Travis heard a knock on his door at 6:03 pm. He grabs Sal's gift and rushes downstairs. He opens the door and is greeted by a hug from the one and only Sally Face. Sal breaks the hug and holds Travis' hand.

"Ready to go?" he asks. 

Travis tries to hide his blushing face. 

"Y-yeah! I-I have this for you.." he stutters as he hands Sal a paper card that contains poems inside. 

"Oh and you look super cute too.."

Travis has been dating him for almost 6 months and he still gets flustered whenever they're about to go somewhere like a party or a school dance. Travis was never really invited to these things growing up so he isn't really sure what to expect. Sal scans the paper, smiling behind his mask. 

"Travis..thank you.."

"Heh, yeah, you're welcome, Sally Face!" he says, gaining some confidence from Sal's positive reaction from his poems. 

The two intertwine fingers and rush to Larry's car- or well Larry mom's car. 

They pick up Ash and the remaining of the car ride is blasting with music. Travis notices that despite it being a Halloween party nobody is actually dressed up in their Halloween costumes. It is October 14th though. The car comes to a screeching halt and Todd sighs at Larry's sudden stop. It's 6:24 pm and it is already starting to get dark. A handful of people were already there and Larry mentioned how more were suppose to show up when it got darker out. Todd gets out of the car. He looks around. 

"I'm going to look for Neil, I'll catch up with you guys," he says before rushing into the house. 

"I'll help!" Ashley calls out before rushing to help Todd. 

"Hey, is Maple and Chug gonna be here?" Larry asks, although it is a little difficult to hear him due to the muffled music coming from inside the house. 

Sal nods.

"They said they'll get here early, so they must be here," he responds.

Larry nods.

"Ok, I'll search for them. We will all group up again soon!" Larry tells the two before heading into the house.

The two nod and follow Larry into the house. By time they enter the house, Todd, Ash, Larry, Maple, Chug, or Neil was no where to be seen.

"Don't worry, Travis, we will bump into them," Sal says in a reassuring tone, "until then..want to dance?"

"I-I can't dance, Sally face."

"I can't either."

And somehow the two are on the dance floor. Music that Travis can't recognize is playing and yet he likes it. The dance floor is somewhat packed. More people started showing up and Travis was impressed. He didn't expect so many people to show up. The person in charge of the dj booth looked like he was in college. Despite not knowing a majority of the people at the party, he felt comfortable and safe because he was with Sal. Sal's hair was half up in a bun and the remaining was half down. He was wearing black overalls with a long sleeved black and white striped shirt. He wore stockings that went up to his knee with his black tennis shoes. Travis thought he looked amazing, no- stunning, no- perfect no wait-

"Travis!" Sal's voice is barely audible over the music. 

Travis looks at him.

"Yeah?" he asks but Sal can't hear him so well.

"Do you want to get snacks?" 

Travis eagerly nods and holds Sal hand, guiding him out of the swarm of teens. It isn't as loud in the kitchen as it was in the living room. In the kitchen, Larry was sitting on the counter, lighting up a blunt. The boys walk over and sit next to Larry on the counter although Sal needs a bit of help from the two to get up onto the counter. 

"Does the punch have alcohol in it?" Sal asks Larry.

Larry nods.

"Mhm, they have water though," he replies as he points to the fridge. 

Travis slides down from the counter and passes by a group of kids playing poker on the kitchen table. He grabs a bottled water from the fridge and gives it to Sal. Sal thanks him and takes a couple of sips. Sal slides down to look for snacks. Travis finds little packages of pretzels and hands one to Sal then grabs one for himself. The two talk with Larry for awhile and finished their waters and pretzels. Once finished, the two walk into the family room and found a group of kids playing Cards Against Humanity. Most of them were drunk. The two joined the game and left after a round. (Ash was in the lead, winning 3 out of 5 games so far). Travis noticed that Sal was getting a little overwhelmed so they head upstairs and found an empty bedroom. The two closed it but didn't lock it. The two sat on the bed. 

"Hey, Sal.." Travis began.

"Hm?"

"Thank you for coming with me...I'm having a lot of fun," Travis looks at Sal and gives him a smile. 

Sal smiles back.

"Of course, love. I'm having fun too," he says happily. 

Travis gently places his hand on Sal's prosthetic. 

"Can I take this off?" he asks quietly. 

Sal nods and allows Travis to take off his mask. Travis carefully places the mask next to the two.

"Sal?"

"Yes?"

"C-Can I kiss you?"

Sal nods.

"Don't worry, you can do more than that tonight."
