I woke up and grabbed the thing that was in my closet. A black latex suit with a red wig. I was confused but put it on. I run downstairs when I hear Billy and Tommy screaming. I shook my head when I saw Pietro playing around with them. 

"Not in the house Pietro." I say when Mom come downstairs.

"Oh, somebody better be bleeding, broken, or on fire!"

"Whoa, Mom! Are you old Red Riding Hood?" Billy asks. Pietro and I laugh.

"I'm a Sokovian fortune teller!" She explains

"Wow. That is so..." Pietro starts.

"Rad!" Tommy interrupts.

"Lame." He finished.

"Lame." Tommy echos and I go to sit on the couch.

"Worse than the costumes your Mom made us the year we got typhus." He explains the story.

"That's not exactly how I remember it." She said.

"You probably suppressed a lot of the trauma." He said to her. "But Y/N's costume looks awesome."

"Thanks, Pietro."

"Uncle Pietro." He tries to correct

"No." I said as the boys sit in front of the coffee table in front of me. Dad comes down.

"Whoa! Sweet costume, Bro-Ham-In-Law! Let me guess, uh... Traffic light. Half-shucked corn. A booger!" Dad sighs.

"Yes." Dad says unenthusiastically. 

"Yes!" He exclaimed. I shook my head.

"Well, thank you for humoring me and wearing this ridiculous get-up, honey." She said.

"Well, there were no other clothes in my closet, so..."

"Yeah, Mom." She looked at me. 

"You are incorrigible, darling! I know you have a thing for Mexican wrestlers." He smiled and I looked at him confused.

"Me gusta mucho."

"Chilli con carne."

"Ooh!"

"That doesn't make sense." I say to them. 

"What do you say, boys? Who's ready for that first hit of high fructose corn syrup?" But the boys and Pietro were too invested in video games.

"Yes! Headlock!" Billy cheered.

"Get out of there! Get out of there!" Pietro said trying to make Tommy mess up.

"You never told me about your brother. I had no idea he'd be so..."

"Go!" He called out and they shotgunned lemon-lime soda.

"Great with kids!"

"He's not." I say. All three of the boys in front of me burped. "Really, y'all? There are other people here."

"Yeah, he's just full of surprises." She said.

"Well, you have fun tonight, darling!"

"Bye, D-," I go to say but Mom interrupts me.

"What? What do you mean? You're all dressed and ready to go." She laughs.

"I'm undercover. Halloween is a bacchanal for adolescent trouble-makers and the neighborhood watch is the only thing that stands between the trees and the toilet paper." He says.

"No, that's not what you're supposed to..." She started.

"What?" Dad and I say. I get up from the couch.
