Well, this is a pure humor fic I wrote just for fun. Jake and Sam are sixteen. Enjoy!

Jake Skellington was bored. Wait, that was an understatement. He felt like he going to cry from lack of interest.

He was sitting in a desk at school, carving various pictures and saying into the flat dull wood.

"Mr. Skellington!" called the teacher, a real stiff of a corpse. Jake shot her his innocent angel grin.

"Yes, Ms. Gallows?" he said sweetly. She glared. "You have failed to turn in your research paper." she stated.

Jake shook his head. "I'm afraid you're mistaken. I put it in your top desk drawer." he said. She looked irritated, but opened the drawer to find...

Splat! Ink splattered across her face when she opened it. "Jacob Skellington! To the office!!" she exclaimed, wiping ink from her eyes.

Jake stood, and strutted out of the room like a champion. The class clapped and cheered. Jake whipped around at the door and shot them one of his personal full-moon grins. All the girls swooned and sighed. Jake slammed the door behind him.

He chuckled down the hall. He wouldn't go to the office. He already knew the secretaries on a first name basis by now. No, he'd just gotten himself out of school for the day the way he saw it. He saw his best buddy Harry coming out of another classroom.

Harry laughed when he saw him. "We clear?" he asked. Jake nodded. "Lets head down to your Dad's pub." he said. Harry shook his head. "Naw, nothing to do there. I'm going to the prank shop."

"I don't think either of you will be going anywhere." said a third voice. Jake and Harry turned to see the clown with no face's nephew, the hall monitor, coming toward them. He was a runt of a clown.

Harry laughed. "What're you gonna do runt?" At six foot three and 300 pounds, Harry was built and he knew it.

"I'm supposed to excort you two to the office." sniffed the clown. Jake laughed. At six foot seven, almost as tall as Jack, he towered over the hall monitor.

"Cute." he said, "But I think we can find our own way there." he said cockily. The hall monitor shook his head. Then a rather large werewolf stepped around the corner.

"Fang..." Harry muttered. His older brother was even larger than him. And was working off his latest trick, egging the mayor's hearse while he was driving it, by helping the school.

"Sorry little bro, you got to go." he said. Jake and Harry hung their heads, but still marched to the office.

They were seated in the principal's office. The principal whirled around to face them.

He sighed. "You two again? Do I even need to call your parents?" he asked irritably. Jake put up his hands.

"Look, why don't you just give us a stern reprimand, then send us on our way to class?" he suggested. The principal sighed again.

"Look, Mr. Howler, Mr. Skellington, these schenanigans need to stop. Or next time there will be consequences. Have I made myself understood?"

Jake and Harry recited the usual "Yes sir."

"Good. Now you two will sit there for the rest of the school day." he said, then left his office.

Jake sniggered. It was two minutes till the end of school for the day. The headmaster was such a joke that people got in trouble simply for the fun of it. Besides, it was Friday. He was home free.

Jack sighed. He was bored to tears. The mayor just kept going on and on about the numbers on the bat colonies this year. But he had two minutes left.

"Lets call it a day Mayor." Jack suggested, getting up. The Mayor protested, but Jack had enough planning for today. He left the Town Hall, heading for home. As he strolled across the square, he thougth about the date of this particular Friday.

This weekend would be he and Sally's aniversary. He picked some flowers as he walked through the graveyard, headed for Skellington Manor.

Sally was singing softly in the kitchen when he opened the door. Jack chuckled, then sneaked to the kitchen, where she was kneading some bread. He put a hand on her shoulder. She jumped.

"Jack!" she exclaimed, returning her heartbeat to average, "Don't scare me like that." she said jokingly. Jack chuckled. "Can't help myself." he presented the flowers to her. Sally took them gently. She smiled. "They're beautiful Jack." she said softly.

"They don't come close to you." said Jack. "Anyway, I came up with the best idea for our aniversary this afternoon."

Sally's eyebrows perked. "You remembered?" She asked. "Yeeeess. That was one time. I remembered this year." Jack said exasperated. Sally hugged him. "I'm glad. What was your idea again?" she asked.

"Well...hear me out. I was thinking of you aned me going to ValentinesTown...like the year when we had Jake and Sam." Jack proposed.

"That sounds wonderful Jack. I would love to go, but..." "But?" "Well, we do have Jake and Sam. Who would watch them while we were gone?" asked Sally.

Jack pondered this for a moment. "They're sixteen. Why don't we let them take care of themselves for a week?"

Sally's brow ceased with worry. "I don't know Jack...I mean, Jake on his own?" she asked.

"But, he has Samantha to keep him in line. Come on Sally, we never get to do anything just you and me." Jack pleaded.

"That is true..." Sally consended. Jack swept her into a deep tango dip.

"So its decided. You and I can celebrate our aniversary in private. I'll tell Jake and Sam tonight." said Jack happily.

Okay, first chapter is not very eventful...just setting up for the rest of the fic. Please review so I know to continue? Please?
