Remember Me?

Screams bouncing off the walls

It's Halloween, and like always in the Dexter house we're preparing for our favorite holiday of the year. We lived and breathed Halloween, it was something all of us loved and the only time a year when Emma and mum weren't arguing and got along. But this year something wasn't right, Emma was chipper and actually loving life. Tony had met our parents the day after he stayed after that party, but of course there was doubt in my mother's eyes. When she saw the bruises and cuts she set her lips in a straight line and had it there until he left, and of course when Emma came back into the room they went at it. But even with her screaming Emma kept a smile on her face and talked rationally the whole time, I of course was on the couch and was laughing at Emma's rebellion against our mum.

Our mother couldn't ruin Emma's happiness because I told her of my approval of Tony and her screams almost deafened me. But today was different, Tony was coming over to our annual Halloween party and Emma couldn't have been happier.

This year me and Emma were going as Mario and Luigi since we always dress up together, but to top it off Tony said he had a surprise for us.

 "What do you think it is?" Emma asked as I fixed her mustache, even though our outfits were dresses and were tight girl versions of Mario and Luigi I still wanted the mustaches and Emma agreed.

  "What Tony? I don't know I'm still questioning. But don't worry he'll be here soon."

She huffed and went to put on her hat, I felt weird in the dress but Emma and I always took turns on the outfits and this time was hers. As I inched the bloody thing down the door bell rang, it was only seven thirty the party didn't start until eight so it had to be Tony.

 "I've got it!!" Emma yelled as she ran down the stairs me in tow, she yanked the down open and I swear my whole life of funny moments couldn't make up for this one moment. Me and Emma both burst out laughing because there before us stood Tony all cute in a Princess Peach outfit even with a blonde wig, so this was his surprise!

 "Okay okay laugh it up that's what I got it for." He smiled shutting the door behind him.

 "Oh my god this is way beyond anything you could have ever done!!!" I laughed.

Emma started snorting and tried to cover it but that only made us laugh louder, I guess we were making too much noise because in walked Cory decked out in his Chucky costume.

 "Emma get up I can see your thong." He said and Emma immediately stopped laughing and leaped up pulling her skirt down.

Her face flushed red, "It's not a thong!!"

 "Not a thong my ass."

I gawked, "Cory language you know better."

He just shrugged and went back to the living room, Emma twirled her hair around her finger and sighed, "I hate that little turd come on let's go see how the living room is looking."

We both followed her as I played with Tony's fake blonde wig, before we could make it into the living room my mum walked in front of us, "Hello girls, Tony good to see you...again."

 "Nice to see you too Mrs. Dexter." He scratched the back of his neck as she looked all of us up and down.

 "Your costumes are interesting, are you really going to wear that to your father's job party?" My mum asked and we all looked at her confused.

 "Mum what are you talking about?" I asked.

She looked down at her phone then back at us, "Oh right I forgot to tell you girls we're not having your party this year."

We both gawked at her and screamed, "What!? But this is our tradition!!"

 "Oh don't worry about it you can have one next year, besides we're taking your brother and you girls to your father's job they're having a Halloween party. It'll be fun." She smiled but Emma glared at her.
