Alright, I have most of this planned out on paper, so updates should be realativly fast. Thanks to Musically, who reviews almost all my works, you ROCK!
Their Aunt and Uncle, walking hand in hand, led them to the townsquare, where an odd, morbid sort of celebration was in progress. A squat, two-faced man rushed up to them.
"Spectacular Halloween Jack! Oh, are these the niece and nephew you were talking about?" he asked, staring uneasily at Grim and Cassandra.
Jack laughed, "Yes, may I introduce you to Cassandra and Grim Reaper." he announced. The mayor shook both of their hands. "Ah yes, the ball is going to start, and you and Sally have the first dance." the mayor said, gesturing at a large open space in the square.
Jack turned to the kids. "Now dont go wandering off." he said. Then he turned to Sally. "Shall we?" he asked, sticking out his arm.
"We Shall." Sally looped her arm through his and they headed out onto the dance floor.
"Eww, they're all romantic and stuff." Grim said, sticking out his bony tongue. "I think it's cute, you're so immature." said Cassie, setting down her bags. They watched as the band began to play a slow song. Uncle Jack and Aunt Sally started to beautifully dance to it. "Wow, they're good at dancing eh Cassie? Cass?" he turned around to see his sister already talking to a group of boys.
'That didn't take long.' thought Grim. He wandered around a bit, until he ran into someone, knocking them to the ground.
"Sorry! Guess I didn't see you there." he paologized quickly. And Grim, like his uncle, a gentleman at heart, helped the person up. He noticed the person in question was a pretty witch about his age. "Its okay, maybe a dance would make it better?" asked the girl mischieviously. "Uh, um..." Grim stuttered. "Is that a yes or a no?" she asked. Grim couldn't talk, so he nodded yes. The witch laughed and took his hand, leading him onto the dance floor.
"Are you sure its okay?" Jack asked Sally as they were dancing. "Jack, its fine. I'm sure your niece and nephew are wonderful." said Sally. Jack smiled.
"Isn't that your nephew dancing with that witch?" Sally asked, gesturing with her head towards Grim. "Well, it looks like Grim must have some Skellington in him after all, he already has a date." Jack said slyly. Sally rolled her eyes. Jack suddenly swooped her down in a tango like pose, then grabbed a rose and put it in his mouth, grinning at Sally. She couldn't help but swoon a little. She always had been a hopeless romantic at heart. He lifted her gently back up into a regular dancing position. He still had the rose in his mouth when the band started their second song, a fast, spanish tango.
'Oh no.' thought Sally. She had just mastered slow dancing, now she was supposed to tango? But Jack immiediatly got into it, shaking his shoulders and leaning back and forth, forcing Sally to do opposite of him. He then swooped her upside down over his head, righting her as her feet touched the ground. He always was a good dancer. The song grew faster and faster, and while Jack was enjoying dancing with Sally, Sally was fearing to be horribly ridiculed if she messed up. She pleaded silently for the song to stop. Finally it did, just as Jack threw her up in the air then caught her.
"That was fun." he said happily as they left to find the kids. "yeah." Sally said, as she was calming her nerves.
After the dance, the witch left with a group of friends. Grim looked over and saw Cassie standing with Jack and Sally, a group of witches gathered around, talking about how cute she was.
'Show off.' Grim muttered. He started towards them. Just as he reached the group, Cassie purposely stuck her foot out and tripped him. He fell and landed in the bobbing for apples cauldron. He was soaked to the bone, and the entire population of HalloweenTown was laughing their heads off. Jakc tried getting the crowd to quiet.
"Come on now, this isn't April Fools Day." he shouted, but hte crowd was in hysterics. Grim felt tears well up in his eyes. "Shut up!" he yelled, then ran off.
"Oh dear." said Sally.
