Morishige`s POV
I jolted awake suddenly to the sound of a slap and the feeling of something wet on my face. I put my hand to my cheek, it was foamy. I blindly reached around for my glasses and saw Satoshi and Yoshiki rolling around on the floor in hysterics.
"Oh my God. It worked. It actually worked." said Yoshiki, through his laughter. "I saw it online but I never thought that it might actually work." In his hands he held a can of shaving foam and a feather. I stood up and staggered out of the room as they continued laughing. I was still not entirely sure what had happened. I gathered my thoughts as I walked up the stairs. I wiped some foam out of my eye. I`ll admit it; they got me. They got me good. They`d done that prank where you fill a sleeping persons hand with shaving foam or whipped cream or something and then you tickle their face lightly with a feather. The person then subconsciously tries to swat away the tickling sensation and it causes them to smack themselves in the face with the foam. I was almost half relieved that this was what they chose to do as a prank instead of the hand in warm water prank. That would've been…..bad. Well, if it was pranks that they liked then it was pranks they were gonna get. I vowed my revenge. This would not go unnoticed. Before this party was over I swore that I was going to get them back. I opened the door to the bathroom
"Gahhhh! Fuck!" I screamed. There was a skeleton on the toilet. No, you heard my right. There was a plastic skeleton Halloween decoration sat on the toilet. It was on. It was so, so on.
After doing my normal bathroom routine and washing myself clean of shaving foam, I made my way back downstairs to confront the pranksters. I looked at the clock on the wall. It was 8am
"You guys are a real barrel of laughs, you know that?" I said as I opened the door back to the living room. Yoshiki was sat at the table with a newspaper. He sniggered.
"Well you know what they say. It's a foam or be foamed world".
"Hmm, sure it is." I said, sitting down next to him. Satoshi came out the kitchen with three plates.
"Here we are lads." He said. "Egg on toast." I won`t lie. I looked pretty good. I hadn't had much to eat last night since the other two devoured most of the pizza before I could even pick up a slice, so egg on toast looked pretty good to me. As we ate, Satoshi explained his plan for the day. He told us we were going to decorate the house with decorations for the party. He then had to leave to do an errand whilst me and Yoshiki got the food and other stuff ready.
"What`re we actually gonna be doing?" asked Yoshiki. I too was curious. Every time Satoshi talked about the party he got an excited look in his eye. Said boy leant back in his chair and put his hands behind his head.
"Oh you`ll see. You`ll see."
"Well that's fucking ominous." said Yoshiki. I laughed. It did sound pretty creepy. Satoshi then told us when we were finished with the decorations we needed to change into our costumes before the girls arrived. He said that he`d arranged for them to get here in their costumes so we could have a 'Competition.' After we finished our breakfast we got to work. We all spent most of the morning decorating Satoshi`s massive mansion with Halloween decorations, with everything from fake leathery bats and spiders to simple banners. However our proudest achievement was a creepy witch we set up above the front door that crackled whenever anybody went in or out of the door. Because we`d put it above the door you wouldn't see it unless you looked up. Satoshi told us it was guaranteed to get some priceless reactions out of the girls. At noon we had some lunch. After we finished Satoshi went off to do his 'errand' leaving me and Yoshiki together to prepare the food. We chatted mindlessly as we worked. I got on well with Yoshiki but that didn't mean that would save him from my revenge strike. Ayumi was going to this party and going off what he told me last night I figured I could think of something good enough to get payback. However Satoshi was a harder nut to crack. He hadn't revealed anything personal yet, so I didn't have any clues as how to get back at him as effectively as possible.
At roughly 3pm Satoshi returned back with a few shopping backs filled with soda and a few other things. He put them away in the kitchen and told me and Yoshiki to change into our costumes. At 4, the girls arrived en masse. We were in the exact same scenario as last time, those two playing video games and me flipping through a magazine. It was a car magazine this time but whatever, it was close enough. Satoshi ordered Yoshiki to go let the girls in. He left the room to go open the front door. Me and Satoshi waited in anticipation that the witch would work and it lived up to our expectations. I heard the door open and the sound of girly chatter filled the corridor. Ayumi`s voice was clearest.
"Hi Yoshiki, Happy Hall-" The witch crackled loudly. It startled Ayumi and she screamed. The sudden shriek incited screams from the other 3 girls. I saw Yoshiki collapse onto the floor in laughter. Me and Satoshi laughed as the girls all piled into the room.
Mayu`s POV
It was the day after my invitation from Ayumi and us girls had assembled outside of Satoshi`s house. Or, more accurately, Satoshi`s mansion. In order to make sure we all turned up on time we first all went to Ayumi`s house so we could all walk to Satoshi`s place together. We figured it would be best if we all walked together since walking down the street by yourself in a Halloween costume was a bit strange. But then again, a group of us wasn't much better. In fact maybe a group was worse. We`d had a nice little pre-party at Ayumi`s place. I`d met her sister there as well. She seemed nice. Ayumi walked up to the door but before she could ring the bell, the door opened and Yoshiki stood in the doorway to greet us.
"Happy Halloween girls, come on in." he said smiling. As Ayumi stepped in she replied to Yoshiki.
"Hi Yoshiki, Happy Hall-" She was interrupted by a horrible crackling noise. She screamed in fright which startled Naomi, causing her to scream and that scared Seiko and caused her to jump and scream. Unfortunately when Seiko jumped she landed on my foot, which caused me to scream, in pain. Yoshiki had collapsed onto the floor in laughter. We all made our way into the very impressive house. White paint and white marble stairs; very fancy. Who knew Satoshi was a rich boy? Not me that's for sure. We all dumped our bags in the kitchen piled into the living room as Yoshiki composed himself. Satoshi was sat on a bean bag on the floor. Seiko, Naomi, Yoshiki and Ayumi sat on the sofa and I sat down at a table next to Shig.
"Pretty house." blurted Seiko. I loved Seiko. She always spoke her mind.
"Thanks." replied Satoshi. Seiko turned to Naomi who was 'sat' next to her. The sofa looked as if it was only made for 3 people and so because Seiko was adamant she wanted to be with Naomi, the two girls had to share a seat, which ended with Seiko half sat on Naomi`s lap.
"Almost as pretty as you." said Seiko, lightly nudging Naomi with her elbow.
"Shut up, Seiko." replied Naomi. Everyone else resumed talking. I turned to Shig next to me. He was flipping through a car magazine. I admired his costume. It wasn't what I`d hoped for though. But then again, I don`t think there was a very big chance of him wearing a sexy fireman's outfit. In fact I think everyone had done a fairly good job of getting costumes at such a short notice. Shig was wearing a grim reaper costume. He wore a long black cloak with a hood and leant against the table next to him was a long plastic scythe. I had decided to go as scarecrow girl. I`d found some ripped jeans and put some straw in the tears. I had a black and red stripy shirt and I`d topped it off with an American Stetson I`d found lying around in fancy dress box from when I was little. The prize for the funniest costume went to Seiko though. She was a toilet paper mummy. I`ll admit though that despite it being such a simple costume she pulled it off quite well. She`d gone the extra mile and wrapped some round her head and the tight fitting clothes she was wearing underneath emphasized her figure quite nicely. It looked as if Naomi`s costume had been done last minute as well and a tight budget. She was a bed sheet ghost. She cut two eye holes out of a bed sheet and just had some casual clothes on underneath. It looked creepy when she didn't move though. If she sat still and just stared forward it was quite eerie. Everyone else`s costume was far more elaborate. Ayumi wore a black witch's hat, black a cloak and dark clothes on underneath. She`d even completed the look by having a wand. I think it might have just been a stick but it still added to the witchy affect. Yoshiki`s costume however might have been the most elaborate out of all of us. He had a red hand band with plastic horns on it, a red plastic trident, a long red tail looking thing attached to his trousers and a long red cape. Whatever it was about that costume, Ayumi was loving it because when she thought no one was paying attention to her I caught her staring at him. I can't say much though, I was doing the same with Shig. Maybe he`d whisk me away under his cloak and let me hold his scythe… Anyway, lastly was Satoshi. Satoshi`s costume might have been the only one that could actually be called scary. Like me, he wore tore jeans but instead of straw he`d stuffed his rips with fake fur. Also, like Yoshiki, he too had a fake tail yet his was a grey dog`s tail. He had a white shirt on that was stained with (what I hoped was) ketchup to imitate blood and large werewolf's mask. Maybe it was just me but I thought it looked pretty scary. The fake blood added to the realism. I hate werewolves. I always thought I was fairly brave when it came to horror movie monsters. Zombies, Frankenstein, aliens, ghosts, Vampires, all fine. But werewolves were something else. They were vicious, violent, wild animals. And what made it worse was that they used to be people and so when they changed during a full moon they`d rip even their best friend to pieces if they happened to come across them. I shuddered. My ears perked up when I heard someone ask me something. It was Ayumi.
"Is that a no then Mayu?"
"Sorry." I said, smiling. "I was miles away there, what did you say Ayumi?"
"I said would you like a soda." She asked.
"Oh yes please." I replied. "Thank you." She turned to Yoshiki.
"You heard her. Go get us a soda."
"W-what? Why me?" he said.
"Because, we`re your guests." She responded. Yoshiki tried to protest.
"It`s not even my house."
"I don't care. Move your ass. Soda. Now. Go." She said, her voice almost wavering by the shock of her own confidence. Seiko mumbled something about Naomi`s ass but I didn't quite catch it. Shig looked up from his magazine.
"I`ll have one as well if you`re getting up." He said.
"I`ll have one to." Said Seiko.
"Me to, please." Said Naomi.
"Get us one too." Said Satoshi, enjoying watching his friend be bossed around. Yoshiki left the room and mumbled something incomprehensible. When he returned and handed out all the drinks, Satoshi stood up from his bean bag.
"Alright everybody," he said, getting the attention of the room. The chatter drained away to silence. "Well, thank you all for coming. I`m sure you`ll enjoy all the surprises I have in store for you." Seiko squealed.
"Oh I love surprises." She said. We all laughed. I loved Seiko. She was brilliant.
"Yes Seiko, we know you do." continued Satoshi. He clapped his hands together.
"Now then, I believe it`s time for the first main event." He said. I was intrigued.
"We`re going to be doing a talent show."
A/N: Well, there you go. Some good costumes ideas there. I sympathise with Mayu though. I hate werewolves, I think they`re terrifying. Yeah, in this alternate universe Mayu is slightly pervy. But not much, only a little pervy. And also enjoy Seiko. I think she`s brilliant. It is hinted in this chapter but its`s pilled on in future chapters that Seiko is just a massive sex pest. But only for Naomi. Also, special mention to 'Starry`s Light' for inspiration for the whipped cream prank in the beginning. I got the idea from one of the reviews on another one of my stories, so thanks. Gee, that was a long note but anyway next story will be out on the 16th. Now once again, thank you very much for reading, goodnight
