History Repeats Itself
Prologue: The birth of a tragedy
I don't own The Nightmare Before Christmas, if I did this wouldn't be fanfiction now would it?
I don't own Tragedy either, she belongs to Mizery.
I also don't own this chapter's plot, that also belongs to Mizery, edited by me of course.

The Pumpkin King continued to pace across the room, then turn around when he reached the wall, and started over. Shock sat in a chair on the other side of the room.
"Calm down will you, Jack." She looked over at him. "I'm sure Sally is fine."
It had been fifteen years since the Christmas disaster, and the death of Oogie Boogie. Jack and Sally had settled down and everything was as it was before Jack stumbled upon Christmas Town.
"How can I calm down, Shock!" Jack sat down, warily next to the witch. "I'm worried! This is our first child!" He rested his skull in his hands.
"Jack...Your over reacting. I'm sure both the child and Sally will be fine." Over the years Jack and Sally had learned to trust the trick-or-treaters, especially Shock. Jack looked up at Shock.
"Hey, where's Lock and Barrel?" He asked.
"Oh them? They went back to the tree house, they got bored." She sighed. The door across from the two suddenly flew open. Dr. Finkelstein rolled out, and looked over at Jack. The Pumpkin King jumped up and walked over to the Doctor.
"It's a girl..." The doctor said, handing a small bundle to Jack. She had black hair, with dark red tips, most of her body looked human, aside from the white skin. The only thing that stood out was that her right arm was bone, she also had a single stitch towards the bottom of her left arm.
"But...I'm afraid..." Dr. Finkelstein continued. Jack looked up from the child, Shock slowly stood up and walked over next to Jack. "Its Sally..."
"What? What happened Doctor?!" Jack searched Dr. Finkelstein's face for some sort of answer. Shock's eyes widened, she knew what was coming.
"Sally...Your wife...She didn't make it...Jack."
"W-what?!" Jack froze, his body turned rigid. He handed the child to Shock, who looked down at her and walked out.
"She's dead, Jack. She couldn't handle the child's birth."

Jack walked to the Tree House, where he was greeted by Shock, handed the child and brought into the living room.
"So what are you going to call it?" Lock asked.
"She." Shock corrected, Lock just snorted. Before Jack could answer Barrel dashed into the room.
"So I heard Sally died! Wow! Just wow! What a tragedy, eh Jack?" Barrel smiled, that was before he was hit over the head with Shock's broom.
"WHAT KIND OF THING IS THAT TO SAY?!" She hissed.
"THAT'S IT!" Jack suddenly, and sort of randomly yelled out. Shock froze from beating on Barrel, and Lock jumped at the sudden outburst.
"Eh?" The three questioned.
"Her name! Her name will be Tragedy!" Jack smiled.
"Tragedy?" Lock blinked.
"That's a good name." Barrel smiled.
"And you three." Jack nodded towards the old shrine, now boarded up. "New rule: No one, and I mean NO one is to talk about Oogie Boogie around any of the future children from this point on! Got it?!"
"Of course!" and for once, the three were serious.
