For @thedrabblecollective's November challenge day 23, a Warehouse 13 double drabble, could be set in an AU or just a bit of a happier canon-divergence with Christina Wells, for @wibblywobblyida :)

"And I am going as a witch for Halloween!" Christina shouts, the door slamming behind her.
Myka looks up from her book, sees Helena throw her hands up in frustration, then sigh.
"Oh, nothing much, my dearest daughter has once again decided she hates me and everything I stand for," Helena replies quite drily, so Myka is sure whatever this is about can't be all that serious.
"I merely suggested that she might want to wear a more inspired outfit for the event at her school, especially if she is interested in winning the costume contest - but it turns out she is more interested in fitting in than in standing out, no matter how favourably!"
Amused, Myka puts her book away and goes to give Helena a hug. "Are you mad she isn't going as HG Wells?"
"As my brother, with a fake moustache you mean? Perish the thought!"
Laughing, Myka pecks Helena on the lips. "Well, what were your suggestions?"
"Not any good, according to my own flesh and blood," Helena pouts. "...Well, I suppose we better go shopping for a witches' hat before every other school girl buys the stores out of stock!"
Helena could, of course, make Christina a much better witch costume than the plastic found in a Spirit Halloween, but if the kid wants to fit in with her friends by looking exactly like them, that's what she gets! It's tough enough being in middle school, after all...
