07: This Is Halloween

It had been a month since Vicki disappeared. Cecilia couldn't focus on her disappearance on top of the school work, the gigs that she had to perform at, her best friend's birthday, Dylan's strange sleeping patterns, and trying not to worry about Damon killing her and her band-mates.

According to Stefan, he and Damon were working together to find Vicki, who everyone thinks was on a bender.

Cecilia wasn't sure why Stefan would work with Damon though, but she guessed that's what works.

She met up with the guys at the tree.

She gave Jack a hug, "Happy birthday, asshole. Here's your present." She handed him a black bag.

"Thanks, bitch," Jack said. He took the bag and took out a plague doctor plushy. He put it back in the bag and gave her another hug.

They joined the others at the tree.

Alex kissed Cecilia.

"Are we going to go to that stupid Halloween party?" Jack asked.

"Don't we a gig tonight?" Dylan asked.

"Oh, yeah," said Alex. "We do. Maybe we can make it."

"Are we going to dress up?" Cecilia asked.

"Why? What are you planning on wearing?" Alex asked.

"Either as a female Chucky from Child's Play or as Wednesday Addams," said Cecilia.

"I'll go as myself," said Jack. "I'm already creepy enough."

"Why not go as a clown? Clowns are terrifying," said Ricky.

"How are clowns scary?" asked Cecilia.

"Their stupid painted faces," said Ricky. "John Wayne Gacy. They're just so irrationally terrifying."

"My irrational fear is spiders," said Alex. "They're just so fucking unnatural. When I was twelve, I once threw myself out of the car because one just descended in front of me. My mom yelled at me because I could've gotten hurt."

"Jesus Christ," Jack said. "You really threw yourself out of a moving car?"

"Yeah, but Sam actually crashed into a tree because he threw himself out of the British side because a spider scuttled in front of him. I guess he thought he didn't need a car that badly," Alex replied. "However, clowns are scary too. It's why I refuse to watch IT. I can't look at spiders or clowns, but if a clown-spider came at me, I'll probably die."

"I hate having the shower curtain closed," said Cecilia. "My worst fear is opening the curtain and the Jonas Brothers are there. I blame Psycho for that one."

"Oh, that's horrifying," said Ricky.

"But really, I hate bridges and overpasses. I have a moment of paranoia that it'll collapse," Cecilia said.

"That's actually valid," Ricky said. "That Mississippi River Bride collapse was horrifying."

"I hate having an arm or leg dangling over the edge of my bed and grabbing me," Cecilia admitted.

"Is that why you sometimes try to sleep on top of me when we share a bed?" Jack asked confused.

"Yeah," Cecilia admitted.

"You guys share a bed?" Ricky asked.

"Yeah," said Jack. "It's not that weird."

"Jeremy did that to me, when my leg went over the edge of the bed. I didn't know he was under the bed and he just grabbed my ankle. I freaked out and cried," Cecilia said.
