act one, chapter eleven. all star.
olive was doing everything in her might to move on.
it had been three weeks since the blue bats won mcc.
"livie, i think you should head down to brighton for a bit," carmen rubbed the girl's shoulder. she left her room now, so progress! "visit some family for halloween."
"i don't even have a costume, though," olive mumbled. "and all of my cousins are like — ten."
"so? take them trick or treating," carmen desperately wanted olive to get out of the house. she loved her daughter, but moping around was not the way to get over it. "they haven't seen you in so long, livie."
olive trilled her lips. "to spirit halloween i go."
"to spirit halloween you go," carmen watched proudly as the raven haired girl put her shoes on and marched out the door with a jacket. "this kid is gonna be the death of me."
olive walked tiredly into the halloween store. she got plenty of sleep now, but it was still making up from before. she was getting better, and that's what mattered.
the fall by lovejoy began playing in olive's airpods. she hummed along as she walked along the costume aisles. halloween was in three days, there wasn't much left.
"what to be, what to be ..." olive asked herself. her fingertips touched the end of every costume.

marley, olive's cousin, was by far the best relative ever. despite the two year age difference and the three hour train ride, they still talked at least every week.
"what's something i really like?" olive pondered aloud, before her eyes landed on something that made her laugh to herself. "god, i am the funniest person alive."
she plucked the costume off the shelf, and bid her way to the train station.

"god you're so sexy," marley looked olive up and down jokingly. "wait, we're cousins. my bad mans."
"nobody needs to know," olive said, in a very much lin manuel miranda voice. "who's going trick or treating?"
"me, jaden, tyler, maisie, and cadence," marley listed off all her siblings. olive's cousin was the oldest, but not by much — tyler was fourteen, jaden was his twin, maisie was nine, and cadence was seven. "have fun with that."
the time read 6:00 pm, and it was already getting dark out. "we better go now, we'll be out for a bit and i wanna bake cookies later."
jaden and tyler claimed they were 'too old' to dress up (though olive decide they were cosplaying highlighters), maisie was little red riding hood, and cadence was a witch.
with the entertainment of the boys taking marley's blue wig off multiple times, olive had to then begin carrying cadence's bag due to it being too heavy.
obviously, the seventeen year old hadn't gotten as much candy as the others, she was getting a bit old, according to the adults.
"you're a bit old to be trick or treating, no?"
"my bad, didn't know having fun had an age limit."
one day olive's mouth was going to get her in trouble. but until then!
it was eight thirty. all of them worn out, they had decided to walk back to their house, and olive was going to bake cookies and give someone all of her candy.
"olive?" a familiar voice called from behind the very tired girl.
"charlie?" she laughed. "what are you doing in brighton?"
he smiled, realizing that it had indeed been the girl he thought he saw in the back of her head. "i could ask you the same! i'm out here taking my cousins trick or treating."
"no fuckin' shit, so am i!" olive grinned. "putting the bright, in brighton, you know?"
"unfortunately, i do."
marley had taken her siblings home. olive bid charlie a goodbye, after a long walk around the neighborhoods and laughing together as if they were children again.
brighton beach. olive had so many memories here — when she visited more often, they would come down and play tag and do all the games that you still see little kids play.
the only light was coming from the moon.
"ollie?"
she turned around, swallowing her sip of soda full of coca cola.
"tommy?"
— olive !
