Chapter 1: Jacky Skellington
'Where is she?' Jack thought as he walked around Halloween Town. He was looking for his 17 year old daughter, who had, once again, wandered off. He sighed, when he suddenly heard a familiar song. It was THE song.
He looked to where many teens were gathered around the fountain. "Everyone hail to the pumpkin song..." Everyone faltered in their singing when they saw the Pumpkin King. Jack stood next to his wife, and crossed his arms while he watched the figure rise out of the fountain.
Sally placed a calming hand on her husband's shoulder. She knew that Jack was going to be mad, and she didn't want him to make a scene. Jack took a deep breath as he watched their daughter step out of the fountain. She looked exactly like Jack, but with shoulder length brown hair. She had the same outfit but hers flared a bit, and over her pants she had a short red skirt.
"Jacklyn!" Jack called to her. Jacklyn froze mid-step out of the fountain. The teens made a path as their Pumpkin King walked through. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked, sweeping his arm to the crowd, which slowly dispersed.
She looked around before shrugging her shoulders. "Nothing." Jack sighed and helped her down. "HEY! I can get down myself." She said, crossing her boney arms. Jack shook his head again.
"Go to the mansion. I need to talk to your mother." He said sternly while gently guiding her towards it. She turned around in his hold. "But dad I…" Jacky was cut off by a firm "No." Begrudgely she walked away. Once in awhile turning back, but Jack only shook his head.
Sally walked up to Jack and wrapped her arms around his bony body. "Jack, we have to face the facts. She's going to get her powers come Christmas day. She'll make a great Pumpkin Queen. It's not like she's going away. She'll be here."
Jack hung his head and closed his eye sockets. "I know. But…She just seems too young. Yet that was the age I became King." Sally rested her chin on his shoulder. "What shall we do with her? That's the third time this week she's gotten into trouble."
Jack shrugged. "Nothing we can really do. Christmas AND her birthday is just a few days away…" He trailed off at that thought. "Perhaps you should go talk to her." Sally said.
"Ok, but be ready for some yelling. From her of course." Jack smiled and gave Sally a light kiss before walking towards the mansion.
Well, what'd ya think? Not bad for my first TNBC story right?
