Author's note: yes, it's me again! And having completed my latest story 6teen Oogie's revenge, I'm finally able to work on this story that I've been thinking about last week. Ever since I became interested in 6teen and the nightmare before Christmas, I've always thought about much the 6teen gang would freak if somehow they wound up in Halloween town. And that's pretty much how this story is born. Of course, all of the songs from the movie are going to be in this, and then some. Hopefully, people will like this story as much as Oogie's revenge and just to let readers know this takes place before Oogie's revenge.

And before I forget, I guess I have to mention that the nightmare before Christmas belongs to Tim Burton (here in America) and 6teen belongs to Jennifer pertsch and tom McGills (in Canada) so, without any further ado, happy reading ;) – ike1992

October 31. Halloween night. The night when ghosts and goblins come out to play. The night when young children obtain massive amounts of candy by going door to door in costumes. To some kids, the greatest night of the year. And there are others who don't have the same idea…

In a small rich neighborhood called Richwood, a young high school student by the name of jonesy Garcia had just gotten home after serving his almost daily routine of detention and getting fired yet again from his job at the galleria mall. He remembered how the same thing had happened on last Halloween. But this Halloween was going to be different. Because jonesy had made the bold decision that he and his 6 best friends jimmy x Wyatt Williams Jude lizowski Nikki Wong Caitlin Cooke Jen masterson and his four other friends Joe Fred Sam and Samantha would not be trick-or-treating that year as the matter of fact they don't trick-or-treat at all.

Jonesy was completely disgusted by Halloween after what happened last year. He had fallen for another one of his older brother's stupid jokes (the so-called map to "scary Ville" ended up sending the gang in a big circle,) and the gang had been beaten up for something jimmy and Caitlin had done (could they help it that jimmy and Caitlin had beaten up all the others teens in the galleria mall because of their stupid Halloween hallucinations?" and even worse, jimmy and Caitlin got out of the whole thing without even a scratch! So unfair!

But jonesy, for once in his life, decided to learn from his mistake. He wasn't going to fall for another one of his brother's stupid pranks. Because he was staying home that Halloween night. But as soon as jonesy got home, he discovered something that he didn't counted on before: he had absolutely nothing to do. After about five minutes, he declared that he was officially bored.

So jonesy roamed around the house, looking for something-anything to do to occupy his time. Soon enough, his boredom led him to the attic. Jonesy always liked going up to the attic. Since his parents were pack rats, they had some of the most interesting stuff jonesy had ever seen. Unless you counted jonesy's Christmas presents, which consisted of clothes year after year. This was the reason why jonesy wasn't too fond of Christmas either.

But tonight, jonesy felt like doing something different. There was a corner of the attic that he hadn't fully explored before. He decided that if anything would be able to occupy his time, that would. So, he slowly made his way to the darker corner of the attic.

Jonesy began to sift through the old boxes. It was mostly the same old stuff: old clothes, old photos old tapes, nothing all that interesting. "Pfft. Figures," jonesy mumbled. He finally had a night to himself, and nothing exciting. Looking around his attic again, jonesy leaned back against the wall.

Suddenly, jonesy felt a board behind him shift slightly. He turned around. Was one of the boards loose? He began to mess with the boards, seeing if one would pop off. The last board he tried came off in his hands.

There was a secret compartment behind the board! How had jonesy missed that? He loved secrets. Especially if they were juicy secrets! He quickly peered inside the small compartment. But all that was in it was a rolled-up piece of paper. Of course, jonesy's curiosity was piqued, and he to look at the paper. He took it out and unrolled it then his eyes widened.

It was a map! And looked at like it led to some place from jonesy's house! And even better, the destination looked like a perfect spot for some healthy trick-or-treat fanatics. Jonesy was ecstatic. He was about to run down to the phone to call the others…but then he stopped. He looked at the map again. Considering where he had found it, the map was probably his brother's and considering what had happened the last few times he had followed one of his brother's maps, it probably led to trouble. But there was something different about this map. It actually looked authentic. There was no way his brother could draw it by hand. He just couldn't pass up this opportunity.

Jonesy ran down to the phone. He quickly dialed Sam's number and put the others through by conference call.

"Hello?" a polite voice answered first.

"My name is jimmy!" a second voice said.

"Guys, get your guns and meet me at my house!" said jonesy. "I got something here that will rock your socks!"

"Excuse me?" asked Sam. "Jonesy, I thought we went over this. You said you didn't want to trick-or-treat because of what happened last year, remember?"

"Well, yeah, but that was before I found this map!" said jonesy. "And I'm confident that it will lead us right to…"

"Another one of your brother's maps?" asked Sam. "Jonesy, have you learned nothing?"

"Look, will you guys just get your guns and get over here?" asked jonesy. "I'll see you later!"

"Trick-or-treat for me!" exclaimed jimmy.

After jonesy hung up, he ran to his room. He needed his weapons, and fast. He hadn't prepared his pistol his A.K. 47 rifle and his Uzi for this year because of his original plans, but now he had a good reason to have one. He finally settled wearing a belt for his pistol from last year.

The others were right on time. As soon as jonesy got his guns ready, the doorbell rang. Jonesy ran to answer it. Apparently, the others hadn't prepared anything for that year either. Jimmy had the same guns as jonesy Caitlin had a uzi and a pistol Nikki had a m16 a pistol and a Uzi Jen had a Uzi and a pistol Wyatt had a m4 a tec9 and a pistol Jude had a Uzi a m16 and a tec9 Sam had a m16 a mp and a pistol Joe had a A.K. 47 rifle a Uzi and a pistol Samantha had a Uzi and a pistol, all from last year.

"What took you so long?" asked jonesy.

"Can we just see the map?" asked Sam.

"See for yourself," said jonesy, handing Sam the map.

Sam carefully examined the map. "Hmm…well jonesy, now that I look at it, you're actually right. This map is different from your brother's past creations. I don't think he could have drawn all this."

"Told ya," said jonesy. "This map must lead to the real scary ville! I just knew he was holding out on me!"

"Scary ville, guys!" yelled jimmy.

"Well, hopefully things will be better than they were last year," said Sam. "Right, jimmy Caitlin?" this year, Sam had made cut back on their monster movies because of jimmy and Caitlin's behavior last year.

"We have been good Sam," said jimmy.

"Good," said Sam. "Then let's begin, shall we?"

---

So the gang began to follow the map into the night. With sam leading (mostly because he was the only one who could read the map), they weren't paying much attention to exactly where they were going. Sam was focused on keeping his coordinates straight.

When Sam finally looked up to see where they were, he realized that the map had led the gang deep into the woods behind apple creek school. "Oh my," he said. "I don't think I've ever been this deep into the woods before. I wonder where exactly we're going?"

"Ah, who cares?" asked jonesy.

And so they walked on. Before Sam knew it, they were at the endpoint on the map. He looked up and saw just what the gang had been led to. Then, he made an abrupt stop. This caused jimmy and Caitlin to crash into Sam, and the others to crash into jimmy Caitlin and Sam, and knocking the map out of Sam's hands in the process.

"What'd you do that for, Sam?" asked jonesy. Then he too saw what was in front of them.

It was a tree. But it didn't look like any of the other trees in the forest. This tree definitely stood out. The reason it stood out was because there was a big, orange, grinning jack o' lantern carved into it!

"What the hell?" asked jonesy.

"Well, it certainly seems that someone had a lot of time on their hands," said sam. Then he took a closer look at the jack o' lantern. "Hmm…hey, I don't think this is just a carving, guys. I think it's a door!"

"A door in a tree?" asked jonesy.

"It will open up and lead us down straight into the depths of hades!" said jimmy. "Can me and Caitlin go first?"

"Hang onto your necks, monobrows," said jonesy. "Why would my brother have a map that would lead to this tree?"

"Well, it must have some importance to your brother," said Sam. "I'll look at the map again…" then Sam saw the map lying face down on the ground. "Hello?"

"What now?' asked jonesy.

"Jonesy, there's something written on the back of this map," said Sam, picking the map up. "I think it's…a poem."

"What?" asked jonesy. "I don't think my brother was a whiz at poetry. What's it say?"

"Here, I'll read it aloud," said Sam. He cleared his throat.

"Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems

In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.

For the story that you are about to be told

Takes place in the holiday worlds of old.

Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from.

If you haven't I'd say it's time you've begun."

Jonesy stared at the poem on the back of the map. "What the hell does that mean?" he asked.

"I have no idea," said Sam.

Just then, the gang heard a loud cracking noise behind them. They turned around. The jack o' lantern door was wide open.

"Uh…who did that?" asked jonesy.

"Jimmy Caitlin?" asked Jen.

"It wasn't us Jen!" said jimmy. "We've been good!"

Then, something strange happened. Nearby leaves that were on the ground began to flutter about in the breeze.

"Hey, what's going on?" asked jonesy.

"That's strange…" said Sam. "The weather report said there wouldn't be any wind tonight…"

"The door is sucking us in!" yelled jimmy. "It wants to eat us!"

"What?" jonesy asked.

And sure enough, jimmy seemed to be right. The wind was coming from inside the door. And it was pulling the gang in! the gang tried to fight the growing current, but then it suddenly became so strong that it lifted the eleven terrified teenagers up into the air! One by one, the gang was sucked into the door. And as soon as the gang were sucked in, the jack o' lantern door shut behind them. The only sound that could be heard was screams of the gangs, growing fainter and fainter as they fell deeper and deeper…

Then…nothing. Silence. The wind had died down. All the leaves fluttered back onto the ground. And all that remained was the grinning jack o' lantern door.
