HEY EVERYONE! NEXT CHAPTER!

Daniel kept walking through the woods. He had been looking for Sarah for at least two hours. He was thinking about heading back.

"Maybe she just needs a little more time." He said. "I'll look for her again tomorrow after she cools off." He turned around, and without warning stepped into a hole. He hit the floor with a thud, landing right on his face.

"That really hurt." He picked himself up, suddenly he heard a voice.

"Daniel Skellington? Is that you?" Daniel looked around but it sounded like the voice was coming from every direction. "I have always wanted to meet you in person…or skeleton I should say. So glad you could join the party." Suddenly a craps table came from under him. It automatically chained him to it. It happened so fast he had no time to react. Then it moved out of the dark and toward another craps table. Daniel looked over to see someone else there.

"Sarah?" He asked.

Sarah turned too look and Daniel. "Oh great." She said. "Now not only am I chained to a craps table, but I'm also stuck next to looser skeleton."

"Still mad?"

"What do you think?" She turned her head away so she didn't have to look at him.

"Sarah can we please talk about…" But he didn't get to finish his sentence. He was interrupted by the opening of doors. Suddenly a pair of dice flew into the light.

"Snake eyes," Mark said as he appeared into the light. "My favorite roll." He smiled an evil smile.

"Who are you?" Daniel said trying to sound tough.

"Oh didn't Sarah here tell you? I'm Mark, Oogie Boogie's son." Daniels jaw fell open.

"I-I didn't even know Oogie had a son." He said.

"He didn't like to talk about me much. I was more of a….pest then a son, but we are getting off track." He walked behind Daniel and Sarah. He chuckled a bit.

"Wow." He said. "The two people who defeated my father, together in the exact same room he was defeated in." He chuckled a bit more, as if he found his fathers death to be funny. "I thought I'd never see it, but I never imagined that the girl who helped would be so….beautiful." He said as he stroked her cheek. She jerked her head away in disgust, but he ignored it.

"Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. I love that spunkiness you have, which brings me too my next point. I know we don't know each other that well, but….I want you to be my wife."

"WHAT!" Daniel and Sarah both screamed at the same time.

"Y-you w-w-want me to be your what!" Sarah asked. Daniel couldn't even speak.

"Wife." He said as if he had answered a simple question.

"B-but w-why!" She screamed.

"For three simple reasons: One, I wish to have what know one else has, a human bride. Two, you are a worthy adversary for beating my father, and three you are very beautiful." Neither Daniel nor Sarah could speak.

"So what do you say?" Suddenly Sarah become filled with disgust, the thought of her being Oogie Boogie's son's wife just….eeww. So she spit in his eye.

"Guess what my answer is." She said. Daniel couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed like there was still a little bit of the old Sarah in her. Mark wasn't amused, but he didn't yell. He just wiped the spit from his eye.

"I'll let you think it over." He said. He started to walk away but then turned around one more time. "Oh and if you don't agree to marry me, very unpleasant things could happen to your friend right there."

"Fine by me." She whispered. Daniel's head turned in her direction with wide eyes. Then Mark turned around and left the room.

"Well, I guess we know what your answer is." Daniel said.

"Oh relax. I won't let him kill you." Then using her hand she was just able to reach the bobby pin in her hair. She pulled it out, and placed it in the lock of the chains. She played around with it for a while. Suddenly the lock opened. She jumped up from the craps table and rubbed her wrists which were very sore. Then she went over to Daniel's and played with his lock.

"Wait a minute, your helping me?"

"I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Halloween town. They can't live with out their precious pumpkin prince." She got the lock opened, and Daniel jumped up from the craps table too.

"Now come on let's get out of here." Sarah said. She tried to walk but Daniel grabbed her arm. At least this time she didn't hit me, he thought.

"Sarah we need to talk."

"There is nothing to talk about."

"Sarah please. I would never try to hurt you. I care for you so much, and….."

"Aw, how touching." Mark said. Daniel and Sarah turned around.

"But I'm afraid she's mine."
