�Haha, very funny wise-guy. Your costume isn�t so much better!� Kevin said, punching Alec in the arm.
�Shut up, I like my Luke Skywalker costume. It even comes with a light saber!� Alec said happily, holding up his toy.
Can't you tell Alec is a crazed Star Wars fan?
�Ok, crazy. So where�s Vicki?� Kevin asked, pulling out a stoole beside Alec. It was hard to sit down in his costume. 'So that was what being fat must feel like.'
Alec pointed towards a group of girls and said, �Over there gossiping. And Where�s your girl?�
�I don t know, she disappeared as soon as we walked in here. Probably in the washroom touching-up her make-up.�
Louis felt like his sides were going to split from laughing so hard once he saw Kevin in his costume. �A pumpkin? You really go all out don�t you?�
�My sister put you up to this, didn�t she?� Jessica knew Niki like the back of her hand.
�Who else?� Kevin sighed, �I shouldn�t have pissed her off yesterday.�
�Haha, that�s right buddy, never mess with the Au sisters,� Louis said, howling with laughter at the same time.
Jessica gave him a sift kick. �You should know! And at least Kevin has a costume, you�re just a party pooper.� Jessica was dressed in a red flight attendant costume. Very cute and classy. Louis just went as himself, in jeans and a Diesel shirt.
�Come on, baby. I have the best costume in the world. I�m here as the guy with the hottest girlfriend in the world!�
�Oh give me a break,� Alec gaged, pretending to throw up.
�Ya, talk about sucking-up, He�s worse than me and you put together,� Kevin added, shoving his finger down his throat.
�What are you guys talking about?� Niki asked, pulling a stool beside Kevin after she walked up to the group. She was dressed up in a black zip-up dress, cut off slightly above the knee. Niki�s costume consisted of gun, badge, and handcuffs. Clever huh? How did she ever get that idea?
�A cop? Isn�t that like being what you are. Everyday?� Jessica asked in a teasing tone, eyeing her sister up and down, �And since when do cops wear skirts? And that better not be your real gun!�
Niki stuck her tongue at Jessica and argued, �Shut up. It�s a water pistol, but the cuffs and badge is real. I just love my costume.� Niki carefully studied Jessica�s outfit and gushed, �Aw, I really like yours too! I should�ve been a flight attendant.� Niki changes her mind each consecutive second.
�Baby, your costume is cute too. You look great!� Kevin assured, draping an arm around his girlfriend.
�Oh, and you say I�m a sweet talker? Look at you,� Louis pointed out.
Alec leaned back into his chair ad sighed tauntingly, �Looks like I�m the only �real man� here.� As soon as the words rolled off of his tongue, Vicki approached the group, dressed in a doll�s costume. Since her cheeks were naturally pink she didn't requie heavy make-up. Vicki's hair was pulled up in pig tales and she had on a pink polka dot ballerina dress, which looked completely adorable and elegant.
�Aw, there�s my dollie. You look absolutely amazing. Best costume by far!� Alec quickly shut his mouth as soon as realized what he just said in front of his friends.
Louis and Kevin glared at Alec with tears forming at the corner of their eyes as they went hysterical.
�Look who�s the biggest suck-up now!� Kevin said, holding onto his potbelly.
Jessica shook her head, �Stop acting so immature. And has anyone seen Michelle?�
�She said she�s coming later since her and Ron have to take the little boy trick-or-treating,� Vicki said, fixing her pigtails.
�Hmm, I wonder what her costume is,� Niki arched her eyebrows in wonderment.
Jessica suggested, �We�ll find out when she comes. Come on, there�s Gigi with Julian, lets go say hi.� The three sisters quickly rushed away, leaving their boyfriends sitting there to look after their handbags.
�Free at last!� Kevin cried, pulling the green hat, resembling a stub, off his head when Niki was no longer in hearing distance.
Louis signalled for the waitress as he chuckled, �Better not let Niki hear you say that.�

�No way! I�m not putting on make-up!� Ron screamed as Michelle pulled out a bright red tube of lipstick.
�Come on, Tinker Bell. It came with the costume and you did say you�d wear the ENTIRE thing,� Michelle reminded.
Ron was a real man and a real man would never go against his word. Ron gave in, sighing, �But red? Well I think pink would be better.� Only for Michelle would Ron put on lipstick.
Michelle flashed Ron her most charming smile and replied, �Great! Pink it is.�
Sitting down on her bed, Ron squeezed his eyes shut like he was waiting for the electric chair to turn on. He suddenly felt a light breeze softly touching his face. Ron opened his eyes to find the most alluring pair of eyes, concentrating on his lips. Mesmerized by Michelle�s beauty, his own eyes slowly made way to her pink lips, which was irresistibly luscious, which he longed to kiss. Ron had never been close enough to feel her breath. He looked deep into her sparkling, brown eyes and felt like he was lost. Rom hoped he�ll never find his way out.
�All done!� Michelle exclaimed, knocking Ron out of his trance, �You look beew-ti-ful.�
�So do you,� Ron whispered to himself.
Michelle thought she heard him say something and looked up, asking, �What?�
�Nothing, lets go and get this over with. But you better put on your costume as too,� Ron reminded, trying to sidetrack Michelle from what he was really thinking.

�Nice costume, Sir Cheng!� Jack, Rico and Chris said teasingly as soon as they layed eyes on Kevin in his costume.
�Ha-ha, very funny! Don�t blame me if you�re all fired tomorrow,� he joked, �So where�s Ed?�
Jack pointed to the dance floor and said, �With Gill. What else is new?�
�Well I�m gonna go too, my girlfriend works at this bar. She told me to go find her once I�m here.� Chris had never sounded so happy before. Boys are such pushovers.
�Hey! You never told us about her. Congrats to you,� Kevin said, patting Chris on the back.
Chris was grinning from ear to ear. �I�ll introduce her to you guys in a bit, but I gotta go. Have fun dudes.�
As soon as he left the bunch Rico said, �Hmm, I�ll be right back boys. I think I see something to my liking.� On the double, he scampered away towards a girl in a Nurse outfit.
�Am I the only one here, alone?� Jack cried, burying his face in Kevin�s shoulders.
Shaking Jack's head off his shoulders, Kevin convulsed,�Haha, don�t worry,buddy. You�ll find Ms. Right soon enough.�
�Can I get you boys something to drink?� A familiar voice interrupted. "Oh it's you," Bobo said, smiling at Jack. Seeing Kevin with Niki made her change her opinino on him as a heartless friend.
�I�ll have a Bud, what about you Jack?� Kevin asked, looking in his friend�s direction.
Appearing like a deer caught in the headlights, Jack felt a lump in his throat once he gazed upon Bobo in a cheerleader costume. �I�ll ha-ave a-a m-mm...�
�Mai Tai?� Bobo said quickly, finishing Jack�s sentence. She was just guessing what he was trying to say, since the bar was so busy and she needed to hurry in order to serve everyone.
�Uhh, ya,� Jack stuttered.
�Be right back with your drinks,� Bobo said, scurrying away towards the counter.
When Bobo was out of site, Kevin looked at Jack in disbelief, asking, �Mai Tai? Isn�t that a chick drink?�
�Shut up. I actually wanted a Molson,� Jack replied. He didn�t know why but he stumbled on his words as soon as he saw Bobo.
Kevin squinted his eyes and nodded to himself. �I�ll be right back.�
He was gone for about five minutes and came back with a piece of paper in his hands. �Here you go buddy, never say I�ve never done anything for you.� Instantly, Kevin disappeared, after dropping the piece of paper in Jack�s lap.
Confused, he slowly unfolded the paper to find a phone number scribbled on it. Slowly but surely, Jack was able to connect the dots. Kevin just did his friend huge favour. Being buddies for so long, Kevin would be stupid if he didn�t know when Jack liked someone. Let�s just call it a grateful gesture for helping him and Niki. Kevin knew Jack wouldn't be able to do that for himself.

�Awww, look at Tinker bell and the Purple Dinosaur. You two look great,� an elderly woman said, dropping a handful of Candy into Jacky�s pillowcase, �And you, young man, make an adorable Pooh Bear.�
Michelle looked over at Ron, who was trying to hide his face. She was wearing Barney, the purple dinosaur, outfit. She looked exactly like Barney, except her face was showing where the mouth is so everyone could recognize her.
�Thanks,� Jacky said cheerfully.
Ron was jumping up and down, rubbing his arms, �Hurry up, it�s freezing out here!� You can�t blame him for being cold. He was parading around in a short green dress complete with a pair of slippers, not to mention a blond wig pulled up in a bun. Oh, and dont forget the nylon wings.
When they made it to the curb, Michelle scolded, �Relax moron, this is the last house. After we drop Jacky off for Sonija to look after, we can go show off your costume at Starlight.�
�What are you so excited about? You look ridiculous too!� Michelle seemed to have forgotten the fact that her costume was just as bad, but then again, what�s worse than a man dressed up as Tinker Bell?
---
After tucking Jacky in, Ron drove Michelle to the Starlight Bar.
�Nervous?� Michelle asked in a tantalizing tone.
�Hell no. Are you? It�s not too late to back out.� Ron forced his himself to sound as confident and brave as possible, which contradicted how he really felt. Michelle was the same story.
Ron took a deep breath as he pulled the handle on the door to the bar. Ready, set...
___________________________________________________________
Hoot and hollers echoed through the bar as soon as Ron showed up. He tried to back out, but Michelle grabbed his arm and pulled him in, forgetting about her own hideous outfit. The crowd went wild as Michelle and Ron paraded through the place.
�Whoa, I had no idea you made such a hot chick!� Bosco teased as soon as Ron walked up to his friends.
�Michelle? What were you thinking?� Fiona giggled once she saw her best friend as Barney.
�I think she looks cute,� Sammul complimented. Michelle gave him a thankful look, which made his heart beat rapidly.
�Can I have your attention please?� Gigi, dressed in a sexy witch costume, exclaimed excitedly into the microphone from the set up stage. �Since it�s Halloween, Starlight is holding a series of contests. There will be a prize for the person with the best costume, funniest costume, and most creative costume. The awards will be based on the nominations from everyone here,� applause broke out before Gigi could finish her announcement.
�And we will also have a special draw. The two people that we pick must kiss each other, even if it�s two boys or two girls,� Sharon added, standing beside Gigi.
The crowd went wild as soon as Sharon and Gigi finished her announcement.
�Hey, she�s cute,� Bosco whispered into Sammul�s ear.
�You mean Gigi Lai, the super model?� He asked, looking at Bosco�s excited face.
Bosco shook his head, �She�s hot but I meant the girl beside her...�
---
�The award for the most creative costume goes to...The Pumpkin!� Bobo announced from the stage.
�Aww, see? Thanks to me you get a free I-Pod,� Niki cheered, throwing her arms around Kevin�s neck.
Before he went to the stage to claim his prize, Kevin gave Niki a quick peck on the cheek.
---
�Barney? Where are you? You won the prize for funniest costume!� Sharon shouted buoyantly into the microphone, �and your prize is a digital camera!�
�Ahem! Isn�t that digital camera mine since your get-yp was my idea?� Ron teased as Michelle hugged Fiona. She stuck out her tongue before dragging her dinosaur tail to the stage.
Sammul looked at Ron in suspicion as he trailed his eyes after Michelle.
---
�Finally,� Gigi said enthusiastically, �the award for the best costume goes to...Tinker Bell!!!�
�Whoa buddy, you get a plasma TV!� Nicholas yelled, jumping onto Ron�s back like a cowboy riding a horse.
�Who me? Are you serious?� Ron shouted, �Holy Shit!�
With Nicholas on his back, Ron galloped toward his prize.
�Isn�t that my Plasma TV, since that was my idea?� Michelle mocked once they were standing side by side stage.
�You can come over anytime and watch it. As long as you share your digital camera with me,� Ron offered, making Michelle roll her eyes.
�Ok, here�s the moment you�ve all been waiting for. Can we have some drum-roll please?� Gigi yelled exultantly, �The two lucky people who needs to kiss are...oh wow...Barney and Tinker Bell aka Michelle and Ron.�
Ron felt like his wish has been granted. Sammul�s stomach sank in disappointment, since he hoped his name and Michelle�s name would be drawed.
�You gotta be kididng me,� Michelle cried onstage.
�I second that!� Ron lied, afraid of losing face.
�You better do it, unless you wanna give back your prizes,� Gigi threatened. �Come on guys. Do it!�
The crowd chanted with along with Gigi. Giving into peer pressure, Michelle and Ron closed their eyes, preparing for the kiss.
___________________________________________________________
The deafening presence of uncomfortable silence took over as Ron and Sammul stood across from each other in the elevator the morning after.
�So,� Sammul said, trying to break the dead air, �what�s new?� The two boys have been good friends since high school and this was the first time they felt uncomfortable around each other. Girls tend to create tensions between guys, even if it was unintentional.
�Not much,� Ron replied. He felt ashamed as he tried to look at Sammul�s face. He never thought one day they would be falling for the same girl. Their motto was, �Bros before hoes,� but Michelle is certainly not a hoe. She was someone special and her natural charisma could attract any guy. Who knew her charm would be the cause of breaking up two good friends.
Sammul swallowed hard as he stared directly at Ron. He forced himself to keep the question he�s been meaning to ask bottled up inside, but it rolled off the tip of his tongue. �You like Michelle don�t you?�
Ron could feel his stomach tighten into a knot as he stuttered, �A-a-are y-you kidding, buddy? Me, like the Devil Woman? You must be on crack.�
Ron felt the need to lie because men had a specific code, which goes as follows: One, always get permission from your friend if you were to date their ex. Two, never ever date his sister. And three, don�t fall in love with the girl your friend had fallen for first. If any of man were to break this code, guilt would bestow upon him. That�s why Ron felt like he could no longer look at Sammul in the eye, since he felt like he betrayed his best buddy.
Sam smiled uneasily and replied, �You know you can tell me anything right? We�re like brothers.� He knew his friend was lying, and he gave Ron a second chance to tell the truth. The guys never had to keep anything from each other-until now.
�Nah. She�s not my cup of tea.� Ron�s own words pierced his heart. He couldn�t bare to hurt his friend, even if it meant lying to Sammul and himself. Ron draped his arm around Sam�s shoulders and blurted, �I know I�ve been nice to her lately but it�s cuz she�s all depressed over her dead boyfriend.�
Sammul�s lips slowly separated and gradually formed an �o.� �Oh my god. I had no idea. But How did you know.�
Ron felt like he just committed the most terrible crime, not only did he fooled Sammul, he betrayed Michelle as well. He felt lower than dirt.
Ron tried to sound casual as he said, �Well, the night you couldn�t make it to our celebration, she got drunk and blurted things out...Don�t tell anyone.�
Sammul nodded, totally buying Ron�s explanation, since all he could feel now was pity and love for Michelle. �Thanks for taking care of her buddy,� he said, giving Ron a light, appreciative pat on the back, �you�re a good friend.�
�No problem homie, but I better be the Best Man at your wedding.� Ron felt like his heart just shattered into a million pieces.
