From Freezing fire trucks in a jar to cutting yo-yos in half, Molly faces all toys torturements and is lucky non of her toys face the same. With more frustrations filled her guardian's mind, she feels the worst is yet to come.
Spook and Mum took a stroll down the streets at night, as the zombie band plays. Mum felt very sad.
"Thanks for joining me tonight. These last days feels so terrible, not in the usual way! Feeling bad about that goof up, not seeing our friend and all Ethan and Batty ever talks about is The King lack of appearance and hoping he hasn't died. He is a living dead! Oh, Spook! No fun for Mum!"
"Yeah, I hear you. The citizens only talks about him being all alone up there and locked away inside, as if they forgot he has Molly, her cat and Zero! Good thing my old man is away for the rest of the year. As if he doesn't complain about the town's behavior enough!" Mum stopped walking and faced Spook.
"Lets reunite with Molly!"
"I admit, you're right! We need to make our next move! We can't wait for her any longer! If only we have an excuse to do so."
Suddenly, a thump was heard behind them. Before Mum could react, Spook covered the mummy's mouth and turned them invisible. It was Sally, who clashes down! While a fall like that could normally kill a mortal, this ragdoll got up and casualty stitches her limbs back together. Spook hid Mum away and become visible.
"It's not everyday you see ragdolls fall next to you!"
"Cut it out, Mum! That was Sally!"
"Who?"
"Oh, Mum! She's the doctor's creation, a kindly ragdoll who has a crush on The King."
"Who knew something good can come from that old meanie!"
"Yes but, there's something else! In the original event, she was the sole citizen to was against him from his Christmas plan!"
"Well, now she has three!"
"Right, though I don't think she remembers either, making us having more advantage. Just like what happen before, I bet she's heading to The King's manor now to deliver her basket to him. So, what if we do it instead?"
"How would this stop The King?!"
"It doesn't! If we can secretly deliver this to Molly, we'll have an excuse to have her come down!"
"Genius, Spook! How are getting the basket from her!"
"Leave it to me!"
The zombie band shown her directions, as they caught up to her, just about to reach the gate.
"Hey, are you Sally?" She faced the boys.
"Oh, hello! I don't think we ever met."
"We're Molly's friends! I'm Spook and this is Mum!" Mum happily waved.
"How nice! Molly is such a dear child. A friend of hers is a friend of mine."
"That's great and all but, can we have your basket?!"
"Huh?" She was confused. Spook pushed him back.
"Mum, don't be rude!" He faced Sally. "What my friend is trying to say, we saw you clash down and was wondering if you needed help delivering your basket. I can fly very high!"
"That's thoughful of you. I guess I could, only if I can witness you from below. I do want to see Jack receive it."
"Lets hope Molly gets it before him." Mum mumble under his breath. Spook pushed him back even more and reface her.
"Oh that mummy. He likes to ramble things!" Mum pout.
"Thank you for your kindness. Please be careful!" Sally handed Spook her basket.
Molly sat in a chair next to the window, watching Jack write a Christmas equation on a chalkboard. Her cat stares up at her, as she sighs.
"Math is one of my least favorite subject, but this equation is even more ridiculous! Hope he doesn't ask me to solve it. I need some outside air." She opened the window when, she saw a floating basket! "Huh, how am I doing this without my wand's powers?"
Spook happily revealed himself.
"Ha ha, got ya!"
"Spook! It's been so long! Was you invisible only to play a trick on me?"
"That and to make sure The King wasn't paying attention, so I can deliver this!"
"What is that basket?!"
"Don't you recognize this?" After a quick thinking, she got it!
"Isn't that Sally's basket like in the book?!"
"Yep, the very same!"
"Is Sally here?"
"She's watching from outside, it not like she can hear us from up here! We trick her to have me to deliver the basket. Molly, the reason for this is we need an update and our next plan!"
"Great timing! These experiments are killing me! I'll take the basket and meet you outside!"
"We'll wait by the gate!" Spook gave her the basket and flew down.
Molly stared at the basket, only to find Jack walking to her.
"My dear, I don't think your little brain can handle the equation. What is that basket you have?" No use of hiding.
"Sally brought it all the way up here by a rope and hook from outside! I just received it from the window!" She placed it on a nearby table, as they looked out to find Sally watching from below. Jack and Molly smiled and waved at her, as she did the same. Closing the window, Molly watches him examine the basket. Fish bone, small jars and bottles. He pop one cork open, as a illusional butterfly flew out and disappeared. They were both amazed. Molly then sigh, as she must leave,
"Um, is it okay if I can take a walk down the streets? I haven't been outside for a while."
"My dear, I think you did earn yourself a break. After all the work we did, It's fine by me. But, you only have two hours."
"Midnight curfew. I know. I'll be back before then. Come, Mittens the second!" She and her cat head down the stairs, as Jack went back to the chalkboard and sigh.
Spook met back with Mum outside the gate.
"Molly should be coming down at any moment."
"I can't wait to see her!" They saw Sally exit the gate, thanks the boys again and sat down near a wall, The boys watches Sally pluck pedals from a small flower. Only to turned into a Christmas tree!
"Pretty!" Mum gazed.
"That's a cool trick there!"
"It's the magic ability I have. It's meant for luck to Jack. Whats make him happy makes me happy!" Suddenly, the tiny tree caught on fire and roasted. All three had a bad feeling.
Molly heads to her friends, while her cat wonders off through the night. Mum had a big smile.
"Molly! It's great to see you again!"
"Shh! She's sleeping!" Spook shown Sally resting near the same wall. "Poor thing. After that experience, I hope she sleep well. Lets quietly head to the hangout!" The boys went ahead. Molly feels her pain and fear, as she went off with the boys.
"So, the citizens are getting reckless." The boys finish explaining.
"Yes, that what we know. What about you and The King. Most importantly, your hands!"
"Maybe she wants to be a mummy witch?" Spook bop Mum's head.
"I had a few accidents, I can still use my wand though! As for Jack. Playing innocent only got me into trouble, hint my bandages. What started as enjoyment turned into frustrations! Jack is determine to solve Christmas so more that, I feel I only get in the way."
"Don't be like that, Molly. I sure he cares about you. His mind is just stuck on the Holiday."
"Of course he cares for my safety and needs. I just wish he wasn't so clueless about me stopping him! Okay, lets get our next plan going!"
"Tell us!"
"I believe tomorrow will be the day he'll announce his plans to take over Christmas! At least according to the book and judging by our analysis!"
"So, I'm thinking we should stop the news for getting out!"
"Right, Spook! If Jack's words are not heard, he can't prepare his actions! So, here what we do! You and Mum lower the citizens away from his tower while I try to clear Jack's mind off of Christmas!"
"Molly, we saw the pretty ragdoll's flower! She grew a bright tree that caught on fire! It went from happy to sad."
"That her special skills, she can have visions of the future. It was also in the book!"
"See the future, are we too late?!" Molly sigh.
"Mum, have confidence! We're going to stop him! I'm going to make sure I can prevent him from causing another Christmas Crisis! I'm the child of the Pumpkin King! He got to listen to me! Now, will you boys help me?!"
"Of course we will!"
"Good, be by Jack's gate at dawn! We are going to put an end to this, I promise!"
