Hi! This is my first NBC fanfic. So easy there buckos. In reality i have to force my parents to watch the movie….all year round. *giggle giggle*. OK now really A lot of people do this kind of story but there my faves, so I thought of my own.

Disclamier:: *sniffle* I don't own anyone except me and my family. And yes I DID spell disclaimer wrong. But I own BABY!!! She is a real dog and she happens to be mine.

"Da-ad…..do we really have to watch this. I mean, seriously I've seen it every year since I was 1." Here we go again the yearly argument. We have it every December. Ugh, I've been trying to get rid of Nightmare Before Christmas for years, but nooo the parents have to hide it. Now wait just a second, let's not get ahead of ourselves. My names Alison Shephard, and I hate Nightmare. It's stupid, fake, and unimaginative. Another factor would probably be the fact that I was teased as a child, I believed too much for my own good. My life practically revolved around it, and I believed one day I would find the Holiday Trees. So yeah, crappy childhood. Anyway on with the story, account, nightmare, fantasy whatever you want to call it.

"Of course we are, just like every other year for the past fourteen. You used to like it so much and now you are just different. "

"Yeah well I grew up." Of course like the good dog she is, my mutt Baby needs to go out for a walk. " You can start the movie Babe needs out." You would expect me to live next to the wood, but actually I'm the only house that have trees, but even those are few. Yet, as I watched the moon something caught my eye, so like any curious teenage girl I looked. No, I didn't see any fictional characters like I would have wished as a kid. Yet I thought there was something strange about the trees. Finally my attention was brought back to my dog. Her hackles were up, and if she weren't only 12 pounds I would probably be a little frightened. So I picked her up and walked over. Of course the moon would shining right in them. I may not like Nightmare but I absolutely love creepy things. Hmm may explain why I'm not the most popular.

Now as stepped, through the first trees, I knew there was something wrong, there were never this many trees.

"Shhh, Baby there is no reason to be growling." Even I was a little freaked out. Then suddenly there were no trees, or being exact there were only trees in a circle. Ok, now I was completely freaked out but, I was disgusted. To my dismay all the trees had paintings of holidays. Now it couldn't be my parents for they had no artistic blood, and we couldn't afford someone to do this. So to humor myself I went up to my favorite holiday, which surprise surprise was Halloween. I knocked on the side Thump, I knocked on the picture, Thump-A Thump-A. Hollow. Now I knew someone had to do this, they must have thought it funny. Maybe if I turn the doorknob someone would pop out and yell, YOU'VE BEEN PUNK'D. Maybe then it would be funny. Here I go, I thought to myself. Almost slow motion I reached for the knob.

Wow, that was really exciting. All I saw was blackness, no people or even a camera. Whatever, I wasn't even mad anymore I just wanted to go to bed. AS turned away Baby started barking with such an intensity I've never heard from her. All the sudden, it got really windy, but the trees weren't moving.

"AHH! Why me!! This isn't fair! I'm too young to die!" I had completely lost it. The wind was actually dragging me. I'm not fat but I have 126 pounds of muscle from dancing for 11 years. The last thing I saw was the door closing, and then darkness either from no light, or me fainting, probably both.

"Ugh, I have got such a freakin headache." I must have been asleep for hours. Man my mom must be freaking. Spazs. I felt Baby nudging my side, so reluctantly I got up. Rubbing my eyes, I saw that I wasn't in Kansas anymore (I don't really live in Kansas. I live in WV USA) The moon was not a sliver anymore but full. I looked down to brush any dirt off myself, but I didn't see my normal skinny jeans and t-shirt, but a dress that looked a lot like my Halloween costume, which was strange because I threw it out after being grounded on Halloween. I finally started to realize something was wrong. I looked around at my surroundings. Instead of seeing dead grass and houses, I saw pumpkins and a strangely familiar hill, that was spiraled. Then I realized where this place was

"Oh you have got to be kidding me. Of all the dreams I could have it has to be this." I almost didn't want to look at my dog but I did. I screamed like a banshee, that couldn't be my dog, in her place a ghost appearance of her, except she didn't have legs. She just floated there like nothing was different. I decided to go along with the flow as long as…..

"Hello, is anyone there? I know I heard you in fact I think everyone heard you." No freaking way, now I knew this was a dream. Who would be there but ofcourse, Pumpkin King Jack. It may be a dream, but I didn't want to get it out of hand. I dove into a bush.

"Hello? Are you sure no one's here? Ah no worries, must have been Boogie's boys." Jack laughed, almost sinisterly, " but they aren't really Boogie's boys anymore are they?" As Jack was busy with his lament, Zero came over to the bush nosing around.

"Baby stop that. He's going to find us. Leave the dog alone." Zero floated away as Jack walked back to where ever he came from. I waited a few minutes before getting up. Hmm, he was talking about Lock, Shock, and Barrel. That must mean this takes place after the movie. Maybe this dream isn't a dream at all. I don't have this kind of imagination. I decided to walk in the opposite direction of the King. I must have been walking in circles because I ended up at the bush again. Ugh, that means I have to go the same way as him. This time it seemed to go straight. Thankfully I didn't run into anybody. Then I saw it, the twisted iron gate with the knarled name of "Halloweentown'. I decided not to enter, and I was going to head back and try to find a way home.

"Hello, who are you?" A voice whispered at me from behind tone of the many gravestones. Darn it, I was hoping noone would see me. Then that person stood up. Then like the chicken I was I passed out yt again

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! CLIFFIE!!! Now who is the person, why is Alison in a costume,is it a dream or reality. Ha! If you want to know you have to review and/or fave. I'm sorry if it wwas slow, but it's the beginning give it a chance.
