"Peggy? What are you doing here?"
Turning my head up to meet the gaze of the person behind the booth, I immediately recognized the deadpan face and the cinnamon brown casual ponytail that she wore. She's one of my classmates and both of us had been teammates in a couple of group assignments in university.
Without speaking a word, she raised the badge hanging around her neck to my eye-level to show me the information on the badge. It had her name, photo, location of her booth and her position to prove that she is an authorized seller of the Comic and Anime Convention.
"What? You made this? Wow, you never came across to me as someone with such a good hand at making anime figurines."
"Says the one interested in it," She jabbed back at me.
I was stupefied and confused by the tone she carried but I quickly realized that I had just made a very ignorant remark.
"Oh, erm, sorry. I-I didn't mean it that way- *sigh* I'm sorry for making such a rude comment, I didn't think it through before saying it."
"Apology accepted. So, what are you looking for?" She replied nonchalantly, taking a sphere shaped lollipop out of her pocket and strips off the packaging before taking it into her mouth.
"I'm just looking for clothes for a doll, is this all you have? I'm looking for something bigger."
"I still have a couple with different designs back in my house and all the sizes are more or less the same but I could alter the size. I just need the size of the doll-" Peggy's eyes suddenly gazed downward to the sling bag across my chest-"Is that the doll? It would be a whole lot easier if I could just measure it now, if you wanted to."
"Eh? Wouldn't that be expensive and I'm not sure I even have enough money for this." I was shocked by her sudden proposal and I tried to refuse her as politely as I could. I peeked at the opening of my bag to see the little Tall Lady had half of her body out of the bag but she was frozen still like a statue, keeping the promise she made to me.
"Don't worry, it is only five dollars per set of clothes and I don't charge extra for alteration unless the difference of size is too big then I might need to make a new one and I will charge accordingly based on how much material is used."
Five dollars? That's a hell of a deal compared to the price at the toy store! But I couldn't just hand the Tall Lady to her, what if she finds out that she is not actually a doll? That would be a disaster.
After a moment of thought, I decided to put my trust on the Tall Lady as I held both of my hands out in front of me with her laying on top of it, motionlessly.
Peggy put on a pair of black gloves on her hands first and took over the Tall Lady with light hands.
"A potato?" Peggy blurted out upon closer inspection. Differ from her original size, the miniature Tall Lady was much more chubby with a flat chest and a wide bottom, making her whole body shaped like an oval.
"Pffttt." I snickered when I heard it. The Tall Lady on the other hand was not amused by Peggy's remark but she remained silent.
"This is quite a work, where did you buy it from?" Peggy asked as she felt the texture of the Tall Lady, giving her round cheek a small squeeze just to see it bounced back when she released it.
"Is a gift. I'm not sure where it is from."
Peggy gave the Tall Lady another long look before placing the Tall Lady on a craft mat on the table at the side and adjusting the lamp on the little Tall Lady like she's preparing for a surgical operation. I could see the Tall Lady's eyes shuddering in fear.
Peggy reached for the toolbox beside the mat and fished for a moment, then fetched a measuring tape out of it.
She started from her leg, measuring from her feet to her thighs and hips, after she measured, she would scribble in her notebook before continuing. My heart pounded with fear when I saw the Tall Lady making a small shiver as though she was about to burst out laughing whenever the measuring tape brushed against the part where she is sensitive to tickles like her waist and armpits, but she held back at best as she could and luckily, Peggy didn't seem to notice anything strange.
Soon, Peggy returned the Tall Lady to me after making a final note, I placed the Tall Lady back on my sling bag, leaving the zip ajar as before.
"Good. I will send you the catalog, you just need to pick the design you want and I will quote you the price before I start. You can take your time." Peggy informed me as she sent a document to my phone, containing all the design, some of it is not available on the table.
"Thanks. I'll see you in class then."
"Sure." Peggy replied as she pressed her lips together into a flat smile.
Without delay, I grabbed my drinks and left the booth immediately to escape the awkward situation. Despite knowing her for a few months, both of us rarely talk and her cold personality makes it impossible for anyone to hold a conversation with her for longer than one minute.

Returning back to the center walkway of the convention, I noticed the crowd had thinned out a bit and some of the booth owners had started to pack up their stuff.
Reaching for my phone to check the time, I was shocked to find that it was six in the evening, I guessed I must have lost track of time.
Searching for a bin to throw away my already empty drink, I suddenly overheard someone's conversation.
"Damn, look at that outfit!"
"Huh? What's she cosplaying?"
"I don't know and I don't care, the only thing I care about is those tiddies and ass, if the dress she's wearing were any more tighter, I'm about to bust a nut in my pants right here, right now."
"Why are you the way you are?"
Intrigued by their conversation, I turned my gaze to the two nerd looking guys beside me and I followed their gaze.
My eyes widened and my face turned pale at the sight of a woman with long black hair who had her eyes covered by her bangs. She wore a kid size hospital gown that was so small that it plastered her body, accentuating her shapely ass and tits.
My heart was beating fast as she moved closer with her bare feet, I was puzzled by what I'm seeing. How could this be? Isn't the Tall Lady in my bag? Is she her twin or something?
But soon, I noticed something peculiar. She isn't as tall as I think she is, she's still tall but not as tall as the Tall Lady and she had one of her hands behind her back, pulling a big metal suitcase.
When she walked past me, her bangs fluttered in the air and I caught a glimpse of what's beneath. Her lashes were long and eyes were big and bright blue, and her skin was white but not as pale as the Tall Lady.
I heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like I can breathe again after realizing that she was just a cosplayer.
Just as I was about to exit the convention, the Tall Lady, without warning, suddenly jumped out of the sling bag across my chest and landed on the floor, running back inside with her stumpy leg.
