Rosaxi led me to Jack's house with a smile on her face. I smiled back. Jack greeted us with a big hug, then led us to a table.
"May I have a gigantic bowl of snake and spider stew?" I asked politely. Jack's jaw nearly fell on the floor. No one would dare finish a big stew all by themselves. Rosaxi poked at the Worm's Wart with her fork. I gobbled up my stew in delight.
"Can we trade?" She asked. I sighed and we traded dishes. After breakfast, Rosaxi asked Jack if she and I would go for a walk. Jack nodded and we two friends ran out. Sally patted Jack's shoulder.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Sally worried in thought.

Three certain children with costumes were in their playroom, cackling to themselves. Shock, the girl that was dressed like a witch, lifted up to a telephone and dialed a number.
"Lock, Shock, and Barrel! There should be one good reason why you three woke me up!!!" A raspy and jazzy voice shook the room.
"It's Akane, Mr.Oogie Boogie!" Shock answered.
"She's with a nobody named Rosaxi." Lock and Barrel said at once. There was a moment of silence.
"Heh, very interesting. Whoever this Rosaxi girl is, I hope she has luck. She'll need it soon enough." Oogie cackled.
"We'll get Rosaxi for you!" Shock hung up, then led her brothers to what seemed like a walking bathtub.

I strolled down the sidewalks with a jazzy beat. Rosaxi just looked at me. We then stopped at the Graveyards.
"Since we have the day off, I'll show you how to play poker." I said, grabbing dice and cards from my pockets. Rosaxi nodded, then I started my lesson. I showed her my lucky dice and Black Jack. We were having a good time, until my cohorts showed up.
"Akane!" Lock jumped on me. Shock was blushing as usual and Barrel was behind Shock.
"Rosaxi, please ignore these guys. They are troublesome. At least what are YOU doing here?" I pointed to the trio.
"He sent us to here..." Lock said.
"...Specifically..." Shock continued.
"...by name." Barrel licked a lollipop.
"Lock!"
"Shock!"
"Barrel!"
"Oh brother!" I rolled my eyes.
Rosaxi please continue...
~Akane
