Nothing Like the Movies

Liz and Campbell dress up for the Halloween party. Liz borrows Campbell’s clothes to dress like Batgirl. At the party, Liz tries to blend in so that Wes won’t find her. She wonders what she’ll do if he does recognize her in the crowd.

Wes arrives at the party with Mickey and AJ, and he’s dressed as Batman. He breaks away from his friends to find Liz. He finally finds her when he smells her perfume and recognizes her mouth and hands. They step away from the crowd and close themselves inside the attic stairwell. They quickly realize that they’ve accidentally locked themselves inside. They text their friends but have to wait for someone to get the key from the landlord. In the meantime, they go up into the attic and talk. Wes presses Liz about the date, but Liz insists that Wes doesn’t know her anymore. They start asking each other questions so that they can get reacquainted. Then, Wes asks if she would kiss him if they “were just a random Batman and Batgirl at a Halloween party” (362). They move closer and kiss. After they pull away, Wes asks if Liz is okay.
