It was a crystal clear night, a perfect night for a wedding. In fact, that's exactly going on the Queen Elizabeth II cruise liner. A couple was sealing their love for each other by wedding. The happy couple danced and loved each other to their hearts content. A photographer asked to take a picture of the couple: that couple was Jack Skellington and Sally Finkelstein.
17 years and 8 months later, Jessie Skellington arrived at Camp Walden for girls in Moose Lake, Maine. Her duffel landed on top of other duffel bags. "Okay, I found my duffel," grabbed it, only to be crushed by 5 other duffel bags thrown onto the pile. Jessie pulled up her sunglasses to her head, pushing back her black bangs and asked "Now the question is: how do I get it out?" Jessie grabbed the straps of her duffel and pulled "Okay I can do this" her bag didn't move an inch "okay, no I can't!" "You must be new" Jessie heard a voice say
"How'd you know?" Jessie asked to see a girl setting down her duffel next to Jessie "You didn't know how to grab your duffel, before the apes tossed it into the heap. I would say you need some serious help" the girl said. "Thanks, it's the big black one" Jessie and looked up to see another girl pull her bag out from the bottom with trouble. "Whoa, now that's my kind of woman!" Jessie said, "Hey Tie-Dye Girl!" her friend called, and the girl turned and pointed to herself as if to say, "me?" "Can you get me my bag? It's the black one buried way in there." The girl walked over and looked for her duffel, "oh, that? No problem!" The girl it out and looked at the ID tag, "hey, you're from California?" "Do you live in Hollywood?" the first one asked, "Do you live next door to a movie star?" "Whoa, what are you guys, Lucy and Ethel? I never been to Hollywood and I live in a city called Halloween Town." Jessie explained. "Hallo-what Town?"The second one asked, "Halloween Town, It's next to Redwood State Forest. I live there with my dad, that's what he does; he kind of governs the city." Jessie explained again, "Skellington, Jessica!" the second head counselor called through the bull horn. "Here!" she said raising her hand. "Arapaho cabin" "Hey that's where we are!" They said, Jessie walked off with her new friends and turned to see a black limo pull up. A man in a pressed suit stepped out, followed by a girl that looked almost like Jessie except her hair was much longer than hers, and was wearing a black polo with khaki capris; more fashionable than Jessie's black T-shirt and jean shorts and her name was Katie.
"Well he we are, Camp Walden for girls. We traveled all the way from London for this?" The butler asked, "Well, it's rather picturesque, don't you think?"Katie asked. "Right, shall we review your mother's list? Vitamins?" "Check." "Minerals?" "Check." "Sun block, lip balm, stationary, stamps, photograph of your mother, grandfather and of course your trusty butler, me." "Got it all, I think," Katie said. "Oh and here's a little something from your grandfather: a spanking new deck of cards. Maybe you'll find somebody on this continent that can whip your toosh at poker." "Well, I doubt it but thanks, and thanks for bringing me out here, Lock" Katie said. Lock pulled Katie into a big hug and did their special handshake before giving her a farewell kiss on the head. "Have fun, old bean" "I will" Lock went back to the limo, looked back at Katie and waved. "Toodle-loo" "Toodle-loo."
