"Hey, Jerome, hey, Mara," Poppy smiled, trotting up next to them as they crossed the yard to Anubis House.

"Good afternoon, Poppy," Mara replied.

"Poops," Jerome said simply, receiving a slap on the arm from Mara.

"Can one of you take me to find a Halloween costume?"

"Sure, Poppy; we can go after we change our clothes, if you'd like." Mara suggested.

"Alright, I'll wait out here, thank you!"

Mara took Jerome's hand and pulled him into the house before he object.

"Jerome, if we don't go with her, she might pick a costume that is too revealing." Mara explained. "I don't think you want that."

Jerome shook his head and crossed his arm, not moving an inch. After a second he bolted down the hall to change out of his uniform. Mara nodded knowingly and went upstairs to change as well. They left the house, pulling Poppy to a cab Jerome had called and hopped in.

"Seatbelt," Jerome ordered, looking sternly at Poppy.

"I know," she rolled her eyes.

When they arrived at the Halloween store Poppy immediately dragged the two into the racks of costumes. Jerome would hold up several costumes Poppy labeled as 'too childish' while Mara shuffled through all of them over and over again, waiting for Poppy to ask her opinion.

"What about this one?" Poppy asked happily, holding it up for Mara to see.

Jerome peeked over his girlfriend's shoulder at the picture of the teenage girl in the short, tight blue dress with an axe in her hand. "Sassy Chucky," he let out a deep chuckle. "No."

Poppy turned to Mara and smiled at her.

"I'm sorry, Poppy; I'm going to have to agree with Jerome on this one, it's too short and a little too revealing."

Poppy huffed and strode off to find a new costume.

"What about this?" the younger Clarke asked ten minutes later.

"Are you bloody kidding me?" Jerome exclaimed, causing a few costumers to turn to him. He ignored their glares and pointed to the picture of the tall girl in the short black and red dress. "Vixen Vamp—no."

Poppy scowled and stalked off.

"We're in the wrong section. This is the teens and adults section, we need to find the kids costumes."

"Jerome, Poppy doesn't fit in any of the children costumes." Mara told him. "We'll find something that she'll look cute in, that's not too revealing and isn't for kids."

Every costume Poppy had brought up to her brother, Jerome had a comment. Too short, too tight, too cute, Mick 'the Meathead' Campbell would look better in that than you would.

"Jerome, look at this one, can you find anything wrong with this?" Mara asked after Poppy ran off again for the umpteenth time.

Jerome stared at the black and purple witch dress that came just above the tween girl's knees, her legs covered by leggings. "No, its fine; the length, the neckline, the title, the hat, the legging part of the costume—they're all great."

"Poppy," Mara called.

"Yes?" the girl asked tiredly, trudging over to her.

"How about this one, Jerome approves,"

Poppy stared at it a moment and smiled at Mara gratefully. "Thank you,"

Mara nodded.

"Alright, Pops, go play. Mara," Jerome threw an arm around his girlfriend's shoulders. "Let's go find you a costume. The seventh costume Poops brought out would look very nice on you."

Jerome grinned impishly as Mara gazed up with a expression of horror. "That was a sexy nurse outfit."

"I know that," Jerome winked, holding it up.

Mara's cheeks flamed as she stared at the costume.
