Halloween was here, and Geek really wanted to help Armstrong celebrate his first one. But I can't take him out of the cave...minor problem, I can still dress him him, Geek thought with a smile. "Armstrong, come here. We shall be festive."

Armstrong lifted himself the few feet that separated him from Geek with ease, enjoying the stretching of his wings and the feel of Geeks thoughts. He radiated a slice of orange.

"We shall celebrate one of the greatest holidays ever! Halloween!" Geek said throwing his arms up into the air.

Armstrong pushed himself into the air in a flash of yellow and orange. He saw sheet ghosts and 5 year old goblins running about, chewing and screaming with glee. Several strange beings were watching flames that dance with feelings so beautiful they made Armstrong want to soar. Armstrong flapped and landed hard against Geek.

"Oomph!" Geek fell back as his arms moved around Armstrong. He hit the ground hard with Armstrong resting on his chest. "I see that you are excited. I know just the costume for you."

Geek gently set Armstrong on the ground and looked at his supplies. Books, notebook, pens, pencil, dice, more dice, even more dice, snack cakes, paint....why do I have paint? Geek pulled the paint out and looked at the colors. "Let's see what we can do Armstrong."

Armstrong enjoyed the colors of the paint; they were feelings in jars.

Geek took the lids off of the jars. I have paint but no paintbrushes? he thought. How did I manage that?

Armstrong moved himself closer and leaned towards the feelings.

"Armstrong, be careful..."

Geek's warning came too late. Armstrong knocked one jar of paint over. Armstrong tried to stop it by using his wings like all those people in the images Geek sent him, but he over balanced and landed in the puddle of blue that had started to spread from the jar. Armstrong flashed black, orange, yellow, and blue for the color beneath him, trying to regain his normal orientation. Instead, his wings knocked the rest of the jars over and rolled him through the colors.

Geek moved to help Armstrong, sending green with soft blue to calm. "Let me help you."

Armstrong calmed as he felt Geek gently stand him up.

Geek started to chuckle, then couldn't hold back and guffawed. "I see you manged to find a costume all on your own, Armstrong." Armstrong sent a yellow question feeling. " You're an Easter egg," Geek answered still laughing.
