"Just right this way." The Jack-O-Lantern led them out the door after letting one of them get it since he didn't have any hands.
"Ooh." Mo smiled.
"You better watch it," The Jack-O-Lantern laughed on the way out as he hopped up onto a box once they were back out into the boneyard. "The last thing you want tonight are those good-for-nothing goblins coming after you, but I gotta give you props. The Goblin King's castle? What a riot. You guys are whacked. I love it."
"So, you'll help us?" Patch asked.
"Look, you guys crack me up, but I can't hang with you," The Jack-O-Lantern narrowed his eyes slightly as he was being cautious, but wasn't angry with them. "I got my own deadline tonight."
"What do you mean?" Winnie asked.
"See my candle?" The Jack-O-Lantern showed the inside of his mouth to them. "That's how long I got to get my Halloween on. Once it burns out, I'm burned out. You know what I'm saying?"
"Yeah, we get it," Mo frowned before remembering a Jack-O-Lantern from a Halloween story. "Say, you wouldn't happen to belong to a headless horseman would you?"
"Yeah, I'm so tired of working with this guy." The Jack-O-Lantern nodded.
They soon heard a horse neighing.
"Never misses a cue." The Jack-O-Lantern replied once he heard the horse which was very familiar to him.
"We better use the cards." Junior suggested.
"Those might help." Patch said.
"Shield of Safety!" Elsa summoned a card.
A knight with a shield soon appeared.
"Hide in the pumpkin patch!" Atticus said. "Quick! Act like pumpkins!"
"What?!" Cherry looked at him like he was crazy.
"I was talking to Jack." Atticus said.
"How do you act like a pumpkin?" Cherry narrowed her eyes.
"Just stay still and be quiet!" Atticus put his hand on her head and shoved her down deeper into the patch.
"Gee, thanks." Cherry groaned.
"Shh!" Atticus shushed her.
"I'll shush you..." Cherry glared.
"Be quiet." Mo whispered.
The Headless Horseman got off his horse and soon slashed against pumpkins looking for the one that was his and which would take him a long time. Junior looked for possible other cards to use while he waited with the others. Jack soon opened one of his eyes to see if the Headless Horseman was gone. The sword then slashed down right in front of them all which made Jack move out before he could be sliced like the other pumpkins.
"That was close." Cherry whispered.
"You hit?" Atticus asked her.
"Just some hair." Cherry replied.
"Come on then." Atticus nodded and moved over with her and the others before the Headless Horseman would slice them.
The Headless Horseman soon noticed Jack's glowing candle. He then got onto his horse and chased after Jack and the others. Sibella turned into a bat and then flew so it would be faster for her than just running.
"Atticus, quick, put this guy on ice." Mo said.
"If I must..." Atticus replied innocently at first before taking a deep breath.
The Headless Horseman was soon on his horse and was making his way towards Atticus. Atticus then breathed out as the Headless Horseman was coming and soon had icy breath as he laid it out in the way Superman taught him in order to catch a villain or enemy. And where the Headless Horseman and his horse were both soon frozen in place.
Atticus cleared his throat and smiled. "Excuse me."
"What species is that kid?" Jack asked about Atticus.
"Eh, he's kind of a one of a kind guy." Cherry shrugged.
"And we're all lucky to know him." Patch added.
"Yep." Mo smiled.
"Yeah, I guess." Cherry muttered even though she was the closest to Atticus out of all of them.
"Alright, to the bridge." Mo said.
The Headless Horseman struggled while stuck in the icy trap that Atticus had plagued upon him and his horse.
"And to the watered bridge we go." Junior smiled.
"Stay close to me, JJ." Mo warned her little brother as she held his hand, a bit protective and worried about him.
"Okay." Junior said.
The Grimwood girls stayed close together as well as they did a buddy system that their teacher taught them for field trips.
"Uh, Atticus?" Cherry asked. "The Headless Horseman is free."
"What?!" Atticus gasped. "How?!"
"I don't know..." Cherry looked nervous.
"We have to get across the bridge!" Jack told them.
"That always worked in the story!" Cherry agreed, before shrugging. "I dunno why, but it works!"
All of them soon passed the bridge.
"Can't get us now!" Elsa laughed.
Sibella soon came to the other side with the others and then turned back into her vampire form.
"See ya later, Headless Horseman!" Junior laughed. He then winced slightly as he felt something wrong.
"Are you okay?" Angel asked him.
"Just felt something bad..." Junior replied. "Like... I dunno..."
"We better hurry." Mo said.
Junior nodded as he followed his big sister.
