Plans Aplenty || June & Fletcher
June: "Before you say it's too much, no, it's not too much." June set two casseroles and a container of cookies she'd brought on Fletcher's table. "I was in a cooking mood."
Fletcher: "Are they rich and heart attack inducin'?" He smiled. "'Cause I love tormentin' Luke with that."
June: "They're loaded with chocolate chips and butter so yes," she said with a chuckle. "I put some nuts in there too. That's kinda healthy. Ish."
Fletcher: "I think he's tryin' t'make me vegan," he said, making a face.
June: She laughed. "He just wants you to be healthy and eat more green things."
Fletcher: "I'll be fine. He ain't gotta worry n'I don't like kale."
June: "It's good when it's mixed with other things. I put it in one of those casseroles."
Fletcher: He made another face. "You're one of them."
June: June laughed.
"There's a ton of cheese in there, too. And chicken."
Fletcher: His smile faded as he dwelled on a thought. "Ya like him, Luke?"
June: "Of course I do. He's sweet and he adores you, what's not to like?"
Fletcher: "He's all that, I just don't get why..."
June: She walked over and kissed Fletcher's cheek. "He does. And I do."
Fletcher: "But ya know what I do t'relationships. Ya saw it first-hand."
June: June squeezed his hand. "This isn't the same situation. Whole different ballgame here, and from an outsider's perspective, it looks like it's going really well. You look so happy."
Fletcher: "I am..." and it scared him. She probably already knew that.
June: She did, which was why he got another kiss and squeeze. "He looks really happy, too. You should see the way he looks at you." She smiled. "I'd give anything for someone to give me the Gatsby look."
Fletcher: Fletcher turned into the kiss, his sigh one of peace. "The Gatsby look?"
June: "You know that bit in the movie where they say Gatsby looked at Daisy the way everyone wanted to be looked at?"
Fletcher: "I ain't watched em or read it."
June: "Oh my god, you have to. It's such a good movie."
Fletcher: "It's a chick flick, right?"
June: "Parts of it could be called chick flick-y. The rest falls under classic."
Fletcher: "Classics can be chick flicks. Just sayin'."
June: "True, true. Either way you have to watch it so you'll get how Luke looks at you."
Fletcher: "Is it... watchable with him next t'me? What about ya watchin' with us?"
June: June nodded. "Yep! I think he'd really enjoy it."
She brightened, nodding immediately. "I'd love to!"
Fletcher: Those bright eyes made him smile. "How 'bout this Sunday?"
June: "Perfect! My place or yours?"
Fletcher: "How 'bout yours? New experience for him."
June: "Done. I'll get popcorn and junk food."
Fletcher: Another smile. "He'll probably bring kale juice or somethin'."
June: "No kale juice allowed on movie day!" she chuckled. "Tell him it's house rules."
Fletcher: "I'll let him know," he chuckled.
June: "See that you do. Any requests?"
Fletcher: "Those croissant-wrapped lil sausages? Please. I'll being the mustard. They've been banned from the house."
June: June laughed. "You got it," she said with a nod. "Did he really ban them?"
Fletcher: "He frowns loudly by how often I ate em so I stopped."
June: "Aww," she chuckled. "That's sweet. And a little funny."
Fletcher: "So, anyway," he wasn't used to so much romance talk, "how's work been? Any mention givin' ya trouble?" As though he hadn't been watching.
June: "It's been good! A lot less trouble behind the bar, especially now that P--" She abruptly cut herself off and continued down a different path. "You still get the occasional moron but that's par for the course. It's a bar after all."
Fletcher: "...It's okay, June. Ya know how t'punch now." Of course he was back; of course he knew. He had no intention to delve into that.
June: Neither did she. The last thing she wanted was to make Fletcher talk about Pete. If he wanted to talk about him, he'd bring him up.
"I do know how to punch now, thanks to you." She grinned. "Guess what? I found a boxing gym in the next town over."
Fletcher: "There's one in town but it's pretty seedy." She probably already knew that. With Peter mentioned, his mind was trailing away.
June: "It is," she said, making a face. "It almost makes O'Charlie's look like a five-star hotel."
Fletcher: "Yeah, if ya told me ya were goin' there I'd probably be goin' with ya."
June: June gasped. "You should go with me!"
Fletcher: "But it's so far." I'm so lazy.
June: "Come oooooon. I'll drive."
Fletcher: "Fine, fine. I'll help with gas money."
June: "I'll pass it on to my sister Ruby. I've been using her car since I don't have the Caddy anymore."
Fletcher: "What happened t'the Caddy?"
June: "Uh...its owner returned."
Fletcher: "...Right. That. Thought Luke was watchin' it. I swear ya mentioned this..."
June: "Luke's got his own fancy car. I was looking after the Caddy after my dad made me get rid of my 'road hazard'," she said, making air quotes.
Fletcher: "Road hazard?"
June: "That's what he used to call my Honda. It was up there in years and issues."
Fletcher: "Need a co-signer for a car?"
June: June gave Fletcher a pleasantly surprised look. "You'd do that for me?"
Fletcher: "If no one else in your family will or can, yeah."
June: "You're such a good friend." June squeezed him to within an inch of his life. "I love you."
Fletcher: "Augh!" He groaned, laughter following. "It's just a car, Junebug. I got ya covered."
June: "It's more than that," she said, squeezing him more.
Fletcher: He held to her by her forearm. "What is it?"
June: "Just...the fact that you'd even offer. And mean it."
Fletcher: "Ya know others would offer."
June: "Yeah but that's my family. I know a lot of people but not a lot of people like you." She kissed his cheek. "I mean, you taught me how to throw a punch."
Fletcher: Why wasn't it Peter years ago? He was frowning. He tried to mask it, looking away and patting her arm. "Love ya, too."
June: "Hey." June gently took his face in her hands. "What is it?"
Fletcher: "S'nothin, bug."
June: "You can tell me."
Fletcher: "I can but we don't talk 'bout that."
June: She nodded, kissing his forehead. "Okay. But if you ever need to or just want to, we can. You can talk to me about anything, Fletcher. You know that, don't you?"
Fletcher: "Ya ain't gotta be that kinda person, honey. Ya deserve better than someone talkin' your ear off."
June: "I'd be one hell of a hypocrite if I spent all day talking people's ears off and couldn't take the time to listen to my best friend."
Fletcher: "Who was your best friend before me?"
June: "No one. Haven't had a best friend since middle school."
Fletcher: "Don't tell me that. Now we sound like kids."
June: She laughed softly. "There are worse things to sound like."
Fletcher: "I guess. Just...curious why someone didn't teach ya sooner."
June: She didn't have to ask who the someone was; his tone told her. "Short answer? I never thought to ask or think I needed it."
Fletcher: "That's not how our conversation went. I offered n'asked because it was obvious."
June: "I'm sure it was to him, too. Why do you think he got a reputation for yelling and throwing people out? It was because of me."
Fletcher: "He does a lot of that anyway."
June: "He's always yelled, sure. He's always broken up fights. But he never had to manhandle someone out the door until I started working there. And he wouldn't have had to if I'd had more self-respect and better taste."
Fletcher: The Samsa blinked. "Why ya sayin' that?"
June: She gave him a small, sad smile. "Because it's true. Self-respect and I are just starting to become friends."
Fletcher: "Why d'ya - It doesn't matter what kinda woman ya are, ya should be respected. N'he shoulda done better. He shoulda been good t'ya n'given ya the tools t'stand up for yourself."
June: "He tried, Fletcher. He drove me to the army surplus store once on my birthday to buy me a knife and I didn't let him. I lost count of all the times he warned me about men I dated and I never listened. He's been very good to me, he tried to do right by me. I just...I couldn't see the writing on the wall. So he started punching people."
Fletcher: "Why didn't ya take the knife?"
June: "I didn't think I needed it. Thought he was just being Pete, you know? Being overprotective."
Fletcher: "D'ya have one now?"
June: June nodded, smile a little happier. "Yeah. He gave it to me that following Christmas. Along with that." She pointed at the alarm panel on the wall.
Fletcher:
"Good." Knife, alarm, boxing. She was improving herself with defense. "Would ya be opposed t – never mind."
June: "No, tell me. Opposed to what?"
Fletcher: "Workin' at like... The Brig. I miss seein' ya."
June: "I miss seeing you, too. Why do you think I'm trying to make you go to the gym with me?"
Fletcher: "...Alright. Yeah. Then I'll... I'll definitely go."
June: "Yay!" He was squeezed and kissed yet again. "We're gonna be so ripped."
Fletcher: Now that he had to laugh at. "This physique doesn't get ripped. I tried in high school."
June: "Then we're gonna be in really, really good shape. We'll be able to run marathons."
Fletcher: "Alright. We'll see. Ready t'deck someone in the face for whistlin'? Ain't that what happens these days?"
June: "A whistle's nice every now and then. But if someone tries to grab my ass, they're going down."
Fletcher: "I'll be there cheerin' ya on, bug."
June: June beamed at him. "You always are. You deserve a cookie for it. Do you like chocolate chip?"
Fletcher: "What am I, a hound?" he laughed.
June: "If you were I couldn't give you chocolate chip," June said with a giggle.
Fletcher: "Ruff!" He laughed against her cheek before kissing it. "Muwah."
June: June giggled again at the kiss. Well that affection definitely deserved a gigantic hug. "I love you to death, you know that?"
Fletcher: "Mm," was a content little sound in response. "M'not worthy."
June: "You're the worthiest. No arguments."
Fletcher: "...Hmm."
June: "Ah, that was an argument. None of that."
Fletcher: Ah. He shook his head and laughed. "Weird kid."
June: "You love my weirdness," she said cheerfully. "Want some coffee with your cookie?"
Fletcher: "What, right now?"
June: "Sure! No time like the present."
Fletcher: "Uh...okay."
June: "Great!" She kissed his cheek. "I like fussing over you."
Fletcher: "I guess I spoil ya with reasons, huh?"
June: "Your existence is all the reason I need, sweetheart."
Fletcher: "Ugh. Stop with the diabetes!"
June: "Neverrrrrr."
Fletcher: "Tell me somethin' with less sugar."
June: "Um....Socks killed a rat?"
Fletcher: "Awesome," he smiled.
June: "It was waiting for me when I got out of the shower. I almost stepped on it."
Fletcher: "It was a gift. He thinks you're hungry."
June: "I know, and it would be super cute if it wasn't a rat and if I hadn't screamed. He brought me a cheerio later that day."
Fletcher: "Well, he saw y'all had different tastes," he laughed.
June: "He's a smart little cookie, I love him."
Fletcher: "He have anyone else to play with?"
June: "His brother, Mrs. Pennyapple's kitty. I try to go over there as often as I can."
Fletcher: "He don't mind the travel?"
June: "I think he enjoys it. I carry him in my jacket."
Fletcher: "You're a regular ol' Snow White."
June: "In looks at least," she said with a smile. "How's Creep?"
Fletcher: "Creep's still a Creep. Still can't tell if she likes Luke or not."
June: "She's a mysterious lady. I can't tell if she likes me either."
Fletcher: "She didn't even like her babies. I think they were her first."
June: "How old is she?"
Fletcher: "Almost ten? Shit, probably older."
June: "And these were her first babies? Damn."
Fletcher: "She's not an outside cat. She only purrs when I feed her and when she tries to smother me in my sleep."
June: June giggled. "Socks does the same thing. They want all the warmth."
Fletcher: "So, what d'ya wanna do now?"
June: "I say we eat and watch something ridiculous."
Fletcher: "Campy movie and greasy burgers?"
June: "You're a genius."
Fletcher: "I'll order the food, ya pick the movie."
June: She gave him a giant kiss on the cheek. "Deal!"

13 DIY Couples’ Costume Ideas That Are Better Than Anything You Can Buy In A Store
I love Halloween. I love creepy things. I love parties. I love candy (but not candy corn, gross). And most of all, I love making things. So, it’s pretty much the perfect holiday for someone like me. I spend all year making little notes on my phone of good couples costume ideas and mentally engineering their creation so that by the time fall rolls around, I’m all set and ready to go. But let’s assume that, unlike me, you aren’t a neurotic Halloween lover and you don’t have a ton of DIY couples costume ideas in your phone. Don’t worry, you can have some of mine. Trust me, I’ve got plenty.
So, whether you prefer something cute, sexy, or nightmare-inducing, I’ve figured out how to put it on your bods. Yes, you could just run down to the local costume store, but that’s so boring! That’s how you end up at a party with everyone in the same Harley Quinn and Jack Sparrow costumes. Anyone can buy a costume at the store, but it takes a bit more effort and creativity to make it yourself. And really, don’t you and your partner deserve to win all the contests this year?
Here are some ideas to borrow, or at least to get your creativity flowin’.
1. Baby And Debora From Baby Driver
Giphy
This year’s coolest couple, hands down, are Baby and Debora from Baby Driver. If you have a partner who’s tough to talk into dressing up for Halloween, this is the couples costume he won’t be able to turn down. Who doesn’t want to be a bad ass get away driver? As a bonus, it’s actually really cool stuff you will want to wear year round.
For Debora, you’ll want to find a cute retro waitress dress and pair it with a sheepskin lined denim jacket. The Baby costume is just as easy: You just need the varsity style jacket, a white tee, black wayfarers, jeans, and black shoes. If you really want to complete the look, you can add a scar with with wax. Just make sure not to forget the earbuds!
2. The Fairly Odd Parents
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
Want to be Wanda and Cosmo for Halloween this year? Your wish is my command. This one will take some minor fabrication, but I promise you are totally up for it. For Wanda, you will need a yellow tee, black pants, wings, and pink hair spray. Cosmo’s outfit is just a white button up shirt, black tie, black pants, green hair spray, and, of course, some more fairy wings. That just leaves their fairy crowns and wands. Time to get crafty. To create the crowns, you’ll need small headbands that will blend in your hair, a sheet of yellow foam, and some craft wire. To make the wand, you’ll need some wood dowels painted black, and you can use the leftover foam sheet to make the stars.
3. Yorkie And Kelly from Black Mirror
Netflix
Did you cry like a baby when Black Mirror’s San Junipero episode took home the Emmy for Outstanding Television series this year, too? Yeah, that’s because Yorkie and Kelly are everything, including this year’s queer girl couples costume goals. Unless you want to spend your next month trawling through a million thrift shops to find the perfect blinged-out jacket, the key is to just find modern pieces, which, when accessorized properly, give them an ’80s feel.
To channel Yorkie’s party girl vibe, you’ll need an embellished purple jacket, black corset top, and black harem pants. Top it off with a black oversized bow in the hair. To capture the adorable nerdiness of Kelly, pair a light blue sweatshirt with a pink collared shirt, khaki shorts, and don’t forget the wire-rimmed glasses. Cutest duo ever.
4. Cards Against Humanity
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
Need a last minute costume that is actually awesome? Good news: This one only requires some foam boards and black and white paint pens! If you want to get more interactive, opt for chalkboards and erasable pens. Warning: That can get very dangerous as the night goes on and the drinks are flowing. Hmm, actually, that pretty much describes every game of Cards Against Humanity I’ve ever played, so it’s on theme!
5. Diana Prince And Steve Trevor From Wonder Woman
Warner Bros. Pictures
All I want in life is to be Wonder Woman. Is that too much to ask? Yes, yes, it is, because I don’t have the fabrication skills to create a breast plate. Now her disguise outfit… that’s something I can achieve. Was there anyone more dapper than Diana Prince and Steve Trevor as they made their way through the streets of 1910s London? Nope, and this is how you steal their style this Halloween.
This is not a warm-climate-appropriate costume. Go this route only if your Halloween is going to be on the chilly side. To get the Diana look, you’ll need a wool houndstooth coat, belted. Under the coat, you’ll need a white collared shirt, long skirt, and Victorian style boots. Oh, and don’t forget her sword. Steve’s costume is made of up layers: Start with a turtleneck sweater, topped with a brown leather vest and sheepskin lined coat. Pair all of this with a pair of dark khaki pants and black boots. Top it off with a navy brood hat to really nail the period costume.
6. The Purge
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
Personally, I love a scary costume on Halloween, and what is scarier than the idea of all your friends and neighbors suddenly turning into homicidal maniacs for 12 hours every year? Plus, this costume is great if you’re a procrastinator, because it can be made up almost entirely of things you already have in your wardrobe. Your best bets are something sexy — or ironic — like lingerie, a prom dress, or a tux. To complete the look, you’ll need to make a mask, and there are great tutorials online on how to turn them into Purge masks. And of course, you’ll need your killing spree weapons of choice.
7. Pop Art
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
Another last-minute costume that will still wow at any Halloween party is to turn the two of you into living pop art. There are some great tutorials on YouTube that will walk you through the makeup technique. To complete the look, think retro-inspired comic book clothing, and you can add speech bubbles with a headband, craft wire, and some paper. One last bit of advice: I highly suggest a few practice run throughs before hand. Otherwise your costume might be a living Pinterest fail instead.
8. Dipper And Mabel
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
Is it creepy if your couples costume is made up of a brother and sister? Nah, not when it’s Dipper and Mable. They’re hardly the Lannisters, if you know what I’m sayin’. Anyway, moving on. Here’s how to become Gravity Falls’ greatest mystery solvers. For Dipper, you’ll need an orange t-shirt, blue vest, white socks, black shoes, and grey shorts. To complete the look, you’ll also need his signature hat, and to create that you need a blue trucker hat and some fabric paint to add the little blue tree. You might as well get the whole fabric paint kit, because you’re going to need a few more colors to create Mabel’s rainbow and star turtleneck. The rest of her costume is easy; it’s just a denim skirt, white knee socks, and some black ballet flats. Oh, and her headband too, of course. Cryptids of the Northwest will shiver when they see you coming.
9. Ellie And Grant From Jurassic Park
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
You know who were an awesome couple? Ellie and Grant from Jurassic Park. They were smart, adventurous, and totally went toe-to-toe with prehistoric monsters… and won! Total couples goals. Yes, I know they weren’t together in the sequels, but let’s just make a pact to pretend they never happened, OK? Good. Moving on.
Here is how you can become Ellie and Grant for Halloween. Spoiler alert: Brace for khaki. For Ellie, you’ll need khaki shorts, a blue tank top, a pink button up (tied at the waist), hiking boots, and grey socks. For Grant, khaki pants, a denim shirt, a red bandana tied at the neck, hiking boots, and top it off with a wide brimmed fedora. Oh, and some dinosaur props really tie it all together.
If your boo isn’t really a “Grant type,” there’s always the doctor of chaos himself, Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcom. Just sayin’.
10. Hook And Tinker Bell
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
Who wants to be Peter Pan and Wendy when you can be Tink and Hook? They have all the best accessories anyway. I dunno, I ship ’em. To create a cool Captain Hook, you need a red blazer, white blouse, a hook, and pirate captain’s hat with feathers. To get your Tinker Bell on, you’ll want a green tulle dress and fairy wings. Simple and cute.
11. Pennywise And Georgie From It
Giphy
Did you see It yet? Of course you did — everyone has. Thats because it’s scary as hell. I had nightmares for two nights after I saw it that Pennywise was peeking in my window. How messed up is that? Anyway, that also means it’s going to be a fantastic couples costume if you want to terrorize everyone else at the party. What else is Halloween for, right? The Georgie costume is easy; all you really need a is a hooded yellow rain coat, rain boots, and maybe a paper boat. To create your Pennywise, you’ll need a men’s white ruffled shirt, neck ruff, and pirate style pants. Add red pompoms down the front and on the toes of the shoes. Top it off with a red wig, killer clown makeup, and a red balloon. Why? Because they float. They all float.
12. Nasa And The Stars
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
I love this couples costume, because what is more “meant to be together” than a NASA nerd and the galaxy? It’s sweet and clever and probably mostly already in your closet. Don’t lie — we all bought a galaxy dress in the last few years. Now you get to pull it back out and be the cutest couple at the party. For your astronomy nerd costume, you’ll just need a NASA tee, some nerd glasses (or add tape to yours), and suspenders are a nice touch. The stars really aligned for this costumes. Eh? Nudge, nudge.
13. Rick And Morty From Rick And Morty
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
You’re gonna wubba-dubba-dub-love this costume idea! Want a reason to love Rick and Morty, I mean besides the fact that it’s just stone cold genius? This season they decided to implement gender parity in the writer’s room, and the show has never been better. Plus, when internet jerks decided it would be awesome to doxx those writers, creator Dan Harmon publicly smacked them down. Awesome. OK, now that you are pumped to celebrate all things Rick and Morty, here’s how to achieve the look. For Rick, you’ll need a lab coat, light blue shirt, khaki pants, a wig, and his trusty portal gun. Morty’s costume is a yellow shirt and jeans, but I

To complete the look, you’ll also need his signature hat, and to create that you need a blue trucker hat and some fabric paint to add the little blue tree. You might as well get the whole fabric paint kit, because you’re going to need a few more colors to create Mabel’s rainbow and star turtleneck. The rest of her costume is easy; it’s just a denim skirt, white knee socks, and some black ballet flats. Oh, and her headband too, of course. Cryptids of the Northwest will shiver when they see you coming.
9. Ellie And Grant From Jurassic Park

You know who were an awesome couple? Ellie and Grant from Jurassic Park. They were smart, adventurous, and totally went toe-to-toe with prehistoric monsters… and won! Total couples goals. Yes, I know they weren’t together in the sequels, but let’s just make a pact to pretend they never happened, OK? Good. Moving on.
Here is how you can become Ellie and Grant for Halloween. Spoiler alert: Brace for khaki. For Ellie, you’ll need khaki shorts, a blue tank top, a pink button up (tied at the waist), hiking boots, and grey socks. For Grant, khaki pants, a denim shirt, a red bandana tied at the neck, hiking boots, and top it off with a wide brimmed fedora. Oh, and some dinosaur props really tie it all together.
If your boo isn’t really a “Grant type,” there’s always the doctor of chaos himself, Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcom. Just sayin’.
10. Hook And Tinker Bell

Who wants to be Peter Pan and Wendy when you can be Tink and Hook? They have all the best accessories anyway. I dunno, I ship ’em. To create a cool Captain Hook, you need a red blazer, white blouse, a hook, and pirate captain’s hat with feathers. To get your Tinker Bell on, you’ll want a green tulle dress and fairy wings. Simple and cute.
11. Pennywise And Georgie From It
Giphy
Did you see It yet? Of course you did — everyone has. Thats because it’s scary as hell. I had nightmares for two nights after I saw it that Pennywise was peeking in my window. How messed up is that? Anyway, that also means it’s going to be a fantastic couples costume if you want to terrorize everyone else at the party. What else is Halloween for, right? The Georgie costume is easy; all you really need a is a hooded yellow rain coat, rain boots, and maybe a paper boat. To create your Pennywise, you’ll need a men’s white ruffled shirt, neck ruff, and pirate style pants. Add red pompoms down the front and on the toes of the shoes. Top it off with a red wig, killer clown makeup, and a red balloon. Why? Because they float. They all float.
12. Nasa And The Stars

I love this couples costume, because what is more “meant to be together” than a NASA nerd and the galaxy? It’s sweet and clever and probably mostly already in your closet. Don’t lie — we all bought a galaxy dress in the last few years. Now you get to pull it back out and be the cutest couple at the party. For your astronomy nerd costume, you’ll just need a NASA tee, some nerd glasses (or add tape to yours), and suspenders are a nice touch. The stars really aligned for this costumes. Eh? Nudge, nudge.
13. Rick And Morty From Rick And Morty

You’re gonna wubba-dubba-dub-love this costume idea! Want a reason to love Rick and Morty, I mean besides the fact that it’s just stone cold genius? This season they decided to implement gender parity in the writer’s room, and the show has never been better. Plus, when internet jerks decided it would be awesome to doxx those writers, creator Dan Harmon publicly smacked them down. Awesome. OK, now that you are pumped to celebrate all things Rick and Morty, here’s how to achieve the look. For Rick, you’ll need a lab coat, light blue shirt, khaki pants, a wig, and his trusty portal gun. Morty’s costume is a yellow shirt and jeans, but I
