I woke up and saw it was morning. I yawn and got up from my coffin bed. I look to see Teddy, my black robot cat sleeping at the edge of my bed. I smiled and most times I wake him up but I thought to leave him be this time. I grab my black and white stripe dress that has cute little pumpkins on it. Also my favorite dress in the world. I went into my bathroom and comb my messy red hair. It's always a mess in the morning. I grab my spider shape like comb and brush my hair. I love to put my hair in the braid just because, I just do. That's just me, I guess. Mamma always tells me that I must look amazing for everyone in town.
I finish brushing my hair and I walk out and soon I heard a small voice calling my name. I turn to see my little sister Jessie whom I help my grandfather Dr. Finkelstein create for my Mamma and Pappa. Jessie is a rag doll like me and Mamma except her hair is brown and her eyes change colors whatever is her feelings are. Right now her eyes are blue which means she is pretty happy. I said smiling "hi, Jessie, see your up". Jessie nodded and said "yeah, I seen Mamma, Pappi, and Judy are still asleep". I was kind of shock to hear that one. Mamma and Pappa are always up earlier then we are. I shrugged and said "oh well, come on maybe we can make breakfast for them before they get up". Jessie jumped for joy and said "I can help". I laugh and said "you sure can". Jessie smiled and she ran down the stairs and I came along afterwards.
Mamma had been showing me how to cook and make some dresses. Of course I want to be like my grandfather someday, I want to be a mad scientist. I love to create life and try to figure out how it all works out well. I been visiting grandpa a whole lot. Grandpa been showing me some formulas and it's pretty cool. I hope someday I would make something come to life. Jessie is pretty anxious to be helping me cook breakfast for everyone. I decide to cook frog leg stew, since that's is much easier to cook.
I know Mamma don't like Jessie to cook because Jessie is still learning to walk much better. I decided that it was time for her to learn, besides she needs to learn how to cook when she get's older. I show her how to put frog leg into the pot of hot water and stir it until you see it boiling. I let Jessie stir the stew and pretty much she has been doing a good job of doing it. I said encouraging her "that's it just keep it up". I went to set the table while Jessie stir the stew. I had a pretty bad feeling about it but I shrug it off. I said to myself "ah… she knows what she is doing. As long she doesn't pick it up, she'll be fine". I just finish putting the dishes on the table when all of sudden Jessie scream out in pain. I turn and saw her whole arm was burning in flames. I ran to get some water and I pour it on her. But the fire raise a bit higher and Jessie scream out even louder which I knew would definitely wake everyone in the household up.
I happen to spot Zero's bowl on the counter and so I grab hold of it and fill it up with water. Once I filled it up, I ran to Jessie and threw it on her and I kept doing it till finally the fire was definitely was out. I saw Jessie's eyes were bright pink and she was crying. I said guilty "I am so sorry, Jessie". I heard a whole lot of footsteps running down the stairs. I knew they had heard Jessie's scream. I help Jessie to sit on the table and she put both of her burnt arms on the table. It wasn't blue anymore but more black marks on them. I frowned and sat next to her still feeling that guilt of mine.
Judy my oldest sister also she and pappa are the only two in the family that are skeletons. She wears her spider web dress with a black spider bow on her dress. Judy ran in and saw Jessie's arms and yelled "Jessie, your arms"! Mamma and Pappa came running in and saw Jessie and they were shock and yet worried. Mamma loves her mix pattern colorful dress and Pappa wears completely black cloths and black bat bow tie. Pappa ask "Jessie, what happen"? Jessie said to Pappa "I was only trying to help make breakfast and I trip a little and got both of my arms in the stew". Mamma crossed her arms and said "Jessie, you know better then to…" Jessie intervene and said "but it was Sarah's idea". I gave her a glare of irritation. I look at Mamma and Pappa and right there they gave me a trouble stern look. I knew that I was in huge trouble then. Thankfully for Judy she stuck up for me saying "you know Jessie does have to learn how to cook".
Pappa gave Judy a glare as if he was saying "don't try our patience young lady". Judy saw her father's glare and she just kept her mouth quiet then. Zero our family ghost dog came in and he saw Jessie and was worried. I sigh and said "look I'm sorry, I thought that I would help Jessie out". Mamma gave me a stern look and said "Sarah, we talk more about this later, let's hope your grandfather can help Jessie". Pappa nodded and he picked Jessie up and said to me and Judy "you two stay here while your mother and I go and take Jessie to Dr. Finkelstein. We'll be back in the while. Please get something to eat". Judy and I both nodded and Pappa looked at me and said sternly "I'll talk to you later".
Pappa and Mamma left even Zero left the house while Judy went to close the door. I sat on the couch and still I felt horrible for Jessie. Judy came sat next to me and said "I knew why you did as you did. It just Mom and Dad don't understand and worry too much for her". I nodded and said "yeah, I know. I guess I should've done the stirring well she does the setting the table". Judy shrugs and said "like I said it wasn't your fault". Judy smiled and said "shay, since mom and dad are going to be gone for a while why don't we go to Spiral Hill to take a chill for a bit". Judy knows that Spiral Hill is our favorite place and also the only place to get away from everyone for a bit. I nodded and said "sounds great but let's eat first". Judy nodded and said "great idea". Then we saw Teddy coming down the stairs tiredly. Teddy yawn and asked "so what's for breakfast"? Teddy is able to talk since Dr. Finkelstein made him talk so we can understand him well.
I told him what happened to Jessie and that Mamma and Pappa are going to be gone for a while. Teddy nodded and said "I see, but you girls do have breakfast ready, right"? Judy said "yup, real soon". Teddy smiled and we all went into the kitchen and we serve the spider stew to Teddy and ourselves. After breakfast Judy done the dishes and afterwards I told Teddy that we will be at the Spiral Hill. Of course Teddy doesn't care where or what we do, all he cares about is sleeping and laying back. Since he is getting older he is getting a bit more lazier than ever before. Me and Judy went outside and walk through the town without anyone seeing us. Once we got to the Spiral Hill we sat there kind of looking around the huge graveyard. Judy smiled and said "boy, this feels great when the world is upside down". I giggled and said "yeah, it sure is". I love Judy and we two are very close sisters since the day of my birth.
Judy knows me better than anyone in town does. Like I know Jessie very well then anyone else in the town does. Yeah, us three sisters stay close together. Judy lay back and said "you know it would be cool if we go to that school". I look at her curious and ask "what school? The only one here is Halloween Town High". Judy got herself straight sitting up and said "oh I forgot you and Jessie don't know yet, do you"? I shook my head. Judy said "well two months ago after meeting Aaron, I heard from Cara that there is another school far away from here". I listen closely to hear about this interesting kind of school. Judy said "I heard that this school is call Monster High, where any kinds of monster freaky flaw and all go and don't have to worry about family problems at all". I ask "did Cara tell you how far it was"? Judy shook her head and said "no Cara says her cousin Jinafire Long goes there and she loves it".
Cara is Judy's best friend and she is a dragon. Cara and Judy been best friends since Kindergarten and surprising they are still good friends. I smiled and said "boy, that sounds amazing". Judy sigh and said "yeah, but sadly mom and dad don't think so". I ask "why is that"? Judy shrug and said "they wouldn't say". I wonder why Mamma and Pappa don't want us to go there. I didn't say anymore then that. Judy look at me and ask "ready to go home"? I nodded knowing if we don't get home soon then we could get ourselves into deep trouble. So me and Judy decided to go back home before Mamma and Pappa did.
