In the human world, Marnie and Sophie were learning some more magic. By their grandmother Aggie. She lives in Halloween Town so she doesn't get to see them much except last year. Where she stayed with them for two years when she and Marnie decide to go back to Halloween Town. That was when they had to save Halloween Town again. But now everything in Halloween Town is back to normal. Aggie return from Halloween Town once again. She can go back to the human world on Halloween night. And since tonight is Halloween she would spend a lot of time with her grandchildren. Her daughter Gwen is trying to be a normal person like all human beings. She does not like her children using any magic at all. Because she wants them to be normal like all human beings.
In Marnie's room Marnie and Sophie were learning how to use a magical staff. Aggie said to the girls "see dears, this staff us witches sometimes use to fight off bad monsters or warlocks. But it is very special and it is a hundred years old". Aggie is a witch and so is Gwen. But since Gwen just want's to be normal it's all up to Aggie to continue with her magics and spells. Marnie and Sophie are half witches so they can someday take over their grandmother's place. Marnie said "this is pretty cool, of how it's old but still looks new". Aggie said "I took care of it for many years". Sophie saw the tip of the staff flashing with sparks. "Grandma, why is the staff doing that"? Marnie look at the tip of it and saw sparks coming from it. Aggie looks at it with curiosity. "Hmmm, I don't have a clue dear. It never did that for so long. I am not sure why it is even doing that". Marnie shrug and said "maybe it is getting old it getting worn out or something".
Aggie shook her head and said "no, because it can never be worn out at all. Not unless a cruel warlock or a witch comes to distorys it". Aggie took the black staff from Marnie and examined it. Aggie said "well maybe later on I will see why it is doing that for". Sophie ask "where did you get it from grandma". Aggie turn to Sophie and she said "well I will tell you that later dear. Maybe I will tell you, Marnie, and your brother Dylan before you three go to bed". Marnie gave a odd look at her grandmother as if she was saying "what are you hiding from us that we don't know". Aggie smiled and said "why don't we go back downstairs I think your mother is cooking something good". Sophie yelled "yay! I bet it is pizza"! Sophie ran down the stairs and Marnie came following behind her. Aggie put her staff into the brown bag and soon follow behind Marnie.
Later on at night all the kids were getting ready for bed. They knew that their grandmother is going back to Halloween Town. They are sad to see her go but knew that they will see her again in next Halloween. Marnie put on her purple nightgown with purple slippers. Sophie had on her black and red kitty cat pajamas on. Then Dylan with his white T shirt and red pajama pants and his black glasses on came into the room. Dylan said "hey if you're wondering why I'm in your room Marnie is because grandma sent me in here". Marnie said "whatever just come in". Dylan came in and he sat on Marnie's bed. Then Aggie came in with her red and golden dress on and a red cape on. Sophie saw Aggie and ask "so are you going to tell us of how you have found that staff"? Marnie said "yeah, grandma tell us about it". Aggie said "that is why I am here. I know your mother do not like me telling you three about Halloween Town and such but I am going to anyways". Both girls sat on the bed and all three of them listen even though Dylan was not really paying any attention to Aggie's story.
Aggie clear her voice and began her story of how she first got the staff. "have you ever wonder where all holidays have come from? Well there is another world that is separated from Halloween Town. It is the same short of town but a lot different. They have a ruler name Jack Skellington. And he is like their father figure like to them. They all count on him for making Halloween a special time of the year. I and your mother use to go there all the time. My best friend Jared Stems lives there and I am pretty sure he still does. The last time I saw him was that his son Mitty and his wife Crystal were both killed by an evil shadow. But thankfully Jared killed that evil shadow. But now he has to raise his only grandson Friday. But I also heard that Jack is married to a rag doll name Sally. But that was the last time I ever saw them. Now I live in the other side of Halloween Town. I don't get to see the rest of my friends anymore".
Sophie ask "why not grandma, why can't you see them"? Aggie said "because dear, there are two parts of Halloween Town. One is where I live and you three know about and the other part is where I am telling you about and you three never been there before". Marnie ask "so why do you do your magic and go there"? Aggie sigh and said "see Marnie, it's not that simple really. There was a path way where you can go to both worlds of Halloween Town. But ever since that shadow came and almost destroyed the town. Jack and the town people had hide the path way so that no one can go to ether worlds no more". Sophie said "oh, that's so sad". Aggie nodded and said "but that staff I show you girls. I got it from Jared himself when I last saw him. He told me that it has been in his family for so long and so now I will keep it until Friday is old enough to have it. So I had it ever since". Marnie ask "was I born when you met Jared"?
Aggie thought a minute then said "for the matter of fact yes, you were at least maybe 3 or 4 at the time. How I know that? Because Friday should be the same age of you by now". Marnie thought was pretty cool that Aggie's best friend's grandson is the same age as she is. Dylan rolled his eyes and said to Marnie "great looks like got a friend on the other side other than the human world". Marnie look at Dylan and said "oh will you just shut up". Dylan mumbled and just turn his head away from Marnie. Sophie said "I wish we can go there". Aggie smile and said "maybe someday dear". Aggie got up and gave all her grandchildren a hug and then left along with Dylan by her side. He went in his room and he got on the bed and fell deep asleep. As for Marnie and Sophie they could not stop thinking about what their grandmother had told them about.
