who: Nic & Jamie what: Bumping into one another when: BACKDATED October 24/afternoon where: Halloweentown USA
Autumn, by far, was Nic's favorite time of the year. The temperature was dropping, the leaves were changing colors, and best of all? It meant that Halloween was right around the corner. Halloween had always been a big holiday in the Hunter household, mainly because Melissa had a ball dressing up each and every one of her children; especially Nicole, since she was the woman's only daughter. Sure she was a tomboy, but for one day out of the entire year, Melissa got to see her little girl in frilly dresses and glitter. Though as Nic got older, and she had more say in what she wore, the costumes were less girly. That, however, was coming full circle.
Halloween had practically snuck up on Nic this year, and with it being just a week away, she had left the salon early Friday afternoon and went down to the local costume shop to find something to wear. She figured that with it being so close to the actual holiday that pickings would be slim, but as she entered the warehouse she saw that she was wrong. Bagged costumes, wigs, masks, and other trinkets lined the walls and shelves from ceiling to floor and it didn't take the blonde long at all to find where the women's costumes began. To be completely honest, she wasn't entirely sure what she was going to dress up as, she just knew she wanted something...well, something girly. Not to mention it had to be something she could get away with wearing at work.
Hiking her bag up further on her shoulder and crossing her arms across her chest, she wandered down the first aisle a bit, glancing over various costumes. The first few she laid eyes on were sluttier in nature than she preferred, and definitely shorter than what was proper to wear into the salon, when she came across a lady bug costume. After finding her size, she unsnapped the bag and pulled the dress out, a small frown immediately curling her lips downward as she realized that that dress was too short as well. Letting out a small sigh as she folded the dress back up, she slipped the dress back into the package before returning it to the wall.
