The Nightmare Before Gravity ch. 4
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Alright! Alright! I'm coming!" Shouts an irritated Tate Mcgucket as he heads toward the door of his Ranger Shack. He throws open the door. "Alright, now what do you want-
ROAR!
…...
Tate Mcgucket woke up off the floor with a gasp. "Wha!? Who!? Where did that monster...wait...perhaps it was a dream...yes, a warning dream...if I keep on like this I'll end up like that horrific monster!"
Quickly, he called up his dad to see if he was still up for that game of catch...
…...
"Wait, so by scaring someone a certain way...You can bring out specific emotions inside of them?" Asks Dipper. Jack nods. "Well, it mainly works on the weak minded, but yes. We have it down to a science up in Halloween town. We can bring out numerous emotions: Regret, Joy, Greed, Pride, anger, sloth, humility, diligence, charity, patience, lust-
"Lust?" Asks Mabel. "Don't ask." Stated Jack seriously. And the twins were only too eager to agree...

Stan just shakes his head in disbelief as he watches his new 'exhibit' go to work. He could still remember when he was talking about re-opening the wax exhibits as Jack walked in-
Suddenly all the wax figures came to life screaming and running for their lives. Some threw themselves at Jacks feet and begged for mercy...Long story short the Mystery Shack gained both a new exhibit and several dozen new (free)employes. Jack even had his friend Dr. Finklestein send a potion that would give them immunity to sunlight...All in all a good day to be Stan Pines...
…...
Gideon sits at 'The Club' eagerly awaiting Mabel...instead he finds himself facing a skeleton man.
"Oh. Jack Skellington, how are you? You look good, you look good."
Jack nods. "I'm doing quite well. Gideon, I shant beat around the bush. Mabel is flattered, but she sees you more of a friend. And deeply wishes that things just go back to the way things were before all this 'dating' stuff."
Gideon's eye twitches. "I...I see." "She also hopes there are no hard feelings." Continues Jack. Gideon forces a smile. " Of course not. These things happen. Bygones, you know."
Jack smiles. "Jolly good! I must say, your taking this a lot better then Mabel thought you would! Your a real good sport my boy!" Says Jack as he gets up to leave...Oblivious to Gideon glaring holes in the back of his head...
