Here Comes The Boogeyman [Deuce/Trey]

[Cinque (No. 5)]

With lazy steps Cinque wandered along the hallway, just checking out people’s costumes and daydreaming about everything and nothing. Halloween was always such a fun time of year. People got dressed up as witches or ghosts or other creepy things, the decorations were kind of haunting, and the whole thing just had a really mysterious vibe to it. Most people her age didn’t really think about that particular aspect of it anymore though… most people just cared about pretty costumes and having drinks. A lot of the costumes didn’t even make any sense. The guy at the store had tried to sell her an Alice outfit that didn’t even look like the actual Alice anymore, with a freakishly short skirt and awesomely high stockings and ribbons in places they didn’t belong. Cinque had given the man an odd look and again asked for the Alice outfit, the real one, not the fake ones. Why would anyone even get a fake one? That made no sense at all! You either wanted to dress up as a certain character or you didn’t. Oh well. Cinque had gotten her outfit in the end, so all was well now.

She was getting rather bored though. Standing around, drinking and socializing was all well and good, but it got dull quick, at least in her opinion. After Deuce had gotten into a conversation with Kayla, Cinque had just kind of wandered off on her own in search of something to do. She’d found a really cool guy dressed up as a ghost that she’d played around with for a short time, but he eventually had to go back to his friends. Cinque had searched for hers, but she hadn’t been able to find them, so she’d gone by their dorm rooms to check if any of them were there. They weren’t. The redhead sighed heavily as she finally entered the main hall again, where everyone was gathered to chit chat all night long, because they didn’t do that literally every other night. Was Cinque really the only one who wanted something special to do tonight? It sure looked like it. Her eyes scanned the crowd for any familiar faces, but she couldn’t spot anyone from Class Zero. That was, until her eyes landed on a tiny little person with a beard standing next to a tall blonde. Yeah! Trey and Deuce were always good company, or most of the time anyway. Some people got annoyed by Trey’s rambling, but Cinque barely even noticed it at all. It didn’t look like either of them were doing anything interesting… which made her frown. But almost as soon as her lips tilted downwards, they began to twitch back up again. She saw a good opportunity for some fun right here. Trey was curious, and Deuce was too nice to disagree with her. Yes, if anyone could be tricked into having a fun, adventure filled night, it was those two.

Putting on her best frightened expression, Cinque dashed towards them, “Deuce… Trey!” she called in an uncharacteristically soft and worried tone of voice as she ran up to them and grasped onto Deuce’s shoulders, purposely avoiding her usual cute nicknames for them. “It… it was awful…” she glanced up at Trey and gave him her best scared puppy dog look, “I… I was just walking outside, getting some fresh air, you know?” she gulped for some added effect, “A-And there was this huge… I think it was a chocobo… but it was really big, like twice the size of a regular one, if not bigger,” she crossed her arms and remained silent for a while. Not everyone knew this, but Cinque had a decent knack for acting. It helped that she had such a vivid imagination that she could almost convince herself her story was true. “It had these large, glowing yellow eyes!” she moved both her fists in front of her eyes and slowly expanded them to indicate just how big they were, “And when it saw me, they almost seemed to glow red… I-I didn’t see more than that, I was so scared I ran straight back here…” this time she turned to Trey and grasped his arm, “I think it might have been headed for the chocobo stables… what if he hurts them? Or eats them? Doesn’t Ace have a baby chocobo there? Trey, you have to do something… please?” Oh yes, she had them now.

[Trey]

"….I would think that we would need a competition before the night’s over to account for the kill count competition between Legolas and Gimli that the movies focused on more than the books. Oh, right, I didn’t remember to let you borrow the movies along with the books. They’re long, though, so I doubt you would have had time to watch more than whatever you watched of it in order to get your costume right. You did a fantastic job with it, by the way, if I hadn’t told you just yet. I particularly like the detail with the layering. I had trouble finding anything quite good enough for the undershirt that wouldn’t be too gaudy and distract from the shawl, but I think that I finally succeeded.”

Trey finally stopped speaking long enough to run a hand along the place where the upper layer of his costume met with the shirt he was wearing and scratch at his pointed ear yet again. With a few minutes having passed now since the majority of the school arrived for the party, Trey was now convinced that he and Deuce had done as good of a job as anyone with their costumes and was feeling pretty proud of it. Thus, he, having zoned out the rest of the room, was drowning his poor classmate in a dissertation about what Legolas’ and Gimli’s relationship represented and various things they could do to represent them well as the night went on and…essentially whatever else came to Trey’s mind. Now he was immediately concerned that Deuce had not seen the movies as of yet, and started rubbing at his chin as he considered a time to let her borrow them, or if at all possible, gather up some members of Class Zero to watch them as a group. It would be the closest that some of them ever got to a good piece of literature, and obviously worth the time it would take. ”Do you have anything to do Thursday night? I was thinking we could gather in one of the library’s rooms to watch the movies with some of the others... I know a few of them are free that night.”

Obviously, Trey would have seen fit to continue, but the sudden rushed approach of Cinque brought his thoughts to an end. Instead, he busied himself with seeing whom she had dressed up as and recognizing the reference immediately. ”Alice is a good choice for you, Cinque…” But as opposed to her usual bounciness and cooing over anything and everything, what Trey saw and heard from Cinque as she started speaking to them was something entirely different. His eyes narrowing at her as she started off on some explanation, Trey started to shrug her off a bit, knowing that she tended to get overly excited about the most mundane things. ”You may have seen a prop one of the other classes put up, Cinque. I know that Class…Four, maybe, had something strange planned for the evening that they didn’t want anyone to know about.” But still she spoke…of…some large chocobo-like creature? Well she could have simply seen a chocobo then that looked strange in the light, and Trey was preparing to warn her of that possibility as well.

Oddly enough, though, he could not remember a time when Cinque had sounded so genuinely concerned about something that didn’t turn out to be a genuine concern. Placing a quick glance on Deuce as Cinque pulled on him, Trey poked his head as if from out of the water to glance around the room and see what there was to see for a moment before looking back on the pair of younger girls. ”I suppose you could show us where you saw whatever it is you’re talking about,” he said, accommodatingly. ”It’s not like we’re needed in the room right this moment.”
