"Playboy bunnies!" Dick said, doing jazzhands.

"Playboy bunnies." Philip said, raising an eyebrow. The two were in 1st-hour, history class. The bell had just rang, but the class hadn't officially started yet.

"Yes. Playboy bunnies. Let's end highschool as legends for following children." Dick said, leaning across his desk and onto Philip's desk to pout at him.

"Get off my desk you lanky piece of work." Philip said, shoving at Dick half-heartedly "And something tells me being memorable isn't your only reason for wanting to do this."

"I want to equal out the dress code." Dick said, sitting back in his seat.

"How so?"

"I've checked the dress code multiple times, girls can't wear things like playboy costumes, but there's nothing against guys wearing them. I want everyone to be equal."

"Sometimes I forget your mom raised you to be better than you behave."

"Being raised by a single-mom, lesbian, woman of color has it's quirks." Dick said, tilting his head lightly and shrugging.

"Your mom is the best."

"Of course she is; she raised me, after all."

"So where are we getting these costumes?" Philip asked, lowering his voice as their teacher started the lesson.

"I know people, I know places."

"That sounds kinda shady."

"It is shady. Also, if anyone asks, don't tell them what we're going as. And if you have to, just say bunnies. Wouldn't want the word getting out."

"Whatever you say, Dick."

The hour passed quickly, and so did the rest of the day. Soon Philip was at after-school theater practice.

"Hey, Philip, what are you going as for Halloween?" A freshman named Alice Jasmine asked, slacking off on painting the castle for their production of Aladdin that they would preform in the spring.

"It's a secret." Philip said, smiling at her. Alice Jasmine blushed slightly.

"Come on Philip!" She asked, tugging at his sleeve. "Are you going as Aladdin? I mean, you are playing him in the Musical." She gestured loosely to the castle she was supposed to be painting.

"I'm not supposed to say..." Philip said.

"Please tell me! I want to know!"

Philip grinned at her. "A bunny."
