Grace POV
The pier was lit up as it always was at this time of night, but on this night it was glowing with partying. We had rented out the pier for the night and with the party buzzing around in their Halloween costumes it was a colorful sight. Spencer, Carson, Skylar, and I, were sitting down at one of the food bars talking. "So Grace, are you ready for tonight?" I sighed, the girls phones had been blowing up, including mine, which I put on do not disturb. "Im ready but im afraid I might punch Hayes in the face." I said stabbing my salad with my fork. "Oh trust me, if you don't I will." Looking up none of the girls had said it but someone behind me had. Blake was however hugging Skylar and someone had snaked there arms around my waist. I knew who it was, id talked to him since I left. "Hey Simone. I don't blame you I mean, its only fair but, see I fully plan on doing it myself." He laughed and hugged me as I stood up. "Guess we will just see Barbie." Tobias was next in line to hug me, and we stood there for a minute or two, "You okay?" He asked with a worried expression. "Never better." I smiled and he studied me before sighing in defeat. "Okay I get it Blakey, Sky's pretty hot but I mean I am your sister."
"Oh shush." He said hugging me with a laugh. "So T, where's Eva?" Sitting back down with the girls I looked at him as he blushed. "She will be here soon, actually." As he said that she came up behind him and gave me a hug before giving him one. "So Kim, looks like Ron finally showed up." Carson, who went along with my Kim Possible theme by dressing up like Shego may I add, was right Simon and I had went on with our costume plan and we looked great. "That is true, and while we are on the subject of this I want pictures before we leave." Everyone nodded in agreement and Tobias I could tell was really wanting to go get on the rides. I don't blame him, it never gets old. "So guys are we ready to go, because um I want to ride the rides." Tobias said with a sparkle in his eye. "Not yet, we're waiting on-."
"Me. Hey babe." Tristan says kissing my cheek. "Yes. Everyone this is Tristan, Tristan this is Tobias, my brother Blake, Eva, and my best friend Simon." He smiled at them as I turned to look at him, he was dressed up as a frat boy and looked totally adorable.

"Now can we go? Please?" You'd think at the age of almost 20 the boy would stop acting like a kid but I don't blame him either. I have my days, who am I kidding im worse then him these days. "Yes T. We can go." And with that we were off, each off us besides Spence who stayed back with Eva and did a little shopping since she couldn't ride and Eva was afraid of heights. Reminds me of Spencer when we were younger, good times. We started with the Sling Shot as we always do, each of us pairing into groups of two. I was with Tristan, Blake with Skylar, Simon with Tobias, and Carson with Baylor, Jack Gilinskys girlfriend who had made it before the guys got here. The rides were as thrilling as normal, but after we had rode them all about twice we had gotten hungry and needed to sit for a little bit. We ate at the dock, hanging our feet over the sides and watching the moon light up the ocean. The party had started at 6 but by now it was around 8 and I think we all knew the guys were going to be here soon, besides, them blowing up our phones every 5 minutes was really helping my time frame. And to add to that they still had one more clue, and had to figure out who we were. Don't know if I mentioned this or not but besides our costumes, we all were wearing masks. So when none of them know your costume and you're surrounded by about 200 other people in masks it should take a few minutes. "Its 8 the DJ is on." Skylar said with a smirk and each of us whooped in response, getting up and making our way to the dance floor.
Hayes POV
The drive to the beach house seemed like it took forever. Especially since half of it was spent with Nash chewing my ass out; the other half was spent with everyone sending me death glares and Aaron holding back Mahogany from clawing my eyes out. So all in all you can put this at the top of my most uncomfortable car rides list. We arrived at the beach house at 7:49 and each of us rushed to my room upstairs. It had to be here somewhere, this would be where she put the clue. But I have to check, the roof was her safe haven, so as good as I know her im sure that's where it is. I was right, I saw the clue as soon as I looked up, it was taped against the side of the house. "Here it is." I said passing it down the the person below me who was Matt. "Its an invitation. To a Halloween party over at the pier, and its going on now. We have to go." Matt said before starting towards the stairs. "Wait there's something else on the back. It says to look inside the drawer beside Hayes' bed, that we will need whatever is in there." Cameron said motioning for Mahogany to open it. "Masks,each with our names on it. This is what she meant when she said that we would have to find her, she's disguised." Mahogany said giving everyone their masks but me. "This one is perfect, I mean even hurt the girl has humor." A chicken mask was pulled out of the drawer, my name attached to the side of it. "No way, not going to happen. There has to be another mask here somewhere." Everyone laughed as I said this making me angry. "There's not, and this is what you're wearing so suck it up you chicken and let's go find Grace." Nash said in a serious tone handing me the mask and escorting me down the stairs and outside. "Now Grace is going to make sure she's surrounded so we will have to split up and look for her. So we need to break out into groups of 3 and look." Taylor pointed out as we reached the pier. It was lit up and people were everywhere, on rides or on the dance floor that had been set up. Nash, Amanda and I were in a group and we chose to check the rides before anything else. So you can imagine we were disappointed when we got a call saying that Matt, Mahogany, and Aaron found her before we did. I knew it was her as soon as I saw her, she looked beautiful, but what hurt was that she was dancing with another guy. Its all my fault.
Grace POV
"Grace its time." Carson whispered in my ear as I danced with Tristan. I knew what she meant but I also knew that they had finally made it, looks like they're just in time for our speech. I didn't tell you this yet but its the twins birthday, as in Spencer and Skylar, so this party is also a birthday party for them. We made our way to the stage and as I looked out at the people in front of me I saw them they stood out to me in the crowd. "Hey everyone!" I said into the mic and everyone let out a cheer. "Now as we kick off this party Id like to thank you for coming." Carson said into her microphone. "And we would also like to wish our two best friends happy birthday!"
"Sky, Spence, we love you!" The walk off of the stage was filled with applause and I watched as the boys and Mahogany walked over to my crew waiting for me. Here we go.
