Author's Note: And finally, part 2! Happy Halloween everyone! Please enjoy!
And after three weeks of preparations, the day had finally arrived.
Halloween—the time for candy and scares. The one day where you could pretend to be someone that you weren't and get away with it. For Parker, this would be her first Halloween. Before, Parker had been shuffled out of foster homes around this time and so she was unable to fully enjoy the holiday. On the rare occasions when she had been in a home at the time, her family wouldn't celebrate it.
"Damn kids," They would mutter. "Stupid punks."
So now . . . finally, Parker could celebrate this holiday that she had so wanted to be a part of since day one. Sophie had told her to leave everything up to her and now Parker was waiting anxiously to get her costume. The door finally opened and Sophie appeared dressed as a black cat. Parker was about to comment about how a cat wasn't really that cool to be dressing up as, but Sophie quickly grabbed her hand.
"C'mon!" Sophie exclaimed as Parker was dragged into her room. "Close your eyes!" Parker did as she was told and she heard the rustle of various bags and clothes. "Open." Parker slowly did so and gasped. For on Sophie's bed was the most beautiful pink gown. It was truly fit for a princess with its lacy undercoats and shiny material. Parker hesitantly felt the cloth and smiled.
"It's . . ." Her voice trailed away out of astonishment.
"Do you like it?" Sophie asked, anxiously hovering behind her.
"Yes!" Parker exclaimed and Sophie grinned.
"Well, don't just stand there," Sophie began. "Get into it because we have a party to attend to."
Twenty minutes later and Parker was ready for the ball. Sophie had done her hair as a bun and adorned her head with a crown. Parker grinned as she saw the dress fit her like a glove. Never before had she ever seen herself look so beautiful. It was hard to believe that this was her.
They left for the party which was being held at Nate's humble abode. Nate opened the door and Parker saw that he was Batman and Parker laughed. It was kind of funny that he identified himself as a lone superhero. Hardison smiled as she entered and Parker saw that he was dressed up like a typical geek.
And Eliot . . . well, this was something she was sure was Sophie's doing. For you see, Eliot was dressed up as a Prince. While he didn't seem all that too pleased with the idea, Parker had to admit he looked handsome and totally hot. His eyes lit up upon seeing Parker and he came before her. He bowed and Parker curtsied.
And the strangest thing was, it was like they were the only two people in the world at that moment. He took her hand and pressed a gentle kiss to it. Parker blushed. She liked Halloween, oh yes.
For it was the only time that Eliot would ever act like the prince Parker knew he was.
