     The three girls walked to the nearest Halloween store a few blocks away from Ariel's home. Walking in, they're greeted by an employee who's wearing a headband with a tiny witch hat on it.

They entrance was full of props, inflatables that light up, and scary animatronics. One side of the store was for Halloween decorations and party supplies, and across from that is the costumes, organized by age and gender.

"Hey look," Jess pointed at a grotesque witch statue that's in front of a couldron.

"It's Sam." She laughed and turned to face the other girls.

"That's mean." Stella crossed her arms, not pleased by her comment.

"Oh come on, I was only kidding." They walked into the costumes area and Ariel looked for a costume.

"So what are you guys planning on doing tomorrow night?" Ariel asked as she looked through the rack.

"To be completely honest, we have no idea yet. Do you have any ideas?" Stella answered behind her. Jess looked around the store and wandered off a bit.

"Have you guys visited a cemetery on Halloween? I've always wanted to do something like that."

"Actually that's not a bad idea. I like it." Stella agreed and helped Ariel finding what to wear.

Jess was in the other aisle, looking at Halloween makeup and fake blood as she spotted something move in the corner of her eye.

I can never get a break now can't I?

She looked over and saw an older man staring at her. She looked away when she got an uneasy feeling and walked to where the girls were.

"So, did you find anything yet?" Jess nervously scratches the back of her head.

"I found this." Ariel held up a skeleton costume that lights up in the dark.

"You're too basic Chili Pepper." She chuckles and motioned her to try it on.

Ariel walks into the fitting room as Stella and Jess sits down waiting for her.

"So you're really not going to do anything tomorrow?" Stella turned to ask her. Jess didn't bother to look at her, but answered.

"This year I'm definitely not feeling it." She rubs her face and turns to her. Her attention turned to Ariel who's out of the room.

"Well, what do you think?" She turns, showing off the costume.

"Cute, I love it." Stella smiled.

"I agree." Jess said as she got up and stretched.

"Alright let's go, I'm actually getting hungry."

Ariel nodded and went to change back in her regular clothes.

They both walked towards the cashier until someone catcalled one of them.

Stella and Ariel turned to see who it was, Jess formed her hands into fists.

"Hey, I don't think I've seen you around." A man walked towards Ariel with both hands in his pockets.

Jess slowly turned around and recognized him.
It's the same man from earlier.

"Don't you have a wife or some other bitch to play with?" Jess aggressively asks him as she pulls Ariel behind her.

"Jess, please. Don't do this." Stella said from behind, but Jess completely ignores her.

"Why you catcalling a girl huh? What are you? A creep? You wanna know what I do to assholes like you?" She pulls out her pocket knife and switches the silver blade.
