HarleyQuinns P.O.V.
After a dark, long, silent car ride we arrived back at the Halloween shop. We walked in once again and this time only a couple of people were here. I skipped over to the register with excitement, we worked hard for this costume it better be ready.
"Eh- Eham" I coughed out so the cashier would notice us. She finally looked up from her computer and went back into the dark room.
"This, right?" She asked, holding up my new jester outfit.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" I yelled out to her. Yay I'm so excited, all of this work for this piece of clothing.
"Gim me, gim me, gim me." I ordered the lady as I threw my arms out for it. Ugh, I want it, why won't she just give me it already.
"Money first." She said slowly. She lowered her glasses and glared at Red.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, I got the cash." Red stated as she dug into her purse violently. She pulled out some cash and slapped it on the table.
The girl started counting the cash as I stepped over by Ivy and smirked. She held her head tight and was squeezing her eyes together in pain.
"Hey? You okay, Red?" I placed my hand gently on her arm.
"Yeah, yeah. Just a little headache." She told me, then rubbed her face and opened her eyes.
"Well this is only 713 in cash. Do you have-".
"You sure, Ivy?" I interrupted. I was still staring at Ivy, ignoring the cashier. She doesn't look so well. Her skin was more of a lighter green now, almost white.
"Yeah, sorry. I think I might be getting sick, it's nothing to worry about." Ivy explained.
"Um. Well back to what I was saying. You need 12 more dollars." She scolded angrily.
"Oh yeah, here." Red responded as she went back into her purse and pulled out a 20.
"Thank you." The cashier snarled and snatched the money out of Ivy's hands.
I stared at Ivy then rolled my eyes as she did then same. That cashier was a Bit- bitter, bitter human being. I shook Ivy's arm so she could look at me then I pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I giggled and she brushed her fingers through my fuzzy pigtails.
"Excuse me." That annoying cashier hissed. I turned to her, snatched the outfit, gave a little eye rolled and stormed out.
"Let's go home." I smiled at her, she smiled back.
"For sure." She gave a small yawn and jumped into the car.
I stared at myself in the car window wondering if Mistah J would love me more if I looked a bit prettier. Ivy shook me and yawned again.
"My place or back with him." She said the word him with disgust, of course.
"His place. Sorry Ivy but I need to apologize for what I've done." I explained to her. She sighed and placed her hand over her entire face.
"You did nothing, though. That's the problem, you don't do anything to deserve this, but that monster acts like you killed his parents or something." She lectured. I did do something wrong though. She doesn't understand I am stupid and don't listen to him so I get punished.
"Yes, yes I did do something wrong, Red. I always do. I always do." I said starring blankly at her hair.
"Harley, I know you didn't do anything. Don't blame yourself for the wrongs that he did." She stroked my head and I gently placed my head into her arms.
"Thanks Red. But I still need ta go back." I want to stay with her, but I know it's the right thing to go back with him.
She nodded then kissed the top of my head and drove to the office. I picked the bag with the bagel in it and placed it on my lap.
"Do you think he'll like my gift?" I giggled and nudged her arm.
"Sure Harley." She shook her head and laughed a little. I could see it, she wasn't hiding it.
We made it back to the office, I hopped out of the car and waved goodbye. Yay, time to go try on my outfit. Something felt wrong though, maybe I shouldn't try it on right now. I put it back into the bag.
I made my way upstairs, I can't wait to see my precious puddin. I just realized that I haven't seen my babies since this morning, well I'll see them after I see puddin. Dang it, I forgot my bagel for him. I'll get that tomorrow I guess. I slammed open the door.
"Guess who's home, puddin." I howled. Oh I bet he can't wait to see me.
"Where have you been you idiot?" He screamed.
"U-um I-I'm sorry I just went to go shopping with w-"
"You went shopping?!" He yelled over me.
"Do you not understand that we're being hunted down?! We're all over the news, now they know where we are, you fool!" Oh no oh no oh no. What have I done? I'm so dumb, dumb, dumb! Why did I do this?
"Oh puddin. I'm sorry I f-forgot." I was backing into the door.
"You. You are gonna pay for this. You little-" he shouted. No not today please, I don't want it to be bad.
He pulled out his blade, it shined as he spun it around in his purple gloved hands. He came a little closer as I backed away a little further.
"I swear I didn't-" I was interrupted by a punch in the nose. I shrieked with pain as I fell to the floor covering my bloody nose.
"Get up Harley. I'm not finished yet." He pulled me up and slammed me against the door.
"Don't you think it's time for Mr. Blade?" He now took his knife and pressed it against my cheek. He was laughing so hard I'm surprised he can breath. I felt it's coldness shiver from my cheek to my upper lip. I closed my eyes, waiting for the knife to slice me.

Poison Ivy's P.O.V.
Maybe I should go check on Harls. You never know, the costume might be too small. What if she needs help getting it on? Maybe the Joker doesn't like it and ruins it again. Oh, I'm just paranoid.
I start to back out of the parking spot, wait, her bagel. She forgot her bagel, I was just looking for something to make me go back inside to check on her. I parked back into the spot, grabbed the bagel and slammed the door behind me.
I opened the bathroom door on the first level. "Harley? You in here?" Nothing. Dang it, she's probably up with that psychopath.
I ran up the stairs until I got to the top floor. I heard a quiet scream from his office, Harley. I crash the door open, the Joker is standing in front of bloody Harls with a blade pressing to her arm. He already sliced her on her cheek.
My plants start to grow like crazy, what has he done? He wi- he will pay!
"Leave her alone." I demanded.
"Oh, Ivy, Ivy, Ivy. You got it all wrong. She's just auditioning for my next play. Oh are you auditioning too? Cause you would make a great tree." He starts laughing maniacally. I hate when people make jokes about my plants, but I'm used to that stupid Joker calling my babies names.
"You have done this too long, me-" I was cut off by a window shatter. I jumped and got my babies ready for attack, I squinted. It was Batman, I've never been so happy to see him. The Joker was still laughing uncontrollably at his stupid joke.
"How did you find us?" I ask, ignoring the Joker as he starts calling me and Batman other names.
"Some people called in and said they saw Harley at the Halloween store." He responded with his signature deep voice.
"When did you start tracking us down?" I question, as he brings the Joker into cuffs.
"After you were leaving, why?" He looked at Harley, oh please don't take her too.
"Just wondering." At least we didn't get caught for the robbery. I glanced over at Harley then the Joker, I slowly walked over to her and cradled her. Poor Harley.
"You're sick." I screamed to the Joker. Bats jumped out of the window with the Joker still laughing.
"Come on Harley. Let's go home." I muttered to her.
"Thank you, Ivy." She looked up at me and smiled. I'm happy I got here before he did anymore damage, well I'm happy that Batman was here to get that freak out of here.
     We got to my place and I set Harley on the couch, she was sound asleep. I sat on the couch next to her and caressed her messy blonde hair gently. Her nose might be broken, she has a slash on her cheek, and a couple of bruises that were visible but nothing bad.
     "Ivy?" She gradually opened her eyes and looked up at me.
     "I'm here, Harls." I whispered to her. She got up and gave me bear hug then fell back into the couch.
      "I was scared, Red. If you and Bats weren't there I would've been-" She gave me a worried look then she felt her cheek that have been cut.
      "Don't think like that. You're safe and that's all that matters." I murmured. She closes her eyes once again.
      "Do you want anything?" I asked, walking into the kitchen.
     "You got some ice cream?" Harley sat up and asked.
     "Yeah, Chocolate Mint, vanilla or chocolate? That's all I got." She spun up, walked over to me, and giggled.
     "Chocolate Mint!" She chirped.
     "Comin right up." I poked her nose and she poked mine back. She's my other half, I won't let her go.
