ONE WEEK LATER
From that moment, everything went back to normal. Sally was cured, Jack was happy and everything was right again. But there was still one mystery left: just who had slipped Sally the Anti-Love Potion and why? To Jack, there seemed to be only one way to find out: call a town meeting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Listen everyone!" Jack called over the loud noise of the crowd's chattering.
A hush fell over the citizens of Halloweentown as Jack stepped up to the podium.
"As you may or may not be aware, Sally was slipped an Anti-Love Potion a few weeks ago. In case you don't know, an Anti-Love Potion locks away any romantic attachments you have to anyone in your life. We need to find the source of this potion, if only to stop it's effects from damaging anyone else. There is a cure, but we'd prefer it if there werre no more incidents."
The crowd started whispering, either discussing what they had just heard, or making accusations. Jack cleared his throat and began talking again.
"If anyone has any information, please come and talk to me, Sally, Dr. Finkelstein or the Mayor. If this whole thing was purely accidental, no charges will be made. That is all, thank you."
Jack stepped off the stage.
Well...maybe we'll finally get some answers. I'd better get back to Sally.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the citizens were leaving the town hall, Jack felt a tug on the back of his jacket. It was the Small Witch.
"Oh, hello!" he said in surprise.
"Um, Jack...I need to tell you something," she said.
Jack looked around to make sure no-one was eavesdropping. "Go on," he said.
Does she know...
"I did it."
She WHAT?
"But I didn't mean to!" the Small Witch said hurriedly. "It was an mistake, I swear! You see, I was labeling bottles in the shop when I tripped and dropped all my labels. I picked them up, but some of them must have gotten muddled up, but I didn't notice. When Sally came in to buy some Worm's Wart, I sold her a bottle, but I think I might have accidently sold her an Anti-Love Potion instead. I checked in one of the bottles later, and it had the wrong label on it. I'm so sorry for all the trouble I've caused!"
"Oh, that's all right. As long as it was an accident and you didn't mean any harm, then that's all that matters! Now, I must get home."
"I should too. Goodbye, Jack."
"Goodbye!" I'm so glad that this is all over!
THE END

A/N: So am I, to be honest! Again, my apologies for the length of time between the uploading of chapters. Next time, I'm writing the whole story before I post it!
Thanks for reading!
