Halloween In Morganville

Getting Ready

I next morning I woke up with Shane's hand on my stomach. I flipped over and he was already awake.

With a smile, I said "Morning."
"Morning. Sleep good?"
"Of course."

He gave me a kiss. Once again like always my stomach had butterflies. He broke it when there was a knock on the door. It was more of a bang than a knock, so I knew who it was.

"YOU TWO GET UP! NOW!" said Eve.
"We're up!" said Shane.
"Well get downstairs I want you to see something. HURRY before it goes off."
"Ok," Shane and I said together.

We heard her shoes clunking as she runs downstairs.
"I wonder what she wants us to look at." said Shane.
"There's only one way to find out. Get up and come on."

We got up, got dressed and went downstairs. Michael was sitting in his chair with Eve on his lap they had the TV on the local news channel. Shane and I sat down on the couch and started watching.

"Now to our continuing story of the day. The 'Halloween Party' that we have been hearing so much about for the past week and a half, is in fact true. We sat down with Amelie, the founder of Morganville, and talked about the party that will be taking place tonight at the former German's Tire Plant. Some people had thought that it was a hoax. Just some kids playing a prank, but Amelie has confirmed that the following artists/bands will be playing tonight: Cascada, Ke$ha, Lil Wayne, Paramore, Papa Roach and Nickelback. If you are planning to go to this event and are going to drink while there, please be advised that the Morganville Police Department will have all available police officers at the business. So please have a designated driver available to drive you home. The cost of entry is $20 at the door without a costume and $15 at the door with a costume. We will follow up with this story later today and through the night, along with live footage from the party itself. For Channel 3 News I'm Natalie Turner. Have a great night and Happy Halloween!"

We all just stared at the TV with our jaws dropped after the news went off, then I looked at everyone.

"Did that just happen?" I asked.
"Yes." said Shane.
"OHMYGOD!" me and Eve said together.
"Holy Shit!" said Michael.
"Dude this is going to be a KILLER Halloween Party," Shane said.

"You think?" I asked. "Don't answer that I know the answer. Ok, guys, we need to pull it together. Michael, have you talked to Mark about taking the stuff down there?"

"Yeah I've got to meet him in like 30 minutes," he said.

"Ok. I need to call my uncle and see if he is on his way with the speakers and stuff. Someone needs to go check and make sure that everything is the way we kept it last night."

"I'll go I have to pick something up," Eve said.

"Ok, or Michael can go down there since he's gonna have to go anyways."

"Yeah, I can do that," Michael said.
"Ok...well what else do we have to do?" I asked.

"I've got to go pick the bracelets up," Eve said.

"Ok well, you go do that. I'll stay here and call my uncle to see if everything is good. So everyone has something to do."

"No." I heard Shane say. "I don't have anything."

"Yeah, you do. You have to go and make sure Sarah has the beer and stuff." I said with a smile. "Just don't drink while you're there. Save it for tonight with me. K?"

"Fine." he said.
"Ok split," I said.

Eve and Michael went their separate ways. Michael waited for Shane to give him a lift since the bar was near the place. Shane came over to me before he left. He pulled me closer to him and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
