Jack began thinking. He often did, when he was bored. His thoughts finally led to when he first laid eyes on his beautiful wife Sally. It was one of those memories that made him smile just thinking about it.
He had been walking around town, just to make an appearance and chat with the citizens. He'd been in a bad, falling down type neighborhood when her heard sobs. Jack's nature caused him to not like sobs unless he had caused them. He looked over and saw a beautiful creature crumpled on the curb.
He walked up to her and held out his hand. "There there, what seems to be the problem.?" he hated to see creature's cry, unless it was caused by fear of him. She looked around, as if he couldn't possibly be talking to her. "Yes, I'm talking to you!" he couldn't help but supress a small laugh. "Oh, I'm lost. I need to find these places, but somehow I ended up here." She handed him a list. She was not anywhere near any of these shops, but he was too polite to say that. "Would you like me to take you there?" he asked. Sally looked a bit startled, like this was something new. Jack held out his arm to walk her. Sally stared at it as if she had no idea what to do. "Oh, you loop your arm through it, like this." he gently moved her arm to the correct position. "There we go, better?" he said gently. He didn't want any more sobs.
Along the way, Jack learned her name, where she lived, and then he asked her why he hadn't seen her before around town. Sally go really nervous and tense all of a sudden, and mumbled something about the doctor kept her busy. Jack saw right through that, but he didn't want to touch a sensitive subject.
Jack felt himself falling for her. She was quiet, and thankful, and just a nice person all around. She was definately not like the rest of the single women of HalloweenTown, who all crowded around him and who interests were definately less than innocent. He led her to all the shops, and escorted her home. When he took her home, he had to make small talk with the doctor for a while, and felt a little self conscious when he caught Sally staring at him. The doc told her to pay attention and said she was a good for nothing wretch. Jack did not believe this for a second.
"No no doctor. Everyone's good for something." he said.
"Jack, you ought to get that hole in your suit repaired." the doc said quickly.
Jack looked down and saw that indeed, he had a bit of a gaping hole in the side of his suit. Curses. he thought. "Bother, I can't sew to save my life. do you know anyone who can doctor?" Suddenly Sally spoke up. "I can sew." she said. Jack was overjoyed.
"Really? Marvelous! HalloweenTown has been needing a seamstress for ages, and I could use a good tailor myself." It was true, he had plenty of suits that needed mending. "Would you be able to fix this Sally?" he asked. "of course." she said confidently. He couldn't help but grin. "You really are full of surprises." he said admiringly. Then the doctor began shuffling him out. But Jack was a dramatic person, and he wanted Sally to remember him right. "Until we meet again, dear Sally." he said, and kissed her hand. She had blushed and turned a deep red. Jack thought it made him sound mysterious and interesting. He bowed, and closed the door. He could have sworn he saw a face watching him from a high window, but it must have just been his mind playing tricks on him.
Well, now you've seen both their sides of the story. I hope you all enjoyed it. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!!!
