I waddled slowly out into the crowded streets, clutching one of my niece’s hands in my large purple paw while she used her other hand to thrust her costume sword at imaginary threats. As far as Halloween nights go, it was a pretty good one. The night was dark, slightly drizzly and the air was crisp.

The purple monstrosity I was wearing seemed to have a life of its own. Moving and swaying with enough force to give me the queasies.

“I’m going to get her for this.” I couldn’t help but mutter as a gust of wind sent my hind end swaying once again.

“Don’t talk to strangers. Hah!” I continued self-righteously as we made our way out to join the herd of screaming kids and wincing parents.

“Just what is she expecting? I’m going to pick up the first thing that comes my way?”

I paused to let a Sponge Pants Bob run bye chased by Casper and another unidentified ghoul.

“Nah, just the second.” My niece interjected. “Where’d Billy go?”

“Pardon me?” I politely asked through slightly clenched teeth.

“Mom said you’d probably turn down the first thing that came your way and go for the second one.”

“She did?”

I stepped casually over the petite ballerina that had decided to lie on the ground and rest much to her pleading parents' dismay.

“Yeah. That was after Dad told her about all the Underworld type costumes he’d seen in the store. He said you’d be a goner.”

The teeth were definitely edging into gritting now.

“He did?”

With a discreet kick of my left leg I sent a miniature Freddy Kreuger back in the direction of his oblivious parents.

“Uh huh. Right after he bet her fifty bucks that you’d pick up a vampire not a werewolf this year.”
