"No way! You can be Chat Noir," Sarah argued back, "Why do I have to be the boy every year? It's your turn!"

It was true, for the most part. Our typical joint-Halloween costumes usually had a guy in there, and I never wanted to be the guy. Sarah and I were both girls, but I didn't exactly enjoy the idea of playing a dude. 

All I could say was ew. 

"Simple answer: I already chose Ladybug," I declared

Was it a stupid argument? Yes.

Was I going to lose this stupid argument? Heck no. 

Usually whenever we argued over something at home, that thing would be given to the first sister who claimed it. At least that's how our parents handled our disagreements, so technically my argument had some weight to it.

"I'm not going to do it," Sarah told me, "Good luck finding a Chat Noir."

Why did she even want to be Ladybug? She loved Chat Noir way more, so what was this even about? I assumed she wanted control in her life, so being the character I already claimed rightfully would give her some kind of control.

There was no way she was getting it just because she wanted control. 

I supposed there was only one fair way to decide.
