*Prologue: A New Pumpkin Queen*

T'was a long time ago, longer now than it seems.
It has been over a year since Jack Skellington took over Christmas, saved Santa Claus, and defeated Oogie Boogie. He has found what he was missing all along. He has found love.
Now on a month of New Year's, Jack Skellington will have a Queen of Halloween.

Sally couldn't believe it's happening to her now. She looks at herself in the mirror, wearing her wedding gown that is designed by her, but had help from the witches who are her bridesmaids. The dress is gray, and there are cobweb patterns around, and her veil is cobweb. Her hair is in curls with orange flowers in her hair and a black rose along with them. A bark is heard from below her. Sally looked down to see Zero with a bouquet of black roses in his mouth with a smile. The ragdoll smiled and took the bouquet.

"Thank you, Zero." Sally said, petting his ghostly body. Zero made a backflip, bark happily at her. "Soon, you will be my dog. We can be together." Sally told the ghost dog. Zero smiled. The ghost dog is very close to Sally after the Christmas incident. He is happy for his master that he had found the one he is looking for. Halloween Town will soon have a Pumpkin Queen. "I must finish getting ready, Zero." Sally said, returning to her mirror. Zero nodded and went out of the room by going through the walls.

Jack fixes his bowtie and took a look at himself in a mirror. He is wearing a white suit that is similar to his pinstripe one, but this one is reversible. Inside the white suit, there is black. Jack smiled at himself, looking so perfect for this special night. He can't believe he is getting married to a beautiful ragdoll. He remembered a month ago when he proposed to her on the Spiral Hill. It was a magical night.
He heard the door knock, and the Mayor came in with a grin on his face.

"Jack? You almost ready? Everyone is in their seats." He asked.

"Just about ready, Mayor." Jack replied by facing him. "And Mayor, I don't know how to thank you for all of this. Use a Town Hall for the wedding, you perform a service, Zero the ring bearer, and have everyone here on this special day."

"Oh Jack, it's no trouble at all. You are the Pumpkin King and you have found a special lady who is going to be the new queen." The Mayor said. "I'm so happy for both of you, my boy."

"Thank you." Jack brushed down his suit and left the room to get to the main hall. The Mayor followed him to get to the stage.

The citizens of Halloween Town are in their seats, waiting for the wedding to begin. Zero has a white pillow in his mouth that held the rings. Even the Boogie Boys were forced to be part of the wedding for taking Santa Claus to Oogie Boogie. Shock must be a flower girl, Lock and Barrel were snickering at her because of that, and it Shock wanted to choke them for laughing at her girly appearance. The three children hated the idea of being at the wedding, but they are looking forward for the cake.
After everyone got in their places, the Halloween Town band started to play the wedding march. Shock walk pass everyone, throwing rose pedals around with a neutral look. She stood by the boys who held back their giggles at her. Everyone turned around to see the front doors to see Dr. Finkelstein with his creation, Sally. Everyone stood respectively as Sally was lead by her creator up the stage where Jack stood along with the Mayor. Jack couldn't believe what he is seeing. His future queen and wife, in a beautiful wedding gown. The bride got close to the stage, and Jack took her hand to help up her. Dr. Finkelstein couldn't help but to smile at the two before wheeling himself over next to the seat in front where Jewel was sitting. The Mayor opened the black book and cleared his throat to begin the ceremony. The bride and groom look at the Mayor with smiles.

"Dearly beloved, we gather here tonight..." The Mayor went on as everyone in the Town Hall were listening and watch the bride and groom with smiles, and a few tears were filled in their eyes. Sally held back her tears when she faces Jack with a loving smile. This is finally happening. She is marrying the Pumpkin King she loves. And she will be the Pumpkin Queen of Halloween Town.
After the vows, Zero went up to Jack and Sally to give them the rings. They took the rings. Jack slid the diamond ring on Sally's finger. The ring is gold with a orange diamond on top with silver diamonds around it. Sally slid the gold ring on Jack's finger. The Mayor smiled at the two.

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife. King and Queen of Halloween. You may now kiss the bride." He said, closing the book. Jack and Sally came close to each other, and lean in for a kiss. As their lips touch, everyone started to applaud for them. Dr. Finkelstein wiped a tear away from his left eye. His creation is now a queen. Jack and Sally pulled away from a kiss and face the citizens of Halloween Town.

"Congratulations, you two!" The witches called from their seats.

"Sally is our new Pumpkin Queen!" The Clown cheered.

"Hail the queen!" The Hanging Tree's hanging men chanted. Sally smiled at everyone. She was loved by everyone now.

Outside the Town Hall, the party is around the plaza The band was playing music while everyone else is roaming around talking. The Mayor walked up to Jack and Sally.

"Congratulations. I'm so happy for you." He said.

"Thank you, Mayor. Everything was perfect." Jack said. "And this year's Halloween will be the most horrible yet. Sally will make it memorable." The ragdoll looked up at him. Sure she is now queen, but she doesn't know how to be responsible for the holiday. But, she will worry about that later since Halloween was only months away.

"Jack! Sally!" Lock, Shock, and Barrel called. The two turned to see the three come up to them. "Someone's here to visit you!" They said.

"Who?" Sally asked. Then, she and Jack heard a familiar voice coming in the plaza. Jack gasped when he sees Santa Claus and his wife, Mrs. Claus with their two year old in her arms.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Skellington!" Santa greeted. "I thought we'd drop in after hearing the news. Congratulations."

"Oh thank you, Mr. Claws." Jack said with a grin. "Nice of you to drop by. How was Christmas?"

"Oh, it went so well. After all what happened last year, people in the real world seemed to recover." Santa said. Jack scratched his skull with a nervous chuckle. Sally came over to Mrs. Claus and see her son.

"And who is this little one?" She asked.

"Oh, this is our son, Cane Claus." Mrs. Claus replied. Sally looked down at the two year who stared back in wonder, sucking on his red pacifier. She smiled at him. The child is so cute and has rosy cheeks. Just like his parents. Jack and Santa turned to see their wives getting along, even Sally is interested in Cane by playing peek-a-boo at him. Jack smiled at the sight of this. Sally was great with children.

"Have you thought about having children one day, Jack?" Santa asked.

"Oh. Well, yes. Someday." Jack replied. He looks over at his bride who is now holding Cane. Sally was giggling when Cane gently grabbed her red hair to pull off her flowers. Jack thought about having children someday. Halloween Town would love to have heirs. Right now, this is just a beginning.

*Author's Note: Again, another rewrite because last time no one wrote any reviews and gave up on the story. But when people on deviantart ask me what happen to it, well, I guess I should revive this one last time. And since this Halloween will be the 25th Anniversary of TNBC, this will be a great time to write this and finish it for sure to celebrate of our favorite Disney and Tim Burton film.
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy!*
