Me: Hey, guys. This is a new story I made up for my favorite childhood cartoon, CatDog, and my favorite childhood movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. And also I have the weirdest thought.

Cat: What's that?

Dog: Yeah! Tell us! Now!

Me: What if you two were the characters for that movie.

CatDog: (Laughs like crazy)

Cat: That is a weird thought. I never thought of that.

Dog: Yeah. I know Cat and I could be Jack. And the Greasers can be Lock, Shock and Barrel. But will be the Mayor? Or Oogie Boogie? Or Sally?

Me: I know right? So anyway, I thought of this story last night while watching CatDog. I'm sure it could be amusing. Enjoy!

CatDog were walking around the forest to go home after going camping. But there was a place Cat couldn't even recognize.
"Admit it, Dog. We're lost," Cat said, annoyed.
"We're not lost, Cat. Winslow said this is a short-cut," Dog said.
"Unless he's pulling another of his ridiculous tricks again," Cat said, crossing his arms.
"He's not. He promised," Dog said. "He made a map to prove it." Then they spotted a circle of trees with the seven holiday symbols as doors. Cat thought it was just an illusion and told Dog to turn back. But it turns out it's no illusion, in fact, it's all real. Dog saw one that seemed to be for Halloween. So Dog opened the door and saw nothing.
"Well, nothing in there," Cat said. "I guess we should go home now."
"Wait, Cat. What if..." Dog said. But he was cut off when something sucked them into the hole of the tree. When they reached the end, CatDog found themselves in some graveyard. And next to the graveyard was a pumpkin patch and a hill with an unusual curl on top. And there was a town up ahead. Cat knew Dog was really falling into Winslow's tricks again and made an annoyed look.
"Dog, this is NOT A SHORT-CUT!" Cat yelled at his brother.
"I guess you're right as usual, Cat," Dog said. "This is not Nearburg." Then the brothers spotted someone coming up ahead. It was a tall and thin skeleton man. Dog was interested that this man was made of bones, not flesh. But Cat kept him away. Then the brothers hid behind a tombstone as the skeleton went to check the pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.
"Who was that skeleton?" Dog asked.
"And most importantly...where are we?" Cat complained. "Someone's coming! Get down, Dog!" It was three mischievous kids inside a walking bath tub. The sight of the tub gave Cat the heebie jeebies due to his aqua phobia. The kids were saying something about getting bugs to a guy named Oogie Boogie. Cat didn't like the sound of that.
"Who are you two?" a voice asked, making Cat jump.
"My name is Dog," Dog said. "And this is my brother, Cat."
"Charmed I'm sure," Cat mumbled. "Why'd you scare me to death?"
"It's my job to do that, Cat," the skeleton said. "My name is Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King."
"Pleasure to meet you, Jack," Dog said.
"Yes, yes. Greeting the Pumpkin King," Cat complained. "Do you know those two mischievous kids riding a walking bath tub that passed by?"
"That was Lock, Shock and Barrel!" Jack said. "They are Halloween Town's finest trick-or-treaters. They pull pranks everyday."
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Halloween Town?" Cat yelled in excitement. "Is that where we are?"
"Cool! We get to see vampires!" Dog yelled. So Jack took CatDog to town.
