actually she hadn't seen him since that disastrous lunch. And to be honest she really missed talking to him.

"Hey, there's Daniel," Ali exclaimed suddenly.

Jessie's head snapped over to her, and she followed her gaze to see someone dressed as a shower on the other side of the room. She instantly knew, just like Ali, that that was Daniel, even though she couldn't actually see him.

"How can you tell?" Susan asked, frowning in confusion.

"I just can. I'll be right back," Ali stated, pulling the flower off of Susan's costume.

Jessie watched her walk over to Daniel, ignoring her two friends as they talked about Ali and Daniel. She watched as Ali disappeared behind the shower curtain, and she sighed. She'd give them a minute or two to dance together before she went over to say hi.

"Just what do the two of you see in that boy?" Susan questioned, nudging Jessie's shoulder.

Jessie glanced over at her for a moment, before looking back towards the swaying shower curtain.

"He's cute. And he's nice," Jessie replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"Oh please," Susan muttered, rolling her eyes.

Jessie didn't notice as she'd started walking towards the swaying shower curtain. She reached her two friends just as Daniel opened up the curtain.

"Hey Daniel!" Jessie greeted, stopping next to him.

His eyes went wide at the sight of her. He'd thought Ali had been pretty in her costume, but Jessie was downright beautiful!

"Ugh, hey Jessie," He finally managed to stutter after a moment.

Jessie felt her face go red at the look on Daniel's face, but she didn't have the chance to say anything as a kid dressed as a chicken started moving through the room tossing eggs on people's heads.

"Hey, he's using real eggs," Ali proclaimed, laughing.

The chicken made his way over to them and tossed an egg on Daniel's head. Ali and Jessie both giggled at the look on Daniel's face. Egg yolk dripped from his hair and down his face.

"I'll be right back," Daniel said, making his way towards the bathroom.

Ali and Jessie just giggled again.

"He's absolutely adorable," Ali whispered, smiling.

"Yeah he is," Jessie agreed.

The two stood there together for a few minutes, whispering and giggling to each other about Daniel. Suddenly there was a shout from the bathroom, and both girls swung their heads towards the direction of the sound. Jessie watched as Daniel came bolting out of the bathroom and right past the Cobra Kai boys who were standing by the bathroom door.

There was another shout from inside the bathroom, and Johnny came running out. His hair was soaked, and plastered across his face, but somehow his skeleton makeup wasn't smeared at all. Jessie had a good idea as to what had happened, and she groaned.

'Oh this was not going to end well! Damnit Daniel, why'd you have to go and dump water on Johnny's head?' Jessie thought.

"Daniel what's going on?" Ali questioned as Daniel ran towards them.

"It's coming back around!" Daniel stated, passing off the shower head part of his costume to Ali.

He raced passed the two girls, with Johnny and the gang hot on his heels. As Johnny passed them Ali used the shower head to hook Johnny's leg, tripping him. His gang of friends tripped over him, and all of them fell to the floor. But they only stayed down for a moment before they were all back up on their feet and chasing after Daniel.

"I'm going after them," Jessie shouted, rushing away from Ali before the girl could stop her.

Ali knew her brother, and she knew this was going to end very badly. He was going to beat the shit out of Daniel. She raced out of the school, only a few feet behind her brother and his friends. She raced passed the group of crashed cars out front, following them down several streets. She had a little trouble getting over the fence that Daniel and the rest of the boys had scaled, thanks to the dress she was wearing.

But once she was over it she started racing across the field. She caught up to the group of boys just as Johnny and Dutch pulled Daniel off the second fence he'd been trying to climb. Before she could stop him Johnny had punched Daniel in the stomach twice.

"Stop it!" She screamed, barreling into her brother knocking both of them to the ground.

Suddenly she was being yanked up off the ground and pulled away from the fight. She glanced back to see that it was Tommy who had a hold of her. She turned back towards Daniel at the sound of a pained yelp. She struggled in Tommy's arms trying to stop the fight as Johnny punched Daniel again.

"Leave him alone!" Jessie shouted, tears racing down her face.

But Johnny ignored her and kicked Daniel in the face. Daniel crumpled to the ground, but Johnny hauled him up by his collar.

"You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, you little twerp. And now you're going to pay for it," Johnny shouted, punching Daniel once more.

Daniel couldn't even stand on his own anymore. Everything hurt, and he could barely even focus on what was around him. But he could hear Jessie shouting and crying.

"Get him up," Johnny ordered.

Dutch hauled Daniel up and held him in place waiting for Johnny to kick him. Jessie was practically hysterical now. They where going to kill Daniel and there was nothing she could do to stop them. Bobby felt guilt eat away at him at the sight of Daniel barely able to stand and Jessie sobbing.

"Come on man, he's had it!" Bobby shouted, moving towards Johnny.

"A man faces you; he is your enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy," Johnny growled.

"Come on, he can't even stand up. He's had enough," Bobby stated.

"I'll say when he's had enough!" Johnny shouted.

"Johnny stop it!" Jessie screamed, trying once more to pull away from Tommy.

Johnny glanced over at her for a second. He paused for a moment at the sight of her. Her eyeliner had run down her face from her tears, her dress had a small rip from climbing over the fence, and her eyes were red from crying. The worst part was how wide and terrified her eyes were as she looked at him.

She was terrified… of him. That hurt. He scowled and turned his focus back on Daniel. If the punk hadn't provoked him none of this would have happened and his sister wouldn't be scared of him. He stepped back then ran towards Daniel and jumped in the air, ready to kick him in the face. But at the last second a figure appeared and pushed Daniel out of the way causing Johnny to kick a sign on the fence behind the spot where Daniel had been a moment ago.

Suddenly Tommy shoved her to the side and raced at the figure that had appeared and saved Daniel from getting kicked in the face. Jessie ignored the fight going on around her, and instead raced over to Daniel who was lying on the ground. She kneeled next to him and pulled his head into her lap. Jessie sniffled as she gently ran her fingers through his hair. One of his eyes was already turning black, and he was breathing funny.

Daniel was only half conscious, and everything was blurry. But he could see Jessie staring down at him, tears in her eyes. Even with puffy red eyes, and eyeliner running down her face from crying, she was still beautiful. He glanced sideways at the sound of fighting and saw a figure beating up the Cobra Kai boys. Then his eyes rolled back into his head and he passed out.

After a moment everything went quiet and Jessie glanced up. All the Cobra Kai boys where lying on the ground groaning in pain, and an older Asian man was standing in the middle of them. He stood there for a second, making sure that they stayed down, before turning and rushing over to Jessie and Daniel.

"Daniel-san!" The man exclaimed, kneeling down next to the two teens.

He gently patted Daniel face trying to wake him up. But it was no use, Daniel was out cold.

"Can you help him?" Jessie asked, her voice a whisper.

"Aye," The man stated, nodding his head.

He gently pulled Daniel out of her arms and up onto his shoulder. He carried Daniel over to the fence, and quickly unlatched it. Jessie glanced back at the fallen figures of her brother and his friends. She felt a small spike of worry for her brother who was lying on the ground groaning in pain. She shook her head and turned back to follow the mystery man who had Daniel.

Her brother deserved to get his ass kicked for what he did. And she knew he'd be fine. Daniel on the other hand, she wasn't sure would be okay. So Jessie followed the old man into a small maintenance room at the back of what she assumed was Daniel's apartment building…
