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.
