whew that was some fight with Oogie, wouldn't you agree? Heh. Just wait until She runs smack into him again… in her dreams… muhahaha!
-------------------------------------------------
Scarlet opens her eyes to Spicer staring down at her. She sits up with a groan and looks around. She catches a piece of paper that was floating towards her. She reads it. It says:
Ouch. Seems like you suffered from Oogie. Luckily, I was around when you fainted, and don't freak out if the bandage falls off- It happens to Sally all the time. She might help you if you tell her your problem. Anyway, I can't wait till you get better, and then we can finally meet (It wasn't that fun because people were throwing pumpkins everywhere.)
Yours truly,
Jack Skellington
Scarlet blinks.
"Who's Jack
Skeleton?"
Spicer turns his head a little.
"I don't know either. So we're even."
Just then, Spicer's ears flew straight up and he stiffened.
"Hm? What is it, Spicer?"
"That dog's name isn't Spicer."
Scarlet spun around and jumped up at the same time. She looked around. Nobody.
"That dog's name is Zero, Jack Skellington's dog."
She looked down. There were three weird looking kids. The first looked like a ghoul, the second looked like a scrawny witch, and the third looked like a devil.
"He's my dog, and his name IS Spicer."
"No. That's Jack Skellington's dog."
Scarlet almost started laughing when she heard the witch's voice.
"If it's Jack Skeleton's dog, how come I've never seen him with my dog?"
"It's Jack Skellington. Not Jack Skeleton!"
The ghoul piped up.
"Whatever. I don't care. What's the difference, anyway?"
The devil stepped foreword.
"Well, there's a SKEL in it and a TON… and that's the only thing that's the same…"
Scarlet rolls her eyes.
"WHATEVER! I don't care! This is my dog, AND THAT'S FINAL!"
Scarlet's yelling would have knocked all of them over if the scrawny witch clung onto the other two, but the devil was amazed!
"Wow! I nominate you for being the Pumpkin Queen!"
"What's is that and what are all of your names!"
The little trick-or-treaters just started laughing and they darted off. Scarlet sighed.
"Guess we'd better get home, Spicer."
Spicer barked and they headed back home.
-------------------------------------------------
When they got back into the town, everybody was crowding her. It all started with the mayor switching his "unhappy" face to his "other" face and him yelling,
"SHE'S BACKKKK!"
That's when everybody crowded Scarlet.
"We were so worried about you! And we still didn't get to see it!"
"What?"
"The knife, you dummy!"
The mention of the knife made her jump. She never really knew if she had it or not.
Was that the knife that saved me?
Do I really have it?
How could I, though? I broke it, right?
-------------------------------------------------
Can you guess what happened to the knife? Find out next in… the zombie! Ha, just kiddin'… that is SO not the name of the next chapter!
