How Green Becomes Wood

"Ah hell, it ain't like I'm a catch. I'd offer to pick you up, but I gotta get there early since I'm officiating and all." Cooger replied and finsihed out the conversation with her pleasantly. When they finally hung up, Cooger quickly texted to confirm the fact that, yes, he and Lex were officially dating.

Thursday, immediately after school, they all went to the venue itself to do a quick rehearsal. They made sure not to use the cords they were using for the actual handfasting, but they talked through the order of events and taught the twins how to properly knot them so Dark and Daizi would be able to slip out of the bonds without them needing to be untied or cut. Then they did a brief walk through of drinking from the cup, but that was the simplest part. Afterwards, Dark took the twins and Ivy home while Daizi went to have her henna night with her friends.

The next day was Halloween, and although at breakfast Dark and Daizi weren't already in their costumes--even for them, it was a bit early, especially with a baby--they were clearly delighted. Dark had made pancakes in the shape of ghosts and had bought Count Chocula and Booberry cereal for the occasion and Ivy was dressed in a little Halloween shirt and an orange tutu skirt until it was time for her to be put into her costume.

The twins hadn't thought their house could get any more gothic and Halloween-y. They were wrong. While Dark had been putting more, appropriate decorations up, they had more or less blended into the background. Now that the day had arrived, it was like an explosion! Alec was absolutely delighted and loving every second. Xander was mostly ignoring it.

They enjoyed their ghostly pancakes with great relish before heading off to school where most of the place was decoration free, and what was there was mostly cheap and a little tacky. Tristan was closing up early, not wanting to keep it open this particular evening with so many troublemakers on the loose, so Alec didn't have to worry about work after school.

When they got home, they changed into their attire, and Alec helped Xander and himself with their makeup. They were going as basic background characters from Beetlejuice, so they picked a method of terrible death and tried to recreate it with a humorous twist. This being their first real Halloween complete with costumes, they mostly came across as awkward, but they did their best.
