"The camera. Anyway Halloween is also about scaring people, but mostly the candy."

Tommy said before turning back to the camera, causing Inez to laugh.

"Right again, little man. It's also about pranking people."

Inez also added, Tommy quickly nodded, he agreed with what Inez had just said, as Alice shook her head at her girlfriend chuckling slightly. As Tommy got the milk out of the fridge to put in his cereal.

"Where's your costume, Tommy?"

Both Alice and Billy asked their brother at the same time, as they noticed that the boy was dressed in regular clothes.

"This is my costume. I'm the cool sibling ."

Tommy told Billy and Alice, causing Inez to erupt with laughter.

"Sick burn, Toby."

Inez said as she hi-fived the boy, who had quickly given up on getting her to get his name right, Alice just letting out a sigh as she looked at Inez.

"What does that make me?"

Billy asked his twin brother, Tommy looking at Inez, the pair coming to a non verbal agreement.

"A dorksaurus Rex."

They said at the same time, earning a small laugh out of Alice, Billy wasn't the most coordinated or cool boy but they loved their brother nevertheless.

"Not a real dinosaur."

Billy told Tommy and Inez further proving the point they were making when they said that. The boys then moved to eat their food on the couch but their "uncle" was asleep on it, Inez grabbing a bowl of cereal and watching what was going to happen from the kitchen doorway.

"You guys didn't have to change him much."

Alice whispered in Inez's ear as she too came to watch what was going to happen, Inez chuckling a little at her girlfriend's comment.

"Man. He even snores cool."

Tommy exclaimed as the twins remain standing, Inez eating a spoonful of her cereal, as they essentially watched a show in real time.

"I'm gonna go wake him up."

Tommy said, which caused Inez to sort of laugh, causing milk to come out her nostrils, which in turn caused Alice to laugh.

"Don't!"

Billy whisper yelled at his brother, as he looked back at his sister and her girlfriend for a second.

"You've got milk coming out of your nose."

Alice said with a bit of a laugh as she grabbed a napkin for Inez to use for her nose.

"I know."

Inez told her girlfriend as she noticed the man on the couch had woken up and was only pretending to be asleep.

"You scared?"

Tommy teased his brother the pair, blissfully unaware that the man was listening to them.

"He's our uncle. Why would I be scared?"

Billy then asked his brother, Inez biting her lip so she wouldn't laugh at what the boy had just said.

"'Cause it's four o'clock in the afternoon. And you're secretly afraid he's a vampire."

Tommy said, both the boys having taken their eyes off the man, but Inez and Alice hadn't so they saw the man start to move.

"No, I'm not."

Billy said in defence, Inez chuckling as she had another spoonful of her cereal.

"Yes, you are."
