Secret Identity (12)

So I'm not the type of person that likes to do weird crazy things. I love to do adventurous, normal things, like for example, I have never been skiing, so that I would enjoy doing that. I don't like going up to random people asking them for scavenger hunt items though. Well anyway, one of my friends took me classic skating at the sketchy place in Orem. It "just so happened to be 80's disco night" (like I believe that it was coincidence for a minute!)
So my friend, Preston, is like, "Ok, we totally have to dress up. So do you have 80's clothes?" 
In my head I'm thinking,"NOOOOO!! I hate dressing up and I will purposely make sure I can't find 80's clothes." 
Ha, little did I know that he already knew I would respond that way. 
He shows up to my apartment about an hour later dressed normally like me, and then he says," Don't worry, I have a costume for you." 
Even worse. I have to admit, the whole drive over, I was thinking of ways that I could make an excuse to not get dressed up in whatever he had. I could say I was allergic to the fabric or I'm a germaphobe and will not wear something that someone else has worn. I was coming up with all sorts of lies to say. We pull up and he reaches in the back seat and pulls out a little package. On the outside was a picture of a power ranger, a blue power ranger. Then it hit me. The costume was a full body power ranger spandex suit. I immediately began protesting because there was NO way I would ever get in something like that. After a few minutes of coaxing, Preston handed my the suit, told me to go try it on in the bathroom and to text him a "y" if I was going to wear it or an "n" if I wasn't going to. He was going to wear it regardless though. I consent to do just that much. I start putting on the slick spandex and realize that the spandex goes over your head and covers everything completely. It was then I realized that no one would know who I was for the next two hours. I could do whatever I wanted. I considered it for a moment and before I knew it, I sent a "y" in a text to Preston. 
We both walked out of the restrooms in these bright full on body power ranger suits. We were immediately swarmed by fans and little kids that wanted their picture taken with us. I felt like a celebrity! We started skating and I could continually hear people talking about the "two blue power rangers." I could look as goofy as I wanted to and dance any way I wanted to! In fact at one point, I was going too fast and I was coming up on a couple that was holding hands. Well, I came full speed between them and said," Good evening friends." I could hear them as I skated away say," Whoa! We got to talk to the blue power ranger!" Now normally, if I would have run into someone, they would have been annoyed, but because the blue power ranger did it, it was cool. I felt so free the whole night, even though I had tons of people watching me. The coolest feeling was changing in the bathroom and walking out in my normal clothes, my suit in my bag. I had a secret identity the whole night and no one knew who I was and never will.
