It's been 15 years since Oogie Boogie's second down fall, and Lock, Shock, and Barrel tried there hardest to get him back. But they finally gave up and started a hole new life. But the more older they got, the more Lock and Shock started to like each other. They went out for a walk, without Barrel; and Lock asked Shock to merry him. Barrel was happy for them, but was sad that he would be all alone in this dark town. This is the story of how Barrel found his…well you'll find out.
Barrel was under a tree thinking of what to do with his life. He only had one purpose, was to be a trick-o-treater in Halloween Town. Then a cat screamed across the land. The town meeting was being held. He had nothing better to do. So he went along, but he still got stares at him. I would see why. He was still loyal for Boogie. But Demonic said give him a chance. So the mayor did (and he did this with lock and shock also).

He sat at the back, all alone. "I've Set up a town meeting to say, we will have visitors over for a few weeks, it seemed the dead is over flowing and they need more room. So we might get new people in the town. I want you to be nice and scary to the guests. Thank You" said the Mayor, looking joyful. That's when chatter filled the room.
"I wonder if my cousin Emily and her new daughter will be coming over" one said in the crowd. "Maybe even my brother Bone jangles will be there to, oh this is going to be so much fun" some else said. "Town dismiss" the mayor said and everyone left to what they were doing earlier.

Barrel was not pleased to here that more people will be living in Halloween town. But maybe he'll he get his other wish granted, but he is just going have to wait and see. It was the very next the visitors came along. It seemed this Emily and Bone Jangles he heard about married and had a daughter named Alice. To you she may look like a normal girl. But she had blue skin, skull bow ties, a black short nun dress, black and red stocking and arm warmers, and black has black can be shoes. Barrel just stared open widely and the girl giggled at him. He turned away and met the other guests. There were two that died from swords long ago. Even was a cook, which died just from a nasty cough.

Barrel was not so happy at all, matter of fact he looked a bit gloomy. He left the Town Hall and went to the spiral mountain, which he sat there all alone. Below him he saw Lock and Shock enjoying a frightful evening. He started crying, then he heard a voice behind him (which sounded like some little girl) saying "what's wrong". He turned to see the dead girl he saw earlier. "What of your friends disserted you just because they fell in love and you were left alone to rot, how would you feel" He asked, sounding angrily. She didn't seem effected at all, but she sat next to him. Took his hand, and said… I'm sorry but I'm going to the leave the story there, but yes it does have my two fan fiction characters Demonic and Zinc in this story. This is not really a sequel to the other story, but I thought this would a good story to put up because of Valentine's Day.
