Chapter 9

Her 12 hour shift completed, Taylor headed for her apartment. She showered and slipped into a petticoat and a flowy yellow dress. She tied her hair back into a ponytail, and tied it up with a yellow ribbon. "Now to find shoes," she mumbled as she moved back into her bedroom. She decided to skip the tiara.

Joe knocked on Taylor's door, feeling totally and utterly stupid. When Otis had the bright idea to have a Halloween party at Molly's, everyone was up for the idea. Then Otis insisted it had to be a costume party. Taylor was on board as Disney Princess Belle, but she drew the line at Joe being Beast or Shrek. She insisted he was too handsome to be either one. So, he did the only thing he could do. He cut two eye holes out of a sheet.

"Hi, come on in," she said as she answered the door. "Where's your costume?"

Joe held up the sheet. "Best I could do," he offered as he gave her a kiss and a hug. "You look beautiful."

She curtsied. "Thank you, Kind Sir. " She looked at the sheet crumpled in Joe's hand. "You're not upset about not getting to be Beast or Shrek?"

"No. I didn't want to be either."

She had an idea. She walked over to her desk and pulled out an index card. She wrote something on the card, and went looking for something else. She returned a minute later. "Can you put your costume on for a minute?" she asked.

"Why?"

"Because I have an idea."

"Taylor-"he started, but he put the sheet over his head. She pinned the card to where his forehead was.

"Ok, you can take it off now."

Joe took the sheet and pulled it off of his head. He fiddled with it until he found the index card. He looked at it and looked up at her. "XY is my ghost name?"

"You're not a ghost anymore," she pointed out.

"OK, so what am I?"

"Now you're a sperm."

"Taylor!"

"In honor of Hermann's vasectomy." She noticed he looked uncomfortable. "If people start giving you a hassle, you can take it off," she conceded.

He stared at her for a minute, then started to laugh. "A sperm! No one would have ever thought of that." He drew her into his arms and gave her a kiss. "Thanks, Babe. You're the greatest."
