Jack: BOO!

Jol: AAAA! Jack stop doing that!

Jack: Hehehe sorry Jol but I just wanted to, its funny when you scream.

Jol: Well stop. You know darn well I don’t like being jumped scared…

Jack: I know but your just an easy target best friend.

(Jol frowned and closed his book, getting up as he walked away from Jack.)

Jack: Scaredy Caaat~

Jol: Shut up jack.

(Later in the after noon Jack and his best friend  Jol  were setting the table  for dinner  as jacks mother came in with mashed potatoes and sliced  carrots)

Mrs.stellington: So have you two had a good day at school?

Jol: No…

Jack: Yes

Mrs.stellington: Well that’s good that your doing good Jack and for you Jol, what’s the matter dear?

Jol: I had a fine day until those jerks ruined it…

Mrs.stellington: Were they calling you names again?

Jol: yes and they picked on me because I have a best friend  that’s freakishly tall and peculiar…no offence buddy.

Jack: none taken mate …really feeling the acceptance here.

(jack crossed his arms)

Jol: sorry but its true.

(During dinner jacks father was talking about the revolutionary war and about the military.)

Jol: the Revolutionary War well don’t get me started on that because all its about is the initiated by delegates perhaps  thirteen American colonies in Congress against Great Britain over their objection to Parliament's taxation policies and lack of colonial representation.

(jacks father was impressed with Jol and then made a thinking look expression on his face as he was thinking of something.)

Mr.stellington: hm…well I have decided something for jack…

Mrs.stellington & Jack: What decision?

Mr.stellington: Jack my boy, you are going to the military.

(Jack was shocked and not so pleased with the idea)

Jack: W-what?

Mr.stellington: You heard me boy

Jack:…But why?

Mr.stellington: To straighten you out and get your mind off of Halloween and your head out of the clouds so starting tomorrow you’ll be going to the military.

Jack: Father I have class tomorrow!

Mr.stellington: I’ll let them know. Decision has been made so don’t even bother arguing with me boy…

(jack stood up from his chair and glared at his father and left the table)

Jol: I’ll go talk to him Mr.stellington.

(jack gets up and runs to speak with jack)

Mrs.stellington: Your  being to hard on jack you know

Mr.stellington: He has to fit in somehow hun.

Mrs.stellington: By sending him to the military is way to far dear…at least accept who he is …(she gets up from her chair and walks away leaving her husband alone.)

Jol: Jack…are you alright?

Jack: do I look like I’m okay Jol…he’s sending me to the military for goodness sake its like he makes all my decisions and likely to say what I can and cannot be or do…its not fair…

Jol: I feel sympathy for you. Mate…he’s your dad what else does he expect of you…your human, your different, anyone can be different out their in the world. who cares what he or what everyone says I like you for you and that’s what matters buddy. They need to understand and accept the fact that your different.

(Jack felt better and looked at him with glee then hugs his best friend.)

Jack: What would I ever do without you dear friend. Your one of any kind of friend I could ever ask for.

Jol: Awww I’m-hehe-flattered buddy thanks that means a lot.

(jack smiles at him)

Jol: Well its getting late I should head back before my mother gets worried.

Jack: Alright tell her I said “hi” will you.

Jol: Sure thing jack I’ll see you tomorrow bye.

(Jack waved bye to him and goes inside into his home. Jack goes upstairs to his room and gets a box from under his bed. Once he gets a box from under his bed he opens the box and picks out ragged clothes and a mask that looks like a pumpkin with a creepy grin expression on its face.)

Jack: Time for some scaring.

(later at night when his parents where asleep he sneaks’ out of his window and was wearing his scary costume then runs out to scare some people but he has to be careful so he doesn’t get caught. He would have to be patient and hide in the darkness so he could jumps scare. ) 

Jack: BOO!

Man: AAAA!

Woman: AAAA!

Jack: Hahahaha!

(The couple ran as if they where running for their lives. Something caught his eye when he saw a group of  boys who where hanging out next to a building but recognizes those boy. They where the  bullies that picked on him and his best friend jol so he had the perfect plan to scare the living pants out of them. He walks towards them from the bushes.) 

Boy #1: G-guys….

Boy#2: What is it mate?

Boy#3: You look like you’ve seen a ghost.

Boy#1: L-L-Look…..

(the two boys look and their jaws dropped in shock to what they where seeing)

Jack: The pumpkin man doesn’t like bullies like you!

The three boys: AAAAAAAAAAA!

(They ran as fast as a cheetah could run.)

Jack: that’ll teach them.

(The next morning. Jack was waken up by his father.)

Mr.stellington: Time to wake up Jack. You have a long day ahead of you.

(Jack groans and stumbles out of bed tired. He gets ready for the day and packed his uniform his father left for him and packed some other things like his journal and some books or some casual clothes. He even packed his creepy costume.)

Mrs.stellington: Are you alright Jack?

Jack: sorta…

Mrs.stellington: I know this is something  you don’t want to do but I think he’s wrong for this…I tried to talk him out of it but he just wont change his mind dear.

Jack: Don’t worry mother I will be alright I promise you that.

(She smiled softly as she gets a chair, steps on top of it and  hugged her son)

Mrs.stellington: Your so brave my son…so brave. Please be safe and don’t forget to write letters to us.

Jack: I will mother.

(Jol comes in and sees Jack and runs to his best friend to give him a hug.) 

Jol: Goodness jack am I going to miss you buddy.

Jack: Same for you…I’ll miss you all.

Mr.stellington: C’mon on Jack we don’t got all day>

Jack: Coming!

Jol: come home alive will you.

Jack: Will do Jol. Bye everyone!

(They waved bye to him. Jack goes with his father onto the carriage and puts his bag in the back of the carriage then hops on the front seat next to his father. As his father was riding, Jack noticed a lot of men or boys his age leaving their families to go to the military camp. Jack felt sad for them to have to leave their beloved homes and entering into someplace dangerous. When they got there Jack hops off his seat and gets his bag as his father looked at his beloved son who was his only child of the family.)

Mr.stellington: Now you listen here. I wish you lots of luck ok my boy. Make sure you listen to your commander and don’t get distracted you hear.

Jack: yes sir …

(His father hugs his son. Jack was surprised to have gotten a hug from him which felt like forever. Ever  since he was a kid his father had tough love towards him, he raised him to be brave and to be a good leader but was that enough for him? He never knew this side of him.)

Mr.stellington: Don’t do anything reckless that will get yourself  killed….be safe.

Jack: Don’t worry…I’ll do just fine.

(his father smiles a little and nodded, He goes on his carriage and leaves. .Jack enters the camp and felt a unsettling feeling of eyes watching him in surprise.

He heard whispers and giggling from behind him as a man approached him.)

Man#1: How’s the weather up there!

(some of the men laughed.)

Jack: The weathers great. Thanks.

(the man and the other men laughed at him until a tough looking man approached him.)

Tod: My name is Tod, one of the commanders of this  camp. What’s your name son?

Jack: My name is Jack Stellington with a T not a K sir.

Tod: huh…strange but interesting. Come with me I’ll show you to your tent. You’ll be sharing one  someone since their aren’t enough tents for anyone to camp right now.

(He fallowed him to his tent when he saw some men that looked like they just got back from a battle. He even saw those who where injured from the battle that they came from. When they get to the tent Jack puts his bag on the bed. He sees a man in the same tent with him writing in his journal. The commander left jack alone with this man.)

Man: Hey there kid. Welcome to the war zone.

Jack: War zone? What war zone?

Man: heh…well kid this is the revolutionary war that’s what makes this a war zone.

Jack: oh…

Man: yep.

Jack: My name is Jack Stellington with a T not a K.

Theodor: nice to meet ya Mr.stellington I’m Theodor Williamson.

Jack: well nice to meet you.

(The commander was yelling for the troops and the other men that had just joined into the military.) 

Tod: Alright. The rest of you troops  already know this but the newbies don’t or probably have heard this but I’ll be explaining anyways about the revolutionary war that’s going on. Those who just got here today are about to know this now. The Revolutionary War began with the confrontation between British troops and local militia at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. What’s the reason for this war to have happened, well, initiated by delegates from the thirteen American colonies in Congress against Great Britain over their objection to Parliament's taxation policies and lack of colonial representation.

(There was a lot of chattering going on. Jack didn’t know what to feel at this point from hearing what the commander had said.)

Jack: This isn’t good…

(After training all day. later In the afternoon. Jack was writing a letter to his family as he gave it to the mail man who will receive to send his letter to them. He gets up from the bed and walked out of the tent and goes and sits next to a tree, looking at the sunset.)

Theodor: Hey are you comin’ for dinner?

Jack: no, no  thank you.

Theodor: Ok that means Ill just have to sit with you then.

Jack: That’s fine.

Theodor: So tomorrow where going to fight the British. Jeez Its going to be one bloody day…

Jack: yes…But I’m not the type of person to attack or kill another being. I’m not right for this kind of thing…

(Theodor puts his hand on his shoulder.)  

Theodor: Yeah I know but at least you’re here to know that your doing is the right thing.

(Jack looks at him.)

Jack: you really think so? Sure were Stopping the  Parliament's taxation policies and lack of colonial representation but what about the violence…violence seems to be planted in their heads to push the British’s limits to stop what their doing that’s making the others upset. Its just not the answer to any situation.

Theodor: Your absolutely right kid but it just seems like they think that the only way to get what they want is through violence to stop something. I don’t know…its just the way the world is kid I don’t know what to tell ya.

Jack: Hm…

(Theodor gets up and walks to the tent to get some sleep as jack gets up to. The next morning Jack was woken up by his roommate Theodor.)
