Scary Thoughts

Princess Endora and her maid, Dionne, sat in the sunshine of the fall afternoon and stared at the invitation on the blanket between them.

“What do you wear to these things anyway?” Dionne looked up at the Princess.

“You wear a costume. You dress as something you think is scary or funny.” Endora explained. “This says to be scary.”

“Why?” Dionne asked.

“It’s just what you do.” Endora shrugged. “Aura says it’s fun.”

“What does she dress up as?”

“Well she has ritual that night so she is in her robes, the black ones not the pretty ones.”   

“Your sister should go as a dragon. She would have to do anything but transform for that. She would be all red scales and fire breathing.” Dionne said.

“She says it itches for days after she transforms.” Endora laughed.

Dulcina came up on them and plopped down on the blanket. She picked up the invitation and read it. “Cool! Do you think I can come to?”

“I don’t see why not.” Endora said. “Do you have a scary costume?”

“I’ll have to think about it.” Dulcina wrinkled her nose.

“Where have you been this time?” Dionne asked.

“I was visiting friends at a nudist colony.” Dulcina said. “Hey! I just had a weird thought. I’ll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.”  

“I know I will regret asking this, but why is that, Dulcina?” Endora asked.

“Cause they were already pretty scary looking naked.” Dulcina giggled.

Dionne giggled. “EW! Were you naked too?”

“Yep!” Dulcina laughed.

Endora squeezed her eyes to get the image of scary naked people out of her head. “Thanks Dulcina. That is exactly what I need to think about right before I have to sit at Court.”   

“Endora! Where are you?” Crown Princess Cara called out from the path.

“I’m here, Mother.” Endora answered.

“Come along and change. You are going to be late and you know how your grandmother hates that.” Crown Princess Cara waved them back up to the palace.

“Sorry Mother.” Endora and her companions hurried back into the palace.

All afternoon Endora couldn’t help but get annoyed at Dionne as she giggled as petitioner after petitioner came forward. It was Dulcina’s weird thoughts that were to blame.
