| Nobody thinks I should dress up as a hula girl,� said Liz to her friend, Early. �Everyone�s so adamant against it. I don�t understand why.�
Liz sat with Early at an outdoor caf� on the day before Halloween discussing costumes�or rather, Liz was discussing costumes. Early just listened to her blather on, as Liz was a bit of a motormouth. Liz wore a knee-length denim skirt and a black DKNY tee shirt. Her bare feet were crossed at the ankles under her chair, resting on top of her exercise sandals as she sipped on her cappuccino. Liz�s feet being out of her shoes was no happenstance. Somewhat of an exhibitionist, Liz loved to expose her bare feet. She thought they were �just the cutest�, and wanted everyone to look at them and notice just how cute her feet were. |
| . Whenever she got the opportunity she would slide her feet out of her sandals, shoeplaying like a little girl, with feet waving around, toes wiggling and shoes sliding about on the floor, often losing contact with them�all in the hopes of drawing attention to herself. At the moment, however, Liz�s feet were unusually tame.
Early was a competent shoeplayer in her own right, her toes pressing into the backs of her pink flip-flops. Early was completely oblivious to her own shoeplay, nevertheless. Her feet seemed to act on their own accord. �You know why everyone�s adamant against it,� said Early. �Why?� �I know your interpretation of a hula girl. You�re gonna run around topless with just a lei covering up your tits,� �And what�s wrong with that?� Early laughed. �You�re gonna get arrested for indecent exposure.� �My tits ain�t indecent.� �Whatever. Hula girl�bad idea.� �Anyway. . .� Liz paused to take another sip of her cappuccino and her feet once again, came to life with an explosion of rubbing and toe-wiggling. �I thought of another costume.� �What is it?� �I�m gonna be a barefoot witch. I�m gonna paint my toenails and my fingernails black, and it�ll be awesome.� �Awesome?� Early repeated, crinkling her nose. �Why a barefoot witch?� �That�s so original. Nobody�s done that before.� �But why is the witch barefoot?� �Maybe she�s poor. I don�t know. I don�t need a background profile of my costume character.� |

| Early snickered. �Okay.�
�So what are you gonna be?� �I have to work tomorrow.� �Work? We always go trick-or-treating on Halloween.� �Well this year I gotta work.� �Call off.� �Psss.� �You gonna have me running around door to door by myself?� �You don�t have to go. Aren�t we a little old for this now, anyway? I�m nineteen, you�re twenty.� �So?� said Liz with a pout. �You�re never too old to trick-or-treat.� �Really?� �Well maybe not never. . . but I�m not too old. That�s bullshit.� �There�s probably gonna be some after hours Halloween parties going on that we can hit up after I get off.� �Early, that�s not the routine. You�re fucking up the routine.� �Ay,� said Early with a shrug. �Shit happens.� |
