*** So far I don't think the story has been very exciting, but I promise it'll get better. ;) So what do you all think of it so far? This is my first time writing a story for fanfic. Please R&R and let me know how I am doing. P.S. If you have never heard The Grateful Dead listen to them sometime, they are so awesome! ~*Hugz* BB~ ***

For a while, Jack followed Santa around. They were talking about many different things including Christmas and Halloween. Jack was really curious how Santa Clause managed to do what he did every year, how he knew what the kids would want, and who was good and bad. Eventually the two split up and went there own ways.

Jack headed up for a fenced field that had some strange fluffy, white creatures grouped up into it. There had to be hundreds of them he thought. He started to climb over the fence when;

"Hey there! Whatcha doin?" A man shouted from out in the field.

"Oh hi there sir, I am Jack Skellington from Halloween Town. I was just curious what these weird, fluffy creatures were?" Said Jack.

The man came walking up to the fence where Jack was. "So you are here for the Gathering. I am Rocky Rogers; but you can call me Rock. I am a shepherd here." He said, "These strange creatures are called sheep."

"Interesting, could I touch one?" Jack asked.

"Sure climb on over and follow me." Said Rock, laughing slightly.

Jack climbed over the fence and followed Rock out to the herd of sheep. Rock walked over to one that was wearing a collar and bell. He grabbed the sheep by the collar and motioned for Jack to come closer. Jack walked over to him and the sheep.

"This here Flafski. Go, ahead and pet him." Rock said.

Jack ran his hand down Flafski's back. He grinned, he had never felt anything so fluffy, and soft. It had such thick hair. He scratched Falfski behind the ears, and the sheep baaed.

"It is absolutely amazing." Said Jack, "He is so soft, his hair is so thick, and he makes the most peculiar nose."

"Sheep's hair is called wool. You can make clothes, blankets, and many other things out of their wool." Said Rocky. He let go of Flafski. Flafski walked off and rejoined his herd."

"Thank you much for letting me pet your sheep. I shall be off now. Bye." Said Jack as he walked off and climbed back over the fence.

Next Jack headed to a small pink building that had a sign that read: "Taylor's Gifts, Toys, and Treats." Jack opened the door and entered the store. He was immediately greeted with a handshake from an older, short, chubby lady with black hair.

"Hello there! Nice seeing you, you must be a guest from a different Holiday Town. I am Miss. Taylor, who are you?" She said cheerfully.

"I am Jack from Halloween Town. Nice to meet, what a wonderful little place you have, may I look around?" Jack said in reply. He was looking around the store wide eyed, and with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Yes, yes please do! If there is anything you see that you like please, please let me know." Miss. Taylor said. She was such a cheerful and hyper old lady.

Jack walked around the store looking at all the neat items she had. There were so many different things. They were all different colors, shapes, and a lot of things smelled very strange. He picked up a little stick shaped item that had a strong smell to it.
"Miss, what is this?" He asked holding the stick shaped object.

"That" she said, "is an inscent. You just light the tip on fire, like this; then you blow the fire out, and the tip slowly burns and it lets out good smelling smoke."

The inscent was burning, and letting out smoke. Jack sniffed the air, he could smell it but he definitely didn't think it smelled good.

"Can you get them in different smells?" Jack asked

"Yes, yes there are a wide variety of smells. My personal favorite is Spring Flowers." Said Miss. Taylor

"Do you have any in frogs breath?" asked Jack

"No. Never heard of any called frogs breath. Sorry." Replied Miss. Taylor.

Jack looked around some more and found a neat tall, skinny jar he liked. It was dark red, with green spots on it. He picked it up and examined it closely. He thought Sally would really like it a lot.

"What is this jar used for?" Said Jack, pointing to the red jar in his hand.

"The jar is used for holding flowers. You fill it up with some water, and then put flowers in it. It is called a flower vase." She answered.

"Could I have it?" Jack said, picking it up.

"Of course you may." Miss. Taylor said, smiling sweetly and getting a box.

"Do you have any flowers I can put in it?" Asked Jack.

"Not right now, but if you stop by before you leave to go home, I can get you some then." Said Miss. Taylor smiling widely. She took the vase from Jack and placed it in the box.

"Bye now, I'll be back before I leave!" Jack shouted as he walked out the door.

"Bye Jack!" Miss Taylor yelled back as the door shut.

Jack wandered around till it started to get dark, and then started heading back to the church. He met many neat people, and saw a lot of weird things that day. He was in a very, very cheerful mood.

He was the first one to get to the church. The Easter Bunny came in shortly after words, and within fifteen minutes everyone had arrived. They all went up stairs to where they had eaten break feast earlier. The table was now decorated very nicely, with candles, flowers, and a lot of other decorations. There was a banner now hanging up that said; "Welcome, all my Holiday friends!" it was written in glittery silver letters,

After ever one finished eating dinner the Easter Bunny showed them there rooms, told them they would be woken up at 9:30 for break feast, and for tomorrows events.
