It was a beautiful night in Halloweentown. Everybody in town was already asleep,except for a young skeleton girl named Maria Skellington.She hadn't been able to sleep for 3 straight days from mysterious wolf howls at night."Maybe I walk to Spiral Hill will clear my mind."Maria said as she slipped out of her pj's and into her red shirt and black jeans.
She quietly walked downstairs,trying not to make any sound to wake her parents or her sister up,and crept out of the house very quick. Maria walked through the streets of Town Square all the way to the Graveyard.
As she walked through the gravestones,Zero,the Skellington family dog,flew out of his grave and straight towards to Maria. "Hello boy."said Maria as she stroked his head.Maria had always loved Zero as company ever since she was alittle baby skeleton.
A hour had pasted,as Maria played with Zero until the Town Hall's bell was ringing the time 2'o clock in the morning.
"Oh man!It's 2 o'clock!I better get home before Father calls a search party!"Maria said as she gave Zero a pat on the head and started to ran towards the Manor.
As Maria ran through Town Square,something or someone bumps right into her.
"I'm so sorry miss,I didn't see where I was going."said the stranger.
"No I'm sorry,"Maria said,"I was in a rush to get home that I didn't see you...what's your name?"
"Mike's my name.Mike Wolfsbane."
"My name's Maria.Maria Skellington."
"Skellington!?It's a pleasure to meet you your highness."Mike said as he bowed in front of Maria
"Don't call me "Your highness","Maria said,"Just call me Maria."
"Oh,okay your...I mean Maria."Mike said as he started to blush.
"Thank you Mike."Maria said as he face also started to blush.
Then both Mike and Maria glanced at the Town Hall's clock,almost striking 15 minutes to 2:30.
"I better go before my parents find out I'm gone."Maria said.
"Yeah,my parents are strick too,they hate it when I don't come home at the crack of dawn.It was great meeting you Maria."Mike said as he took Maria's hand and kissed it.
"Same here."Maria said as her face was red like a hot pepper.
As soon as they both said their goodbyes,Maria started walking up the stairs to the Manor as she looked at the hand Mike kissed."I can't wait to tell Suz about what just happened."Maria said to herself as she quietly walked iniside the Manor.
