A/N: Happy Day of the Dead everyone, I originally planned to post this on Halloween but time was not on my side, instead I'm posting this on El Día De Los Muertos, which for us Mexicans serve to honor the dead on November 1st and 2nd.
This chapter hardly has anything to do with my country's spiritual holiday but I wasn't about to wait another whole year just to post a Halloween theme idea now was I? Especially after working extremely hard on it.
So ... Enjoy the craziness bellow.
A sleek motorcycle entered the West property.
"Well... I made it, and with time to spare."
The driver parked the vehicle near the front lawn of the house, taking off the helmet afterwards, revealing a young; beautiful teenager, who couldn't help but stare at the imposing residence that was the West household.
"Here we go again." Emily muttered "Come on girl, you got this!"
No matter how many times she's been here, the blonde would always feel intimated when she'd set foot in her boyfriend's place but not by Tony himself but rather by another resident of the house.
"If there's any luck on my side, Tony will answer the door and maybe this time I'll be able to convince him to for a spin on my ride." Emily thought as she was about to send a text message telling him of her arrival but unfortunately, luck wasn't on her side as the front door opened to reveal the one person the teen was trying to avoid.
Victoria West... Who by the way was giving her the evil eye, made the girl feel self-conscious under the older woman's scrutiny.
Emily wore a skin tight black outfit that didn't leave too much to the imagination, so she discretely lifted her zipper as it revealed a bit too much skin, there was no doubt in her mind that Tony would have loved it, however she wasn't expecting the wrong West to get a first good, close look of her costume, she even dyed her hair red as well as getting some cheap boots and belt to complete her look as Natasha Romanoff.
On her part, Tori was reminiscing of her celebrity crush when she was younger, which coincidentally was Scarlett Johansson (much to her wife's chagrin and jealousy) back then, she also remembered drooling at the sight of Jade dressing up as Black Widow that one Halloween in days long past.
"Guess like Mama, like son."
"Um... Hi Mrs. West." Emily waved nervously "Happy Halloween?"
"You're here to pick up Anthony?"
"Yes Ma'am."
"You're a little early, aren't you?" Tori asked curtly "Doesn't the Halloween party you two were invited to starts around six?"
"Yeah... That's right Mrs. West." Emily nodded "But Tony asked me to come two hours early."
"How come?"
"Your guess is as good as mine."
Before the tanned woman could ask anything else, Jade came running down the stairs "Vega, I'll be right back."
"It's West!" Tori snapped "And where are you going at this hour?"
"I told you, I have to pick up some stuff before the annual Haunted House." Jade said with a cruel smirk "It's payback time."
"But Tawny and Lukas are bringing Matt in a few hours so we can all take him trick or treating!" Tori exclaimed "You don't want to miss our grandson's first Halloween experience, right?"
"Like hell I do!" The Thespian snapped "I promise I'll be back in time to get into our costumes and take Matt on a Candy Rush Bonanza ... But those damn judges must pay!"
"Um.. Correct me if I'm wrong Mrs. West but weren't you banned for life from the neighborhood Halloween competition after what happened last year?" Emily asked unsurely "You were all over the news, I don't think that everyone will forget that you sent like two hundred children to therapy anytime soon, I mean they're kinda scarred for the rest of their days."
"It's not my fault kids these days are weenies." Jade sneered, her smile growing creepily... Which only made the young girl feel even more worried.
"You have something planned... Don't you?"
"Let's just say I found a way to make those stuck up judges regret not seeing my full creative genius." The former Goth chuckled evilly. "Rest assure, vengeance will be mine!"
Emily gazed at the other woman tentatively, Tori shrugs "She's been plotting this for almost a year."
"I have a bad feeling about this." Emily thought, quickly deciding that the best course of action was to get her boyfriend out of the house before all hell broke loose. "So, is Anthony in his room?"
"He is." Jade confirmed, grabbing her son's car keys "Since you're going up there Donovan, tell him I'm taking his car, I have to remain incognito or else people will get suspicious on me going around getting stuff for the horror that I'll unleash upon them tonight."
"Shouldn't you be wearing a disguise then, baby?"
Wait for it." The thespian replied, lifting a facemask from her neck that covered the lowered half of her face as well as some dark glasses and a red hat. "People will think I'm just some weirdo crackhead and stay the hell away from me."
"No offence Mrs. West but no one is that stupid to not see through that terrible disguise and this is coming from a blonde... Well currently a redhead but a blonde nonetheless!"
As if by fate provided to prove her wrong, Cat came through the front door, she was wearing a blue sash with the word Judge in big bold black letters "Hey Tori!" She greeted happily.
"Hi Cat."
"Oh, I didn't know you had company!" The former redhead gazed at her masked friend "I'm Cat! Who are you?"
"I'm Ja.. Jay." Jade lied hoarsely. "Don't get near me... I think I'm getting down with something."
"Aww that's too bad." She cooed "Want a hug to make you feel better?"
"NO!"
"You sure?" Cat asked, lifting her arms in an inviting gesture "I always give nice hugs."
Before Jade would murder their friend, her wife intervened, "Are you one of the Judges Cat?" Tori inquired, confused. "Since when are you into scary stuff?"
"HUH?" She asked "Oh this? No, I liked the sash because it was so pretty but the neighborhood comity didn't have any extras and one of the Judges was so nice to gimme one in exchange for going far away from them and reminding Jade of their restraining order against her."
"I'll be sure to wire her the message."
"Okey Doky!" Cat cheered "By the way, where is Jade?"
"She can't be that stupid." Emily thought, dumbfounded. "Can she?"
"I think she went for a drive." Tori said with a pathetic smile while Jade slapped her own forehead in frustration.
"My wife can't lie for shit."
"Aww." Cat said disappointed "I was hoping that she would take me out for a walk."
"Take you out for a... Walk?"
"Uh huh Tori!" She said enthusiastically "I even brought my own leash and everything!"
"Erm, Cat, no offense but don't you think you're a little old to still be playing ´puppy time´?"
Cat whined, giving out a sad puppy dog pout for further effect.
The Pale woman sighs aggravated, looking at her phone "Guess I can play with her for a while." Taking off her disguise while her best friend was still pouting, Jade grabbed the collar and the leash Cat brought. "Who wants to go out for a walk?"
"Jadey!" The former redhead happily hugged her friend "When did you arrived?"
"Just now." She grouched "So you want to go out for a walk or not? I have other things to do you know."
Cat got on all fours, panting excitedly, Jade silently puts the collar and the leash around her neck.
"Uhh... isn't that... MASSIVELY... strange?" Emily questioned.
"For anyone else? Yeah, for Cat? Nope." The Thespian shrugs "She always wanted a puppy since she was a little girl, but since her parents always told her no, she started to pretend she was one, and usually dragged me along for the ride one way or another."
"That's just plain weird."
"Yeah, no shit Sherlock."
"Now I'm not psychologist but I think it has something to do with her folks leaving her behind while they cared for her brother." Tori theorized "either that or she really is a pet."
Cat began to yank on her leash, barking while doing so, telling Jade that she wanted her walk now.
"Might as well kill two birds with one stone." Jade mused, she puts two fingers in her mouth and whistled "Foxy!"
The silver fox heard one of his owners call him, getting up from his pillow on the floor, he barked and ran towards the front door. "Good boy." Jade scratched his head affectionately before putting a leash on his collar.
While no one was looking, a black cat walked down the sidewalk, both Cat and Foxy saw it, growling at it with contempt, the feline hissed back.
"Cat... Foxy... Don't even think..."
Too late, both "pets" ran after the cat, dragging Jade along since she was still holding onto the leashes.
Jade left the house with a yelp, managing to close the door on the way out, leaving Emily alone with Tori... Whose evil eye came back... Ten-fold.
It was ironic that the mother who wasn't a psycho scared her a lot more than the one who was.
"I'll go see if Tony's ready." Emily said nervously, walking away from the older woman but Tori swiftly yanked her back. "Or I can stay here?"
"Listen to me Donovan." The Latina growled, her eyes narrowing dangerously "You may have won over my wife and son, but you aren't fooling me... I'm keeping an eye on you."
"I'm sorry?"
"Don't play dumb with me, kid." Tori said coldly "I've come across some real nasty gold diggers who only wanted to befriend Anthony because of who his family is, I don't want him to go through that pain again, so let me be perfectly clear, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt for the time being, but if I were to find out that you used my son for whatever selfish reasons, I'll destroy you... I may not be as evil or merciless as my darling wife when it comes to the cruel and unusual punishment, but when someone messes with my baby boy? You'll be surprise what I'm capable of, so heed my warning, if you ever cause Tony any unhappiness of any kind then you better start sleeping with one eye open... GOT IT?!"
"Sure thing." Emily gulped. "Mrs. West."
"Perfect and one last thing."
"Yeah?"
"This conversation? Never happened."
"Yeah... I mean No!... I mean..."
"You got the message." Tori snapped "Didn't you?"
The teen nodded.
"Then we're good." Tori's face morphed from a scowl to a coy smile, pinching the girl's cheek afterwards "Tony's up in his room getting ready for the Halloween party, go right ahead but the door remains open." She then got her phone out of her pocket and press speed dial "Robbie? It's me... You might want to wait a bit for Cat to arrive home... Jade took her out for a walk... Yeah ... Puppy time..."
"What just happened?" Emily wondered.
ping.
The blonde got her phone out at the sound of the alert, she just received a few messages from her boyfriend.
"Speak of the devil."
A- Where are you Emily?
A- You were supposed to be here at 4, it's now 4: 30.
A- Are you ok?
A- Come on Em, talk to me, you're freaking me out.
A- If this is supposed to be some sort of joke, it's not funny.
Emily rolled her eyes and typed back.
E- You're such a girl.
A- Funny you should say that, :)
Emily raised an eyebrow "What other weird shit could happen today?"
E- What do you mean by that?
A- Come up to my room and see, XD.
E- I'm already on your living room, I was going to sent you a text to open the door but your parents beat you to it.
A- Oh boy, what did my mom say to you?
E- Your MAMA loves you very much, she told me that much.
A- Okay?
E- Forget it, I'll go up and see your costume and you'll see mine.
A- Prepare to be amazed!
E- You Dork.
A- My costume will beat yours Em!
E- We'll see West, we'll see.
Once the teen opened Tony's bedroom door, she froze at the sight before her.
There was a girl resting on her boyfriend's bed, using his phone; Emily didn't know who this person was or why she was here, but the redhead felt a torrent of emotions from rage, to jealousy to betrayal.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" She bellowed angrily "And where is my soon to be ex-boyfriend so I can kick his lying ass!"
The stranger simply grinned, getting up from the bed, he asked "Em, I'm a little hurt, don't you recognize me?"
Emily was slack jawed, she'd know that voice anywhere. "What the... Tony?"
"The one and only." He replied cheekily. "Guess my costume worked like a charm, huh?"
To say Emily was aghast was quite the overstatement to say the least, his costume was hardly unique but at the same time it sorts of was since it was not meant for his gender.
She was about to close the door, thinking they might need some privacy as well as getting an explanation, which soon was proven to be a huge mistake.
"I SAID THAT DOOR REMAINS OPEN!" Tori bellowed "Don't make me come up there!"
"Eep!" Emily yelps before opening the door "How did she do that?"
"Beats the hell out of me." Tony shrugs, looking at his girlfriend from where he was standing, nodding approvingly at her choice in costume for the evening to come "So, Black Widow eh? Nice."
"Thanks, and you..." Emily tried to say the appropriate word "You look... wonderful?"
"You really think so?" He asked while doing a twirl, so his girlfriend would have a full view of his costume "You think I pulled it off?"
"Let me answer your question with another, how can my boyfriend make a better girl than me?" She retorted "Seriously, I was about to knock you out when I thought you were some random skank you might have been seeing behind my back!"
"I don't know whether I should take the compliment that I did a good job on my costume or be offended that you would think I'd cheat on you."
"You're right... I'm sorry." Emily apologized "I know you would never do that to me, especially since you're true blue … Its just... I saw what I thought was a good-looking girl on your bed... What was I supposed to think? It's not every day I see a pretty convincing Wonder Woman cosplayer!"
"You gotta thank the corset for that one." Anthony chuckled sheepishly "Although from all the work I put in getting into this thing, I say that's the lesser of all evils."
Emily looked at his lower part of anatomy. "How exactly did you hide your...?"
"Let's just say I used a lot of duct tape and keep it at that."
"And your erm… rack?"
"SendEx."
"Nice boots."
"They're killing me!"
"Well, no one ever said that being a woman was easy."
"I'm beginning to feel that."
"Well, at any rate, you look... Pretty."
"Need I remind you that I have two moms and two older sisters, Em?" Tony asked rhetorically "You see them apply make-up and whatnot every other day, you're bound to pick up a few things along the way."
Without another word, Emily took a step closer to her boyfriend, putting a lock of the wig hair behind his ear in order to have a better look of his features, then she raised his hand to her lips, kissing it gently which in turn made Tony blush.
"I have a little something for you."
"Oh?" Tony asked "And what would that be?"
"Closed your eyes."
"So, you can pull a prank on me?" He askes suspiciously. "I don't think so!"
"We're dating you dork."
"Since when has that stopped you?"
"Ok... Point taken." Emily acknowledged "But I promise you'll like this, so just close them and no peeking."
Tony shut his eyes.
"You can open them now."
"What am I supposed to... Oh, Great Hera!"
Emily rolled her eyes, knowing full well that Tony was a fan of Wonder Woman, she just didn't know how big until now... Still, a few weeks ago when she was at the mall she unexpectedly found a WW choker that was on sale, so she figured "what the hell?" and bought it on the spot just to help add to her boyfriend's superhero collectables as she nicely put it. Unfortunately after one bad day, the couple wished they could forget; they got on each other's nerves to the point where it resulted in quite a nasty fight, things were said that put a strain in their relationship.
Unsurprisingly as a result both teenagers avoided each other for several weeks, the choker was left in her room to collect dust... Abandoned until the day when they of course made up. They don't remember who apologized first or why they were arguing in the first place but in the end, it didn't matter; all was right with the world again, Emily once more kept the necklace in the back of her mind (and backpack), waiting for the right time to hand it over.
So, when she saw Tony dressed as he was, she thought the time was not only perfect but comically coincidental.
"You had this the entire time, Em?"
"Long story, I'll tell you later."
"Can... Can you put it on me?"
"Sure, why not?"
Tony turned around so Emily could get to it, she moved the wig hair out of the way and puts the choker around his neck.
"There, all done."
He looked himself in the mirror before asking "How do I look?"
Emily finally got a closer look of his costume, checking him out from head to toe. Tony wore a long dark wavy wig, she also noticed the tiara that Wonder Woman wore in every incarnation, some bracelets which snugly fitted around his forearms, as well as the WW choker she just gave him, the breastplate had a W layered into the eagle design on his chest, she took noticed of "padded breast" and was surprised how realistic they appeared.
"Hey, my eyes are up here." Tony teased.
"And so are mine." She retorted "You're not the only one whose getting some attention."
He blushed "Busted."
The lower she moved her eyes, she realized his hips were in fact curvy, most likely because of the corset he claimed to be wearing underneath, the top of the armor resembled a metallic red leotard while the bottom was a blue gladiator skirt, he was also wearing a golden belt with the W logo and last but not least was wearing a pair of red and white knee length high heel boots.
"So... Wonder Woman..." Emily teased "Was it hard to shave your legs?"
"It was a nightmare!" Tony whined "Having to borrow my mom's paper strips was embarrassing enough but then I had to wax my legs and rip the damn papers off like a band-aid over and over? It was pure agony!"
"You do realize you could have just shaved your legs with a razor, right?"
"Now you tell me!" Tony snapped. "How can women do this so often?"
"You're asking the wrong gal." Emily shrugged "I never shaved my legs in my life."
"I don't believe that."
"I have two dads you idiot, so of course no one was around to teach me!" She snapped "Why do you think I never wear skirts or dresses! I don't want people to stare at my hairy legs and start calling me a sasquatch or some shit." she finished her ranting as she stared down at her boyfriend's bare legs "Unless..."
"Unless what?" He asked, not liking the twinkle in Emily's eyes.
"You teach me."
"Say what?!"
"Come on West, it's obvious you know how to shave, teach me!" Emily ordered "I'm tired of wearing pants everywhere I go! I can't even go to the beach because my dads refuse to let me shave my legs!"
"Erm... I dunno Emily... I could get in a lot of trouble with your folks."
"Oh… I understand." She sighs dejectedly.
"No, Emily, don't do that."
"Do what?"
"That!" Tony snapped "You're gonna go all mopey just to guilt me into doing this!"
"I'm not doing anything you dolt." Emily whimpered "Stop being so paranoid," her eyes turning a bit watery "I just thought you might like to see a bit more of me."
He narrowed his eyes "You play dirty."
"Just imagine seeing me in a bikini... Wouldn't that be... exquisite?"
That did it, Tony grabbed his girlfriend's arm, dragging her towards the bathroom.
"You better have some pretty sexy legs."
Emily chuckled victoriously "He may be dressed like Wonder Woman, but he's still a teenage boy."
An hour later the redhead was inspecting her now hairless legs in front of a full length mirror.
And she wasn't the only one, thanks to the mirror Emily could see Tony not so discretely taking a peak at her body while pretending to read a comic.
"Dude, whoever taught you how to shave or wax or whatever is an artist!" She praised "But you were right, it hurt like hell!"
"That would be my Mom." Tony thought "I learned the hard, embarrassing way to never ask my mama to teach me anything related to facial hair."
Emily once more puts on the lower half of her outfit, there was no need to be private with Tony, after all he just helped her shave her legs, she knew he would never do anything inappropriate, because he was too much of a gentleman.
Although she couldn't exactly call him that seeing how he was dressed.
"So, princess?" She teased "Care to explain your choice in costume?"
"It seems like the obvious pick, Wonder Woman's my favorite superhero!" He replied in a heartbeat, pointing at the comic book cover for emphasis "She's a strong, independent woman who doesn't take shit from anyone or anything, she's willing to fight for those who can't fight for themselves! She doesn't discriminate, is pro-LGBT and has the right morals to boost, but most of all, she reminds me of my parents, who embodied all those principals and more!"
"That's a nice little speech and all, but Wonder Woman wouldn't hold a candle to me... Black Widow!"
"Are you kidding?!" Tony got up from his chair in disbelief "I am Diana of Themyscira, I'm an Amazonian princess." He proclaimed, putting his hands over his hips as he was getting in character "I been granted abilities beyond those of mortals."
"Ah, so you admit that you're a princess."
"Erm... I meant to say Amazonian warrior."
"Suuuuuuuure you did."
"I DID!"
"Whatever helps you sleep at night princess." Emily chuckled, amused by his high-pitched voice "But did doesn't change the fact that I'm a highly trained Russian spy and I could totally wipe the floor with you Wondy."
"As if!"
"Well, there's only one way to settle this... Come and get me Diana, that is unless you're afraid."
"Oh, I will." He growled. "And for the record, I'm not scared of anything, least of all you, Romanoff."
"Is that so?"
"Yes! That's so!"
"Then you're not about to freak out knowing there's a..." She paused momentarily for effect "Spider on your shoe."
"A... A... What?"
"A spider."
Tony let out a scream, jumping into Emily's waiting arms, holding onto her for dear life, frantically searching in all possible directions for the cursed arachnid.
"Where is it?!" He shrieked "I don't see it! kill it! Kill it!"
Once Tony heard her snickering, he knew he had been pranked.
"Oh yeah, you were so brave just now your highness." She teased "You made Wonder Woman's name proud."
Tony's only response? A glare not unlike that of his Mama Tori used, it was so eerily uncanny that it sent shivers down Emily's spine, making her recall the conversation she had with the older woman hours earlier. "Crap! I done it now."
Pushing himself out of her grasp, Tony crossed his arms indignantly over his padded chest, all the while continuing to give Emily the evil eye, she knew what was coming.
"The Silent treatment, Oy."
Tony took some steps back, putting a significant distance between them as if to say "leave me alone."
"Come on West! I was kidding!" She groaned annoyed "No harm done and you know that if there actually was a spider, I would have killed it for you."
He of course didn't accept the apology, if it can even be called that, choosing instead to pout and turn his back on her, which only served to aggravate Emily further, she knew the drill by now. "I swear, it's like I'm dating a girl... Fine, guess I know what I gotta do." taking the opportunity, she held him by his waist, Tony of course was not in the mood and tried to break free, only for Emily to use her "secret weapon."
"I love you." She sensually whispered in his ear.
Tony stopped struggling, he always turned to mush when his girlfriend used the L word.
"Aww." He gushed, putting both hands over his heart "I always knew that you did."
"Don't be such a girl." Emily groaned, before noticing her boyfriend's wide smile. "What?"
"Oh nothing." Tony replied sneakily "It's just, I know you're not lying, you love me."
"Keep it up and the answer will change."
"I doubt it."
"Oh yeah?" She challenged "What makes you so sure of that?"
Tony smugly raised her hand wrapped in the "lasso of truth."
"You dork." Emily said with an eye roll before getting in character once more. "Now that I have you in my grasp princess, are you prepare to surrender?"
"I'm a warrior." He shot back in mock anger "I'll never surrender to the likes of you, Natasha."
"What if I steal something from you then, Diana?"
"And what would that be?"
"A kiss."
"Say you love me again."
"No!"
"No kiss then."
"What part of I'll steal a kiss didn't you understand?"
"You'll have to catch me first!"
Tony broke free from her grasp, laughing as he made it out the door, only for him to clumsily fall on his face.
"Ow." He groaned, looking up as his girlfriend walked in front of him, looking down with a raised eyebrow.
"Word of advice." The boy said sheepishly "Don't run while wearing high heels."
"I could have told you that."
Before Tony could give a half-decent comeback, Emily spontaneously lifted him by his waist and twirled him around the room, much to his delight should his squeals be any indication.
Emily eventually set him down, proceeding by locking their lips in a passionate kiss, her arms holding him by his waist, while Tony moved his arms around her neck, raising his left leg up to make a right angle at the knee the more their kiss deepens.
They parted lips for a few seconds, both of them touching their foreheads, smiling lazily yet happily.
"For the record." Tony said breathlessly "I love you too."
"I know." She smirks "I'm awesome."
"Shut up and kiss me."
"Gladly."
"Nothing could ruin this moment." They thought blissfully.
Riiip.
Both teenagers stopped making out once they heard that sound, Emily felt something in her crotch.
"Erm, Tony?... I think your little friend wants to come out and play."
Anthony looked down and much to his embarrassment, someone "got up."
"Thank God I'm wearing underwear. " He thought while discretely putting a pillow over his crotch, but the damage had been done.
"So, Wonder Tony is that your sword?" She teased. "Or are you just happy to see me?"
"Just get me some more duct tape."
Meanwhile the West Matriarch arrived home.
"VEGA!"
Tori got her head out of the living room, already wearing her Xena The Warrior princess costume "Jade! Good! You're back! I just got off the phone with Tawny, she's bringing Matt in twenty minutes, you better start getting into your costume if you want to join in the festivities."
"I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!"
"And what would that be?"
"You plotted against me!" Jade accused, pointing an angry finger to her chest "You promised Cat bibble if she distracted me!"
"Where is Cat?" Tori asked, not seeing their friend anywhere "You didn't kill her, did you?"
"Trust me, it took a lot of my self-restraint to not break her neck." The Thespian hissed, her hands shaking in rage "I actually chained her in our front lawn."
The Half-Latina walked to the front door and true to her wife's words, Cat was chained to a post, biting the leash in an attempt to break free while Foxy sat in front of her, cocking his head to the side at the woman's actions.
She eventually gave up, whimpering sadly at her predicament, Foxy walked behind a tree only to return with a squeaky toy, which he spit out, it was Cat's time to cock her head, Foxy moved the toy with his nose near the brunette, Cat understood and began to play with the squeaky toy.
Tori closed the door "Yeah, she's going to be like that for a while."
"She can stay on the front lawn all night for all I care!" Jade bellowed, "Why Vega?! Why did you ruin my chance at revenge!"
"Because you're not a teenager anymore Jade!" Her wife yelled back "You can't just break the law and expect just a slap in the wrist! No, if you had gotten caught, you would have been sent to the slammer!"
"God, you're acting as if you're a stranger to my revenge schemes." Jade said "Tor, I never get caught!"
"Well what if you did?!" Tori snapped "How do you think Matt would react to knowing his grandma, who he loves very much was behind bars on his first Halloween!"
Jade didn't say anything to that.
"How would Tawny react?!" Tori lowered her voice "What if she suddenly considered you a bad influence on her son, then what? Would your revenge on those stupid judges been worth it?"
The Latina began to weep, Jade lifted her chin to stare into those big brown eyes she loved so much.
"Vega... I... I didn't think of that." She admitted "I'm... I'm sorry."
"I love you Jade." She said emotionally "Don't ever forget that, I stopped you from what could have been one horrible mistake because I didn't want anything bad to happen to you... To us... To our family, so please... Promise me no more revenge schemes... Not law breaking schemes anyway."
The Thespian kissed her, it wasn't a long kiss, but one still filled with love and devotion "I promise."
"Good... Good." Tori whispered "Also, It's West!"
Jade chuckles "Of course it is."
"Are we interrupting something?"
Both mothers, turned around to see their son and his girlfriend... Holding hands.
Tori washed away some of her tears "No Mijo, we were just talking."
"About?"
Jade smirked, giving her wife a slap in the ass and a grateful smile "Let's just say I learned my limits on what not to do."
Both teenagers glanced at each other.
"You want to know?" Tony asked.
"Not really, no."
"That's what I thought."
While no one was paying attention, Emily took the opportunity to pinch Tony's ass, making him jump in surprise with an "epp."
"Emily." He hissed "Not in front of my parents... And keep still, we don't want another visit from you know who!"
"You're no fun." She whispered back.
"You two ready for the party I see." Jade comments, raising an eyebrow "Tony, Wonder Woman? Really?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, in fact, I see it as an improvement over your other costumes."
"Other costumes?" Emily asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about mom." Tony lied nervously.
"Aw come on son, don't be shy." Jade said playfully, getting her wallet out of her pocket "Remember the first Halloween you got to pick out your costume? You wanted to go out as Elsa."
Emily saw an old photo of Anthony at a such a tender young age of probably four or five and to her amusement, he indeed was wearing the iconic blue dress of the ice queen.
"My, my, you looked so precious, princess." His girlfriend said teasingly.
"Swallow me Earth."
"Aw this brings back memories." Tori said fondly "Oh! You remember he didn't want to take off the dress for like a week?"
"Hard to forget." Jade nodded "And let's not forget when he dressed up as Rapunzel the year after that!"
"Oh God!" Tony blushed red "This is what an aneurysm feels like."
Emily was snickering playfully.
"How could this be more embarrassing?"
Jade's eyes landed on Emily "Well this takes me back... Remember when I dressed up as Black Widow baby?"
"Do I ever." Tori grinned "You looked so sexy."
That's how.
"MAMA!" Tony yells, mortified, Emily's left eye was twitching uncontrollably.
"Yes, I was." Jade smirked "But you as a sexy cop? Best costume ever!"
"Thank you."
The body search was a nice touch."
"MOM!" The teen boy yells out horrified. "I'm begging you two, please stop talking!" this was embarrassing beyond measure as far as he was concerned.
Tori sensing this, walked over to her son, raising his face to have a good look, she was impressed with his appearance "Not bad for a first time."
"You really think so?"
"I know so."
He made a twirl in front of his mother "You think I can pull it off?"
"I really do." She answered "I hardly recognized you when I first saw you."
"You're just saying that because you're my mama."
"No Mijo, I'm not." She then made a twirl of her own "What do you think of my costume? Just like you, I choose to be a warrior princess."
"Girl power huh?" He teased, lifting his arms heroically, an action Tori copied, afterwards both mother and son started giggling and hugged, all the while Emily and Jade stared at them with an eye roll.
"I felled in love with a dork."
"Hey I don't remember you having that choker Mijo."
"Emily just gave it to me, Mama."
"Did she now?" Tori asked suspiciously. "That was mighty nice of her."
Fortunately for Emily she was saved by the bell or rather by the front door opening; Foxy ran by, followed by Tawny, her husband and their son (in a tiger costume) as well as Cat who was panting like a dog.
"Doggy!" Matt said happily.
"No son, that's your grandma." Lukas said "Mom... I believe puppy time is over, don't you think?"
Cat didn't agree, grabbing a ball with her mouth and setting it in front of Matt's feet, whimpering that she wanted to play, her grandson happily threw it and she went after it before once more giving it to the young boy.
Matt hugged his grandma, who smirked smugly at the Wests.
The former Goth narrowed her eyes "Oh Shapiro... It's on!"
"Oh Matt!" Jade sang mischievously "You can play with an old dog any day."
Cat growled, she was not amused by the jab at her age.
"Look what I have for you!" The Thespian said showing him her phone.
"Scribbles?"
Jade laughed "Hardly Matty... In here I have the houses where they'll give out the best candy!"
The boy's eyes widened "CANDY!"
"Yup, and your favorite grandma... i.e. me... Will drive you to all these houses."
"yay!"
"Um mom... Actually, Lukas and I been talking and we we're thinking that maybe Matt should skip out on Halloween this year."
"WHAT?!" Jade bellowed "Are you two off your rockets?!"
"You can't do that!" Cat spoke for the first time in a while "Think of all the bibble Matt will get! He's so cute, tiny and lovable!"
Tori was also aghast "You two think you can promise us an evening out with our grandson only to take it away from us at the last minute?!"
"It's just that Matt has school in the morning." Tawny explains "So, if he eats all the candy, he'll have such a sugar rush that'll make him stay up all night."
"Oh well when you put it that way..." Jade began to say only to grab her grandson and run out of the house as quickly as a speeding bullet "VEGA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GET IN THE DAMN CAR AND LET'S GO!"
Tori apologetically shrugs at her daughter and son in law on the way out, they of course followed her just in time to see Jade back out of the driveway to a different neighborhood.
"Oh no you don't!" Cat yells out "You aren't getting all the fun grandson-snatchers!"
The former redhead got on her bike and went after them before getting in contact with her husband to tell him of what just happened and to help her track down Matt.
Lukas blinked then stared at his wife "We really should have predicted that, right?"
Tawny groaned "Great, looks like we aren't getting any shut eye tonight."
"So... Wanna go home and sleep while your parents take Matt around the block?"
"Sounds like a plan."
The young couple was left behind.
"Is your family always this nutty around Halloween?"
"This was one of the most normal nights actually." Tony shrugs "You should be here for Christmas, that's when the real craziness takes place."
"Well, we still can make it to the party," Emily gazed at her phone "That is, if you still wanna?"
"I would, but my mom took my car and I know she hides her own keys so even if we find them, it'll take us hours."
"Well, I guess we'll miss the party... Unless ..."
"Unless what?"
Emily directed her head towards her motorcycle.
"Absolutely not!" Tony exclaimed "There's no way I'm getting on that wandering death trap!"
"Well, it's either that or we miss out on what could very well be the greatest party of our lives!" Emily snapped "And I dunno about you but I put too much effort into my costume for it to go to waste because you refuse to live a little."
She threw him a spare helmet.
"Fine!" He relents "But if we die, let it be known that it was your fault."
"Sure, whatever, just get on." She ordered pointing at the backseat before starting her ride.
Tony instinctively took a step back "Is it supposed to do that?"
"Geez, what a princess." She sneered "Just get on."
He did, although it was taking him a bit of time trying to get comfortable considering what he was wearing.
"What's taking you so long back there?"
"I'm sitting on my dick." Tony snapped "You try sitting in one of these DEATH WHEELS when your little friend is covered under a layer of duct tape!"
"Next time grow a pair, be a man and wear pants."
"Hey! I'm plenty man!" He replied back, offended "I gotta be, to be dating you!"
"Ohh, nice come back." Emily shot back sarcastically. "Now if you're done, we have a party to get to."
The moment they started to back out, Tony screams "WAIT!"
"What is it now?!"
"There's nothing to hold onto!"
"Man, my ass!" She thought irritated "Hold onto me then."
Tony did as he was told and clung himself to his girlfriend's waist for dear life.
"Ready to go princess?"
"Will you stop calling me that?!"
"Um... Nah... I don't think I will." Emily said mischievously "I grown rather fond of it now, I think that will be my pet name for you."
"You're a blonde headed demon, you know that?"
"Doesn't change the fact that you're my princess."
"I'm yours?" He asked "Aww, you really do love me!"
Afterwards he gives her a peck on the cheek and puts his head on her shoulder affectionately.
"Geez, I am dating a girl."
Emily finally drove out of the West driveway, not once did Tony stopped smiling goofily while they were traveling to their destination.
However, someone got up on the way.
"Tony!"
"Oops!"
WHOO! That was my longest chapter yet! But who knows? I may break that record someday.
Took me a little over two weeks to write this twisted idea, I originally was planning on posting on Halloween like I said above but unfortunately, it just didn't seem right no matter how mane times I re-wrote this.
Tony and Emily taking after Tori and Jade respectively was intentional since I feel Tony would take after his mama since they share a close bond while Emily has a similar personality to our favorite Goth,
The idea of Tony cross-dressing was actually inspired by a news report I saw in which two parents allowed their sons to wear Disney dresses claiming that its not their call to make what gender their sons identify best with.
Tony is obviously straight since he's dating Emily, he just has a strong respect for women considering his parents raised him on such ideals and that eventually led him to look up to "strong independent women" as role models, which explains why he went to the party as Wonder Woman even if she is fictional, by the way the costume is a mix between the one Gal Gadot wore in the WW movie and the animated version from Justice League.
The part with Tori scaring Emily was actually done by accident since Jade was meant to do just that but after a typo, (and because it seemed to predictable) it made me wonder, what if Tori gave Emily a hard time? I mean all mothers usually don't think any girl is right for their son, that was the case with Tori and then some as she is very protective of Tony.
Cat's dog antics were explained here by Jade and theorized by Tori, this was added in later drafts because Jade and Cat trying to get the upper hand to make Matt choose who are his favorite set of grandparents is too damn funny.
Also, yes, Cat still rides her bike from "S&C" because she's a big kid a heart.
The idea of Tony and Emily breaking gender roles stereotypes was inspired by Sam and Freddie from iCarly... Why do you think I made Emily a blonde? How many of you saw that one coming?
Anyway, constructive criticism is always accepted.
