Arabian Nights

As you would expect the couples section is organized so that matching costumes are placed together. You are so psyched that Rachel seems to want to go as your date to the party that you are willing to let her choose the costumes, you pretty much no longer care what you wear. As it is, Rachel's first choice is quite fine with you, given what she'll be wearing.

The costumes are in the style of 'Arabian Nights'. For you there is a waist-coat, some puffy pants, a hat that looks like a turban and a large plastic scimitar. She, however, has chosen to wear a harem girl outfit made of mostly diaphanous veils which will leave almost nothing to the imagination. That she has chosen to try on this outfit, even if she only does so for your benefit before choosing something else for the party, is a sign as subtle as a sledge hammer that she is interested in you.

"Here," she says giving you your outfit, "let's try them on and see how we look in them. I think there's a mirror down near the change-rooms. And no wearing anything under that shirt, I want to see your abs." Your smile broadens as you walk to the change room, all those crunches are going to pay off big-time.

You quickly put on your costume, not wanting to miss a moment of seeing Rachel in hers and exit the change room. As you do the plastic sword at your waist suddenly seems heavier and your turban seems tighter, as if they had both suddenly become real. You also find yourself alone in a huge cave whose only light is coming from an oil lamp, which isn't so much lit as glowing by itself, and is sitting on a pile of gold coins.

Just as you are trying to process all this, you hear a voice booming through the cavern, shouting, "OPEN SESAME", and torches around the cave suddenly light themselves showing the unbelievable extent of the treasure within.
