Jack runs to the Hanging Tree as he follows Jaycee.

"Hanging Tree, have you seen Jaycee?" Jack said.

"Yes. She went to Spiral Hill." The Hanging Tree said as he and his Hanging Men pointed to where Jaycee went.

"Thanks!" Jack said as he continues to follow Jaycee.

When Jack makes it to Spiral Hill, he sees Jaycee wandering in the graveyard and calling Zero, the ghost dog he owned since he was a boy, out of his grave. Then she began to sing...


JAYCEE'S LAMENT

There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best

For my talents are renowned far and wide

When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night

I excel without ever even trying

With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms

I have seen grown women give out a shriek

With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan

I have swept the very bravest off their feet

Yet year after year, it's the same routine

And I grow so weary of the sound of screams

And I, Jaycee, The Pumpkin Princess

Have grown so tired of the same old fashion

Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones

An emptiness began to grow

There's something out there, far from my home

A longing that I've never known

I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light

And I'll scare you right out of your pants

To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Madam Unlucky

And I'm known throughout England and France

And since I am not dead, I can't take off my head

To recite Shakespearean quotations

Still, No animal nor man can scream like I can

With the fury of my recitations

But who here would ever understand

That the Pumpkin Princess with the skeleton grin

Would tire of her crown, if they only understood

She'd give it all up if she only could

Oh, there's an empty place in my bones

That calls out for something unknown

The fame and praise come year after year

Does nothing for these empty tears...


Jaycee leaves after she was done singing.

"Jaycee... I-I know how you feel." Jack said after Jaycee left.

Jack climes up to the top of Spiral Hill thinking about how bored Jaycee was. She was exactly bored like he was 18 years ago. Zero was heard barking as he went to Jack. "Not now, Zero. I gotta go." Jack said as he went back home.


"Great Halloween, Jack. I'm so proud of Jaycee, I... Huh? Where is Jaycee?" Sally asked as she was wandering where Jaycee was.

"Sally, there's something I've got to tell you." Jack said.


Zero was heard barking as Jaycee was walking.

"Not now, Zero. I'm not in the mood." Jaycee said as she continued walking.

Zero kept begging her to play Fetch.

Jaycee groaned "Fine. Here you go, boy."

She then throws the boomerang so Zero could fetch it. But when Zero fetched it, she continued walking, which made Zero whimper a little.


"Aw. Poor Jaycee. I hope she turns up soon." Sally said sadly.

"That's the point. She probably won't turn up." Jack said.

"We might have to follow her." Sally said.

"That's what I was thinking." Jack agreed.

The two then leave the house to follow their daughter.
