"Got me tripping, falling, with no safety net." -Ariana Grande, safety net
Time skip
October 31, 1986"Let's go to a haunted house."
"No."
"Why, are you scared?"
"What? No! I just think it will possibly activate my fight or flight response."
Billy could only roll his eyes at Diana's excuse. It's too late, he was already on his way to the scariest one in Los Angeles, but she didn't need to know that until they got there.
This was the first official year the couple would be spending Halloween together...they missed out on the last two due to unforeseen circumstances. Diana was Princess Leia; decked out in a white dress with a slit at the side of her leg, and she decided to buy it short just to frustrate Billy, and strap a fake lazar gun onto her thigh. Billy paired with Diana by being Han Solo. In return of getting back at Diana's costume, he purposely left half of the buttons unbuttoned on his shirt.
"Okay, maybe now's a good time to say I've never been to a haunted house." Diana begins as a clown covered in blood walks along the line of people waiting in line, getting closer and closer to her.
A smirk forms on Billy's lips but Diana is too busy nervously looking at the killer clown getting closer. Diana takes a step back further away from the clown who is only a few feet away from her, her back touching Billy's chest. Billy suddenly wraps his arms around Diana's waist to make her feel better and less terrified. The person in the killer clown costume laughs evilly in front of Diana's face then moves onto the next group behind them.
Diana lets out a sigh of relief, grateful the clown is gone. "No way, you're scared of clowns!" Billy chuckles into her ear to which she immediately replies, "No! I just would rather have them stay very far away from me."
"You're cute when you're scared."
"You're mean when I'm scared." She states as they both move up in the line, only a group of four separating Diana and the potential of more clowns in the haunted house.
"I have an idea!" Diana says as she breaks from Billy's grasp and turns to face him, "why don't we walk really fast in the haunted house to get out faster? It's a win-win situation."
"I'm in no rush." Billy smiles almost as evilly as the killer clown five minutes ago.
"Alright, you two can go in now," A voice breaks the couples conversation. A worker in a purple polo shirt smiles lightly, ushering them in.
"Hold my hand," Diana turns to Billy with her hand out to him frantically, waiting for his so he can go first and she can hide behind him. Billy laughs before putting his hand in hers and begins to walk inside the house of terror. She's on high alert as smoke fills the air in front of them, but Billy looks as if this is another stroll in the park. Lights flicker as they maneuver through the beginning until an actor pops up in front of Billy with a knife, Diana quickly jumping and attempting to pull Billy away but he only laughs.
