John's POV-

I woke up at the sound of my alarm. But not just any alarm. My special one. And that may or may not be Hercules.

"JOHN! WAKE! UP!" Hercules jumped up and down at me. Hercules would always wake me up every holiday.

I groaned. "Herc, I know you're excited. But you don't need to wake me up..." I said dozing off.

"COME ON JOHN! THE WHOLE GANG'S HERE!" he said pulling me up.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier!?" I exclaimed.

"I dunno."

He was right. Everyone in the gang was here in the living room. Even Aaron and Theodosia. Well, except Peggy. She was stealing their food, as usual. They all tried to hold their laughter but failed.

"H-Hi..." I awkwardly wave. "Shit!" I forgot I was still on my pajamas and my hair was a mess. I quickly ran back to my room.

I picked an plain orange t-shirt and black sweatpants to match the theme. I put on my signature ponytail, brushed my teeth and headed back to where everyone else was. "There."

"Now", Liz clapped her hands. "Me and Herc finished your costumes!"

Every year, we annoy our neighbors, especially Jefferson, hang out at the Halloween Carnival, and get candy. At night we would get high at the Schuyler's dorm.

Hercules and Eliza went to get our costumes. Alexander, Peggy, Aaron, and I didn't choose since, uh, we were to lazy.

They came out a few minutes later carrying a bundle of clothes.

Lafayette was a revolutionary.

Hercules became a infected zombie from an apocalypse or something.

Theodosia was an elf. She liked the Christmas mood.

Angelica dressed up as a pirate.

Eliza chose to be the baker's wife from Into the Woods.

"Liz, that matches you perfectly!" I said.

"Thanks, John! You're gonna love your costume." she said, emphasizing 'love'.

Oh no. I have a very bad feeling about this.

Hercules handed me, Peggy, Aaron, and Alex our costumes. Each was wrapped to make it a surprise.

Peggy gladly opened hers first. To her delight, it was Belle's dress. "Thanks, Lizzie! Herc." She hugged both.

Aaron ripped his next. It was a burrito.
" How's your costume, Burr-ito?" Alex joked. In return, Aaron shoved him off the couch.

Alex and I opened ours at the very same time. We were shocked at the result.

"Really?" I pouted.

"Why?!" Alex whined. The rest of the group laughed.

It was ...

Matching.
Angel.
And.
Devil.
Costumes.

(like these...)
