Chapter Three: Welcome to My Humble Abode

(AFTER THE INCIDENT WITH OOGIE BOOGIE)

Cloudy skies and dried up trees......Sally stood there watching the water trickle down the fountains sides, looking at the sickly green liquid falling onto the ground. It had been the day after the Oogie Boogie incident and now that she was abandoned from Doctor Finkelstein's house/laboratory, she was now a homeless rag doll. All the monsters in the city smiled at her, some even congratulated her for some reason unknown to her. Lock, Shock and Barrel came over to her and started to cheer her up, since she had no place to go. She sighed as she remembered as to what was happening and frowned.

"Hey..." a voice called out to her. She looked up to see it was Jack. She smiled that smile that made Jack feel like Sally was always going to be around; to comfort him and to make him feel wanted in the community, even though he was wanted by all. He sat down next to her putting his bony hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?" he asked, seeing that she was depressed. He knew why but for some reason, he couldn't help but to just ask her. She even knew that he knew the answer, but she just sighed heavily and looked up into his eye sockets.

"Well, it's because that......I don't have anything to go to. Ever since the doctor got a new zombie monster to take care of him, I have no place to go to now. I remember last night when I came back from the pumpkin patch," She smiled, remembering the kiss, that memorable kiss that they both shared that night. She continued. "I came back to the Doctors house to rest a while and then he says he doesn't need me anymore. That he had made a new and much better zombie maiden to take care of him, who cares for him and doesn't put poisons in his food." Again she smiled, but this time, she started to giggle inside her mind. "I really didn't care but still, I needed a place to sleep since, as you know too, it was a really tiring night. I just walked out of the house and just came here."

"And you've been here for the night?"

"Yes." Sally frowned, thinking that Jack wouldn't accept her since she slept outside all night long, like a homeless person.

"Well, Doctor Finkelstein said..." Sally tried to speak but Jack put a finger to her lips and smiled cheerfully.

"Who cares of what Doctor Finkelstein said? He is none of your concern at the moment. What you should be concerned is where you are going to live."

"Well, I don't know where to live. I don't really want to live with anyone in the town." She said, saying it quietly since she didn't want to hurt any of her monster friends. She was, undoubtedly, one of the cutest and most gorgeous looking women in Halloween Town, so any of the monster men would give their homes to her and sleep outside like a dog.

"Hmmmm..."

"What?" Sally asked, wanting to know what Jack was thinking.

"Hey! Maybe you could live with me for a while."

Sally's eyes widened with shock. "Really?!"

"Of course! You can stay as long as you want."

She squealed with joy and hugged Jack as tightly as her arms would let her. "Thank you soooo much Jack! How will I repay you?"

Her answer was revealed when Jack kissed her and she kissed him back. "There you go, that's your payment." He smiled and held her hand. They both walked over to his house, Sally with a case filled with Sally's things, (A/N: And no their not play toys) and Jack held a bag filled with some sewing utensils.

They both entered the house, Sally welcoming the aroma of sweet candles. She opened her eyes. 'Candles?' she asked herself and turned around to ask Jack but shook the thought away. She walked up the steps towards a room that was empty and a bed was in the middle that looked like Jack's bed but a little bit smaller. The walls were tinted with red and purple and the floor was old wood, creaky and dusty. "Sorry if it's a bit dusty in here. I barely come into this room." He said but Sally told him not to worry and started to unpack.

"Yell if you need anything okay?" Jack said as he walked out the door but stopped as he heard Sally.

"Jack?"

"Yes?"

She ran up to him, giving him a deep kiss and Jack returned the favor. They broke apart, looking at one another and she smiled, grabbing his hands and gently patting them.

"Thank you for everything."

"Your welcome." He said as he walked out the door and peeked his head in. "Remember what I said alright?"

"To yell if I need anything. Right."

"I'm making dinner so it'll be ready in fifteen minutes okay?"

"Okay."

"Remember what I..."

"Jack!"

"Sorry..." he smiled sweetly as he blew a kiss and Sally smiled as she blew on back.

Jack close the door behind him and smiled. 'I wonder where Zero went to?' he thought as he walked down the steps into his kitchen. As he stirred some bat soup in his pot, he smiled and looked up. "I plan that this will be the start of a beautiful relationship.

--I'm sorry if it is short, but I'm trying to put this story into three chapters. One where sally comes into Jacks house, the part of how Sally is doing in Jack's house, and then building Sally's house. So this is chapter one of the mini series and I hoped you like it so far. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!! --
