AN: This is my two shot Halloween story. It will be about two different times, as you will soon find out. Thanks for reading, and enjoy the story.
Quick Note: David will be 12, and Alex will be 11 in this chapter unless noted otherwise and in obvious situations where they will not be.
Chapter One: Halloween I: David and Alex
See, the thing is about Halloween...
Wait, how can I explain this? Well, let me tell you about it. The thing is, I have this friend, Alex. She is a wizard, along with her brothers, Max and Justin. The thing is, when she uses magic, she gets into trouble, a lot. She usually does it to make things go really smoothly, but being a somewhat inexperienced wizard, things often go haywire. Seeing as how it is close to Halloween, let me tell you about one time in particular.
All I wanted to do was rest and get better, but no...
Alex and her siblings were working up the shop that was set up for Halloween. Jerry and Theresa were working the counter as usual, dressed up as zombies, well Jerry was at that moment. Theresa was Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, and Justin and Max were clowns.
Fitting, Alex thought. She was dressed up as a witch, with a hat, some jeans, and a dress that resembled a witch.
She wondered when her best friend, David Falcone was going to show up. She looked up to see Louis, David's guardian come into the store. He went over to Justin and Max, and whispered something to the two of them, and Justin gave Louis a bag of candy. Louis went to talk to Jerry for a little bit, and was about to leave but Alex cut him off.
"Hey, where's David?" Alex asked him.
"He is at home. He got sick, so I came to get him some dinner and some candy." Louis said.
"Aww. I wanted him to come and see my costume." Alex said sadly.
"Don't worry. I am sure that he would have loved it. See ya, Alex." Louis said. Louis left, and Alex stood there, feeling kind of sad. She really wanted David to have a good Halloween, and now he can't because he is trapped at home sick.
Then she remembered David telling her that he wanted to see Jack Skellington wander around New York, but he was kidding. Alex smiled, grabbed her wand from her ankle, and wondered if she still had that Nightmare Before Christmas dvd...
David felt horrible. Not only because he was sick, but because he was missing Halloween, and Alex most of all. No doubt that Alex knew that he was at home, unable to visit their Halloween Party at Waverly Place. David sat up, and took a swig of hot tea that was left for him. He felt a little bit hungry and decided to go and get something to go with the tea that he had.
Only dressed in his pajama bottoms and slippers, David went to go and get come cookies that he had. He walked past the kitchen, past Villo who was trying to get his attention. He gave a wave to Alex and Jack Skellington, and went into his room to go to sleep.
Wait...
David bolted up, and exited his room quickly. He looked at his friend who had Jack Skellington with her. David walked towards the two, and just stared.
"Why, hello young man." Jack said in a friendly tone. David just stared at him, but then turned his attention to Alex.
"Alex, why is Jack Skellington in my house?" David asked.
"I wanted you to get a Halloween surprise, because I missed you at Halloween Party that we were having." Alex said sweetly.
David just sighed as he heard that. He really could not argue with that. Jack was busy walking around the house touching various things, and staring at Villo.
"What is this strange creature?" Jack asked.
"Wow, Skellington is calling me strange?" Villo asked. Jack just began to look around the place. David coughed for a few moments, and then turned back to Alex.
"We have got to get him back to your house." David said.
"Why? I thought that you want to meet Jack Skellington." Alex asked him.
"I would, but not this way. How would this end up if anybody sees him walking around outside, and if it was NOT Halloween?" David asked.
Alex looked around the room, and saw the front door open, and Jack was gone.
"Marvelous." David said. He went to his room, and came out with his hoodie and some shoes on. "Let's go and get him."
"Wait, I am coming too. I don't want you walking around without someone with you." Villo said, chasing them out the door.
"Wow, who would have thought that I would be spending my Halloween sick, and looking for Jack Skellington?" David said out loud, through coughs.
"Shut up and look." Villo said, looking around.
"How are we going to find him?" Alex asked.
"It's Jack Skellington, he is not exactly that hard to find." David said.
They basically were walking around the New York town that they lived in, and it was basically was a losing battle at that point. Just how were they going to find the king of Halloweentown while he basically was running around New York? The three of them at that point realized that it was a losing battle.
"I really wish that we knew what he is doing around here. Maybe we would have a clue if we could just figure out Jack." Alex said.
"Wait, stupid question here, but does anyone you know is dressed up as Sally for Halloween?" David asked, out of the blue.
"Mom, why?" Alex said.
"What part of the movie did you get Jack out at?" David asked her.
"The part where he was near a gate and it was snowing. There was a girl there too." Alex said.
All David could do at that moment was smile.
"I know where he is." David smiled.
Yep. David was dead on. David, Alex, and Villo looked into the window, and in all of his glory, Jack Skellington was putting the moves on Sally, or in this case, Theresa. Villo and David literally had to prevent themselves from falling on the floor with laughter. Alex ran in, and pulled Jack aside before Jerry would kill him. David and Villo entered the restaurant, giving Jerry an explanation.
"What is going on?" Jerry asked them.
"Well, Jerry, before you go ballistic, David here has something to tell you. David?" Villo motioned to David.
"Alex pulled Jack Skellington out of a movie so that she could give me a good Halloween, even though I am sick." David answered.
"Put him back, now." Jerry said.
"Okay." Alex said sadly. "Come on Jack."
"But wait...Sally." Jack said.
"Sally is upstairs, come on." Alex said, yanking the King with her. David went upstairs with them to make sure everything was alright.
"Alright Jack, I am going to send you back to Sally. Okay?" Alex said, taking out her wand.
"Okay, are you sure that this is going to work?" Jack asked her.
"I am sure." Alex said. She waved her wand, and Jack was right back into the movie where she had paused it.
"Well, I am sure that I can say thanks for a memorable Halloween." David said.
"I am sorry. I probably made you more sick by having you run around." Alex said.
"Don't worry about it." David said. "Hey, this is going to be a funny story to tell our kids when we get older."
"Yeah, like that is going to happen." Alex laughed.
"So, that is how it happened." David said. He had his 13 year old daughter in front of him. Since Halloween was coming up, Selena begged him to tell a story about Halloween, and he just told her about how they met Jack Skellington.
"Wow." Selena said. "I can't believe that you met Jack Skellington."
"Yeah, your mom is like that." David whispered.
"Thanks daddy." Selena gave him a kiss on the cheek, and went into her room.
Once she was inside there, she made sure that she was alone, and let a devious smile cross her face.
"Oh boy, I cannot wait to try that..." Selena smiled.
AN: Well, it seems that Selena Falcone, David and Alex's daughter, has got an idea to bring back Jack Skellington just like her mom did. In the next chapter, she will bring back Jack Skellington, and introduce him to her best friend. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more!
