Parrot And Girl

Chapter 11

We all know October is the month of the Fall when the leaves change colour from bright green to brown, red and orange, then they fall of trees. People step out of hot clothes from spending the summer in beaches to clothes that are little warmer in colds and rain. Let's not forget the exciting . time of the year when children, teenagers and adults come out in costumes for Halloween either go for trick-o-treat or their friends partying. Yes that's, right Halloween is coming up. Sarah decided to have me go shopping to a costume shop which is just in the next street where I can find something comfortable. Something both comfortably
and creepy to make people jump out of their skins.

Ace and Donny have a break from school, after all the homework and stress ,for one week so that means they get to tag along. They decided to come along because they need to find a Halloween costume too. I'm glad they could come too, I feel like since James died, the family and Chico had been there to make me feel better. They refuse to let me suffer and instead want to bring in the fun for all three of us.

I grabbed my coat and found the Reynolds brothers already by the door waiting for me. Sarah was still upstairs getting her handbag, with money she wants to pay for our costumes. At first I told her she didn't need to and when she said being in a family meant we share everything.

Once she came down, we left the house and decided to walk the shop on foot because it takes three minutes to get there. When we reached the shop, the place was stacked with all sorts of costumes, shoes, fancy dresses, accessories you name it. We decided to split up and look around to see anything we liked.

There wasn't anything that interested me and so far so I ended up getting board from looking at witches to zombies to Frankenstein's head. They were too common to wear and I wanted something different. Ace came around holding a costume in front of me, It was a werewolf head costume with sharp razor eyes and scary looking fangs.

"Should I wear this one?" He asks me, "I felt like trying it on."

"Will it fit?" I ask him, "give it a try and don't get stuck."

"OK I'll try....", his face began to look pale when his eyes went over my shoulder and when I turned around, I jumped out of fright when I saw a scary face painted all green, with red crocodile eyes and mouth with sharp teeth. I was so scared, that I almost backed against Ace who winced. The torture was over when the mask was revealed.

It was Donny grinning with mischief.

"Whoa, t-that was q-quiet s-scary."I whisper to him and then we all burst out laughing.

"You should, have seen the look on your face." Ace says to me while chickling, holding onto my shoulder, "I can't believe it, you looked like you saw a stranger or a ghost that's going to eat you."

"Ha ha very funny." I say elbowing him in the ribs, "Sometimes you two can be EVIL."I say to them evilly, "but you should wear that."

"Well, what about you?" He eyed me, "Didn't you find anything?"

"Not at all." Then we walk around, both boys trying to help me for something until something from the corner of my eye catches my attention, it was a costume of a white lion, white pants with a tail and top with claw gloves, the head band with the ears and mane and boots that looks like lion paws.

"How about that one?" I point to the costume. They both glance at each other and then shrugged.

"Try it on!" Ace excitedly says to me. I picked the costume and look for a changing room to try the costume on. Once I found one, I stepped in and locked the door behind me, I took my clothes off and put myself into the white lion costume and step back out. When the brothers caught sight of me their mouths were hanging open in a big O shape and Ace was about to drool which made me giggle at his reaction.
