"You invited Griff!?"
There was a stunned silence, one which Moon felt uncomfortable in as she shifted hesitantly in her high tops; "well..." she began to explain to Skylar's obvious dissatisfaction at her revelation. "I mean we're all going to the Halloween party, and he mentioned he wasn't doing anything tonight..."
"Let me guess he said it was lame and wouldn't be seen dead in fancy dress?" Freya asked scathingly.
"Yeah but you know that's just because he really wants to go and hasn't been invited..." Moon was slightly hesitant as she defended him.
"Well he'll have to dress up," Eve stated matter of factly, sniffing slightly with disapproval and pouting before adding dramatically, "Or he'll ruin the night."
It wouldn't have mattered in the slightest, but no one argued and Moon figured that they were going to make him at least uncomfortable if he was coming. Freya sighed and stood up, throwing her magazine to the side in defeat, "Come on Moon let's go see if we can't make something in a day, I'm sure Susie will give us a hand."
Susie was the tour seamstress, if anyone could make Griff a Halloween costume in such short notice it was her, at least they'd have to hope so. Moon followed the taller girl from the room, "Skylar took it worse than I thought..." she mumbled.
Freya, aware of the crush and history between the two of them simply shrugged, "Ah it's okay, it's not like Skylar will remember anything two jugs of Mama Juana down, and Griff can be okay once he's had a couple of beers and forgets that he's Griff."
The brunette giggled before asking, "What do you think about a costume for him?"
Freya grinned rather wickedly, "You'll see."

"You expect me to wear what!?" Griff's mouth hung open, his face almost as red as his hair as he scowled at Freya who was leaning against his desk expecting the outburst. She reached over and grabbed a hold of his jacket and pulled him towards her glaring at him, "Listen here you ass, if it weren't for Moon being nice and seeing god knows what in you, you wouldn't even have been invited and would be spending a lonely evening in. So for once, suck it up and appreciate the favour she's done you, being nice to her for the evening wouldn't go amiss either."
Griff gave Freya his signature pout and snarled, "I suppose you think this is hysterical."
"Well it sure as shit isn't sad," Freya answered letting him go to reach down to her feet, "Susie and Moon spent a lot of time making sure this was perfect for you, and you'll match us... with your icy personality I can't think of anyone else better to don a beard and go as the Ice King. We leave at eight so make sure you're ready."
With a final wave a smirk, Freya left the room, leaving Griff to ask himself why he said he would go in the first place.

Griff had to hand it to Moon; she had put thought into his outfit rather than simply slinging him in a blue dress. He had a blue dress shirt and a pair of stonewashed denim jeans to go with his wig, beard, nose and crown. He had never seen Adventure Time, nor did he have any aspirations to do so, and the only thing he knew was that Ty had spent most of the past week unable to stop messing about with his prop sword.
There was a knock on the door and Griff strode towards it, pulling it open and was met by someone he almost recognised, "Uhh," he said stupidly, dumbstruck as he stared down at the girl in his doorway.
"Hey! I came to check you were getting ready okay!" Moon said cheerfully sweeping past him and into his lavish and well kept bedroom. She plopped herself down uninvited onto his bed and beamed up at him as he closed the door, "it suits you!"
