The Pumpkin 5 Chapter 6

             Three hours after Sally talked to Jack, Sidney came home pissed off, because her boyfriend dumped her. Heading up to her room she passed her parent’s room. The door was slightly opened. She looked inside and saw Sally sleeping. Sidney closed the door and let her mother sleep. As she walked into her room she noticed Zero, who was floating behind her the whole time. Sidney smiled at him. She reached in her bag and pulled out her algebra home work. Zero whimpered.
“Zero I can’t play now.” She whispered
Zero floated slowly out of the room. Sidney got back to her home work as she listened to her Nightwish CD. Sally woke up a few minutes later, and wasn’t to long before Jack and Shawn got home. Shawn sat the dinning room table and started his homework. Jack found Sally on the couch watching Ghost Hunters. She looked at Jack and smiled. Jack smiled back and sat next to her.
“I feel sorry for the ghosts on this show.” Sally said
“Yeah, me too.” Jack giggled.
Shawn was writing an answer on a worksheet when he heard the Invader Zim theme song playing in Sidney’s room. He put down his pencil and sighed.
“I have loads of homework and I won’t be able to watch Zim with Sid.” He complained.
Jack looked over to him.
“You can watch one episode. Then you come right back. Kay?” he told him.
Shawn smiled and bolted up stairs. He entered his sister’s room and sat on her bed next to her.
“Hey, little bro.” Sidney greeted him.
“Which one is this?” Shawn asked.
“Germs.”
“Awesome!”
Back down it the living room, Jack and Sally were talking quietly about their phone call.
“So did you check?” Jack asked.
“Yes I did actually.” Sally replied.
           Sidney came down stairs to get some soda. She never really listened in on her parent’s conversations but she couldn’t help but eavesdrop.
“So, what did it say?” Jack continued.
“It was positive. I really am pregnant again.”
“That’s wonderful!”
Sidney was shocked. She dropped the unopened cans on the floor. She quickly picked them up and hurried back to her room. Half way up the stairs, Shawn walked out of Sidney’s room and headed back down to finish his homework. As he walked down past his sister, he grabbed one of the sodas from her hand. Sidney watched him sit back down at the table. Zero came up to her with a ball in his mouth.
“No, Zero.” She said.
Zero became irritated by the fact that Sidney wouldn’t play with him. He floated away. Sidney went back to her room and opened the window. She stepped out and climbed down the side of the house. Once she got down, she started heading for the graveyard. Just after few steps she heard a sound. She backed up slowly, and then bumped into someone.  It was Shawn.
“Hello, Sidney. Where are you going? Hm?” he asked suspiciously.
Sidney turned around.
“Uh…? What are you doing?” she asked nervously.
“Taking out the garbage. Why?”  
Sidney kneeled down to Shawn.
“Ok. You obviously know I’m running away.”
Shawn nodded.
“And do you know why?” Sidney continued.
“No, that’s why I’m asking.” Shawn replied.
Sidney looked around.
“Can you keep a secret?” she asked.
Shawn nodded again.
“You can count on me.” He said.
“Ok… Mom’s gonna have a third baby.”
Shawn smiled big, started jumping up and down with excitement. Sidney stopped him. Then Jack walked out the front door.
“Hey Shawn! Come back in, dinner’s ready!” he shouted.
Shawn and Sidney walked back inside with a deep secret inside them. Hiding in the bushes listening to Sidney and Shawn us none other than, Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
“Mister Oogie Boogie must hear about this if he’s going to be king of Halloween.” Shock said.
“Yeah. Ever since we brought him back, he wanted to be king.” Barrel added.
“So we gotta rid this town of those two and the baby.” Lock said.
They giggled, hoped out of the bushes and ran back to their clubhouse
