about this one, its pretty much a short chapter. Please forgive me,
the next chapter will be long, I promise . ! Well we last left

Skellington Manor, yay for us! Well I think I've wasted enough time
now! Now the third chapter!
TheAngryPrincess13: Yes, Lock,
Shock, and Barrel are very evil u.u They have a plan! My family is
the same way when we watch TNBC, I feel your pain =( Johnny is cute

The scene is now the next day at
the house of Jack. It's early in the morning, the sun was just rising
over the spiral hill of Halloweentown with the dead roosters crowing
into the air while some people were still trying to get some sleep.
With only two days left until they could return home some happy, some
sad, some not having a clue.
Karina: God thank you, only two
more days!
Gaby: For what, a Conan O' Brien marathon???
Karina: No, to finally leave this horrible world!
Gaby:
Oh . . . . . . where are we again?
Karina: -.- Why me?
Nicole: I don't wanna go back, I like it here.
Karina:
Believe me, I love Halloween as much as you do but I could never live
here forever.
Johnny: I don't want you guys to go, it's quite
lonely and boring here.
Nicole: Why don't you come with us?
Johnny: I would love to, really I would but, I would miss my
family very much and I highly doubt the citizens of Halloweentown
would want their Pumpkin Prince-soon-to-be-King to leave for a whole
year.
Nicole: Oh yeah, I forgot about the whole 'only way to
come back on Halloween night' thing. Sorry.
Johnny: It's
okay, you guys want to go out for a walk?
Gaby: Yeah! We can
get mango's signed by Conan!
Karina: Fine -.-
Nicole:
Yay!
The four go out for their walk, Johnny takes them to the
shops of Halloweentown hoping to make their last two days memorable.
They all go into one this one shop called 'Graver's Paradise.'
Karina's looking at some neat looking jewelry, Gaby's trying on funny
hats, and Nicole's looking for souvenior like a shruken head or two.
In the end Karina gets a few spellbooks, a number pentacle necklaces,
and a broom. Gaby gets three hats; one in the shape of a pig, a
flamingo-shaped one, and a red and gold striped one. Nicole gets a
thin-laced black necklace that has three metal skulls hanging from
it, each smaller than the one above it, and a pair of metal earrings
in the shape of a coffin that opens up to reveal a skeleton. (I
really do have the necklace and earrings too u.u)
Johnny:
I'll go get us all some ice cream, be right back.
Johnny
leaves the three girls at a table as they look through their
shoppings. A tall dark brown-hooded person comes to there table, it
was Lock standing on stilts but they couldn't tell because of the
hood. He disguises his voice so they wouldn't recognize him.
Lock:
Excuse me, can you help me?
Nicole: (unsure, she feels a
strange vibe from this person but decides to anyway) Sure, with what?
Lock: I'm looking for a Johnny Skellington.
Nicole:
Oh, we know where he is. (she turns around to call Johnny, just as
Lock had planned. He pulls out a type of hammer from under his cloak
and knocks Nicole out before she can call Johnny)
Karina: O.O
Ok. . . . . . . I'm definitely sure I don't want to be here right
now.
Gaby: (out of her mango and Conan daydreams) O.o What
just happened?
Before Karina could respond she is knocked out
by Lock and so is Gaby. Johnny comes back carrying four ice cream
cones and looks around for his friends at the table, but he only sees
a note written in sloppy handwriting resting on the seat. Johnny
drops the ice cream, grabs the note, and reads it to himself.
'Dear
Johnny,
We've stolen your friends, if you ever want to see
them again go to the cemetary tomorrow morning. Come alone.
-Anonymous'
Johnny: Oh no, what to do?! Can't tell
dad, he's too busy with Halloween and they said come alone. I don't
want my friends' getting hurt, I'll do it.
Johnny folds the
note and places it inside the pocket of his suit pants, he walks back
to the Skellignton Manor full of dread. As soon as he walks in he is
greeted by Zero.
Zero: Arf, arf, arf!
Johnny: Hey
Zero
Zero senses something is troubling Johnny, mostly from
the sadness in his voice. He sees the note sticking out of Johnnys
pocket. As Johnny walks to his to room the note falls out without him
noticing. Zero picks it up with his mouth and decides to take it to
Jack or Sally, but to no avail he doesn't find them in the house.
Scene changes to Johnny's room where he is sitting on his bed rubbing
his skull as if trying to clear away a headache. He lied on the ash
grey pillows, the stress from the problem tiring him out, watching
the last rays of the Pumpkin Sun as they started to dissapear over
the Spiral Hill. Back at the tree house the three girls are starting
to wake up.
Nicole: Ow.....my head, thats the second time
already in two days! Feels like I got hit with a mallet. (looks up to
be face-to-face with Lock)
Lock: Actually it was a club but
close enough.
Nicole: OO Squeek! Where are my friends?
Lock: Well the loud one is being tortured by Barrel as we
speak. (points to Barrel who is poking Karina with a stick)
Karina:
Stop it! I hate this world!!!!!
Barrel: (laughs evilly)
Lock: The other one is in the torture chamber eating
something called mango, it was the only thing that would shut her up
about Conan-something.
Nicole: Where's Johnny?
Lock:
He'll be here tomorrow morning to save you guys.
Nicole: Why
would you kidnap us to have us get saved?
Lock: 'Cause we
need Johnny for our plan.
Nicole: Why do you need him for
your plans?
Lock: So it was you that heard the plan.
Shock:
(voice only) TOLD YA!
Lock: Shut up!
Shock: Make me!
Lock: Hey! That's my line . . . .
Nicole: o.o Uh . .
. . . . .
Lock: Well you better get ready for tomorrow, when
we accomplish our goal to bring back Oogie! (they all leave to
continue their plan)
Karina: I hate you right now for
bringing me into this stupid world.
Nicole: Not now.
The
two captives stared out the window, hopeing Johnny would come soon
and help them, not getting himself caught. Through the window they
could see the yellow full moon, shining the only light visible.
Through another window at the Skellington Manor, Johnny sat on his
bed looking at the moon and hopeing his friends were alright. He
promised that he would help them escape no matter the consequnces. He
rested on his bed and soon fell asleep, awaiting the next day to come
soon.

See? That was a short chapter, a VERY
short chapter actually. I apologize for this, the next one will be
longer though. The plot thickens, what will become of me and my
friends? Will Oogie be resurrected or will Johnny save us? Tune in
'til next time. I'll try and get the next chapter up soon. Invader
Nicole signing off.
