A Frozen Rose
Twenty-Six: Meeting Hallow and April Fool
Jack rode the wind like no one else's business. It was fall already and she could feel her season coming soon. It was close to O' Hallows Eve and it was one of her favorite holidays, because of all the fun she got to have. Because it was the only time she got to scare some people, sure it wasn't good but it was fun.
#
The Spirit of Hallows Eve was having fun. Or he would have fun if his brother aka his best friend the April Fool would get a grip. They couldn't think of anything for this Hallows Eve at all and he wanted to do something big, something that hadn't been seen.
"Why don't you get a page of the book out of that spirit that has fun on your holiday?" Fool asked him. Hallow began thinking.
"Wait you mean Jack Frost, no one ever sees him." Hallow said.
"That is such a lie, the seasons have seen him, Old Man Winter, the Groundhog-you know the overgrown rat called him really bad names- I'm pretty sure Mother Nature and I've heard that Karma herself has seen him."
"You know for being a person of Mischief you tend to keep yourself occupied." Hallow said with a smirk.
"Like you don't." Fool said.
"I don't gossip as much as you." Hallow said.
"But, you do plus I heard the Guardian North is very impressed when Jack brings white Christmas for the kids to play." Fool said.
"Ooo…then maybe we should find Jack Frost to meet him." Hallow said.
"That is the spirit brother, let's get going." Fool said.
"Do you even know where to go?" Hallow asked.
"Duh, heard it from Vera the Spirit of Spring." Hallow touched his forehead.
"Please tell me you are not going after her in a romantic level." Hallow said.
"Does it look, like I want to be melted, her sister is Summer." April said
"Good, that should keep your thoughts out of your pants." Hallow said.
"That made you sound like the Groundhog." April said. Hallows eyes turned a very dangerous color in his orange black eyes.
"Don't ever compare me to that sexist." Hallow said.
"I'm not relax." April Fools said. They had seen firsthand what the Groundhog had tried to do to Karma a few years ago. They had no desire to see that again. "You know I heard Jack Frost almost made him fall on a river because he talked badly about Karma."
"Good." Hallow said.

Jack felt that O' Hallows Eve was here. She could see some of the kids bobbing for apples around in the village. She stayed in the sky trying not to bring frost.
"There he is." Jack looked up to see two approaching figures. She didn't recognize them, but she didn't trust many spirits. She had made friends, but she didn't trust many of them because she tended to see the Groundhog almost every year and he did not help her at all.
"Wind." She said and the wind began to move her.
"No wait." She heard the voice, but she didn't care she moved in faster. She was on top of her lake. She tended to forget there was a huge wall of rock. She was going to go above it, but the two figures were behind her. She turned around to see two boys. One of them had dark hair with an orange and black outfit; his eyes were a strange color a mix between black and orange. The other one had purple hair and seemed to have been hit with a rainbow for he wore almost every color. Both were on top of a dark cloud.
"Get away from me, I have done nothing wrong." She said.
"No it's not that." Hallow said, he stretched his hand. "Hello my name is Hallows Eve I'm the spirit of this holiday." Jack looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Jack Frost." She said. Hallow could tell the boy wasn't going to shake his hand, so he pulled it back.
"I'm April Fools." Fool said.
"What are you looking for me?" she asked.
"We wanted to meet you." Hallow said.
"Why?" she asked. Fool took the torch here.
"We heard you're a prankster." He said. "Being pranksters ourselves we like getting acquainted with similar souls."
Jack chuckle a bit at the exaggerated movements of April Fool.
"See I got him to laugh." Fool said.
"There has to be another reason." Jack said. Hallow scratched the back of his neck.
"There is well you see tonight is O' Hallows Eve and I have no trick this year I was hoping you could give me an idea."
Jack smirked; she had been hearing a lot of stories from the older people.
"I think I may have one." Jack said.
"Really?" the boys asked.
"Yes, I've been listening to some stories some Jack has been telling and I think it would be fun to play a trick on him."
"Oh do tell." The boys said.
Jack began to explain the story she had heard about a headless horseman roaming the town.
"Oh that is good" Hallow said.

In town the kids were getting ready to hear the story from good old Jack he was the town story teller. But he was also known for making things up everyone knew there wasn't anything scary about this town.
Good old Jack told the story of John Smith a settler in Burgess that had been a witch-it was not true- who had killed children in their sleep. And when he final had been caught the leader had demanded his head cut off. But not before he made a deal with the devil and trapped his soul in a pumking. His head was cut off and burned but good old John could not rest until he found his real head.
"So every night we hear the horse coming and the laughter…." Old Jack said. They began to hear the horses hooves running their way and all the children looked up from the fire. Even Old Jack. They saw a figure in black coming and when he got closer they saw the pumpkin head with fire purring out of his eyes and mouth. Everyone screamed and tried to run away.
'I want my head.' Hallow screeched from his seat. This was really fun hearing everyone being scared. Some of the kids even laughed at seeing Old Jack was more scared than they were. From the top Jack and April Fool were laughing their butts off at Old Jack's face.
"That would teach him to lie." Jack said.
"Did you see his face?" April said.
#
Later that night they still couldn't stop laughing.
"That was so much fun." Hallow said.
"I still can't get over his face." April said.
"The kids were laughing." Jack said.
"That was great." Hallow said. He and April turned to Jack.
"We want to thank you Jack and to tell you that every Hallows Eve lets meet wherever and we can plan more things to scare and have a good time." Hallow said.
"I would like that." She said.
