    “You sure this isn’t too short,”
I say as I look back at my reflection on the floor length mirror in Allys mirror, tugging down at the hem to see if it will go
any lower. I guess I needed to make sure I didn’t bend over at all tonight or
everyone would be getting a whole lot of Leah.
    Ally slaps at my hands, “No, now
stop it. You look sexy, not slutty. There’s a huge difference. Chase won’t be
able to keep his hands off of you.” She slaps my hand again as I try to pull up
the black corset top that has my barely c cups pushed up and adding at least
two sizes.
    “ Ally I told you, Chase and I are just friends. I’m not even sure what time he’ll
show up.” She plops a silky black witch’s hat on my dark brown ringlets that
just fall past my shoulders. “There. Can’t get in the door
without a costume.”
    “Oh we wouldn’t want that,” I
grumble.
    Ally ignores my moodiness and
finishes putting her costume on. After my complaining of her and Skylar sounding just like Sonny and Cher when I had to
listen to their singing the whole way to and from Allys parents house, they thought it would be a perfect couples costume. Well more like Ally, I’m pretty sure Skylar went along with whatever she said. She slid a dark
long wig over her hair that was streaked with orange in celebration of
Halloween. “Sky should be here in a few minutes to pick us up. Here these go
with the outfit.” She shoves a pair of laced black boots with a pointy heel
that are cut off at the ankle.
    “Have fun Caleb and be good.
Remember you get to go trick or treating tomorrow!” This would probably be the
first year that Caleb would actually be interested in going out for candy and
he had picked out his Spiderman costume almost two months before Halloween was
even here. They had already had their Halloween party at his daycare and came
all hopped up on sugar so I would need to make sure I limited his intake.
    “Bye bye Mommy. Me and Rissa will be good. And I
can’t wait to get lots and lots of candy!” He squealed out the last part and I
rolled my eyes at his excitement for the candy. I would definitely need to find
a good hiding spot from him and Ally.
    “We are so going to hit up all
the awesome houses for candy little dude.” Ally says as she leans down to hug
Caleb. I’m pretty sure her and Skylar are just as
excited to go with us. “Kay lets go. We’ll meet Sky out at the car. I told Tara
I would try and get there a little early to help with some drinks.”
    We ran down the stairs and met
Sky at the bottom. He looked like Sonny to the T with a flowered long sleeve
shirt on a tan leather vest over it. He even had grown out a small mustache.
Ally beamed at him and threw her arms around him. “Wow you look great. We are
the perfect Sonny and Cher. Don’t you think L?”
    “Yes but please don’t serenade
me in the car. I think I had enough the last time.”
    “Hey Leah,” Skylar says as he places a kiss on Allys forehead. “You look
great, Ally was nervous about you agreeing to what she had in store.”
    “Thanks Sky,” I say as I pull on
my skirt for the millionth time, I’m sure I’ll be doing that all night. “You
don’t think it’s too revealing do you?”
    “Seriously
Leah?” He looks down at Ally like he’s looking for permission to answer
me and she gives him a nod. “I mean I love Ally and all I don’t really need to
look at other girls. But if I did you would definitely be number two in my book
after Ally of course. But you don’t look like one of those skanks I’m sure we’re going to see a lot of tonight.”
    I guess that was sort of
