Halloween Hijinks!

To Red Witch: Thanks for the costume ideas! I really appreciate them! Xi can't be Sailor Moon, because someone else is going to be her. Storm as Mrs. Frankenstein, eh? Well, she would have the hair for the job.

To Wizard1: It should be obvious where I got the idea to make the Beast a Scotsman when he's drunk. His last name is McCoy, a name that does have a bit of Scottish feel to it. Besides, Scotsmen are funny. Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons is an example. Making Iron Man that way as well was a side effect.

It was Halloween night. A time when the spirits were at their most restless. When demons and ghouls of all sizes and shapes appeared. And come to your house and demand candy. At the X-Mansion, the X-Men were dressed in their Halloween finest. To Kurt's delight, Amanda was allowed to come over. Kurt could never repay Starchild for helping him convince the Seftons to allow Amanda to come over. She was dressed up as the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four, with a blond wig and a FF costume.

"I hope we'll have fun." Amanda smiled. "I can't believe I'll meet the Avengers."

"Yeah." Sam sighed happily. "Jennifer...my sweet Jennifer..." Amanda blinked.

"Huh?" Amanda scratched her head. Jean sighed.

"Sam, Ray, Roberto, and Bobby all have a thing for the She-Hulk." Jean explained. Amanda nodded in understanding. Suddenly, a laughing Kurt teleported in, dressed up as a dashing swashbuckler. He was one of the Musketeers. He grabbed Amanda around the waist, making her squeak and laugh.

"My beloved, I have rescued you! On, Kurthos!" Kurt proclaimed, as he and a laughing Amanda teleported away. Sam just stood there in his fireman costume and drooled. The Misfits teleported in.

"Hi everyone!" Paul grinned, dressed like Casanova.

"That costume is so you Paul, for some reason." Lance snickered.

"Look who's talking, Conan the Barbarian." Paul quipped good-naturedly. Lance was dressed up as Conan. Avalanche noticed Kitty, dressed up as a cave-girl, talking to an armored Colossus, dressed as the Terminator.

"If you'll excuse me Starchild, I have to save Queen Kitty from the evil Metal Beast." Lance snickered. The five X-Girls noticed Paul in his costume.

"HOW CUTE!!!" They squealed, and the five chattering girls gathered around the superstar. One could notice Craig was hiding in a shadow. A chain went from the shadow to Wanda's hand. She was dressed up as a witch, only all in red instead of black, and complete with red pointy hat.

"Why's Craig hiding?" Ray asked Wanda. He was dressed up as a knight.

"He's shy." Wanda explained. Craig's growl was heard from the shadows. "C'mon, kitty." Wanda lightly tugged the chain, pulling Craig out. The thug was dressed like a 50's troublemaker: Black leather jacket, white T-shirt, black leather pants. However, he had white whiskers painted on his face, a diamond collar around his neck, with the chain attached to it. On his head, he had a pair of black Josie and the Pussycats-style cat ears. "Isn't he adorable?" The X-men noticed the sneering Darkstar, and burst out laughing.

"Here kitty kitty!" Gambit laughed, wearing a king costume.

"Nice outfit Craig!" Scott laughed, dressed up as Marty McFly from Back to the Future. Craig roared.

"YOU ALL WILL DIE HORRIBLE DEATHS NOW!!!" Craig roared, lunging at Scott, intent on tearing his head off. However, Wanda lightly tugged on the chain with a smile, making Craig fall on his face. "WANDA, I'M GOING TO GET YOU FOR THIS!!!" Wanda only smiled at the ex-gang member. "You have Mr. Stupid! Why couldn't you use that as your black cat!"

"Because you look cute like that. Now c'mon, kitty. I want some punch." Wanda walked toward the punch bowl, dragging a kicking and snarling Craig behind her.

"I have a feeling Wanda's gonna do that all night." Scott sighed. "She's been having fun driving Darkstar nuts as of late."

"Remy t'ink Craig in big trouble." Gambit agreed.

"HELP ME!!" Craig yelled. A knock was heard at the door.

"I'll get it." Scott was in front of the door, about to open it, when it was kicked down, crushing Scott. "OWWW!!!" Kid Razor entered. His costume was that of Shawn Michaels. His tights, which normally had razor blades on them, had broken hearts on them, and he wore an HBK t-shirt, shiny red biker cap, and shiny red sunglasses with red round frames and black lenses.

"The HBK is every woman's pet, and every man's regret!"

"I hate my life..." Scott moaned underneath the door. Razor heard this and smirked.

"Why is this jerkoff still alive?" Razor grumbled. He jumped on the door a couple times, making Scott scream in pain. "Anyway, I'm here, so things'll be great!"

"Hey Shawn, let the rest of us come in, huh?" Clint Barton laughed as he walked by Razor, dressed like Robin Hood.

"Where's Jennifer?" Sam asked.

"She's coming." Razor groaned. "Women. They take forever to get ready." Razor grumbled.

"Thor has entered." The God of Thunder announced. He was dressed up as a Viking.

"Where's the rest of the Avengers?" Forge asked. He was dressed up as a brave.

"We're here, boys." Jennifer laughed as she entered. She was dressed up as a biker chick, complete with Harley shirt, leather jacket, and tight jeans. Roberto (dressed up like a policeman), Sam, Ray (in a Spider-Man costume), and Bobby (dressed up like a 20s gangster) started drooling. "Oh by the way, we got a new member in the ranks."

"She's an anime reject." Razor snickered. He got elbowed by Jennifer. "Hey!"

"She looks a little different from everyone else." Jen explained. "Let's just say she got involved in an accident involving a performance enhancer with feline hormones and leave it at that."

"She literally has Cat Scratch Fever, as my friend Ted Nugent would say." Razor quipped. "OW!!!" Jen elbowed him harder. He was still standing on the door.

"GET OFF ME!!!" Scott screamed.

"HI!!!!" Tigra bounced and flipped into the room, dressed up like Sailor Moon. She landed on the back of a couch and flashed a big happy smile. She bowed in Japanese custom. "Konnichiwa, X-Men and Misfits! My name's Greer, but they call me Tigra."

"Tigra?" Ray scratched his head. Jamie groaned. He was dressed up like Tony Montana from Scarface. He slapped Ray upside the head. "Hey!"

"What are you, stupid?" He snapped at Ray in a VERY GOOD Scarface voice. "She look like a tiger! How you think she get her codename?"

"You've been acting like that all day. You're starting to scare me." Ray groaned. Jamie shot him a dirty look.

"You wanna mess wit' me? Huh? You wanna mess wit' me? I'm Tony Montana! You mess wit' me, you mess wit' the best!" He pulled out a bazooka from his jacket. No one knows how he got it, or how he concealed it in his jacket.

"Oh shoot!" Ray ran away.

"Say hello to my little friend!" Jamie aimed the bazooka.

"NO!!" Storm yelled, dressed up as the Bride of Frankenstein. She tried to stop Jamie, but he fired. The bazooka fired a roll of toilet paper at Ray.

"Hey! I'm bein' toppled by T.P.!" Ray covered his arms in self-defense as a cackling Jamie fired rolls of toilet paper at him. They then heard familiar drunken singing.

"Oh no." Jean (dressed as a cheerleader) moaned. They saw Tony Stark and Hank McCoy singing. They were dressed like Scotsmen. "The Scots have invaded."

"Holy Van Halen!" Razor laughed as he looked at Jean. "Nice skirt. Rarity to see it actually on you. From what I heard, it's usually crumpled up on the red-spectacled nerd's bedroom floor." The telepathic redhead laid a smack across the face of the Heavy Metal Heartbreaker. "Hey! Well, it could be worse. Man, this party is a drag. We need some rock!" He added under his breath: "Thank God Jubilee isn't here. She'd stalk me all night. That'd really suck." He then looked at all the costumes: Pyro was dressed up as a fire god, a costume he made himself. He was trying to get Amara to be a fire queen, but she was clad like a princess. Toad's costume disturbed the other male Misfits. He was a dragon king, but he looked uncannily like Tetsukaeru. He claimed to have gotten the idea from a dream. Althea was a mermaid queen. Pietro was a race car driver. Xi was an android. Trinity were dressed up as well (Quinn was Misty from Pokemon, Daria was dressed up like a disco dancer, and Brittany was Britney Spears), and chasing Jamie. Razor's face turned to complete disgust at Brittany's costume. He also noted the X-Girls gathered around Paul. Tabby was a cowgirl and Rogue was a vampirella (That's a female vampire). Logan was a werewolf, which made the Kid of Rock laugh.

"What's so funny?" Logan asked Razor.

"The fact that for Halloween, all you have to do is show your face." Razor smirked. Logan unsheathed his claws, but Razor didn't flinch. Thanks to the Power of Rock, the mystical energy that gave Razor his powers, Razor was incapable of being afraid. "Cap, Wasp, and Pym aren't here." He noticed. "I wonder where they are." He looked out the window and noticed the creepy castle. "Funny. Didn't see that the last time I was here."

"I've been here for a while and I've never noticed it." Logan added. "It's like it just appeared. Kinda weird."

"Kinda freaky if you ask me." Razor said. He then noticed what appeared to be a limousine leave the castle. "Must be some rich folks in there. I dunno about you, Wolfman, but the Kid of Rock has got a bad feeling about that place." Razor's thoughts were interrupted by the typical screams and fights.

"I HATE THAT STARCHILD!!!"

"OWWWWCH!!!!"

"SHE'S MINE!!!"

"PUT THAT DOWN!!!!"

"JOHN, PUT THAT OUT NOW!!!"

"WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"

"HELP ME!!!!"
