Boo. [Matt]

[Danicca Waylan]

Dani wasn't supposed to be texting in class, but she could hide her phone pretty well especially in the afternoon. And anyway, nobody ever paid any attention to her when she faded into the background like she had been over the last couple of months.

She had a plan to fix that, but that wasn't the point of her texting right this instant. The point was that it was almost Halloween and she didn't have any outfit coordination. Nor did she know what her brother was up to, and after quite a lovely discussion with Luke she had been curious how things were going between them.

Hey, Matty. Know what you're being for halloween yet?

Message sent, she acted like she was actually paying attention to the class when really she'd made sure to be reading chapters in advance so she could let her thoughts drown out the teacher. She had more important things to do than listen to a blonde tell her to write an essay on... whatever Ms. Singleton just said to write an essay on.

Whoops.

Matt himself was at home, trying to keep luke out of the cookie batter. They were making pumpkin cookies and were incorporating chocolate into the recipe. He was sure that it would turn out good. As long as he could keep Luke from stealing and eating all the batter. That was proving to be a bit difficult.

Halloween was coming up and he was in charge of all of the trick or treaters that would come. Instead of buying candy, he was making pumpkin cookies with chocolate. Now it was a whole new cookie. He couldn't wait to see and have Dani taste test soon. Speaking of Dani his phone buzzed and he looked over seeing it was her giving a reply.

Aren't you the one in charge of costumes?

With the message sent Matt waited for a reply and continued making the cookies. They really would turn out good. Matt really didn't care if Dani was texting in class, after all it was Dani. He wouldn't have a say anyway.

Yea...

On the list of things Dani did for her family every year, Halloween costumes were a pretty big contribution. Dani really enjoyed Halloween. Where Mom got control around Christmas, Dani had full creative licence over the Waylan family Halloween activities. That included what Matt wanted to wear.

Call her childish, but she really wasn't that into going out with friends on holidays. She was only gonna be with her family for so many years. Dressing Matt up only happened on occasion anymore.

Well I know THAT. Figure you have some ideas of what you want, though. :P

She was giving him a little freedom, for once. Or at least making him think so. Luke was going to be either a prince or a princess, so Dani had a thought or two for Matt and herself, but she still wanted to get an outside opinion.

And by outside, she meant outside of her brain.

[Matthew Waylan]

Matt didn't have control over any of the holiday's like the females of his family. No he was the laborer, and the one to do all the lifting. It wasn't a hard job and if he was lucky he was able to get a little gratification. At least halloween was always fun. Dani made sure of that every year.

Sometimes Matt wondered why Dani didn't hang with her friends on Halloween. Not that he didn't appreciate having his sister around, he just worried. If Dani knew what he was thinking she would definitely scold him.

Remember the last time I was put in charge of my own costume? I was a ghost. With a sheet. We both know that it isn't the best idea.

Freedom wasn't the best thing to give Matt in regards to Halloween costumes. He wasn't the best in choices and frankly he liked to make his sister dress in more of a feminine way. It was fun to watch her squirm. He thought that he was doing good with the fairy godmother last year. Unfortunately that had been turned down.

It wasn't his fault he swore.

[Danicca Waylan]

Dani had to hold back a snort. There was still about sixty seconds before she could not be in trouble for this.

Yeah, she remembered the sheet. That was hilarious in a really sad way. It was totally going to go down in history as One Of Those Matt Things that was going to be brought up at random moments in life, like his wedding or something.

Good point. So I guess you're going to be prince charming this year. 83

It may have been underhanded, but Dani had a plan; and it was a good plan that would end in photographs of Luke and Matt in theme-y costumes. A plan that also included a suit of armor for her and a dress for her boyfriend.

[Matthew Waylan]

Oh that was certainly a disaster.

It wasn't his greatest idea no, but it was an idea, and his sister had been sick. what else was he supposed to do? He wasn't the creative costume one anyway. For him it was easier to cut two holes in a sheet. It was the easiest costume that he could think of. He knew he wasn't going to live it down. Ever.

Prince Charming? Why him of all things? Does that mean you are going to be the fairy godmother or cinderella?

Matt had no idea why he was going to be prince charming of all things. His sister baffled him sometimes. Taking the cookies out of the oven Matt gave a grin and set them out to cool. Hopefully she wasn't going to make this really all that bad. He didn't want that of all things.
