   AEGFF Chapter 11!!!
Well, here ya go, chapter 11!

Chapter 11

Slowly, the day of the Halloween party rolled around. Max had been assured by Miss Marpole that she’d helped Goofy decorate for Halloween; he’d almost set up Christmas decorations. Max allowed himself a laugh at that idea, his father in a Santa suit giving out candy canes to children who came to the door. ‘What’s scarier than being wished a Merry Christmas on Halloween?’ Max thought, grinning. He stopped by Tera’s dorm room, knocking lightly on the door. Joyce answered it, wearing a witch’s cape and some very skimpy clothing underneath.

“Whaddaya want?” Joyce grumbled, chewing a wad of gum, “oh right, you’re one of Tera’s friends. She’s getting dressed up in her costume; she’ll be out in a bit.” Max nodded and stepped into the room, fully dressed in his zombie football player. He sat down on what he though was Joyce’s bed; it was covered in stuffed animals, and a little black cat doll with orange eyes. Joyce sat down on the other bed, her witch cloak open and revealing most of her body to Max.

“So, I guess you’re Max?” Joyce asked, grinning when Max nodded dumbly, “Tera talks about you guys a lot. She gets angry when people sit on her bed, so you might want to stand up. And do watch out for Koko.” Joyce grinned again at Max’s reaction. The bed covered in stuffed animals was Tera’s? He moved a few stuffed animals to reveal a black comforter covered in spiderwebs; it was definitely Tera’s bed.

“That’s weird. She doesn’t strike me as a plushie kind of person.” Max said, smiling at Joyce, “how’s her costume look?” As soon as that sentence left Max’s mouth, he began to regret it. Joyce blathered on about how hot she looked in it, and how well it defined her curves. By the time she had finished, Tera walked into the room. She was wearing a blue kimono adorned with black cherry blossoms and black spiderwebs. Also, she was wearing a fishnet t-shirt and shorts underneath; of course, Max’s eyes were on her head.

“Nice make-up.” Max grinned, noticing the blue eye shadow she had on, “and the ponytail isn’t too bad either. You look awesome.” Tera grinned and said thank you, adjusting her spike adorned wristbands and her neck ribbon. Lifting Max off her bed by his hand, she told Joyce not to wait up for her. Then, the two friends left the room, and meandered through the hallway back to Max’s dorm room.

They picked up P.J. and Bobby there, who both looked very good in their costumes. Bobby looked a lot taller; he was wearing platform shoes with fake fish in the bottom. This would probably be the only time they’d ever see P.J. as skin and bones, so Tera took a picture of the four of them with a digital camera she’d found in a pizza box in their dorm. Then, it was off to the club.

When they arrived at the club, they realized they had the tamest costumes their. Tera was the only one of them showing skin, and that was only ONE of her legs. Everyone else, including the guys, were standing around half naked. Tera didn’t complain, as many of the guys were very hot, but she didn’t mention it. She got in some dancing, but basically ended up dancing alone; the other guys didn’t feel very comfortable being around sweaty men in man thongs. When Tera finally came back to their table, she’d brought a plate-full of nachos and 4 colas, as her costume hadn’t fooled the bartender into giving her beer.

“Well, might as well dig in. It doesn’t look like we’re gonna get to do much else.” Tera grumbled, taking a long swig from her cola. The guys nodded and drank from their soda bottles. Tera was sitting very close to Max, but neither seemed to notice. One of the particularly wet girls came over to Max and started talking to Max; he felt somewhat obligated to talk with her, but Tera felt a little jealous. She tried to get Max’s attention, and ended up leaning very close to Max.

“Max, I have something I want to tell you!” Tera hissed, her head relatively close to Max’s. When he turned around to answer her, his words were drowned out. Mainly because his mouth had been interlocked with Tera’s. It was a total accident; at least, that’s what they referred to it as. They’d ended up lip-locked in front of Bobby and P.J. The two blushed furiously for a moment, breaking apart when Bobby and P.J. burst out laughing.

“So… you, uh, had something to… tell me?” Max managed to say, looking away from Tera embarrassedly. She too was looking away, mainly to hide the fact that she was blushing bright red. How could she go through with it now? There was no way she could tell him. He’d think they’d made out on purpose! She couldn’t have that.

“Nevermind.” Tera said quietly, looking into her cola bottle. Not much else happened after that; if anything did, no one remembered it. They were too preoccupied with Max and Tera’s kiss. They left the party a little embarrassed, and Tera went to bed as soon as she got back to her dorm. When Joyce asked her what was wrong, all Tera could say was, “remind me not to take your advice. It got me into a bad situation tonight.”

“Why? Wait, no, lemme guess. You were about to tell Max that you liked him, you were leaning really close, and when he turned around, you two accidentally made out!” Joyce grinned, receiving an incredulous stare from Tera. When she asked how she knew, Joyce simply replied that she had been talking to Max when it happened. She grinned and turned off the light, feeling she did not need to elaborate further on the topic.

Well, as I say all the time, read and review. Comments keep me going!
