Katelyn's Home. Halloween Eve, 8:30 PM.

With the sun now set, Katelyn was ready for her night out. She already had the controller set and sitting in her matching yellow purse that she'll bring; just in case. Like yesterday, she stared at herself in her mirror and brought the masks together; ready for her Halloween transformation.

She leaned forward and pushed the already-wriggling green mass onto her face. As individual tendrils stretched itself over her head, she kept her hands over her molding face and sensually rubbed her fingers into the quickly softening material; lathering the mask's magic material deep into her pores. The mask sought to: clamp down on her skull, massage her scalp, invade her ears, and tighten around her jawline. Once the tendrils found the back of her skull, Katelyn spun into a twister that lit up her room with green flashes and a series of thunderous applause.

In an instant, she stopped spinning and just looked longingly into her mirror; there stood a female masked Stanley Ipkiss. Her yellow attire had an air of indulgence while her green face screamed of wild decadence. Katelyn bit her forest green lips and struck a pose; with a pedicured hand on her hips and a slight bend of her leg. She felt ready, she felt giddy, but above all she felt oddly free. Free from the unpredictability of her alter-ego. And free from the judgement of others; at least for tonight.

Her phone buzzed and interrupted her mid-thought. "hey meet us at skate park in 5," Danny messaged.

Upon seeing this, she walked out of her bedroom with her yellow purse and headed over to join the rest of her friends.

As she stepped outside, in the cool autumn night, she pondered. "The skate park eh...?"

Then Katelyn had an idea. Stepping onto her lawn, she pulled out a cobalt green skateboard from her blazer's pocket and dropped it onto the pavement. With a hop and a push, she sped into the night with the best protective helmet of all, her magical mask.

Skate Park. Halloween Eve, 8:40 PM.

"Woah! Is that real chainmail?" Malcolm asked, "are you like a knight or something?"

Danny shrugged. When he was with Maria, they would be in complementing outfits like: a cowboy and cowgirl or even Khaleesi and Jon Snow. This year, he didn't know what to wear and just bought whatever was left at Spencers.

"Hey who's that?" Tiffany asked. The group directed their gaze towards the park's entrance and saw a bright green skateboard ollie off a handrail and roll towards the teens. The figure got off the board and walked towards the group; who were standing under a street lamp. The figure approached, tilted her green head, and exposed her green and yellow cosplay to the group.

"Oh my god..." Danny said in horror; it was the green-faced lady. Danny took a step back and swallowed hard.

"Hi guys," Katelyn said in her normal voice, "it's me Katelyn!"

Danny grew even more confused. Even though she looked similar to the green-faced chick he met before, she didn't have the same sultry voice.

There was a pregnant pause as the group just continued to look at her; both in stock and in awe.

Malcolm then broke the silence, "Oh hey! Girl~ you're looking fine tonight. What you dressed up as?"

Katelyn cleared her throat and said, "I figure... I'd dress up like someone from a movie... Stanley Ipkiss from..."

"Oh yeah! From that mask movie." Malcolm tilted his head, "... wow. You really committed to the bit."

Katelyn blushed through her mask. "Thanks. Where's this party anyway?"
