Hrrrmmm… I'm thinking this chapter is really rated PG-13. A tale of love, betrayal, and murder most fowl- whoops! Wrong story… Lock the door, close the curtains, it time for… the first chapter of romance!

The next day (finally), Scarlet and Emily went to the Sacrifice. It was by the Holiday's Forest. Snap and Sally were with that vampiress, along with that devil, and that werewolf, and, finally, the unhappy-faced Mayor. There were other creatures and things that were there, too. They all stepped out of the way for Scarlet and Emily.

(Announcer: Talk about service!

Kassi: O.o)

Scarlet stopped once she got to the Mayor.

"Silence, everyone!"

Everybody stopped muttering and looked at the Mayor.

"Everybody knows that Scarlet is giving up and going to a different holiday. We're all curious, Scarlet, what holiday are you going to pick?"

"Hmmm…"

Scarlet thinks.

"I badly wanted to do Mardi Gras, but, of course, that holiday isn't even here… Then there was New Years', but that isn't really a holiday, is it? Wait- what if…?"

"Yes, Scarlet?"

"What if I scared everybody in Halloween Town, just enough to make them think that they're going to die, can I stay? But not Jack."

"Why… sure. If the Devil agrees with it."

The Devil grins and nods. "If you can do that to me, right here, right now."

Scarlet and Emily look at each other and grin. They walk up to him, Scarlet turning cuter with every step. They sit next to him.

"You know, you look very hot in the morning." Emily flirts.

"Well, I-"

"Are you married?" Scarlet cut in.

"No-"

"Because you look even hotter at night, especially scaring all of those pesky little kids. That's a kind of man that I like."

"I agree." Emily started stroking the Devil's beard.

"Uh-"

Scarlet started stroking the Devil's cheek.

"You know something, I've never been kissed before, and I think that you'd do just fine for a first kiss." Emily said softly.

(Announcer: GAAAAAAHHHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME!

Kassi: O.o You idiot. They're not after you!

Announcer: But what if they're practicing for me?

Oogie: No way! Scarlet's practicing for me; you get Emily.

Kassi and Announcer: 0.0…)

"Well-uh-"

Scarlet kissed the Devil before Emily could.

(Announcer: 0.0;

Kassi: Oh. My. God. O.o;

Oogie: . Damn! You stupid devil! I'll kill you!)

The devil flapped his arms wildly and tried to scream.

"I give, I give!"

Scarlet backed away, wiped her mouth, and turned back into her Soul-Robbered form. "I have two words for you: TIC. TACS."
