I had a lot of fun doing this one. In this one, Jo's costume isn't quite as slutty, but I can totally see her pulling it off.

Now up: Sam Winchester

Disclaimer: Still don't own the show.

Sam grimaced as he watched Jo carefully consider and discard costume after costume. The sheer variety of costumes was kind of astounding, but considering how Sam wasn't exactly the holiday's biggest fan, it was mostly irritating.

"So, uh, find anything yet?" he asked casually, trying to ignore the stares he was getting from the other women searching for costumes. It was something he just seemed unable to get used to, though he probably should have by then. After all, amazingly handsome and insanely tall men tend to be pretty noticeable, especially in the women's section of a costume shop.

Jo frowned, shoving her hands in her jean pockets. "Not yet. Honestly, it shouldn't be this hard to find a costume."

He shrugged, ignoring a nearby woman in an incredibly lacy French maid costume that was trying to make eyes at him. He knew Dean would call him a geek for not being interested, but really, the skimpy costume just wasn't doing anything for him. "You could always just not dress up."

Jo stared at him like he'd said wendigos made good pets. "Not dress up? Are you nuts? That's the best part!"

"Better than the candy?"

"Yeah! I can get candy anytime. How often do we get to dress up?"

He scratched his head. "In our line of work? Pretty damn often."

She glared. "Fine, how often do I get to dress up as something other than law enforcement or a stripper?"

Sam frowned. "Why are you so fixated on this?" It took him a moment to realize just how rude that sounded. "Jo, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that."

She gave him a sad smile. "Don't worry, I know what you meant. It's just that Halloween's always been my favorite holiday. When I was a kid, it made the things out there seem a little less scary, you know? I mean, you can dress up as something just as freaky, or something that could kick a monster's ass."

He nodded a bit. "Yeah, but you don't need to dress up for that. You can kick most monsters' asses any day of the year. You're kind of badass like that."

The flattered smile she gave him was actually kind of heart-melting, and he felt his annoyance start to dissolve. "I knew there was a reason you're my favorite Winchester. It's good to know there's someone out there that doesn't think I'm a schoolgirl." Her face lit up. "That's it!"

That made Sam worry. "Jo, while I'm sure you can pull it off, I don't think dressing up as a Catholic schoolgirl is a good idea."

He was surprised by her laugh and her astonishingly tight grip on his wrist as she lead him out of the women's section, past some girls dressed as sexy pirates, right into the accessories section. "Not that kind of schoolgirl, but I'm sure that would blow Dean's mind. I've got a better idea."

She quickly threw on a crucifix necklace, pulled her hair into a high ponytail, and grabbed a faux wooden stake. She smirked and struck a little pose. "How do I look?"

Sam couldn't help but stare. Her tight jeans, leather jacket and low-cut black tank top weren't out of the ordinary, but with the crucifix and the stake it all clicked in his mind. Badass. Schoolgirl. "Jo, are you…?"

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Damn straight!"

In that moment, Sam realized Dean had been right all along; he was a huge geek. Because, God help him, at that moment Jo had never looked hotter.

Ok, maybe not quite as funny, but I figured that if anyone could appreciate sexy-but-not-skimpy-and-totally-geek-icon-badass-girl, it would be Sam. He just seems like that kind of guy. So yeah, more sweet and less silly, but I still hope you were amused. Remember, suggestions are always welcome! Just name male character, costume, and if wanted a prompt line or line of dialogue you want included. Please review!

Soon: Gabriel
