Ch 5

Dead Again!

After falling asleep for about an hour still connected, Jack's door bell screamed them awake.

"That's got to be the Mayor," he said looking down at his love.

Sally opened her eyes and looked over Jack's face features and he did the same.

"You're beautiful Sally," he smiled.

"Not as beautiful as you Jack," she blushed. The bell rang again.

"Jack you home?" called the Mayer from the other side of the door.

"One moment!" He called pulling himself out and moaning at the friction as his manhood shrunk back to normal (as being alive can get), "You're going to have to talk to him for me."

"Right," Sally stood and dressed listening as the Mayer complained about how long Jack was going to keep him waiting.

Jack ran back to his room, feeling it was the safe place at the moment and Sally opened the door.

"Sally?" asked the double faced man, "Where's Jack?"

"He's working on a project and can't be disturbed at the moment."

"Well go get him any way it's important."

"I can't do that."

"And why not?" his face turned over to anger, "He has other responsibilities other then whatever he's working on," he pushed his way threw.

"No! Jack!" she called in warning as the Mayer made his way to the Pumpkin King's bedroom.

Jack opened the door and walked out fully dressed in his old cloths and fully dead!

"Ah there you are my boy!" his face turned over to happy.

"Yup, just making some finishing touches. Now what can I help you with Mayer?" He looked to a relieved Sally and winked.

Sally took a deep breath, "I'm going home."

"Okay tell the doctor about his dye wearing off when you get back?"

"Sure," she smiled first to Jack then to the confused Mayer.

After some time had passed and the Mayer went home, Jack stopped by the doctor's house to see Sally; he brought a bouquet of black roses and handed them to her.

Sally was speechless, no one had given her flowers before, "What's this for?" she smiled widely.

"I just remembered what it was like to be alive and in love. So I looked for the most beautiful roses I could find," he paused to look into her eyes shining in the moon light, "for the most beautiful girl I could find," he said with his eyes half lidded. The doctor was watching from inside to see that Sally was not trying to sneak out again; he had figured out what had happened and knew it was imposable for it to happen again. He learned from the way Sally was caring on about her day and saw threw the lies she told.

Now that he could prove to be the right kind of person to watch over Sally, the doctor didn't mind allowing her freedom. Not to mention his precious Jewel, another creation of his with half his brain, was just better at taking care of him. Jack and Sally walked together after dark every night from that night on.
