We woo. I'm going to carve some pumpkins today. Fun, right? 8D
Still writing the fourth chapter of the fic. I'll upload the third one tomorrow and then probably the fourth one on Monday.
(I watched the episode 'A Pyramiding Rage!' today. Got to say. One of my favorite Sinnoh episodes so far. I can't help but start to like Paul's character more and more.)
ALSO. If you like my fic at all, you should check out the (Contestshipping) Halloween fic; 'Spirited Away'. I highly recommend it. c:
Saturday, October 17th. (Countdown: Two weeks.)
The number on the alarm clock moved to 8:00am and started to ring letting the residents in the current room know it was time to get up. "Uggg.." A bundle hidden under a blanket groaned. She peeked her head out to glance at the clock and sighed. Her best friend Dawn insisted they had to wake up early to go shopping for a costume. May wasn't surprised to see that even with the constant ringing sound, she still lay sound asleep on the air mattress.
Fully sitting up, the girl in the bed threw her extra pillow at her still sleeping friend. Just as routine, the blue haired girl sat up glaring at the amused girl. "Maaay! It's still early." Huffing, Dawn regrettably got up. May didn't even bother to retort the fact that Dawn was the one that set the alarm clock. Instead she just said, "Get ready. We still need to pick out our costumes.". Before May could even toss her own covers aside Dawn was standing up with her extra clothes in her hand running into the connected bathroom.
May just blinked. "..So much for guests being courteous.."
Fifteen minutes passed until Dawn finally came out of the bathroom. By this time May had already dressed herself and had her hair combed out. May had slipped on black leggings, a long long sleeved orange shirt, black vest, and yellow flats. Her hair was combed out so it went a bit past her shoulders and held a bit of it back on each side with candy-corn hair-clips.
"Festive." Dawn nodded in approval. Dawn still ran a brush through her hair fretting over a couple pieces out of place. Once she was sure those stubborn strands of hair wouldn't give her any more problems, she set the brush next to the rest of her belongings and did a pose for May. The first thing she noticed was that Dawn's outfit was also festive for the season. Dawn's hair was left completely down except a black headband to keep the hair out of her eyes, and a skull bracelet moved restlessly against her wrist. She wore a plain white shirt, a black lace shirt on top that gave the effect of spiderwebs, and a pink scarf wrapped around her neck. Moving further down, there was a short black skirt (that still managed to remain modest), black knee high stockings, and pink boots.
May smiled widely. "You look great Dawn, should we go?" Dawn silently agreed with a nod of her head and they headed out of the house after a quick goodbye to her parents. As they walked to the nearest mall, which was eight blocks away, May thought of a few of their yearly traditions.
Every October they would find a way to incorporate Halloween colors, patters, designs into their outfits. Whatever they could really. Sleepovers were frequent with them already, but they found ones this time of the year more fun. They would listen to Halloween music, Halloween shopping, decorating their houses, and their favorite.. their scary movie marathon every Friday of the month.
Today was Saturday, meaning they had one of those movie nights last night. They got to watch the first two movies of the SAW series. (They had planned on watching more movies. But they were first delayed at the movie rental store, and then when Paul and Drew had thought it would be fun to scare them out of their skin.) The girls weren't that fond of gore really, but they found it was all in the spirit of the month. Plus they tend to save the best for last, like the Halloween series.
Halloween was just two weeks away and neither girls knew what they wanted to dress up as. Dawn claimed that they would know as soon as they saw it, like it was fate. Having only 'fate' to go on, both girls finally arrived at the mall. The mall was a modest size, but held enough stores with such a variety that you were sure to find anything you needed here. The girls headed towards the center of the mall, which is where the Halloween store was set up every October.
"How about this one?" The girls had been searching in the costume section of the store for about fifteen minutes now and neither had had much luck. Dawn stepped out of the small dressing room in a brown tank top, puffy yellow skirt, yellow knee high boots, and a headband with brown ears with yellow fluff balls on the tips. May thought the costume itself was adorable, but..
"Dawn, turn around." Dawn shot her friend a questioning look but did as she was told. May shook her head. "Dawn, that skirt is too short." Dawn gasped and quickly ran in front of a mirror in the dressing room. Turning around trying to look at the back of the costume she suddenly found this hopeless. Letting out a defeated sigh she closed the door and began to change out of the costume. Dawn stepped out and hung the costume back on the rack she found it on and both girls left the store empty handed. "Just great. Looks like we're going to have to dress up as ourselves for Halloween!"
"Ooh, scary!" A taunting voice called from behind the girls. Both girls turned around at the sudden intrusion of their conversation. The girls found themselves staring into the eyes of two people they didn't plan on seeing today. "Oh piss off Drew." Drew feigned hurt and spoke with distaste and mockery in his voice. "Now now May! Is that anyway for a young lady to be speaking?" May just turned around crossing her arms, still angry about the night prior.
Dawn was amused by their usual antics and turned to Paul. "What are you guys doing here? Planning to buy a costume?" Paul just scoffed as if even suggesting they were shopping for a costume was a insult. "Why would we need a costume? Only children go to people's doors begging for candy." The blue haired girl's smile suddenly fell and she was now the one who looked insulted. "Wha- What was that?!" May was quick to grab onto Dawn from behind to stop her friend from pouncing on the now silently laughing boy.
"Come on Dawn. Just forget it, they're not worth it." With that said, both girls walked away trying to decide how to spend the rest of their day. Both of the boys smirked at the backs of their favorite victims as they entered the same Halloween store the girls had just come out of. Paul was quick to look at the masks and fake weapons, and Drew headed for the fake blood and sound effect tools. If all went well they would find something that they could never hope to top.
Ohai, sneaky boys. ;D
Yus. Reviews would be great, letting me know if you like it. (And as always, pointing out any spelling errors or mistakes if you see them.)
Though I have alot of the story planned out, feel free to suggest something if you want to see it in the story. Maybe suggest an idea for what the boys are planning, what you want to see them dress up as, ect. I'll see what I can do. 8D
