She wanted to test a theory. He wanted to win a bet. What could possibly go wrong?

Why was this shit so much easier in the books?!

"It fucking sucks that the gang can't celebrate Halloween with us this year. We all so could've gone as the Liquor Cabinet together," Kelsey groans as we continue to look for matching costumes for just the two of us at Phantom Halloween Store.
Today's Sunday, and as planned, Kelsey and I got up early in the morning to spend the entire day together. We skipped breakfast to look for dresses for Loraine's and Darius's wedding at the Paseo Nuevo mall, where we were both finally able to find something decent at Nordstrom after looking around for nearly three hours. Then we grabbed a well-deserved lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, and drove to the best-ranked Halloween costume store in town to look for something to wear at UCSB's massive Halloween fest tomorrow night.
We've been here ever since.
"Tell me about it. I had found a Jack Daniels dress and everything," I respond. "But at least we'll be spending Thanksgiving together, it'll make up for it."
"True," Kelsey agrees and then goes to pull out a white and gold dress. "Bro, why don't we just go find cute blue and back and white and gold dresses, and be a live version of that controversial dress meme? Even if people don't get it, at least we'll still look cute while attempting it."
"Honestly, at this point, I'm so down," I tell her, putting the last piece of shit I just took a look at back onto the rack. "We've been searching for hours and have found absolutely nothing."
"So, back to Paseo Nuevo?" Kelsey asks while putting back the dress.
"I guess so," I respond.
We were tired as hell by the time we had gotten back to our dorm, but we had managed to find cute outfits inspired by both versions of the viral dress and needless to say, we were going to rock the fuck out of them as best as we could.

"EOS Lounge or M8RX Nightclub & Lounge tonight?" Kelsey asks me as we prepare for a night out.
"Well, we wouldn't need our fake ID's at EOS, Stephen is working tonight but then again, we've been kind of going there for the longest now. I've been missing the adrenaline rush of sneaking in lately, so I'd go with M8RX tonight."
"You're right," Kelsey says, putting on the last of her makeup while I go to put on my shoes. "We haven't done anything illegal in a while, let's not forget to swipe a good old bottle of scotch on our way out too, we can get wasted back here."
"Took the words right out of my mouth, dear friend," I tell her with a wink, and we proceed to do our hygiene check.
"We need to take some pictures tonight," Kelsey reminds me as she locks up our room with her key.
"Yeah, we just have to find some good lighting," I respond as we walk towards the exit of our building.
"If all else fails, there's always the restroom," she says with a wink and we fist bump that one out. I mean, hey, she ain't wrong.
Our pre-paid Uber arrives around five minutes later and soon, we're off to a night that we both know we truly need together.
