Disclaimer- I don't own The Nightmare before Christmas. I wish I did. Then, I could make a lot of money by doing a sequel.
Prologue
Lock's POV
It's too bad she's gone.
I'm gonna miss her. Yeah, I'll miss everything she put us through.
Hi! My name's Lock. Everyone knows me as the devil guy from Nightmare before Christmas, but that was then.
This is ten years later. My little group has disintegrated. Shock went off to college. I'm working my way through High School, and Barrel got his head shoved in the toilet by a group of High School Seniors. I saw the whole thing.
Now where was I? Oh, yeah. Shock's gone. I may never see her again. I heard she went to Collegetown and is studying something. I don't know what. She hasn't told me anything, except she's in Collegetown.
Since she left, I've been thinking. What does she truly think of me, besides a fly on her lunch?
Barrel: Actually, in Halloweentown, that's an added bonus.
Lock: That's what they say in the non-holiday world! Anyway, as I was sitting at my desk, in my bedroom, I pondered what Shock really felt about me. You don't know how long the thought troubled my mind.
"Whatcha doin'?" Barrel asked. He and I had to share a room. We kinda ran the Oogie Boogie place after Jack killed him.
"I'm thinking if Shock loves me," I replied. I sighed. Sometimes Barrel can be such a pain. If you think he's dumb in the movie, wait till ya live with him for ten years.
I fingered a letter on my desk. I read the return address. It was from somewhere in Collegetown, where Shock was at the current time. I gently tore open the envelope. "Dear Lock," I read. I skimmed the rest of the letter and gasped.
