Halloween, 1979
I was busy passing out candy to trick-or-treaters when Jimmy pulled up in the driveway. I waved to him. It was a mild night for the end of October in Minneapolis. Jim and I had plans to go to a community Halloween party. Several other players also had plans to attend the party as well.
Jim walked up onto the porch as I handed candy to a witch and clown. Jim gave me a quick kiss as he walked into the house.
"My costume here?" Jim asked.
"I picked it up, when I picked mine up." I said. "What time are we meeting the guys there?"
"Between 9 and 9:30. I told Silky you were passing out Halloween candy to the kids." Jim said and put his arms around my waist.
"I just love Halloween; it's such a fun-not-serious holiday." I said.
"Mom liked Halloween. I think she got a kick out of dressing up eight kids and sending them out the door." Jim said. "By the way, I asked dad just to be safe and he said that I am most definitely not adopted and that he and mom never gave any of us away for adoption. So there is no chance you and I are brother and sister."
I laughed. "I can't believe you remembered me saying that."
"Had a lot of kids come by tonight?" Jim asked sitting on the couch.
"Yeah, we always do being just outside the city." I told him. A knock at the door broke me from my thoughts.
I opened the door and saw two little cowboys, they looked like twin brothers. To my surprise Jim got off the couch and came to the door with me to see and talk to the kids.
Before we could sit down again, a ballerina and her brother dressed as a frog came bounding up the steps. They looked like something out of a fairy tale.
"You're enjoying this." I told Jim.
"Yeah, it is nice to see happy kids out having fun. I guess you're rubbing off on me." Jim said.
"No you just got a soft heart is all." I said and kissed his cheek.
"Where are you folks?" Jim asked.
"They went out to dinner. Dad said he felt guilty about being away so much and insisted that they go out this evening." I said. "Who'd have thought, my dad the romantic?"
Jim laughed. "Are you about ready to start getting ready for the costume party? I still can't believe you talked me into this costume."
"Let's go get ready. And I think you look great in your costume." I said pulling him up the stairs.
"It's more something OC would wear." Jim said.
"Yes, but OC is not my boyfriend and I think you look sexy in it." I said as we walked towards my room.
We walked into my bedroom our costumes were laid out on my bed.
"If anyone takes pictures of this I will never forgive you." Jim said but there was no threat behind it.
I handed him his costume. "You can go change in the bathroom." I said.
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this." Jim said taking his costume and walking out of my room.
I changed into my costume. It was a bit more risqué than what I usually wore, but I thought it was so cute and when I saw the matching one for Jim, I just decided we had to go as this couple. I slid on the last touch, a pair of black pumps, and then looked at myself in the mirror. I looked cute, and couldn't wait to see Jimmy.
"Jim, how's it coming down there?" I yelled down the hall.
"I look so ridiculous. How did you ever talk me into this?" Jim asked.
I walked down the hall and knocked on the bathroom door. "Open the door, I want to see."
"Don't laugh." Jim said and slowly the door opened.
I looked at him. He looked so adorable in his leopard print loincloth. Actually it was kinda like a leopard print toga because it came up and covered one shoulder. It was fuzzy just like animals skin. I could tell he felt uncomfortable but he looked so sexy.
"Don't you dare laugh at me Georgia Grace." Jim said.
"I wouldn't laugh. You look great." I said. "Now Tarzan, how do I look?"
I spun around for Jim to see me from all angles. "You're one gorgeous Jane." Jim said. "I didn't realize jungle women were smooth skinned, I expected jungle girls to be hairy."
"Not this Jane." I said and wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. "Course the question now is, what are you wearing under that loincloth?"
"Do you really want to know?" Jim asked with a smirk.
"Well I know that if I really wanted to know, you would have no trouble showing me. But I know the team well enough to know that that will be the first thing out of their mouths." I said.
"I think they are going to be so busy looking at you that they won't even notice me." Jim said. "You really do look hott." Jim said and pulled me tightly against him.
"Really, Tarzan like?" I asked.
"Mmmm, Jane look good." Jim said pretending to grunt. Then he lowered his mouth to mine.
"We better go before we're late." I said though I was reluctant to pull out of his arms.
Jim and I drove across town to a dance club that was holding a community Halloween party. When we walked in we immediately spotted several members of the team already there and in costume.
"Georgia, that is some outfit…wow!" Mac said when he walked over to us.
"Thanks." I said looking at his Superman costume. "Shouldn't you be Robin? Where is Batman?"
"Be quiet!" Mac snapped with a smile. "I just can't get over how good you look in a leopard skin mini-dress."
"Mac, you're going to start drooling." I said.
"Jim, I am taking my wife back." Mac said to Jim.
"If you do, you have to wear this costume." Jim said.
"He doesn't like being Tarzan." I explained.
"Have you seen your Jane?" Mac joked. "Jim you look fine. Wait till you see the Coneheads. You'll forget about feeling silly."
"Where are they?" I asked.
"Bobbing for apples right now." Mac said.
"Jimmy, what are you wearing under that?" OC said walking up to us. I gave Jim a look that said 'I told you so'.
"That's for me to know and Georgy to find out." Jim said.
"Georgy, you're looking great." OC said and hugged me.
"Thanks, Huck Finn, where is Tom Sawyer?" I asked. OC looked cute, he had his hair disheveled and wearing bibs with no shirt and chewing on a piece of straw.
"Tom is getting a drink." OC said pointing to the bar where I saw a similarly dressed Rizzo. Rizzo was Tom Sawyer.
"Tarzan would you go get Jane a drink?" I asked and Jim gave me a funny look.
"What does Jane want? Better yet, why are we talking this way?" Jim asked.
"I don't know, bring me a daiquiri." I said.
Jim kissed my cheek and walked off to the bar. Mac put an arm around me. "Now that he is gone, what do you say we consummate the marriage?" Mac said.
"I think it would be interesting to see who would win in a fight between Tarzan and Superman. That's one you never see in comic books." I said with a laugh.
Mark Johnson walked up and joined us. He looked adorable dressed in knee-length shorts with suspenders on them, socks pulled up to his knees and a bow-tie. On his head was a little French hat and he was carrying a lollipop bigger than his head.
"Mark, you look so adorable." I said and hugged him.
"See, I told you women would like that costume, Johnson." Silk said walking up to us. Silk looked very sexy dressed as the Phantom of the Opera. The long cape and mask and Silk's natural good looks; he looked great.
"Where is Tarzan, Jane?" Johnson asked.
"Getting me a drink." I said.
"Georgia, I have to ask are you really dedicated to Jim. If you're not, and in that outfit, how about we meet…" Silk started.
"What is it with you boys? I put on a dress and suddenly you've all got more hormones than the locker room of a Jr. High football team." I said sarcastically.
The guys all chuckled as Jim came back and handed me my drink. Rizzo was with him. Rizzo looked cute as Tom Sawyer.
"Jim are you wearing underwear?" Silk asked.
I couldn't help laughing. Jim rolled his eyes. "Don't worry about it." Jim told him.
Suter walked over to join us; he was dressed as a Leprechaun. He looked so cute, like he should be walking in a St. Patrick's Day parade.
"Since when does Jane wear nylons?" Suter asked.
"This Jane is wearing them; I don't care what anyone says." I said and Jim put his arm around me.
"You should wear dresses more often." Suter said and winked. I was shocked; Suter was always a bit shy.
"I may never wear another one, all you men want to drool over me." I said.
"That's because you're a girl we know, so we can pick on you some. Meanwhile we talk like this to another girl and either she would slap us or her boyfriend would." OC said.
"Look what just walked in the door." Rizzo said, pointing at the door.
We all turned and looked. Cox was dressed as Snoopy and Christian was dressed as Charlie Brown. It was the cutest thing. They walked over to where we were all standing.
"Coxie, you are so cute." I said.
"Thanks." Cox said.
"So where are the Coneheads, I want to see these costumes." Jim asked.
"They're around here somewhere." Silk said.
I spotted Baker at the bar. He was dressed as Luke Skywalker.
"Baker looks great to be from a galaxy far, far away." I said, pointing at him.
"He is just hoping to lay Leia." Mac said, and I giggled.
"If Luke's here, that means that somewhere should be a Hans Solo." I said. "Where is he?"
"Calm down, Georgia. It wouldn't really be Harrison Ford." Jim said and kissed my temple.
"Oh my GOD!" Christian said. We all turned and looked and saw the Coneheads walking towards us.
I had to suppress laughter as I looked them over. Bah was dressed in work boots, jeans, a blue shirt that was partially unbuttoned, sunglasses and a construction hat. Pavelich was dressed in cowboy boots, jeans, a leather jacket, and bandanna tied around his neck, a plaid shirt and a cowboy hat. Buzz was dressed as a police officer. He had a night stick and everything.
"Oh Lord, they're the Village People." I said still trying not to laugh.
Beside me I could feel Jim chuckling. Cox looked stunned and Suter had begun laughing. The three joined us.
"Hey guys, been to the YMCA lately?" Christian asked.
At this point, I had to laugh. "I'm sorry. You guys do look cute, but its just so funny." I said.
"I thought you boys were 'in the navy'?" Rizzo asked.
"Alright go ahead and joke, but we're going to win the costume contest." Buzz said.
"You entered that?" OC asked.
"Yeah, we figured what the hell." Bah said.
"Leave them alone, after all they are macho, macho men." I said and started laughing again.
"Jim what are you wearing under there?" Buzz asked. This made me laugh harder.
"I am sorry, but everyone looks so cute, and I told Jim you would ask him that." I said while trying to stop laughing.
"You're not so funny, 'Georgia of the Jungle'." Pavelich said.
"What a Halloween, Star Wars, Tom and Huck, Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Superman, Phantom of the Opera and now the Village People." I said still giggling.
"Come on, Jane. Let's dance a few." Jim said pulling me onto the dance floor.
Jim pulled me into his arms as we began swaying to the music. It felt so good just to be with Jim. I nuzzled against him. I noticed OC dancing with someone near us.
"Are you having fun?" I asked him.
"I hate to admit it but I am. A good bit of it is because you look so cute in that outfit." Jim said.
I looked up at him. "You look cute in your costume too." I said.
I leaned up and kissed Jim, from the corner we heard whistles. We looked over and saw Cox, Suter and Christian whistling and making faces at us. I laughed and leaned my head back down on Jim's shoulder.
We danced a few more. I never realized what I was missing before Jim came along. Then again, the team and especially Mac, Buzz and Janny were such good friends that I never felt like I was missing anything. More like everything had fallen into place at the right time. Like they had been my friends to save me back for Jim.
'Whoa, where are these thoughts coming from?' I asked myself. 'I really am in love with Jim.'
"May I cut in?" Baker asks.
"Sure, just don't let Darth Vader near her." Jim said.
I put my hands on Baker's shoulders. "I get to dance with Luke Skywalker." I said with a wink. "Where is Hans?"
"I left him with Chewbacca." Baker said with a smile. "How are things going with Jim?"
"Very good. I am really crazy about him." I said.
"Well that's obvious." Baker said.
After finishing my dance with Baker, he and I walked over to join the others who had seated themselves at the bar. Jim ordered me another daiquiri.
"When are they announcing this costume contest stuff?" Cox asked.
"Yeah, I want to hear if the Village People win or not." Rizzo said.
"They said they were announcing winner's at 11:00." Buzz said.
"By the way, we entered all of you as well." Bah said.
"WHAT?" most of us said in unison.
"Buzz why would you do that?" Christian asked.
"Because everyone looks so cute, and Bah put me up to it." Buzz said.
"If I have to get up there wearing this loincloth, I will never forgive you." Jim told Buzz.
"What are the prizes?" OC asked.
"Jack'O Lanterns full of candy." Pavelich told them.
"How is the judging done?" Baker asked.
"Well we gave them your first names and costumes. The judges walk around throughout the evening to see the costumes." Bah explained. "That way no one knows who the judges are."
I just shrugged. "If the Coneheads win, I say we make them sing." I said.
I sipped on my daiquiri while we talked about the team and a few other things. I spent a lot of time sneaking glances at Jim who looked so handsome in his costume.
"Is it 11:00 yet?" Silk asked.
"In another 5 minutes." Johnson said.
A few minutes later, someone in charge jumped on the stage and grabbed a microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the moment you have all been waiting for….The winners of the Costume Contest." He said.
"I can hardly contain myself." Mac said sarcastically.
"The judges have informed me that they had a very tough time deciding the winners as there are many great costumes here." The announcer said. "Our first category is Greatest Costume of a Pop Culture Icon- and the winner is Bill dressed as Luke Skywalker."
We all clapped and cheered, Baker walked up to the stage though he looked a bit embarrassed.
"Next prize is for Best Female Costume…" the announcer continued.
"You know, I think Baker needs a girl to be Princess Leia." I said to the boys.
"Baker just needs a LAY-A." OC said. I rolled my eyes as some girl dressed as the bride of Frankenstein made her way on stage with Baker.
"Next is for the Best male costume- and the winner is Dave dressed as the Phantom of the Opera." The announcer said.
We all clapped and made Silk go up on stage. Baker looked relieved to have another of his teammates on stage with him.
"Next we have the prize for the cutest couple in costume- and the winners are Jim as Tarzan and Georgia as Jane." Was announced.
As the team all start cheering and clapping and whistling, Jim and I looked at each other. OC pushed Jim out of his chair and I took Jim's hand.
"It'll be okay. Just remember you look sexy." I whispered to him as we walked up on stage. We were each handed pumpkins full of candy. We walked down to stand next to Silky who was cheering for us.
"And next, the most original costume- the judges decided on a tie. So the winners for most original costume are Jack as Huck Finn and Mike as Tom Sawyer." The announcer said.
I had to laugh at the look on OC's face as he and Rizzo walked up on stage. "Good grief we're winning almost everything. Maybe we should let someone else win." Jim said.
I shrugged while still clapping. "No wonder Buzzy signed us all up." I said.
"Next Prize is for most colorful costume…" the announcer started.
"When this is over, do you want to head out?" Jim whispered as we clapped for some girl dressed as a ballerina who had just won.
"Sure, you want to head back to your dorm?" I asked. "I wouldn't mind spending some time with you and I want to give my parents their privacy."
"Yeah, that sounds great." Jim said.
"And our last category, the most creative, crazy costume, and the winners are Buzz, Bah, and Mark as the Village People." Was announced and all of us from the team started clapping and cheering.
Bah, Buzz and Pav looked so cute when they came up on stage. I was glad that everyone was having fun. I took Jim's hand as we left the stage. I was so happy that he was a good sport about his costume; then again Jim is pretty easy going.
"That was more fun than I would like to admit." OC said.
"We're going to head out." Jim said. "Buzz, I am not sure if I am speaking to you or not."
"Okay guys, Jim you enjoy that sexy Jane of yours." Silk said.
"Goodnight you guys. Have fun." I said as Jim and I walked out of the club.
Jim opened the door for me as I walked into his dorm room. I set our pumpkins full of candy down on his coffee table. Since Jim had a single room it was a lot like a small apartment.
"I had fun tonight." I said turning around to face him.
"Me too, costume and all." Jim said. "You looked so nice all evening."
"Thank you." I said and hugged him. "And thanks for being my Tarzan."
"You wanna sleep on the couch or sleep in bed with me?" Jim asked.
"You got something I can sleep in?" I asked him.
"I always got t-shirts for you." Jim said.
"Are you too horny to just sleep with me?" I asked.
"Hey, I respect your feelings. Whenever you ready to do whatever you're ready for is fine with me. However, if I grope you a few times while I'm asleep, I can't help it." Jim said with a smile. I knew that he was kidding and that he wouldn't be pushy.
"I would love nothing more than to sleep curled up in your arms." I said to Jim.
I changed into one of Jim's t-shirts that were large enough to be a nightshirt for me. When I walked back into the main room, Jim had changed into sweats and a t-shirt. He always took my breath away, no matter what he was wearing.
"Ready for bed, Mrs. McClanahan?" Jim joked.
"Yes. But don't call me that, it'll inflate Mac's ego." I joked back.
I climbed in bed and Jim followed me turning out the lights. I curled up in his arms. This is where I felt the safest and most content.
"Jim, you make me feel so safe and so happy. When I am in your arms the whole world feels right." I told him. I could feel his arms tighten around me.
"You make me feel happy too. Every day with you is a new adventure because you're such a quirky person." Jim said.
"I never felt about anyone before how I feel for you." I told him.
Jim leaned down in the dark and kissed me. At first it was a soft and gentle kiss but soon Jim was kissing me harder and rolling me beneath him. It was amazing, I couldn't breathe but I didn't want to let go of him. Finally, Jim pulled back but his breathing was shallow.
"Goodnight Georgy." Jim said and stroked my cheek. I laid my head on his chest. He pulled me tight against him and fell asleep.
