Costume Party

The invitation was very clear. Wear your scariest costume. It was supposed to be at Brimstone Tavern after all.

Princess Endora looked at the costume on the bed. She shrugged and tried on the ghastly thing. It was a bit awkward but she got it on. She stood looking in the mirror

Dionne and Dulcina came through the door and started laughing.

“Why are you laughing?” Princess Endora asked.

“Pardon me, Princess, but that costume is hilarious.” Dulcina said. She was dressed as a black widow spider.

“I’m a jack o lantern.” Princess Endora said with a shrug.

“Do you really think you’re scary?” Dionne asked as she tried to suppress a giggle. Dionne was dressed as a mummy. She had taken old linen sheets and made strips to bind around herself.   

“Endora, you’re a pumpkin.” Dulcina said with a laugh.

Endora looked in the mirror again. “You’re right. What am I going to do?”

“You could always go as the Queen. She’s pretty scary.” Dionne said.

“That’s not funny.” Endora glared at her.

“Dragon bug here has a point. You should do it.” Dulcina said.

“She should do what?” Queen Taralen said from the doorway.  

Twenty minutes later they were stepping through the doorway of Brimstone Tavern. Lady Aura looked up and laughed. There stood three faeries: a mummy, a black widow spider and a pumpkin.
