sorry it's been so long Sense I have updated, but here it is! Next chap. Coming soon! And please, if you know any, I need a new fanfic to read! Let me know if you have seen any good ones, and how I'm doing!

i don't own Halloweentown , jack or Sally.

Over the next few days, I didn't really come out of my room unless it was for food. I had repeatedly tried to leave, but jack and Sally wouldn't have it. There home was so cozy. At night, I would sometimes go sit by the fire in the living room. Once I even fell asleep on the rug. Someone had carried me upstairs, but I hardly remember. Who ever it was was tall, and thin, and boney...

I herd a sudden knock on the door. I sat up in bed and covered my nightgown with the covers.

"Come in!" To my surprise, it was Jack. At first I thought it was nick, they looked so alike. He came in, bumping his head on the door frame.

"Are you coming to town tonight? It's HALLOWEEN, after all!" Oh no. It WAS halloween. I had completely forgot...

"Oh, yes. Just give me a bit to get ready."

"Ok! We'll wait for you down stairs." He grinned and closed the door behind him. I hadn't anything nice or scary to wear...

Suddenly, I herd another knock. "Come in!" I yelled once again. It was Sally this time.

"I made you this..." She held out a red and black lace dress. Perfect.

"Wow... For me? Thank you!" I took it carefully from her. She grinned.

"Meet us down stairs when your ready."

Once I put it on, it really was stunning. It came just under my knees, and was black with dark red lace as the left sleeve, and covered the left side of the dress. It was so beautiful. I put on just a bit of makeup for once, but poked myself in the eye a few times. I brushed out my hair and put it up. I looked at myself in the mirror, taken back with what I saw. I looked... Beautiful. Really.

I went down the stairs to find all the skellingtons rushing around the house, putting in earrings, fixing costumes, and tying shoes. I waited patiently by the front door for a while, when I noticed a presence. I turned to my left to see Nick staring at me. When he realized he had been caught, he coughed and looked down at his shoes.

"Oh, uh-um... You look really nice tonight, Lithia." He blushed so much I thought he would burn alive.

"Thank you." I smiled and blushed a little more. I noticed Nick was not dressed in dressy clothes, but a costume. Then I remembered that the skellingtons would be performing the big halloween event, as they always did. Sally, on the other hand had on a beautiful black dress. She never did take much part in the scaring business. Each of the children, including Molly, had on costumes. Jack was his classic scare crow, nick had on a plain black jump suit (strange...), Angela was a banshee, Paul a demon and little Molly some sort of mutated monster. "

"Ready?" Asked Sally, as they all nodded in response. "Out the back door so no one will see you." They made there way to the back of the house as jack had moly on his shoulders and Angela and Paul under his arms. They where all so cute... Other then There terrifying costumes. Sally led me out the front door to a large , distorted crowd. Monsters where everywhere... All around me. I found I had to keep up with Sally as she walked calmly through the crowd, examining each costume. We walked around for a while, then got a bite to eat. The lights and music all crowded my mind as I tried to hold onto my sanity. I was only human, after all. These people could take it only because they weren't.

Shortly after eating, all of the lights dimmed and an immense fog covered the ground. Sally grabbed my hand and guided me to the fountain. A loud, evil laugh was herd in the distance.

A scarecrow was being carried in the air by four witches, laughing loudly. They dropped the scarecrow onto the fountain, and It landed with a thump. It wasn't moving... At all... Then, out of no where, another deep, scary laugh emerged from behind me. I turned to see a tall figure with black lights drawn all over it. The figure jumped around the crowd, doing all sorts of tricks. It suddenly sat on the fountain, lifeless, like it had been turned off. The scarecrow was gone.

A loud screech cam from the other side of the fountain, but it wasn't just a scream. It was also singing, but as it screamed. It sang the halloween song, and a banshee appeared from behind the fountain, dancing around it and getting into people's faces, making them shake with fear. It too fell lifeless on the fountain. Still no sign of a scarecrow. Everyone was singing the song now, and just then, another loud voice sang along over all the others. A deep voice. A red demon had jumped over the fountain and in front, running through the crowd. The black light figure and the banshee got up like they where puppets, and joined into the song. The scarecrow, now on fire, came around from the hanging tree. He sang the loudest along with the other monsters. He scared people as he sang. When the song was almost over, the scarecrow through a little demon dog into the air, it flipped, and he caught it. He placed it on his shoulder and they all raised there hands and heads as the last big of the song was sung. I realized then that I too had been singing. That was something I just didn't do.

The whole thing ended with fireworks blasting into the air from the sleeves of the scarecrow. The crowd cheered, and surrounded the group of monsters. They made there way behind the fountain once again.

"That was great!" Sally said as she hugged jack, now dressed in his usual suit.

"Terrific Mr. Skellington!" I said to him, as the rest if the family joined us.

"Why thank you! I'm glad you two liked it! You know, you should join us next year!" We burst into conversation as we strolled around town, chatting and laughing as always. For the first time in all my life, I felt hat I had belonged somewhere. With a family. I don't think to much about my life before all of this, but I know it was a living hell. Now I was happy. Happy...
