"... Isn't this supposed to be a children's holiday?"
Melody sat perched atop a shelf as she watched Tanner put the last touches on his costume. Honestly, she still didn't know much about the specifics of human holidays, even though she had seen the decorations go up year after year. Still, from what she could remember, all the people running around in strange clothes asking for candy had been kids. She'd seen people Tanner's age too, but she could never tell exactly what they were doing. Most of them didn't dress up.
"Hey, I'm still a kid," said Tanner, not even bothering to turn around to look at her. He stood facing the mirror, painstakingly drawing along the edge of his eye with a wand of something or the other. She had been watching him put on make-up for the better part of an hour by now.
