Hey people! Thanks to Musically for reviewing!! Means a lot! Anyway, heres the next chapter.
Sally stormed into the town hall. Jack smiled when he saw her, and moved to embrace her, then stopped when he saw her expression.
She was obviously upset. Jack racked his brain to think of what had gotten her upset...what had he done recently? He could think of nothing. To his relief, Sally stated it.
"Jack! Do you know of what the doctor is doing?" she said angrily.
'Oh, the doctor...' thought Jack.
"I haven't a clue dear." he said gently, no use in setting her off.
"Jake asked Suzy to the ball today, and the doctor won't let her go! And the worst of it is he has no reason!" she exclaimed. Jack couldn't help but grin. "Sounds familar." he said.
Sally frowned. "Jack I know its none of our business...but still...don't you think you could talk to the doctor? Convince him to let Suzy go?" she pleaded, fluttering her lashes and looking up at Jack.
Well, how could he say no to that? "I'll try Sally. I'll go talk to him as soon as the mayor lets me go." he promised. Sally smiled. "Thanks Jack." she said, and gave him a kiss. This was broken however, by the mayor's obvious cough.
"Ummm, I'll see you later Jack." said Sally, and she hurried out the door back home.
Jack sighed. Back to work.
Suzy sat in the kitchen, miserably peeling some rotten potatoes for the doctor's soup. Just another day. She sighed.
She added the rotten potatoes to the mix. Next she rummaged in the cupboards for some worm's wart. Darn Jewel, having to reorganize things everyday. And of course, Jewel was too delicate for chores, so Suzy was left to do them.
She was now to the back of the cupboard, still without worms wart, when she pulled out a dusty jar. She examined it, dusting off some of the dirt and grime that had settled on it. It looked like it hadn't see the light of day in a while. As she cleaned it off, she noticed writing on the side.
"Deadly Niiiiigghtssshhhadde." she sounded out. She frowned. What in the world was that?
"Suzy! That soup ready yet?!!!" The doctor called angrily. Suzy had no time for worms wart, so she threw some of the contents of the odd jar into the soup.
"Ready!" she called.
"I'm telling you Sam, you look fine." assured Jake for the hundreth time.
"Do you think I should wear the red earings or the black ones?" Sam asked. Jake groaned.
"I think you should talk to mom about all this dress stuff." he said, exiting the room. He ran into his mother, who seemed much happier than last time he encountered her.
"I took care of it Jake." she said, then went to help Sam pick out her shoes.
'I must remember to use that deadly nightshade more often.' Suzy noted to herself. The doctor and Jewel were sound asleep, snoring noisily. Suzy took advantage of this to go to town and buy herself a dress.
What the doctor didn't know won't hurt him right? she told herself.
Okay, I know I keep promising you Halloween ball, but I gotta get these chapters in...they're important later on. So, stay with me here...REVIEW!!!!!
