hey guys!! Thanks to musically and XxSweetNightmarxX,(who I thought had died) I'm doing this chapter!!!
Jake knocked on the Finklestien door. He had changed quickly, and the rest of the family left for the ball while he opted to get Suzy from her house.
After a minute, Suzy answered the door.
Even Jake, who wasn't particularly interested with girls, had to admit she looked wonderful. Her dress, although she had sewn it, looked more beautiful than any store-bought. Her hair was done up...it was quite a change from Suzy's usual attire.
Jake remembered his vocabulary. "You look ravishing Suzy." he said. Suzy simply smiled and shifted her feet. Jake took her hand and off they went to the ball.
Sally smiled when Sam and her date, Harry, went off. Jack frowned.
"Aren't they a little young?" he mummbled. Sally knew he was just doing his job as the protective father. "I think they'll be fine." she said.
The ball had not officially started yet. The musicians were preparing their music, the mayor overseeing everything. Behemoth was arranging pumpkins. And the Pumpkin King and Queen were preparing to open. As per tradition, Jack and Sally were to have the first dance. Sally however, was movementally challenged, so Jack was practicing with her a bit before the general public came in.
"One two three one two three...see Sally, you'll be fine." Jack assured grinning at her. Sally was concentrating on her feet movements. Jack laughed. "Why don't we just do what we do everytime?" he suggested. Sally glanced up. "You lead, I follow?" "Precisely." Sally nodded. "I think thats a good plan." she said. Jack laughed.
"Now where is our son?" Sally wondered.
"So Suzy, how did you get the doctor to let you go? Its not like him." said Jake as he and Suzy made their way through town.
Suzy looked at her feet. "Well...Jake, can you keep a secret?" she asked. Jake nodded. "The doctor didn't really, change his mind. I found an old jar in the back of the cupboard, and pored some of this plant into the doctor's soup. He just went to sleep." Suzy confessed. Jake frowned. "What plant was it?" he asked. "Deadly nightshade I think." said Suzy. That name rang a bell in Jake's mind. He had heard his parents joke about it before, usually around food. Jake's sockets grew wide.
"Deadly? Suzy...you didn't...you didn't kill the doctor did you??" he asked nervously. Suzy shook her head. "No no no...he's just asleep." she said. Jake nodded, then opened the door to the hall for Suzy.
