Jake was surprised when he found a two person unicorn costume. Sharon had always been into fantasy and stuff like that. It wasn't in the men's costume row or the woman's costume row, but in-between marked 'unisex.'
The costume was incredibly detailed, it wasn't just a horse costume with a horn glued on. Perfect pearly white coat. Ivory cloven hooves. A lion's tail. Legs like a deer. A beautiful spiral horn. An almost glowing curly mane. Though Jake did wonder how two people were supposed to fit inside it.
There was a note with the costume that read, 'WARNING: If wearers are of different sexes, please agree ahead of time what sex the unicorn is or turning the putting on of the costume. Otherwise, sex of congealed consciousness will be determined randomly.'
That... Jake had no clue what that meant. He'd never felt anything so smooth and comforting as whatever dark red material the costume's inside was made out of. Sharon had always wanted him to join her in one of her hobbies, and this seemed perfect.
He was surprised when the man at the cash register was a man in bathrobe with sparkling stars glued on. On the desk was a sign that read 'He Is A Wizard.' This was kinda weird.
"Ah! That one! You know unicorns live forever unless killed."
"Yeah I know the myths."
"Good good. So Jake, this for someone special?"
"How did you-"
The man in the bathrobe pointed at the sign. "Now then, you should know there are no refunds. So think about this carefully. The consciousness born of your union will have traits of you both. You'll effectively be their parents."
"I haven't made THAT step with Sharon yet!"
"Ah! Girlfriend. Should have known. Still, I promise, you two will become closer than any could imagine with this costume."
Jake shrugged and paid the whooping 50 bucks for the costume and left the store.
