Sally
How could he be so friendly, yet so intimidating all at the same time? Or is he intimidating because he's so friendly? Why can I not stop thinking about him? Does he even know I exist? No. He does not; you are just a rag doll. Remember? No one loves you, and you cannot love anyone. Dr Finkelstein explained it all. You are a doll, nothing more, nothing less. You do not love Jack Skellington. Jack Skellington does not love you, you understand? But do you remember that time he helped you sew on your arms? That does not mean he loves me, nor does it mean that you love him. STOP IT! STOP TORMENTING YOURSELF! He does not love you...
Day after day Sally debated with herself on whether Jack loved her, and why he did or did not. Sally hated that she loved someone who would never love her back, she tried her best to runaway from her thoughts, but found solitude only in the abandoned graveyard. No one would ever look for her there; no one would look for her period. She was new to town, and instead of the warm welcome new residents usually get, Sally was greeted with cold stares and snide remarks. Dr. Finkelstein was not too popular around town, and due to his social status, Sally never would be. But popularity was the last thing on her mind. All she cared about was how to get Jack to notice her. She tried everything within her power, and occasionally she got a smile, but only every now and again, not as often as she would like. She sighed as she thought of how happy they could be together. Sadly, they never would be together, at least not from Sally's pessimistic perspective. Jack however, felt differently.
Jack
Why does she not notice me? On the other hand, if she does notice me, why does she not acknowledge me? Would it kill her to say a mere hello? I suppose it might. After all, I am a very busy man, and getting through the endless mobs probably WOULD kill her. Then again, who goes out of his or her way to say hello to someone? Nobody. Oh, god I must be crazy, not only am I talking to myself, I am ANSWERING myself. Way to get the girls Jack, yeah they really love the crazy ones. Well duh, this is Halloween Town, everyone is messed up. You are not the only one. However, I am the only one who likes Sally.... I wonder why that is. Ok I seriously need to stop or I am going to start speaking aloud...
Jack wandered aimlessly around the town looking for something to captivate his interest, even if only for a moment. But alas he found nothing as nothing ever changes in Halloween Town, except Halloween itself, that's always different. The Gossiping witches always told the same tale, and the Vampires only spoke of blood and made Jack queasy, and somewhat self-conscious, seeing as how he was a skeleton. The mayor constantly pestered him on plans for the next year. Doctor Finkelstein kept to himself; which was fine with the townspeople, because they do not like him too much. But for the most part, people outside of the 'ORIGINAL JACK SKELLINGTON FAN CLUB' left him alone. Most times it was ok, except every time he saw sally and tried to reach her a mob of fans always seemed to torment him for another autograph, or a photo and would not leave until they got which they desired, making Jack look like some crazed celebrity to sally. And that above all things was NOT what he wanted. Unfortunately for our hero, First impressions never fade.....
Sally.

Do they ever leave him alone? Did they ever once stop to think that they aren't the only ones who want Jack's attention? Oh well I guess its something I'm going to have to get over. The man I love has fans. No, not fans, fanatics, look at him, so full of himself, he's enjoying every second of this, this is such bull shit!
"STUPID SLUTS FUCK OFF!!!!"
oh crap I cant believe I just said that oh my god, someone is going to know it was me. Oh shit oh shit oh shit!
She ran until she couldn't run anymore, but someone MUST have seen her, and someone did see her, that someone also followed her....
