Masquerade
By Brenda B. Covert 		  
1     I walked through the doorway and entered a glittering place filled with princesses, fairies, vampires, and swamp monsters. Witches and wizards mingled with superheroes and mermaids. The ceiling was dripping with pumpkins, spiders, bats, and moons.
 
2     "Whoa! Great costume!" a sweet voice said. I turned to see who had spoken. It was Amelia from my art class, dressed in a blue-and-white-checkered jumper and a white blouse. Her hair was braided into two pigtails, and she was carrying a basket with a little stuffed dog in it.
 
3     "Why, hello, my pretty," I said with my best evil cackle. She giggled and hurried away.
 
4     An interesting character was sampling the buffet. I carefully made my way to the table.
 
5     "Nice cape," I said. The boy, his face partially hidden by a white mask, looked up.
 
6     "Back at you!" he said with a smear of bean dip on his chin.
 
7     I handed him a napkin. "Seen any good operas lately?" I asked. The kid choked on his chips! I chuckled and left him there.
 
8     A loud and eerie voice commanded all the prettiest, scariest, and most original characters to appear in a lineup.
