"We could dress as girls!?"
He was actually smiling at me. Smiling at me across the dinner table in our packed out college cafeteria. He was actually pleased with his suggestion. What the hell was he thinking?
"Hey I'm up for that if you two are!" John chirped in rather too enthusiastically for my liking.
It was always the same, October would be rolling by and we didn't have a clue of what we were going to wear at Tom's annual Halloween bash.
"I don't know guys, it's a little, um, weird, don't you think?" I asked. I didn't really like the idea of dressing up as a girl.
"Oh come on Dan! It's Halloween! Live a little!" Tom didn't have an inhibited bone in his body. Last year he dressed as Tarzan, using only a pair of speedos two sizes too small. It wasn't pretty. "I mean what type of outfit were you thinking?"
Tom thought for a while as John smiled stupidly at the idea of the three of us dressed up like girls. "Nurses!" Tom finally said rather loudly.
"Umm," I sat quietly for a moment contemplating his suggestion, "I really don't know about this."
"Do it!" Tom and John sang at me in unison. "It's only one day out of the year and once you get the wig on and a little make-up people will hardly recognise you. After a night on the booze how many of them will remember you dressed as a nurse?" Tom continued.
I had to admit that Tom's logic had its merits, but the butterflies were circling my stomach already. "Ok, I'll do it, but please promise me that you'll not get anything too revealing?"
"I'll make sure of it!" Tom said with a broad grin.

That was two weeks ago and that whole conversation was still fresh in my mind. However, here I stood in front of my mother's full-length mirror checking myself out in the 'not revealing' costume Tom had gotten me. I have to admit that I did make a decent enough girl. I had never really had much body hair, so the light fuzz beneath my fishnets was barely visible, even to the touch. In addition, the fake boobs Tom had given me sat rather nicely beneath the lacy black bra. Once I had applied the lipstick and my short blonde bob was in place, I didn't look half-bad. However, the issue I had been with the white skirt that barely passed my waist. It didn't even cover the stocking tops. I was seriously worried about flashing the bikini panties Tom had given me to wear. I just hoped I wouldn't' need to bend over. If I was supposed to be dressed as a health worker, I was one of the sexiest I'd ever seen!
"Damn you Tom, I knew you'd pull this kind of shit!" I wasn't best pleased, but thought back to what Tom had said, and he was right. Nobody would really pay attention and most of the party would be too drunk to care.

The three of us were a big hit. Most of the other guys were dressed as vampires or some film star; generally, they were dressed in their normal attire just with a pair of fangs or fake blood down their white tees, not overly impressive.
