The Girl With The Flamethrower

II.II.I

"Kimmy!" Dustin shouts running into her room. "What do you think?"

She laughed and sat up, "It's perfect. And the blaster did you actually get it to open and close?"

"I did! Look!" He demonstrated.

She got up to give him a high five, "Nice!"

He very quickly returned it.

"Seriously you guys are going to be the best dressed ones at school," Kimberly chuckled. "Everyone is dressing up, right?"

"Yeah, of course they are... I mean they did last year so obviously they would this year, right?"

"I mean make sense to me. I'd dress up if I could, but sadly this is your last year to kiddo. No one in high dresses up."

"I know," Dustin groaned, "That's why it had to be good!"

"Except it's not good," Dustin's face fell, "It's great! And all four of you together is going to be ever better!"

"Don't do that Kimmy, you almost had me."

She laughed and ruffled his hair. "Come on, we gotta get to school. You taking your bike?"

"Yeah, we are all showing up and walking in together to maximze the awesomeness."

"Well you better get going, Mom's going to want some pictures before you head out. Oh and fully expect me to ransack your candy when I get home. I want your sour candies."

"You can have a few of them, but not all of them. And no touching my three musketeers!"

"I know those are off limits. But get me some sour gummy worms and I won't be forced to go after the nougat."

Dustin just shook his head and walked out of her room, Kimberly following after him.

"Oh Dusty! You look incredible!" Their mom gushed, and held up her camera. Dustin grins and goes to pose, Kimberly grinning watching her brother.

Their mom snaps a picture, "Great. Hold up the proton blaster." Another one, "All right, now turn to the light. Oh! I want to see those pearls. Yeah!" She takes another one, and Mews meows making Kimberly pick her up. "Who you gonna call?"

Dustin and Kimberly laugh as their mom briefly sings the song.

Kimberly was humming "Dancing in the Moonlight" when Eddie fell in step with her.

"It must be a Halloween miracle, Eddie Munson showing up to school two days in a row?" Kimberly smirked at him, and stopped to open her locker.

Eddie laughed, "Oh don't you worry, I have a few deliveries to make before tonight so I'm not staying long, but I wanted to give this to you as a thank you for writing my outline." He handed her a bag of sour gummy worms.

Kimberly gasped in excitement, but paused, "Wait are these regular gummy worms or Eddie gummy worms?"

Eddie just winked at her and turned around, heading for the exit.

"Eddie? Eddie!" She groaned out in frustration.

Billy walked up from behind her, before unlocking his own locker, "Problem locker neighbor?" He turned his head and winked at her.

"No, well yes, but no." She sighed and stared at the bag.

"Did someone try and pull a trick with those worms you've got there or are you debating about pulling a cheat day and actually having one?"
