The next few days came and went quickly as did most of October. Lots had happened after the field trip. Spencer actually had friends now. He didn't hate Billy as much as he thought he would and once he put aside all the horrible thoughts and impressions they became good friends. Shanilla and Rajeev started coming to the computer lab, much to Spencer's dismay, but reluctantly he dealt with them and eventually they all became friends. Of course there were awkward silences, accidental insults and usage of the wrong words, but all the best friendships started that way.

October was a busy month for Billy and Spencer. Spencer was done giving Billy his "tour" and got his Two A's, but there was also a project they, along with Shanilla and Rajeev, had to work on. Billy had many meetings and other famous people business to deal with, while Spencer worked on a short film for the autumn film competition. Not to mention there was Billy's Halloween party that needed to be planned, so there was really no free time for either of the day of the party was coming up so at least they'd have a little break from "work", except for one problem, Billy's party was on the same night as "Hunted" came out. Maybe he could do both.?

Spencer arrived at the party, with Shanilla and Rajeev, a few hours late. It was Friday and the party'd be going on all night anyways, so no harm in being late right.?

Loud music, the smell of food and lots of Halloween decorations adorned the house. Billy's house was big, it probably cost 2 fortunes, if that was even a thing, Spencer thought.

Inside was bigger though. There were hundreds of teens, teens that didn't all go to Beverly Beverly, Spencer thought. He didn't recognise any faces, but there were some cute faces. If only Spencer wasn't so awkward, he'd go talk to some girls, but he was, so he kept quiet.
"Good thing Shanilla and Rajeev are here." Spencer thought relieved.
As if on queue, Rajeev disappeared from Spencers view into the crowd.
"At least I have Shanilla," he corrected.

Shanilla wasn't popular, but she wasn't shy either, she was just quiet and kept to herself in big crowds, she never liked to be the center of attention, but she did like to talk. She was interesting so there never really were any awkward silences between them. She and Spencer decided they'd go sit outside, away from everyone else. It was cold and everyone wanted to stay warm, but if you ask them it was actually too hot inside and Billy's backyard was very pretty.

Meanwhile Billy and Rajeev were in Billy's living room playing "Truth or Dare".

"Hey Billy, mind daring Lolo to kiss me." Rajeev whispered with a wink.
Billy was quiet for a while, trying to remember who Lolo was.
"Ohhh, totes." he answered with a thumbs up after finding her.
So he did, when it was Billy's turn he dared Lolo to kiss Rajeev. And though she didn't want to, she also didn't want to be the loser wimp that chickened out, to make matters worse, she'd be chickening out on Billy Joe Cobras dare, so there was a lot going for her, so, reluctantly, she went over and kissed Rajeev on his cheek, causing him to squeal like a little girl.

Lolo wasn't done though, she couldn't be mad at Billy, but she could get him back, and that's exactly what she did when her turn came.
"I dare Billy, to kiss…" She paused, looking for some weirdo, and then she spotted him, the guy dressed as a zombie, err, werewolf,… Thing, (a.k.a. Spencer)
"Him." She continued pointing at the weirdly dressed kid. Billy looked at her with a goofy smile and went to work his magic, except the guy he tapped on the shoulder was Spencer not some random stranger.

"Spence.!" Billy almost yelled, pulling his smaller friend into a hug. Reluctantly Spencer hugged back.
"You made it, I thought you'd flaked." He continued.
"Well I didn't have anything better to do, and I couldn't just say I was gonna come and not show." Spencer explained with a smile.
At this point Billy had forgotten the reason he'd been over there in the first place, he was focused on Spencer.
"So how d'ya like casa de Billy.?" He asked.
"Uhh, I take French," Spencer joked. Causing them both to giggle.
"Haha, but its nice, really big, though you could use better decorations, scarier, spookier, bigger." He continued.
"Of course…" Billy said nervously.
"Maybe some big spiders, zombies, fake blood," He teased. Knowing it'd make Billy scared.
"Hah… Yea, speaking of that what's with your costume bromeo.?" Billy asked changing the subject.
"Ohh this, yea, tonight Hunted comes out tonight, and if you dress like a totally hybrid creature you get in for free." He explained.
"Oh, you're leaving.?" Billy asked, sounding more miserable than he'd wanted.
"Yea, but I can stay for about another hour, movie doesn't start til 8:50 and you do live close to the theatre." He avowed, sensing the disappointment in Billy's voice.
"Oh…, well why dont you come play games with us.?" Billy asked, perking up.
"Shoot, no. Actually, Shanilla and I were just about to go trick or treating, I just came to find Rajeev." Spencer recalled suddenly.
"Oh." Was all Billy said. He'd thought he actually made friends, but they were doing stuff without him, leaving him out, just like always, and yea it kinda hurt. He'd thought being Billy Joe Cobra and all this stuff would never happen. Maybe he was wrong.

"You can come too if you want, I just, just figured you'd be really busy with your party and all, that you wouldn't have time for this stuff y'know." Spencer explained nervously.
"O-okay, yea." Billy said with a small smile.
Spencer followed Billy up an elevator to a medium sized bedroom. The walls were bare with pretty blue paint, except for one which had tons of other stuff, like celebrities, and dumb cartoons.

"Woah, you like Trekkars War.?" Spencer asked seeing lots of pictures from the show.
"Pfft, what no, now come help me find a costume." He scoffed, changing the subject.
Spencer smiled, shaking his head, but went over to help Billy with his costume.

Billy didn't have much so they had to work with pretty much nothing and Billy ended up being some weird rich guy with a clown wig and a masquerade mask.

"So how do I look.?" Billy asked once everything was on.
"You definitely look like Halloweenie." Spencer pointed out.
"Ugh, what if people see me like this…" Billy mumbled looking into the mirror.
"Its okay, you can't even tell its you." Spencer assured patting him on the shoulder.

They went out to hunt down Shanilla, who was dressed as a fairy robot alien, and Rajeev, who was dressed as a vampire with cat ears, nose and tail. They grabbed a few plastic bags from Billy kitchen and left out through the back.

They went trick or treating all around Billy's neighbourhood. They must've gathered about 100 pieces of candy each that night and then it was time for the movie.

"We can't go into the theatre with all this candy…" Spencer sighed.
"Oh yeah… i never thought about that…" Shanilla agreed.
"No worries Bromigos, we can put the candy in my room and then get it later when we come back." Billy assured.
"Oh so you're actually coming to the movies with us.?" Rajeev asked doubtfully.
"Of course, why wouldn't I." Billy asked curiously.
"This is Hunted, y'know, really scary monster hunting movie." Rajeev explained.
"Ohoho. Yea. Yea. I mean. Its a, a free movie so uh, why not right.?" Billy chortled nervously.

The four of them stood outside, in Billy's back yard while Billy went in to put the candy in his room for safe keeping. And then they were off to the cinema. The theatre was pretty packed but luckily there were some empty seats.

The four of them piled in, first Shanilla then Rajeev then Spencer and last was Billy. They went and got food and then sat in their 3D glasses waiting for the movie to start.

After a few minutes of previews the words "Hunted" appeared on the screen along with mysterious music. The movie starts in on William, a normal 17 year old who starts getting mysterious letters in the mail leading him to 3 other kids at his school that were also receiving mysterious notes. Jenna, a senior, Amberly, a freshman, and Simon, a sophomore. They had to go on multiple quest and solve multiple puzzles and riddles or they'd be turned into a mutant creature. It was much more interesting and scary than it sounded.

Spencer noticed Billy was scared and offered him his hand with taunting smile. He hesitated but took Spencers hand in his, occasionally rubbing and squeezing it when he got scared.

Once the movie was over it was about 10:55. They had to go back to Billy's, they'd be getting picked up at 11:15. Billy was still holding onto Spencers hand tightly once they left the theatre.
"You still scared.?" Spencer asked.
"No w-way bromeo. The Cobra doesn't get scared. I've said this like 50 times" Billy said quickly. But despite his claims he didn't let go of Spencers hand until they got back to his house.

Obviously, the party was still going on when they got back.

"Uhh, Billy.?" Spencer called out as they walked up the stairs.
He didn't hear over all the music and talking.
"Billy.?" He called out again louder.
"You say something bromeo.?" Billy asked after a few seconds.
"Yea uhm-" Spencer started.
Billy held up a finger and opened his bedroom door.
"What were you saying bro.?" He asked closing the door.
"My hand's asleep." Spencer responded gesturing to their hands.
"Ohhhhh.! Sorry dude." Billy apologised letting his hand go.
"I mean I understand you were scared, but.." Spencer trailed off.
"Hey, I wasn't scared, I was just.. I was just nervous." He denied.
"Mmhmm, so you mean to tell me the movie had no affect on you whatsoever.?" Spencer questioned.
Billy nodded, slowly backing up until he hit the wall.
"Not even the zombies.? Or vampires.? Or ghost.?" He teased walking closer to Billy.
"O-of course not." Billy stuttered avoiding eye contact. "Hmmph…" Spencer groaned doubtfully.
"Face it bro, The Cobra doesn't get scared." He gloated stepping behind Spencer.
Spencer narrowed his eyes and turned towards Billy."Mmhmm, so next time you hold my hand, it'll be because you want too and not 'cause you're scared.?" He asked.
"Totes." Billy assured

Spencer stood there staring at Billy doubtfully. That's when Billy remembered the dare, he remembered that it was because of that dare that he'd saw Spencer and if he hadn't been dared none of this would've probably happened. And then he wondered what would've happened if he would've kissed him.
He noticed Spencers brown eyes soften into a confused look. And before he realised it he was kissing Spencer.
HE was kissing Spencer.
He was kissing Spencer.?

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Spence, my dads here." Called a familiar voice, it was Shanilla.

Billy quickly pulled away clearing his throat. He grabbed the bags of candy, the item they were originally up there for, and handed them to Spencer muttering "See ya"
"Mmhmm" Spencer mumbled subconsciously

They both tried not to think about what had just happened but they couldn't, so they decided they wouldn't bring it up unless the other did. And neither of them ever did say anything so the issue was of the past.
