Author’s Notes:
Olé!

For those of you expecting Patrick to become Patty and gain all the feminine wiles, I apologize. It didn’t work for this story.

CCP asked for a magical costume Halloween story. So, I went with that. I was sick of the usual transformations and wanted to practice my Spanish like Eent practiced his French. In the end, I barely got to use any Spanish at all and what I did use got fixed thanks to *aiSAKU. I did have fun with linguistics though.

For those of you wondering about that couple and why I spelled things that way. Since, as an English speaker around Spanish speaking people, I can pick out a word or two of Spanish, I wanted to make the Spaniard that Patrick became, able to pick a word or two out of an English speakers sentence.

As for the magicalness of the costume, it:
1) Made them move through time and space.
2) Made them into what their costumes depicted (i.e. a Spanish matador –winces- I mean Torero).
3) It switched their costumes.
4) And it changed the blank papers to a newspaper with their pictures in it.

Spanish Translator:
La Lidia = the fight or the struggle
Toreadora sorprende los espectadores = (female) Bull Fighter surprises the spectators
El torero novato tiene mucho que aprender. = The novice (male) bull fighter has much to learn.

Deleted Ending: (I deleted it because the story is about Patrick and Victoria not Crazy Cow. I felt that by tacking this onto the very end would take away from that story.)

Not far away, the delivery man leaned back in his chair and puts his feet up on the desk. He lifted the cap off the horns and lays it nearby. The goateed mouth smiled and said, “Here’s to another job well done.” Then he turned and looked out a nearby window at all the costumed people running about.
