(Sophia's gonna get Jace out of the dance before the glitter waterfall!)
Chase grinned. "Oh, it will be perfect," he said, a glitter in his eyes as he thought about the prank he and Ash would play. He took a few licks of his ice cream cone.
"I mean, do whatever. I just think it's pretty darn fun dressing up with Arlo," he said. He was about to say more, but he saw Ash getting her clothes back on and making her way away from the beach.
"Sorry, I have to go... uh, check on Ash," he said, before turning and jogging after the other girl. He liked Victoria, but Ash was his friend. Friends are more important than girlfriends.
Chase caught up with Ash and took another lick from his ice cream cone. "Hey, what was that about?" he asked, gently placing his free hand on her arm. "Is Vincent a creep or something?" he asked. He'd figured the two of them would score their Halloween dance dates, but it didn't look as if Ash was dying to go out with Vincent.
"I can take you home," he offered, gently steering her towards his car and pulling out his keys. He took a few more licks of his ice cream before moving onto the cone, biting into the thin shell.
He glanced towards Vincent, who was standing knee deep in the water, watching Ash go with a sad expression.

"Yep. See ya then." She waved and headed for the door, smiling still. She knew that the team of Jace, John, and her were going to ROCK this dance.

((WAIT. We should have glitter waterfall happen at the end of Jace and Annabelle's performance. XD
I think I'm going to make Jace's Super Secret Costume just be, like, a cape and a cheap mask. XD And Ash will be like "Dude, everyone is going to recognize you." Or the Flash because Jace in a full-bodied the Flash costume would, in my opinion, be hilarious.))

((... I don't know why I'm having so much difficulty deciding on Jace's costume. >.>))
((Hehe... a glitter in Chase's eye as he thought about the glitter. XD))
Victoria was about to reply when Chase excused himself to go check on Ash. "Uh, yeah, no problem. I guess I'll see you at the dance?" She asked, but Chase was basically already gone. She shrugged and, with ice cream still in hand, walked down to the beach to talk with Vincent.
"No, it's... fine. My dad is mad that I skipped out on school, so I told him I was helping Drake and Jace out with the dance." Ash explained. Well, she wasn't lying at least. Not for the most part, anyway. She did need to go help Jace out and find out what Drake's "The Jace has come out! How good are you at makeup?" text meant. Surely Jace hadn't come out as gay and told Drake before her, although she wouldn't be surprised.
"I can walk. Home isn't too far away, and if my dad is there, seeing you is not going to make anything better." She replied, although her dad was most likely not at home. "Umm, I'll see you at the dance tomorrow, alright?" Ash asked with a faint smile.
Another text came in on Ash's phone, from Drake, that simply read; What about Deadpool? Or Wonder Woman? What was he doing to her brother?
"And I'm flying solo to the dance. I don't think I really want to date right now."

((I'm so excited, and I'm totally looking up costumes. XD Maybe I can make him Robin Hood! I love Robin Hood, but no mask. ;-; Or Zorro. >=3 Do you guys know Zorro? When I was ten, I showed up at school dressed up as Zorro, and my best friend was also Zorro. XD
Perfect. XD Jace needs more reasons to hate Chase, obviously.))

(Or Batman. I could see Jace as a Batman?
Either way we just need to make sure his real dance costume is cheap and junky so Sophia can work her magic XD
Chase just does everything Jace doesn't like XD and it sucks for Jace cause Chase is at his house a lot more cause of Ash until Jace kicks her out and jack/Sophia move in)

;-; Poor Jace... having Chase problems. XD
Is everyone ready to start the dance?! =3 I'm just going to casually duplicate Drake so that he can be starting up the dance. XD And helping get the music stuff ready.))

Drake and Mason had shown up early to the dance. Drake had invited Mason as his "date" and signed the paperwork and what not to get him into the school dance... mainly so he could help Drake out with some last minute preparations, but also so that he could show Mason just how cool school was and why he should come back.
Drake was chattering away nonstop to Mason about who the heck knows what while the two brothers set out food and drinks. They had a punch bowl that was not spiked as of yet, plenty of pops to choose from, and water bottles. There were also chips, which they were dumping into bowls. Drake had also convinced someone to bake some delicious Halloween cupcakes that had pumpkins and other Halloween-y things on them and then, of course, there was plenty of pizza.
"You have such a stupid costume." Drake complained.
"What's wrong with it?!" Mason replied. "Yours isn't great, either."
"Mason, you're wrong." Drake paused from dumping chips in bowls to look at his brother. "I am adorable." He had little black cat ears and then Ash had nicely painted a black nose and whiskers onto Drake's face. He was, indeed, adorable. Drake was then wearing all black -- black Converse sneakers, black pants, and a black sweater, and then he had also borrowed a little dog collar with a little bell from Jace's old dog from years ago.
"You look ridiculous. You're wearing a collar."
"Because I'm a house cat! House cats wear collars!"
"You don't even have a tail!"
"Tails are expensive! And I still look better than you!"
Mason had just worn his typical outfit, although his shirt did have a Jack-O-Lantern on it, and then had pulled a simple cloak over the top of it with a nifty hood that he could pull up to cover his face. "I look fantastic."
Drake just rolled his eyes and went back to pouring bags of chips into bowls.
--
Meanwhile, Ash was helping Jace get ready for the dance. Drake had, thankfully, picked him up a simple Zorro costume, which Jace was now trying to squeeze into.
"You look great!" Ash said cheerfully as she helped him zip it up, and then tie the cape around his neck.
"I feel ridiculous."
"Halloween costumes are ridiculous." Ash had planned on going as an angel, but then decided that the wings would have been annoying. Instead, she had picked out some Greek costume. It had the simple white dress with the golden band around the stomach. She also had a golden headband which she wore around the top of her head, and then she had done herself up in some fancy makeup.
"Yeah, I guess so." Jace sighed as Ash plucked the yellow beanie from the top of his head and he pulled the mask down over his face.
"You know you can't take the hat out with you, right? That'll give you away." Ash told him as she tied the mask behind his head.
"I have to. That hat is my lucky charm, Ash. I've never been without it." He whined.
"I know, but you're gonna have to survive. I'll just leave it in here, okay?"
"What if someone steals it?"
"No one is going to--"
"But what if someone does?"
"Fine, fine! I'll keep it with me, alright?" Ash asked, although she had nowhere to put it. "Or I'll have Mason put it in his pocket, okay? It'll be fine."
Jace hesitantly nodded his head in agreement as he strapped the fake sword around his waist.

Tamara opened the door, carrying her DJ stand that folded into a boombox and glanced around. It was hard to tell because of the contacts, but her eyes met the ground as she started to walk toward the stage.

Arlo and Chase arrived at the dance right on time. Both boys had thrown sheets over their head with eye holes. Chase, of course, had cut a mouth hole into his so he could eat and drink.
Arlo didn't.
"I'm gonna go find Ash," Chase said. He made his way away from his brother and on search of the girl. They'd already stored their glitter up on the ceiling and Chase had talked to Drake about him working lights and going up there to mess with some stuff after the live music.
When he couldn't find Ash, he sent her a text and hung out at the tables, popping a chip into his mouth. He saw Arlo a few feet away, flirting with a girl, and gave him a thumbs up.
Arlo made a face, said something to the girl, and walked away. Arlo glared at Chase.
"What?" Chase asked.
"She thought I was you," Arlo muttered. He turned away from his brother and went to grab something to drink.
***
Sophia and Mia arrived at the together. Sophia was dressed up as a zombie pop star diva, with extreme care out into her make up and costume. Mia was a zombie doctor.
"You looking for Mason?" Sophia asked, nudging her cousin.
Mia shrugged, unsure if she should give up the fact that her and Mason weren't dating and the date had just been to get Jace and Sophia together.
"I don't know. He's probably not here. He dropped out, remember? You looking for anyone special?" Mia asked.
Sophia blushed a bit under her makeup. "Jace. We had a good time ditching Ash's party, so I'm going to see if he wants to duh the dance," she said.
Mia grinned. "Great, well if I see Jace, I'll tell him you're looking for him."
The two went their separate ways. Sophia found herself near the stage, sipping on a soda after she turned down a guy that had waned to dance with her.
Mia was sitting down at a table on her phone. She wasn't much of a dance kind of person, but had been brought by Sophia again.

((*excited squeal*
Oh my gosh, Arlo. XD))
"You'll do fine," Ash said as she helped Jace get his hat on. He looked like a completely different person and she certainly wouldn't recognize him. "So, after you guys are done, come back here and we'll switch you into vampire, alright?"
Jace nodded his head. "Of course," he said and then picked up his guitar and headed out. People were already starting to gather, and he felt nervous.
"Hey," he smiled nervously at Annabelle as he got up on the stage. Him and Drake had put most of the stuff together before the dance had started. "So, I think Drake is going to introduce us and then we'll start." He said as he adjusted the microphone.
About this time, Drake came bouncing over. "Hey, Sophia!" He said brightly and waved at the girl before he looked back at the stage. "Alright, Zorro and Tamara. Zeze and Tam-Tam. Are you two ready?"
--
Ash had waited a few minutes after Jace had exited to follow after him into the dance. Her phone beeped and she looked down at the screen to see a text from Chase. Well, no point in replying now. She would just find him out there.
First, she headed out to find Mason and give him Jace's hat.
Mason and Drake had just finished up with the chips and were tossing the bags or now.
"I need you to hide this in your pocket and give it to Jace when the live music ends." She whispered to Mason.
He nodded his head and slipped it into a pocket of his jeans. "Well do, captain." Mason said and fake saluted Ash. "You got a date?"
She laughed. "No, I wanted to be single tonight."
"Alright, well, be careful?" Mason may have worried about Ash like she was his little sister.
Ash rolled her eyes and walked away. "Please. You're the most dangerous guy here." She smirked at him.
Mason sighed and shook his head, then leaned back against the table and looked around. He caught sight of Mia by herself and figured he might as well go say hello.
He walked over, squeezing between the teens, and then calmly said; "Hey, Mia."

(Arlo is my child)
Sophia waved at Drake when he greeted her. Maybe she'd ask if he'd seen Jace. The two were close, weren't they?
For now, however, she just stayed where she was and leaned up against a table, watching the music and waiting for t to start.
***
Chase spotted Ash in the distance and wandered over towards her after she and Mason separated.
"Hey, betcha can't guess who this spooky ghost is," he said, waving his arms around like a ghost and making a 'booooooo' noise.
"I'll give you a hint. I came with another guy that looks a lot like me and also I have a ton of glitter hidden in the ceiling," he said, only his eyes and mouth visible in his costume.
Mia glanced up when she saw Mason. "Hey, Mason. Kinda surprised you're here," she commented. She patted the seat next to her, inviting him to sit down next to her.
(This is terribly short but I typed the whole thing in the subway line XD)

((Arlo is cute. XD
They look good to me. I have made many a reply in a line waiting for food. XD))
Ash laughed. "Arlo, is that you?" She joked and then grinned. "Hey, Chase. You look... great." She said and looked him up and down.
She looked around before leaning in closer to Chase. "Are you ready to dump glitter on everyone? I'm thinking we do right when they're finishing the live music." She said with a somewhat evil smile.
--
"Yeah, Drake made me come to help him out with some last minute things." Mason shrugged. He didn't mind coming to help. "Although I'm pretty sure part of it has to do with him hoping that me being here will convince me to come back to school."
He laughed and shook his head, then looked up at the stage where they were getting ready. Man. Jace looked completely different. "I'm surprised to see you here."

(Arlo is... unique XD)
(Woooh subway posts!)
"Not the first time tonight someone's gotten us confused," Chase said. He nodded to where Arlo was sulking in the corner. "A girl talked to him thinking he was me. Poor kiddo."
"Is Jace on stage?" He asked, knowing her brother was into music. "Cause if so, I am totally up for dropping a butt load of glitter on him," he teased, nudging her. "Lets head up there and just hang out till they're done."
***
Mia nodded, listening to him. She'd thought that, but Mason told her t wouldn't be that easy to get him back to school. Maybe Drake had more hope for his brother than Mia did.
"Sophia dragged me along. She did say she's going to ask Jace to ditch when she finds him," she said, betraying her cousin's plan. Hey, if anyone was supportive of that, it'd be Mason, right?
She sighed, spinning her phone around in her hands. "She even put together this costume for me. Sophia's really into the costume and make up stuff."

"Most definitely." Tamara nodded with her perfect British accent. She pulled on her bass. She shifted her weight and remembered that no one knew who she really was besides the people onstage.

Baily stood to the side, leaning against the wall and in all just being the little wall flower that she was. She wasn't one for dressing up, so she was just wearing a red turtleneck and jeans. Her brother insisted on her putting something on that was halloweeny, so he had plopped a pair of cat ears on her and shoved her out the door. She didn't know why she had come. Her brother was going somewhere with his friends and she didn't know anyone else. Well, she knew them, but not as friends. She took a sip of the punch in her hand and watched the band prepare to play. It would be fun to be up there, but she only knew how to play the cello, and because this was a dance for teens she suspected they wouldn't be playing very much classical, which was really all she played. Of course there were a few songs that weren't classical that she knew, but those were only cause they were her favorites. Baily sighed and stared down at her punch. Maybe she would go for a walk, not like she would actually do anything here except watch the others dance. And most likely it wouldn't be dancing but teens grinding against each other. So scratch that, she wasn't actually going to do anything other than stand here and be an introvert.

"Aww, poor Arlo." Ash looked over at the poor twin. "I would totally hook him up with one of my single friends, but I don't really have any." She said with a laugh.
"Does this mean there's another girl that likes you? Wow. Look at you go, Chase." She shook her head. "Who knew you would be so popular with the ladies."
"Uh, nope. He is mostly definitely not on that stage. It's obviously just Zorro and... I think Drake said Tamara?" She replied. "You want to head up now? But they're playing all sorts of songs before it'll be time for us to dump the glitter."
--
"Oh, really?" Mason grinned. "So your plan worked and Sophia is totally into Jace?" He laughed and looked through the crowds of people until he saw Sophia.
"I wish I could say the same about Jace, but I don't think he's really talked about her." He replied, then frowned. "Although, we had no idea that Jace liked his first and only girlfriend until he showed up at our front door in a blind panic because he wanted help asking her out."
Mason studied Mia's face for a moment. "I think it looks really good. You look very scary and cute." He decided.
--
"Great!" Drake smiled and hopped up on the stage. He took Jace's microphone, which he had to lower so he could properly speak, and started speaking into it. "If I could get everyone's attention!" He called out and then smiled. "Thank you for coming, everyone. I would like to present our live music for part of the night. They're, uh, in costume, so just give it up for Tamara and Zorro!" With that, he hopped off the front of the stage and landed in a cool pose on the ground.
Jace's heart was beating fast as he stepped up to the microphone, readjusting it so he could sing into it properly. Poor Drake was cursed with being somewhat short.
He looked over at Tamara and mouthed the word "Ready?"

"Arlo likes to think he's a ladies man, so he gets kinda crushed when a girl likes me instead," Chas said, beginning to sweat underneath his costume. He shrugged. "I'm sure he'll find his own girl some day. He doesn't need us setting him up," he said, his eyes locked on his brother for a moment. He shook his had and turned back to Ash.
"Well, why wouldn't I be?" Chase asked, actually looking confused at the idea. "I'm good looking. Funny. I'm a gentleman," he said with a laugh before adding, "and so, so modest as well." He liked to pick fun at himself. If he couldn't laugh at himself, how could he make others laugh?
Chase nodded, looking at the two on stage. He shrugged a bit. "Just figured you'd be the type to enjoy covering your older bro in glitter. I know I'm gonna enjoy seeing Arlo in a sparkly pink ghost costume."
He made his way a bit closer to the ladder. "Yeah, I don't want anyone to prevent us from being late to knock the glitter down, so I figured we could head up right away. we can still hear music and chat, but nobody would get in our way."
***
Mia found herself smiling a bit. "Yeah, but I think she has been into him since the party. He's just so different than the guys she usually dates and I think it's a nice breath of fresh air," she said with a shrug, then glanced at Mason.
"She also thinks we're madly in love. She asked if I was going to come find you while she searched for Jace. Looks like I had more luck," she said, spotting Sophia without Jace at her side. "Did he come to the dance?"
Mia laughed a little. "Jace sounds adorable. I mean, maybe he's just not as desperate as some high schoolers. More of a go with the flow, 'if I meet her I'll ask her out' kinda guy," she said. Though she was rooting for her cousin, she'd never push Jace into a relationship he didn't want to be in.
"Thanks," Mia said with a little smile. "Definitely more comfortable than the dress and six pounds of makeup that normally come with me being Sophia's little dress up doll," she said, shaking her head. "She bought it'd be cute if we did zombie stuff. She's a pop star. I'm a doctor. When we go to our family party, Jack's gonna be a zombie football player. He's just a bit old for the dance."
