Me: Hey, guys. I'm back. Right after doing questions for a program for my disability.

Jack: What's the program?

Me: It's called Project Search and it's a job training program for high school graduates who have Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD. The program is having Application Night for interviews for people who want to join.

Sally: Sounds fun. I hope they allow you to join.

Sonic: Me, too. You're good at any job at home so you should do good on this.

Elise: I agree. I hope you do good for the interview.

Me: Thank you. This is...

Suddenly mom comes in.

Mom: Okay let's look at these questions.

After a few minutes

Me: Sorry for the delay. Anyway, here's part one for The Nightmare Before Christmas (Sonic Style).


In Halloween Town, all the anthropomorphic animals celebrate Halloween every year. They even sing a little song.

Boys and girls of every age,
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see,
This our town of Halloween.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween,
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night.
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene,
Trick or treat until the neighbors gonna die of fright.
It's a our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed,
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red.
I am the one hiding under your stairs,
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween,
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.
In this town we call home,
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song.
In this town don't we love it now?
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise.
Round that corner man, hiding in the trashcan,
Something's waiting now to pounce and now you'll
SCREAM!
This is Halloween,
Red and black and slimy green.
Aren't you scared?
Well that's just fine.
Say it once, say it twice,
Take a chance and roll the dice.
Ride with the moon in the dead of night.
Everybody scream, everybody scream,
In our town of Halloween.
I am the clown with a tear away face,
Here in a flash and gone without a trace.
I am the "who" when you call "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair.
I am the shadow on the moon at night,
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween,
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Tender lumplings everywhere,
Life's no fun without a good scare.
That's our job but we're not mean,
In our town of Halloween.
In this town don't we love it now?
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise.
Skeleton Sonic will catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee make you jump out of your
SKIN!
This is Halloween, everybody scream!
Would you please make way for a very special guy.
Our man, Sonic, is king of the pumpkin patch,
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween,
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.
In this town we call home,
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song.

As everyone finished the song, a blue hedgehog with green eyes and a black and white pin stripe suit came out of the fountain. Then everyone cheered.

"It's over!" Yoshi said.

"We did it!" Wario said.

"Wasn't it terrifying?" Waluigi asked.

"What a night," Wave said.

"Great Halloween, everybody," the mayor ,Jet, said.

"I believe it was our most horrible yet," Sonic said. "Thank you, everyone."

"No. Thanks to you, Sonic," Jet said. "Without your brilliant leadership."

"Not at all, Jet," Sonic said. Everyone shouted out how cool Sonic was. Even the two witches, Peach and Daisy. The only girl who admired Sonic for who he is was a beautiful red furred rag doll hedgehog named Elise. But her master, Dr. Silver, stopped her.

"The deadly nightshade you slipped me wore off, Elise," Silver said.

"Let go!" Elise replied. So she tore off her arm and ran off to the graveyard.

"Oh, Sonic," Amy Rose said. "You make wounds ooze and flesh crawl."

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much," Sonic said.

"Hold it. We haven't given out prizes yet," Jet said. "Our first award goes to the vampires for most blood drained in a single evening. Our second and honorable mention goes to the fabulous dark lagoon leeches." Sonic walked to the graveyard in boredom. Elise was there, too, keeping the stuffing in her arm. But when the gate opened, Elise hid behind a grave. Sonic was walking to Spiral Hill and called his ghost chao, Cheese. Then Sonic sang a song about the boredom he had over the years:

There are few who deny at what I do I am the best,
For my talents are renowned far and wide.
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night,
I excel without ever even trying.
With the slightest little effort of my ghost like charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek.
With a wave of my hand and a well placed moan,
I have swept the very bravest off their feet.
Yet year after year, it the same routine
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams.
And I, Sonic the Pumpkin King,
Have grown so tired of the same old thing.
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones,
An emptiness began to grow.
There's something out there far from my home,
A longing that I've never known.
I'm the master of fright and a demon of light,
And I'll scare you right out of your pants.
To a guy in Kentucky I'm Mister Unlucky
And I'm known throughout England and France.
And since I am dead I can take off my head
To recite Shakespearean quotations.
No animal nor man can SCREAM like I can
With the furry of my recitations.
But who here would ever understand
That the Pumpkin King with a skeleton grin.
Would tire of his crown.
If they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could.
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones,
That calls out for something unknown.
The fame and praise come year after year,
Does nothing for these empty tears.

Sonic went to the Hinterlands to get away from the town's excitement. Elise reached out her hand.

"Sonic...I know how you feel," Elise said. So she went to pick deadly nightshade.


Me: Well, that's the end. And instead of "I, Jack the Pumpkin King" in "Jack's Lament", it's "I, Sonic the Pumpkin King". That's because Sonic is the main character, Jack Skellington.

Elise: And I'm Sally, Jack's close friend and future love interest.

Sonic: Emilie is making each chapter of the story long to write the lyrics to all the songs. I bet Elise will sing well like Sally did in "Sally's Song".

Me: Me, too. My mom's friend, Leeanne, loves the song. So for the Marti Gras party at my church, I'm going to sing the song for Leeanne. So all of you stay tuned for the next part. What will Sonic find in the Hinterlands? Find out soon.
