The coin landed on the desk, and the side facing up was...
Tails! They would have to pick each other's costumes.
"It's tails!" shouted Jon.
"That's great" replied Karyn. "Just don't go crazy with the costume" she said, staring right through the webcam.
"Meet me at the mall tomorrow at 10am, You'll have to wait and see..." said Jon, pulling an evil grin, then closing the video chat.
"Oh its on Jon-boy" said Karyn to herself, plotting out which costume she'd get him.
~~~~~~~~
The next morning, Jon met up with Karyn in the mall.
"I have another rule" said Jon. "If either of us doesn't wear the costume, they owe the other $50"
"Oh you're on" replied Karyn smugly, "no way I'm losing this"
The two of them walked down through the mall, and into the 'Parties, Events & More' store.
The store was full of anything you'd need for a party, there was a section just for candy and personalised cakes, Party decorations and banners, cards for all occasions.
And in the back, a very, very large range of costumes. Everything from superheroes to mythical creatures, even movie characters and Halloween costumes.
"Okay, meet back at the fountain in half an hour" said Karyn.
Separating, they walked off into the endless rows of costumes.
Jon knew exactly what he'd get Karyn to wear, he just had to find it. After around ten minutes of searching, he found it.
A sexy bunny-girl costume. It even came with a pair of black heels.
"Perfect" thought Jon, proceeding to walk to the checkout to buy the costume, then return to the fountain to wait for Karyn.
Meanwhile, Karyn was still walking through the aisles. It was another fifteen minutes before she found something for Jon to wear.
"Excellent" she thought. "This'll totally embarrass him, no doubt he's got something embarrassing for me."
She'd picked out a costume from the superhero section. There were a lot of choice, but she managed to narrow it down. The costume she'd picked was Violet from The Incredibles.
The costume was just the 'super suit', the classic superhero 'mask' and a long black wig.
She paid for the costume and went to meet Jon at the fountain.
Meeting up, they exchanged shopping bags. Jon started to open up his bag, but Karyn stopped him.
"No, don't look until you get home, that way the surprise will be better." said karyn
"Oh...kay..." agreed Jon, hesitantly. "See you tonight at the party then?"
"Sure, seeya later" smiled Karyn, walking away.
