Natasha strolled through the halls of the school. She wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible but she didn't want it to look obvious.
In three days time there would be a dance. A Halloween dance. She would have to wear a costume to said dance. But, if nobody asked her to go to the dance then she figured she wouldn't have to go.
Once she was in sight of the exit, she practically ran for it. She needed to get out of there and fast.
Natasha smiled as she ran through the door but the smile faded as she ran into someone.
"Natasha! Hi!" Pepper squealed when she saw who bumped into her.
"Hi Pepper." Natasha said while dusting her skirt off.
"You are just the girl I wanted to see. I have good news for you. I'm taking you shopping for a costume! And I'll even pay for it." Pepper exclaimed while jumping up and down.
"Oh, uh you don't have to." Natasha commented awkwardly. "I actually wasn't planning on going."
Pepper stared at her open mouthed. "Not going?" She asked.
"Yeah. I've never been big on these things." Natasha replied.
"You are coming. If you don't come I'll go to you apartment and drag you out of there. Okay?" Pepper said.
"Pepper I can't. Plus, nobody's asked me to go with them." Natasha said. She mumbled the last part so only Pepper could hear her.
Pepper rolled her eyes. "You don't need to worry about if some boy wants you to dance with him. How about, if we don't get asked to the dance we can join Tony and he'll drive us there, okay?" Pepper suggested.
"I don't know..."
"I'll stay with you the whole time." Pepper said, cutting Natasha off.
Natasha sighed. This argument could go on forever if she let it. But she didn't want it to last forever so she just gave in.
"Fine. Just don't expect me to dance." Natasha finally said.
"Yay! Meet me at Mike's Pizza Shop tonight at five." Pepper said.
Natasha smiled. "Okay. See you then."
Once Natasha was home she changed into comfortable clothes and quickly did her homework.
Finally it was almost five. Natasha slipped her shoes and black leather jacket on and ran down to Mike's Pizza Shop.
"I'm glad you came!" Pepper exclaimed as Natasha approached her.
"Yeah." Was all Natasha replied.
"Okay, so Tony let me borrow his car and we'll use it to drive to the store okay?" Pepper said.
"Okay. Let's get this over with." Natasha remarked.
Pepper laughed. "It won't be that bad. What are you planning on being?" Pepper asked.
"I have no idea. I haven't given much thought to it." Natasha admitted.
"That's okay. We'll figure out something. I think I'll go as a Greek goddess. Like Aphrodite or something." Pepper said.
"That would work. If only I could think of something." Natasha mumbled.
"Like I said, we'll figure it out. Let's go." Pepper said.
The car that Pepper led Natasha to was a red convertible. The seats were brown leather. Pepper got into the drivers side and Natasha in the passengers.
"Wait, Pepper. How can you drive? Don't you need a person with a licence or whatever in the car with you?" Natasha asked.
"Oh, uh, I just barely turned sixteen and got my licence. So yeah." Pepper said.
Natasha looked questioningly at her friend, but Pepper wouldn't look at her. She started the car and they drove off. She guessed that Tony had probably made a fake licence or something.
Finally they arrived at a Halloween shop called All Things Halloween. The outside of the store was decorated with all different kinds of Halloween stuff like witches and spider webs.
"Well, this is where I usually go for my Halloween costume." Pepper said.
Natasha sighed. "Let's go."
They entered the store and a little bell rung as the door opened. The inside was small but had a lot of things inside. On one side of the room was racks of Halloween costumes and on the other side was fall and Halloween decorations. In the back was a counter to buy the items and changing rooms.
Pepper led Natasha to the racks of costumes and after some searching she found a Greek goddess costume.
"I'm going to try this on." Pepper said before heading to the back of the building where the changing rooms were.
Natasha turned towards the racks and searched for something to wear. She finally decided on the only one she liked.
It was a 1940's two-piece army dress. The top was a button up jacket with bronze colored buttons. A belt attached to the jacket to go around the waist. For under the jacket was a white button up shirt and an army green tie. The skirt was the same color as the tie and jacket and it came a few inches under the knees.
"So what do you think?" Pepper asked. She was in her Greek costume which was a pretty but simple one. It was a white sleeveless dress that turned into different shades of purple at the bottom. Pepper has Greek style shoes on and a golden laurel on her head.
"I like it!" Natasha exclaimed. "What do you think of this?"
Pepper looked at the dress Natasha held up. She nodded slowly a couple of times before speaking.
"Go try it on." She said.
Natasha rushed to the changing rooms and put the costume on. Once everything was all straightened out she stepped out to show Pepper, who had change out of her Greek costume.
"Ahh! It looks so good on you!" Pepper said.
"Thanks!" Natasha replied.
She quickly changed back into her regular clothes and they bought the costumes.
"Tonight was fun Pepper. We should hang out more." Natasha said.
"Yeah! That's exactly what I was thinking." Pepper replied.
They both climbed into the convertible and drove off. After saying goodbye, Pepper dropped Natasha off at her apartment building.
Natasha walked quietly through the halls just in case someone was sleeping. She glanced down at her phone as it lit up with a Facebook notification. When she was almost to her door she decided to look up again and before she could comprehend what happened she was sitting down in the floor after bumping into someone.
"Sorry!" A familiar voice sounded.
Natasha looked up to meet Steve's blue eyes. Steve held his hand out to her and helped her stand.
"It's okay." Natasha said.
"I was actually about to come see you." Steve told her.
"Really? Why?" Natasha questioned.
"Well...I was just wondering, would you like to go to the Halloween dance with me?"
