Everypony Will See!

"Andrew, you promised!" He stared up at his mom, unwilling to back down.

"I promised to take her trick or treating, not... not this!"

"Well, I'm sorry she misunderstood, but a promise is a promise."

"Mom!"

"Andrew!" She replied back in exactly the same tone. "Look, she picked out the costume for you herself."

"But... a pony?"

"She says you told her Rainbow Dash is your favorite."

"Only because she kept asking and, well, Rainbow Dash is the most... boyish." His mom smirked.

"Well, what's the problem then, Andrew? Lexi's got a bunch of pink. Do you want that?"

"No, but"

"Look, it's only for a few hours. I shouldn't have to beg you to do something nice for your sister."

"But there's a skirt! And a wig! And wings! And what's with those shoes?"

"Keep complaining and you're wearing it to school beforehand." Andrew sighed. "I did what I could, but the costumes have to at least look like they go together. Otherwise people might think you decided to dress like that on your own." Andrew fumed. "And with the wig, I promise no one will even know it's you."She smirked. "Besides, aren't your friends too cool to trick or treat anymore?"

"I guess." He mumbled.

"Good. Now go get dressed."

"What? Why?"

"One, to make sure everything fits. And two, because I want photos of you two in daylight."

The Hockey Bros: Emergency Practice

-
“Alright, kiddo. Clean up your toys. It's bedtime.” Austin looked up from the floor. “But Daddy and Jaxon aren't home.” “Remember? Daddy’s got hockey and Jaxon made the team. We had cake.” “Yeah, but” “So they get home late.” She checked her watch. “Maybe if we get your jammies on quick, we can call them. Clean up your toys and upstairs for pajamas.” Austin obeyed and soon, they were upstairs in the room the boys shared. Austin undressed as Mom grabbed pajamas from the dresser. She paused as she saw her son's underwear. “Austin? Are those the underpants I set out for you today?” She saw the still folded pair on his pillow, but wanted to give him a chance to fess up. “No.” He said guiltily. “But I didn't want to wear those!” The pair he wore, the same pair he had worn yesterday, were gray with black stripes. Mom had set out a pair of Jaxon's old undies and they were Toy Story! A clear downgrade. “It's not a matter of want to, Austin. You need to change your unde

The New Kid

 "Hey!" Calvin froze. He had been walking around the playground aimlessly, hoping to find someone to introduce himself to. He had moved so many times, but being the new kid was never easy. His parents had told him this school having uniforms would make it easier since everyone wore the same thing, but he still felt like everyone thought he was a dork in his identical navy blue polo and khakis and gave him a wide berth. "Hey, new kid!" "Hi." He turned and looked at the trio approaching him. He knew bullies when he saw them. "Come here." The obvious leader said. He walked over. Bullies were nothing new to him and doing what they said usually kept them from going too far. "What are you? Some kind of genius baby?" "No." Calvin was shorter than them, but not by that much. If 'genius baby' was the best they could come up with, maybe these bullies would not be that bad. "You look like one." The lead bully said. &quo

Sissy in the Snow

"Hey, bud," Lacey said. "Since it's just you and me all weekend, I was wondering if you want to go to the movies. We can go see that new Slugman movie you were begging mom and dad to go to." Benny looked up from his video game and smiled at his older sister. "Sure!" He jumped off the couch, but then stopped. "Oh, but I can't." "Huh? Why not?" He gulped and pointed toward the front yard. "Because Connor and his goons are outside. They said they'll pelt me with snowballs if I show my face." Lacey went to the window and peeked outside. Sure enough, they were out there, even if they were doing their best to make it look like they were just hanging out. "I see." She said. "And you think they'd do it even if you were with me?" "I'd never live it down if they saw me hiding behind my big sister." Benny said. Lacey nodded. That made sense, she supposed. "Well, the only answer, I g

Tommy the Monster

“How about this?” Janet asked, pulling out a fuzzy white rabbit costume. “I know you like Bunnydale!” “No way!” Tommy said. How had this happened? Eric and Jake had left him in Janet’s care and no matter how many costumes she held up, he knew he would never find a Halloween costume in the Three and Under aisle. Janet gave his hand a squeeze. “I know you were a cutie pumpkin last year, but maybe you could do it again this year!” “No way.” Tommy snarled. “Oh, right. You're a big boy now. Your brother told me you're almost totally potty trained!” Janet beamed as if that was a great accomplishment for a boy in ninth grade. “Are you still dry?” “Yes!” Tommy jumped away from her before she tried to check, trying to redirect both the conversation and the costume search. “I think there's more costumes over here.” He turned the corner, desperate to change the conversation. “Oh!” He nearly walked into a wall of pink frills and sparkles. “Those are girl costumes, silly.” Janet
