"Kerry!!" Jack called to his little princess, "Hurry up!! We need to drop
you off at Dr. Finkelstines!" "Coming dad!" she raced downstairs and jumped
into her father's arms. She was 9 years old, tall for her age, and was
almost an exact replica of Sally. Her parents were so proud of her, and she
was the love of their life. They usually went everywhere together, but
tonight was different.
The Mayor had called for an 'Adult Banquet' and as much as the Mayor loved Kerry, she couldn't go. So, they went to Finklestines.
The doorbell rung through the large laboratory, and Rubius (the doctors name, and how he will hence forth be referred to) wheeled around and flew down the stairs. "Who is it?" he called. "It's the Skellingtons" came the reply. "Ooh the Skellingtons then, excellent, come in, come in." the doctor opened the door, and Sally and Jack were stunned at what the saw. "D- doctor?" sally stammered. "Yes, yes, I've changed quite a bit eh? Ha ha, truly marvelous. Anyway, what ever do you need?" Rubius asked. "Do you mind babysitting Kerry while we're at the banquet?" asked Jack. "Jack my boy," the doctor laughed, "I'm going, too! However, I will leave her with Igor, if that is ok with you." The doctor stated. " Oh, uhh, yes, that would be fine, thank you." Said Jack. "See you there, then." Said the Doctor, and the Skellingtons walked away, unknown of what was to come.
"Ok Kerry, wait right here while I go get Igor." Said Rubius. He flew up the stairs and into his laboratory. " Oogie," he said, " When I leave, I want you to take Kerry over to your Manor and prepare for Jacks arrival. I will be there early. Is that clear?" the evil doctor asked. "Crystal sir!" Oogie said, mocking the doctor's tone. "Yes great nice attitude." The doc said sarcastically. He then walked downstairs to Kerry. "Alright Kerry dear Igor will be down soon, I must go to the banquet." And off he went.
Kerry sat on the floor and slightly teetered around, looking at the doctor's weird house when she saw a large shadow with eyes and a mouth. When she looked back at it, it was gone. Then she started to hear things. "Mommy.." She whispered, frightened now. Suddenly a booming laughter filled the room, and Kerry looked around very frightened now. "Well, well, well," came the deep voice of Oogie Boogie behind her. She wheeled around. "What have we here?" he chuckled a bit and scooped her up, scurried outside and ducking and sneaking his way back to Oogie Manor.
