Disclaimer: I do not own Nightmare before Christmas. No matter how much I did. Do I have to put this on every one? Hmm…

Nintendo- haha so, you make my day. Just saying :]

Angel- Hey!

Raven- of course! I was just focusing on getting to know the main couple. It will generally follow the movie… kinda. Haha d:

I am the happiest person on earth, its official.

"R-really? you like me?"

He bows his head and answers, "Of course I like you."

"Is he blushing? I've never seen him blush before. Jack is always looked up to and is the most outgoing guy I know. He is president of like, everything and always has the answer. He's known as the school's 'pumpkin king' for crying out loud. Yeah, it must be my imagination."

I feel his grip tighten and look down only just now noticing his bag warm hands have moved their way from my wrist to my hand. Normally, I would pull away, but his touch is comforting somehow.

I look be up to see him smiling his toothy grin at me. I wish this moment could last forever, but suddenly I remember I'm holding him up from his meeting.

"Jack, I'm so sorry. Your meeting. I wasn't thinking, and you should go back.

"Oh yes, I probably should."

I try my best to hide my disappointment and let go of his hand. I miss its warmth immediately. Then I hear him chuckle. A little smirk is playing at his lips.

"I should go, yes. However, the way I see it, I'm so late already, what's another ten minutes or so? Come on, let me walk you home."

And just like that, he takes my hand again and we start walking down the street. We walk slowly and although no one is talking, I feel so happy.

The leaves are all shades of colors and that perfect autumn chilly air surrounds us. The crunch of leaves beneath us and the sound of our breath make up for the silence wonderfully.

As we round the last corner we slow down even more.

"So, jack. Looking forward to Halloween?"

"Because that isn't obvious or anything…"

"Oh, yes. Halloween. Of course I am."

"Why doesn't he sound exited. Must be tired."

"haha I suppose so. I love the end of the year; there are so many different holidays to enjoy!"

"I agree. But I have troubles with which is my absolute favorite sometimes. Which I know is weird considering this town is pro Halloween-is-the-best. Sorry, that's weird. Forget I said anything."

"Oh, no. it makes perfect sense, jack. Sometimes I stop and wonder If only we could wrap them all in one. Haha but then I realize how much of a disaster that would be."

"Haha that would be quite the train wreck."

We walk up to my house smiling at each other.

When we get to my doorstep, we stop and stare. It was as if we were willing my house to just go away and not be a reason to separate us, but alas… it failed to work.

Our goodbye was short and then he was gone all too soon.

A few hours had passed and the sun had disappeared leaving a beautiful, big moon in its stead. I give up on homework and go to sit on my window ledge, brush in hand.

When I'm brushing my hair on that ledge while feeling the soft breeze, I calm down immediately. It's also where I do my best daydreaming. Before I know it, I'm asleep.

I'm standing in the graveyard beneath the curving mountain and it's the cool Halloween night I love, but I don't know where my jack went. I stand alone and confused. It's as if someone hit a slow motion button as I walk towards the mountain.

I hear the softest melody in the background and look up to the mountain. There I see jack and this adorable white cat next to him.

I want to call out to him, but something tells me I shouldn't. I take a soft step closer and hear him speaking. No I hear him singing. So I quickly duck behind the nearest grave stone marker and listen.

"Year after year it's the same old routine. And I jack, "the pumpkin king", have grown so tired of the same old thing. And somewhere deep, inside of these bones… an emptiness began to grow. There's something out there, far from my home. This longing that I have never known… But who here would ever understand that the pumpkin king, would tire of his crown? If they only understood, that' he'd give it all up, if he only could."

"Wait, Jack's lonely? How could that be?"

I carefully watch him and just want to hug him because he looks so lost and hurt. I want to console him, any way I can. I open my mouth to speak and am suddenly engulfed by light. I open my eyes and wake up with a start.

The dream had felt so real, I was confused to see my bedroom and father by the light switch.

"Time to get up sally, I know it's a weekend but there's no need to sleep in THIS late."

I roll out of bed and hit the floor, yet again. I don't bother changing and go downstairs to pour myself a bowl of life cereal.

After throwing on some jeans and a long-sleeved flowy white shirt, I decide to go for a walk to help clear my head and hallow decides to come along.

I love my cat, for she never runs away and I can just go on walks with her. I tell her all my problems and she always meows at just the right spot.

It's as if she can really understand me sometimes.

I enter the park and it's a chilly afternoon. I really did sleep in. I'm surprised there is no one here. This park is usually filled with little children and their exhausted parents.

I'm talking about my dream with jack and it's meaning when Hallow suddenly runs across the park. She never runs away from me, so I take after her calling her name.

I get through the group of trees on the far side of the park am in the lovers meadow. It's said couples would come here and kiss in the dead center with no one else around, because then they would always be together. It's a stupid rumor, but I still always feel awkward here.

I hear a meow and run for it. There's Hallow, and another cat? It's pure white fur, yellow eyes, and red nose were identical to the one I saw I'm my dream last night. Suddenly I hear heavy breathing behind me.

I slowly turn around expecting it to be some tall, sketchy man who would steal me away, but I was never more relieved to see not some scary guy, but my dear jack.

He looks exhausted and I know he was just running after his cat as well.

"Jack, you ok?"

He quickly focuses on me and he is clearly surprised to see me as well.

"Oh, sally. Hello. I was just looking for my cat, his name is zero. Maybe you've seen him."

Before he even explains his cat I take a step to the side revealing the two cats, lost in each other's eyes.

Jack laughs, walks up by my side and says, "That little player! Haha is the black one yours? She's beautiful."

Hallow smiles and meows. Like I said, she knows just what you're saying, especially if its praising her.

I smile and look over to jack, only to realize. I was in the middle of lover's meadow, with jack. Well, I guess the cats are here.

As if on cue, they leave walking side by side. I'm part worried, but part nervous. I'm alone with jack.

I was suddenly tempted to turn and kiss him, so that we would always be together.

I notice he's looking at me too.

"Could this be my first kiss? Maybe the rumor will come true and we will always be together. My sweet jack, he's so close and when he looks at me with those eyes... "

"Hey, sally. I need to tell you something."
