Rebecca came over later and was actually quite happy with the costume Jessie had chosen for Jack. 'It serves you right. I'll even help you get ready. I have a blonde wig you can wear and I'll lend you some sandals. I have a pair that are totally lace up. They will adjust to fit your big feet'
'I don't want to be a girl. What will your parents think?'
'They will understand. Besides it's Halloween. They will expect you to be dressed up. Everyone will have a costume. I dare say you won't be the only guest dressed as the opposite sex. Remember last year the whole Ramsey family came as witches'
'They will think I'm a sissy'
'Nonsense! You would be more of a sissy if you welched on the bet. I would think less of you if you didn't wear the costume. Do you think Jessie would have enjoyed going to the party in that donkey costume you bought for her? She would have worn it anyway. That's what you have to do if you make a bet'
'What are you going to wear now? You were going to go as Wednesday Addams. I was going to be your date'
'I already have my dress. I'm not going to change now. I'll be Wednesday, you will just have to be my room mate. The blonde werewolf girl. She wears pink. What's her name again? Enid! That's it! I'll be Wednesday and you will be Enid!'
Jessie had been listening to this conversation and chuckled internally. So Jack was going to make her a donkey was he? Well that wasn't going to happen now. She had 5 days to think of her own costume. She was tall now. Perhaps she could go as Morticia Addams and stick to the theme? All she would need was a black dress.
