Chapter 5: The Dress
"Congratulations Johnny, you got yourself a date tonight," said Scarecrow. "And not just with any woman...a witch!"
"I'm really nervous. I mean, it's my first one."
"Oh, don't worry, Johnny. First dates are always the hardest," said Scarecrow.

Meanwhile, Carmen was in her walk-in closet. "So, which dress will dazzle him? Nothing too dressy." She then came across a beautiful blue and black Victorian-style dress. "This, will be perfect." She took the dress and held it close to her body. Walking over to the full-sized, gilded mirror, she said, "oh yes. This will dazzle him for sure." She spun around in her bath robe. She snapped her fingers and the dress appeared on her body. "Dr. Crane, you will be mine." She went over to her glass jewelry case. "So, no necklaces with enchantments, right Sable?" She smiled as Sable walked in. She knew that cats had the ability for picking out jewelry, so she picked him up. "So, which one will look good on mama?" she said, as Sable climbed on the case. He came to a black necklace with lace trim. "Good choice," she said, petting Sable. She was rewarded with a loud purr. She opened the case and took out the necklace. She put it on.
Before she could finish, the door bell rang. "It's open!" she yelled toward the door.
"It's Crane!" he yelled back.
"Ok, I will be right there; just take a seat!" She grabbed her black lipstick and applied it. She walked out to him. "I'm ready, Doctor," she said, seductively.
"Wow, you look great," Jonathan said.
"I hope it isn't too muchk" said Carmen.
"Of course it is, but in a good way. Shall we go?"
"Of course," she said, taking his hand as he lead her out to his car.
