My first hand try at Nightmare Before Christmas! I love the film, the characters...EVERYTHING, so why not write a small something? This will be a three shot, a.k.a not very long fic focused on Jack/Sally. ^^
I do hope you like!
This was a very special day. It was truly, a very special day, indeed.
It was the day she was dreaming about. Ever since she was created and brought to life, she had eyes for the Pumpkin King for as long as she could remember. Yet, he was blind to her. It was queer that he didn't see her love for so long. He was everything she had ever dreamed of. The way he strolled through the dank graveyard with such graceful long strides. Jack lit up what was dark in her eyes. Things had become as bright as his pitch white skull. Yet, with sockets so dark, she could always see the entire world inside them.
It all started when that dastardly Oogie Boogie got cocky about that…New Bug Day nonsense. When she got in trouble, Jack was the one who plucked her out of danger. Sally had eyes set on him ever since that fateful day.
Now was her greatest concern. Now she was due to be wed on this day and she believed hard that it would never happen. She was now the wife of the Pumpkin King of Halloween. Sadly, being so shy, she didn't how to react to all of this. Indeed, she was the happiest she had ever been. She sat upon the sofa in his home, pondering. She was pondering so hard that she had not noticed her future spouse coming up behind her.
"Sally?" sung that voice from her daydreams.
Jack gave her a tender touch and goosed her, accidentally.
"Oh! Jack!" she gasped, breaking into a fit of ecstatic laughter. "It is only you!"
"I am so sorry, Sally." Jack knelt by her, taking her small doll hand. "I didn't mean to frighten you. Not on purpose, anyway." He chuckled with that broad skeleton grin of his.
"I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for? There is no reason to be."
"I know, Jack. I'm just…just…a little nervous."
"Oh, well, don't be." he stood, taking her hand up with him. He was so tall that she was still able to sit. "Come with me. I have something to show you." Jack kindly softened.
There was something she didn't know and Jack was always full of surprises.
"What is it, Jack?"
"Don't spoil the surprise." he hushed her mischievously as he led her to the front door with excitement.
"Oh, Jack!"
The Pumpkin King is full of all kinds of surprises! xD
