3 weeks later. Jack woke up on a sunny Saturday morning and decided something.
“I’m going to try and talk to Lisa a little better this time.”
He thought about where to meet her next. His finger tapping on his forehead, he thought with all his might. As Jack paced in his room back and forth, he finally thought of the perfect place.
“Sorry mom got to go!” He opened the door to his room and ran through the front door as fast as he could. He went looking all over town, back and forth until he finally found it.
“The perfect place to meet!” Jack said in an energetic voice. He ran forward as fast as he could and knocked on the door to a small tea shop.
“Excuse me, can I come in?” he asked. The door opened and Jack stepped in. He didn’t talk to anyone because he didn’t know anyone from around here. He sat down on a table to his right, a table with two seats. Then Jack thought of the perfect idea on how to invite Lisa. He quickly grabbed a napkin and began to write on it. Without anyone seeing him, he transformed into an owl.
He grabbed the napkin with his talons, and flew out a nearby open window. As Jack flew over town, he saw the orphanage, swooping down he slipped the napkin into the mail slot. A few minutes later Jack returned to the tea shop as his human self. He sat down back at the table and waited for Lisa.
The minutes ticked by slower and slower as Jack waited. Then as he was just about to give up on his attempt, the door creaked. He jumped up in excitement as Lisa stepped in. Finding his table she sat down on the chair next to him.
Jack said in a quivery voice, but one that was more steady than the last time, “I bet you’re wondering why I wanted you here. I wanted to start this whole meeting thing over, since, well…it kind of went a bit weird last time. So no shape shifting, but I will show you something that I have found.”
Jack held out a small green stone.
“My mom gave me this stone, it was my Dads. It was said that the person who held this stone would be the one to find a special treasure. Even though, we have just met, I have a feeling that you and I are connected to this stone. 3 weeks ago when I first saw you, this stone started glowing. It had never done that before and it hasn’t done it since.”
Lisa reached out to hold the stone, just then the stone began to glow even brighter than it did the first time.
