YOUR BLESSING?
MY SECOND FAN-FIC! I want to thank ZoRo and LuNa Believer and Ember Nova for their incredibly epic reviews on my first fan-fic Daddy's Girl. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it!
Jack Skellington took a deep breath, and then knocked on the steel front door of Finkelstein Manor.
"The door is open!" Jack heard a voice say, he turned the door knob and stepped inside the mansion. Inside he saw a spiral ramp and at the top of said ramp, was Dr. Finkelstein.
"Oh, hello, Jack. I'm sure you're here for Sally. I'll get her." He turned towards Sally's room, knowing she had a date with Jack.
Jack stopped him, "Actually, Doctor, I came to speak with you."
The doctor turned his chair to face Jack. Jack had something on his mind, he could tell. "Alright, my boy. Come into the living room and we'll chat."
Jack followed the doctor into the living room and sat on the couch. The doctor turned to him, letting him know he had his full attention. "What's on your mind, Jack?" although he already had a pretty good idea.
"It's about Sally, sir." Jack said
"Yes?"
Jack felt knots of nervousness tighten in his chest. He had practiced this many times before he left his house, but knowing that his and Sally's relationship was at stake by this one question made him feel like he was going to have a nervous breakdown. "I would like to have your blessing for me to ask for . . ." he took another deep breath, crossing his skeletal fingers behind his back for luck, "your daughter's hand in marriage."
"I see." The doctor said after moments of shock. Not just because Jack had asked for permission to propose to Sally, but he referred to Sally as his daughter. After the Christmas fiasco a year ago, Dr. Finkelstein realized that if he would have given Sally her freedom, she wouldn't have poisoned him to sneak out. When he told Sally his mistake and that she was to come and go as she pleased, their relationship began to grow from master and servant to father and daughter.
"Well, lad, before I answer, will you love Sally? Take care of her, honor her, treat her right?"
Jack responded immediately, "Until the day I die." (Or re-die. Whatever.)
The doctor gave a rare smile, "Then, lad, I give you my blessing. But, when will you propose?"
"Well, since today Christmas Eve" (Jack and Sally's anniversary XD) "and we have a date, I was thinking tonight."
"Then so be it." He turned towards the ramp and shouted, "SALLY! Darling, Jack's here."
Soon, Sally came down the spiral ramp wearing a long-sleeved, emerald green dress that stopped just a little above her knees with black and white striped tights and her signature black high-heeled boots. She had her hair fixed in a ponytail that had a bat bow, similar to Jack's bow tie, tied in it.
Jack was caught in a trance, "Wow, Sally you look great! Are you ready to go?" he asked holding out his arm.
She giggled, taking his arm, "Thank you, Jack. Yes I'm ready."
The doctor smiled, "Alright, you two have fun."
"Bye, doctor, I'll see you tonight."
"I'll have her home by midnight, doctor. Have a pleasant evening."
He merely waved as the two walked out the door as boyfriend and girlfriend, but would come back as husband and wife-to-be.
Jewel came out of the kitchen, after hearing everything, "Oh, darling! Can you believe it? Jack going to propose to Sally! She's worth it!"
The doctor smiled as he watched out the window, Jack and Sally walk to Spiral Hill that was frozen in place do to the snow. "Indeed, she is."
AWWWWW! HE'S PROPOSING!^^ I got the warm fuzzies in me while writing this story, hope you enjoyed it! I was thinking about writing an M-rated fan-fic J&S Lemon, so look out for it! R&R
