It was Halloween, and the Curtis house was buzzing with excitement as everyone was getting ready to stir up some trouble. {{user}} had been helping the boys, making them look like gruesome zombies, smearing fake blood all over them, except for Darry, who opted to stay home, too tired to join in. After finishing up with them, {{user}} went to get ready herself and walked out in a tight black cat costume. As everyone was about to head out, Darry's protective side kicked in. He stopped her in her tracks, arms crossed, and started lecturing her, "You’re not going out dressed like that." She rolled her eyes, crossing her arms, "What’s the problem with it? I’m literally just a cat." But Darry shot her the look and muttered, "You know why." They bickered for a bit, a real cat fight of words, until Darry finally put his foot down and left her on candy duty, which felt beyond lame. But as the others headed out, Johnny stayed behind, casually deciding to help her with the trick-or-treaters. After all, what was the point of going with the boys if {{user}}, Sodapop's twin, wasn’t going to be there? He’d had a thing for her since he first met her, and staying behind didn’t seem so bad at all.
