Alice: (modeling a blue pixie Halloween costume for Bella in some dressing room somewhere) What do you think of this one? Too short?

Bella: (groaning) Aliccce! Do I really have to be here? You already know which one I'll like!

Alice: (gracefully stepping behind a curtain and reappearing instantly in a different costume) Oh, come on Bella! Don't be a baby! This is an essential part of being human!

Bella: Not all humans go trick-or-treating. I haven't been in years. Plus, we're too old.

Alice: You're never too old! I never remember going and this is the first time I can force someone to come with me. (gesturing to furry black cat ensemble) What about this one?

Bella: (shrugging at the costume) But I don't want to. (pouts)

Alice: Bella, you will come trick-or-treating with me and – (stares off blankly)

Bella: (walks up beside Alice) Alice? What do you see? Alice?

Alice: (confused and worried, focuses on Bella) Hmm. We should go.

Bella: (slightly concerned but more happy) Why? What's wrong?

Alice: (gathering costumes) I'm not sure why, but I see Jasper screaming and running away from me yelling 'La la la la la' with his hands over his ears.

Bella: (elated to be leaving) Okay! I guess you'll have to find a costume some other time without me.

Alice: (walking to register) Oh, no! I'll buy all of these (nods to dangerously tall stack of outfits) then decide which is the best one!

Bella: (sighs) Alright.

Bella: (setting down the few bags she had been holding in the doorway) Edward? We're back!

Alice: (sauntering in behind Bella carrying so many bags that you could barely see her) Bella, I'll put these in my room so we can decide which ones we want later.

Edward: (suddenly appearing by Bella's side) Bella! (hugs her and looks at Alice with amusement)

Bella: What?

Edward: Nothing...

Alice: (racing up the stairs then appearing back in the foyer without any bags) Jasper?

Jasper: (sitting on the couch watching TV) Yes?

Alice: Would you like to help me decide what costume to wear tomorrow for Halloween? I could really use your opinion.

Jasper: (leaps fearfully from the couch to stand with his back pressed against the wall of windows, as far away from Alice as possible) No! No, no, no...

Alice: (wounded) All I want is your opinion-

Jasper: (jumps out the window, smashing it, with his hands over his ears screaming 'la la la la la')

Alice: (looks bewildered and silently asks Edward something)

Edward: Allodoxaphobia.

Bella: Huh?

Edward: Fear of opinions.

Well, in my opinion this one is better than the other... but I could be wrong. So, hopefully I'll find some new crazy phobias to write about. Any suggestions? R&R please!!
