Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
7:52 PM
The fair was the same as it was always year. There were rides, there were vendors, there were shows and there were games. Standing in line for the Haunted House ride, Basil took a good look at Venus.
"Why the headband?" he asked. "Retiring the beret?"
Venus was wearing a pearl colored Alice band. Usually, she wore a beret when out of uniform so the wearing of an Alice band was quite surprising to Basil.
With a smile, Venus said: "Just trying to find myself beyond the French fetish we of Japan have."
Basil could only stare. "Uh huh…" He didn't understand the fascination some nations had with the French nation. "And?"
"I greatly prefer it." Commented Venus. "I tried a scrunchie and didn't like it as much as I did this on my head. I like it even better than the beret. I have no idea why it took me so long to start wearing them."
Basil looked down at her Venus' feet. "And sticking with the ballet flats for now on?"
"They are comfortable." Replied Venus.
Basil gave a chuckle. "Comfort is always best. So what would you like to start with first? The Ferris wheel?"
"Are you having second thoughts about the Haunted House, Basil?" inquired Venus.
"Sort of, I'm not exactly sure how scary it will be compared to the Death Bat." Basil confessed. "You?"
Venus gave a shrug. "It depends. Given the general lack of appearances of the Death Bat tonight, the Haunted House just might be the scariest thing I'll see all evening."
The couple then looked to the sky. The Death Bat did not appear to be in the sky illuminated by the lights of the fair.
"Well, looks like the Death Bat isn't—"
"Don't jinx it, Basil."
