Chapter 2
 

My mommy told me to go outside and play. She didn’t want me in the house, because the people in the house were fixing stuff. So, I grabbed my ball and head outside. I saw Laughing Jack standing behind a tree. I smiled and ran out to him. “Hey Laughing Jack, do you want to play some ball with me?!” 

He giggled crazily, “Would I!” he exclaimed happily. Another set of crazy giggles later, he got in a playful stance and said, “Kick it here.”

We played for a while until I got bored. Laughing Jack paused not even out of breath and seemingly out of nowhere pulled a hoof full of candy out of his pocket. He ate a piece and asked if I wanted any. 

“Sure,” I said, holding out a hoof. 

He dumped the candy out in my hand and he stared at me giving a sharp toothed smile. I unwrapped one of the colorful candies and popped one in my mouth. As soon as I did this he started laughing almost maniacally.  “Aren’t they good, Drake?” 

I was too busy sucking on the hard, deliciously mysterious flavored hard candy to open my mouth. So, I just nodded. 

“Drake, honey? Who are you talking to?” I turned around to see my mother. After I swallowed the piece of candy in my mouth I opened my mouth to speak. “This is Laughing Jack, mommy,” I said pointing my hoof to an empty space. I was surprised when I saw he had disappeared. “Well he was he-“

My mom cut me off, “Drake, who gave you this candy?” She asked, snatching it out of my hooves. 

“Laughing Jack, mommy,” I said, smiling at her. “Eat one they’re pretty good.” 

“No, Go inside, now!” Mommy yelled.

“But mom, I-“ I was again cut off by her.

“No buts! Get in the house, now!” She yelled at me. 

I ran inside my eyes tearing up, she was mean to me. I couldn’t have one friend without her being mean to me. I slammed my door and dove on my bed and screamed in a pillow.

Drake’s mom looked around the yard and sees nothing of interest. She walks angrily back inside and throws the candy away that was given to her young colt. 

Laughing Jack could barely contain his Laughter behind the tree in the yard. “hehe, I wonder what’s got her so upset. Oh bother, I wonder why so many parent do this the exact same way.” He broke off in an insane rant of laughter. “Oh joy, I think I might pay a little visit to my new friend tonight.”
