Halloween party is huge for university students. People will dress in exaggerating costume with bloody make-up. You will see Yoda, Naruto or a big potato at the party. At the end of the party, there will be a best costume award announced by the host. The winner can choose anyone present for a dance, and the invitee can not reject it.
　　Eric is dressing as Thanos, she even wore a Thanos head mask, so no one can see her face.
　　Ellie commented, "it's not bad, but I don't think boys like it. See every other girl is dressing in either a cute or sexy way, because Justin is here tonight."
　　A sexy cat lady passed through them, while talking. It seems she is completely naked, the clothes was merely painted on. With the a furry tails coming out from the back, it looks extremely lewd. 

           'What does this illusion means?' Erica thought.

            " See，sexy and cute or almost naked." Ellie said.

            " So you can see her almost naked?" Erica asked.
            " Not only me, every guy around here can see it." Ellie said.
　　 Erica look around, she did see a lot of guys looking at the cat lady fiercely. So this is not a illusion.  Erica looked around in the room, there are lots of girls dressed in a wired and sexy way. Such as a bloody nurse, sailor moon with a axe on the arm. Guys are dressed as Zombie with intestine outside of the belly or a serial killer, etc.
　　" All girls are fighting to get the best costume award, then they can ask to dance with Justin." Ellie commented.
　　Erica walked around with Ellie before the party started. There are several came up to invite Ellie for dances. Ellie dressed as Zombie bride with low cut dress, the corset emphasised her breasts.

          No one ever invited Erica for a dance though. Even when they see Erica by accident, they will awkwardly moved their sight immediately, as if they are worried Erica will invite them a dance out of nowhere.

          Ellie worried that Erica will get uncomfortable, so she held Erica hand tighter, and politely refused those guys. Actually Erica doesn't care that no one want to invite her for a dance, but the consideration and kindness from Ellie made her shy, then she forgot to let go of Ellie's hand. 
　　Ellie would not stop talking, Erica listens to it indifferently. When they are close to the stage, Ellie stopped talking. She tugged Erica's sleeve once, and pointed at the front. "That's Luis, the student president. He is working with Justin for the game project."

　　Erica looked over, she saw a guy standing in the middle of a group.  He is wearing a semi-transparent sticky skin, and talked in rickets posture. It looks like a snail with no shell. 
　　And the girl standing next to him is even weirder. There are countless black bugs cling to her legs. 
　　Erica is wondering how the sticky bugs are made of. " I would give the award to the girl beside the president."

          Ellie shrugged, " not bad."
　　Someone padded on Ellie's shoulder. Erica and Ellie turned around. They saw a couple standing in front.

           " Ellie right? You studied at Constance high school, right?"

　　The girl shakes the guy's hand, then asked innocently," I heard you were from Constance high school, my boyfriend is the same. Do you know each other?"
　　The guy is tall and thin, with a fin and pale face, it seems he is cosplaying vampire. He said slowly, " Not really."
　　Erica noticed once they saw the guy Ellies body tend tight. When the guy said not really, the baby in her belly changed. It is screaming and trying really hard to climbing out of the belly, but it was stopped by the intestines. It opened the mouse, hysterically hissing to the guy, there are lots of blood spilled on his clothes. The guy seems unaware of anything. The baby is going crazy, but Ellie just stand there without saying anything.
　　
　　The girl was about to say something, but Erica didn't let her. Erica grabbed the other hand of Ellie said, "Let's go to the bathroom together." She dragged Ellie away without looking at the couple. Ellie almost stumbled, but Erica hold her tighter. They went to a quite corner.  Ellie suddenly seems to put herself together, she said thank you. Then they just standing beside the table without saying anything.
　　

　　Two girls running passed them, one accidentally spilled the drink on Ellie to end this silent session. Before Ellie left for the bathroom, she promised to introduce Justin to Erica later. Erica nodded indifferently.

           Erica heard some noise, it seems Justin just showed up. Girls moved over like waves, completely submerged him.  Girls greeted him and invited him for dance, it seems he is looking for someone, he rejected them all politely.
　　
　　But this has nothing to do with Erica. He found a chair and sat down beside the table, starting eating again. After half hour, Ellies is still absent. Erica called, no one answered. She got a message, ' sorry, I am trying to put myself together.'
　　The host announced that the winner of the best costume belongs to not any girl, but Justin.  Erica is far from the stage, she can't see anything, but hear a lot of screaming and booing. People are urging Justin to find his dance partner.
　　Erica is curious how is the best costume looks like, better than the sexy cat lady? But Justin is really far away, and he is always surrounded by people.
　　Erica decided to focus on eating, she took the Thanos head off, and took another bite of pizza sighed. She heard another sigh from a boy next to her. Erica looked over, and see a guy in lab coat. The guys was standing there for a while, he watched Erica finished a whole pizza, a bag of chips and two cokes.  

           "Don't eat too much junk food, you will feel bloated before bed." He said.

            Erica turned around, " Are you studying medical or are you dressed as a doctor?"
　　  The guy answered, " I am a medical student." Then he looked at Erica and continued, " you should not wear that head mask, you will look much better with some make-up. I am sure some guy here will be happy to invite you for a dance then."
　　Erica doesn't seems to care,  she touched the Thanos head, then said, " you are standing here really long, what are you doing?"
　　The guy said" I was late for the party because of some lab thing, my girlfriend asked me to do some self-questioning."
         Before Erica replied, a girl dressed in pink leopard dress came up. The white-coat guy saw her, widened the distance between Erica and him.
　　The leopard girl charged in front of them, pointing at the guys face," you should be thanking god to have me as your girl friend, how dare you try to pick up other girls!"

　　The white-coat guy said," honey, I don't even know her, she started to talk to me."

           Leopard girl turned to Erica, looking at her angrily. Erica guessed. Because she can't see the girl's eyes. Instead there two bloody holes.  It must be an illusion then.

           Leopard girl shouted, " why don't you look at yourself in the mirror, see how ugly you are! You dare to seduce my boyfriend!"

　　Erica replied," who you think he is, I don't even like him at first sight. I don't understand why you treasured him that much, maybe you are blind."
　　They fight attracted lots of people, two more girl joined the fight. It seems they are the leopard girl's friends.

           " She want to pick up guys in that costume?"

           " She might feel she is really special?"

            " Special ugly?"
            " No guys will like that."

             " Omg, did she finish the whole pizza?"

             " I bet no guy will invite her for dance tonight, how pitiful!"
They are being extremely loud intentionally. So people around can hear them clearly. Erica is not used to these kind of unlogic quarrels. She looked at the guy in white coat. He turned his face away. People looking at Erica with schadenfreude.

              " Found you, Erica, Can I have a dance with you?"

          The crowed became quite all of sudden, people moved towards two sides, giving way to the one who is speaking. A tall guy standing in front of Erica suddenly, he introduced himself with smile," I am Justin.  Can I have a dance with you?"
　　Erica finally saw Justin, the she retreated unconsciously. She slipped on a banana peel, fell over even lost her left shoe. 

          Justin was shocked by her reaction. He comes forward, trying to help her up.

          Erica waved off his hand, struggling to stand up by herself. She looked around, and asked, " So this is the best costume? What the.....? How can..." Her voice cracked at the end.

　    Because this guy in front, he wears nothing, from top to bottom, completely nothing. He is absolutely naked standing in the middle of everyone.
