'Twas Friday in December, and people were getting ready for the up coming holidays. Houses were decorated, people were starting to wear heavier clothing, and there was even more joy then usual in the air. Amoungst all this joy and happiness, Alex was getting ready for the day, which was going to be a good one for him. He had an idea the night before, an idea to have a cosplay Friday. He called all of his friends that morning to let them know, and he was pulling out a costum of his own. He laid the costume out on his bed in front of him, and he smiled.

Alex made his entrance by kicking the school doors open, getting everyone's attention. He slowly walked inside, and people stood in awe of his costume. He was wearing an Ezio costume, It had a beaked hood that was classic for the franchise. He was also wearing two genuine leather gauntlets with the retracting mechanism and dull hidden blades on each wrist. He spotted his friends all talking with one another.

Warhawk was dressed like Kirito from Sword Art Online. Soul was dressed as C3PO. Straight was dressed as Randy Orton. Treble dressed like Deadpool. Zero dressed like Wolverine. Clyde was dressed like the Hulk. Artemis Dressed like Green arrow. Mise dressed he usually did because fuck the rules. Daemon dressed as superman. Night dressed as Captain America. Swift dressed like the flash, and Rivet was dressed like Batman. Alex strode up to his friends, smiling the whole way.

"Sup guys?" Alex said.

"Nice Ezio costume dude." Warhawk said.

"Thanks. Nice coat, it looks a lot better in real life then it did in SAO." Alex said. "Unfortunately, not everyone came in costume today." He said, staring at Mise.

"Hey, I am in costume! I'm a drunken Irishmen." He said.

"Your drunk?"

"Not yet I'm not." Mise said. Alex sighed and chuckled.

"Alright guys, let's show these dipthongs how cosplaying is done." Alex said. They all started walking to their home room, getting the occasional stares from impressed people. Night tapped Alex on the shoulder, getting his attention.

"Hey, are those blades real?" He asked.

"Yeah, they're made of real metal and all." Alex said. "But between you and me, the blades are so dull they couldn't cut paper. But don't tell anyone but the principle and the guys that." He whispered. Night nodded his head and they continued to home room. Alex had a feeling that everyone felt as badass as he did, I mean who wouldn't? Him and his friends are dressed up as badass characters, they should feel like badasses. They were about to walk through the door, when a boy stopped him. Alex recognized him, he had almost forgotten about this guy after being on the road for so long.

"Hello... Alex." He said.

"Kevin." Alex said. his face of happiness was replaced by one of anger.

"I see your still as short as ever. Pity, I thought you would have turned out to be taller. I see you've made some friends, good for you. Even losers need friends." Kevin said.

"Why you little!-" Alex was cut off by a punch to the face. His friends rushed to his side. He got up, wiping the corner of his mouth.

"Are you alright?!" Clyde asked.

"Do you need me to handle him?" Straight asked.

"No... I've got him." Alex said. Everyone looked at him like he was mad. Kevin just laughed. Alex removed his gauntlets and handed them to soul. He cracked his neck and knuckles, before staring at Kevin.

"I'm waiting, midget!" Kevin said smugly. Alex ran full speed at the wall right near Kevin. With a quick push of the wall, Alex gave him a full force roundhouse kick to the face. Everyone around his let out a set of cringes and ooo's at the sight of it.

"That's gotta hurt." Straight said. Kevin just dropped unconscious. Alex grabbed a book from someone and opened it to a random page, he sat down next to Kevin's unconscious body.

"There once was a boy, known as the boy who got smacked. He was a dickhole to everybody, and no one really liked him. One day, he messed with someone half his size, and he got roundhouse kicked in the face. And that is how he became known, as the boy who got smacked. Night night bitch." Alex stood up and threw the book behind him. A series of OOHH's eminated from the people around him. Treble was laughing extremely hard, and he rolled on the ground laughing.

"Alright, alright. I know it was funny but it wasn't that funny. Soul, I'm gonna need my gauntlets back." Alex said.

"Sure thing, Ezio." Soul said. Alex chuckled and took his gauntlets.

"Dude! Do you know martial arts or something?!" Swift asked.

"No, but I do know how to do advanced Parkour, and you'd be surprised how much parkour can come in handy in a fight." Alex said.

"Dude, doesn't that literally make you like Ezio?" Warhawk asked. Alex paused for a moment and raised his fist into the air.

"I shall now be called Ezio Auditore! Fear me N' stuff." Alex said. "That started out so well, but then I ran out of things to say."

"Well, let's get to home room." Clyde said.

"Wait! I have my speech figured out!" Alex said.

"Nope, too late, the moments gone." Straight said.

"Dammit!" Next Chapter: Parkour master and the beginners Estimated time remaining: 25 Minutes
