Chapter Eight: Halloween

Hannah sat on the steps to the girls' dorm wondering what Petey wanted to talk about. 'I hope his okay,' she thought. The sounds of footsteps brought her back to realty. "Petey," she whispered looking up at her friend. He looked distraught, "what's wrong?"

"Did you or Ivy tell Jimmy to bug me about that stupid Halloween costume," Petey demanded coming to a stop in front of her.

"God no, I told him time and time again to leave it alone. He bullied you on his own."

Petey looked down with a sad look on his face, "so you weren't really disappointed that I said no?"

"No… we maybe a little, but it's no big deal cutie. B and I have our costumes all ready and I think Ivy's final decided on something. We're taking B's cousin out trick or treating and then heading to the party at Ivy's place… It's okay Pete really."

Petey rocked back and forth. After a moment, Petey looks up at her, "Okay Hannah, I'm all yours."

"Petey… are you sure? I don't want…"

"I'm sure," Petey interrupted, a smile on his face. "I trust you."

Hannah wrapped her arms around Petey's waist, "I love you cutie." Petey laughed, putting an arm around Hannah's shoulders, "Love you too crazy."

Petey sat quite with his eyes closed. He was still a little unsure of letting the girls dress him up, but he trusted them.

"Hold still Pete," Ivy whined trying to apply the make-up to his face.

"Are you putting mascara on me?"

"Maybe… just hold still and keep your eyes close."

"How are you putting mascara on me if I have my eyes closed?"

"Pete I'm a make-up goddess. I could do this in my sleep, your sleep, Jimmy's sleep, half the town and still have time to learn guitar. Now hold still," Ivy went back to putting on Petey's make-up.

Hannah and Beatrice entered the room. Hannah carried Petey's costume in her hands; Beatrice followed behind holder her cousin Kevin's hand. "Here it is," Hannah smiled.

"B you made it anyway," Ivy asked.

"Yeah, I figured just in case I may as well." Hannah put the costume on her bed, "We should get ready while Ivy finishes up B," Hannah said pulling her costume from the dresser.

"Mine's back in my room, would you mind watching Kevin while I get it Ivy," Beatrice asked.

"Sit there," Ivy pointed toward Hannah's bed, "Hard enough doing Pete's make-up with him squirming around."

"I'll be right back Ivy," Beatrice sighed.

"I'm not mad B, just stressed," Ivy called out after Beatrice. Hannah walked down the hall to the bathroom to change.

"Nice zombie make-up kid," Ivy said as Kevin sat quite on the bed.

"Thank you," he replied quietly. He seemed shy.

"You ready for candy kid," Petey asked.

"Pete please," Ivy whined again.

"Yeah… I guess," Kevin mumbled.

Hannah walked into the room; she was wearing a dull pink t-shirt, a blue leather jacket, dark jeans and black combat boots. "How do I look," she asked.

"Like a dream, I'm done beating his face help him with his wig hon," Ivy said grapping her costume and rushing out of the room.

"Your done what," Petey cried out, "And what wig?!"

"Calm down cutie we have to get you dressed first," Hannah replied ushering Kevin out of the room. "How good at you with getting undressed in the dark?"

"You mean I have to keep my eyes closed?!"

"He looks like a girl," Kevin laughed bumping into his sister on the way out. Beatrice wore a blue suit with a white button down shirt with a burgady tie, red converses and a light brown trench coat.

"I look like a WHAT," Petey cried grapping the hand mirror to look.

"Oh no you don't," Beatrice said rushing to take the mirror from him. "eyes closed."

Petey sighed closing his eyes again. "I don't know how I feel undressing in front of you three."

"Well I wont be watching, I got my own make up to do," Ivy sighed walking back into the room. She was wearing a ragging maids outfit, fishnet stockings, black pumps and a huge, curly red wig.

"Who are you suppose to be," Beatrice asked as Hannah tugged at Petey's slacks.

"Magenta," Ivy answered turning to model her outfit. "…from Rocky Horror Picture Show."

"Strip Pete, damn," Hannah demanded.

"I haven't seen it," Beatrice continued.

"Well lucky for you, there is a midnight showing at the movie theater and I'm paying."

"What about the party?"

"Underwear too Petey who this isn't going to work."

"It's just a bunch of my parents lame friends well have more fun at the mov… GOOD GOD," Ivy exclaimed.

"What, what is it," Petey asked trying to hide his naked body from the girls.

Beatrice laughed as Ivy felt like her eyes were going to pop out of her head. "How on earth are we going to hide that," Hannah whispered to Ivy.

"He's going to have to tuck girlfriend."

"Tuck, tuck what, what are you talking about," Petey begged.

"Hey… how come I have to stand out here," Kevin called from outside the door.

Petey stared at himself amazed, he had been put in a light pink dress that came just below his thighs with multicolored jewels on the only sleeve, and the dress had a white unicorn on it with a pick and blue mane. It had pick and purple frill on either side right above the waist. He was in white tights and furry white boots. He had on a blue, pink and purple wig that matched the mane on the unicorn. The contours of his make-up hid any masculine features; his cheeks were a peach color, lips painted a light pink with blue outlining. His eyes were outlined in black above and a light blue below, his lashes longer than he'd every seen them.

"Perfection," Ivy purred.

"The dress looks amazing B," Hannah complemented, "and it looks so good on him."

"Thanks," Beatrice said fixing the blondish brown wig on her head, "Do I look like David Tennant?"

"What did you three do to me," Petey huffed putting his hands on his hips as he turned to face the girls.

"We turned you from Peter Kowalski to Charlotte Jolie, and you look hot as hell," Ivy answered moving to the door, "now come on it's pushing nine and it's a work out trick or treating though Vale and yes Charlotte your going to the movies like that."

Petey sighed at the thought of stepping out of the room. Hannah tugged at his hand, "You really do you look Petey."

"Uh Ah, tonight her name is Charlotte. If we're doing this we're doing it right," Ivy called to them, "Let's move ladies."

Petey looked around and smiled at all the costumes around him outside the movie theater. Kevin had gotten all round up after they had gotten to Old Bullworth Vale and they ended up taking him around town before he got tired and wanted to go home. Now the four of them stood outside the theater waiting for Ivy to get the tickets.

"Okay girls here we are, you ready for one of the greatest movies every," Ivy asked returning to the crew.

"Ivy were did you get those umbrellas," Beatrice asked.

"Oh, picked 'em up while you guys were dropping off Kev. You're going to need 'em"

"For what," Petey asked.

"Just trust me kids, even in the back row you still get wet," Ivy joked. They walked into the theater and up to the concession stand.

"Hello ladies," They heard. They turned around to see Jimmy walking up with Zoe beside him. Jimmy was dressed in a black t-shirt under a jean jacket that's sleeves had been torn off, tight blue jeans with black biker boots, and a black Elves wig. Zoe had on a gold dancers jacket over a rainbow colored corset, gold short shorts, blue socks and red tap shoes.

"Cute you two, Columbia and Eddie," Ivy commented.

"Two other characters from this movie I guess," Beatrice asked.

"You'll see," Ivy teased.

"And just who is this hottie," Jimmy asked looking at Petey. Petey's heart jumped up into his throat as his face went red. Hannah, Beatrice and Ivy busted out laughing. Zoe punched Jimmy's arm for his comment.

"Jimmy," Hannah sighed catching he breath, "That's Petey."

"Petey," Jimmy jumped in surprise.

"Hi Jimmy," Petey sighed lowering his head.

"Enough chat, let's get our popcorn and head in before all the good seats are taking," Ivy called, "I got to teach you kids the Time Warp before the show starts."

Note: I wasn't really sure if Petey's drag look came across, I tried my best to describe the outfit and make-up, but I must admit I'm not the greatest with descriptions lol =^_^= so to clear up any confusion you can search Jade Jolie on facebook, I was using her as a model for Petey. SPOILERS: I'm thinking of using this queens look for Petey in later chapters so I maybe posting more pics to help out a bit. Happy Reading!
