“By the way.” Said uncle Jack. “Your cousin Alex is also here. See if you could find him.”
Your uncle Jack then walks off into the isles.
Alex was your partner in crime for many years now. You were both the same age and got along well. You start going through Jacks Shop looking for Alex. Not really paying attention to the myriad of costumes around you or the other customers. Jacks shop was like a maze, but you eventually found Alex standing infront of a purple curtain.
He was watching some get changed with wide eyes. You quickly rush over and pull Alex away.
‘What do you think your doing.’ You whisper yell at him.
“John?” Alex asks. “Great to see you. LISTEN. What Uncle Jack said about the costumes is TRUE. They really change you.”
You just shake your head in disappointment.
‘Alex.’ You say. ‘You don’t actually believe him do you.’
Alex nodded enthusiastically. “Oh. I believe alright, and there’s something I want to try that you can help me with. Come with me.”
Alex took your hand and lead you deeper into the store. When looking for Alex you thought you covered all the isles. Yet Alex was leading you down new paths. What was even weirder was that you were by now pretty sure some of the isles you went down intersected on another without actually going through them.
Finally Alex leads you to a red curtain. “Should be here.” He says leading you in.
Inside were various adult costumes, far to big for you and Alex. There were even one or two horse or zebra costumes ment for two people.
‘Alex, these are too big for us.’
“Maybe for me or you.” Alex stated. “But if I get on your shoulders, or you on mine, then we can BOTH wear them.”
You just look at Alex in stunned silence.
‘But if what you said is true. About the costumes changing you. Wouldn’t one of us be trapped?’ You ask.
“It’s fine.” Alex brushes you off reaching for a costume. “I really want to try this out. You be the legs.”
Alex pulls out a muscle suit with a zipper on the back. You look down at the prominent foam bulge in the front and shake your head.
‘No way I’m being the legs in that.’ You state.
“Fine. You pick something we can both wear then.” Alex was clearly upset at not getting to try out having big muscles.
You look around at the large costumes and decide you and Alex will both wear...
