Dear Diary,

I told Jack what I heard last night, but I'm not sure if he believes me. He did tell me keep on a look out though. I went to visit Shade today, but he wasn't around. I have a strange feeling that a certain trio had something to do with this. I also asked Jack who Oogie was.

"Oogie Boogie was a big sack of bugs who wanted to take over everyone's holiday, he even tried to eat Sandy claws and Sally once." Jack said. I thought for a while.

"Do Lock Shock and Barrel have anything to do with him at all?" I asked.

" Yes, they're his henchmen.Why?" Jack asked, sounding slightly suspicious.

" No reason. Just curious that's all. Is Oogie dead? " I asked.

"In a sense." Jack answered. So that's what they are trying to do,I thought.They're trying to bring him back to life and they need someone else's life to do it. I told Jack that I was going to go for a walk, but he kind of eyed me suspiciously.

"Be back soon, and stay away from the treehouse!" he called after me. I'm going to look for Shade. write back soon

Love

Sammy

Dear Diary,

Oh, my gosh! Guess what I saw when I was looking for Shade! I saw Lock, Shock, and Barrel dragging him off somewhere. Here's what happened. I was looking around for Shade when I heard something behind me. I ducked out of sight and saw the trio dragging Shade over to their walking bathtub. I then saw them walk back to their treehouse. I ran back here and told Jack what I saw. I have to go now. Jack and I are going to look for Shade.

Love

Sammy

Dear Diary,

I'm going to tell you what happened after I told Jack what I saw.

We silently walked to the treehouse and went inside. We crept into a tunnel that went into a dark cavern. I saw Lock, Shock, and Barrel over by what looked like a large potato sack. Lock and Barrel were filling it with something, while Shock stood facing someone. I snuck closer to see who it was.

"Sammy! No!" said Jack in a loud whisper. From where I was now I could see who shock was facing.

"Shade." I said in a low whisper. Shock was chanting something under her breath and her hand started to glow. She moved toward Shade(who was unconscious at the time) and stuck her hand into him! She pulled out something shadowy and dark out of him and carefully placed it into the potato sack. It twitched at first then it jumped up and shouted "It's Oogies turn now!" That's Oogie Boogie! I thought. Suddenly a hand grabbed my arm then covered my mouth.

" Sammy, it's only me." Jack whispered. " I'm going over there. You stay here." he said. Jack snuck down closer to where Oogie was.

"Oogie! We got you something to eat!" said Lock. While their attention was on Oogie, I snuck over to where Shade was chained to the wall. I took out a pin I was using for safe keeping and picked the lock. It clicked, then opened. I dragged him over behind a wall to see if he was okay. He wasn't moving. In fact he looked,well, dead. I got angry and suddenly found myself running forward and lunging head first at Oogie. Too bad he saw me at the last minute and dodged aside. He bent down, grabbed me by the throat and slammed me into a wall.

"Looks like I'm going to have an appetizer first." he laughed.

Then I heard someone yell "NO!" I turned my head just enough to see Jack running and Oogie with a baseball bat in hand. SMACK! The bat collided with Oogies head. Oogie yelled with pain and dropped me. He thrust his arm into Jacks ribcage, sending the skeleton flying into a wall. I screamed and ran over to Jack. I rolled him over. He looked unconscious but I wasn't sure. I grabbed the bat that Jack used and sent it towards Oogie. He dodged it and yelled " BRING ME A WEAPON!" Barrel quickly handed Oogie a sword. Oogie launched the sword towards my head and I held the bat up as protection. The sword cut into the bat and Oogie yanked it from my grasp. I looked around frantically and saw a metal pipe on the ground. I quickly picked it up and rolled aside just in time to dodge one of Oogies blows. Then I saw something move in the corner of my eye. Jack sat up rubbing his head.

" Jack! The book!" I shouted. He looked down to see the book Shock had used to bring Oogie to life. I ran towards Jack and threw him the pipe. He caught it and stood up and hit Oogie in the head with it. I flipped to the page that was book marked and noticed that two pages were stuck together. I pulled them apart and read what it said. To reverse the process, chant "The one whose life was given to the back to its owner it shall flee" five times. SMACK! Jack was once again thrown into a wall and slumped down lifeless on the floor.

"The owner whose life was given to thee," I whispered. Oogie cackled and said "Looks like I've won this time Jack!"

"Back to it owner it shall flee. The one whose," I was on the forth time chanting.

"Now I will take over the Seven Holidays once again!" shouted Oogie gleefully.

"BACK TO ITS OWNER IT SHALL FLEE!" I screamed. The book started to glow red.

"NOOOOOO!" Oogie cried. He dropped the sword. I ran forward, picked it up, and slammed it into Oogies leg. He fell backwards into the lava pit in which he was going to cook Shade in. The pit hissed and bubbled, then everything was quiet. Lock, Shock and Barrel looked at me fearfully, then ran away. I ran over to Jack and shook him.

"Jack! Jack! Are you okay!" I cried. Jack sat up and blinked. I hugged him while saying through tears " Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" He looked down at me.

"Um, Sammy, what about Shade?" he asked. I gasped and ran over to where Shade was laying.

"Shade!" I shouted. He twitched a little, then sat up.

"Did I miss something?" he asked as I hugged him sobbing once again.

" We'll explain later. Lets get out of here." Jack said. We climbed out of the tunnel again and headed back towards town. When we got there everybody was looking for Jack. For the next half hour we explained what happened.

"If it weren't for Sammy, shade and I wouldn't be here." Jack said with a smile. I blushed as everyone cheered.

That's all for now.

Love,

Sammy

Dear Diary,

It's been three days since what happened in Oogies lair. All around people are congratulating me. Yesterday I went to go see Shade. He was sitting on Spiral Hill again looking at the sky. I sat down next to him.

"Thanks for saving me." he said.

"No problem." I said. His hand was on top of mine, but I didn't notice.

"How come you came after me though?" Shade asked.

"Because that's the kind of person I am." I said. I was facing towards him and he was facing me. I leaned forward and...we kissed. Right the moon was rising, there on Spiral Hill, I kissed Shade.

Love

Sammy
