Octavia runs down the stairs excited to show off her costume, as she runs jumps the last step rounding the corner she bumps into Nicholas.
"What are you suppose to be?" he asks eyeing her body up and down. She wears a black dress that reaches just below her knee, a cloak over her the hood on her head, her make-up skeletal and realistic while she wears black tights and velvet black wedges holding a plastic hoe.
"Grim Reaper of course, and you're Jack Sparrow" she smiles giving a small twirl.
"Wow, is the dark knight really here to take my soul away?" Christian jokes. He's dressed as the guy in Phantom Of The Opera, his hair nicely combed aside, the half mask on his face and the suit hugging his muscles.
"You clean up nice" Princess Octavia giggles causing the the slightest bit of anger boiling in Nicholas's veins "you too" she smiles then walks off to the limousine. It's tradition that every Halloween every royals around the world dress up and do a small march in their chosen costumes. They all slide into the sleek car talking and laughing. Once reaching their stop they get out plastering a smile, people that had the chance are behind the barricades shouting out their names and taking pictures.
Princess Octavia saw a little girl dressed as an American Indian. She walks up to her the others beside the little girl calling out for her.
"Hey there, what's your name?" she smiles.
"I'm Anastasia" the girl grins.
"Well I love your costume."
"Thank you" Anastasia smiles.
"Is it okay if we take a picture?" Octavia looks at the mother.
"Of course Princess Octavia" the mother of the little girl accepted it as quick as lightning. The two stand next to each other smiling widely "thank you so much" the mother thanks enthusiastically.
"It's fine" she says her last goodbye before catching up with the two brothers "ready to choose" she asks as she waves.
"Of course, lead the way dark knight" Christian smirks and Octavia does going towards the stage.
"Welcome back to another competition" Octavia smiles with cheers and whoops from the sea of crowd "We will now choose our Best Dressed of the year" the sea of crowd stands in a line with numbers on the front of their costume pasted onto them. "I choose number forty five" the women dressed in an Egyptian goddess.
"Number 79" Nicholas calls out, a little boy dressed as Romeo comes up.
"Come up number one hundred and one" a little girl dressed as Juliet walks onto stage.
"Congratulations, you three are winners of this year Best Dressed" all three says and soon everyone cheers.
"Looks like we got our Romeo and Juliet, but who'll be our King and Queen" Christian whispers to Octavia...
