For the first time in the history of costume parties, Greg had found the perfect costume for the party at his sister's house. It combined his absolute love of superheroes with his desire not to be tagged in any embarrassing pictures afterwards looking drunk and stupid. It was a simple, Lycra Spiderman costume he ordered off the internet the month before the party, and when it had arrived he spent a full day wandering around the house pretending to be Spiderman. He was a little bit nerdy like that, but everybody knew it.
On the night of the party he stood outside his sister's house and pulled the tight fitting mask over his head ready to make his big entrance, but after he looked around and noticed no open windows he just went through the door like normal, only making a special effort to jump through and landing in the classic hands-out Spiderman pose to get everybody to turn around and admire his costume.
And everybody did, despite the fact that they had already done the same thing for the four other Spidermen who had also made the exact same entrance before him. As he straightened up, his sister Jennifer came up next to him.
"Nice costume." She smirked as he pulled off the mask.
"Yeah well, at least mine looks good on me."
He was referring to Jennifer's Wonder Woman costume. She had the red Lycra top and blue shorts with white stars, and had even gone to the effort of finding accurate red plastic boots and a yellow tiara, which was sitting in her long brown wavy hair. To Greg the top and shorts seemed a little too tight, and try as he might he couldn't stop staring at her breasts, which were heaving against the tight Lycra.
"Yeah well, at least I'm unique. You guys could form a crime-fighting gang." She said sarcastically as she waved her hand towards the group of Spidermen who were standing together, watching with interest as another of their kind had leaped through the door.
The other guys pulled off their masks, and in the middle stood Joe, Jennifer's boyfriend. She stared at him with her mouth open.
"Joe? Oh for christssakes..."
Joe grinned sheepishly, and in an effort to win back some points he wrapped his hands around Jennifer's hips and pulled her close to kiss her.
"Don't listen to him babe, I think you look amazing. Your boobs are fantastic in that tight top and anybody can see it. I can't stop looking at them." Joe pulled the top out and looked down the front. Greg rolled his eyes.
"Problem is, Wonder Woman had shortish black hair, not long and brown." He said and grinned. Jennifer wrinkled her nose at him.
Greg laughed and went to get a drink and circulate.
There were a lot of girls at the party. Greg liked the tall honey-skinned Catwoman in the kitchen but judging by the hand that was permanently rested on her butt she appeared to be with the 1960's style Batman standing next to her. He checked out Princess Leia and thought that he wouldn't mind ripping the tape off of her. He wondered if anybody would get that joke if he used it later.
After a couple of drinks he talked to an exceptionally tall Hit-Girl, but found that the more he looked at her the more her long face and full bottom lip reminded him of a picture of Gene Simmons that a child with very few crayons had colored in, so he made his excuses and moved on. It was a shame because he loved the purple costume. Unfortunately the only other person there in purple was a guy dressed like Prince, and Greg didn't swing that way, even for Prince, who he loved.
As the night wore on he made some headway with one of the three Britney Spears, but she ended up leaving arm in arm with a Wookie when Greg had gone to get drinks and got waylaid by a guy who was dressed as either a funeral director or one of the Men In Black.
All in all, by the end of the night Greg felt like the entire evening had been a bust for him, and not only that but he wasn't even drunk, which was one of the more achievable targets he had set for himself that night.
He wandered around the house and made his way up the staircase, partly to get away from the people downstairs and partly to see if he could 'accidentally' walk in on any action that might be going on upstairs. Unfortunately after bursting into the bedrooms one at a time, he found nothing at all. He even tried Jennifer's own room with no luck, and found himself watching out of the front window at the amusing spectacle of Ghandi throwing punches at a Hobbit, who then attempted to kick him as the Bee Gees dragged him away.
'Non-violent protest my ass' he thought to himself as he closed the blinds.
He flopped onto the bed and laid with his hands behind his head, and thought about what a blow out his night had been.
'Oh well,' he thought, 'might as well just go to sleep.'
He dozed for a while and in his half-sleep he heard the front door opening and closing and the sounds of people saying goodnight to each other. He decided that he should probably go too, but wanted five more minutes of sleep before he went. He had no sooner closed his eyes than he heard the bedroom door open, and he opened them just in time to see Wonder Woman stagger slightly across the floor and fall down face-first onto the bottom of the bed by his feet. He grinned to himself, Jennifer had never been able to hold her alcohol. She turned her head and stared at him.
"Don't look at me like that, Spiderman, I'm not wasted, just tipsy." And with that she laughed and pushed herself onto her side and looked at him laying on the bed.
"I had fun tonight. I was hoping for more fun, but I guess there's plenty of time for that, right?"
Greg didn't really understand but didn't bother to ask for clarification, he knew from experience that the worst thing to do when confronted by a drunk Jennifer was to attempt conversation. Instead he closed his eyes and relaxed and thought about all the girls at the party who hadn't explicitly told him to piss off and made mental notes to look for them at the next party. He felt the bed move and opened his eyes in time to see Jennifer's hand touch his knee and stroke up between his legs to lay warm and flat on his testicles. He opened his mouth to protest and tell her Jennifer that she was about to make a terrible mistake, but she started talking first.
