At the old brick school with lots of spiders webs on the school are lots of kids coming out of the school and going home for the day. All the kids went separate ways and the last three came out of the school were three friends. One is a human being girl who was adopted by the Skellington family when she was a baby. She wears a black dress with a white belt around her waist with a blue moon crest on the belt. She has blonde hair in a picky tail, also in the braid. She has unique green eyes that no other human being would ever have before. Her name is Violet Skellington. The other friend beside her is a mummy boy who has a white T shirt with a necklace that has a R on it. His real name is Matthew but everyone calls him by his middle name Ralph. Another friend beside him is a moth, she has black hair in the picky tail. She wears a purple with black dress, her wings which glows when it's in the light is brown and purple with black polka dots. She also has golden brown eyes, also she is best of friends with Violet. They were walking out talking and laugh once in a while. They walk till they reach to the mayor's house and soon the three friends depart from each other and went their way back home. Violet was happy and she walk all the way to her home and she came into the house.
Once inside Zero greeted her and he began to lick her. Violet laugh and said "okay Zero, that's enough". Then she heard a voice coming into the living room. Violet looked up to see her rag doll mother, Sally. Sally has long red hair, has blue fabric like skin, and she has lots of stitches all over her body. Her dress is a mix color pattern like. Sally greeted her daughter and walk her into the kitchen. Sally gave her some dishes and said "here Violet, take these down in the basement, I don't need those anymore". Violet nodded and she went to the door which is dark oak like door. She open it up and saw the dark creepy like basement. Violet turn on the switch of the light and she slowly went down into the basement. The basement was small but lot of cobwebs all over the place and a bit dusty. There were some boxes all over the place that wasn't use for a very long time. Violet shrug and she put the dishes on two of the bigger boxes. As Violet was about to leave she trip a little and caught herself on one of the small seven stacks of boxes. She got herself up when she happen to spot something green beside the seven little stacks of boxes. Violet curiously picked the green thing she saw up. Once she did she saw that it was a very old hat that she never knew of.
Violet smiled and she ran upstairs to show her mother the hat she had just found. It looks to be a farmer hat that was never use for a very long time. Once she made it back to the kitchen she show the hat to Sally. Sally was a bit shock and yet curious of why the hat was in the basement. Violet ask "do you think dad may have forgotten about this old hat"? Sally shrug and said "it may be possible, but you may ask him when he gets back home from his meeting". Violet nodded and ask "can I wear it"? Sally smiled and said "let me first clean it up some". Violet nodded and gave the hat to Sally and Sally went upstairs to wipe off the dust from the hat. Violet waited and finally after five minutes Sally came back down with a cleaner hat in her hands. Violet jump up and was happy to receive the hat. Violet put it on and Sally began to laugh. Violet look though the mirror that was near the steps and smiled. "I look like a real life farmer" said Violet. Sally stop laughing and said "you sure do, you look kind of funny in it". Violet giggled and said "can't wait for dad to see it". Sally left to the kitchen to get the supper ready. Violet went upstairs with Zero flying behind her. Sally kept wondering why was that hat doing in the basement and how did Violet found that hat.
Later on Sally got dinner ready for her, Zero, and Violet since Jack is going to be very late at the town's meeting. Sally call Violet down for supper. Violet came down with Zero flying behind her. Zero ate his food from the bowl while Violet ate her frog leg stew. Sally sat down and ate her stew. Sally left Jack's stew in the refrigerator so it can stay cold till Jack comes home. Violet ask "how long is this meeting"? Sally answer "oh properly another two in half hour". Violet ask "he will be home before I have to go to bed, right"? Sally said "yes, he'll be home before you go to bed". Violet gave a relief sigh and said "oh good, because I want to show off my new hat to dad". Sally giggled and said "oh I bet he can't wait". After breakfast Violet sat on the couch and began to read her book from her father's laboratory. More like a office for Jack since he use it like an office. After three hours Jack was pretty tired when he came home. Sally and Violet saw him and they both hugged him and Zero licked his master on his skull. Violet said "dad, I found something in the basement". Jack said "oh you did? Let me see it". Violet happily went up the stairs and Sally giggled. Jack looked at his wife and ask "what's so funny"? Sally said smiling "oh you'll see". Jack scratch his skull head and wonder what Sally and Violet were up to. Zero just float around the living room happily.
Violet came down the stairs and she had the green hat on her head. Violet said "see dad, I found it". Jack look up and he just stare at it in horror. Sally was concerned and ask "Jack, are you okay"? Violet ask "Dad, what's wrong don't you like it"? Jack shook his head and said "I have to go for a moment". Jack went up stairs and he went into the bedroom he and Sally share together. Violet ask "does this hat look that bad on me"? Sally knew something wasn't right so Sally had Violet and Zero stay down stairs while she go talk to Jack. Once Sally made it into the bedroom. She was about to go in when she heard Jack crying. Sally couldn't understand what was going on. She went into the bedroom and saw Jack had both of his bony hands covering his whole skull. Sally ask "Jack, what's wrong"? Jack shot up facing Sally and said "Sally, you scared me for a second". Sally shrug and said "sorry". Jack sigh and said "that hat belong to my father". Sally gasp and said "oh dear, I see why you reacted as you did". Jack nodded and said "I forgot all about that hat. I can't believe Violet would found it". Sally shook her head in disbelief. Jack look at Sally and said "Sally, promise me not to tell Violet anything about my father. I don't want her be curious about my father". Sally knew her daughter pretty well as Jack does. Sally nodded and said "I promise, but the hat"? Jack sigh and said "take it away from her. I don't want to remember of what happen to him". Sally nodded and she went back down stairs and face Violet.
Violet look up and ask "is dad all right"? Sally nodded and said "Violet, give me that hat". Violet did as Sally had told her to do. Sally took it and she went into the basement to put it back. Once she put the hat on some of the boxes, Sally walk upstairs and saw Violet giving her a question look. Sally sigh and said "don't ever bring it up again". Sally walk back into the living room to finish showing a dress. Violet look at Zero and said "I wonder why mom did as she did and why dad reacted as he did". Zero gave a question look at her. Violet sigh and said "oh well, I guess it doesn't matter". Violet walk back upstairs with Zero following behind her and into Violet's room.
