2. The Costume

Harley Quinn's P.O.V.

It's been at least 15 minutes and Ivy still isn't here. I felt pain coming from my arm. I pulled down the red sided arm of the jester costume to see if there was any marks. It was just a little pink, probably will become a bruised. Nothing bad.
I looked up into the sky, the sun was setting. She better be here quick. The clouds looked like huge pieces of cotton that I could brush my hands across.
I wish I had powers, like ivy, but mine would be so much better. I would be able to fly across the sky as long as I wanted without getting tired. I would spawn whatever kind of food I wanted whenever I want. I giggled thinking about it.
*Vrrrooommm* I jumped up on my feet. "RED!" I really hope it was her, cause I've been waiting what felt like forever. I squinted at the car, it was black convertible. Yup, that's her. I ran as fast as I could to the jet black car. When I saw her sitting in the front seat I bounced with joy.
"Someone's excited to see me" She said while opening the passenger door.
"Yeah no kiddin, what took you so long?" Her car was so warm it felt like a sauna compared to the outside.
"Sorry I-" She studied me closely with eyes widening bigger and bigger. Why was she look- oh yeah, my costume. Great.
"Harley! What happened to you!" She sounded so dang worried.
    "It's nothing Ivy. Like I said, he just kicked me out" Literally.
     "Harl, your costume, it's all beat up. Please tell me what happened to you." It's nothing, but she will make it into something huge if I tell her. I want to tell her without getting all crazy worried about it. No, I don't want to tell her. She will probably get super angry at me. She always does.
I look at her long orange hair, gosh her hair is so beautiful. I look at my big blonde hair in the car window. Mine is in pigtails, it's so frizzy and ugly.
    "Hello? Harley, please." Oh I forgot to respond to her. Maybe she won't get mad, maybe just this once.
    "Um, I just wanted to t-touch his hair. It was just so gorgeous" It was. Oh if only he would let me curl my fingers around his hair for longer than a second. I started to grin at the thought of it.
    "Harley?! Anything else?" Oops.
    "Yeah, so I started playing with his hair. He didn't like that so he just slapped me down to the floor, but it's fine Ivy I don't have any marks anyways." That was a lie. Ivy saw me at my worse so why was she so worried about me this time?
She pulled up one of my pant legs, there was a cut with dry blood on it. It didn't hurt though.
"Tell me the rest Harley and stop the bull crap." I guess I shouldn't have lied.
"He kicked me ta da door and told me ta get out, so then he threw me out. But he said if I leave him in peace and quiet to finish his plans with that stupid Bat then he would be able to spend more time with me." I placed a grin on my face. She gave me a worried face and frowned.
"Why ya look so worried? It's nothin, Red!"
     "Harl, I'm worried about you because the Joker will do whatever he can to hurt you. If you stay with him this is going to get worse and worse!" Why won't she just shut up already! She doesn't know him like I do! His way of showing his love is through violence, he doesn't know any other way.
"You don't understand Pam! He loves me!"
"Harley, I don't want to lose you. I don't want him to hurt you." She doesn't care about me, she just hates Mista J. If she cared about me she would let me love him.
"Harley, he's just using you." My face turned bright red with anger and I looked her straight in the face.
"Shut up Ivy! Just because you hate every person you see doesn't mean I can't love anyone! You're so controlling and you don't care about me anyways!" I could feel a tear swelling up in my eye. I can't cry in front of her right now, I need to look tough.
     I don't think I should of said that to her but she was making me so angry, and she was wrong.
    "Harley, just listen to me. The Joker never has loved anyone, he just uses people. He is twisted and doesn't care about anything or anyone except for himself." She's lying, she's just trying to get to my head and it's not working.
     I fold my arms and place my head against the car window. The coldness of the window shivers down my body. I don't want to talk about this anymore I just wanted to go shopping and have some fun.
    "Red, can we just drop this. I wanted you to come here so we could have some fun. Not to argue the whole time." I took my head off the window and unfolded my arms. I started playing with her fingers and looked up at her emerald green eyes.
    "Please" she was still blankly staring at the wheel. Why won't she say anything? She then looked down at me and rubbed her eyes.
"Yeah, Harley. Sorry." She stared at me in the eyes this time, I think that's the first time she actually looked at me in the eyes today.
"Where do you want to go?" She said while placing both hands on the wheel.
"The Halloween store close to your house." I said with excitement, I'm happy we aren't arguing anymore.
"Okay, lets go." She smiled at me and started backing out of the parking spot.
Her car made a big noise and she started driving away. I just realized it's night already, I checked my phone to see what time it is. 8:43. Wow already?
*beep beep* Dang, my phones dying. I shut the screen of my phone and placed it in a cup holder. I put my head back on the window and started to drift off.
"Harley! Harley!" I woke up to Ivy shaking my shoulders. Every time she shook me my head would bang against the window. It kinda hurt but it woke me up.
"I'm up, I'm up!"
"Good! You just wouldn't wake up." She said with a little giggle. Her laugh is so cute. Wait was I really that hard to get up? I didn't even feel tired, I just fell asleep.
"Well ya coulda woke me up less violently." I let out a chuckle. Ew, I hated my laugh.
"Come on we're here." I got out of the car and let out a big yawn. Why do people yawn? It's so strange.
"This is the place you were talking about, right?"
"Yeah don't ya remember, red? You and me went here ta get.. what did we get again?" I couldn't think straight, was I tired? Cause I sure didn't feel like it.
