"How about this one?" I asked picking up a Princess costume.
"Mom, I'm fifteen not eight." Joy snapped. "Anyway I was thinking about vampires."
"WHAT!!!" I screamed and then lowered my voice. "What about vampires."
"Duh, my Halloween costume. Goth is so in right now with Twilight and Vampire Diaries." Joy rolled her eyes.
"Oh of course," I started breathing normally again. "Well if that's what you want." I left Joy to pick out her costume and went over to the toddler section to get James the cutest pumpkin costume.

"A vampire" I told Willow, "My own daughter wants to be a vampire."
"Well Spike was." Willow reminded me, "Besides costumes don't really mean anything unless you get them from Ethan."
"How would you feel if Alice wanted to be a witch?"
"Actually she is, she found one of Tara's old amulets and decided that is was cool."
"Oh Will, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, it was actually nice to remember her and I know she'd have loved Alice dressing up like her."
"I'll just be glad when Halloween is over."
"What's the worst that could happen? Willow asked before her eyes widened and she covered her mouth. "I really just jinxed us didn't I?"
