Daniel and Sarah started to walk out of the library, when Daniel remembered something.
"Wait a minute!" Daniel said. He got out a huge container and filled it up with the liquid.
"If you want to keep looking like this, then you must drink one cup of this every three days." He said handing the container to her.
"Eww." She replied. "Well if it lets me stay here, I'll do it." Then they left the library with Daniel hoping that his dad wouldn't see him. His hopes were quickly dashed as he saw his father walking towards him and Sarah.
"Uh oh." Daniel said under his breath.
"DANIEL!" Jack said as he ran toward his son.
"Hey dad."
"Where have you been! You don't have any idea how much trouble your in! I swear…." But before he could finish his sentence Sarah stepped between him and Daniel.
"You must be Mr.Skellington!" Sarah said, giving him a strong handshake. "Daniel has told me so much about you!"
"Oh." Jack said, "I don't believe you and I have met."
"Well, I'm Sarah sir."
"Daniel, you never told me about…Sarah." He said with a suspicious look on his face.
"Well, I uh, I met her during my scare."
"Yeah!" Sarah said. "That's why he was so late. We just started talking, and he lost track of time."
"Oh. Well if that's what happened, I suppose I could over look it this time." Jack said. "But next time Daniel, keep track of time."
"Yes dad."
"Well it was very nice meeting you Sar…" But Jack was interrupted by his son.
"Hey dad, Sarah's parents are going to be out of town for a while, and I was just wondering since we have an extra room and all if she could stay with us."
Jack thought this over for a moment but finally agreed to it. "It would be a delight to have you as our house guest Sarah."
Sarah smiled a huge smile. "Thank you Mr.Skellington."
"Daniel why don't you show Sarah up to her room."
"Sure dad." So Daniel led Sarah to the tall lean house. As they walked inside, Sarah noticed the long winding staircase to the very top.
"'Out of town'?" Sarah asked.
"Well I had to say something. What, did you want me to tell the truth?"
"No." Sarah said.
Finally after what seemed like eternity they finally reached the top of the stairs. Daniel showed Sarah to the guest room, which she seemed to like.
"So you'll stay here." Daniel said. Sarah looked around a bit. The walls were black, and there were cobwebs in the corners, and a skull lying on the little shelf, along with a few books.
"I like it." She said. "Thanks for doing this for me Daniel."
"Hey you saved my butt twice, it's the least I can do." Sarah chuckled a little, and Daniel walked out of the room. The minute he closed the door he felt so feelings rushing through his heart and brain at the same time.
"Wow." He said, and with that he just walked down the hall into his room.
