Hey guys!!! This will be the last update for at least a week...I'm going on a trip!! Thanks to Mr. Oogie Boogie and Musically for the reviews!!!

When they reached home, Sally, Sam and Jake quietly got out. Jack slammed his door and stomped up the stairs to the door, flung it open violently, and then stomped inside. Jake gulped.

"You're in deep..." Sam murmered as the rest filed inside. Jake silently followed Jack and Sally into Jack's office. Sam shot him a sympathetic look as he walked to his execution. The door closed behind him.

The room was dark. There was one light on, focused on a chair. Jack motioned for Jake to sit. He did so. Jack glowered in the dark. He seemed to collect his thoughts. Then he spoke.

"Jake...you did not go to school today." Jack stated. Jake nodded slowly.

"Why?" Jack asked. Jake was bewildered...Jack was not playing fair. He tried to murmer something.

Jack glared. "Don't have a reason?" he asked darkly. Jake gulped, but said nothing. Jack nodded.

"Jake...what were you thinking??? Why on earth would you do something so idiotic??!! Do you think that its funny to throw away your future??!! Your crown can be stripped from you Jake...did you know that??? What would you do??? This is not a joke Jake." Jack fumed. Jake's eye sockets grew wide. He looked at his mother for, well, a relent. She stood in a corner. Her expression was impossible to read, a mixture of pity, angry, and disappointment.

"Jake..." Jack's voice softened a bit, "I know you were a bit talked into it, but you just need to be above that...expecially listeneing to Lock Shock and Barrel...I'm afraid we'll still have to punish you."

Jake gulped. There was just one thing that he couldn't deal with, one punishment too severe...

"You won't be going with me to the Human World." Jack finished. Jake's spirits were crushed. His jaw gaped.

"But...but..." he stamered. Jack shook his head. "You should have thought of that before you skipped school." he simply stated. Jake looked to Sally for a break, some help.

She shook her head. "Jake...you need to understand that skipping school is not a good idea." she said softly. Jake gulped for air.

"No...no...please Dad...anything else..." he pleaded. Jack was indifferent to his pleas. Jack opened the door and Jake went out. He moved stiffly, as if in a daze. Jack closed the door behind him.

Okay guys...really sorry...I know its short, but I barely fit in time to write this...perhaps one more update if I get alot of reviews...please review guys!!!
