Chronicles of Lucy and Caspian [ENG]

Halloween

Lucy rushed through her homework as soon as she had gotten home. Her friend Alice was throwing a Halloween Party and she couldn't be more excited. Their group of friends had decided to go as Disney characters, seeing as that's what they had bonded over in daycare and caused them to become friends.

Lucy finished her final sentence on her essay and almost yelped with joy. Halloween was her favorite holiday. It reminded her of when her siblings and her would play make believe, and what fond memories she had of being Queen.

Lucy brushed out her auburn hair, letting it fall down in waves. She was Ariel, due only to her hair- which was fine by her. She wasn't going to point out the message it sent to young girls- that you should give up everything and change your body for a man you had known for a day and half- and just enjoy the party. Her friend Alice was…Alice, obviously. They had various other characters, not all princesses and not all dressing up as the "correct gender" (Lucy loved her friends).

She put on her purple shirt- her friends had tried to get her to wear a purple sports bra; they had managed to agree on a crop top which felt way too short for Lucy- and her teal leggings. She had pinned a ruffle that to them that covered her shoes and made her actually resemble a mermaid. She added finishing touches- like her starfish necklace Peter had given her when he went to Mexico a few years ago- and a touch of makeup.

She headed over to Alice's to help her set up for the party. Alice greeted her, wearing a blue dress and holding a stuffed animal rabbit. "Lucy! You look fantastic!" Lucy hugged her, "You too."

The two friends chatted as they set up, "Apparently," Alice said with a sly smile, "Helena's brother is in town, she asked me if he could come to the party."

"What'd you say?"

"The more the merrier!" Alice shrugged, "I hope he's cute."

....

Three hours later, the party was in full swing. Lucy was currently dancing with her friend Kesli, who was dressed as Beast from Beauty and the Beast. She turned to get a glass of punch and walked right into someone. "Sorry!" She said as she scrambled back.

"It's alright," a velvet voice spoke, "It must be hard to walk with a tail." Lucy looked at the man she had run into and figured out it had to be Helena's brother- they had the same exact eyes and tone of skin, shared from their mother's Hispanic heritage. He is cute. He was dressed in a suit, Lucy guessed he was James Bond or someone to that affect.

"Clever." Lucy laughed, "And yes, it's very had to walk with this tail."

"Can I help you in some way?" He offered with a smile.

"No, I was just going to get some punch and sit down."

"Please." He held up his hand to keep her from walking past, "Sit down, I'll be happy to get you some punch."

"Why thank you…."

"Caspian." He answered her trailed off question. "Lucy." She smiled and stuck out her hand; when he took it, she felt a warm shock go through her arm, and then her whole body. From the look on his face, he had felt something similar.

And what happened next, Lucy blamed on the ghosts that were surely about on this creepiest of nights…she had to thank them later.

He boldly pulled her forward until she could felt his breath on her face. Minty. His hands slid away from hers, up her arms and clasped her neck. She leant into his touch, her hands pressed on his upper chest. Then they were kissing. Like, really kissing.

He pulled away, "Sorry, I don't know why I-"

"Shhhhhh…" Was all Lucy said as she gripped his tie to pull back to her again. With her apparent permission, Caspian resumed kissing her.

Yeah, Halloween was defiantly Lucy's favorite holiday.
