Elanor held out her bag, beaming up at the elderly lady who opened the door for her.

"Aren't you precious," the lady said, beaming as she dropped a handful of fun-sized candy bars in Elanor's bag. "Are you supposed to be Sleeping Beauty?"

"I'm Princess Aurora!" Elanor declared proudly. She pointed toward the sidewalk. "And Mummy's Maleficent!"

The Aviator lifted a hand in greeting, accidentally knocking his horns askew. "Hullo."

The lady's smile became slightly confused. "Don't you mean your daddy, sweetheart?"

"Nope! Thank you for the candy!" Elanor shut her bag and went skipping back to the Aviator, who scooped her up.

"Kiddo, remember what I said?" he asked as they started towards the next house. "You need to call me Daddy while we're here."

"But you're my mummy," Elanor said stubbornly. "It's too weird to call you Daddy."

The Aviator kissed her nose, then blew a raspberry against her cheek. "It's Halloween," he said. "Think you can be weird for one night? You can call me Mummy when we get back home."

Elanor giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Okay, Daddy."
