The Chorus

Jack was unconsious.

Lying in a statue's arms, unconsious...but alive. In a sense, that is.

Zero brought his missing jaw over and gently snapped it in place for him. Jack stirred, and his eyes opened halfway. The Walkie-Talkie in his hands crackled.

"Jack? Jack! JACK!"

He shook his head. No, he was gone into dust, he was simply hearing voices. The machine had broken in the crash and he was to lie here, until he wasted away or until someone found him, whatever came first.

"Team to Jack! Are you alive? Come on, man, speak!"

An earsplitting scream sounded, causing his eyes to fly fully open."Erik speaking, to hell with codenames! Are you alright, sir? Say something!"

Hesitantly he tried to speak, but it only came out as a groan.

"Pebbles here! Thank you, you're alive! Where are you, Jack? The whole town is freaking here, Cricket and Erik shut down their computers, and we're all together. Somehow all of our Walkie-Talkies shut down but mine, we have to share."

Jack sat up straight, his spine creaking. "I've failed. I completely messed things up. Christmas is ruined now, all because of me."

Absolute silence on the other end. Jack checked the power and saw that the device was still on.

He heard Pebbles singing softly.

"Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes..."

Willy joined in.

"Five hundred, twenty five thousand moments so dear..."

Next Cricket.

"Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes..."

Amanda chimed in.

"How do you measure, measure a year?"

Now Erik sang.

"In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee? In inches, in miles, in laughter and strife? In, five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes...how do you measure a year in the life?"

Jack started singing with the group.

"How about love...? How about love...? How about love...? Measure in love..."

A smile appeared on his face.

"Seasons of love!"

The group played out the harmony beautifully, hitting all of the right notes. Jack took over the solo, slowly rising frown his place on the statue.

"Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes!"

He jumped off the statue, still singing.

"Five hundred, twenty five thousand journeys to plan...five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes! How do you measure the life of a woman or man?"

Pebbles took over the next solo.

"In truths that she learned, or the times that he cried...in bridges he burned, or the way that she died!"

She held out the note for a while as the group continued.

"It's time now, to sing out, for the story never ends! Let's celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends!"

Everyone continued, Jack singing loudest.

"Remember the love...! Remember the love...! Remember the love...! Remember the love..."

Jack, suddenly knowing what he had to do, flew through the secret entrance into Halloween Town, Zero close by his side.

He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted/sang:

"Measure...measure your live in lo-oooooooooooooooooo!"

He spread the note out as the group kept singing. Out of nowhere Pebbles tackled him, still singing. The rest of the group followed suit, each tearing off a piece of Jack's torn Santa costume, revealing his old clothes.

Jack finished off.

"Measure your life...measure your life in love!"

A/N: A short lil' group song. I thought it would be cute to see the group sing "Seasons of Love" from Rent. The movie, ya know...

I have to do my homework, it's six pm. That's a new procrastinating record!
