"So, what do you guys think?"  Cassia asked as she spun out of her closet, gesturing to her costume.
"You look like Lianna."  Reede proclaimed.
"What?  No.  I'm Debbie Harris."  Cassia defended.  "of course you'd think that."
"That is something Lianna might wear."  Patrick thought.
"Whoa.  You told her?"  Processed Reede.
"Sorry man.  I tell her everything."
"Yeah.  I'm sure."  Reede looked at Patrick accusingly.  Crossing his arms, he leaned back in his chair and glared at the would-be couple.
"I won't tell anyone Reede.  Not even my own sister."  Cassia promised.
"Whatever."  Reede rolled his eyes, still pouting.
"Nevertheless, you still look like you're in the Lianna fan club."  Redirected Patrick.
"Urgh.  Fine.  This wasn't a Debbie Harris outfit anyway.  I just wanted to wear it."  Cassia twirled around in a disappointed huff, and closed the closet door behind her.  A few moments later, she reemerged in a pink skirt, black vest, white tank top and red scarf.  Placing a white knit hat over her head, she asked, "So what do you think?"
"Looks good."  Patrick nodded slowly, glazing over her bare shoulders and down to her toned thighs.  "So who are you supposed to be?"
"Dawn."  Cassia paused as if it should have been obvious.  Seeing the still dumb stricken looks upon their faces, she continued.  "From Pokémon."
"No.  The girls name was Minnie and she wore tiny shorts with suspenders."  Protested Reede.  Patrick gave him a skeptical look, forcing Reede to add, "I live with a three year old."
"Actually her name was Misty and she was from the Kanto and Johto series.  Dawn doesn't show up until the Sinnoh region."  Corrected Cassia.
"Don't you think it's a bit nerdy?"  Asked Patrick.
"So?"  Replied Cassia.
"As long as it doesn't bother you, that's cool.  I think you look good."  Patrick said, once again redirecting his gaze to her bare thighs.
Cassia hesitated a moment.  She looked over herself and opened her mouth to speak.  Closing it again she groaned and turned back to the closet, letting the door shut behind her.  When she reappeared, she was sporting a pink jacket, black capris, a black shirt and the same red scarf.
"Classic.  That's something everyone can recognize."  Reede approved.
"What'd ya mean?"  Patrick asked with a perplexed look upon his face.
"She's a pink lay.  With her hair, probably Frenchy."  Explained Reede.  Patrick looked at Cassia, then back to Reede, and quickly back to Cassia.
"Well I like the other outfit better."  Stated Patrick.
"What's it from Patrick?"  Prodded Reede.
"Pokémon."  Answered Patrick.
"No.  This outfit."  Cassia chimed in.  Patrick looked her up and down as he pondered.
"Digimon?"  Responded Patrick.
"You're kidding right?"  Cassia looked at Reede in disbelief, who in turn gave the same expression.
"You've never seen Grease?"
"Don't look at me like that man.  I don't have time to see every movie there is."
"No, of course not.  But the classics you should.  You make time for those crap 'horror' movies that aren't scary, then you can make time for classics."  Reede argued.
"Okay, we'll just have to make a movie night okay."  Cassia intervened.
"Hey Cass.  I'm going to get a few more provisions for the party.  I'll be right back."  Jessica said, sticking her head in the door.
"We had plenty didn't we?"  Cassia asked.
"Yeah.  So I thought.  Until we let dad lose in the kitchen unsupervised."  Laughed Jessica.
"You're kidding."
Jessica shook her head.  "Wish I was.  Oh, you have a hug stain on the back of the jacket Cass."
"Crap."  Jessica gently closed the door as she left to run her errands.  "Now what am I going to be?"  Cassia looked at the two boys.  "What are you guys going to be anyway?"
"We're X-men of course."  Patrick said.
"When are you going to change?"  Asked Cassia.
"We are."
"You don't look like it."  Cassia looked the boys up and down.
"I'm Wolverine.  I got the leather jacket and I was going to just snag some knives from the kitchen when I want my claws to come out."  Patrick confessed.
"And I'm Professor Xavier."  Reede pulled out a cap and put it over his head.  "See."
" That's a swimming cap."  Cassia observed.
"I didn't fell like shaving my head."
"Oh!  I can be mystique!  I have the costume and makeup!  I made it myself!"  Cassia rushed into the closet and after a long moment, she returned in a detailed blue cat suit.   Patrick's eyes widened.  He stared a moment, then coming to his senses` he shoved Cassia back in the closet and shut the door.  "Hey!"
"You're not going around in that."  Declared Patrick, holding the door shut.  "I won't let you out until you change."  After a while of incoherent grumbling on the other side of the door, there was a knock and Patrick opened the door a crack.  Peering in to make sure she was decent, Patrick opened the door completely.  Cassia walked out in a sleeveless white gown, with wings draped around her arms and feathers lining the bottom of the gown.  As Patrick stared, Cassia continued over to her vanity and tied up her hair, placing a tiara upon her head.  "You look beautiful."  Patrick managed to find enough words to express his thoughts.
"Thank you."  Cassia said without looking away from her hair, but as she tried to remain cool, her cheeks burned with satisfaction.
Coming out of a trance, Patrick excused himself, expecting his current company to follow shortly as Jessica arrived, back from the store.
"So you got him to think of sex and marriage all in ten minutes, slick." Reede smirked at Cassia as he rolled himself out the door to follow Patrick.  Cassia watched him go, as he faced flushed.  Finishing up her hair, she followed the group out into the living room.
