It had been several months since Jack had first arrived in Halloweentown, and he was already a respected member of society. After hearing about his encounter with Oogie Boogie, the townspeople dubbed him a hero. Because of his popularity, however, he rarely got a moment to himself, let alone a moment with Sally. It wasn't that no one liked her; she was just too quiet. No one really paid her any attention. (She did get her fifteen minutes of fame, though, when everyone was asking about Oogie and such.) With that said, I'll continue with the story.
There she is, Jack thought, as he spotted Sally. She was buying some type of poisonous mushroom or something. She saw him and smiled. Jack waved enthusiastically. Before he could talk to her, though, the Mayor came running up behind him.
"Jack!" he panted, "Jack, I've got it!"
"Got what?" Jack asked, watching Sally walk away.
"A monarchy!"
"What?"
"We could have a monarchy! It would certainly make it easier on me…"
"But why, Mayor? Everything is going just fine with you in charge-"
The Mayor shook his head (which had spun around to the sad side) and said, "But you see, I'm not in charge. You are, Jack."
Jack opened his mouth to speak but then closed it, realizing that the Mayor was right. Since he had come, he had been thinking up ideas to make it a better place for everyone to live. The Mayor had simply announced these ideas at Town Meetings.
"Therefore," the Mayor continued, his face spinning around again, "I believe that you should be the King of Halloween, Jack! Of course, I'd still be around to help you out-" (Truthfully, the Mayor didn't really want to give up his title as the Mayor)- "but you would be mainly in charge. Will you do it?"
Jack smiled, flattered, and knew that he really didn't have a choice.
"Of course, Mayor."
So Jack became the King of Halloween, and Halloweentown prospered under his rule. He rarely thought of his life before he was Jack Skellington, but when he did, he found that it was becoming increasingly difficult to remember it. He couldn't even remember what his name had been or how he had died. Of course, Sally knew, but that was for her to keep secret. Jack enjoyed being Halloweentown's King, but after many years of successful Halloweens, Jack felt that there was something missing…until he stumbled into Christmas Town…
