Me: Hey, hey. Guess who? Yes, me! And, the moment you all have been waiting.
Jack: Yes, the story we have been telling you about. The one where Sandy Claws has something nasty.
Sally: Something that involves what happened in TNBC.
Me: AND a story by a friend of mine on deviant art. You all will be amazed! Now, less talking, more reading. ENJOY!
Ten months after the ALMOST murder of the Pumpkin King, everything was good as it was supposed to be. Judith was now part of the ghost choir for the Halloween celebration. Josephine turned sixteen on October 10th, Janessa will be fourteen on November 6th, Samantha will be twelve on January 7th and Jessie will be six on December 11th. Mack joined in the song as he hid behind the Hanging Tree, watching the Skellington family doing the ceremony.
"Great Halloween, everybody," Janet and the Mayor said.
"I believe it was our most horrible yet," Jack said.
"Thank you, everyone," the Pumpkin Princesses said. But Janessa looked bored. She went into the graveyard and Mack followed her. Janessa had the same feeling Jack had many years ago. But she still doesn't want to take over Christmas after the accident.
"What can I do? Why am I feeling this way?" Janessa asked. "I guess I'll ask Sandy Claws for help."
"Janessa, please. You can't do this," Mack said.
"Don't worry, Mack," Janessa said. "I'm not following in my father's footsteps to take over Christmas. We made a promise not to. We're keeping it. I'll see you later."
"Okay. We'll watch in the witches' cauldron," Mack said. So Janessa went to the Hinterlands.
Mack told everyone what happened the next day.
"That's a relief," Janet said. "We can't let Janessa take over Christmas after Jack's accident years ago."
"It could get worse," Clawdeen said. "Janessa could be sent to prison."
"Or worse...DIE!" the Harlequin Demon's daughter, Hailey, said. Then everyone hear frantic footsteps. It was Janessa and she had a letter in her hand. She handed the letter to Jack.
"Oh no. This is terrible," Jack said. "And not the good kind."
"What is it?" one of the ghost choir girls, Maria's, son, Stan asked.
"Sandy Claws is sick," Jack said. "He has a nasty cold. But there's good news. He asked me to take over this year!" Everyone was amazed to hear that.
Me: Yes. That's right. You heard right. Sandy Claws is sick with a cold, he asked Jack to take over Christmas this year and deliver the REAL presents. That's the answer.
Jack: Yes. Inspired by Miss Holy Becker of deviant art with the same name as her username on the website.
Sally: Yes. Won't she love it. And in the story, not only does the plan succeed, but Jack isn't shot out of the sky this time.
Me: Yes. And Sandy Claws isn't captured either. Just sick. The one aiding Jack is the princesses and Sandy's daughter, Cleo Claws. Anyway, review and tell what you all think. NO FLAMES! NO, NOT ONE FLAME!
