"Speaking of eye patches, death plans and creepy" interrupted Hardison. "You guys know what's next Monday, right?"

Eliot facepalmed. " Oh God, no!"

Instead Parker's eyes lit up. "Halloween! We so need to dress up this year,"

"I don't think…" tried to interrupt Nate but in vain.

"Last year we didn't really celebrate" she scowled.

"Where were we?"Sophie inquired.

"Don't you remember? The dagger job and then we went to London." She paused. "Although I did get to play dead soon after. That was cool, can I do it again?"

"No more dead people in my bed" Nate warned.

"I like the idea of dressing up" Hardison prompted.

"I don't" Eliot grumbled.

"Oh, but you will!"

"And who's gonna make me, you?"

"Yes, if you don't want me to spill a little secret of yours."

"You wouldn't!"

"Secret? What secret?" Sophie asked eagerly.

"Hardison, I'm going to kill you!" Eliot threatened .

"Seriously, what does he have on you?" Parker whispered.

"Nothing, nothing. Let's just think of these stupid costumes."

"You know I'm not going to dress up and Hardison has nothing on me"

"Nate, don't be such a party-pooper" Sophie reprimanded him. "Hardison might not have power over you, but I do. And you know what my weapon is" she smirked.

Nate sighed. "Okay, but nothing too fancy or ridiculous"

"I want to try something sexy!" Sophie said with a dreamy look.

"How about cat woman?"

"We don't' want to hear about your weird cat woman fantasy, Hardison?" Eliot shouted.

"Since we're a team why not a group costume." Parker suggested. "Oh, I know, The fantastic Four!"

"Slightly problem there Parker. Fantastic Four. As in four and we are five."

"Oh yeah" She frowned.

"The A-team?"

"No way" Sophie refused. " They were all men. Plus, still four"

"That's unfortunate. I could see myself as Hannibal" Nate sighed.

"Eliot would make a perfect Baracus" Hardison added "He grunts like him!"

Eliot grunted.

"What about that movie we saw the other day? The one with the baldy man?" Parker asked.

"You mean the x-men?"

"Yes! Nate could be Professor X and I could dress up as Mystique"

"You know she goes around naked, right Parker?"

"So?"

Hardison turned red. "Oookay… What about…"

"No Star Trek, Hardison!" Eliot stopped him.

"But it's a classic." He whined "You would look good with pointed ears!"

They were silent trying to think of something,

"I've got one!" Nate shouted suddenly. "The Addams family!"

"Cool!"

Sophie liked the idea. "I could dress up as Morticia. That's sexy enough!"

"And I would be Gomez. All we have to do is make out all the time" Nate added smiling.

"That's gross, but I kind of like the idea!"

"What could I be?"

"Parker, you could be Wednesday!"
"Nate and Sophie's daughter?" she shrugged. "Okay, that could do."

"What about me?" Hardison asked.

"I know…" Eliot answered smirking. "… Grandmama!"
"Very funny, Cousin Itt!"

Parker laughed but Eliot just growled.

"You've already got the hair for it!"

"Hardison, I'm so going to punch you!"

"Hardison will be Uncle Fester and Eliot Lurch!" Nate exclaimed.

"What?" Hardison and Eliot both shouted.

"It's settled! Let's go steal us some Halloween costumes!" He got up from his chair.

"Hmm, Nate? It's nearly midnight!" Sophie stopped him.

"Oh, we'll go tomorrow!"

"It's going to be a great Halloween!" Parker exclaimed and she started singing the Addams family song.

DU RE DU DU *SNAP OF FINGERS* DU RE DU DU *SNAPS OF FINGERS*

"Parker!" Everybody else shouted.
