I hope everyone had a nice holiday! Here's an update!
The Meeting
All of Halloween Town stopped singing and started clapping and cheering.
Jack explained about how everyone did great, all of the kids were scared, blah, blah, blah, nothing special…this Halloween was their most horrible yet-
Pebbles couldn't contain herself.
She hopped out from the shadows. "What, did, like, little kids laugh at you or something?"
All of the inhabitants, including Jack, turned to face her, and gasped. The townsfolk whispered among themselves, about how Pebbles was not wearing a costume, she was a teenager (well, ALMOST), and, most importantly…
She was a living human being!
Jack grinned his most evil grin, walked up to Pebbles and bent down a bit to reach her level. (Surprisingly, Pebbles reached his waist, which was pretty good for a 12 year old girl.)
"And what is your name?" he asked sinisterly.
Pebbles poked his forehead. "I am Pebbles, the authoress!" She leaned forward, causing Jack to lean backward. "And if you don't bow down to me and give me a peanut butter and jelly sammich THIS INSTANT, I will-"
Jack's face turned normal. He frowned. "What kind of a name is Pebbles?"
Willy bounded out in true Wonka fashion. "But Mr. Jack, it's the bestest of the best name that's ever been!"
Jack looked to Willy. "Who are you?"
Cricket snuck up on Jack from behind and pounced on him. "IT'S WILLY WONKA! And I'm Cricket!"
Holli shoved Cricket aside. "Go away, that's my spot!" she laughed.
Jack was utterly confused. "YOUR name, miss?"
"Holli! Like, OMIGOSH! I wanna sammich too!"
Amanda let loose an arrow and caught the corner of Jack's bowtie. He jumped, but he hid it to save face.
She walked out. "I'm Amanda. Fear teh cape swishie!" She swished her cloak at Jack, shouting, "Swish! SWISH! SWISH, DAMN YOU!"
Erik swooped out. "Erik, monsieur," he said charmingly, grabbing Jack's bony hand and shaking it enthusiastically, loosing his character for a moment. FOR A MOMENT.
Pebbles gestured to the side. "And this is…" Her smile disappeared, and she looked to where she was pointing.
There was only thin air.
Pebbles, Erik, Amanda, Willy, Holli, and Cricket turned to the place where they had been hiding, where Victor was standing rigid, trembling slightly.
They said slowly, as one, "Victor…."
Victor walked out slowly, and stuck out his hand shakily. "I-I-I'm V-Victor," he stammered, managing a weak smile.
Pebbles watched as Jack's face alighted into a grin and knew what he was thinking. She walked up and flicked the side of his head. "NO."
Jack gazed at Pebbles with puppy dog eyes.
"I said, NO. Victor is off limits for scaring, for health reasons."
Victor laughed a little.
A sea monster spoke up. "Jack, come on! At least scare ONE of them, darling."
Jack, after surveying them and eyeing Victor enviously, he turned to Pebbles.
She smirked. "Go on, try me. See what you can come up with."
Jack returned the smirk, and made a relatively frightening face.
Pebbles yawned. "Nope, not good enough."
He tried a scream to go with the face.
"Still not good enough."
Jack, getting a little annoyed now, made a hideous face.
"You're going to have to try harder, dude. I'm not three."
Jack went all out. An absolutely, drop dead, gross, ugly face donned his features. He screamed, moaned, whatever.
A slight chill went up Pebbles' spine, but she ignored it, hoping it wasn't visible.
No one reacted, so the chill was perfectly hidden.
Pebbles stretched luxuriously, scratched her arm, and looked Jack straight in the eye.
"That's not scary. That's just weird."
Jack frowned. She's not afraid? Wow!
The town groaned collectively.
A little teeny witch piped, "That's okay, Jack. We still love you!"
The groans turned into cheers. They started to enclose Jack, who was becoming extremely uncomfortable.
"Fangirls!" Holli giggled to Willy, who laughed as well.
Eventually Jack broke free, and scurried into an alleyway.
As the group started to follow, Pebbles pushed them back.
"No. I'll go by myself."
A/N: I made up the peanut butter and jelly sammich joke. (I think….)
DO NOT STEAL!
Well, okay, you can use it, but…yeah, don't say you made it up unless it wasn't made up by me.
I'm confused...Can someone clear this up? xD
