Stacey had always been an artistic type; mostly dance, as her fit figure might indicate, but she'd spent enough time invested in theater to gain a knack for throwing costumes together on the cheap, so she was the one her friends went to when they wanted something made well. The trade-off was that Stacey got to pick the theme for their group, and decided to go with one of her favorite movies.
Stacey, of course, was Dorothy. A blue-dotted sleeveless dress over a white blouse, red pumps covered with matching scarlet sequins, and light brown hair done up in pigtails. She even had a little basket in on hand, complete with tiny plush Toto! The costume was immaculate; the only problem with it was that she was getting goosebumps from how much of her toned legs were uncovered under the skirt.
Meanwhile, Molly filled the role of the Scarecrow. Stacey had been friends with Molly since elementary school, and of the two Molly had always been the more energetic and bubbly of the too, eagerly rushing in to new experiences. Of course, when the two of them grew up, Molly really grew up; her wide body left her Scarecrow looking distinctly overstuffed. Her green tunic and brown slacks clung tight to her spacious frame. Still, with some face paint, glued bits of hay and rope, and Molly's own ginger hair and careless smile, she played her part well.
Rachel, on the other hand, was a bit of a diva. Stacey's original idea for a Tin Man costume was vetoed; even if it hadn't totally blocked the view of Rachel's hourglass figure, it would've been way too bulky for Rachel to move around in. So, some things were compromised. The nearly cylindrical silver-painted cardboard top Stacey had made was reduced down to a gray short sleeved t-shirt with the gray "tin" attatched. The "metal" leggings were replaced with a pair of sparkly, silver, hip hugging shorts. The rest was pretty standard; silver gloves, boots, hat, and wood ax. Rachel even let Stacey paint her face silver, the shining paint contrasting with the rest of her black skin visible on her neck, upper arms, and upper legs. Hardly accurate to the movie, but Stacey was proud nonetheless.
Finally, there was Abigail. Compared to the cheerful Stacey, brash Molly, and outgoing Rachel, Abigail was a lot more "doom and gloom". When her friends told her they needed a fourth for their Wizard of Oz group, Abigail was more than happy to volunteer. Then she found out she'd be dressed as the Cowardly Lion, not the Wicked Witch. Still, Abby endured; cynical and complaining as she was, Stacey put a lot of time into the costume-- a carefully stitched bodysuit in soft brown fabric, complete with tail and a hood covered in fur to make a lion's mane. The dark and gloomy almost-goth girl wasn't thrilled, but she endured, with the caveat that the other girls owed her one. Which she had not stopped reminding them of since they left to go to the fair.
So, as the four girls exited the car, making their way to the entrance, they were each eager to voice their own opinions on what to do first....
