Skeppy's Pov:

We were on our way out of the door. I kept looking at Bad, he probably thought I was stressing cause he didn't have his license. Or he thought I was a stupid maniac. Stop, I tell myself. I always think he sees me as weird or stupid and in just the worst ways. That couldn't be true though. he liked me once, and he could like me again. I had a stupid smug look on my face. It would be amazing if he still liked me. I still had a crush on him, and it's just impossible to get over this feeling. "Let's take my car. It's this cool blazer over there. My dad gave it to me and it would be really cool to drive in!" George suggested. "Ya, that sounds fun!" Bad agreed. We all hopped in the car. George got the front seat this time. I had to sit in the back with Dream. This reminded me of the one time Bad forced George and Dream to sit together. I took a picture of it as well. It was also a live picture so I ended up getting Bad in it as well. I took a screenshot of his face. he looked so pleased and happy. It was just the cutest thing ever. It makes me happy to look at it, and it gave me a reason to be happy every day. I always wondered if Bad ended up taking pictures of me. We would hang out a lot in eighth grade. Everything went downhill because I was supposed to move. On the last day of school, Bad was just bawling. he was just so depressed and this made it even worse for him. I thought I was moving as well. We ended up not moving and we haven't really talked since then. It's actually been pretty hard for me, not hearing his cute voice all the time. I accidentally sigh out loud, I don't think anyone noticed though. I can't help but hope that after today we can become closer once more.

The car started with a whirring noise suggesting that it was quite old. That really only made it that much cooler. It was a 1990s type of car and had a rustic aesthetic to it that made me feel like SUCH a high schooler, which I am, but it's just different. I can't quite understand it, but this car is making me feel truly free right now. "To the mall!" Bad declared with an adorable nervous smile and laugh and I can't help but smile when seeing and hearing it. George, in the passenger seat, got the radio to work but turned the volume off to ask for a song suggestion. After a couple of seconds of everyone just looking at each other, not wanting to suggest anything, he said, "Fine, I'll put on whatever I want if you all don't want to suggest anything." with a small chuckle. "This artist is called 'Cavetown' and I just love his music. The track I'm putting on of his is called, Lemon Boy, It's an oldie but a goodie!" he told us. The music started, and I must say that I quite like it. I've never heard these songs before, but they are pretty darn good.

George's pov:

We get to the mall in what feels like no time at all, I guess that time really does fly when you're having fun! I am so excited about this because my mom hasn't let me go trick or treating unless I get my own costume ever since I turned 14. Last year I didn't go for that reason. This year is going to be different though! This year I am going to pick out an amazing outfit and have it be the best night of my life! I am determined for that to happen. As we walk over to the opening of the Macy's that connects to the mall, Bad sort of takes the lead, probably because he is buying the costumes after all, and we all sort of fall into an order for walking. Bad is in the front with Skeppy tagging along practically right behind him. Me and Dream are walking next to each other behind both of them. I notice that Dream has actually grown a bit in the past couple of years and I feel so much smaller next to him. It almost feels like it is making me blush, but I tell myself it must be just the warm air of the building as we enter.

We walk through the Macy's to get to the main part of the mall that will branch off to other stores. By this point, Skeppy has shifted to be walking next to Bad and I can't help but think that it is so so cute! As we pass the Hot Topic, I walk a bit faster to whisper in Bad's ear while pointing at it. I tell him, "Look! It's Zane's natural habitat!" (IF YOU GET THE REFERENCE PLEASE COMMENT!!!!!) Which makes him start laughing quite hard. "What did you whisper to him!" Skeppy quickly demanded. He hates when we whisper because he thinks that we are making fun of him or something. This makes us both laugh harder. I tell him that he wouldn't understand. "Oh, really? Why? Is it something inappropriate!?" He asks. "No, no!" Bad says, laughing harder. "It's just a reference to a show you haven't watched," I tell him. "Oh really, how do you know I haven't watched it? Hmm?" He retaliates. "I just know, ok?" I say through laughs. "Hey look! We're at the costume store!" Bad says to quickly end the stupid argument.
