Just Give Me the Freakin' Candy!
(the ramble room is deserted. suddenly the door opens and lark enters with sephiroth)
Lark: ".....so, in conclusion, that is why you've been chosen to help me decorate for the party."
Sephiroth: *blinks* "Why didn't you just say everyone else was busy?"
Lark: *thinks, then shrugs* "Less exciting that way." *starts unpacking decorations*
Sephiroth: *sighs* "I don't see why we have to have a Halloween party. I don't even have a costume."
Lark: "Halloween parties are fun! And besides..." *grin* "Yes you do."
Sephiroth: *sweat drops* "Oh no..."
Lark: *happily* "I got one for you!"
Sephiroth: *pales* "Let me guess. I'm some kind of cat."
Lark: "No! You'll like your costume! Promise!"
Sephiroth: *sighs* "Fine." *takes a sip of water*
Lark: "We'll be a threesome!"
Sephiroth: *spits out water in shock* "WHAT?!"
Lark: *giggles* "Not *that* kind of threesome! Relax, Sephy-sama. It just means you, me and Heero are all wearing costumes that go together."
Sephiroth: *disappointed* "Oh."
Lark: "Plus, I've invited someone else to the party." *starts putting up streamers*
Sephiroth: *urgently* "Real world or anime world."
Lark: "Real."
Sephiroth: "Male or female?"
Lark: "Male." *grins* "And he's such a cutie too."
Sephiroth: "Grrrr..."
Lark: "Why don't you use some of that hot air of yours to blow up some balloons?" *smile*
Sephiroth: *dryly*
"Ha ha."
Sephiroth: "I don't mind this costume so much. It *is* black."
Lark: "I knew you would like it!" *fixes herself in the wall mirror*
Sephiroth: "....So who's Heero dressing up as."
Lark: "Percy. My husband."
Sephiroth: *frowns* "Oh." *pause* "Then who am I?"
Lark: "My ex-lover. You see...it's kind of like a love triangle."
Sephiroth: *mutters* "Like it isn't already..."
(the door opens and vincent and tseng come in. vincent is dressed as Mr. Hyde and Tseng is Dr. Jekyll)
Lark: "Aw!! You two look so cute!!"
Tseng: *smiles* "Thank you."
Vincent: "You both look lovely."
Sephiroth: "I don't look lovely! I look....uh....."
Lark: "Dashing?"
Sephiroth: "I'll take it." *grins* "Yes! I am dashing!"
Vincent: "Um. All right, angel. You look dashing."
Sephiroth: "Thank you." *mutters* "And that nickname..." *twitch*
Lark: *checks time* "Whoa! Everyone's going to be here soon!!"
Tseng: "I was wondering...who's going to answer the door when the trick or treaters come?"
Lark: *pause* "Uh....I hadn't thought of that.....I'll figure it out later when everyone's here."
(there's a knock at the door)
Lark: "Ooh! Party time!" *opens the door*

Heero: *eyes narrow* "I'll destroy you."

Seifer: "You wish! I'm Ken cause *I'm* her boyfriend!"
Lark: "Um...hi, Jackie."
Jackie: "Happy Halloween!"
Lark: "Why did you dress up as Barbie?"
Jackie: *sweat drops* "I always wanted to know what it felt like to be ditzy!"

Treize: "You're just jealous. You can't pull this off."
Heero: "Sure I could."
Lark: *pats him on the shoulder* "Don't get yourself into this, Heero, unless you're prepared to back it up."
Heero: *sweat drops* "I see your point." *walks away*

Sephiroth: *dryly* "Ha ha."
Twilight: "What's your problem? Couldn't get the masamune shiny enough?"
Opal: "That's not nice, Twilight." *sits down next to sephiroth* "What's the matter, Sephiroth?"
Sephiroth: *turns and looks at her in surprise* *then he looks at twilight* "She is showing concern for me. Why?"
Twilight: *sits next to opal and puts an arm around her* "She's nice to everyone. Even people no one else likes like us!"
Wufei: *comes over* "Hello, friends."
Twilight: *frowns* "And him."
Sephiroth: "I'm upset cause Lark doesn't like me."
Wufei: "Ew! Good! Who wants to be liked by that stupid whore?"
Sephiroth: *jumps to his feet* *starts choking wufei* "I DO!"
Wufei: *trying to breathe* "Help.........me.........."
Rude: "Yes, Sephiroth! Choke him!! Kill him!"
Opal: "Um....that's not nice, Sephiroth."
Sephiroth: "It's making me feel better!"
Wufei: "I'm.......not........feeling..........too..........good......."
Twilight: "Heh heh! He's in pain!"
Sephiroth: *sighs* *releases wufei* "You're not worth my time."

(meanwhile....tj is still getting lectured by the ff guys)
Rufus: "But, mostly everyone here is nice to one another....for the most part.
Michelle: "I hate Zell!"
Reno: "Lots of people hate Zell."
TJ: "Why?"
Irvine: *shrugs* "We had a club on how we hated him once, but Lark made us disband it. I don't even hate him. I just don't like him much."
Rufus: "And Seifer can get very ass lancing."
TJ: "......ass lancing?"
Reno: "It means annoying. Don't worry. You'll pick it up."
TJ: "Um....okay."
Michelle: "Jackie and I also hate Rinoa. But Jackie hates her more."
TJ: "Why?"
Michelle: "Cause she's a crack whore."
TJ: "Why do you say that?"
Michelle: ".....she just is!"
TJ: "Um....okay. What else?"
Irvine: "Sephiroth doesn't really get along with anyone, so don't expect to befriend him."
Reno: "Yeah, his only friend besides Lark is Twilight."
TJ: "Twilight?"
Michelle: "He's Shell's alter ego." *whispers* "He's weird. I'd stay away from him."
Rufus: "His girlfriend Opal is really nice though."
Irvine: "But don't dare compliment her looks or Twilight will kill you."
TJ: *sweat drops* "There certainly are a lot of things to remember...."
Reno: "But most importantly, you must hate the Gundam Wing boys."
TJ: "Why? I like Gundam Wing!"
(the guys step away from him)
Quatre: "Hooray!"
Rufus: *mutters* "Reno.....we have to fix that."
Reno: "I'll get on it."
Irvine: "The last thing we need is more supporters for their side."
TJ: *sweat drops* "Is something wrong?"
Irvine: "No. Nothing."
Rufus: "Maybe we better tell him about *them*."
TJ: *more sweat drops* "Them?"
Reno: *calmly* "Just remember this. Hojo, Scarlet, Nida and Heidegger are inherantly evil. Lark hates them. A lot. They aren't allowed *near* here. So steer clear."
TJ: *shrugs* "Okay."
Irvine: *grins* "I think you'll fit in just fine, partner."
Reno: "As soon as we fix that whole Gundam Wing thing...."
TJ: "Huh?"
Irvine, Reno, and Rufus: *quickly* "Nothing."
(meanwhile.....)
Lark: "Um....why is Sephiroth chasing Wufei?"
Heero: "I hope they kill each other."
Lark: "Heero!!" *sighs* "I don't want them ruining my party. You stop Wufei, and I'll stop Sephiroth."
Heero: "Mission Accepted." *goes after wufei*
Lark: "SEPHIROTH!"
Sephiroth: *stops dead* "Yes? Are you calling my name?"
Lark: "Yes. Come over here, please."
Sephiroth: *trots over* "Yes?"
Lark: "Why are you chasing Wufei?"
Sephiroth: "He said I was weak!"
Lark: "All right, but can you kill him later? That way you won't ruin the party."
Sephiroth: *mutters* "The party was pretty dead anyway."
Lark: "Hey!"
Sephiroth: *sweat drops* "Heh heh...."
Heero: *comes over, dragging wufei* "Mission complete."
Lark: "Good job, Heero."
Heero: "I'd much rather work for you than Dr. J." *shudders* "Sometimes I can still hear that claw clicking..."
Sephiroth: ".....you were raised by a crazy doctor too?"
Heero: *shudders* "Yes...."
Sephiroth: "Did he do experiments on you?"
Heero: "All the time!"
Wufei: "Can you let me go?"
Sephiroth: "Me too!"
Heero: "It's good to know there's someone that understands my pain!"
Sephiroth: "All too well."
Wufei: "Ugh! Gag me! Let me go, weakling!" *heero drops him* "Jerk." *goes off*
Lark: "See! You two have something in common!" *smiles* "Do you still hate one another?"
Sephiroth and Heero: *eyes narrow* "Yes."
Lark: *sighs*
(shell reenters dressed as esmerelda from hunchback)
Wufei: "What?! What's this?!"
Shell: "I changed. I didn't want to be associated with you any more. You're a meany." *sticks out her tongue*
Wufei: "WHAT?!?"
Rude: *comes over* "Shell? You changed?"
Shell: "Yup!"
Rude: *smiles* "I like it."
Wufei: "I hate all you people!"
(it's later...everyone has left but lark, tj, sephiroth and rufus)
Lark: "You know, this party didn't get as out of hand as usual."
TJ: "I had fun."
Lark: "I'm glad you did!"
TJ: "Rufus, Reno and Irvine were telling me about everything."
Lark: "Did they tell you about the phone?"
TJ: *sweat drops* "No...."
Lark: *sighs* "Figures. Come with me and I'll explain."
TJ: *grins* "Okay."
(lark and tj leave)
Rufus: "I like the new guy. He's pretty cool."
Sephiroth: *eyes narrow* "I don't like him."
Rufus: "You hate everyone."
Sephiroth: "...I don't trust that guy. I'm going to follow them."
Rufus: *sighs* "You are too much."
Sephiroth: "Come on, priss boy." *drags him out*
(they go to lark's room where things are a little too quiet for seph's taste)
Sephiroth: "Why is it so quiet?"
Rufus: "I don't know! Can I go now?"
Sephiroth: "No!"
(he opens the door to find tj behind lark, head back as tj goes to bite her neck)
Sephiroth: "OH MY G-D!!!" *goes to attack tj*
Rufus: *struggling to hold sephiroth back* "Now...Sephiroth....violence...is a bad thing!!"
Lark: *looks up, face red* "Oh! Sephiroth! Rufus!" *sweat drops* "What are you doing here!"
Sephiroth: *points to tj* "He was going to bite you!"
Lark: "What, did you think he was going to suck my blood?"
Sephiroth: *stops struggling* *sputters* "Um...I...um....yeah."
Lark and TJ: *laugh*
Sephiroth: "What's so funny?"
Rufus: *wiping his brow* "Think you could control your violent urges for awhile, 'Roth?"
Sephiroth: "Did I miss something here?"
(the doorbell rings)
Lark: "Ooh! Trick or treaters!! We haven't had any all night!!"
(all four of them go the door and lark opens it)
Hojo, Scarlet, Heidegger and Nida: *dressed as ghosts* "Trick or Treat!"
All: *look disgusted*
Lark: *slams the door shut* "Ugh."
Nida's Voice: "Hey! We just want candy!" *pause* "Okay, *and* the ramble room!"
Sephiroth: "GET LOST!"
Hojo, Nida, Scarlet and Heidegger's voices: "Eep!" *sounds of footsteps running*
Sephiroth: "Now. Where were we?"
Lark: "You and Rufus were leaving."
Rufus: "Right. We were." *starts dragging seph* "Come on, Sephiroth."
Sephiroth: *stutters as he's dragged off* "But....uh...I...uh!"
Lark: *waves* "Good night, Sephy-sama!"
(rufus and sephiroth are gone. lark and tj turn to each other and high five)
TJ: "We sure scared him."
Lark: "I knew he would try to follow me! The look on his face was priceless!"
TJ: *checks his watch* "I promised Michelle I'd come see her at midnight." *thinks* "Wonder what she wants to do..."
Lark: *trying to hide her smile* "Oh...I don't know..."
TJ: "So what are you going to do?"
Lark: *shrugs* "Probably just go to bed. I'm tired."
TJ: "All right. See you tomorrow."
Lark: "Yup."
(later....lark's asleep and sephiroth creeps into her room on tiptoe going next to her bed)
Sephiroth: "Oh....good...she is alone...." *rubs his hands together* "Good....now to scare her." *takes a deep breath*
Lark: *eyes still closed* "Don't even think about it, Sephiroth."
Sephiroth: *lets out his breath* "How'd you know it was me?"
Lark: *grins, sitting up* "I know you too well for my own good I think." *pats the space next to her* "Sit down."
Sephiroth: *sits* "I was trying to scare you!"
Lark: *strokes his hair* "Honey, you can't scare me! You're too cute!"
Sephiroth: *gently* "I'm not cute.....woman...." *smiles*
Lark: "You know, I really like Halloween. It's my second favorite holiday, after Christmas of course."
Sephiroth: "It's one of my favorites too."
Lark: "Right up there with St. Patrick's day?"
Sephiroth: *turns his head and looks her right in the eyes* "Oh yeah."
Lark: *blushes* "Happy Halloween, Sephiroth."
Sephiroth: *hesitates
somewhat before stroking her cheek* "Happy Halloween, Lark."
