Hi, I'm the authoress, and I'll be staring in this silly one-shot where I am about to begin with!
The names you'll see are the usernames on DeviantART. :-D
Ok, Some info about my appearances in the story:
Is wearing white and black striped stockings, orange sneakers, black with pink striped shirt, a black skirt that ends in two points and fingerless gloves. (Geez a lot of black eh? Haha.)
Powers: talking, overreacting, hugging.

Hello! Your dear authoress xxx-Vitani-xxx is looking for a job, and she's currently baby-sitting. But, she doesn't has to do that a lot so she's on the laptop again, reading some TNBC-fan fictions for she had nothing to do, except for studying for her exams. But that was boring.
Instead she leaned on her chair, and sighed.
"I am so bored out of my skull, I wish dannypfan, cheetaleonie, or alientje16 were here."
She went to Youtube and started to listen to Korn's version of Kidnap the Sandy Claws.
When she went off to the kitchen to make some orange soda, with trillions of ice cubes in it, she heard the sound of an incoming e-mail.
Running as fast her legs could take her, she got back, and checked her inbox. It was an mail coming from Pumpkin_king_
"Dear miss,
I think I have a great baby-sitting address for you. For more information, come at 12.00 AM to the nearest graveyard near your house.
Signed,
Jack the pumpkin king"
She laughed, and continued to do until she got no more breath left, and fell out of my chair.
After an hour or so, she got back onto her chair. "
"Yeah, likely. But what the heck? I've got nothing to do."
---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---
So, after an hour or two, it was 11.40 PM. She got on her coat, mobile and iPod, and went to the nearest graveyard. She noticed it was kinda cold and foggy for the time of the year.
"Okay, despite the fact that I'm all alone in a graveyard, I am missing several important hours of sleep!" She said out loud and blew her hands warm.
She looked at her cell phone, and saw it was 12.00 AM. "Ghost Hour," Vitani chuckled to herself to not freak out by the crows, or the church clock that banged twelve times.
One… This is stupid
Two… Why am I so impulsive?
Three… Where are my keys?
Four… Oh, there
Five… This isn't going to turn out in something…
Six… Maybe I had to go to another graveyard.
Seven… But this is the nearest graveyard!
Eight… Am I talking to myself?
Nine… I probably am..
Ten… One of the reasons that I should be in a straight jacket
Eleven… You'll see, nothing will happen
Twelve… it's 12.00 AM
Thirteen... "WHAT FREAKING CLOCK BANGS THIRTEEN TIMES!?!?" Vitani yelled out loud, when she saw a thin shadow rise from behind a statue.
Vitani narrowed her eyes. "Who's there?"
A male voice chuckled. "I could say; I am the wind blowing trough your hair, but then I'd be lying."
"Yeah, because there is no wind." Vitani snapped. "Eh, who are you if I may ask?"
The shadow straightened his back, and jumped on the gravestone right before Vitani and made the same horrifying face he did to Lock, Shock and Barrel.
"GAAAAAAH!!" She fell on her butt, and crawled up as fast she could.
Shaking, Vitani asked one more time; "S-s-seriously, w-who a-are y-y-you?"
The skeleton-like man wiped of the dust of his suit.
"I am Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween."
"S-Skellington?"
"Yes."
"Pumpkin king?"
"Still me."
"Oh god…"
Vitani knew she had 3 options now.
faint
foam, squeal and hug Jack to his second death, being a TNBC fan.
pinch herself
She pinched herself. "Ouch! Okay, I am not dreaming…"
Then she pushed Jack against his shoulder. "Are you out of your mind? You scared me half to death!" While she was ranting, Jack simply ignored her and waited until she was finished.
"Well, what is your name miss...?
"xxx-Vitani-xxx but to spare you from the x's you can just say Vitani." Vitani mumbled.
"I see…" Jack coughed. "Well, I suppose you have received my e-mail?"
"Yes. Since when do you have internet in Halloween Town?"
"Oh, a while."
"And that babysitting..." Vitani patted the tops of her fingers against each other.
Jack grinned a skeletal grin. "Come and see."
He wanted to grab her arm but Vitani back away. "Whoa, whoa, wait. You're not going to kidnap me, are you?"
Jack sighed annoyed and nodded.
"Okay…. Now would you say cheese?"
"Cheese?" Jack asked curiously, but Vitani slung her arm around him, and took with her other arm that was holding a camera a photo. "Now that wasn't so bad after all, was it?" She put the camera back inside her pocket. Jack frowned. "I demand copyrights. But oh well. Off to Halloween Town?"
"You really DO have empty eye sockets!" Vitani said, making an :-D face. Jack would have rolled his eyes if he had them. "COME ON!!" He grabbed her arm and dragged her into the shadow he had arrived from.
---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHIIEEEEEEE!!!"
"Are you done?"
"I think so." Vitani looked around her. "Halloween town?"
Jack smiled proudly. "Why, yes!"
Vitani nodded. "Okay. But why would you ask me to babysit? And who are the children I have to babysit? It better not be Mummy or Corpse Boy! Their voices are sooo annoying."
Jack chuckled awkward and rubber his skull. "They are not quite the ones…"
Vitani raised an eyebrow. "Who are the ones, then?"
Jack nodded to a tree house.
OH CRAP.
---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---
Jack and Vitani walked down the path to the tree house, waiting for the cage elevator.
"Lock! Shock! Barrel! Come out, I have somebody here I want you to introduce to!"
"But you
are already with Sally!" A boy's voice said.
"Are you
cheating on her?" A girl's voice asked.
And Vitani could swear she heard OMNOMNOMNOM.
"Come out at once!" Jack demanded.
The elevator went up, and went down with three figures in it: A red devil, a purple witch and a white-and-black skeleton.
Vitani looked from the little skeleton to Jack.
"Are you related?"
The devil and the witch fell on the ground from laughter, while Jack got steaming mad.
"Why don't you guys introduce yourself?"
The devil removed his mask. "I'm Lock."
The witch removed her mask. "Shock."
"Barrel!" The smallest one of the trio took his mask off and licked his lolly.
Vitani looked surprised. "Aren't you a little too young to use lipstick? Oh well, it ain't my business is it?"
Jack poked her shoulder. "Erm, they're dead, girl."
"First, I have a name. Secondly, I don't like being touched…"
The next thing that happened is that the three kids hugged her legs. And since Vitani didn't have a third leg, Lock hugged her arm.
"Looks like they all dig you. Well, I'm off!"
"Where to?"
"A date with Sally." Jack smiled like a 14 year old girl having a crush on Johnny Depp.
"Ah, getting to second base?"
"What do you mean?"
"Going Hubba-Hubba?"
"Huh!?"
"Geez, what about: GIGGEDEY GIGGEDEY GOO!"
"CAN'T YOU TALK NORMAL LIKE THE REST OF US!?" Jack yelled.
Vitani shrugged. "I only asked if you were getting laid tonight. You need it, you seem frustrated."
Jack did his creepy face once more. Vitani, Lock, Shock and Barrel ran into the elevator and got in their tree house.
"I'll be back tomorrow!" Jack shouted, and then he took off.
"WAIT!!! What are you going to pay me!?" Vitani yelled with her head popped out of the tiny window. When she had her head back, she looked around. There were weapons, a couch, and fours doors. The three children were grinning at her.
"So… What shall we do, pumpkins?"
---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---
Barrel looked in awe to Vitani's head. "What is that on your head? Cotton candy?"
"It must be some very old cotton candy..." Lock added.
"Nope, it's my hair." Vitani replied.
"Your hair?!" Shock asked, using an ''ain't-I-a-cute-little-girl'' voice. "Can I braid it?"
"Uuuh, sure. But can't we do something we can do together?" Vitani knew she could earn the trio's trust if they could play a game. It worked previously, so why won't it work now?
Lock smiled. "We could play pirate." Barrel joined the devil in his smile. "We'll decide what the treasure is..." Lock and Barrel looked around, to find something worthy enough to be a treasure.
Shock finally got Vitani's hair down, and was amazed by it. "I know something better! Let's play Spiral Hill and climb on you!"
"YAY!!" Lock and Barrel cheered.
"Oh no! You are NOT going to-" thud
The trio had pinned the poor Vitani down, who was remembering why the hell she agreed to do this.
"People, guys, come on, don't pin me down!" Vitani demanded, but was simply ignored.
"Vitani will be the treasure!" Shock explained, holding her fist in the air.
Lock started to pull at her leg, and Barrel at an arm while Shock was still braiding Vitani's hair.
"AAAUGH!! Ouch! AAaaaahhhhh!! Stop it! You're hurting me!" Vitani shrieked.
"That's what we are supposed to do!" Barrel laughed. Then he started tickling.
"OOOH GOD NOOOO HAHAHAHA DON'T TICKLE ME!!! OHHH GEEZ CRAP STOPIT STOPIT!! HAHAHA"
As if it was a sign, Lock started tickling as well.
Vitani laughed for hours until she ran out of air and fainted.
---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---
After an hour, Lock and Barrel got bored from tickling a non moving body.
"What'll we do now?" Lock asked.
"You guys have to wait until I finish this!" Shock snapped, while finishing the 23rd braid.
"Since when do we care?"
"Since I will braid your tail onto her head!"
"What head?" Vitani asked.
"Barrels head!" Shock yelped. "Don't you see it's related to a volley ball?"
Barrel's smiled fainted away from his round face.
Vitani sat up. "You hurt his feelings! Barrel, you want a hug?"
Lock and Shock burst out in laughter.
"Let them laugh Barrel!" Vitani said happily and grabbed the little chubby boy and hugged him. "Awwww you're so cute!"
"Would you stop moving!" Shock yelled. "It's difficult enough with your hair!" Vitani turned around and poor Shock was hanging on a bang. "AAAAAAGGGH!!!"
"Oh noes!! I got a witch attached to my head!" Vitani yelped and started head banging in a try to shake Shock off.
Shock managed to finish the last braid and let go. "Well, isn't it a masterpiece!" She stated proudly.
"Shock, doing someone's hair isn't a masterpiece…" Lock mentioned, grinning.
"No… It's girl stuff!" Barrel laughed.
Shock jumped on Barrel and started to punch him.
Vitani sighed and tried to get separate them. "What do you say if, we uh, go play hide and seek?"
"YAAAAAY!!" The trio cheered in unison.
"The last one raising his hand will have to seek!"
Lock and Shock raised their hand immediately, and Vitani followed. "Oh poor Barrel, I'll count next okay?" Vitani winked and Barrel blushed.
"You'll count 'till hundred!" Shock demanded.
"One, two, three, four.."
"C'mon!" Lock mentioned for Vitani to come closer to the pipe with candles.
"Go down the pipe!" Lock whispered.
"You're funny, little devil. I'll never fit trough there." Vitani whispered, and patted the boys head.
"Yes you do!" Shock whispered. "Come on! Let's get in the game!"
" eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen…"
Lock and Shock were pushing Vitani into the pipe.
"She
might be too BIG!" Shock yelped, slapping Vitani's butt with a
broom.
"OBJECTION!! Those are my private parts!" Vitani
yelled.
"No she's not! If Sandy Claws can get trough it, surely she can!" Lock whacked Vitani's butt with a plunger, and she was send into a casino-like cave, landing on the roulette table.
"OBJECTION!!" Vitani yelled and shook an angry fist at the pipe she just fell out.
Suddenly a black light went on and all the objects on the room or cave had neon colours.
"Ooooh, shiney!"
Suddenly two doors opened and two dices were rolling out of it, poking Vitani who had the face O.o
Then music started to play.
"Oh god no! I've heard this song too many times to enjoy it!" Vitani begged but it was hopeless.
A big green sack appeared in front of her. Vitani ached her neck while checking the sack out from toes till head.
"Well well well
What have we here?
A human, heh?
Ooh, I'm really scared
So you're the one
My henchmen were talking about, ha ha
You're jokin', You're jokin',
You… AREN'T TIED!?!?!" The burlap sack yelled angrily.
Vitani frowned in confusion. "And that is a bad thing because..?"
The green sack sighed annoyed and muttered "I am Oogie Boogie. Now the whole act is ruined!"
"Don't you mean screwed up?"
"what!?
"Whatever." Vitani said. She raised out her hand. "I am Vitani, the authoress of this story, and I the babysitter of Lock, Shock and Barrel. We were playing hide and seek until Lock and Shock got me in here."
Oogie Boogie chuckled. "So the bone man finally found a baby sitter? HA!"
Vitani was angry for her hand was being ignored, and said "What's so funny about that?"
"Jack has tried everyone in Halloween town … And the twelve poor creatures got mentally insane afterwards." He grinned.
Vitani counted on her fingers. "…That makes me nr. Thirteen!"
Oogie
chuckled and gave a pull at the roulette table, making Vitani fly
off.
"I BELIIIEEEVE I CAN FLYY- AHH!!!" Vitani
yelled as she landed on the ground.
Oogie picked her up at her collar, and randomly decided to continue singing.
"I can't believe my eyes!
You're
jokin me, you gotta be
This can't
be the right gal
She's humant, she's blonde
I don't know which
is worse
I might just split a seam now
If I don't die laughing
first"
"You will?" Vitani asked hopefully.
"Shut
up," Oogie sneered. "When Mr.
Oogie Boogie says [THREE

There's trouble close at hand
You'd better
pay attention now
'Cause I'm the Boogie Man
And if you aren't
shakin'
Then something's very wrong
'Cause this may be the last
time now
That you hear the boogie song, ohhh"
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man
Well if I'm feelin' antsy
And there's nothin' much to
do
I might just cook a special batch
Of snake and spider
stew
And don't ya know one thing
That would make it work so
nice?
An afro-haired authoress, to add a little spice
Ohhh
Oh, yeah
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Oh,
yeah, I'm/he's the Oogie Boogie Man
Release me
now
Or you must face the huge consequences!
My bed is
expecting me
So please come, to your senses!
You're jokin', you're jokin'
I can't believe my
ears
Would someone shut this teenager up
I'm drowning' in my
tears
It's funny, I'm laughing
You really are too much
And
now, with your permission
I'm going to do my
stuff
What are you going to do?
I'm gonna do the best I can"
Vitani watched, with a blanco expression on her face.
"Yeah,
ever thought about going Broadway?" "Oh,
the sound of rollin' dice
To me is music in the air
'Cause I'm
a gamblin' Boogie Man
Although I don't play fair"
"You don't?"
"Nope."
"That's not fair."
"It's
much more fun, I must confess [Authoress] [OOGIE BOOGIE]
When lives are on the line
Not
mine, of course, but yours, young girl
Now that'd be just
fine
Release me fast or you will have to
Answer for this heinous act
Oh, sister,
you're something
You put me in a spin
You aren't
comprehending
The position
That you're in"
"I AM NOT YOUR SISTER! And I am calling the cops NOW!!" Vitani screamed as she pulled out her cell phone.
"It's
hopeless, you're finished
You haven't got a prayer
'Cause I'm
Mr. Oogie Boogie
And you ain't going nowhere"
Oogie sang as he slung an sack-arm around her.
"You are a creepy person." Vitani said.
---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---
Later, Vitani got tied up. "I hope you enjoyed your playtime, but I really have to sleep. Don't you see those bags under my eyes? It'll take weeks to sleep it away!"
"Silence!" Oogie yelled. "You are my prisoner now!"
"No, I am Lock Shock and Barrel's babysitter, and Jack will kill me if he finds out I'm not watching them!" Vitani shrieked. Oogie put a burlap sack-hand over her mouth. "Be quiet, dang girl!"
He had to knew better, because Vitani bit in it.
"AAAARH!! Why you little…" Vitani sat up on the roulette table, still in tied. "I am not little! Shock is! Now let me go!"
"No way! You bit the Oogie Boogie man! No one has ever done that before!"
"Good for you but LET ME GOOOOO!! Once I get free I'll call not only the cops, but also the army, the RCMP, the firemen and Baywatch!"
"You'll make a nice adding to the snake and spider stew, he he he."
"You sound like a furby. An evil one. You know they made a prank call to a toy store? With an eeeeeevil furby, lmao, I saw it on youtube." Vitani ranted.
Oogie started to grew tired of the over talk-active teen and picked her up, to hang her with the ropes on her wrists to a hook.
"Would you please let me down? My belly is growing cold!" Vitani stated nervously.
Oogie lowered his eyes to her belly, that was so pale white it almost blinded his eyes.
"Ugh! Get a tan!" He yelled.
Vitani frowned. "I could, if you'd LET ME GO!!" She started kicking in the air with her foots, what made Oogie laugh, at least until she kicked him.
---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---TNBC---
Meanwhile, Lock, Shock and Barrel were watching the whole scene in the elevator, trough a window under the ground. They all snickered and laughed.
"We should actually record this and put it on youtube, ha ha!" Lock suggested.
"Or make it into a movie and sell it on eBay!"
"Can't we just watch the show?" Barrel asked annoyed, and shoved a hand full of popcorn and spiders in his mouth.
THE END –
PS. The authoress survived. She faked a crush on Oogie Boogie, and he was so scared he'd let het go. Unfortunately, Jack and Sally never returned, so Vitani never got paid, and she was stuck forever in Halloween Town.
