A mini-series of [reader-insert] drabbles/ficlets of the Naruto babies being shown various Halloween traditions. Part 11. For ShadowVixxen's All Hallows Eve contest.
"Well, what do you want to be for Halloween this year, girls?"
A chorus of shouts rings out, the many conflicting – and loud – ideas assaulting Reina's ears. She'd been double-booked tonight by the desperate parents of two little girls. And she had even been offered a bonus if she could get the costumes made. But the main problem at this point is that the two little… darlings… can't decide on costumes because they're too busy competing, each trying to outdo the other.
"An angel!"
"A devil!"
"A witch!"
"A vampire!"
"A princess!"
"A vampire princess!"
"An angel princess who does spooky magic!"
"A fairy!"
"A–!"
"Okay, enough!" Reina's endless patience has finally met its match. "Now we have lots of ideas. How about you girls pick from the list, hm?"
"I wanna be a fairy!"
"No, you can't be the fairy! I want to be the fairy!"
"But I called it first!"
"But it was my idea!"
"Yeah, well you–!"
"Enough, girls!" Reina resist the urge to pinch the bridge of her nose. "Sakura, you're right. A fairy was your idea. But it doesn't mean Ino can't use it. So if you both want to be fairies, then why don't you be different types of fairies?"
The two girls look at each other before looking back at their babysitter.
"Can different types of fairies be sisters?"
"Of course! Don't you girls remember watching Tinkerbell and the Secret of Wings?" Reina smiles. "Tinkerbell is a summer tinker-talent fairy, and her sister Periwinkle is a winter frost-talent fairy."
"Oh yeah!" The girls chatter excitedly with each other again.
"I want to be a princess fairy!"
"I want to be a queen fairy!"
"But that's copying me!"
"Fine, I want to be a princess fairy with secret powers!"
"I want to fly!"
"Duh, we're fairies! We can both fly!"
"Oh yeah!"
Reina sits back and shakes her head, watching the blonde and the pinkette plan their costumes. Even just listening, she can tell it's going to be a lot of work to make these costumes. And suddenly, the sets of blue and green eyes are right next to her honey brown ones.
"… Yes, girls?"
"Will you be a fairy with us?"
Well there goes her gothic Lolita plan. "… Sure, I can be a fairy with you."
The girls squeal in pleasure and chatter at her excitedly again. Finally they quiet down a little, leaving Reina to ask, "Have you girls decided what you want to be?"
"I want to be a frost-talent fairy!"
"I want to be an animal-talent fairy!"
"Alright, then I'll be a garden-talent fairy." Reina gets up and stretches until her stiff joints click. "Let's see… we'll need wings and dresses, maybe wigs…. We should get some different colors of sparkly and shimmery makeup, too. I'll get some extra fabric and stuffing, and we'll make a stuffed animal, snowflake, and flower. We'll have the best costumes around!"
"… Wait, I changed my mind!"
Here we go again….
