Groaning I stood in another pose as Ma squealed loudly "Okay, one more picture guys. You two look great" Daniel, and I rolled our eyes as we smiled widely for Ma's camera.

"No, get closer this time" I glanced at Daniel who looked back at me as we place an arm around each other before smiling again for the camera, it was one of those smiles where you didn't want to do it, but you had no choice.

Even though Daniel and I hadn't actively argued since our little reconciliation, we still weren't ready to be this close in such a short time not that it bothered out Ma as she forced us into each other's arms for a picture.

One 'quick' picture had turned into a mini photoshoot when our Mother realized we willingly stood next to each other without trying to maim, hurt or hurl insults at the other.

"I can't believe you made those costumes Katherine, they look really good" Ma complimented as she finally put down her camera "Yeah she did a great job" Daniel compliment from inside his shower costume, I made it so he could pull the curtain around himself whenever he didn't want to be seen.

Ma smiled at the two of us before pulling us in for a big group hug "I've got a good feeling about this" she whispered making me laugh "You said the same things about the palm trees" I joked as Daniel rolled his eyes with a smile "I really should've watched out for the falling coconuts".

"Right, one more" Ma giggled picking her camera back up snapping a picture of us again "I haven't had a picture of the two of you since you were babies."

I sighed heavily ready to leave "Okay let's not get sentimental, I have a dance to check up on," I said clapping my hands hoping our Ma would move quicker.

"Betty?" Daniel guessed as I rolled my eyes "how hard is it so curl some extra ribbon and make sure everything is in order" I sassed as we walked to the car carefully, so our costumes didn't bend or break "How did you even get on the committee" Daniel asked turning to me.

"Principal Louis likes my 'tenacity' and thought I'd get the job done" I answered as Ma opened the car for us "What's tenacity?" Daniel questioned as I looked at him silently "You seriously need to pay attention in class."

Getting closer to school I could see Daniel shuffling in his seat "You'll be fine, whoever you're avoiding won't know it's you unless you want them to" I told him as I heard music coming from our school and decorations were put where I told Betty to put them "Oh thank god".

Getting out of the car I made sure my wings and halo were okay as Daniel awkwardly shimmied out of his seat "You two have a nice night and no fighting!" Ma called through the open window as we nodded at her.

Walking over to the door I stood by my brother as we both breathed deeply "Well are you ready?" I urged him as he nodded seeming a little unsure "Wait let's not go together" I frowned at him until he added, "Everyone will know it's me in here."

I let out a laugh and pulled his curtain closed "Have a nice time invisible man" I smirked pushing him into the building as I hear Ma calling my name from where she still sat in the car.

Rolling my eyes, I walked back over to the can and leaned down to look in the open window "I'm glad you and Daniel are making up. I'm real proud of you kiddo".

I smiled gently at my Mother knowing how hard it must be to have your only children fighting with each other and being at war everyday "I'm trying really hard, it's surprisingly tiring" I whispered softly as she smiled at me tearfully "Thank you."

Tapping on the top of the car I said goodbye to Ma and walked into the gym revealing at how good it looked and how well of a job we all had done setting it up "nicely done Miss Larusso" I turned to see Principal Louis smiling at me "Thank you, sir,".

I turned to see everyone in their costumes and giggled aloud seeing the lone shower swaying back and forth to the music. Gazing around I noticed a certain blonde cheerleader "Nice job not screwing up Betty" I half complimented as she gave me a thumbs up.

Hearing a whistle, I grinned knowing who it was coming from and turned to see the guys dressed up as skeletons, makeup and all, bouncing over to them I gasped as I looked at their costumes "Oh my god you guys look awesome!".

"Wow, Kat you look great," Johnny exclaimed as he tugged me closer to him, I noticed he was the only one with his hood down showing his blond hair "Thank you" I glowed as Johnny twirled me around making the guy's wolf whistled.

"This place looks amazing" I acknowledged looking around noticing how much better it looks with the lights down "Well you did a good job of ordering everyone around" Bobby laughed pushing me gently "I guess I'm a girl who knows what she wants," I informed him smiling when Johnny winked at me.

"And what do you want?" Johnny challenged as the guys joked and laughed among themselves ignoring the two of us "Well right now I want to kiss you but I can't" I admitted with a pout.

Johnny grinned at me making the painted teeth stretch across his face "I never knew skeletons could be sexy" I playfully flirted fiddling with the zip at the top of his costume.

"You keep talking like that, and you'll be covered in black paint," Johnny told me huskily as his grip tightened on my waist "Hmm maybe I don't care" Johnny smirked at me whispering, "I think you're wearing the wrong costume."

I looked up at him confused, but the smirk never left his face "I think a devil would be more fitting for you" I laughed and wriggled my wings "attitude of the devil, looks of an Angel" Johnny chuckled plating a kiss on my neck that I knew would leave a black imprint.

The guys turned to see my neck and sniggered "You're all jerks" I pouted knowing they wouldn't take me seriously "I don't think you really believe that" Johnny looped both arms around my waist as we lightly swayed together.

"Well there is one thing that could change my mind," I told them feigning innocence as they all looked at me expectantly "Let's dance" I called out as everyone in our radius whooped as me, and the guys started to jump and move to the music.

I laughed seeing them dance and noticing how funny it looked with five skeletons partying and having a great time at a high school dance; I was surprised how much fun I was having compared to all the boring dances we had back in Newark.

Things were different now I had friends and a boyfriend who cared about me, I no longer had to be the girl who hated everyone and hated life, I could just be me, and I was hoping that nothing was going to change that.
