The sky over Halloween town started to swarm with beautiful purple butterflies. Slowly the butterflies started to form into girl. However three mischievous children started to throw rocks at the butterflies. The butterflies continued to generate the girl.
"Hey see if you can hit one!" said Lock as he threw a rock at a butterfly.
"I got three!"said Barrel as he threw another stone at the butterflies.
"You idiots! I hit eight!" said Shock. She was about to throw another rock, until a tall and skeletal man appeared.
"Lock, Shock, and Barrel! Shouldn't you guys be practicing for our Halloween Spook-a-thon? Halloween is only a week away, after all. What are you doing to the butterflies?"said the abnormally tall and skinny man.
"Jack, we were uh going to do that right away! See yah!" said the three as they ran off as fast as they could while hitting and tripping each other.
"I guess they never learn," said Jack. "Hmm, who is this new face?" The girl finally regenerated herself and looked up to see Jack. She blushed and turned away. "So what might your name be?"
"Emily," said the girl who started to fix her hair pulling out the cobwebs.
"Well Emily, how did you get here? Normally we don't have new comers to Halloween Town. I am Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King!"
"Hi, I don't know why I am here. I kinda just flew in you could say,"
"Emily, I just know that you are going to fit right in! Here let me help you!" said Jack as he helped Emily up. Dusting her gown off she looked up at Jack. Suddenly the place where her heart used to be started to ache. Emily turned away. "Emily is something wrong?" asked Jack as he looked at Emily.
"No Jack, it is just-"
"Jack! The mayor needs you! It seems that he misplaced the schedule and needs you to help him write a new one," Emily turned and saw a pretty rag doll come towards Jack. As Jack and the doll talked kept Emily looked around, wondering why she was here.
"I am so sorry Emily, to run off on you like this, but the mayor needs me immediately!" said Jack as he ran off.
"Jack always seems to be running off somewhere. Oh! My name is Sally," said Sally as she smiled at Emily. "Would you like me to show you around town? I am sorry for the mess everywhere, but we are getting ready for the Spook-a-thon. It's a dress rehearsal for Halloween," said Sally as she and Emily walked into the town. Emily continued to look around. Emily then spotted Jack working with what seemed to be the mayor. "Jack always tries his best when it comes to planning Halloween, although some of his plans are ridiculous as they are great."
"Is that so," said Emily still looking at Jack as he worked with the mayor in the middle of town. The spot where Emily's heart used to be ached again.
