"Let me get this straight. You two are both sisters who were supposedly born in Valentine's Town, then find out you're obsessed with ghost stories and black clothing. So one day you two get into an argument with your mom and you run away." Jack was clearly confused.
Avakris looked miffed. "Don't kid yourself, King. It's a lot more complicated than a simple argument."
"Enlighten me then."
"Let's just say we found out that we were adopted." Avakris picked up a rock and tossed it aside.
"How'd you find out?"
"We have a half-sister." Zeriaon said.
Jack observed that they were both reluctant about bringing that subject up.
"JAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!"
Zeriaon jumped. "What was that?"
"The town's close by. Come on!" Jack sprinted off, with Zeriaon and Avakris close behind.
Halloween Town
Zeriaon, Avakris, and Jack arrived in Halloween Town to see a panicky Mayor running around the Town Square.
Jack retreated away and entered his house through the back door.
"Who was he?" Avakris asked as they stepped in.
"The Town Mayor."
"Why is there a Pumpkin King and also a Mayor?" Zeriaon sounded confused.
Jack chuckled. "Even I ask myself that question."
"What do you mean?"
"I wasn't the first Pumpkin King. Nah, there were Pumpkin Kings way before I ended up here."
"So the Mayor was here ever since..?" Avakris thought about Jack having to be around a really really old guy.
"Yeah. But we don't age as quick as humans do.
"Speaking of humans, you need me to take you back to Valentine's Town?" Jack offered.
"NO!" Zeriaon and Avakris chorused.
"Jack, are you sure you know what we mean by "running away"?"
Jack sighed. "Forgive me, I have a terrible memory."
"JAACK!" The Mayor knocked on the Pumpkin King's door.
Jack whirled around, surprised. "Go hide!" He hissed to the two girls. Zeriaon and Avakris ran up the stairs while Jack opened the door.
"Oh Jack, I was looking for you everywhere!" Jack acted surprised.
"I was in here the whole time, Mayor."
"Well, in that case, come over to my house to discuss the Halloween plans tomorrow at 8:00!" Jack sighed.
"Alright. See you tomorrow then." Then the Mayor left and Jack closed the door.
"Is he always that worried?" Zeriaon asked as the two girls ate.
"He's always been like that." Jack stared out the window.
"Why don't you knock him outta office?"
"Then the town'll think I'm a horrible leader! All the other Pumpkin Kings didn't have a single complaint about the Mayor; why does it have to be me?"
"I think the town thinks you're a great leader, Jack." Avakris put her plate in the sink.
"What makes you think that?"
"Because you're always trying something new!" Avakris replied.
"And what makes you think that the others could have done something new as well?" Zeriaon sighed. This wasn't going anywhere.
"Because you're the one who found out about the other holidays! You even tried out Christmas! Sure, it didn't turn out as anyone expected, but the entire town must've admired you after you came back."
"Well, I-Zeriaon, you're a genius!"
"Wait what."
But Skeleton Jack was already out the door.
