Disclaimer: I don't own NBC it's characters or anything related to it (except the DVD which ROCKS!!!!!) so please don't sue me cuz I don't have any money, the only thing I own is the character Bones and you can't have her! (unless you ask me real nice then I'll think about it :D)


OH YEAH ONE MORE THING!!!!!!! Thank you reviewer for correcting me on "Jock"s name. It turns out it's "Shock", since I went to my DVD to consult on the matter. So a word to the wiser, never listen to your friend who's only seen the movie once, when you know damn well you watch it EVERYDAY...HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH! Thanks and enjoy


CHAPTER 2: "See it all started..."

Jack stared deep into her eyes for a moment. He let out a quick sigh and said:
"It's okay just tell me. What happened? Why did you come here?"
"Well I didn't plan on coming here. I mean...I just ran. See this is how it is: I never liked ValentineTown. Everyone seems really nice there but they're not really."
"How is that?"
"Well if you're not in love with something or someone you must be a freak. We spend all year making candy hearts, heart shaped chocolates, valentine cards, red, white, and pink EVERYTHING!! It gets kinda tiring after a while. And well I was more into Halloween I would always sneak to the human world to watch it. Well the Mayor found out-"
"Mayor?"
"Yes Mayor Lovejoy."
"Lovejoy..." Jack chuckled. "I'm sorry continue."
"It's ok...I don't blame you that is a pretty stupid name. Well anyway he got angry that I hated to make that stuff. He said I didn't deserve to be a part of ValentineTown and I was a disgrace to love. Well then as I walking home everyone started making fun of me and pushing me and calling me all kinds of names..." her voice trailed off. Tears in her eyes. She closed her eyes and shook them away quickly. "And so I ran into the forest on the outskirts of ValentineTown. When I got there there were all kinds of doors everywhere. So I just picked one and I fell, I woke up here."
"Can I ask you something."
"Of course."
"I'm assuming everyone in ValentineTown have names like 'Lovejoy' how did you get named 'Bones'?"
Bones chuckled a little to herself.
"Bones is not my real name. Everyone used to call me that to insult me, but I took it as a compliment. My real name is...well... that's another story." She sighed, and then smiled. She had the most beautiful smile. Jack nodded and then turned up to Sally.
"Sally uh...why don't we prepre her a room she can stay here until we figure out what to do-"
"SHE CAN STAY WITH US!" Lock cried, almost falling out of his seat.
"Yeah she can stay with us." Shock smiled. Bones turned to her, staring into those sunken eyes. They were children and had no one to look after them.
"I'll stay with you." She smiled.
"YAY!" The children shouted as they jumped from their seats. "You're just in time for the Friday the 13th Parade!" Barrel cried excitedly.
"Yeah you can help us decorate! Can't she Jack?" Shock asked.
"Ummm yeah. Of course she can." Jack smiled. Lock, Shock, and Barrel had jumped out of their seats and were pulling Bones out the door. Shouting ideas for floats and decorations. Bones just laughed and humored them, Jack watched as they dissapeared down the street.
"Jack..." Sally started softly.
"Yes Sally?"
"Umm well Bones...are you going to let her stay in HalloweenTown?"
"I'm not sure yet. But why not? She's obviously happy here."
"But she belongs in ValentineTown."
"Well if she was forced to leave she obviously doesn't." He chuckled. Could his voice be more patronizing?
"Let's not forget about someone who thought they didn't belong." She snapped.
Jack turned to her quickly.
"Sally have some compassion! She's scared, and she just left her home! She'll stay in HalloweenTown until the end of the month. I'll make my decision then. Maybe she does belong there but everyone deserves a vacation from their home. Give the people of ValentineTown and Bones time to cool off."
"Jack-" Sally started, but Jack wrapped his arms tight about her.
"I'm sorry I raised my voice to you Sally. But she needs help. Just until the end of the month I promise okay?"
Sally sighed and leaned into his touch. How could she be jealous? She did need help, and Jack was just trying to help her. Jack loved Sally, he loved her more than anything in the world. She closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh.
"Okay Jack." She smiled. Jack kissed Sally deeply.
"I love you Sally." He smiled.
