Halloween 1993

"We are not going as Star Wars characters Reggie," Bobby crossed his arms.

Reggie argued, "Why not? It would be perfect. Lara would be Princess Leia, obviously. Luke could be Luke, I could be Han Solo, Alex could be C3PO, and you could be R2D2."

"I am not dressing up as a robot for Halloween. I should be Han Solo."

Alex whined, "Why am I C3PO?"

"I'm ok with being Luke Skywalker, he is pretty cool," Luke laughed at Alex's expression.

Lara walked up to the group and took her spot next to Reggie and Alex at their lunch table, "What are we talking about?"

"Halloween," Reggie and Luke both said.

"Oh, you're pitching Star Wars aren't you?" she looked at Reggie who nodded in response. "I like the idea, but we could also do Ghostbusters again, Alice in Wonderland, or Peter Pan."

"Peter Pan?" Luke looked at his sister oddly.

"Ya, like I could be Wendy, Luke could be John, Bobby could be Micheal, Alex could be Tinkerbell, and Reggie could be Peter Pan."

"Am I Tinkerbell because I'm blonde?" Alex questioned.

"Exactly. You could wear all green and I'm sure we can find some wings at some Halloween store."

"Wait John is the older boy right? The one with glasses?" Luke asked trying to remember.

"Ya, Bobby would be the younger brother."

Bobby interjected, "Woah Woah Woah, I don't want to be a little kid. I like the Ghostbusters option more."

"Wait what about your Alice in Wonderland option? We've done Ghostbusters already Bobby," Reggie reminded them of their 8th grade group costume, it was the first year they decided to do that, to celebrate becoming a band.

"Right, I would be Alice obviously, Luke would maybe be the Cheshire Cat, Reggie would be the Mad Hatter, Alex would be the White Rabbit, and Bobby would be the Caterpillar, the Hare, even a male version of the Red Queen, so the Red King. Or two of you could be Tweedledee and Tweedledum. There's a lot of characters to choose from in that one."

"Wait I kinda like that option. But I think Luke and Bobby should be Tweedledee and Tweedledum. It fits them," Alex nudged Lara. Lara laughed, but Reggie just got a classic confused face.

"Hey! I think we would rock those outfits," Luke crossed his arms.

Bobby said hesitantly, "I guess we could go with that option."

Lara cheered, "Ok, I'll get the outfits. Alex, will you accompany me on my adventure?"

"Why of course my dear Lara." The two laughed.

After school was over Lara raided each of the boy's closets to see what all she needed to buy to complete their looks. Reggie's dad had a maroon colored suit jacket that Lara politely asked to borrow, which of course she was allowed. So with black ripped jeans, a dark green sleeveless top, and the maroon jacket, all Reggie's Mad Hatter look needed was the hat.

She raided Alex's closet next. He had light blue jeans, a red sweater, and a light blue jean jacket already, so she needed to find bunny ears and a pocket watch for his look.

Lara then barged into Bobby's room, in the middle of him doing homework. He paid her no attention as she did this often, to all of the boys. She searched through his closet trying to find anything that would match with something that Luke had. She held up a striped T-shirt that had red and white. If she could find a similar shirt with yellow on it instead of red then that would be perfect.
