It was night like any other, the moon was full and the clouds slowly glided in front of the moon and all the citizens of Halloween town all arrived at the city hall as Jack was about to discuss the plans for next Halloween. The crowd took there seats, the Mayor walked up to the huge light on the second floor, flashing the lights on the curtains. They opened as Jack stood on the podium in the center of the stage. Jack said "Ladies and Gentlemen Ghouls and Witches of all ages, I have brought you here to explain the plans for our next Halloween, any ideas?"

"How about the witches that have bats come out from under children s beds?"

"Nice idea, but not what I was thinking about...I was thinking about a theme park, but not just any theme park, it will be a theme park that will lead you into the deepest, darkest parts of your dreams muwhahaha!" he laughed evily as he looked at the frightened expressions of the crowds faces. "Great idea Jack, ok everyone lets begin!" announced the Mayor. The curtains closed as they cheered to there king. "(Sigh) they still don't understand oh well...tomorrow will be different, oh I better go see Vanese she will be worried" then right when Sally was going to talk to Jack (her crush) Jack pushed the button on his bat bow, teleporting them to his hometown. (The hometown he lived in before he died). When they got to his hometown, Sally saw that she was with Jack soon after running behind a tree.

It was dark outside and all the lights in the house were off except for Vanese's house. Jack approached her house, but before he did he saw a boy of eighteen years old. He came up to her door soon after Vanese answered the door, She was wearing a shirt that showed her stomach and jean w/ a belt. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. They walked inside her house. Jack put out his arm and said, "Vanese...why?" he looked at the ground. He began to walk away with his head limp. "Poor Jack..." said Sally as she was watching him with sadness. The next morning it was a bright sunny morning not a cloud in sight. Jack stretched his arms and yawned, he got up off the ground and walked to Vanese's house, Sally was up as well and therefore followed him. She once again hid behind a tree, Jack walked up to her house and rang the door bell "Ding dong!" "Coming" he heard a voice, it was Vanese. "Jack! Your back!" she throw her arms around his skeleton neck, with a smile.

He grabbed her arms and removed them from him, he sadly looked at the ground. "What is wrong?" asked Vanese.

"Vanese do you love me?"

"Of course why?"

"Then why were you with that other man?"

"Well..." she replied.

"I am sorry Vanese, but it is over, you hurt me and now I can't be with you... besides I have also found someone else" he began to walk away.

"Jack wait! I am sorry...please don't go...it's just your dead and I am alive" he was about to leave when Sally ran out from the tree.

"Wait Jack!"

"Sally?!" He reached out his arms to grab her around her waist.

"Ok lets go, goodbye world for I am Jack the pumpkin king!" he smiled evilly, teleporting back to Halloween town. Vanese stood there as she had tears run down her face, as she watched her old love Jack the pumpkin king leave. "Jack...come back...please" she cried kneeling to the ground. When they got back to Halloween town, he turned and looked at Sally as he was holding her hands, Sally blushed as she looked at him holding her hands. "Sally, did you see all that?"

"Yes...Jack sorry about her..." she said looking at the ground.

"It's ok Sally don't worry I'll be ok, because my heart stopped beating long ago..." he turned away, letting go Sally's hands, his head limp, he walked back to Halloween town in sadness.

Later that day Sally was trying to find away to leave without Doctor Frinkenstien seeing her leave, she slowly creeped out the front door without him knowing. When she got outside she went to the pumpkin patch, where she saw Jack standing on top of Spiral hill as the moon glowed around him, Sally went behind a tombstone that read (RIP) and watched Jack. Jack sat down on Spiral hill and said, "Vanese why? Why did you hurt me? I remember the day we met just like it was yesterday, I was a boy of sixteen years, I was at my locker and I turned to see you as you glowed walking down the hall and I watched you pass me. You held books in your arms, you looked back at me with a smile. I waved and when I thought it couldn't get any better after school I saw you again, when I was singing my melody she said, "You sing beautifully!" she blushed. "Hey want to go out with me? But first you must sing me a melody" she smiled as she grabbed my hand. "Alright this for you...My darling Vanese, If you don't mind I like you to be by my side, were we can gaze into the sky, and sit together now and forever, for it is plane as you can see we are meant to be." Sang Jack. She smiled as she felt her heart beat. He went back to reality "But that was a long time ago...and now my heart is not beating, but I am seeing the emptiness in my heart" Jack sang depressed, he got up and left.

"Poor Jack...Maybe I can help find this other girl he likes, also find out why that other girl cheated on him?" she said as she ran back home. Meanwhile at Oogies place, Oogie was speaking to lock, shock and barrel. "Yes, yes the plan is work perfectly, now get ready for plan B, now go and make sure Jack follows ha ha ha" laughed Oogie evilly for his plan was about to unfold as Lock, Shock and Barrel left to began plan B. Meanwhile Sally went to her place to ask Doctor Frinkenstien if he new who the girl Jack liked was? She walked into the lab. "Doctor, may I ask you something?" she asked as she blushed.

"Who is the girl Jack liked?"

"The girl Jack likes? Why concerned?"

"Well...it's just I want to make him feel better..." she looked at the concrete ground. "Oh well, Sally I really don't know? Now I must get back to work and you should be worrying less about love" he replied, then turned his wheel chair and went back to his work. "Yes Doctor..." and she left. Soon after Sally left, Lock, shock and Barrel walked into the lab.

"Doctor do you have a human potion?"

"Why yes I do, but what for?"

"Just give it to us now!" they pulled out a potion to put him asleep as they stole the potion, exiting the lab and went back to Oogie's place.
