The next morning Violet got all ready for school. She look into the mirror and sigh. "Another worse day at school" Violet said softly to herself. She came down the twisty like stairs and saw her mother and her father talking in the kitchen. She sat herself down and eat her worms stew that her mother made for breakfast. Jack and Sally did not knew that Violet was there eating her breakfast. Jack was telling his wife about the plan for Halloween and Sally was giving her ideas to him. Of course Jack didn't quite agree of Sally's ideas at all. Zero had just flew in when he saw Violet eating her breakfast. Zero flew right to her and began to lick Violet's face. Violet began to laugh and said "morning Zero". Jack and Sally turn to see Violet getting lick by Zero. Sally giggle and Jack began to laugh. Zero stop licking Violet and flew to his dish to eat his breakfast. Violet smiled and saw her parents smiling at her. Violet said to her parents "morning mom, morning dad". Sally nodded and said "morning dear". Jack answer back to Violet "morning star shine". Violet finish up her breakfast and grab her backpack that was on the small red and blue table. Her backpack is green with blue stripes on it. She put it over her shoulder and was about to leave when her mother stopped her. "Violet, don't forget your launch". Violet turn to Sally and said "oh yeah, thanks mom". She took her brown bag and went off heading towards the school. She walk to the old brick building with lots of spider webs all over the building. A small fountain in front of the building, and a small stature of a figure that is a skeleton that has long hair, a long dress, and a small rose in her hand, not too far from the fountain.
Violet look around and then she happen to hear a boy's voice saying "hey Violet, great too see you again". She turn to see a mummy with a cross necklace that has a letter 'R' on it. Violet smiled and said "hi Ralph". Ralph nodded and ask "so you're not upset"? Violet shrug and said "I am a little bit". Ralph nodded and then that is when Sabrina came flying towards them and yelled "hey guys, I'm back"! Ralph pretend to laugh and said "ha, uh... yeah we can see that". Violet smiled and said "hey Sabrina". Sabrina smiled and said "hi Violet, another school day". Violet thought to herself "yeah, another horrible day". They all went in and since Sabrina is a year younger then Violet and Ralph she goes to a different class. Ralph and Violet walked in and there was Lydia and her two best friends. One is a vampire with a long red dress and black hair and her name is Olivia and the other one is a sea creature with baby blue dress and brown hair and green eyes, her name is Polly. Lydia saw Ralph and Violet and said "oh... look who came if it ain't the dude mummy and the ugly looking human girl". Ralph said "hey, that is utterly disrespectful and you know it". Violet sat down trying to ignore Lydia and the girls as best as she can. Lydia and the girls began to call her names and she try not to listen. Soon class start and to Violet that's good because Lydia and the girls have to be quiet. After four hours of class it was launch time. Violet was going to sit down by her friends when Lydia and the girls came up to her. Lydia said "well looks like dirt girl is super ugly after all". Violet turn to her and said "will you cut it out". Lydia ask "why? Isn't this fun"? Violet said "no, I don't believe it's fun and I think you and your friends should leave me alone". Lydia growl and said "no one talk like that to me". She grab Violet breaded hair and threw her across the room. Ralph and Sabrina got up and tried to stop Lydia but Lydia hit them and it knock both of them down. Lydia said "now you filthy girl". She was about to paunch Violet in the face but Violet got out of the way on time and Lydia hit the wall that it cause pain in Lydia's paw. "ow... that hurts". Olivia and Polly ran to Lydia and saw her damage paw that the wall had cause. Lydia growl at Violet and yelled "you evil brat! You've cause this and now you'll face my rage when I get better"! One of the teachers heard the commotions and ran out to see Lydia was hurt. The teacher quickly got Lydia to the office along with Lydia's friends, Violet, Ralph, and Sabrina.
Once inside the office all the kids except Violet began to tell their side of the story of what happen. Violet kind of stay out of the office but could hear everything of what is going on. Sabrina and Ralph try to reason with the principle who is a ghost with a black and red suit and brown bow tie and has glasses on. But the ghost believe Lydia and her friends side of the story. The principle said "I am sorry but I believe Lydia and her friends may be telling the truth". Ralph said protesting "but Mr. Boomer, we are telling the truth. Violet is a sweet gentle kind of girl and she won't hardly hurt anyone". Mr. Boomer raise his voice saying "enough! You, Sabrina, and Violet will have to clean the bathrooms and rooms for the rest of the launch and recess hours". Sabrina try to say something but Mr. Boomer told her to be quiet. Violet began to cry and said to herself "I knew that everyone here hates me". She ran out of the school building and ran crying towards the graveyard. Mr. Boomer said "now let's see... huh"? He relies that Violet was gone. Sabrina and Ralph knew where she could have gone to. Mr. Boomer ask "where's did she go"? All the kids shrugged and Mr. Boomer said "all right then, I'll call her parents along with yours and Lydia we have someone take you to see Dr. Finklestein". Lydia nodded and the girls were sweet talking to Lydia. Mr. Boomer said to Ralph and Sabrina "you two sit there. Once I have someone take Lydia here I'll call your parents including your friend's". Mr. Boomer, Lydia, Olivia, and Polly walk out of the office and left. Ralph look at Sabrina and said "I hope Violet isn't going to run away". Sabrina said "yeah, me too". The two kids sat there worrying about their friend Violet also getting in trouble for no reason with their parents.
Meanwhile Violet stood on top of Spiral Hill. Her mind was outrage and confused of why Mr. Boomer took Lydia's side and not her's or her friends side. She thought to herself "I know why. It's because of me, I'm a human being". She stood there just wising that all the creatures would at least understand her. She began to sing as her father once did when he wanted to find something new for his ideas.
"There are those who deny at what I am like
For I am only a human being for being royal
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
My family and friends make me happy ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of their ghost like charm
They always do their best to cheer me up
With my little talents to try to scare out of you
I'll do the best to scare the bravest off their feet.
Yet, time after time, everyone has been so mean
And I grow so weary of being the outsider
And I, Violet, the Pumpkin Princess
Have grown so tired of this name calling from everyone
Oh, somewhere deep inside of my heart
An emptiness began to grow
There's something out there far from my home
That I am longing to be accept
I'm a master of songs and a demon of light
And I can be scary right out of your tail feather
To my dismay I will condor up a storm
And I will be known though out of all the world
And though I may not be dead, I can weary the scares out of you
To recite Shakespearean quotations
No animal, nor man or women can scream as loud as I can
With the fury of few of my recitations
But who here would ever understand
That the Pumpkin Princess with the finest grin
Is tire of all the pain inside, if they only understood
She'd do anything to be friends with them
Oh, there's an emptiness inside of my heart
That calls out for someplace to be
The tease and rudeness comes year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears".
Violet sigh and look towards the Hinterlands. She nodded and said to herself "I am going rather anyone likes it or not". She waited for the Spiral Hill to twirl down for her to walk down. As it curl all the way down, Violet ran down the hill and she ran towards the Hinterlands. She stop to see the Spiral Hill twirling back to it's original position. Violet frowned and she turn and ran deeper into the Hinterlands.
