Disclaimer, characters Laughing Jack, and Laughing Jill do not belong to me.
Walking through a small town, she did not want to listen to the noise of a city. Laughing Jill was bored, and roaming around with her new feeling of loneliness. It had made her very very upset. An unsettling uneasiness had laid over her, as if there was something she was meant to remember, about being lonely; it felt as if she was forgetting about someone. Someone so important as to bring her life, most of what she remembered was colors, she was colorful. Looking down at herself, she had no colors at all. Devoid of color, and friends. She really wanted a friend; she was so upset by this that she had left her carnival to watch children run around and play. Hiding around the corner of a house she could hear laughter, and music. Sounding like an accordion, curious, she peaked around the corner. What she saw, more like who she saw, well it was about to change her life, forever.
Grinning and dancing with a group of young children was Jack. He looked down at his new group of friends, playing his accordion. His grin stretching from ear to ear, laughing and dancing. Stopping for a bit, giving each one some candy, his new friends, they were going to play games later on. Just like he did with Isaac, his oldest friend, who gave him his personality. Remembering the games he played, always gave him a smile. They had so much fun then, he was about to have more with these children. Looking at a house, he had a feeling he was being watched. Wondering if they would want to play as well. He saw a girl there, she looked like him, well she sort of looked like him. She was pretty, really pretty.
Looking right into the eyes of a tall man, who looked like herself. She almost forgot to breath, it was like the sappy love at first sight. He was just so undoubtedly gorgeous, she could not take her eyes off of him. She wondered if he had the same kind of fun that she had. Stepping out from the house, she found herself walking out of the shadows to this strange, beautiful man. Who only looked at her, standing up straighter, as if ignoring the kids to clutched at his tattered clothing. This girl was beautiful, her clothing was nice, almost the same type of style as his. Wondering now that he has seen her, if there was anyone else like them anywhere. Walking towards her, knocking kids down, who cried because they scratched their knees and ran home to their mothers.
Stopping a few feet from each other just gazing at each other. Jill was the first to speak "hello, My name's jill, what's yours?" tilting her head to the side only slightly. Jack smiling and bowed, when his head rose she smiled, his teeth parting slightly "well my name is Jack, it is very nice to meet you Jill". Her heart skipping a few more beats, his voice was even majestic. She curtsied and blushed ever so slightly, which on her cheeks only showed a bit more grey and paler than usual. Jack thought it was cute that she turned more grey. Stretching his accordion out all the way, his hip going to the side "would you like to hear a song?". Grinning at her, "maybe after we can hang out and talk". He didn't want to play just yet, because she seemed like his type of gal.
Jill hoped up and down once, clapping like a kid "yay, a new friend" smiling. Nodding, her charcoal curls bouncing with her. Jack started playing her a melody. It was a song he had made up, over the years. He picked bits and pieces from different songs he had heard. It was a haunting twist on carnival music. Slightly dancing with his music, Jill swayed with the music. Confused the melody reminded her of someone, it brought back a memory she had never seen before. She was singing the song, dancing with a young girl. Her clothing was colorful, her hair was different, her teeth were normal. It made her more curious as to what was going on. She kept on dancing, spinning around on her heels.
Jack played more, quickening his pace with the song. Jill decided she was going to show him, her carnival. She wanted to see if he had any good ideas for rides and booths that she could add. Perhaps more punishments, she started dancing and spinning around Jack. Bringing them to her carnival so when they stopped Jack would be able to see her carnival. Jack noticed that the place around them changed, wondering if this was Jill's doing, he stopped playing his accordion. Looking around, all around he saw red, and tools, and torn clothing around. He saw toys, toys everywhere. Jill stopped dancing when he stopped playing, watching his reaction. Jack peered around curiously, walking around, he liked the place it looked so fun. "Is this your place?" nodding Jill smiled and followed him "I spent a long time working on it, to invite friends over and play games". Giggling, "I always have the best o fun when they come over".
Jack looked at her, she was certainly amazing, she built a whole carnival of tricks. Everywhere he looked there was lots of things to play with, a table that would stretch a person so far as to inflict nerve damage. A table that would lower into a pool of boiling hot water. A house of mirrors, wondering what was inside. It looked like she just finished entertaining a group of people. "Wow Jillybean this is such a fantastic place! I can't WAIT to have fun here". Jill giggled when he called her Jillybean, it sounded sooo cute! Wondering if there was a nickname that she could give to him. She could not think of one, but when she could she will have to tell him. "We can play with people any time you want to, I just need to clean up, so that the newest playmates won't be afraid until the fun starts". So glad that she finally had a playmate, the lonely feeling faded a bit, replaced with a crush, on this new handsome stranger who loved to have fun.
Having more energy to play, more excitement, she was no longer bored. Now on the hunt for more lonely people to play with, wanting more fun. So be careful if you ever hear carnival music, you don't want to end up as their new plaything.
