James tried to get some sleep in the town hall (Which was utterly impossible, go figure), because of two things:
How he was going to get out and...
Who killed his mother.
James tried to wrestle these thoughts out of his mind. Perhaps the skeleton would help him out...
(The next morning)
"Wake up. Hey, wake up!!"
James yawned as he rose from the bench.
"Y'know, that bench you made me sleep on..."
"Yeah, yeah, it's uncomfortable."
"Can I go home now?"
"I have to know where your home is." James looked up. He saw the same skeleton he saw when he came out of the well.
"You mean you're going to take me home if I tell you where I live?"
"Precisely."
"Uhm, I actually don't live anywhere."
"What do you mean? Everyone has a home, don't they?"
"I ran away."
"Same like me." The skeleton looked up. "This place is been my home for over ten years. I appreciate the citizens who brought me in."
"Ten years? That's a long time."
"So where do you want me to take you?"
"I'd actually prefer to stay here." James sighed.
"You would?"
"I would if I could."
"You definitely could. My name is Jack, and welcome to Halloween Town."
"My name is James. Thank you for taking me in." Jack just winked. James was starting to like him.
