A/N: I'm writing a TNBC fic everybody! silence yeah… okay so this fiction is called Unwanted Pride and here's basically what's happening:
Molly and Sadie Skellington, the Daughters of Halloween, are getting fed up with their parents, now completely obsessed with holidays they're forgetting their children's birthdays. Sadie has a few friends in the human world that might be of help, but can this really be solved by running away?
Okay. Jack and Sally might be a little OOC at first, but c'mon, I'm sick today, cut me some slack.

------------------------------------
The full moon rose over the gloomy village of Halloween Town, ghosts floated semi-visibly about the streets, various monsters crept around in dark alleys and a countdown-clock on top a huge columned building showed four seconds left…
Until what?
Three… two… one…
A skeleton in a pinstripe suit jumped out from seemingly nowhere and screamed "Happy Halloween!"
All the monsters, ghosts, and ghouls gathers around the skeleton and cheered, a rag doll with stitched-together clothing and long red hair walked up to the skeleton and reached her stitched-up arms around his boney shoulders and said excitedly "Oh, Jack! This Halloween was your best yet!"
Jack smiled a very skeleton-like grin and answered "Sally! I knew you love it! But what did the girls think?" he asked excitedly
Sally smiled "Why don't you ask them yourself?" she stepped aside to reveal two small girls; one had a skeleton face with one eye socket with a stitched up scar on it, a stitched-together flesh neck, a bone right arm and a flesh right arm, light hair falling to her shoulders, and a small black dress.
Jack held out his arms and welcomed her into a hug "Molly!" he cried as she ran into his boney-hug shrieking "Daddy!"
Molly was Jack and Sally's four-year-old daughter.
Behind Molly was her younger sister, she had a stitched-together flesh head and green eyes, her limbs were bone, her red hair was cropped short just above her ears and she wore a green dress with some patches of cloth covering up holes that were made during play.
"Sadie!" Jack cried opening up his free arm to welcome his younger daughter into a hug as well; Sadie shrieked in delight and ran into her father's arm to join her older sister
"Happy second birthday Sadie!" Jack smiled and handed Sadie a small pink bow, except where the knot in the bow was supposed to be instead there was a skull the same pink colour.
Sadie gazed at her present with wide, shining eyes and looked at her father with the same questioning expression that seemed to hold everything in balance and in a response Jack placed the bow on lock of Sadie's red hair.
Sadie squealed with delight, and her mother smiled.
Molly climbed up onto Jack's shoulders and hugged his neck, as Sadie was picked up by Sally and carried in her arms as she gently drifted off to sleep.

ELEVEN YEARS LATER
"Sadie!" a fifteen-year-old Molly called up the stairs to her sister "You're going to be late for the Halloween Banquet!"
"I'm coming!" a thirteen-year-old Sadie yelled back down at her sister as she hurried down the steps to join her family
"Mom and Dad already left, but they said they'd save us seats." Molly explained
Sadie's smile fell "Oh, okay." She had hoped her parents would've wished her a 'happy birthday' before they left
Seeing her sister's sadness Molly quickly said "I was going to save this until after the banquet but…" she held out a bony hand, and rested inside it was a book, a thick voluminous tome with a tattered cover and old wilted pages
"It's an original, Shakespeare's most famous plays, handwritten." Molly explained
Sadie stared down at the book with wide eyes then with a huge smile, she grabbed her sister into a huge hug
"I take it… you like it…" Molly choked out from lack of air
Sadie let go, and grabbed the book from her sister and held it in both arms "I love it." she smiled
