a/n: from here on out I will tell you for a disclaimer just read my first chapter. I can tell you people like this story... and it scares me (hides under chair). and i also know i have the whole story out, but please review chapter by chapter... i would really appreciate it! Title: Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?

We wait behind the four vampires, and we have been waiting for a while now. The only good thing is the entertainment. Being the best, and only, trick-or-treaters of Halloween Town, we don't go anywhere without a few minor tricks with us.

We hear the Mayor's voice yelling towards the back of the line for Dr. Finklestein. As he passes we see his look of frustration, showing that Sally has, once again, slipped out.

After he passes we laugh a little, and in the process catch the attention of a few more skeptical residents.

As we watch the vampires head toward Jack we realize that we're next. We watch as the vampires complain about the toy and as Jack is about to send them away we quickly get out some ammo and throw a bone, a baseball, and a rock, at the mayor.

He seems very mad at first, but then he sees us and gets a very worried look on his face.

"What are you doing here?" his voice has no hidden fear, it all shows, much to our pleasure.

I start off, "Jack sent for us..."

Shock continues, "Specifically..."

"By name," Barrel ends.

And we decide to take our chance in a grand entrance. As I take off my mask I start, "LOCK!"

"SHOCK!" my sister continues.

"BARREL!" he finishes by licking his still not finished sucker.

The Mayor turns to Jack, "Jack! Jack! It's... Boogie's boys!" (a/n that line really makes you think about Shock being a girl... hm... goes off to ponder this). The Mayor's voice is riddled with anxiety.

"Ah! Halloween Town's finest trick-or-treaters," I feel the urge to yell 'duh' at him, but think better of it. "The job I have for you is top secret. It requires craft, cunning, mist..."

"And we thought you didn't like us, Jack," Shock acts flatter, and we all laugh.

"Absolutely no one is to know about it! Not a soul!" the last part he points at us harshly. As he whispers his plan to us I notice that the Mayor is having trouble keeping his tie in place.

When Jack finishes I turn to leave as he continues, "And one more thing," he grabs my tail in mid stride and pulls me back. He starts to yell, "Leave that no account Oogie Boogie out of this!"

"What ever you say, Jack," Barrel nods.

"Of course, Jack," Shock continues.

"Wouldn't dream of it, Jack," I finish as we laugh, fingers crossed behind our backs.

Outside the hall we start to wonder.

"What should we do?" I ask.

"I dunno! This Sandy Claws sounds mean," Shock answers.

"This whole thing sounds exciting!" Barrel yells.

The rest of the way home we think. We have our old tricks, but nothing to use when it comes to kidnapping.

As we arrive and hop in the cage we face each other and start off together, "Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?!"

I push forward, and remove my mask; "I wanna do it!"

Barrel steps up and removes his mask, "Let's draw straws," he pulls out our spitball straws.

Shock takes her mask and removes it, only to hit Barrel in the side of the head, "Jack said we should work together!"

Barrel adds in, "Three of a kind!"

"Birds of a feather," I comment.

"Now and forever!" and we start up a tune. "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight/Throw away the key and then /Turn off all the lights"

Barrel walks over to the wall, near a trap, followed by Shock. Barrel puts his sucker in a cage as Shock keeps the tune going, "First, we're going to set some bait/Inside a nasty trap and wait/When he comes a-sniffing we will/Snap the trap and close the gate"

I interrupt as the now trapped bug is passed to me, "Wait! I've got a better plan /To catch this big red lobster man/Let's pop him in a boiling pot /And when he's done we'll butter him up". What did they expect? I was always the most gruesome, but I try to be modest. As we do this I have dipped the bug so that it is partially cooked, but still living.

As I hand the bug to Shock we start our next round, "Kidnap the Sandy Claws/Throw him in a box/Bury him for ninety years /Then see if he talks"

Shock turns to face Barrel and I, "Then Mr. Oogie Boogie man," she starts and watches as we bow down and she throws the bug in the cage down our tunnel that also is our shrine to our "father".

I turn on my knees to my left to face Barrel and he turns to me as Shock faces us both, "Can take the whole thing over then/He'll be so pleased, I do declare/That he will cook him rare". Once we hear that Mr. Oogie Boogie has taken the bug and been satisfied we feel it's safe to move.

I walk to our little catapult and place Barrel on it as I sing the next part on my own, "I say that we take a cannon /Aim it at his door and then/Knock three times and when he answers/Sandy Claws will be no more". I have now shot Barrel through the door of our armory.

Shock takes over, standing by the door of our armory as Barrel stumbles out, a pot on his head, "You're so stupid, think now/If we blow him up into smithereens/We may lose some pieces".

The next part I join, "And then Jack will beat us black and green."

We finish and go to help our younger brother, carrying him upside down as we sing. "Kidnap the Sandy Claws/Tie him in a bag/Throw him in the ocean/Then see if he is sad". With the last line we heave Barrel into the tub and he makes a mighty splash.

Shock and I get close to add in our next part, "Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around/If I were on his Boogie list, I'd get out of town."

We then jump into the tub ourselves, to find that Barrel has completely drained it. He continues as Shock and I recover, "He'll be so pleased by our success/That he'll reward us too, I bet"

We're all thinking the same thing as our walking tub makes it's way to the armory: "Perhaps he'll make his special brew/Of snake and spider stew/Ummm!"

We continue, and Shock jumps out as we all sing, "We're his little henchmen/And we take our job with pride/We do our best to please him/And stay on his good side"

Shock goes straight for the weapons as I connect a ball and chain to Barrel's ankle, "I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb!"

As I drag him Barrel looks over in disapproval, "I'm not the dumb one!"

"You're no fun!" it's rare for Barrel, but we sometimes to help him out.

"Shut up!" Shock yells at me.

"Make me!" I counter; dropping the extremely heavy ball and letting it roll away.

Shock picks up a box and starts the next part, "I've got something, listen now/This one is real good, you'll see/We'll send a present to his door/Upon there'll be a note to read/Now, in the box we'll wait and hide". While she sings I start to stop scowling and listen with content as Barrel tries to peak inside the box.

She continues, "Until his curiosity."

The rest of us join in as the box opens, "Entices him to look inside/And then we'll have him/One, two, three" on one, two, three, Shock's pet scorpions jump onto Barrel's head.

We continue and pack the tub as Barrel throws the ball in, being dragged with it, "Kidnap the/Sandy Claws, beat him with a stick/Lock him for ninety years, see what makes him tick." A quick grabbing of everything else on inventory as we sing the next part, "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, chop him into bits/Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks".

By now we're all in and heading towards our destination, "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see/Lock him in a cage and then throw away the key". With this we are finished and laugh our hearts out.

We head into the woods and start to attack each other again.

"We should stick to the old fashioned trap him in the bag!" I hold up the bag, which has pumpkins on the black background and a gold string to tie it closed.

"No way! I wouldn't bother! We could just as easily take him by knocking him out and putting him in the guillotine!" Shock was always the violent one.

Barrel starts to frown at the idea, a rare thing for him, "But I don't think Jack would like that... I think he wanted Sandy alive."

"Oh, what do you know?!" Shock turned to him.

"More than you apparently," I mumble, barely audible, but she hears me.

She grabs my tail and bends it around a sharp sword, cutting it on the edge.

"YOW!" I yelp. I unravel my tail and head lock her. She quickly is punched in the side by Barrel who then double teams her with me, until she throws Barrel off and pins me to the floor of the tub just as Barrel stops and looks at where we are.

I look as well as Shock rolls off of me. It's the strangest sight. There are all these trees about and all of them have some sort of picture painted on them. I look over to one, an oval with bright paint all over it. I see that Lock has found one with an over decorated tree and Barrel one with an animal, like a bird but bigger and fatter.

"I think it's this one," he points.

Shock shakes her head, "Jack didn't say anything about a bird, but a tree with bright lights and bright colors, he did! It has to be the tree!" she points to her painting.

"No way! He said bright colors, and this one is the brightest of all!" I feel they're too bright actually. I'm ready to vomit.

"It's the tree! You know it as well! You just don't want to admit it," she yells.

I swallow, "Oh please, don't make me sick!"

"But that would be more fun!" Barrel yells, but a glare from Shock and me apiece shut him up.

"Fine!" Shock retorts and punches me in the stomach, making me have a lurching feeling.

"I didn't mean that literally," another swallow.

"Why don't we split up?" I ask, "If you're so smart."

"If you're so smart you'll remember Jack told us to work together!" she yells.

"NO!"

There's a long wait and she finally gives in, and we open the oval picture, being sucked into a bright, pastel, swirling vortex.

We land in a field of bright flowers and sunlight pours onto us.

"I don't like it here!" Barrel complains.

"Either do I, but you don't see me whining!" I answer.

"Then let's get this over with fast," we nod at Shock and run into the town.

We head towards the bright colored oval buildings. We arrive at the biggest one.

"Well, I think we know where Sandy would be!" we knock on the door and wait. When the huge creature opened the door we quickly bagged the thing, no second thoughts.

"Let's get Sandy to Jack!" with Shock's command we're off!

A/n: wow! That was a hard one to think up a title for this... yes I am finished with this story, so the rest of the chapters are coming rapid fire.That was really long too... srry...
