"Wow," he stared at her dumbstruck, "you look...you look wow."

She giggled as she rolled her eyes.

"Nathan you were with me when I bought this."

"I know but I never saw you try it on. You look good."

"Well thank you, you're quite a looker yourself."

He smiled meekly as he fixated his eyes on her.

"Umm Nathan, you going to let me in? I mean I can stand out here all night if I was wearing proper clothes but since I'm not, how about letting me in?"

Breaking out of his stare.

"Huh? Oh sorry, yeah come in Brooke's already here."

He let her in still not breaking his gaze from her. She was so gorgeous it was hard not to stare. She walked slightly in front of him as he examined her in costume. Him and her had purchased theirs earlier in the day, he had basketball practice so he was a little late in meeting her at the store. By the time he came she presented the outfits to him and he immediately agreed. So he didn't get a chance to see her in it, but telling from his reaction now that she was all dolled up, he was glad he waited.

Jill was searching for Brooke in the midst of the large crowd. The DJ was playing Kanye West's Gold Digger up to the max. The whole place was crowded with tons of teens running around dressed in every costume you could think of. Jill wondered where Nathan was, but was content when she found him right behind her, just doddling a bit.

Finally after a couple of minutes she spotted the brunette who's hair was pin curled and clad in a red leather micro mini tube dress heading over to the bar. Jill reached over for Nathan's arm which he gladly intertwined with hers as they made their way towards Brooke.

"I told you, you were made to be the next Betty Boop."

Brooke who was facing the bar turned after recognizing the voice, a smile growing on her face.

"Hey Model Girl or shall I say Aphrodite, I'm glad you came," she got up to give Jill a squeeze, "and look at you Boy Toy, don't you just make a great Adonis to her Greek Goddess. Doesn't she look hot?"

Nathan nodded quickly. He smiled shyly noticing his face was turning red.

Brooke laughed, "We'll take that as a yes. Model Girl give me a spin I want to check you out and I'm sure this one wants to too," she looked at Nathan whom she was referring to.

Jill did a quick turn around causing her costume to flutter with her. She was wearing a purple chiffon toga that hugged her curves to the extreme. Adding to it was the gold band that clung to her showcasing her tiny waist. Tonight the normally black haired beauty sported a blonde wig that flowed down passed her breast. It was curled and was held half way up slightly by the gold wreath crown she wore on the top of her head.

Brooke squealed.

"I love it!"

The three of them ordered a couple of sodas as they awaited Peyton and Lucas who probably had pre-party sex before making their way to the mixer. As always Brooke's prediction.

Jill observed what was before her. She was actually at the party, and it wasn't so bad, not considering her little moment outside of the house, but it was getting better. That was until she saw him. She spotted him out of the crowd wearing a pirate costume making his way towards them.

He looked at her slightly before completely looking over to Nathan. She bit her lip a bit shaken by her nervous system.

"Yo Nate, almost done riding that?"

Nathan nodded slightly as he played out a small smile, trying to act it out as best he could.

"Yeah, yeah almost."

Vegas nodded his cocky nodd before disappearing back into the crowd, totally ignoring Jill as he left.

When he was completely out of sight, Jill and Brooke looked at Nathan in confusion.

"What was he talking about?" Jill looked up at him.

He couldn't look her in the eye. Keeping his own fixated on the dance floor he just shrugged.

"Nothing, just basketball stuff."

Both girls nodded not seeing any importance to the conversation, so they brushed it off. Meanwhile, Nathan still thinking about the encounter with Vegas seemed to tense him up. He didn't like lying to her but he had to for this one.

"Hey guys."

Everyone turned their attention to the voice.

Nathan's eyes widened as he saw his half brother. He started cracking up.

"Dude, you're a Barbie."

Lucas sucked his teeth at him.

"Correction, I'm Ken. Barbie is a girl."

"Whatever man, you're still a doll," Nathan wiping his tears of laughter couldn't stop chuckling.

"Okay blanket boy."

"Hey I'm Adonis, I'm a Greek God, don't hate."

The girls ignored them and concentrated on Mailbu Barbie.

Brooke gave Peyton the elevator stare.

"Oh my God P.Sawyer, you're in pastels."

The blonde stuck her tongue out. She now had a wrap around her waist.

"You look so cute Peyton," Jill admired the usually dark girl as she dawned a lighter side.

"You too Jill. You rock as Aphrodite and Nathan looks hot in his toga."

The girls laughed.

"Okay this calls for a group picture," Brooke yelped as she dug into her purse for her digital camera. She handed it to the bartender who motioned the teens to scooch closer with one another. Brooke was in the middle as Nathan and Jill stood on her left and Peyton and Luke on her right.
