Lorelai has heard about Halloween, but this is the first time she gets to experience it herself, what with being only 10 months old (as a cookie) and 3 months old (as a human) and all. It's a holiday that revolves around candy, which is the third best thing about human after sex and Halloween.
"You do know that you won't actually get to go trick-or-treating, right?" Alex grumbles as Lorelai drags her through the Halloween aisle at Target. There are plastic skeletons and pumpkin-shaped candles and bags and bags of fun-sized candy bars. Lorelai wants to buy all of them.
"Actually, Margaret says I can take Patrick and Sienna this year," Lorelai tells her. "I already told her you'd love to come along."
Alex makes a face like Lorelai's just asked her to eat prunes.
"It'll be fun," Lorelai chortles, tossing another bag of mini-Reese's Cups into their cart.
"I doubt it," Alex says, Eeyore-ly. "I didn't even like trick-or-treating when I was a kid."
"That's because you've never gone trick-or-treating with me," Lorelai tells her. She has the ability to make anything fun. It's her witch-given talent, and she takes it seriously.
Alex raises an eyebrow at her. "I suppose we'll see."
Sometimes Lorelai thinks she's teaching Alex to be human too, and not just the other way around.

The best thing about being human was the sex.
But Halloween is a very, very close second.
