"Dad does the training get harder and harder each day?" Jack asked his father when he got home from training.
"Yes, Why?" jacks father replied.
"It's just that I'm so tired after I get home I don't even have time to go out on night walks or even look over plans for next Halloween." Jack complained
"You're learn to live with it" jacks father replied sounding annoyed
"Speaking of walks I'm going on one" jack said running out of the house.
Jack's father just turned in time to see his son run out the door. Jack ran toward the grave yard where he found Sally sitting next to the gravestone marked Deadly Nightshade. Zero was there and was playing hide and go shriek with Sally.
"Sorry I'm late " Jack said he fell down next to sally.
"That's ok . What happened to you? You don't look so good." Sally said looking at jacks tiresome attitude and the way his under eyes where turning dark from staying up so late from studying.
"Oh? That may be because I get up at 5 in the morning to go to pumpkin king training and leave about 11 at night. Then I have to study for about 4 hours after that then I go to sleep for an hour and get up and get ready! So I have a reason to look BAD!" Jack yelled.
"Sorry! I was just concerned about my only friend but I can see your to busy for me or any other friends!" Sally yelled.
"Look Sally I'm sorry but I'm just tired is all. That's why I'm so snappy today." Jack said
Sally looked him straight in the eye and said "Drop died again Jack Skellington! I Hope I never see you again in my life! With that see angrily got up and stormed out of the graveyard. Jack sat there for a moment and then got up and walked into the hinterland woods. Zero slowly floated behind him hoping everything would turn out alright.
