I am a huge fan of the nightmare before christmas and I just had to write this story of how Jack and Sally had first met. It's not really great-but it was good by what my friends had all said! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Halloween
Sally and her twin brother, Seth, were sitting in their living, staring blankly into the television. Today was Halloween, and the last one before their senior year in high school. They were going to make this Halloween the best they have had yet! Sally and Seth were waiting for their parents to leave for the mayor's Halloween party hosted at his grand home, unfortunately, it was only for adults. Finally, their parents entered the living room in their costumes-vampires. The style of a vampire was very popular this year, from what Sally had noticed through the window.
"Now kids," Their mother began, "no late night tonight. We will be back around midnight or possibly later, but either way, you are to be in bed when we return. Understand?" Her voice was muffled a bit by the false fangs in her mouth.
"Yes, mom." Sally and Seth said.
Once their mother had explained the rules of 'if the parents leave the house for a night', pointed out the money for pizza, and gave them the usual sheet of contacts in case anything went wrong, their mother and father left for the party. After Sally and Seth made sure they were gone, they dashed up stairs into Sally's room. They stopped at Sally's closet where she dug out their costumes. Sally slipped into the rag doll costume she had made and went to the bathroom to turn her body blue and add paint-on stitches to her arms and legs. Seth was buttoning up his father's old lab suit and splashed red paint on it to make it look like blood. He and Sally worked a long time to get blood on his face, without making it smear, and once they were done, they admired their work. Seth was being the mad-doctor who had created Sally-the daughter of Frankenstein.
After tee-peeing houses, the twins sat in a empty park on the swings. They hadn't gone tirck-or-treating because they had thought they were a little too old for it. "So what do we do next?" Sally said. She was staring at the ground, thinking.
"How about the Woods?" Seth pointed in front of them.
"No thanks, it's getting a little dark--"
"Hang on, my sister, my sister, is too scared to go into a forest in the night? I thought you loved the dark time! But, I guess not..." Seth rose from the swing and began walking toward the street opposite the woods. A hand was on his shoulder,he spund around to find Sally.
"Not on your life." Sally walked the other way into the woods, with Seth on her heels smirking the whole way.
