"Come on, Y/N. We don't have all day!" SQUIP shouts from within my head, leading me to sigh and roll my eyes.

'All right, all right. Come out here.' The man materializes beside me through a pixelated mass and leans against the bathroom counter. I had insisted earlier that I be allowed to shower and dress without him visibly standing in the room. I turn to the super computer while adjusting the short, black skirt of my "sexy" police officer costume.

'Well, how does it look?' SQUIP's blue orbs scan me up and down to inspect the form-fitting outfit, while I take in his own choice of clothing. He's dressed in a sky blue button-up with a royal blue vest over it and matching pants. On top of it all is a glittery, indigo trench coat, and, upon looking down, I find a pair of sapphire blue boots on his feet. It's an odd look to say the least, but I think it suits him quite well.

'Dude, what the fuck are you wearing?' I receive a sharp glare from the blue-skinned male along with a faint shock in the back of my neck. I hiss and rub the electrocuted spot before glaring right back at him.

'God, I was just asking!' He shakes his head at me before clearing his throat.

"Don't you mind what I'm wearing. You look great."

'Ugh, but I hate this skirt! It's so short. What if people stare?'

"Attention is good."

'Not if they think I'm some kind of whore,' I retort before giving a defeated sigh. I know I'll have no choice. It's too late to change my outfit, and I doubt SQUIP would even let me. We spent hours in the store picking out a costume we both were okay with. I start on my makeup, not planing on using a lot, just enough to make me look decent. Upon looking in the mirror, I notice that my blue companion has no reflection, just like at the arcade, so I have to watch him from the corner of my eye when he speaks.

"You don't look like a whore. It's Halloween, loosen up. Plenty of girls wear these outfits. The feeling will pass. You just have to own the look like it doesn't bother you," he assures.

'Whatever you say, boss,' I think to him, obviously not too excited to parade myself like this, even on Halloween, while thinly coating my mouth with red lipstick.

'I still think I should've gotten the female Freddy Krueger costume. It was a hell of a lot cooler than this.'

"We're not going for cool. We're going for sexy."

'Yeah, whatever.' I wave him off.

"Don't 'yeah, whatever' me. Come on, have I ever steered you wrong?"

'No, I trust you. I just... You know I don't like going out of my comfort zone. You're asking a lot from me this time. A lot of people are going to be at this party.'

"I'll be there too. I'll be right by your side the entire time for support, like always. You won't be alone," he assures while setting a hand on my shoulder. "You look great, you'll meet more potential friends tonight, and who knows? Maybe you'll actually enjoy yourself. Now, let's go." He waves his hand, ushering me to follow him. Giving a light smile to show I do trust the supercomputer, I walk behind him into my bedroom, where a brown trench coat and a matching hat with a black ribbon around it sit on the bed. I slip the coat over my revealing costume before placing the hat on my nicely done hair. I have a police hat for the cop outfit, which I have tucked away in a small bag along with a few secret snacks that SQUIP told me to bring just in case I get hungry.
