I have two things I wanted to say.

1. I actually thought about Nashi being 15, and she would be a Sophomore, not a Freshmore. So.. Lets say that she's actually just a Sophomore because it'd be easier since I kinda made everyone, like Storm, Molly, Jared, and Lorie, and etc. 15. O-O I really should've thought about all of this earlier on ;-;

2. I know, OMG I was about to type Christmas (There are so much Christmas already that it's making me gag e-o), Halloween is over, but I wanted to make a Halloween type special chapter so here ya go. I feel bad that you all, or ya'll whatevs, have to deal with my complicated brain. So imma stop being boring like always. Sooo.. lettuce start! (Get it the pun- *crickets* never mind *laughs nervously*...)

Chapter 23

"The Halloween Party"

[This is Nashi's P.O.V]

I walked around the hallways putting one foot in front of the other to my locker. I was at school, and I had History soon. Storm also had the same class along with Jared. Of course Storm sat by me, but Jared sat on the other side in the back row away from us. I guess he enjoyed it though because of the silentness that came with it. I found my locker and kept fumbling with the lock, but I couldn't get it open.

"Do you need some help with that?", I heard a familiar voice and turned my head.

"Hey Eric, and yup.", I stepped aside, and he opened the door with ease. I was always bad at opening lockers.

"I heard Jared's brother is throwing a Halloween party. Are you coming? Jared asked me to ask everyone.", I didn't know Jared had a brother! I most definitely wouldn't have also suspected that he was a party type. Well when you think about it, Erza is his mom.

"I'll go. I can ask Storm for you since we have class together next."

"Sure. Bye.", I waved bye back and headed to History.

When I walked into the classroom, I saw Storm already sleeping from boredom.

I lightly tap his shoulder and whisper, "Storm?" No response.

I lean closer to his ear and yell, "STORM!" He immediately jumps up from his seat, and everyone gives me weird looks.

"What the hell Nash!", Storm said covering the poor ear I yelled into. "My ear is still ringing."

"You wouldn't wake up.", I answered shrugging.

"Still!"

"I'm sure you would rather be making out with me than arguing.", I teased him with what he said awhile back.

"Sure.", he grabbed me and pulled me closer, and I started to blush uncontrollably. I didn't mean it idiot!

"Not here.", I said. I pushed him away and looked around the classroom and thankfully no one saw the scene.

"But we can't do it at your house because your Dad will try to kill me again.", Storm pouted.

"Too bad."

"You're just too cruel.", he pouted and gave me a quick peck on my cheek before the teacher walked in.

Storm and I start to write notes to each other back and forth.

Nashi: So anyways, Eric told me that Jared's brother is throwing a party tomorrow, and Jared wanted us to come.

Storm: Eric? I never thought that Jared would have a brother that likes to party.

Nashi: What do you mean by 'Eric?' and I know right! I thought the same thing.

Storm: Nothing.. I'm going if your going. If you're not going then I have no reason to come.

Nashi: I'm going.

Storm: Okay, I'll pick you up at your window as always.

"Are you two passing notes or listening to the lesson?", our teacher.. is really a cranky one..

"N-No!", Storm and I both answer quickly.

"You're off the hook this time because I know your parents, but next time I will not hesitate to give you detention! Class is over by the way.", I heard my teacher curse under her breath while Storm and I just stood there in awkward silence.

"I guess we'll see each other after the next period at lunch?", Storm broke the silence.

"Obviously.", I giggle, "We better go now before we're late and actually do get detention." Storm nodded and response, and we both sprinted to class. I wasn't late, but I'm not sure about Storm.

I got off the bus with Storm, and he gave me a kiss after the bus drove away.

"Since no one is here, how bout we do the making out now?"

"Have you forgotten about my Dad's stalking issues?"

"..."

"Maybe one day.", I giggle and pat his head, and we walk home.

"I'M HOME!", Storm yells.

"Hey Nashi.. and Stripper #2", Dad says making Storm sulk.

"So anyways, I was wondering if I could go to a party tomorrow."

"No.", Dad answered without even thinking about it.

"What? Why?"

"Because.. um.. Nalu needs someone to take her trick or treating!"

"She's a bit too old for that.."

"Nalu doesn't think so."

"Why can't you take her trick or treating?", I asked folding my arms.

"You see.. Lucy and I were going to do something..", we all know what he means.. e-o

"I shouldn't even have asked. I'm tired of you bossing me around!", I punch his gut and marched up to my room. When I get there, I plop on my bed look at the ceiling.

"I didn't know you wanted to go so badly.", Storm laid beside me and chuckled.

"Well.. I don't really. It's just annoying that he thinks I'm fine with everything. He should've asked me to take Nalu trick or treating."

"You got it wrong. I think he just didn't want you to go to the party."

"That's even worse."

"So much for me trying to cheer you up.", he mumbled. I didn't think I was supposed to hear him, but I couldn't help but smile.

"You were trying to cheer me up?"

"Maybe.", I giggle a little, and I know he's smiling. "I guess it worked!"

"I'm going to go to the party because Dad can't tell me what to do anymore!", I declare out loud.

"I'll help you sneak out tomorrow.", with that he winked and left out the window.

I walked over to my desk and put on my earbuds that were connected to my IPod. Soon my eyes slowly start to close..

I wake up to music pounding in my ears and look at the clock. 4:00 am That's fucking early!

I turn off my IPod and take out the earbuds. I went back into my bed and tried to sleep but that failed. I decided to just listen to music while I take a bath.

Bath+Music=Relaxation

I took a long bath, about 30 minutes, and decided to go downstairs and eat breakfast. I saw that Luna was on the couch sleeping with a bunch of crumbs on him and a bag of Doritos. I face palm myself and make some eggs. The eggs weren't as good as mom's cooking, but I don't think much about it. I look at the clock. 6:00 am

"Everyone should be waking up about now.", I mumble to myself. I see Nalu walk into the kitchen fully dressed and ready. The hell? She's already dressed at 6:00?!

"Hey Soupy. I'm not used to seeing you up this early.", she walks past me and sits on the same couch Luna was sitting on. I see her take out a black marker and giggle. She's the one who always draws on my face! I sometimes will wake up to seeing myself with drawings on my face, and I always thought that Luna or Dad did it. I should've known it was her.

"What are you doing?", I ask.

"Drawing on Lulu's face.", she smiled innocently and giggled. How can she still be cute even like this. Every year she gains about 1,000 more cuteness points.

"You shouldn't be doing that Nalu.", I frown at her trying not to let her get her way.

"You aren't going to tell on me are you?", her voice started breaking and tears flowed out of her eyes like a river. DAMNIT!

"N-No.."

"Yay! You're the best Soupy!", she smiled and hugged me. The hug wasn't cold though, it was warm. It must've been a real hug and not a fake one to get what she wanted. I couldn't help but smile.

"I know I am.", she giggles and continues to draw on Luna's face. At this point I don't care. I'm actually looking forward to seeing his reaction.

"WHAT THE HELL!", Luna came into the room and yelled. "Who drew on my face?!"

Nalu pointed at me then I pointed at her. I didn't do anything!

"Did both of you do it?!", he yelled again.

"Nalu obviously was the one. She drew teddy bears and rainbows. If I did it then I would've drawn other.. things..", I explain.

"Whatever I'm just washing this off.", Luna walked away, and I heard his door slam close. I looked at Dad and instead of eating like before, he was laughing. I glanced at Mom, and she was smiling in his direction. I don't get how him just randomly laughing can make her smile. Well I guess Storm has that affect to me..

"Soupy! Look at this!", she showed me the nyan cat video again, and I groaned.

"Thanks a lot! Now this fucking song is stuck in my poor brain.", I glare at her while she's still smiling.

I walked outside and saw Storm was at the bus stop as always.

"Hey Nash."

"Hey 'Icey' "

"Please don't call me that.", he pouted.

"What about 'Stripper #2'?"

"...", he started to sulk.

"What about Storm?"

"That's my original name, 'Soupy.' ", he patted my head and chuckled a bit.

"Whatever Stripper #2."

"I'll start stripping if you want.", with that he started pulling off his shirt, and I started to blush.

"Fine, Storm.", he smirked and put his shirt back on.

After school I came home with Storm as always.

"We're home!", Storm and I yell.

"Hey Soupy!", Nalu came smiling as always. "Hey Icey!"

"Will you ever stop calling me that?", Storm and I say together.

"Nope!"

"So do you want to go trick or treating?", I asked.

"Not really. For some reason Dad- I shouldn't be telling you this."

"Tell me what Dad did!", I yelled. She held out her hand, and I put a $20 dollar bill in her hand. I glanced at Storm, and it seemed he was holding in a laugh.

"Dad gave me money to go trick or treating and to not tell you about it.", Nalu shrugged.

"Are you really going to go trick or treating?", I asked.

"I have my ways of making sure he doesn't find out that I'm in my room. I also bought a bit of candy in case if he asks where my candy went.", she explained. She really thought it through! Wow.

"Oh ok.", she left as if on cue, and I heard the lock of her door.

"She still asks for money?", Storm asked.

"Sadly.. yes.", I answer.

"I don't want to put on a costume so I'm going as myself to the party.", Storm said.

"Same for me also. I don't want to dress as a banana." I pouted when he started laughing.

"I guess we'll just stay as we are then.", he was wearing a navy blue T-shirt with blue jeans, like always, and I was wearing a white T-shirt and black pants.

"Yep.", I answered.

At 6:00, because the party started at 6:30, I was waiting for Storm to finally show up. When I heard the window open, it was 6:40.

"Hey Nash.", he greeted smiling.

"Why were you here late?", I asked.

"Well, I was taking a nap and you gotta love that snooze button..", he smiled nervously.

"I've pressed the snooze button before.", I said.

"Whatever, let go!", with that he jumped out the window.

I was really looking forward to being brave, but when I looked at the ground I thought, 'Maybe I don't need to go.. haha... ha..'

"If you're not going to jump, I'll bring you down myself.", Storm just smirked at any thought. I jumped and landed easily on the ground. YAY! I did it! Storm kissed my forehead, and we started walking to the address Eric told us. When we arrived, there was actually a lot of noise. When we walked in, I had to cover my poor ears since they were so sensitive. Surprisingly, or not - I don't know which - , there was a whole lot of people. I didn't think this would be a big deal. I walked around the corner and saw.. Luna? I quickly ran over to him with my impulsive side getting the best of me. I heard Storm rushing behind me probably wondering what was up.

"Luna?", I asked. I saw Luna turn his head away from the group that he was talking to and eyed me.

"I thought Dad said you weren't supposed to come.", I mentally face palmed myself.

"How would you know that? Besides, why are you here?", I answered him with questions.

"I know because Dad told me, and Jason is my best friend. Of course I'd come to his party.", Luna answered. Unlike Dad, Luna was actually quiet about his social life. I had no idea he knew Jared's older brother. "So why are you here?"

"Jared, Jason's little brother, invited Storm, a few others, and I.", I answered.

"I always thought that there was one person at your table who looked a lot like Jason. I didn't know that Japid or Jakrid would be his brother."

"It's Jare-", I was interrupted when I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I slowly turned around.

Shit it's, "Dad.", I say annoyed that of course he'd be here. He glares at Storm, and Storm tries to keep his cool by shrugging. Clearly that doesn't work.

"OMG Is that the legendary Salamander?", I heard random people talk. Hopefully they could just distract him..

"Who's he glaring at?"

"They look similar with the same hair and all.. Maybe that's his daughter.", that's not helping..

Right now I am outside taking Nalu trick or treating. I feel bad for Nalu, but deep down I think she actually enjoys it. I think what she enjoys most is me wearing this stupid banana outfit. I guess it's true that no one can beat Natsu. Even his own damn daughter!

I feel so bad right now. I've been writing over a few days and been trying to finish, but also not. I don't know how to explain it.. Anyway thanks for reading and please review!
