"LO!!!!!" I screamed to get his attention since he's easily distracted.
"Yeah!" He yelled back, walking into the living room to see what's up.
"What time are we leaving again?" I ask Lo genially forgetting what time we're supposed to leave for the night watch.
"Six, because that's when all the little kids start coming out, and all the sickoes will be out just for them." He says in disgust towards all the pedophiles that take advantage of kids on Halloween.
"Okay got it, Imma grab a drink before we go you want one?" I ask, since why the hell not.
"Yes." He agrees.
I walk to the fridge and pull out an ice-cold Dr. P and one nice cold lemon limer. Grabbing the bottle opener out of the nearest drawer near the fridge, I pop the bad boys open for me and Lo.
"Here you go," I say smiling as I walk over to him and throw his drink in the air for him. Just as the ice-cold drink starts to make its way towards the ground it stops in midair and starts floating over to where Lo is getting his shoes on.
"Nice try." He says calmly even though he had to stop the bottle from smashing into the ground with his mind powers.
As we both chug down our drinks while getting our shoes on I look at mine and Lo's outfit. I got some nice convers on, with a dark blue dress shirt tucked into a pair of fitted black dress pants that are cuffed at the end.
While Lo on the other hand is wearing something more casual. He's got his normal brown leather hiking boots on, with a simple red long sleeve shirt on, and some dark blue fitted jeans as usual.
I have the style here obviously.
"Alright let's do this," I say smirking so ready for Halloween.
We grab out normal human jackets out of habit and head out the door locking it on the way out. Just as we reach the stairs to head down the apartment, I remember the most critical point of our customs that we both forgot.
"Lo! Our bracelets!" I say realizing we forgot to take our bracelets off.
You might be thinking why would our bracelets matter for a Halloween custom, and that is because of our special bracelets designed by Lo to make sure we stay human. Therefore, to be our Halloween custom (Our Alien Selves) we'd need to take those bad boys off.
"Shit now we have to go back." I sigh in annoyance at our stupid brains. Hey, we may not be humans but our alien brains still make us forget stuff.
"I know, we got to put these human fibered jackets back inside or you'll burn yours off." He snickers enjoying that I burn things without my bracelet.
After we walk back down the hallway and put our jackets inside we take off our bracelets, both them coming off with a soft snapping sound. One of the bracelets themselves is made of special programmed computer material from a Lopanian pod, specifically Lo's Lopanian pod that crashed landed here when he was six (In human years). He found out the hard way he'd have to change his appearance or he'd be a target for the pentagon.
Mine however is a special anti-burn ruin stone bracelet that was used by my people for generations, its purpose was to make sure when we contacted others who weren't our own we wouldn't burn them. But it wasn't designed to keep my other powers at bay like my glowing eyes, or veins, and especially not my claws or fangs. So when I arrived on Earth shortly after Lo I had a hard time making sure my other powers didn't show. But once we found each other one day when my powers weren't under control he helped fix my bracelet to conceal my other gifts as well.
