Back at Olivia's

Namrata and Jade been drinking for a while by the time Olivia and Holly caught up with them. Being the sensible one, she'd been left to 'babysit' Holly's 18-year old sister.

"Nam, you're drunk?"

Namrata giggled and shook her head. Unfortunately for her, Jade, who turned out to be much more of a party-animal than the rest of them, had capitalized on the opportunity to pressure Namrata into trying to keep up with her drinking.

"Ok, whatever, as long as you make it to the party I don't care." Olivia said. "It's our last Halloween at college so let's make it count. I got us our outfits, are you ready to see them?"

The others groaned and watched the show.

"First one's first: mine. You guys call me a bimbo so I figured I'll give you what you want." She waved a bag with a pink dress on it.

Holly nodded, 'fair'.

"And Nam, I was browsing and there was one obvious choice for you." She threw a blue sheer dress with gold accents at her.

"Olivia! This is basically racist!"

"I think it's cute," Jade interjected. Namrata shot her friend's little sister a glare.

"Oh come on, you'll look good. And you're the one that didn't want to come shopping."

Namrata held it in front of her and glared at the abominable Jasmine/genie/**** girl costume as it flowed from her hands. 'At least it covered her arms,' she thought.

"And for you, Holly, I know you need to capture Darren's eyes tonight. It's why we're going after all. I got you something very special."

Holly looked skeptical as she caught the suspiciously small shimmery black outfit. "It's a swimsuit?"

"No! Well, kinda. It's a cute bunny outfit!" Olivia beamed. "Look at the bushy tail!"

"I stand corrected; it's a black swimsuit with a bow tie and a bit of white fluff over the ass."

"If you want to be reductive..."

"My legs would be completely bare..." Holly protested. "It's slutty. I don't like it."

"You have great legs. And I have your best interest at heart - this is going to capture Darren's attention for sure." Olivia didn't wait for Holly's reaction. She knew she had **** - she really was infatuated with Darren.

"I think you'd look good in it..." Jade spoke.

Before Holly could chastise her sister, Olivia threw something gold at Jade.

"And finally, for you--"

Holly snatched the dress out of Jade's hands. "Nooo way, you're not dressing my sister up like a slut, Liv!"

"Let me finish, Holly!" Olivia took the dress back from Holly and held it out. "For you, I got you a lovely gold dress."

Olivia stuck her tongue out at a surprised Holly.

Holly didn't mind it - it was gold, figure hugging but it was nowhere near as bad as she thought. "Okay, that's not so bad."

"It is boring!" Jade was disappointed. "Y'all are going to look so sexy and I have to follow you around to your lame party."

"I do have a backup plan, if you want it," Olivia reached into her bag and started to pull a tartan bikini out.

Before she could, Holly took the bag away from her. "Olivia, We're not wearing these."

Olivia showed a glimmer of hurt. "First, you agreeeed. You two owe me this! And secondly, it's a costume party, and you have no other options. Either you wear these or you stay at home. And one of those options loses you your chance with Darren."
