The Fright before Christmas

The Pumpkin King

Shout out to Invader Johnny

Ghost Writer sat in front of fireplaces as he wrote down some poems, he moved his glasses slightly and looked up. He smiled and put his notepad down and adjusted his glasses slightly, he moved slightly in his comfy red armchair.

"Welcome, everyone! And happy holidays! I'm so glad you could join me today. Today I have a special treat for you all….. A tale about a young ghost, who's recently began king but tries to live outside of his predecessor's shadow. Now! Enough talking and let's get to the story, please sit down and get comfortable."

Ghost Writer took a red velvet book from the small table which was beside him, he opened the book and went to the first chapter before looking back up.

"Our story beings in an alternated world called Halloween Town! Now this town is only a part of many but we'll get to that part later, so…. Where was I? Oh yes! Halloween Town…." Ghost Writer said licking his finger and turning the page.

Halloween Town

….

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

This is Halloween, everybody makes a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbours gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town, we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair

I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!

Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare

That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween!

Let us present the Pumpkin King!

He rules over Pumpkin Town!

He scares everyone around! The fright and screams!

Beware of our king!

The pumpkin king, Danny is his name!

He sneaks in the shadows, and will scare you!

He is the ghost of Halloween Town!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

In this town, we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

….

Danny leapt into the air and landed in a small fountain, he slowly rose with his hands across on his chest as he smiled at his fellow ghosts, who continued to sing their wonderful song. He smiled and extended his arms at them, he just loved hearing this song!

"Wow…. He`s sure amazing" Ember smiled as she claps her hands, while she stood next to a tree with two hanging skeletons clapping along with the rhythm of the music. She watched in amazement as Danny held the statue which was in the fountain, he lifted himself up and opened his hands to the other ghost below.

"That was a great Halloween!" Wulf shouted and clap his paws together

"Wonderful work everyone!" Vlad shouted and adjusted his tie slightly, "As mayor of Halloween town! I wanted to congratulate you, Daniel!"

"Thank you, Vlad," Danny said jumping away from the fountain and smiling at everyone.

"I wonder I he became the Pumpkin King?" Ember simply thought as she watched a few ghost congratulating Danny on another successful Halloween, "Danny so handsome….. but he would never go for a girl like me…."

Ember sighed softly and moved away from the tree slightly, she wanted to get a better look of this handsome man, who would never pay attention to her. She knew she could never have him compared to the women who surrounded him, but she could always dream of the impossible and watched from afar.

"There you are!" Technus said pulling Ember's hand, "I told you not to run off like that!"

"Let me go!" Ember said pulling against him, "I can do whatever I want! Why won't you let me do what I want? I want to see the world!"

"No, you can't! You've just arrived here and I'm responsible for taking care of you!" he said.

"I arrived here three years ago! I don't need you to watch over me anymore!" Ember said pulling back some more. Ember sighed as she tried to free herself, she used to live in the country of Halloween realm and decided to move to Halloween town. She decided to move in with a family friend, Technus, who agreed to take care of her and show this country girl around town.

"You're not ready to go out my yourself!" Technus said and pulled on her arm harder, "And stop putting sleeping drugs in my soup! So, you can simply sneak out!"

"Let go of me!" Ember said pulling away forcefully and managed to break free from his grip; Technus fell back and hit the ground, he groans and saw Ember had escaped.

"Damn, girl!" Technus groan and got up

"Thank you, everyone!" Danny said moving his hands slightly as he backed away slightly, as ghosts were starting to corner him.

"It was much better before you," Skulker said and crossed his arms, glaring at the young king, "He did them much better than you ever could"

"Oh! Be quiet" another ghost shouted

"Everyone! It's time to announce who won the prizes!" Danny looked up and saw Vlad holding his microphone, he held a small trophy and started to announce the winner for the most blood sucked. Danny sighed and saw his chance to escape, he quickly ran the other direction before anyone would be able to stop him.

"Fright Night... I could never live up to him…." Danny sighed and stared at the full moon, he only became king of Halloween town only three years ago after Fright Knight disappeared. But not before he announced his successor which so happened to be him, a few were against his decisions and were still against the idea of such a young king.

"Ugh…." Danny sighed while he walked away from the town, he walked through the cemetery, he stops for a second and taps his leg.

"Cujo," Danny said while he taps his leg once more. Cujo flew out of the ground and wag his tail, he quickly followed Danny and barked for him to play. He walked through the cemetery. He sang slightly as he walked through the gravestones, unaware Ember was hiding behind a nearby gravestone listening to him.

"He sounds….. so, sad…." Ember thought to look up slightly, watching Danny walked on top of a strange hill. She moved away from her hiding spot and followed him, she quickly hides behind a statue and continued to watch him. "What's wrong with him?" Ember moved away from the small statue and quickly ran towards him, but made sure to keep her distance since she didn't want to get caught.

Danny walked down as the mountain help him down, he sang some more and walked into the forest with Cujo right behind him. He shook his head slightly and disappeared into the woods; Ember stood up from her hiding place and stared at the mountain for a few seconds.

"Danny..." Ember mumbled, she felt sorry for him and didn't know why he was so sad? He was the Pumpkin king! So, why was he so sad? Ember walked towards two gravestones and bend down, she started to gather some deadly nightshade.

Technus laboratory

Ember placed the deadly nightshade into a jar, she quickly put the jar away when she heard Technus calling her name. she quickly closed the cabinet and turned to see Technus walking towards her, she smiled slightly and waited for him.

"Ember!" Technus said glaring at her, "You came back"

"I did….." Ember mumbled looking down slightly

"Come with me," Technus said motioning her to follow him. Ember sighed and followed him to his laboratory, she sat down and watched him do some experiments. "That's twice this week that you slip me that deadly nightshade in my tea! And ran off!" Technus said placing some things down.

"It was three times," Ember said

"Stop lying! I've taking you in!" he said and glared at her

"I'm restless! I can't help it!" Ember said sighing and sitting up

"It's just a phase," he said watching her, "You have to be patient alright?"

"I don't want to be patient…," Ember mumbled looking away, "I want to see the world! The human world!"

"Out of the question!" Technus said and shook his head at her, "You're safer here with me! In this home and away from the human world!"

"But the human world is so…. Interesting…. I want to explore it!" Ember said looking down slightly, "I don't want to be trap here"

"Nonsense!" Technus said and brushed it off, "Forget about this foolish dream of yours!"

"But…." She mumbled

"Now!" Technus shouted and crossed his arms

"Alright…" Ember mumbled sighing softly

Forest

Danny walked further into the forest and heard Cujo barking, he looked back and saw Cujo moving around.

"Oh…. Not now, Cujo," Danny said moving his hand slightly while he continued to walk further away. Cujo continued to bark and whined slightly, Danny sighed and picked up a stick and threw it. Cujo barks happily and quickly went to retrieve it, he returned to Danny and followed him while he held the stick.

Halloween Town – Danny's home

Vlad stopped his car and hump as he walked towards Danny's home, he held some papers which were tuck under his arm. He opened the gate and walked up the stairs, he humps some more and rang the doorbell.

"Danny?! Are you home?" Vlad asked while he waited patiently; Vlad raised a brow slightly and knocked on the door. "Danny? I got the plans for next Halloween? Danny! Please answer? I'm just an elected official I can't make decisions myself! DANNY! ANSWER ME!"

Vlad lean back to much and fell back, he hit the stairs like a ball would and hit the ground. He groans and looked up slightly, he touched his neck slightly and sat up.

"Where is he?!" Vlad whined and looked around

"He's not home," A ghost said while he glance at his friends

"What?!" Vlad shouted
