Halloween

Halloween used to be one of Rose's favorite holidays. Back in New York, one of her favorite costumes was to dress up as superheroes with her own powers so she could discreetly use them.

But now all the 'horror' doesn't scare her. Nothing does anymore. Not since living in the Upside Down. So no, Halloween wasn't her favorite anymore. But she'll try for the night.

She grabs an outfit that will resemble her costume for the party that night and puts it on. The outfit is basically all black other than her necklace.

"I'm leaving now." she says as she passes Jonathan taking pictures of Will in his Ghostbuster outfit.

"Why?" Jonathan asks.

"To steal Hargrove's spot before he gets there." she says. "If he gets to ruin my free time, I get to ruin his parking space."

He laughs and waves her off. She goes out to her car, once again playing her favorite song, then heads to school. When she gets there, she sees her friends already in the parking lot.

"Hey." she says, getting out of her car to sit beside Nancy on the hood of the car while Steve is pacing. "What's up with Steve?"

"Hargrove." she answers bluntly.

"What about him?" Rose asks.

"Anything and everything Ro." Nancy sighs. "Anything and everything."


TIME SKIP


At home, Rose goes to her room to get into her costume.

Felicia Hardy or the Black Cat

Ever since her hair turned white, the party started calling her Black Cat, so she figured it was fitting.

She puts on a black leather body suit that is low cut, a black bedazzled choker, and matching black boots before going over to her vanity. She draws on the mask with mascara then stands back to look at the finished product.

"Hell yeah." she laughs before walking out.

"Felicia Hardy!" Will shouts as she walks into the living room.

"Oh?" Joyce says, looking up. "Rose?"

"What, she has white hair." she shrugs, grabbing her keys. "Alright, I'm off mom."

"Where to?" the older woman asks.

"A party." she says. "Thought you said you wanted me to be a teenager?"

"I d- You know what?" she says. "Go enjoy yourself Rose."

The girl smiles and walks outside to her car. She drives over to Tina's house, knowing where she lives, and parks her car a good distance away. She walks up to the house, getting stares from other students along the way.

She walks up to the door to chanting.

"Billy! Billy! Billy!"

She opens the door to Billy and Tommy walking over to Steve, who is right in front of her.

"We got ourselves a new keg king, Harrington." Tommy teases.

"Oh do we now?" Rose says, scaring all three of them. "Didn't think you'd have it in you Hargrove, I'll give you that."

Said boy looks her up and down as she's talking, eyes stopping on her chest. Steve notices and drags her over to the kitchen where Nancy is.

"Hey whoa, whoa!" Steve says, letting go of the girl's hand to focus on his girlfriend. "Take it easy."
