~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tabitha claimed she spotted a costume near the back of the store that she wanted to get, so she dragged Amara with her, her hazel eyes gleaming mischievously. Kitty followed them to the back, hoping she would find what she was looking for. Denise headed for the left side of the store, towards the more gothic costumes. Rogue smirked as she headed towards the right side of the store. She would never be caught dead wearing these costumes, considering they were all bright colors. After searching for a few minutes, she found a white angel costume with a shimmering white dress. She smirked again as she plucked it off the rack and headed back to the center of the store. She knew her friends would meet her there.
Meanwhile, Denise was trying to decide between a witch costume and a vampiress costume. She finally decided on the vampiress outfit that was complete with a dark green and black velvety dress. She headed back to the center of the store, where she spotted Rogue waiting.
"Hey! I found one! How do you like this?"
Rogue looked over the costume and then nodded appreciatively. "That's good. Now, heah's yoah's."
Denise had to do a double take as Rogue lifted her costume in the air. "I-I can't wear that! It's a.. a dress!"
"We had a deal, remembah?"
"Yeah yeah," Denise grumbled, taking her costume from Rogue and giving Rogue hers. Denise's smile returned, though, as she continued talking to the Goth. "So, did you notice the irony of your costume?"
Rogue smiled slightly. "Yeah."
"I thought it suited you quite well. Now, why in the world did you pick this for me?"
"Ah thought you could surprise mah brothah with it."
Denise stopped suddenly. "What are you talking about?"
"Look, you admit that you lahke mah brothah and I'll admit somethin' in return."
Denise raised an eyebrow, but grinned. "You admit it first."
"Fahne. I lahke Evan," the Goth whispered, blushing deep red.
Denise grinned. "I so knew it," she whispered back and began dancing. Rogue glared at her, reminding Denise that she had to admit something as well. "Alright, alright. So, I like the fuzzy blue elf. Okay?" Denise was now blushing just as bad as Rogue.
"Fahne with me."
Kitty chose that moment to bounce over to them. "Like, check this out! I, like, found the perfect costumes for, like me and Lance." She held up a cat costume and a dog costume. "Aren't they adorable?"
Denise grinned. "They ARE adorable. And I'm sure Lance will LOVE them."
Kitty smiled brightly as she headed for the cashier. Denise followed, grinning from ear to ear. Her cousin was so in for it this time. Rogue smirked slightly at the thought of Lance dressed like a puppy. When they reached to the register, Tabitha and Amara were on their way to check out. Tabitha had picked an orange saloon girl outfit, while Amara had taken Denise's advice and was buying a hula girl costume. After paying for their costumes, they exited the store.
"Like, we were planning on coming tomorrow, but Scott and Jean got into a fight. We had to, like, get out of there," Kitty explained after Tabitha asked why they had come to the mall.
"I was extremely bored. Besides, I have a feeling that Lance has done something totally embarrassing to me."
"Like, he did call earlier. He, like, wanted to talk to Kurt."
Denise froze dead in her tracks. "What?! Do you know what he said?!"
Kitty frowned, confusion written all over her face. "No. All I know was it was, like, right before we left."
Denise suddenly seemed too calm for anyone's safety. "Come on, Tabby. We gotta go."
As she stomped off towards the jeep, Tabitha turned towards the girls. "We'll cathca later!"
She chased after her brunette friend, hardly containing her excitement in seeing what was about to go down at the Brotherhood house. 'Maybe I should move back in,' she thought to herself.
Denise drove calmly, not letting what she was feeling show one bit, until they pulled into the Brotherhood drive. After asking Tabitha to take her costume upstairs, to which the blonde happily agreed, Denise stomped towards the house, throwing the door open.
Todd cowered in fear, expecting Mystique instead of the short brunette. He quickly hopped behind the couch upon seeing the look on her face. Pietro had been pacing rather quickly on the floor, rambling about his relationship with Tabitha. Now, he was in the armchair, sitting awfully still for the silver haired speed demon. Freddy was cooking in the kitchen, only coming to the doorway to see who had caused all that racket. Wanda, Ryka, Darcy, Lance, and Adolf were all upstairs when a furious scream rang through the house, rattling the walls.
"LANCE ALVERS!!! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!!!"
Adolf looked down at Lance from his top bunk. "What did you do?"
Lance shrugged, but decided against keeping his cousin waiting as he set his guitar aside and headed downstairs. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he started having second thoughts about coming down. Denise's eyes were glowing that vibrant orange color that accompanied her powers and there was no doubt in Lance's mind that somewhere an unexplainable volcano was erupting in Bayville.
"What the hell were you thinking?! What did you say to him?!"
"What are you talking about Denise?" he asked, completely confused.
"We ran into Kitty at the mall," Tabitha said as she sauntered in. "She told us you called the Institute."
Lance's eyes widened as Tabitha skipped up the stairs. "Oh, that. I can explain, really!"
Denise crossed her arms, her eyes returning to their normal color. "Then I suggest you start."
"Look, I was just trying to help out. I didn't even believe I was doin' it. By the time I started doubting it, he was already on the phone and I couldn't stop myself. Sorry, Dee."
Denise sighed before shaking her head. Then she remembered the costumes Kitty had picked out for the two. When a small grin appeared across her features, Lance gulped. Something was up, he could tell. His cousin always remained mad for at least another hour or two.
"By the way, Kit bought your costumes today. They're quite cute, if I do say so myself."
So that was it. Kitty had went ahead and bought him a costume. He had a feeling things were going to get worse. He sighed. 'Oh well,' he thought. 'You know what they say. What goes around, comes around.'
"Right, I guess she'll give it to me at school er sumthin'. What did you get?"
Denise scowled, thinking about the costume Rogue had picked out for her. "It's a surprise."
At that time, Freddy came to stand in the kitchen doorway. "DINNER TIME!!"
Denise grinned and headed for the kitchen, quickly followed by the rest of the household.
At Magneto's base, Remy was watching as St. John put the finishing touches on his Halloween costume. Even if the Australian was a little crazy at times, he sure did know how to sew. Remy was going to go as a demolition worker, thanks to Yesima. Piotr hadn't decided if he was going or not. St John was going as Vash the Stampede and Jennifer was going as Harley, the Joker's sidekick off of Batman.
"Good job, mon ami. Remy t'inks you do dis often."
"Not that often, mate."
"Have you seen de cheres? Remy hasn't seen them all day."
"Yesima said somethin' about going shoppin' for 'er costume."
"You realize we have t'behave?"
"Yeah, Pietro told me. Said one of their new members would hurt me if I didn't."
"You believe 'im?"
"Remember that volcano in California they couldn't explain, mate?"
"Oui."
"That was 'er."
"A chere did dat?
"Yep."
"Mon Seigneur."
"That's what I said."
Remy gave St. John a look before walking off. St John went back to examining his costume, making sure it was just right.
At the Institute, Kitty, Amara, and Rogue sauntered into the recreation room, where Kurt, Scott, and Ray were watching Scream 2.
"Man, I can't believe people are actually scared of this movie," Ray complained, not having noticed the girls yet.
Amara smirked as she snuck up behind Ray, before slamming both her hands down on his shoulders. Ray let out a shrill scream, turning bright red when he saw it was only Amara. The others busted out into laughter, except Rogue, who only smirked.
"That wasn't funny!"
"Calm down, Ray. I was just playing around. Besides, we wanted to show you our costumes."
Kitty nodded ecstatically and Rogue looked like she wanted to kill Amara. Scott raised an eyebrow when he saw the bag in Rogue's hand.
"I thought you weren't coming."
"Ah made a deal with someone."
"I see. Well, are you going to show us or not?"
Kitty gladly set the bag down in front of her before pulling out her costume. "Isn't it cute?" The guys all raised their eyebrows. "And I, like, got a matching puppy one for Lance." She squealed, closing her eyes, causing her to miss their smirks.
Amara pulled out her costume and Ray's jaw dropped. "Denise gave me the idea. What do you think, Ray?"
Ray nodded dumbfoundedly. "Uh, yeah, it's, uh, great."
The three boys turned to Rogue expectantly. She simply crossed her arms and glared. "It's a surprise." She then turned and headed up to her and Kitty's room.
Kitty frowned slightly before turning back to the boys. "So, like, what are you all gonna be?"
"I'm going as a knight from the middle ages," Scott replied, grinning. Kitty rolled her eyes.
"I zink I'll go as mien self, only I'll have ze Prof. fix mien image inducer to turn mien fur red."
"And he'll be wearing a tux. Like a sophisticated demon. I'm going as a surfer guy."
Kitty smiled, winking towards Amara. It was obvious that Ray wanted his and Amara's costumes to be similar. "Well, I, like, am going to bed. Night."
The others waved as Kitty headed for her room. On the way, she heard Jamie telling Bobby he was going as a prince and Jubilee was going as his princess. Bobby replied that he was planning on asking Christina tomorrow, so he wasn't sure what to go as yet. Kitty shook her head as she entered her room to get ready for bed.
Back at the Brotherhood house, they had all finished eating a few minutes earlier and Adolf was currently washing the dishes. Todd was sitting on top of the roof when Denise came up behind him.
"Whatcha doin'?"
"Nothin'," he replied, looking at her. "How'd you get up here?"
"I used to do the same thing at my old house. You know, I heard Ryka telling Wanda she was goin' as Sango from Inu Yasha. If you want, I can help you make a Miroku costume."
He smiled. "Already ahead of ya, Dee. I overheard her say that a while back, so I started making it then. I'll need help with the color of my skin and stuff though."
Denise grinned, a picture of a watch on a certain fuzzy blue hand popping into her mind. "Don't worry, I can make it happen. Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll leave you to think. I need to go to sleep."
"Night, yo."
"Good night, Todd."
When Denise started to leave, Todd called out to her. "Why do you do that, yo?"
"Do what?" she asked, turning to face him again.
"Call me Todd."
"That's your name."
"Most people call me Toad. I'm not a person to them."
"You're a person to me. Kind of like a little brother. I've always wanted a little brother."
Todd smiled. "Thanks, Dee."
She smiled back. "Your welcome."
As she climbed back down, Todd turned to look at the moon again. He sighed as he thought about how he didn't want to screw up at the dance.
The next day at school, Principal Kelly called Lance, Kitty, and Denise to the office. When they arrived, he let all of them in.
"Mr. Alvers, Ms. Pryde, I have been getting complaints about your showing of affection for one another. It needs to cut down tremendously."
"Like, we don't do anything," Kitty exclaimed, but quieted down when Kelly sent her a glare. Lance sent Kelly one of his own glares.
"As I was saying, you need to cut down on your displays of affection or I will be forced to do something about it."
Kitty hung her head while Lance continued to glare. Kelly ignored him as he turned towards Denise.
"And you, Ms. Saylors. I heard you attacked another student."
"He attacked me sir! Punched me in the stomach, and hard too!"
"Then how do you explain the bruise on his shoulder!"
"Self defense."
"Well, you'd better watch who you use 'self defense' on. I do not want another student harmed! You are all dismissed."
Lance and Kitty left in the same position they were in when Kelly had addressed Denise. Denise left muttering obscenities in German. Kelly looked smug as he was seen shutting his door.
The rest of the day went by rather quickly and by the time school ended, everyone was feeling a bit exhilarated. Lance had asked Kitty to meet him in the auditorium after school that morning, and when she walked in, he was sitting on the stage playing his guitar. Come to find out, he had written a song to ask her to the Halloween party, although he knew she expected him to ask, he knew she'd never expect him to ask like this.
Bobby had finally worked up enough courage to ask Christina to the dance, and thankfully for him, she had said yes. He wanted to go as a werewolf, so she decided to go as a cat girl.
Rogue was at her locker, listening to Denise talk about the little chat she had with Evan, glaring at the brunette from time to time when said boy decided to show up, skateboard in hand.
"Uh, hey, Rogue, Dee," he said, turning towards the latter. "Mind if I snatch Rogue for a while?"
"Not at all. I gotta go anyways. See you guys later."
"Bye," they called as she headed for her own locker.
"I, uh, was wondering if you'd like to, uh, gototheHalloweenpartywithme?"
Rogue blinked, taking a moment to decipher the last part of his sentence. She blushed as she replied, "Lahke on a date?"
"Um," he also began to blush. "Yeah."
"Ah g-guess."
"Great, I'll, uh, stop by your room around seven?"
"Raght. Saturday at seven. See ya then."
Evan nodded, dropped his skateboard, and skated around the corner. Rogue could have swore she heard a loud 'YES!!' from him, causing her to smile a bit, despite her blush.
Denise was leaving the school when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She was about to turn around when she was teleported onto the roof of the school. She turned to face Kurt.
"Lance said you vanted to ask me somezing," he explained before she could speak.
Denise froze, her eyes widening as she mentally cussed Lance. 'Damn you, Lance.'

Cliffy, I know! I couldn't help myself. Well, thanks for sticking with me. Sorry my updates aren't as close together as they were when I started. A lot of things are getting in the way. I promise I will not drop this story though. Now, to shout out to my reviewers.
BaronOBeefDip – I sure can!! And that kind of helps me pick a costume for Todd, although I'll have to have Dee work with him a bit. I hope I'm not mutilating your charrie. ^.^;
White Vampire – I'll try not to leave you guys hanging. That's okay, I have non-creative feeling days.
Yokokaru-chan – Thanks for the ideas on Freddy and Remy's costumes. I chose the second costume you suggested for your charrie by the way. I'll update again A.S.A.P.
R&R Ringraziamenti!! (Thanks)
