Gus: "By the way, you don't need to make cute costumes based on our palismen's names."

Luz: "I know, but I it's worth it!"

Gus: crosses his arms with an arched eyebrow

It was three days before Halloween, and Luz and Gus were in the human world at the former’s mother’s house. After things had calmed down in the demon world and the new Portal Door was created, Luz introduced Halloween, one of the most popular holidays ever (next to Christmas), to the Boiling Isles and everyone one in them. It took some time for the Isle dwellers to fully comprehend with the concept of Halloween, but they eventually got around to understanding. It certainly helped that the Isles were already quite Halloween-y in the first place.

In fact, this year, UWM (University of Wild Magic) was having a big Halloween costume party on the evening of October 31st. There were even some serious trick or treating going on in Bonesborough. Obviously Luz and the rest of the Hexsquad were going to attend it. They were even bringing Vee, Masha, and Masha’s pikachu palisman, Volt, along. Luz had big plans for this years Halloween. It’s why she and Gus were at her mother’s house with Stringbean and the rest of the Hexsquad’s Palisman.

It’s also why 4 of the 5 Palisman were in costumes based off their names, Luz’s idea for the costume theme of course. Stringbean was a bean, Ghost was a ghost with the white sheet and all, Clover was a four leaf clover, and Waffles was… well you get the idea.

There was also one problem with the idea: Gus’ Palisman’s name was Emmiline Bailey Marcostimo.

Luz: sighs “alright, well what would you suggest?”

Gus: "Well... she is a chameleon, so maybe I can use illusion magic to change her color."

Luz: "I guess, but which color and what's the costume?"

Gus: "I have no clue, I need to check it up."

Suddenly, Luz’s hearing picked up on some high pitched grunts and strains. She looks back at the table and from its right edge, a minuscule small hand pokes out from below and grabs on to the table followed by another. Pulling herself up was another palisman but not just any palisman.

It was Chibi Palisman Luz! As part of the Chibi Palisman Hexsquad set plus Vee and Masha versions that Hunter made months ago. To think it started out as just a bit of advice from his fiancée, Willow Park, that led to the creation of her Chibi Palisman copy. Then Luz, Amity, and Gus found out, Hunter made Chibi Palisman of them, himself, and of Vee and Masha.

Chibi Luz was currently looking at the other palismen to check on their costumes. And just like that, a light spell went off in Luz’s head.

Luz: "I have an idea!"

Gus: “Huh?”

He looks at Palisman Luz, the Chibi version of one of his best friend staring at Stringbean, Ghost, Clover, and Waffle, gleamy eyed and cooing in fascination. He couldn’t figure out what Luz was thinking.

Gus: “what?”

Luz: “Just get Hunter and the others and each of your Chibi palisman. You’ll see.” looks at him with a slightly mischievous kittenish smile on her face

Gus: confused “Uhhh… okay?” thinking: “Suddenly, I feel confused… and a little nervous.”

It was the day of Halloween and the costume party at UWM in the Boiling Isles. The whole Hexside gang, including Vee and Masha, with their palismen and the Chibi versions of each other are in the living room of Luz’s mother’s house in the human realm. They wonder if this is related to the costume party.

Ghost was on Amity’s head, Clover was buzzing next to Willow, Emmiline was on Gus’ right shoulder, Waffles was nesting in Hunter’s hair, Vee was squeezing Kirbilin like a teddy bear, and Volt was perched on Masha’s right shoulder. Their Chibi palismen were standing on their respective larger counterparts free shoulder. Except for Chibi Willow, she was on Clover’s back.

Amity: "So... Luz, what's the plan?"

Chibi Amity: "Coo?"

Luz: cat smirk with her hands behind her back "So, as you know, I was planing out for our costume party to be based on our palismen's names, but unfortunately, I can't come us with anything for Emmiline."

Gus: "Yeah... She was stumped with that."

Luz: "That is until she came to check out the costumes."

The human witch reveals her right and Chibi Luz standing in the palm of it, mirroring the smirk of her larger counterpart. She spots Chibi Amity on her larger counterpart’s shoulder. Blushing bashfully, she smiles and energetically waves at her.

Chibi Luz: "Coo!"

Chibi Amity: blushing green with a smile "Coo..." waves back

Luz was distracted by this display and fawns a bit with gleamy eyes, but manages to shift her focus back on topic, putting her Chibi copy on the table.

Luz: "So inspired by this, I present to you..."

Lus reveals a set of palismen costumes the resemble both the palismen themselves and their owners. The palismen ones can fit the original palismen to look like their owners each and the mini palismen costumes can be fitted by the Chibi counterparts. Stringbean is already wearing her own, it resembles her owner Luz.

Luz: "Palismen - Owner costumes!"

The others looked at each other and then at Luz in surprise… except Amity, she was looking at her with an impressed and interested look on her face.

Amity: “That’s a great idea!”

Gus: surprised “that is… actually not a bad idea.”

The others spoke up, collectively agreeing.

Luz: surprised “Reallh?! Wait. Why did you sound so surprised? Wait! Why did I sound so surprised?!” shakes her head and refocuses “Oh, never mind! Any questions?”

Willow and her Chibi Counterpart raise their hands, the latter standing on top of the former’s head.

Luz: “yes, Willow?”

Willow: “have you always had tiny costumes based off us or…?”

Chibi Willow: curious head tilt “Coo?”

Luz: nervous "No, I made these before you guys came here..."

Vee: "No, you made some of them months ago."

Luz: blushing "Vee!"

Vee: “what?! You did!”

Everyone is chuckling to this. Hunter stops and wonders something.

Hunter: to Gus "When did Luz come up with this plan."

Gus: "Three days ago."

Hunter: "Ok…" to Luz "So if what Vee said is right, you already made the palismen costumes, but you needed time for this presentation. So why..."

Hunter realizes something, the same with his Chibi. They both facepalm to the thought.

Hunter: "Don't tell me, you-"

Luz: energetic enthusiasm "Also made costumes for all of us? YOU BET!”

Luz reaches out to thin air from both sides one hand each and peels off a glyph from both to reveal a rolling garment rack with costumes for the gang based on their palismen hanging on it. Hunter and his Chibi copy groan and pinch the bridge of their noses to stave off a growing headache. Luz must have had a vial of Titan’s blood on her person.

Amity: smiles "As extravagant as usual, Batata."

Luz: “Thanks, Hermosa! I even made tiny Palisman clothes for our Chibi selves!”

She reaches down to the table and peels off two more invisibility glyphs to reveal tiny rolling garment racks with the tiny Palisman outfits. Chibi Luz gestured to them and cooing in a “ta-da” like fashion. They were all impressed. Hunter was annoyed but also impressed.

Masha: “wow… you sure go over-the-top.”

Luz: “hey, go big or go home… and I’m already home.”

Amity: “Yeah and what’s wrong with putting in more effort than required? I mean, I always use an Orbital strike pod to bake a pie. It makes the success mean more to you, you know?”

The others looked at her and Luz incredulously and stunned.

Luz: “I know how that sounds, but the pie was actually really good.”

Masha: pauses for longer, blinking twice before gasping to speak and then turning to Amity “Amity, are you really up for dressing up like a cat?”

Ghost: REOW hiss!

Masha: to Ghost “uh, no offense.”

Amity: “Well I already wore a cat onesie once to help Luz with a favor 4 years ago and for Halloween one year later. So, this is really isn’t all that different for me.”

Luz: “Plus she really loves cats.”

Amity: nods with a kittenish smirk “Guilty as charged.”

Luz: “and she already acts like one.”

Amity: blushes a bit in embarrassment before sighing with small smile “also true.”

Luz: pulls Amity aside and whispers in her ear, cupping her hand to the right side of her mouth “by the way, I managed to let it out a little along the lower half for you, Hermosa. In case you had another…” flirty kitten smirk “‘growth spurt’ recently.” 😏😘

Amity: blushes a bit more but smiles bashfully before whispering “Well I didn’t… I think. But still thanks, batata.”

A little bit later, Amity and her Chibi counterpart return to the group in their Ghost the cat Palisman costumes. They bashfully smiled and blushed, both embracing her inner cat as she began grooming themselves like one with their paws, albeit bashfully.

Her cat instincts at the helm, Amity makes her hands look like cat paws while Chibi copy mimics it.

Amity: “Meow.”

Chibi Amity: “Mew.”

The others noticed Luz and her Chibi copy were blushing and vibrating with great intensity, their eyes gleamy. They all plugged their ears for the coming explosion.

Luz and Chibi Luz: MEGA SQUEE!!!!

After that outburst the two calmed down while the others were shaking it off and nursing their sore ears from the loud squee front the cuteness. Luz cleared her throat and was about to walk over to Willow when she spotted Ghost, who was now dressed like her with a the lavender wig, small crown jewel hair tie, and her work clothes nuzzling her owner’s leg and purring. Luz squeals again in her mouth at the cuteness but clears her throat again and turns her attention to Willow and her Chibi self.

Luz: “Willow. I managed to make two kinds of Clover costumes for you? Which would you prefer, bulky or slim?”

Willow: “What’s the bulky one?”

Luz: “basically a large bee abdomen covering most of your body save for your head, arms, and legs with an antenna hairband.” hefts it up the large costume for Willow to see

Willow: “Looks a little hard to move in. What about the slim one?”

Luz: puts the first one down “well…”

Luz showed Willow the second one as she explained it.

Luz: “it comes with the same antenna hairband but with a smaller bee abdomen centered at the small of your back, and a rather… form fitting yellow and black jumpsuit and frilly skirt that shows off your legs.”

Willow: “form-fitting huh…? Hmm..."

Willow looks at Hunter for his response. She notices that he is blushing a bit. It's similar to the time she collected Palistrom Wood. He was imagining something and Willow could hazard a guess as to what.

Willow: playful mischievous tone and smirk "I think I'll choose the slim."

Hunter's blush becomes brighter. Luz knows why Willow choose that costume. She can't help but smirk a little herself. She started communicating with the playful powerhouse nonverbally like how the two and Amity do together sometimes.

Luz: “You wanna tease Hunter till he goes scarlett don’t you?”

Willow: drawn out “maybe.” normal “what can I say? He reacts so well, I can’t help myself.”

Luz: “hey far be it from me to judge.”

Amity: also nonverbally, joining in “or me. You should see Luz’s face when I model some outfits of mine for her that…” playfully teasing flirt as she eyed Luz “highlight my most prominent physical feature.”

Luz: embarrassed and bashful blush, a smile matching the latter and a sheepish giggle following

The others were just waiting for Luz to speak up again as they had no idea what they were doing… well except Vee.

Masha: whispering to Vee “What are they doing?”

Vee: whispers back “nonverbal communication. I’m not sure what they are saying, but i guess it’s about Willow’s costume choice.”

Masha notices Hunter blushing

Masha: whispering to Vee “I can guess why.”

With the boys

Hunter: To Gus “What are they doing.”

Gus: “Probably communicating in some way. It’s probably nothing.”

Eventually Gus cleared his throat, getting the girls’ attention.

Gus: “Luz? Would you… like to continue?”

Luz: “huh? Oh- Oh! Right right right!” to Willow “Anyways, I also made two for your Chibi self as well. Personally, I’d pick the bulky one since I think it would make her look adorable… well more adorable. I made the bee abdomen of it smaller to make it easier to move in. But still it’s for her to decide.”

Willow looks to the display of Chibi sized Palisman based clothes and then to her Chibi self, who looked like she was thinking. Willow smiled, brought her hand up to her head so her tiny self could hop on. As soon as she did she cup her hands together and brought her tiny self to the table where the outfits were.

Chibi Willow hopped off and onto the table and stood in front of her options: Clover Bulky and Clover Slim. Adorability and sexiness. The kind of decision one would consult their conscience about. She looked back at Chibi Hunter, who was blushing and looking away bashfully. Chibi Willow smiled and blushed herself and thought it over.

Chibi Willow: contemplating “hmmm… Coo coo cooooo…?”

Suddenly, the angel version of her conscience appears over her right shoulder with a poof, with halo, white dress, the harp, white wings, ecetera.

Angel Chibi Willow: “coo coo coo.” points to the bulky one with an innocent chartreuse blush on her face

Well… cuteness is supreme.

Her thoughts are interrupted by another poof, the Devil version of Chibi Willow’s conscience appearing on her left shoulder. She actually looked like Willow in her Halloween costume she wore when she was 14 and stranded in the human realm. She even had the pitchfork too.

Devil Chibi Willow: shakes her head no “huh uh. Coo coo!” points to slim one with her pitchfork and then to Chibi Hunter still on his large counterparts shoulder

She turns back to look at him. She thinks her Devil self was trying to say that he’d get all flustered and blushing like a four leaf clover seeing her in the slim one. It was a tough decision. Embrace her cuteness or embrace her playfulness. In the end, she decided to use every mental tool she had at her disposal to figure this out. Staring and pointing at the bulky one…

Chibi Willow: “Coo Coo Coo.” (“eenie miney mo.”)

Bulky and cuteness it is!

As she takes the bulky one, Devil Chibi Willow crossed her arms and pouted cutely while Angel Chibi Willow smiled with her eyes closed and started gently clapping her hands. She sees devil and rests a hand on her shoulder. Devil only hmphs, but Angel maintains her smile. Devil sighs and drops the pout. She coos in acceptance before they both wave to Chibi Willow and poof away. Chibi Willow hops on Willow’s hand and they both proceeded to another room to get changed as Luz helped Clover get her costume on.

A little while later, Clover was dressed in a dark navy blue wig, miniature fake glasses, and a tank top similar to Willow’s flyer derby one. When Willow and Chibi Willow Hunter almost got a nosebleed at what he saw he was blushing red so much. Chibi Hunter even felt a drop of the green glowing sap within him somehow drip out of his nose as he blushed emerald. Willow stood there before him and the others, the jumpsuit clinging to her curves and muscles and the skirt indeed showing off her legs.

Willow decided to wear it because she knew Hunter would like it and because she liked how it got him all flustered. But after she slipped it on and got outside to the others, even she couldn’t help but feel a little self-conscious at how... tight it felt and exposed *she* felt. Granted it wasn’t by much, but she’s never worn anything like this before. She looked at Hunter, who was blushing madly with his gleamy eyes staring at her.

Hunter: infatuated “whoa…”

Willow bashfully smiles as a bouquet of flowers sprouted. She looked away and at her Chibi self, who was comfortable in her bulky bee outfit. She sees Chibi Hunter looking at her with a similar expression as his larger counterpart.

Chibi Hunter: infatuated “Coo….”

Chibi Willow coos as if she is giggling and waves at him with a wink, blushing a little bright green herself but feeling more confident. Willow started to think maybe she should’ve went with cute too. But at least seeing her tiny counterparts cuteness eased her self-conscious feeling.

Willow: “Aww… You look adorable my Chibi!”

Chibi Willow: “Coo Coo Buzz Buzz!”

Luz: squee! “I knew she would look adorable!” Surge of pride “Am I right or am I right?”

As the girls and Masha were fawning over Chibi Willow’s cuteness, Hunter and Chibi self’s eyes were still gleaming, the former now at the ‘happy little tree’s’ cuteness along with the latter. Now she was a ‘happy little bee.’ Willow and Chibi Willow caught them both staring and they winked at them at the same time, smirking. Though the normal sized one was more bashful about it. The Hunter pair’s blush grew and the original one whispered to his tiny self.

Hunter: whispers “our fiancées’ teasing is gonna be the death of us someday, is it?”

Chibi Hunter: shrugs “Coo coo…” eventually slumps nods “coo…”

Hunter: whispers “yeah, that’s what I was thinking.”

They both eye Chibi Willow again, who threw up a peace sign and blushed pink with a wink as as the girls started taking pictures while she was resting on one of the flowers currently sprouting out of Willow’s head. Hunter smiled.

Hunter: “They’re both cute though, so it might be worth it. Death from cuteness-overload would be a good way to go.”

Chibi Hunter: smiling and nodding “coo.”

A few more snappies later, Luz stopped and looked to Gus and Chibi Gus, the next ones up.

Luz: "Ok Gus. You, Chibi you, and Emmiline are all up!"

Gus: "Right. lets see what we got here."

Chibi Gus: nods in agreement "Coo!"

Luz gets Emmiline dressed in her Gus Porter costume. Pretty soon, the chameleon palisman had on a miniature pair of Gus’ glasses, a wig to match his hair and an outfit similar to his own. They all fit her perfectly!

Gus: impressed "You really outdone yourself Luz."

Chibi Gus: "Coo coo!

Luz: "I know right!"

Chibi Luz: "Coo Coo Co!"

Luz: mock-serious tone “now Gus, would you like the chameleon onesie like you Chibi counterpart here or would like something a little more simple?”

Gus: “hmm… define simple.”

Luz: “it’s a chameleon mask with the tail.”

Gus: arched eyebrow

Luz: “I was running low on materials by the time I was making your second variant of costume.”

Gus: “y-y-you know? I think I’ll stick with the onesie.

Lus: tosses the mask behind her with pep, it hitting the floor with a clutter “fair enough!”

A little bit later, Gus returned in his Emmiline onesie. He smiled smugly, like he felt cool just wearing it.

Willow: “wow, not bad Gus.”

Luz: “yeah! lookin’ cool!”

Gus: “oh I feel cool, Luz.”

Chibi Gus: “coo cool!”

Gus: “the tails gonna make sitting. A little awkward.”

Luz: “don’t worry its detachable and re-attachable.”

Hunter knew he and his Chibi self were next so he slowly backed away while everyone was paying attention to Gus and Chibi Gus. He turns around and slowly tries to make for the front door until he felt a hand on his shoulder, Chibi Hunter being on the opposite one. He slowly turns his head to see Willow smiling sweetly and Chibi Willow in her Clover costume mirror her larger self’s expression. Hunter and Chibi Hunter grew afraid.

Willow: “You’re next, Goldy.”

Chibi Willow: nods “Coo coo.”

Hunter: moans nervously “oh boy. Yay.”

Chapter Text

Willow: “You’re next, Goldy.”

Chibi Willow: *nods* “Coo coo.”

Hunter: moans nervously “oh boy. Yay.”

Willow brought Hunter back in front of Luz, who already had a costume for him. It was very similar looking to something familiar.

Luz: “Sorry, hermano. I didn’t have a lot of material left when I got to yours, so this was all I could make.”

Hunter: Looks at the costume with a hint of nostalgia and little idea of fashion sense “hmmm…”

Luz: “I made it look a lot like that robin onesie you wore years ago. Only it’s a blue jay instead.”

Hunter: Smiles a little at the memory before taking it and the one for Chibi Hunter while Waffle flew over to her costume “Thanks. We’ll be back.”

A little bit later after Luz got waffle dressed with the ashen blonde wig and attire similar to the bluejay’s owner, said owner reluctantly emerged from the bathroom with a glare on his face in his Waffles costume, which looked a lot like that chicken costume he tried on when he first got the human world 4 years ago. Chibi Hunter had his Waffles costume on too and had the same expression.

This… felt a lot less silly than it did wearing the robin costume four years ago.

Luz was kitten smiling smugly, Gus and Chibi Gus gave an awkward grin and shaky thumbs up, all while Amity, Vee, and Masha were snickering, trying to hold back their laughter.

Luz: “Well… what do you think, hermano?”

Hunter: “I think I feel ridiculous.”

Chibi Hunter: crosses arms and nods

Amity: snickering “C’mon, Hunter. You wore a robin onesie four years ago.”

Hunter: “I wasn’t laughed at before.”

At least Willow and Chibi Willow’s reactions made this bearable for them both! They were both smiling big, blushing, and gleamy eyed, their fiancé’s looked so cute to them!

Willow and Chibi Willow: “SQUEE!”

Hunter: sighs and whispers to his Chibi “I guess we can endure this for both our Willows.”

Chibi Hunter: whispers back “Coo…”

Vee: “Us next, Luz!”

Chibi Vee: “Coo!”

Kirbilin: “Oooaai!”

Luz: “Alright, hermana. Step right this way!”

Luz moves to the costume hangers and sifts through them while Vee set Kirbilin down on the table. The Kirby palisman saw his Vee costume and did the only natural thing. He sucked up like a vacuum and swallowed it before in an 8-bit burst of stars, had a wig that looked like Vee’s human realm hair on his head. He also had a tail similar to her basilisk form’s even though he still had his feet.

Kirbilin: “Poyo! Hissssss…”

Vee: “Awww!” scoops her palisman up in a hug

Luz: “Ah-ha! Okay, I was gonna make two costumes… but I figured you and your tiny self would just love… these!”

Luz turned around to show Kirby onesies for both sis and Chibi. The head opening was the mouth and feet were red. Masha’s eyes gleamed as they imagined seeing their lucky 5 wearing that as they saw her take with a thanks to her sister and proceeded to get changed.

Masha: to Luz “I take back what I said earlier, Luz.” gives a thumbs up “Nice job going the extra mile.”

Luz: gives a thumbs up back but with more pep and a wink

Several minutes later, everyone was waiting for Vee and Chibi Vee to return, Luz and Masha waiting with the most anticipation. Vee was already cute! Cuteness was her M.O. and Kirbilin, who was currently being snuggled by a purring Anity, is cute too. That isn’t to say cuteness is all they’re known for. They’re stronger and Vee could defend herself now. But combining cuteness sources like this would-

Vee: offscreen “Here we come!”

The sound of hurrying footsteps can be heard. As soon as Vee stopped at the living room and with a leap…

Vee and Chibi Vee: “POYO!”

They did a Kirby pose with Chibi Vee on her larger counterparts shoulder. There was also a pink background behind with big yellow stars around her before the screen cuts Luz, Masha, and the others. The both of their of eyes were gleaming, but Luz’s were the brightest as she bit her lower lip to suppress a growing squeal as she vibrated with growing intensity while a red blush dusted her face.

Masha was more tame as they stared mouth slightly agape as they were seeing their fiancée with the crush filter surrounding her. But that blush of theirs certainly didn’t mean she wasn’t tame.

Luz: overjoy “EEEEEEE!!! ¡¡AY, QUE LINDO!!”

Luz immediately sped over to Vee so quickly, Chibi Luz fell off her shoulder. Luckily, the squeal snapped Masha out of it and caught the falling Chibi in time. And when Luz hoisted her baby sister and twirled her around in a hug, Chibi Vee was flung!

But Stringbean quickly flew up and shapeshifted into a catcher’s mitt, catching her in time. She lowered her down to near Masha’s hands, Chibi Luz waisted no time and running over and performing her larger counterpart’s actions.

Luz: while twirling Vee in her arms “SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE!! BEST COSTUME IDEA EVER!!”

Vee: laughing like mad uncontrollably

As soon as Luz set her down, Amity was next to squeeze her. And then Willow. Then Gus and Hunter gave Vee pokes on her face cheeks. Then Masha moved their chibi counterpart to Stringbean’s floating catcher mitt form before joining the other, their face still blank at the mind melting cuteness.

Vee: squirms her way out Amity and Willow’s grasp and looks at Masha flirty “So… do I look cute?”

Masha embraced their fiancée and gave her a passionate kiss before ending almost a dozen seconds later with a chu. Then the usually chill enby human began squishing Vee’s now blushing face by pushing their hands against face cheeks.

Masha: “That’s the understatement of the night…” chuckles

Chibi Masha was now doing the same to Chibi Vee their bigger counterpart was doing to their’s. Stringbean, still a catcher’s mitt, began moving them both and Chibi Luz next to Masha.

Masha: to Luz, still squishing Vee’s face “You’re finest work ever, Luz. Now what have you got for me?”

Luz: refocuses after shaking her rapidly while blubbering “I actually made two Pikachu costumes for both you and your Chibi. One is a traditional Pikachu set, and the other one is with a ‘dark’ side.”

Masha giggles a bit, now stretching Vee’s rubbery face cheeks. God it was always so relaxing.

Luz: “So, which do you prefer?”

Masha: with a contemplating squint of their eyes “Hmm…”

Chibi Masha: looks to Luz, matching the eye squint of their larger self and now also stretching Chibi Vee’s face “Coo…”

Masha: “well what’s the dark side one look like?”

Luz: “glad you asked!”

She pulled it out and… well it was basically a onesie similar to Luz’s otter costume but instead of an otter, it’s a Pikachu. Masha and their Chibi’s eyes gleamed at the sight of it.

Masha: “well… it certainly seems so much brighter on the dark side. Don’t even see how it is a dark side come to think of it. But what’s the traditional one look like?”

Luz: "Well... It has a large pikachu mask and it looks more like a Pikachu."

Luz shows a large Pikachu costume. Similar to the ones that are from Japan's Pikachu Parade. It looks very accurate.

Vee: voice muffled "Woah."

Masha: "Impressive Luz."

Volt: "Pika!"

Masha: “then again, it’ll probably get pretty hot with that thing on. And…” eyes the onesie with a smirk, reluctantly releasing their fiancée’s face and taking the onesie and the chibi sized one “cuteness is king and Titan. Maybe I’ll take a dip into the ‘dark side.’”

Chibi Masha: mirrors smirk “coo cool. Coo.”

They pick up the their tiny selves as Vee picked up Volt to nuzzle him. While her fiancé left to get changed, a thought occurred to cute yet tough basilisk as she looked to her older sister while opening her other arm up and letting Kirbilin over into it so she nuzzle both palismen.”

Vee: “Hey, Luz? Where’s your costume?” let’s Stringbean drop off Chibi Vee on top of her head

Luz: “Oh!” facepalms lightly “Almost forgot!” returns to the rack and looks through while Stringbean lowers Chibi Luz to the coffee table to sift through the tiny racks, the snakeshifter returning to normal after “Now if you’re all thinking I prepared a Stringbean onesie for me and my tiny self,” turns around with energy and a bright smile to reveal a Stringbean onesie “Then you’re absolutely RIGHT!”

Chibi Luz: turns around similarly to show her onesie “COO!”

Amity and Chibi Amity’s pupils were big dishes like a cat who just got catnip as the former tomato blushes pink and the latter tomato blushes chartreuse. The bulb tails on the backs of those onesies were so adorable!

After a little bit, Masha and their Chibi self return in their pikachu onesies. They even painted large red circles on their face cheeks to complete it. They only wondered if Luz left the face paint in there.

Masha: “pika…”

Chibi Masha: “coo!”

Masha: looks to their Chibi self and whispers “close enough.”

Everyone liked it, especially Vee and Chibi Vee. They were applauding rapidly and blushing at how cute their enbyfriends looked. Masha, deciding to pour on the charm now that they too were armed with cuteness and hug the basilisk they love and nuzzle her, making Vee nuzzle back. Their chibi selves climbed to the tops of their heads and hugged each other before also doing the nuzzles.

Luz was recording it with her aPhone while Amity snapped pictures with hers.

Luz: “Okay, Imma get dressed with tiny me!” over-the-top old English accent “I shall return!”

Chibi-Luz: “Coo coo!”

They bolt off as Amity and Chibi Amity waited with the most anticipation. Then after they decided to move the Chibi Palismen to the coffee table, they heard someone else coming down the stairs.

???: “Awww, Que lindo!”

Everyone looked to see Camila who was in an interesting costume. They looked like the Robes of Banishment, an outfit the Umbra Witch Rosa from Bayonetta, wore. But instead of it consisting of a black bodysuit with red and gold accents and various loose belts on the limbs, the bodysuit was white and there were various blue and silver accents.

And instead of a hood, she had a white witching cap on shaped like a regular witch's hat. But it looks like she added some Sci-Fi elements on it. It is painted with a white metallic paint that makes the illusion that it is made of metal and it has lights on the sides of them that shine a deep blue. There are also decals on the hat that make it look like that it is made of multiple pieces of robotic parts, similar to some technology that you might find in a Sci-Fi movie or series.

Speaking of Sci-Fi, they could see she was wearing some kind of white and black metallic gloves and matching quarter-inch heels. They looked more like they belonged on a sci-fi android. Gus and Vee, being the sci-fi nerds they are, were mouth agape and gleamy eyes. Hunter and Amity smiled with pride for some reason.

Willow: in admiration “Camila, you look beautiful!”

Masha: in respect “fantasy and sci-fi style as one.” finger guns at Camila “Respect, Ms. N.”

Camila: chuckles “Thank you, Masha. You all have great costumes too. ¡Tan adorable!” to Vee, giving her a hug as the heels gave her a little more height over her youngest daughter “Especialmente tú, cariño!”

Vee: embarrassed blush as Masha and the others watched the whole thing “Mama…”

Gus: eyes gleaming at the metal gloves “Camila, these gloves… are these actual metal? They looked so real!”

Camila: releases Vee and smirks a little “Well… I don’t like to brag, but…”

Camila rolls up the sleeve to reveal the gloves reached just below her elbows. There were various bulbs and lights you would see on a Sci-Fi android. Gus and Vee began to nerd out more as they examined the gloves.

Camila: “And in case you were wondering, the heels are knee-high boots.” looks to Hunter and Amity “Thanks again for the costume, you two.”

Amity: smiles “No problem, Camila.”

Hunter: nods in agreement

Gus and Vee were immediately in front of them both, startling the pair. Willow and Masha immediately put their glances on them too as Camila got on her knees in front of the coffee table to fawn and cuddle the adorable palismen in their costumes, normal and Chibi alike.

Gus: fanboy passion, eyes lit up “Amity!”

Vee: fangirl passion, eyes lit up “¡Hermano!”

Both: “Explain!”

Amity: nervous chuckle “a few days ago, when I was over here to fix something, Camila asked for my help with her costume for Halloween.”

Hunter: “She talked to me, we put our heads and talents together and… well there you go.” gestures to Camila, who was now snuggling Kirbilin

Willow hopped into Hunter’s arms bridal style and kissed him on the lips, making him smile goofily with a blush. Amity knew that was gonna be waiting for her when Luz finds out.

Luz: offscreen “Here we come!”

Speak of the human…

Everyone heard quickly approaching footsteps and they looked to see Luz with her arms extended out from her sides as she leaps into the room with her trademark cute energetic smile on her face. As was her Chibi doppelgänger, who was holding on tight.

They were both wearing Stringbean onesies, which had the bulb tails extended out from the smalls of their backs. They were somewhat short, not long enough to bump into anything if they turned around, but not short enough that bulbs alone are the tails. She also had on her favorite convertible backpack (see Chapter 1 of Girls’ Night Out).

When Luz landed, she twirled on one foot and did a cute anime pose that involved her flashing two peace signs while standing on one foot and winking with a kittenish smile. As soon as she was still, Chibi Luz mimicked the pose.

Luz: “…and here we are! Blep!” sticks her tongue out cutely

Chibi Luz: “Coo coo! Blep!” sticks her tongue out cutely

As everyone else applauded the silly lovable human’s costume and entrance, Camila noticed and puts Kirbilin with a warm and fawning smile. But before she could so much as step towards her daughter, Amity immediately bolted to her in a flash, lifted Luz in a hug, and twirled her around, inadvertently launching Chibi Luz off her aimed for the coffee table as the two giggled like mad.

Chibi Luz: squeaky and alarmed “COO!”

Chibi Amity moved around left and right, arms out until she stopped and caught Chibi Luz bridal style. She gave her a kiss on the forehead and making the Stringbean onesie clad Chibi palismen blush bright green while she tomato blushed chartreuse.

Chibi Luz: bashfully “Coo coo…”

Chibi Amity: giggles

Meanwhile with normal sized Lumity, Amity finally stopped twirling and proceeded to nuzzle her face cheek against Luz’s and purr with equal passion.

Amity: “Nyaa! So cute! So moe! So batata!”

Luz: laughing uncontrollably

Amity, reaching Luz snuggle quota for now, eventually released Luz after giving her a smooch on the lips. Then before Luz could turn to face her, her mom hugged her tightly too, the height difference between the two being less prominent since the boots Camila was wearing made her a bit taller.

Camila: “Eres tan lindo, mija!”

As soon as Luz was released from her mom’s hug clutches, she saw the sci-fi fantasy combo her mom had on. It made her eyes gleam and her heart warm inside. She felt understood…

Luz: with respect and admiration “Gracias, mamá. Te ves muy nerdy raro esta noche.”

Camila: “Why thank you. Your big brother and fiancée helped with it. Especially the gloves and boots.” raises sleeves, showing the gloves

Luz looked to Amity, who was rubbing the back of her head humbly.

And in 3… 2-

Luz: “POWER SMOOCH!”

Luz’s lips connected into Amity’s in a powerful passionate prolonged smooch that would make Amity melt into abomi-goo if continued for too long. But right before it could reach that point, Luz let her beloved’s lips go with a hearty-

Luz: “MWAH!”

And like that, Amity was a tomato blushing dizzy swaying kitty. Everyone shared a chuckle at that as Hunter checked his aPhone, thankful Luz had pockets sewed onto these outfits.

Hunter: “Hey, it’s almost six. We should get going.”

Luz: “Right! But first,” hands her mom her aPhone “We’ll need some pictures first.”

One montage of pictures later.

Luz: scrolls at the various group shots on her aPhone “Perfect…” glances to the fourth wall “What? We’re running late. A montage was the fastest way to get the snappies.” with energetic excitement “Power of the montage, baby!” looks to the gang “Alright, Hexsquad” glances to Vee and Masha “honorary members included. It’s time to get a’rollin’!”

Luz and Vee gave their mom one last hug.

Vee: “I’ll be back before late tonight, mama.”

Camila: “You all have fun.” kisses Vee and Luz’s foreheads making the pair blush in embarrassment

And with that ever took their leave for the Boiling Isles and the Halloween party on the other side. Their first Halloween party in the demon world. What could possibly go wrong?
