The Boy Next Door

The Pining Kidge Halloween Story

Lotor didn't consider himself a guy that would still dress up for Halloween. But here he was, trying on weird costumes in front of his four female friends who were being extremely critical.

Ezor jutted her lip out to the side, shaking her head at the costume he was wearing. "Pink is so not your color."

Acxa looked up from her place on his couch, resting her left arm on the armrest and dropping her head on the fist. "Can someone me how this is relevant to the plan again?"
Zethrid shrugged. "I don't know, he just likes being extra."

"I'm right here you know."

"Yeah and you look terrible. If you're going to stick with something, stick with purple. Not pink. It just looks so wrong," said Ezor while shuddering.

Lotor sighed. "Fine. But I must pick an outfit by the end of tonight, since today is Halloween."

"I could be training or stealing candy from a baby."

"Zethrid, I'm not sure mugging a twelve year is 'stealing candy from a baby." Acxa supplied while looking in confusion at Lotor. "Also, Ezor is right. Pink is definitely not your color."

Ezor grinned, turning towards Lotor. "See? I told you! Even Acxa agrees, and she doesn't even dress up for Halloween!"

Acxa rolled her eyes before getting up and stretching. "Yeah okay. Listen, I have things to do and places to be so I can't sit here and watch you try on outfits to impress your girlfriend. No offense though, Lotor. Anyone needs me, I'll be in the basement." She then walked out, Zethrid gritting her teeth with Ezor and Narti looking after Acxa with sullen faces.

"Rude," was the only thing that Ezor said. Narti nodded and Zethrid just groaned, muttering something along the lines of 'this part of the plan is so stupid because I can't blow anything up yet.'

Lotor sighed before turning towards Ezor. "Time is running out. The whole day has practically flown by!"

"Uh, it's only 11 AM."

"Exactly! I just need an outfit that doesn't arouse suspicion."

Ezor frowned. "Lemme get this straight. You want to wear an outfit to blend in so you can stalk Katie?"

"Yes, exactly! But no matter what I pick you four, well three now, go against it."

Ezor opened her mouth and raised her brows.

"Ooh, that's what's up. Why don't you just go as Chat Noir? He's in all black. Plus he's a kitty, and last I heard, Katie loves kitties."

Lotor pondered over it, putting a finger up to his chin. "Perhaps you are right. Show me this Chat Noir outfit."

Upon his request, Ezor showed it to him and while he looked it over she smirked. "Well? What do you think?"

He grinned. "It's perfect. Plus, it matches my skin tone!"

Ezor grinned. "Yep! So now can we go? I think Zethrid is going to combust," she said while glancing at Zethrid who was twitching weirdly and muttering ''boring, too boring.'

Lotor grimaced at the sight of her behavior. "Yes, you may leave now."

"ZETHRID WE'RE FREE!" Ezor called out cheerfully.

"FINALLY!" Was the response and Ezor immediately started laughing before walking out the door after her with Narti shaking her head. She waved goodbye to Lotor before walking out, using her senses other than sight  to make sure she didn't bump into any furniture.

Lotor sighed warily before picking up his outfit, feeling the texture. I should've had suits made out of this material for is. Dammit. He dropped it on his bed before smirking at remembering about his plan and how it was all going to start to unravel after tonight.
