Jack's Thoughts
Emily's Thoughts
$Song$
Chapter 2, "Jack's Sting"
She entered the town with such grace, but the look on her face was confusion.
She looked around to see all the citizens of Halloween Town with grins on their faces,
smiles, or just plain happy. The first to greet her was Zero, who flew up and barked in
a friendly type tone. "Welcome to Halloween Town!" the Mayor called. She looked up.
---Later—
Every one had gotten to know Emily, and they loved her. She warmed up a little,
and in the first time since she met Victor, she had forgotten about him, though not completely
erased from her mind. Jack, though, had not met her yet.
Who is she? She looks like Sally . . . the eyes, the hands . . .
Sally… that name burned… it had only been a month, around August, when she was taken
from him . . . that memory . . .
-Earlier-
You would think the doctor would have been smart, but he did something that
was dumb, and that Jack could never get over . . .
"Those roasting days in the summer won't affect us anymore! Just think, we can
get more work done for Halloween!" the doctor explained, showing Jack a large
object covered in a sheet.
"If it helps us make Halloween even more terrifying than it is, then let's see!"
Jack said, giddy like a school girl. Well, not really. But he was excited.
Sally came up beside Jack and slipped her hand in his. He looked down and smiled
at her, knowing she had confidence that her boyfriend could make Halloween better
then last! He squeezed her hand then looked back at Dr. Finklestein, who uncovered
his creation; a large fan.
"My, doctor . . . it's quite large. Won't it be dangerous?" Jack asked, a little uneasy
of the size. It was even taller than Jack himself!
"Nonsense!" the doctor replied, "It's pure genius! The bigger it is, the better the breeze!
Igor, flip the switch!"
Igor limped over to the switch and flipped it; just then, the fan started faster and faster,
and things began to go towards it… Just then, Jack realized that the doctor must of
put the fan in the wrong way, and he became overfilled with worry. "Doctor!" Jack
called, "It's not right!"
The doctor called, "Huh? What'd you say, my boy?"
Jack called a little louder, but it was no use; so he took a few steps toward the doctor.
He repeated his message, and the doctor noticed, too, so he called for Igor to turn it
off.
"Jack!" cried Sally; and to his horror, she was on the ground, being sucked towards
the fan, her nails digging into the floor, trying to hold onto something. "SHUT IT OFF!"
Jack demanded, now in a fit of fury. He began to walk towards Sally without going into the fan himself. Jack yelled to shut it off again. Igor finally heard, but before he could, Sally was
taken in, and . . . .
----kweh
A knock came at his door, and Jack got over slowly and answered it. "Why,
hello, Mayor." Jack said, stepping aside and allowing him to come in. "Jack, this new
girl is perfect! This Halloween will be a horror show!"
"I'd hope so." Jack replied, placing his hands to his sides. And the Mayor explained
about her; how she was looking around, trying to decide if she would stay.
Maybe Jack would get to know her… anything to make him forget…
---Dream
"Sally?" he called . . . . "This isn't happening."
--End of Chapter 2—(singing in his dream next chapter! WOOT!)
A/N: Sorry it was SHORT! I just wanted to clear Sally and Jack's relationship.
So I guess you can figure what happened. Jack even sings next chapter! WOOT!
And I do promise, chapter 3 will be longer!
