Sorry this is a short chapter but I have not had my coffee this morning so enjoy!

Chapter 2: Nutters Raosting on an Open Fire

Somewhere in Halloween Town, within the graveyard we find our favourite demon Zalak rocking himself backward and forwards while sat with his knees pulled up to his chest, his arms wrapped around them.

"...Cabbages everywhere, there's no escaping them..."

As he continues to mumble about green vegetables two Halloween Town residents wonder into the graveyard discussing this years Halloween festivities. One of them suddenly jumps on top of a nearby tomb and takes a top hat from seemingly nowhere and a black cane and begins to sing, as is the way in Halloween Town.

Halloween has come huzzah

Creatures come from near and far

Putting on their scariest faces

Scaring kiddies in different places

This comes but once a year

Letting us strike terror and fear

From under beds and closets dark

From here we intend to make our mark

Upon the mortal realm and all beyond

Of this practise be have become fond

At the heart of all this fun

Is the one who detests the sun

Its Jack, the Pumpkin King

Listen monsters as we sing

The king of terror and morbid fright

Comes to scare in the dark of night

Leaving no girl or boy unaffected

Just as you would have expected

Its Jack, the Pumpkin King

Listen monsters as we sing

He loves to scare the mortal soul

To bring sheer terror is his goal

As our Halloween fun draws to a close

He goes to planning as everyone knows

Plans next years fright loaded event

As the scary bony skeletal gent

Will fill the humans lives

With reapers and their scythes

As an image of utmost fear

As the next Halloween draws ever near!

As the scaly green demon finished his chorus Zalak jumped to his feat and picked up one of the cursed cabbages that pummeled him earlier and hit the demon square in the head.

"They ain'tcompletely useless then, where is the lair of the Bogey Man, I've always wanted to see if he's as evil as they say" Zalak demanded from the other demon while cleaning out his ear with a Christmas Tree.

"The Bogey Man, you mean Oogie Boogie, the most evil denizen, beware of his evil ways, even Jack has trouble with him, keep clear or he will eat you!" The demon yelled at Zalak while strangling himself with his right hand and whacking himself over the head with a mallet with his left.

Zalak yanked out the Christmas Tree from inside his ear and threw it at a nearby cat who pounced on the tree and ate it, becoming shaped like the Christmas Tree.

Meanwhile in the perfect scene that is Christmas Town we find Dav and Ashura whoare dragging a chained up Aaron along the three inch thick snowy ground. They stop outside of a small bakery shop that has the finest Christmas cakes anyone has every seen.

"Hmm, these cakes in this shopping outlet window looks delectable, maybe we should buy one to take home for everyone... What are you doing!" Ashura yelled as Dav was already inside the shop conversing with the shop keeper.

"How much for the cake in the window..?" asked Dav who was now gripping the counter with a look of anticipation in on his face.

"They are 2000 munny each, which one would you like sir?" the small plump shop keeper asked with a kindly look on her face.

"...I'LL TAKE THEM ALL!" Dav yelled as he dived straight for the window display where the finest cakes were kept.

"Oh no, every time he sees a cake this happens" mumbled Ashura as he entered the shop and grabbed Dav by the scruff of the neck, leaving Aaron alone outside the shop. Ashura rolled Dav up in a thick sheet of marzipan to restrain him as they left the store. "...We have a problem... Aaron escaped again" he announced as he spotted the chains destroyed on the floor .

"...We have to find her before its too late!" a now recomposed Dav said as he chewed on his sweet bindings.

"If I were a psycho obsessive Christmas freak where would I hide" Ashura mused as he had his hand caught in a toaster for no reason at all.

"I know where, Santa's workshop!" Dav stated as he rubbed the back of his head, not noticing that Ashura was running in the background waving his toaster clad arm in the air erratically.

"Something smells good!" Dav added as smoke rose from the toaster and Ashura's hand.
