Chapter 2
"Sally, dear," pleaded Jack Skellington.
"No. We are not celebrating Christmas. It isn't our place. You know what happened last year."
"You're right, of course." He nodded. "I'm going to take Zero for a walk."
He was wandering through the woods, his fateful ghost-hound Zero at his heels.
He had been in these woods a year ago; last Christmas. And it was almost Christmas again. Yet, he had no cheer in him. No one in Halloweentown would celebrate it with him. Not even Sally, his wife to be. And Christmastown would probably not welcome him, after last year's…performance.
He continued walking, lost in thought, until he came up to another tree. It had an unknown door on it. The door was shaped and painted like a ghost. Curious, Jack opened the door and stuck his head in.
Inside the door Jack was amazed at the sights. The sky was green, purple doors floated in random places. He saw a distant blue snake flying. Finally, he took his head back. He closed the door.
"Zero?"
"Bark!"
"I need you to do something," began the Pumpkin king, "I need you to go into this…Ghosttown, and bring me back something that will tell me about it."
"Bark, bark!" answered Zero.
Jack opened the door and the dog jumped through.

Unknown to Jack, he was being followed. Many insects were now in the branches above him. They had watched as Jack looked inside and ordered his dog to go in. They watched as Jack fell asleep, sitting against the opposite side of the tree.
The cloud, working as a team, opened the door again and went through, leaving it open.

Zero didn't know what to bring back to his master. What would tell him of this place? Spotting two ghosts in the distance, he got an idea.
He sped up to them.
There was a skinny, black and white ghost chasing a small, round, and blue one. They seemed to be fighting over a small purple and black box. Zero, getting close enough, snatched the box and flew for the door back to Halloweentown.
"Come on!" screamed the skinny one, chasing the ghost hound. The round ghost flew franticly in the other direction, screaming something that sounded like "beware."
---
The insects, after a little search, stopped in front of a floating door. The door boasted the name "seamstress" in green letters. Working together again, the bugs opened the door and entered.

And I said I wasn't going to rush it…
