Disclaimer: The Nightmare Before Christmas is NOT mine (you know it plainly states so in the title "Tim Burton's NBC but then again I could be wrong) I don't own the movie, or it's characters (if I did I would be rich wouldn't I?) the only thing I DO own is Bones, but YOU CAN'T HAVE HER!!!!!!!!!

CHAPTER 1: THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS
"Jack..." She whispered. Jack looked around quickly, trying to find the owner of the beautiful voice. "Come on Jack..." She giggled. He spun quickly once more and saw her mass of beautiful hair. She was running ahead of him. He chased after her, this game was always the same. She wouldn't stop until he caught her, and his legs were MUCH longer than her's. Her laugh rang in his ears, but she got closer and closer to him. Her smaller body radiating heat. When he got close he pushed his body weight forward, tackling her onto the pumpkin patch, rolling playfully laughing until he lay over her. Running his bony fingers through her hair, looking down at her beautiful face. her black lip caught in her pearly white teeth.
"I love you Jack." She whispered.
"And I love you." he answered. She came up and pressed her lips against his. There was no better place than this, no better way to be than with her.
"But what about Sally?" She asked.
"I'll take care of Sally...don't worry." he answered.
"I don't know Jack..." she started. "I think you'd better wake up."
"Huh?"
"Wake up! Wake up! Jack wake up!" Sally voice persisted as he felt her soft hands shake him gently. His eyes focused on her slightly lopsided face. She was beautiful, and ah Sally..."Come on Jack the Mayor is waiting for you." She smiled.
Jack got out of bed and splashed cold water on his face. It was that dream again. Why did he keep having it? Sally was the love of his life!
She wrapped her arms tighter around her body and shivered a bit. Her eyes shut tight images flew past her head, her ears rang with their tauntings. Her skin was sickly blue from the cold, how long had she been running? A few days maybe. She shuddered at the tought of ValentineTown. Everyone had been so cruel there, they had always made fun of her. She wasn't like everyone else in ValentineTown. Her favorite color wasn't white, or pink, or red, it was black. She didn't have someone she wasn't horribly in love with, she didn't like to make little paper hearts all the time and sing love songs. No she loved the human holdiay Halloween. To her there was nothing more beautiful in the world. Sreams were like music to her ears, and no one judged anyone. Her eyes opened and she slowly took in the world around her. Everything was...beautiful. Well she sure as hell wasn't in ValentineTown anymore. Everything was so dark and...oh she finally felt like she was home. Even that deathly cold chill that ran up her spine felt welcoming.
She wrapped her arms tighter about her, her black lip caught in her teeth, a terrible habit she never tried to drop. She walked past a rotting pumpkin patch, and a friendly curving hill, until she saw a treehouse. The poor thing seemed to want to collapse, but something held it up...surely not magic she laughed. It was then that she saw them come out. A witch, a Devil, and a Skeleton. They were children...well no not children. Maybe twelve or thirteen at the oldest. They were each so adorable, so...
They snapped their heads around and looked at her.
Lock started up at her. She was beautiful. Long black hair, long beautiful eyelashes that batted around slime green eyes. Her eyes were so bright they reminded him of cats and snakes and the way their eyes looked like something not of this world. Her skin was blue when they found her from the cold, but after a hot bowl of Snake and Spider Stew it returned to it's blushing pink from heat, and then white. Her fingers were long and slender, and it occured to him that she came from that weird forest with all the doors. Did she come from one of the doors?
"Thank you that was very good." She smiled as she pushed the bowl away.
"Well now what do we do? We can't just kep her here." Jock sighed.
"YES WE CAN!" Lock cried.
"NO WE CAN'T!" Jock cried.
"I would like to stay..." She started softly.
"Youw would?" The three asked in unison.
"Well yes. If you don't mind. I can cook, and clean if you want. Just don't send me back."
"Back where?" Barrel asked.
"ValentineTown."
"I KNEW IT! I knew you weren't from here!" Lock cried.
"No I'm not. I ran away." She sighed.
"Well...why don't we take her to Jack. He'll know what to do." Barrel offered.
"Yes Jack!" Lock and Jock nodded. Bones just stared at the three. Who was Jack?
Jack leaned back in his chair. It was December in the human's world. He chuckled to himself as he thought of the Christmas many years ago. How many years? Maybe seven or eight years ago. Time went by so fast...
"Jack there's someone here to see you!" Sally called. Jack let out a short laugh. Santa wasn't sending another elf to remind him of his promise? He had done so three years in a row after what happened, it was silly. He didn't want to go through all that trouble AGAIN. Well may as well see who it is.
He ducked his doorway and nearly lost his head when he saw her standing there. She was more beautiful in person than in his dreams.
"JACK JACK! This is Bones. We found her in the Pumpkin patch! She's from TurketTown!" Barrel said excitedly as he hopped up and down on his chair.
"ValentineTown!" Jock snapped. "Stupid." She sighed.
"ValentineTown?" Jack asked trying to collect himself. He had made it his business to know the other holdidays, bit could never quite remember their names.
"Yes. It's in Feburary when everyone 'falls in love'." She started.
"Oh yes! I know. It was behind the Heart shaped door."
"Yes that's the one." She smiled.
"Oh well...what bring you to HalloweenTown?" He asked.
"Is that where I am?! HalloweenTown?"
"Yes where did you think you were?"
"Well I didn't know...but I do love Halloween. That's why I left home. Everyone made fun of me." she whispered.
"Why don't you tell me?" Jack asked as he sat down in front of her. Placing a hand over her own. She started up at him, she was absolutely gorgeous...
Lock tried to hold in his anger, and Sally was feeling umcomfortable. She didn't like the way they were looking at eachother.
Think of Sally, the love of your life. Come on get yourself together Jack! Why are you doubting yourself?! Sally understands you better than anyone! Now put your bones in place and listen to her! She needs your help! His mind screamed. She opened her mouth and with a long sigh began...
Okay that's the end. Ummm please R&R I wanna know if I should pull the plug or keep going....
