Sorry that this one is so short. It was difficult trying to figure out a story for this one, and even more difficult figuring out an ending to this one.
For some reason I have been turning each of these nursery rhymes into one big story. The original planning a different short story with each rhyme. But I guess it didn't end up that way
Nursury Rhyme: Old Mother Hubbard
Old Mother hubbard
Went to the cupbard,
To give her poor dog a bone;
But when she got there
The cupbard was bare,
And so the poor dog ahad none.
She went to the baker's
To buy him some bread;
When she came back the dog was dead.
She went to the undertaker's
To buy him a coffin;
When she got back
The dog was a laughing.
She took a clean dish
To get him some tripe;
Whe she came back He was smoking a pipe.
She went to the sempster's
To buy him some linel;
When she came back
The dog was a -spinning.
She went to the hoiser's
To buy him some hose;
When she came back
He was dressed in his clothes
The dame made a curtsy,
The dog made a bow;
The dame said, "Your servant,"
The god said, "Bow-wow"
Jamie woke up with a smile on his face. He was a teenager now, the same age as Jack was before he became a guardian.
Looking over his shoulder, out his bedroom would window he had a split second thought. It has been a while since the three of us actually hung out like that. I still find it hard to believe that jack hadn't practiced without his staff before. But I guess its something he always had, even before he was a guardian. 300 some odd years of having a staff around with me would definitely make me cling to it as well. So I guess I can understand why he hadn't given it the thought.
And with that thought Jamie walked out his bedroom door, and picked up his dog Aby. She has gotten old over the years. Yes Aby can walk perfectly fine down the stairs. But this morning Jamie was feeling overly happy. So he chose to carry her/pet her on the way downstairs to the kitchen.
Jamie could not finish his breakfast, he completely forgot about his apatite the second he felt a chill in the air.
"Hey, Jack" the brown haired ten said as he scraped his left over into Aby's bowl.
"How did you know it was me." The snowy skinned teen asked with a laugh.
"Really Jack? Every time you enter a room you make it at least a 10 degrees colder."
"I do? hehe, who woulda thought. That is so awesome did you teach your dog to do that?" Jack said as he points at Aby
"Do Wha...?" Pausing as he sees his dog Smoking his dads pipe.
Jamie Shook it off and took the pipe from Aby. And put it back in the living room by his dads chair where it was before.
But when he came back
Jack was just sitting there laughing at abby, as she was spinning in one leg as if she were a ballerina.
"Jamie, your dog is freaking amazing."
"I know I ave seen things most people haven't But this, this , is so... Amazing" he started with confusion and ended with excitement. "Anyways jack, what are you doing here? I thought North asked for your help around the shop today"
"oh, yea. I came to ask you if you and Sophie felt like joining me, since you guys have the week off of school"
Jamie and Jack went to get Sophie and left for North's shop through a magic snow globe.
