Chapter 2 – The Experiment

Halloween Town/Lab

It was a dark and gloomy night as it always was in Halloween Town.

Doctor Frankenstein had this crazy idea (doesn't he always?). "Sally! Would you be a dear and go fetch Jack for me?" He called, from downstairs in the Lab.

Sally was in her room brushing her long, auburn hair when he made the request. "Jack? What could he want with Jack? I have a bad feeling about this…" She thought to herself out loud.

She took the shortcut out of the Lab. In other words, instead of walking down that dreadful flight of stairs, she jumped off the balcony from her window. Her arm and leg separated from her body as she hit the ground. But she didn't seem to mind at all, as she sat up and sewed them back on using a hairpin and some thread.

Jack suddenly appeared from behind the nearby gate. He grinned at her, showing his skeleton teeth.

Sally stood up and smoothed her raggety dress. "Jack…the Doctor calls." She had a look of worry on her sewn up face.

"Doctor? Whatever could he want, I wonder?" Jack asked, looking a bit puzzled.

The three troublemakers of Halloween Town, also known as Lock, Shock, and Barrel…were hidden not too far away in their walking bathtub, snickering evilly.

"I don't know, but be careful…" Sally warned, remembering what happened the LAST time the Doctor had one of those ideas…

"Don't worry Sally. I'm sure it can't be that bad. As long as it doesn't Christmas or Heartless, it should be okay!" Jack, also known as 'The Pumpkin King', walked into the Lab with Sally next to him.

The Doctor grinned when they entered. It wasn't a pleasant sight. His smile was ugly enough, but the Lab was a complete mess. The place was totally trashed.

"Ah! Jack, my boy! I need your help. You see I had this strange dream the other night…about traveling to other Worlds. I want to construct a device that could help us do just that…" The Doctor said, as he rolled up to Jack and Sally on his electric wheelchair.

Sally sighed and walked upstairs. "He's incapable of creating something like that anyway."

Jack, on the other hand, seemed to be thrilled with the idea. "I'll help you Doctor!"

They worked. For weeks. The World Transporter (as they called it) was now complete.

It was 1:00AM in the morning. Everyone was asleep. Everyone, except for three trouble-making little brats…

The three broke into the Lab. A little, scary girl (known as Shock) wearing the outfit of a witch, complete with pointy hat, pointed to the World Transporter. "Barrel! Turn on the machine!" Shock ordered.

"How?" The short, fat boy asked, as he scratched his head in confusion.

Lock, the one dressed like a red devil, shoved Barrel aside. "I'll do it, you good-for-nothing fat retard!" Lock started randomly pressing buttons. The machine began glowing a bright lime-green color.

"OOOHH…Heeheehee! This is so exciting! Barrel, you go first!"

"No, Shock! I always gotta go first. You go this time!"

"How about you BOTH go!" Lock shoved them into the machine and they disappeared without a trace.

The Doctor was awakened by the racket the kids were making. He rolled downstairs in his wheelchair, and angrily glared at Lock.

Lock faked an innocent grin. "I didn't do it!"

"You imbecile! But yet, I'm curious if it worked. Yes. You three are the guinea pigs of my experiment. Hahaha!" The Doctor laughed in the way an insane doctor would.

Lock frowned. "Okay, old man! That's enough. Bring them back, NOW!" He yelled.

"No, I think it's better that they stay out of this World."

Lock growled and jumped up on the Doctor's lap. He put his hands around the Doctor's neck, and began strangling him.

"BRING THEM BACK NOW! YOU STUPID GEEZER!" Lock was jumping up and down in rage as he choked the Doctor.

Sally had just woken up, and ran downstairs to the commotion. She realized what was happening, so she ran up to the machine and pushed the 'return' button on the console.

Shock and Barrel popped out of the portal. They were panicking. "The tiger! It chased us, and those huge monkeys and gorillas tried to kill us, HELP! AAAAHHH!!" They screamed, terrified, and suddenly passed out on the floor.

Lock got off of the Doctor, and knelt down to check up on his worn out friends.

The Doctor ignored the unconscious kids and grinned triumphantly. "It was a SUCCESS! YES! For once my experiment worked!! It's a MIRACLE!"
