A Haunted Masquerade: Halloween dance for KHP

TJ himself was finshing up for the night on his computer as well.He had decided to get some rest before tomorrow,he hadnt gotten much since the begining of the school year."Im guessing Im goin alone to this thing.Oh well,maybe I will get to meet some of the others?"He thought to himself as he went over to a TV in the hotel he was in.He put in a movie and started watching it while wondering what could happen tomorrow.He just didnt know it would be much different then what he expected it to be.

 

Lily lay there on her bed staring at the blank ceiling. She hardly ever slept, she would usually sit there and do absoloutly nothing. she sat up slowly and looked at her dress hanging of a coat hanger in the corner of the room. She hadn't thought about it until now. she glanced at the clock and noticed it was almost midnight, this would be the time were her mum would waltz in and ask her the usual questions 'Are you okay?' 'Do you need anything?' 'Are you tired?'.....it would go on and on and lily would just reply in simple one worded answers.
When her mum left, she stood up and walked over to the corner of her room where the dress was, hanging there cold and lifeless. She gently trace her finger along the designs on the material. she couldn't believe that she was actually going to a Masquerade ball on halloween were there will be a hall full of strangers.
She was just glad she wasn't going alone, that was the only reason why she even though of going. 'Ed seemed really keen to go' she thought 'I didn't want to let him down'. She stood there silently and started to remember last years halloween, she and Ed were playing pranks on the stupid kids around the nieghbourhood, later on the sat there and watched the whole SAW box set. she chuckled then steadily she tip toed back to her bed, lay down and closed her eyes. She seemed to fall asleep this time...she didnt feel like waking up....

 

Folding square pieces of paper into cranes, Gotcha was showing a sign of boredom. "658 cranes. I hope this 1000 thing works" he joked to himself. A cool breeze blew through the window, refreshing since it was oddly hot inside. Putting his hand near the laptop, he found the source of the heat and turned it off. "Wasting electricity is wasting money. Conservation is cool" he thought, and he threw the cranes in a box where the rest were.
He sat up in bed listening to a few oldies through his head phones while reading a book through the night. He couldn't sleep yet, for him, it was still too early. But as the hour went by, the music suddenly halted. "Batteries" he complained.
Still quite energetic, he put on his costume for the Masquerade and looked at the mirror noticing a small rip. With nothing to do, he sat up all night clumsily trying to patch the rip that was at the collar. When he finished, he finally felt tired and slumped on the bed. "I wonder who else is going?" he questioned before drifting into a deep sleep.

 

Ed was sitting on his bed, listening to Marilyn Manson's version of This is Halloween, when he looked at his alarm clock, and realized it was time to get ready for the masquerade. It took him about an hour to get ready, and grabbing his cell, he went out to the car. He was supposed to be picking up Lily tonight. They were just going as friends, and who wants to show up at a party alone anyway?

He closed the door and dialed her number. . .

 

Toraa was sitting at his computer went a loud buzzing sound began to produce from his alarm clock. He looked over at it and it was flashing 6:00. Toraa looked down at the mask sitting to the left of the key board of his computer. He whispered to himself, "Here we go." He looked over to his dog lying on his bed with her eyes closed (she lookes like this
)
He whispered to her, "Wish me luck girl."He got up out of his computer chair and walked to his closet. There was his costume, hanging, cold and lonely. He thought to himself, "Hopefully I will meet some friends at the ball. Then I can stop being like this costume, alone and cold with nothing or anyone around to talk to." At that moment he had a flashback of last Halloween. He remembered just sitting down outside when this strange, black, wolf-like dog came out of the woods looking dead at him, as if it was going to attack. Then, it ran right back into them when Toraa stood up. He then wished that this time he wont have to leave the party early and he could finally find some friends. Toraa grabbed his costume off his closet door, put it one, grabbed his mask and car keys off of his computer desk, and shuffled out of the door.

 

Will was slowly strumming his guitar, the first chord of the song Battery fingered. He looked at his costume and grinned slightly. "Time to get prepared..." He said, setting the pitch black les paul into it's stand. He stepped towards the closet, withdrawing a dark tuxedo and a white mask. "I should hurry so I can call her..." He muttered absentmindedly.

 

Lily was in a deep sleep when she heard her phone vibrate then play her awesome ringtone (in too deep by Sum14) she grabbed it and saw it was Ed....She finally remembered that he was going to pick her up. She looked at the clock...she had forgotten completely. She flung her phone on her bed without answering Ed's call, locked the door and grabbed her dress...she quickly slipped on her dress and her shoes. She then got to work trying to untangle the knots in her thick bushy hair with a comb.....'why do girls have to suffer by tring to look good?' she thought to herself 'some guys would just fling on a cloth sack and noone would care' She began applying her black eyeliner, black nail polish and black eyeshadow. 'man i really gotta tone down the black a little' she thought to herself while slipping on her armwarmers.
She was trying to remember if she had forgotten anything else...then she remembered... the mask! she turned her room upside down trying to find it when finally she found it....in a black box under her bed. She lifted it out slowly and placed it on her nose while pulling the elastic to fit around her head.
She was finally ready....

 

Ed was getting a little ansy when she didn't answer the phone. I'll bet that got her around at least. He thought. "Okay, either you're asleep, or almost asleep and then your phone rang, which made you remember that we have a party to attend. Best be ready when I get there or I'm giving you coal for christmas."

He hung up the phone, and drove to her house.

He pulled up, and called her again. . .

 

"Gah!" Lily heard her phone ring again she dived onto her bed and accidently hit her head on the wall. She rolled on the floor in pain. "Why do i always do that? next time i do it i might put myself in a friggin' coma" she muttered while rubbing the small bump on her head. She pulled down her bed sheets and her phone flew down into her lap. It was Ed...again. "please dont be angry...please dont be angry.." she said under her breath. She pressed answer and she slowly put the phone to her ear. "Hellooo?"

 

Ed was suprised she answered. *ahem*

"Let me guess. You were asleep, and freaked when I called," He said, sounding irritated on purpose, even though he wasn't. "I'm waiting outside. You ready?"

 

"uh-huh Yeah Im ready dont sweat it! I'm on my way down, ow...." She looked out the window and saw Ed sitting impatiently in his car. She grabbed her house keys and ran down the stairs. "Mum, I'm going now! bye!" She jumped out of the front door and without closing it she ran to the car. 'man, its freezing'. She opened the car door and slid in swiftly. "Sorry I'm late...i was....." she paused while thinking of a good excuse apart from sleeping.

 

Will slung the jacket over his shoulders and slid his arms into it. "Nice and snug..." He grunted, buttoning up the first three buttons on the jacket. He went to his desk and turned on his phone, letting it power up. He then flipped through his numbers, finding Kyuu's. He clicked her name, setting it to call. "I know your up..." He said, tapping his guitar's head absentmindedly.

 

Trump jumped to his bed after playing soccer with his friends, he was really tired. "What a day..." thought Trump. He just realized he forgotten something, so he thought that maybe it just he got some homework, so he immediately moved to do some homework. "Lets see... science huh?" thought Trump.

As he gonna start, a long breaking silence happened. Then he closed his book and put it on the rack. "Easy as Pie. Gonna do it later." said Trump.

He still remembered something that important, but he just can't remember. But as he looked to Calender, he just realized something. ".....31st October?" said Trump.

Then he remembered something that he forgot.

 

As he rolled off the bed, Gotcha woke up just before hitting the ground. He was used to it by now, and so didn't make a sound apart from the thud that shook his small creaky room. "What time is it?" he said as he sat up.
He tried looking at the clock but he was feeling much to groggy to read it. Now standing up, he opened the curtains noticing the sun was not up. "Suns not up yet, guess I could fit in a few more hours" he thought.
Looking at the clock once more he read "5", he thought he didn't get enough sleep but for some reason he felt quite refreshed. Quickly grabbing a towel and a set of fresh clothes he jumped in the shower and started singing... and showering.

 

"Gonna ask the nub about if he's gonna join the halloween party." said Trump. He immediately wrote Gotcha a short message rather than calling him, because he is a cheapskate.

"Yo nub, are you gonna join the party at the night? I'm still thinking about it, yet i haven't found someone to invite. Yeah i know, i'm too lazy to ask."

"Oh well, maybe i should take some rest. Beside, lots of energy wasted on soccer game. Lets see what will happen..." thought Trump as he jumped to his bed and take some nap

Hopping out of the shower, Gotcha picked up his phone reading the message. "Tonight? what is he on about?"
He looked out the window again and still noticed no sun. Now the clock, it pointed near 6 o'clock. "Fffffffff... How long did I sleep for!" he yelled to himself.
He knows he does not take long to get ready, but seeing how he never organised transportation, he had to run to the mansion by foot. He jumped into his jeans and pulled on the costume. His shoes were no problem as he slipped them on and before leaving he picked up his mask, phone, wallet and made a sandwich. He locked the doors and shoved the sandwich in his mouth, pulled out his phone and sent a message back saying one word which should explain his situation as he ran towards the masquerade, "Crrrrrraaaaaaaapppp!"

 

((ROFL Libertine!))

Ed grinned. "You were," He began, driving toward the abandoned mansion. "Sleeping?" He always enjoyed Lily's erratic personality. She was a very fun person. . .so long as she didn't oversleep.
