Chapter 2 ~*~ Lock sighed again as he gazed at the paper fragments of his speech laying

in his open palms, before slowly dragging himself over to the window and

tossing them out. White paper flakes fell out his window. Lock lazily turned

around and headed back to his bed, where his girlfriend, Shock, had left a

big bowl of chicken noodle soup. Lock sighed for the third time in a row

when he heard a shout.

"Snow!

"It's a miracle!"

"Amazing!"

"It must be a sign!"

The cries of the townspeople came loud and fast, one after another.

Puzzled, Lock headed to the window.

"But who is this great sign from"

"It...it can't be..."

"But it must be!" The townspeople were getting more and more excited with

every shout.

"Jack!" they all screamed together. Unaware of what was going on, too dazed

to comprehend the words, Lock headed to the window of his seventh-story

dorm room and peered out.

Dead silence filled the air as the 'snow' floated to the ground. Lock, his

red hair messy, looked onto the astonished villagers. "It must be!" the mayor, Marcus, shouted up to the confused Lock. Lock had no idea of what was

going on, he had not realized how much his paper shreds had looked like snow

to the barely-awake villagers.(ASGT: They need coffee!)

"It is!"

"Jack wants him to be the pumpkin king!"

"Hail to Lock, the pumpkin king!!"

"HAIL!" all of the townspeople shouted together. Lock took a step

backwards, narrowly missing Zero's tail, who scampered into the corner, and

regained his balance. He leaned out the window once more, a lock (A/N:

Again, no pun intended.) of his curly hair falling into his deep brown eyes.

A few witches sighed, amazed that this once little munchkin devil kid who

always played pranks turned into such a cute boy. Lock cleared his throat

and shouted down to the mass of people.

"Fellow citizens, I accept your crowning of me as the Pumpkin King. I would

be coronated right away, but you all know what today is, and we have to get

started. It's Halloween!!!!!! Now, I know that we all enjoy the spooky

version of Halloween, and also the jolly one full of color. But this year, I

think that we are gonna do something different." Lock knew that the pumpkin

king always introduced the theme of Halloween with a song, so the band

immediatly began to play a jazzy tune.

"Oh this year's gonna be a blast! It's really gonna rock!

For now you've got a new pumpkin king, and his name is Lock!!

The townspeople joined in when they felt it was nessecary.

Townspeople: La-hock!!

Lock:Yes, thats my name it's La-hock

Towns: La-hock!!!

Lock: Now let me tell you

Why this year rocks

It's gonna be a year

That'll turn back the clocks

Towns:The clo-ocks

Ooohhhoooo

The clo-ocks!

Ooohhoooo!

Lock:All right now folks just listen up,

You know that we found the christmas land?

Well now we've found a place and we've got a plan!

Look at this pretty pink shape

It is a symbol of love

And the holiday...

Valentines Day!!!!

"YEAH!" all of the townspeople shouted. Lock looked around, pleased with

how this was working out. Taking a deep breath, he assigned everyone a job.

His only hope was that he could pull it off.

~*~

THE END (of this chapter)!!! Next chapter coming as soon as my math teacher

lets up on the homework! (ASGT: Judy-Ann never let's us off! Get real Katie!)

Disclamer: I own the Valentine's Day idea...actually Brandy does...and I own

the song... I own Marcus...thats about it...(ASGT: It should be St. Patricks day! Cause' It's closer to today, AND I already wrote Kidnap the Leaprechaun!)

R/R, PLEASE!!!!!!! *Looks all happy*

Sneak preview to the next chapter:

"Oh! How I love you!" Shock said, gazing into his light blue eyes. "But you

are sure you aren't too old for me?"

"I love you to my beautiful princess." said... (A/N: Censored, otherwise it would spoil the surprise!)

Lock stuffed his hand into his mouth to muffle the scream escaping his

lips. Shock...and him?! It couldn't be...but...oh no! When the arrow was

shot, something must have jostled his hand...or someone?
