"Shock? What's going on here, I keep hearing slams." It was Sally, and Shock quickly turned to face her. "Sally! Lock stole my diary and my doll and now he's going to read it!" she cried. "Why would he do that?" "Because he's evil, He's the devil." She replied, referring to his red hair gelled to look like horns. "Are you sure you didn't do something first?" "Well..." she trailed off. "I stole his mask, but still! He's going to read my diary!"
"Lock!" Sally called, rapping on the door. It immediately clicked open, and Lock sauntered out with a smug look on is face. "You read it, didn't you?" she asked, anger replacing her worry. HE didn't reply, concentrating on his smug look. She looked at him like she wanted to strangle him, color flushing her cheeks. He chuckled to himself as he watched her coldly. Her cheeks flushed and she pounced on him, wrapping her thin hands around his neck and shaking him back and forth in anger. In a split second, Jack had appeared and was holding both by the scruffs of their necks. Lock struggled, eager to get as far away as possible from Shock, who was staring at him with utmost loathing.
Barrel had appeared behind them, giggling to himself over their predicament. The third time this week that they had ended up hanging by their collars, although one was for playing a prank on one of the Halloween Town residents. Jack slowly placed the pair back on the ground, where Lock started to scurry away, only to be pulled back. Shock folded her arms over her chest after smoothing out her lilac dress.
"What's going on here?" The pumpkin king snapped, skeleton creasing into a frown. Lock shuddered. "HE stole my diary." Shock sure was fast at tattling. "Well she stole my mask first!" he said, pointing to the corner, where the mask lay forgotten. "Both of you have got to stop fighting! Lock, give her back her diary, Shock, the mask." Shock snatched her book from Lock and chucked the mask square into his forehead before running off, cackling. He rubbed the spot gingerly, finding a large indent where she had hit him. "SHOCK! SHOCK GET BACK HERE!" Jack yelled, shaking a fist after the girl. She didn't turn around as she stormed away.
Lock shook himself off, not able to lose his pride, and headed for the door, pulling his mask back on. "Come on Barrel." He snapped. Barrel scurried after him, tripping on his way out and flying into Lock, who sighed in exasperation.
Jack turned to Sally, scowling. "We should do something about them." "Oh they're still young, they wouldn't do anything drastic." Sally comforted, laying a hand on his bony shoulder. "I think Shock just needs a little while to calm down-then she'll be back." "Why does she cause all the trouble?" "Now do keep in mind that she is the only girl of her age in Halloween Town at the moment. And Lock and Barrel do their share of mischief-maybe even more." "Well, yes, in that sense-but it's always Shock who is upset." "Well that's because girls are more sensitive." Sally explained gently, gathering up a few things from the floor. "But I thought Shock was friends with that Rosaline girl. And what about our daughter?" "They had a little rift. I think Shock just feels a little neglected. Give her a couple hours to cool off. In the meantime, we have to go get our daughter."
Jack got up and grabbed his stuff from the table and led Sally out the door, still a bit confused on the whole issue. The Pumpkin King and Queen had to go pick up the twins, Sunny and Melanie, and their other two skeleton children, Sandy and Mike.
"We should find Shock." Barrel suggested a few minutes later. "Why?" Lock demanded. "Because she should be here." "Should be here? What, miss her company. How nice she always is." He asked sarcastically. Barrel totally missed his sarcasm, replying, "Well, she' never very nice. She's just been with us for a long time, and we should keep her filled in." Lock stopped to stare at Barrel, then shook his head slowly in disbelief. iHe can be such an idiot sometimes-most of the time.i He continued walking in the direction of their old treehouse, Barrel hurrying behind.
