Chapter 1.- New heroes, old friends.
It's October 31 in the afternoon, it's Halloween, so we se the Skellington family going to the Hinterlands, to a place even more peculiar than the town, a place called Seven Holidays. The family walks quietly in silence, until the youngs asks a question:
- Mom, dad, what's what they call Halloween? - The kids said to the unison.
Sally and Jack stared one second, then both nodded and Sally said:
- Well, have you ever wondered where the holidays come from?
- No, no really. - The little skelleton answered.
- "Twas a long time ago..." - The father of the boys said.
- "longer now that it seems..." - Sally said.
- "in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams." - Jack added.
- "For the story that you are about to be told..."
- "took place in the holiday worlds of old."
- "Now, you've probably wondered where the holidays come from..."
- "If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun." - Jack and Sally said opening the Halloween holiday door, which their children passed through.
- Watch your step. - Sally warned.
Jack closed the door and children walked through a dark extreme, but far managed to see what looked like a sign, came and saw it was a scarecrow with a sign that said "Halloween Town" and pointed in one direction. The kids went where the scarecrow pointed out and began to hear a song that sounded familiar. When they came out of the darkness, they were in a cemetery; they saw shadows on some tombstones started talking to the sound of the song that finally acknowledged, "This is Halloween ".
- "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 makes a scene..."
- "Trick or treat till the neighbors are gonna die of fright..."
- "It's 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? Everybody's waiting for the next surprise."
- "Round that corner, man..."
- "Hiding in the trash can..."
- "Something's waiting now to pounce and make you .. SCREAM!
- "This is Halloween!..."
- "Red n' black..."
- "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 this town of Halloween."
- "I am the clown with the 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 in 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."
- "Skelleton Jack might catch you in the background,
Scream! Like a banshee make you jump out of your skin! -The town sang while a freaky creature took the right foot of Jack and Jenny.
- "This is Halloween, everybody scream!
Won't you please make way for a very special guy?." - The crowd sang again as the creature stood up and left the ground.
- "Our man Jack,
It's 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"
- ", Weeee!"
- MOMMY! - Jack Jr. yelled completely terrified.
- Jack Jack!, calm down, it's me, it's dad - The horrible creature told him as it returned to normal.
- NO, NO, LET ME GO! - The kid responded.
- Seek inside yourself, I am your father. - The Pumpkin King replied.
- Dad, that was great! - Jenny exclaimed - I've never seen so much horror in just one night!
- You're incredible, dad! - Demian added.
- Thank you, my children. - Turns to see Jack Jr. - Jack, are you OK now? - Asked to the still terrified Jack Jr.
- Y...yeah, I'm fine. -The young boy stammered.
- This Halloween was the most horrible in history! - The Mayor shouted very happy. - Now let's all go to the party that will be held at the town hall. - Added pointing the only building in the plaza.
- Hey, Jack! Aren't you turning to see your ol' friends? Or is "The Great Pumpkin King" too much proud to do that? - A voice that Jack knew very well asked.
Jack turned aroud to see his old friend, Interpol's detective, Sly Cooper.
- You, double-faced raccoon! - Exclaimed mockingly - Come here! - He said going to hug his friend.
Jack and Sly embraced, because they haven't seen in four long years. While hugging, Jack noticed something metalic in Sly's chest, which missed him. When they finished hugging, Jack saw it was a badge, but not any badge, it said "DETECTIVE" and had written below "SLY COOPER".
- So you're detective. Jack said surprised. - Who have ever imagined that you, Sly Cooper, will become one of the best police officers. - Added.
- And what about us? We've got important places too. John said McArthey, aka "Master Chief".
- This is like a reunion of former students, don't ya think. - Sly admitted.
- Yep, did you brought any other surprise? - Jack asked to his friends.
- Of course. - Carmelita replied.
- Carmelita Montoya Cooper Fox, the head of Interpol... and also my best friend. - Sally said with a touch of mistery.
Sally hugged Carmelita (Definitely the difference in heights was less tan the one was with Sly and Jack)
-Lemme guess. - Sally spoke after the hug. - You brought your children, didn't you? - She asked pretty sure the answer would be yes.
- Yep, Laura, Connor, Oscar, Allyson, get out of wherever you are. - Carmelita ordered to her children.
A raccoon, a fox and two red-haired raccoons appeared behind the fountain in the plaza as their mother called them.
- Hello, uncles Jack and Sally. - Connor and the Cooper twins said(Jack and Sally are not their uncles by blood, but they are very good friends of their parents).
- Hi, godfather. - Laura said hugging Jack.
- James' at school, but Lily and Albus could come. - Harry said.
- David and Cameron are here too. - John continued.
- Ben too. - Luke added.
- Jiraiya came too. - Naruto said.
- Neither Gohan, nor Goten wanted to come. - Goku said totally calmed.
- Your nephews came too, Jack. - Jack's sister in law, Mandy, said.
- Nice to see you again, Pumpkin King. - Minnie said politely.
- Hi uncle Jack. - Grim Jr. said.
- Hi Junior, hi Minnie. - Jack Jr. said.
- I see you haven't changed much, my ol' friend. - Laura Cooper said to him.
- So you came too, huh? - The little skelleton responded to her.
- Didn't you heared my dad, or what? - The little raccoon asked sarcastically.
- Stop fighting. - David said.
- Let's go to the town hall, there will be the party. - Jack said to everyone.
Already in the party, we see a boring Jack Jr., who watched his father and his mother danced with amazing grace.
Laura, meanwhile, was gathering her other friends for a kind of secret plan to steal all the food (She is so similar to his father). Soon after, Laura and her group were discovered by Goku. While Jenny began to dance with her father, the people said:
- She's so graceful for dancing. - A witch said.
- She dance as well as her parents. - Another witch.
- Exhibicionist. - Jack Jr. thought.
- What are you doing here? You shouldn't be so alone, you wanna dance with me?-Carmelita asked to Jack Jr.
- Huh? Oh!, Err, sure, why not, godmother? - The kid responded.
While they walked up to the dancefloor, they saw Sly dancing with Ginny and Sally dancing with John.
- Just follow my steps, like this, 1, 2 , 3, you see? - Carmelita said to Jack Jr.
- You mean... LIKE THIS! - The kid replied, dancing in a crazy and uncontrolled way.
All focused their attention on the young, making jumps and spins out of control, and when he passed by her sister said very quietly:
- Ha! Take this, Jenny! You just have been... - He managed to say before stambbling with Jenny's foot. - beateeeen! - And he fell in the game "Boobing for pumpkins"(Yes, pumpkins). When he fell his head was pulled away and her sister put it in its place saying:
- Forgive me brother, I didn't want you to become the mockery of everyone here. - She said kneeled placing Jack's head in its place.
Our friend had a pumpkin in his mouth, so he said somethin' like this:
- I'MF FETTINF OUF FOF FERE! - He said really pissed off.
People at the party laughed as if they were mad, But someone does is unhinged, Jack got angry, he stood up and slammed his fist at the table in were he was sitting, so hard that he destroyed it.
- SHUT THE FUCK UP IMMEDIATELY, OR I'LL KILL YOU ALL! - Jack threatened very angry.
The crowd immediately fell silent when they heard Jack's threat.
- Calm down, Jack, please. - Sally asked trying to sit Jack . - Can anyone bring us another table, please? - Asked Sally again.
Jack sat down again, still angry, and John, with help from Sly took another table with them.
- Take it easy Jack, everything will be just fine. - Sly said arming the table he had brought with John.
- What may never get along those two, or what? - Jack asked sarcastically to himself.
- Give your son a time and his anger will pass. - John replied to Jack.
- I have a bad feeling about this. - Sally said quietly.
While Jack Jr. left the party, her mother felt that something very bad was about to happen. Meanwhile, Jack Jr. was sitting in the town's fountain cursing (Yes, kids of today).
- Stupid Jenny... stupid village... stupid party... stupid Halloween. -He muttered angrily to himself.
Just then, he heard a bark. He turned to see what barked and saw that it was Zero, his family's ghost dog.
-Hey, Zero! How have you been boy? - Jack Jr. asked petting the dog's head. - So you're alone too, eh? Added. - You wanna play?-Asked to Zero.
Zero barked in agreement and the boy took one of his ribs to throw. Zero flew after Jack's bone, and returned with it in its muzzle.
- So you're really fast, eh? - Jack Jr. asked challenging. - How about... THIS! He shouted before throwing his rib again but harder.
Zero went after the bone again, meanwhile, Demian, Jack's younger brother, had found them.
- Little-Jack! - Demian shouted. - Finally I found you! - He said hugging her brother.
- Demian! - Jack Jr. responded to the hug. - What are you doing here?-He asked.
- I came for you, Dad asked me to take you to the party. - Demian replied.
- I will not return if Jenny is still there! It's her fault that all this happened! - Jack yelled angrily.
- Come on, it's not her fault, if you haven't... - Demian managed to reply.
- Shut up, Demian! - Jack Jr. ordered angrily. - The culprit is Jenny and I will not be thinking the opposite! He added.
The Skellington brothers began to insult with nonsense (Ah, kids today, in my time that never would happen) and almost fight. However, they didn't noticed that three little people were watching. These people sneak up on Jack and Demian, and, without noticing, they knocked'em out and put them in a sack. Then, laughing and whispering evilly, took them to the old lair of Oogie Boogie.
