The Days of October
"Good morning Sally!" Jack said gracefully.
"Good morning Jack!" She said with enthusiasm.
"Do you know where Zero is??"
"I saw him last night before I went to bed but I think he is outside. Did you need him for something??"
"Well Sally, today is Halloween and I wanted him to get into his Halloween spirit. And we have to go over our yearly Halloween schedule. This year I want to be extra special." Jack was looking anxiously to find Zero. Where could he possibly be??
Just then Jack and Sally think of an idea, "Why don't we go and get the town so we can all try to find Zero in time for the Halloween to kick in." "That is a wonderful idea Jack, let's get started." So they went to the mayor, they explained to him that they needed to find Zero, he said he would be glad to help.
So they went and searched EVERYWHERE for Zero but he was nowhere to be found. They searched and they searched but still no Zero. "Do you know every place that he likes to go Jack?" "Well I do know that he likes to go down to the Doggie Dew. We could start there." He said.
"That is a great idea Jack. Why don't we all spilt up and search." "Great thinking Sally, let's all go to all different places that Zero likes or loves to go to. That way, it will take half the time and we can get him back before Halloween tonight."
Jack, Sally, and the Mayor went to ALL the places Zero likes to go too often. Then the greatest idea popped into Jack's mind.
So they went to all of Zero's friends and asked them if they had seen Zero and once again, no sign of Zero.
Jack had a feeling that they were going to have to search all night and maybe even the next day to find his beloved Zero. Jack had Zero ever since Jack was a little skeleton.
Whenever Jack was lonely Zero was there, whenever Jack needed help, Zero was there, Zero was his partner in crime. He was always with Zero and he never left his sight. Now, he felt bad because he may have lost Zero. He knew that if they wouldn't find Zero, Jack would never forgive himself; he would hate himself for the rest of his Pumpkin King life.
Sally knew that Zero meant everything to Jack, so to find Zero would be the best day of Jack, and Sally's life.
For the next 30 minutes or so, Jack was as silent as wind. He was determined to find his poor Zero. He knew that Zero was lost and wanted to find Jack just as much as Jack wanted to find Zero. Even the Mayor knew that Zero was Jack's most prize possession. He knew that Jack wanted to find Zero desperately. He knew that Jack would never be the same man without his Zero.
Jack may not even want to be the King of the Pumpkin Patch anymore, then they whole world of Halloween town would be changed. Will Jack ever find his Zero??
