In Charles estimation, Diana Marks is a classy lady, and she has agreed to go on a Halloween date with Buddy. They had only talked with each other for a few minutes and suddenly Buddy is worried that Diana won't like him when they have to spend the evening together at the annual Halloween party given by a classmate. Buddy doesn't want to disappoint her, and he is worried that she might consider his costume not original enough. Charles is trying to be a good friend and agrees to meet Diana at the student union before the date. Charles approaches Diana, drops a book in front of her, and she picks it up and hands it to Charles with a smile. Gwendolyn witnesses the exchange by chance and is shocked and concerned. At that moment Buddy comes by and tries to explain what is going on. From then on things get a little confusing. At the end though, the evening might still turn out alright for Charles and Buddy. After all, this is Halloween -- Douglas explains -- it is a special night. You can knock on peoples' door, and even though they don't know you, they smile at you and give you candy. And all you have to do is wear a mask. Charles and Buddy look at each other and instantly decide to go out into the night - Halloween night! They are sure that their respective date is still waiting for them.moreless

"Fair"

By Lady_Lancaster, May 05, 2010

It's Halloween and the Pembroke children are going out trick or treating with their parents. Meanwhile, Buddy is in quite a state because the lovely Diana Marks (Kimberley Ross) has agreed to go out on a Halloween date with him. Buddy fears that the image he presented during his brief meeting with Diana will soon be shown to be false and asks Charles to go down to the student union to meet her and "accidently" run into her so that he can praise Buddy up.

Charles is very reluctant to do this but finally agrees and contrives to talk to Diana who, to Charles's amazement is just as nervous about living up to Buddy's expectations as Buddy is about living up to hers. Charles assures her that Buddy is all kinds of wonderful and Diana feeels more relaxed but, unfortunately, Gwendolyn doesn't when she arrives and sees Charles apparently chatting up a beautiful girl. Thankfully, Buddy turns up soon after and explains what is happening.

Deciding that they want to have some real fun on Halloween, Charles and Buddy go out on the town because they know that both smitten girls will still be waiting for them when they return, regardless of how long they take.moreless
