Last Night in Tights

Sebastian pulled up to the Halloween party his old, rusty orange Cutlass Supreme.  As he walked up the sidewalk, he adjusted his oversized green t-shirt to cover up the top of his dyed green nylons that he had stolen from his sister earlier that day.  He was dressed as Robin Hood for the party, and his friends were going to be Friar Tuck and Little John.  These costumes were going to kill.  Sebastian walked into the house, as confident as ever, and scanned the floor for someone he knew.  The party was full of doctors, pirates, slutty nuns, slutty maids, and one especially slutty blonde nurse who caught Sebastian’s eye.  He looked through the crowd for his friends.  Possibly in the kitchen?  He found himself suddenly jumped from behind by an animated girl in a pink renaissance gown and a cone hat. It was Lola, a girl Sebastian knew from work at the local Red Lobster.  She had long had a not so secret crush on him, despite the fact that Sebastian could hardly stand to be in a room with her.  Accompanying her was some creepy looking girl he had never seen before.

“Hey, Sebastian!” Lola shrieked.

“Lola, have you seen Mikey and Joe?” Sebastian replied, already clearly annoyed.

“Nope.  So are you Robin Hood?  Because I’m totally the Maid Marian!  It’s so cute!  We need to get like a hundred pictures together tonight!”

“God, I need a drink,” he mumbled to no one.
           
While Lola continued her constant pestering Sebastian spotted his friends over near the television playing Mario Kart.  As he snuck his way through the crowd over to their area, he noticed from a distance that they were indeed not dressed as his Merry Men.  To Sebastian’s horror, they were dressed in homemade Ghostbusters outfits, complete with vacuum pipe backpacks. 

“Guys!” Joe and Mikey paused the game and quickly turned around to face Sebastian.
           
“Oh my God, dude.  What the fuck is that?” Joe laughed.

“Didn’t you get our text?  That Merry Men thing was totally gay.  We were supposed to be Ghostbusters,” shouted Mikey. 

“You assholes are ridiculous.  You never sent me a damn text!”

“Hey, Sebastian, I think there’s a gay bar down the street.  They’d probably let you in without cover!” Joe laughed again.

Sebastian, now clearly depressed, sauntered over towards the keg and drinking game section of the party to quite literally drown his sorrows.  After lining up and downing two shots of tequila with the girl he’d met in his sociology class, he bought a cup and slowly helped drain the keg. 

“What the hell are you, dude?” guys shouted behind him.

“I think he’s one of those fairies from the Narnia movie,” others laughed.

“No, he’s supposed to be an 18th century male hooker.”

Sebastian was humiliated.  In between insults and the incredible task of dodging Lola, he found time to drink and drink.  Little did he know, he was in for the wildest night of his entire life…
