October 31st. Halloween
I like most holidays but halloween is by far my favorite of the bunch. Costumes, candy, friends. What's there not to like? Oh yeah... drugs, needles, poison. There are alot of effed up people out there. Remember, kids. Count your candy before your mum takes it to check. AND I'D ADVISE NOT TO EAT ANYTHING IN 1 BTW. Regardless of my rant/psa for the three of you that are reading this story, I should probably get into the actual fun part
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok guys, get your costumes on! Xander can go first." Says Oma with a huge smile on her face.
Oh yeah, that's me and xander's Oma. Don't get it twisted, me and xander are not related. Shes not my real grandma, I just call her my Oma because she's great and makes great food.
"Alright Oma" Xander says. He walks down the steps to the basement as me, marc, and Jordan sit on the couch and wait
"What do you think he's gonna be" marc asks
"It's probably gonna be a robot" Jordan says
"It's always a robot with xander" I say
"To be fair, when he was 1 he dressed as a pumpkin" said dad
Oh yeah that's dad, not my dad, xander's dad. He's excellent. I call all of his family members by what he calls them and he does the same with mine.
"To be fair, he knew nothing about robots or how to talk then" Mom replied with a snarkiness in her tone and received a high five from Jordan.
"So he's gonna be a robot?" Marc asked, confused
"No, he's gonna be a unicorn" Jordan replied
"He told me he was gonna be a princess" I say
"ok, I get it. He's gonna be a robot" Marc replied
Just then, xander walked out into the living room in his costume. He had really outdone himself this year. He had full chrome body paint on along with a red eye contact with some awesome face paint. He also had his hair covered in what seemed to be temporary dye and hair glitter. So he was super shiny. His candy bag was a pillow case he had spray painted chrome to look like spare plating. "How do I look" said the fabulous XanderBot 12.0
"Like a try hard" Jordan said and I busted out laughing
I wipe a tear and reply with "you look like a tin can had plastic surgery" and we all laugh
"I dunno, he looks alot more like a blender" marc jokes
"You look wonderful" Oma says
"You've outdone yourself this year, Xander" says Opa
"All joking aside, you look great" says Jordan
"XanderBot has updated to IoS 12" I reply, taking a sip of my spiced apple cider
"Sleek design, fast processing. I give this product 4.5 stars" says marc
"Thanks, now I believe it is the Jordan's turn" xander replies
"Yea, Yea." Jordan says as she slides down the railing into the basement
We all remain silent and say nothing about Jordan because nobody wants to get dropped. Not even Xander has anything to say for the 20 minutes it takes her to get ready.
She eventually reappears in all grey body paint with accent on the face to make her look gaunt. A white dress with lots of frills and hanging fabric and she has her black hair in a high bun secured by more hangey white fabric. Her nails are painted black with white skulls on each nail. She also has long white fingerless gloves that go halfway up her bicep. "I already know I look good so don't bother telling me" she says as she sits down on the couch
"That is an excellent dress, Jordan" Oma comments anyway
"Thank you Oma" she replies "and now it's Marc's turn"
"Alright" he says as he runs down to the basement
"What do you think Marc will be?" I ask
"No idea. You never do know with marc" says Xander "The inner machinations of his mind are an enigma"
"Eh, he's probably gonna be a swamp zombie of some sort" Jordan says, picking at her nails and putting on black lipstick
"Marc always has been very confusing" replies Dad "He once put chapstick on a pickle and said it tasted like unicorn sweat"
"I thought it was unicorn pee" says mom
"It was sweat" xander replies with a sigh
"Are you serious" I say, laughing
"Completely" Jordan says
Marc walks out in pale blue body paint and his hair messed up and sprayed black. He added contour lines around his eyes and face to make him look like a corpse. He had plastic chains on his arms and legs along with ragged old timey clothes with green tints to look like algae. "Well, how is it" marc asks "Talk to me"
"Told you he was gonna be a swamp zombie" Jordan says
"How could you have guessed that?" Xander replies, puzzled
"Because I'm boss like that" Jordan replies
"You look great, Marc" I say "now it's my turn"
I get up and roll down the stairs into the basement. I start by putting on black jeans and a white short sleeved dress shirt. I put on a violet cloak with a red jewel set in the clasp. I brush my hair and put on a golden crown with red and black jewels set into it. "Vampire prince is ago" I say, drawing the blade blood magic seal and pulling out a sword with yet another red gem set into it. I walk up the stair and stand before my fellow candygoers "What do you think" I say with a smile
"I think nothing changed" Jordan says
Marc laughs "you can't go trick or treating as yourself, Gabe"
"You're breaking the rules bro" xander says
"What do you m- I AM NOT A VAMPIRE" I scream
"Whatever you say" Jordan says
"Don't deny who you are" marc says
"Stop denying your culture" xander says
"C'mon guys, cut him some slack" Oma says "You did a wonderful job on the costume, gabriel"
"Thank you Oma" I say as I sit down and put my sword in its sheath on my back "when will we go?"
I look at the clock and it's 7:52
