Goth's POV nearly a week later
"So...Any Halloween ideas?"Our friend Shadei asks
"Not sure, still gathering candy to give out."Palette replies
"Isn't Radier going trick or treating?"Niko asks
"Making him the costume as well as helping Gradient with his. Blueprint and Bluescreen are going with Gradient so that's their plans."He replies
"Who takes more work?"Linka asks
"Radier has an idea already and is using his extra arms for the costume so not much to worry about there. He's planning to match with Shino as a Lilo and Stitch duo. I think you can guess which one he is gonna be. Gradient's more picky and an over-thinker so he takes more time to help."He says with a smile
Our friends nod.
"Speaking of pairs, we have been thinking of ideas for each of us."Niko says
"Really?"I ask curiously
Our friends giggle.
"Yessss! We have an idea ssspecifically good for the two of you! You open for sssssuggestionss?"Meelo asks
"Sure..."I say
Palette nods.
"You could be Luz and Amity from the Owl House show! Genderswapped of course unless you're okay wearing skirts!"Niko says
"Huh?"Palette says
My face burns at their suggestion, knowing from Shino exactly who they are.
"A pair of best friends on a fantasy show!"Shadei says
"Ooh!"Palette says
"We could go check out possible outfits after school! I know a good place."Linka says
"Okay, I'm up for that! What about you, Gothy?"Palette asks with a bright smile
"Umm...Sure..."I say
I glance away, feeling my soul speed up at the nickname and his smile.
A few hours later our friends lead us away from school. They lead us to a temple-like building mixed with shopping malls. I see a statue of Mettaton at the top of the pediment, looking down at us.
"Uuh, are we sure about this?"I ask
"Definitely!"Our friends say
"Something wrong, Gothy?"Palette asks
"This is Mettaton's temple...He doesn't get along with my father and his job...And last time my family came in here, my dad got lost and trouble unfolded..."I reply
"Oh come on! It's probably just world views and stuff they disagree on! Your father is focused on life and death while Mettaton has a more....stylized view of things."Niko says
Palette grabs my hand gently.
"If you're afraid of getting lost, I'll stick with you so you don't have to worry."He says
I smile at him and he smiles brightly at me. I feel my face burn.
"Goth is definitely going to be Amity. Just look at his face."Shadei says
We go inside and Palette grips my hand tightly, squeezing it. First they find basic clothes for the costume, giving me multiple layers of formal clothes. Then they give Palette a few layers of costume clothes, including a cape to clip on. We couldn't hold hands anymore and split up as our friends took us to get accessories. They snatch some wings and clip on ears for me.
