The Days of October
Chapter 2
Still looking for Zero, they were starting to run out of ideas. They thought of everything that they could. Sally was worried that Jack would never be the same, and Jack was worried that he would not find his friend ever again.
"We are still going to look, until Halloween if need be." Jack told everyone.
"Jack, we are going to find Zero soon, don't worry. We will definitely find him" Sally pleaded to Jack. She didn't know if she was right but it was the best thing to do at the time.
Jack started to freak out then, so Sally had to calm him down. "I told you, we are going to find him and he is going to be perfectly Zero normal. We are going to find him in time for Halloween and in time for the scare-a-thon."
"I know it's just that this has never happened to me before. I mean he is my best friend and I love him, I got him when I was just a finger bone. I hadn't even thought about a dog, or even being the Pumpkin King then. I just got a lot on my mind lately Sally, and this is the last thing I need on Halloween. It's not like I haven't got enough on my schedule."
The past few days Jack had been stressed out A LOT. Sally had had to calm him down every single solitary night. Since last Halloween, Jack had been behind on all his pre-Halloween decorating. And Zero was suppose to be helping him, but he had just gotten new friends and Jack had been letting him go float around with them.
Every second that Jack had not found Zero, he was getting more and more frightened that he would not see Zero again forever. "We have to look more, look in every single solitary crack that Zero can be in. We have to look better people we have to find him before Halloween."
"Jack we are looking the best we can. We are looking where ever he can possible be." Sally told him. She was starting to get aggravated that Jack was getting to into this. She wished that they would just find Zero for Jack's sake and hers. She knew that they were going to find him but she didn't know when. That was the whole question that would just float around in Sally's mind all day long.
She just wanted Jack to be happy on Halloween cause this was his suppose to be his funnest, scariest and they most AWESOME Halloween ever in the Halloween town History.
If they couldn't find Jack's beloved Zero, this would be the first Halloween without him. And if were into my thoughts to decide whether Jack would like it or not, I would have to say that he would be very mad and sad all at the same time. Like I said, Zero has been with him ever since he was just a finger bone. He would probably also give up being the king.
And if that would happen, no one would be the same. Not even Sally. Even the mayor was scared that they wouldn't find Zero in time for Halloween.
Jack had a feeling that they would find him in just a few minutes. But every time that hour hand rolled around on his watch, he got scared.
Jack always knew that when Zero went somewhere, he always told him, or left a note on a bone. But Zero never went somewhere without telling his beloved Jack. He knew that if he didn't tell anyone, Jack would go crazy and never would want to be that same again, and Zero likes Jack just the way he is.
Everyone thought that this may be the night that Jack, the King of the Pumpkin Patch, might change, might even change Halloween Town, FOREVER.
