Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Jack Skellington, or any other things in this story. All I own is this story, and occasionally myself popping up all over the place, but not in this chapter.
Author's note: This whole story will be in two different POV's, Sora's, and Jack's (from Nightmare Before Christmas, or from Halloween Town for those who hasn't seen the movie), and the first chapter is in Sora's POV. Now, this is my first fan fiction, so flames are welcome.
EDIT: If you have seen this fanfic before, yes, I originally posted this in 2003. However, unsatisfied with it, I gave it up. Now, I am finally more confident with my writing skills, I am going to continue this story. Unfortunately, I put little effort in editing my old noobish stuff, so it's gonna be hard to read.
Halloween in Halloween Town, POV 1:
Sora It was a lazy, autumn day on the islands, like usual. Riku was sitting around the stream, batting around the keychain on his Oblivion Keyblade, Kairi was paddling along the shore in a row boat, Selphie was walking around the dock, Tidus was on the beach, chewing a fish bone, and Wakka was sitting against a cocoanut tree, reading "How to Speak English in Six Years", which didn't help him much.
I was on top of the Seaside Shack, shining my Oathkeeper Keyblade, and occasionally scratching at the bandages on my arm. Yeah, you guessed it, we were bored. And we would have dead bored right now if it weren't for two things: One, Donald and Goofy had visited earlier, Goofy was trying to surf (even though there wasn't any sign of wind today), and Donald was collecting cocoanuts for dinner later, by whacking the cocoanut tree with his Dream Staff, randomly hitting Wakka in the head.
Two, for the fact that something crashed a few miles away, and we were all anxious to know what it was. Donald had a full barrel of cocoanuts by the time he noticed the bandage.
"Shorah! What happened to yer arm!" Quacked Donald, almost dropping a few cocoanuts. "Kairi." I replied. "Apparently she had been PMSing a few days before you got here, and she got mad and stabbed me in the arm with a fork. But, she has stopped today." I held up my arm sadly.
"Women scars my friend." Said Donald while taking in a deep sigh. "Women scars. Once Daisy nearly cut my wing off when on her time of the month!" I nodded, and watched Kairi ran up to me, with a curious glint in her eyes.
"Hey Sora!" She called out. "You know, for about a year now I have been wondering if I should ask you this but, how did you and Riku get back? I thought traveling through space was impossible after Ansem was defeated!"
"Well," I started. After we found the other door to the light, we found King Mickey and Riku, who had found a powerful Gummi Block, that could solve the whole world travel problem! The Gummi Block had the power to turn the whole ship when trying to leave a world, into light. Mickey explained that the only thing that could get past the impassible walls is light, which made Gummi Ship Travel possible now! And, he also said that all the worlds in Kingdom Hearts got a Gummi shower of the new Gummi blocks, and all the other kinds."
"AKA, the author pulled out some explanation out of his ass." Kairi said, and was about to go to the shack when all the sudden something jumped out of the trees! It was tall, skinny, and let out a frightening wail! Nobody moved, especially the drenched Goofy. Then, as he walked into the sunlight, I instantly knew whom what it was.
"Jack!" Me, Donald, and Goofy asked in unison.
"Of course!" He said, stretching his bony arms. "There is no animal or man who can scream like I can!" His horrifying glare turned into a innocent, goofy looking smile.
"But how did you get here? And why?" I Asked, how I was still holding my keyblade tensely.
"Well, first of all," He began. "I built my own ship from the Gummi blocks I found in a meteor shower. My ship was based off of the Diablo blueprint, except for a few alterations, of course. And my mean of coming here is to invite you all to the yearly Halloween Party!"
Oh yeah! Today was Halloween! How could I forget! And I didn't even have a costume!
"I think there is need of introduction here." Said Jack. "My Name is Jack Skellington, a friend of Sora's. We met in my home world, Halloween Town, when he sealed the keyhole." All my friends nodded. "Now, I have gone over a few plans for the party, so I will need to gather some of you up a little later. But for now, I have to go repair my ship, I got a bad hit from a meteor and crashed here. Say, Donald, Sora, since you two are experts at this sort of mess, can you help me with the repairs?"
"Why not?" Said Donald, who was batting around a cocoanut. I agreed with him, and ran of to follow Jack.
