The Bully

"Ready?!" Chloe called out from behind her closed bedroom door. She, Beca and Reno had gotten into their costumes while Kelly and Paige waited outside of Chloe's bedroom.

"Yes!" Paige and Kelly said in unison.

Chloe, Beca and Reno emerged from the bedroom. Chloe was dressed as Sully, Beca as Mike and Reno made the cutest Boo.

"My girls!" Paige squealed. "Picture, now."

The three posed for the never-ending reel of pictures.

"You girls look so great." Kelly said.

"Thanks!" Chloe smiled and grabbed the phone to look at some of the pictures.

"Okay, Reno. So we're going to walk up to the door, ring the doorbell and when they answer, you say 'trick or treat!' They'll give you candy and comment on our costumes and then you say thank you and walk away." Chloe explained. "There are a few rules. Stay with us the entire time and don't eat any opened candy. Ready?"

"Yes!" Reno said, all smiles.

They went up to Chloe's next door neighbor's house and rang the doorbell. A tall thin woman answered and Reno froze.

"Oh aren't you three so adorable!" The woman smiled and looked at Reno.

"Reno, say trick or treat." Chloe said.

"Trick or treat." Reno said softly.

The woman knelt down and gave Reno some candy.

"So cute." The woman said as she stood back up. "Happy Halloween girls!"

"Did you get nervous?" Chloe asked Reno when they were walking back to the road.

"A little." Reno said.

"That's okay." Chloe said kindly. "Everyone gets nervous, right Becs?"

Chloe rolled her eyes at her girlfriend who mumbled something through a mouthful of candy.

"How many candy bars did you get?" Chloe asked Reno, who was counting her candy.

"I got a lot." Reno smiled. Beca and Chloe had added a few candy bars from their own bags while Reno wasn't looking.

Reno's first Halloween was the best day of her life. She had finally felt like she belonged with a family. Even though it wasn't permanent, she was determined to enjoy her time with Kelly and Paige as much as she could.

"Reno, Honey, can we talk to you for a second?" Kelly asked the little redhead.

"Okay." Reno motioned for the two women to join her on her bed.

"When do you think you'll be ready to start school?" Paige asked.

"Will Chloe be there?" Reno asked, excited.

"Well, she'll be at school, but not the same school as you." Kelly explained.

"Then I don't want to go." Reno pouted.

Kelly and Paige looked at each other, then back at Reno.

"Sweetie, you have to go." Paige said gently.

"Do you remember Beca?" Kelly asked.

"Is she going to my school?!" Reno asked, excited again.

"Not exactly." Paige said.

"Beca's nephew is the same age as you and goes to the school you're going to." Kelly said. "Maybe we can have him over before you go to school."

"Okay!" Reno smiled. She liked Beca so maybe she'd like Beca's nephew.

"Mason!" Jenna called throughout the apartment. "Mason, it's time to go!"

"I don't want to." Mason whined.

"It'll be fun!" Jenna said.

"No it won't, don't lie to me." Mason said.

"Don't think that way, Mason. Reno is a very nice girl." Beca said.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Jenna asked.

"You don't have to if you don't want to." Beca said.

"Alright, you'll know where to find me." Jenna said.

Beca and Mason left the apartment and began walking to Chloe's house.

"Do I have to be friends with her?" Mason asked.

"Yes." Beca replied.

"Why?" Mason whined.

"You'll like her, Mason. I promise." Beca said. "She's adorable."

"Whatever." Mason rolled his eyes.

They got to Chloe's front door and rang the bell. Chloe answered and gave Beca a quick kiss.

"Reno! Mason is here!" Chloe called upstairs.

Reno shyly walked down the stairs and saw a handsome little boy standing next to Beca.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." Mason replied, awestruck by the pretty girl walking towards him.

"Do you guys want to play twister? I set it up in the family room." Chloe asked.

"Okay!" Reno said and followed her sister to the family room.

"Do you guys know how to play?" Chloe asked.

"No." Mason looked down at his feet.

"Well Beca and I will sit on the couch and spin the wheel. We will call out directions that you have to do. You'll catch on." Chloe smiled.

Beca and Chloe snuggled next to each other on the couch, while the kids prepared to play the game.

"Okay, left hand on yellow." Beca called out and the kids obeyed.

The game went on until mason fell over and Reno jumped up and down in celebration.

"Now you guys get to play!" Reno squealed and jumped onto the couch.

"Well it's really just a game for kids." Beca said.

"Come on, Becs." Chloe said. "It'll be fun."

Beca gave in and the kids spun the wheel.

"Right hand blue." Reno said.

Pretty soon the teenagers were intertwined with each other and neither wanted to lose. Beca's head was between Chloe's legs and she had to resist the urge to make a dirty joke.

"Right foot yellow." Mason said and both Beca and Chloe moved their right feet to yellow.

"Left hand red." Reno said.

The way Chloe moved her body put her face right near Beca's.

"I'm actually so turned on right now." Beca whispered.

"Me too." Chloe whispered back.

After dinner, Beca walked Mason home.

"I think I like her." Mason said.

"I told you you would!" Beca smiled.

"You and Chloe looked funny playing Twister." Mason said, changing the subject.

"That's because we're weird." Beca laughed.
