Chapter 6
Christmas Obsession
In the alley where the gang is as they are all practicing there blasters with a dumpy they found. Keswick is the only one who doesn't have one as he finally said "Guys, come on. Give Ja-Ja-Ja-Jack Skellington a chance he doesn't even know what the other holidays are."
Kitty asked from what Jack said from the last chapter "'Sandy Claws'? 'He sets out with his rain gear on'?" Snaptrap fire another blast on the dumpy as he says "We shouldn't even help him bring the Christmas stuff here. Clearly Abbey could've told Jack about other Holidays if she is really was his friend."
Keswick says "Have you forgotten that a-a-a-Abbey is a little afraid of Halloween but is okay to come here, she also like other Holidays. So of course she wouldn't tell him." Chief hop on top of Keswick head as he says "Maybe she didn't know the other doors when she came here. This might be all new."
Snaptrap then asked the group "Would you like to find Jack Skellington's house with me?"
So they all agree to go to Jack's house as they are hiding in the bushes. As Ollie asked a little nervous "Boss, what are you thinking your doing?" Snaptrap reply "I just want to see what Jack Skellington is doing and see if I can find out if he really is Abbey's friend."
Chief, Kitty, and Keswick had wide eyes all asked "You can't be serious, Snaptrap?!" Then they all said "This is wrong as you reform!" Francisco said "I hate to argue with you, Snaptrap, but they are right." Birdbrain then asked "What about Agent Puppy and Chameleon?"
Snaptrap reply "Those two can wait."
As Jack Skellington came out of the door it is about to close Snaptrap ran so fast to put his stick from the toy horse and the door didn't closed lucky for him Jack didn't notice this.
Larry says "Snaptrap come on, just give Jack Skellington a chance." Snaptrap asked "Can't I see if one of my friends that help me reform was Jack's friend?" He open the door about to go in as he said "I'll get out once the close is clear and we can look for Agent Puppy and Chameleon after I'm done. I'll only be a minute."
Kitty says "We don't even now how long you'll take." Snaptrap said "Which is why I have to go see now."
Then he went in. As Francisco, Ollie, and Larry all said "He is so stubborn and it's like talking to a brick wall." Everybody nodded in agreement as they are now still hiding in the bushes.
Snaptrap walked up to the top of Jack Skellington's top floor. As he made it to the top he saw some Halloween stuff but the other decoration with it is Christmas tree.
Snaptrap says in a whisper "Now I thought my mom is scarry." He then heard a voice that is Jack Skellington as he says "Zero I'm home."
Snaptrap is a little nervous to hear Jack's voice as he looked around and saw the long curtains behind the window. He hide behind the curtains but Zero started barking. Snaptrap whisper "No go over there."
As he's behind the curtain Zero went to Jack Skellington as he just came up. Jack says to Zero "I got some equipment from the doctor. Now I can experiment on the things from Christmas Town."
Snaptrap whisper asked "Experiment?"
It was a good thing that Jack Skellington didn't looked at the curtains as he was to busy experiment on the Christmas by science. As he was trying things, he even try to make a paper snowflake but made a spiderweb. Then he dissected a teddy bear, and last he made a solution and added a crush ornament to it.
Jack Skellington says "Interesting reaction." Then asked "But what does it mean?"
Outside of Jack's house, the gang still waiting for Snaptrap. Chief let out a sigh as he asked "What is taking him so long?" Ollie was about to say something when they saw Sally coming with a basket. They all watch carefully as Sally attached the basket to a piece of rope, then slowly lifted it to Jack's window on the top floor.
Snaptrap is watching Jack Skellington writing something down on the chalkboard when there was a tapping noise on the caught Jack's attention as he walked over there, now Snaptrap is nervous if he will be found, but turn out Jack Skellington didn't see him as he found the basket as he wave to somebody.
Down below of Jack's house the gang watch Sally ran from Jack's house after giving him the basket. As she ran out of the gate and hide behind the stone wall. The gang all went over to the stone wall and climbed up. As they are now sitting on top of it. As Sally is sitting below them on the ground.
Kitty asked as she smiled "You really like him, don't you?" Sally got a little startled as she looked around and then looked up and saw the gang. Kitty then says "Oh sorry about that. My named is Kitty and these are my friends, Chief, Keswick, Birdbrain, Ollie, Francisco, and Larry."
Sally said with a smiled and is so nice "It's nice to meet you all. My named is Sally." Birdbrain says as he was happy "We couldn't help but notice that you like Jack. We're sorry if we..."
Sally says "It's no trouble at all. You could say that." At that point Chief says with a smirk "Kinda like what happened between Kitty and Dudley as they secretly both liked each." Kitty is now blushing with embarrassment.
They were talking about Dr. Finkelstein to them pushing Sally around as she told them he was her creater as they found out he can be strict at times and was the one who gave Sally life. Keswick then asked "I'm ga-ga-ga-guessing that you'd rather be with Jack?"
Sally reply "I guess I would like that. I'd like to wish him good luck." But then said as she pick up a flower next to the stone wall "That basket was all I could do. But I'll be hopping for his success."
Then they saw the flower turn into a Christmas tree with ornaments. As there eyes was wide open with surprise, but then after a few seconds the little Christmas tree burst into flames as then Kitty asked with surprise "What was that?"
Sally reply "Oh dear. I was afraid of this. Sometimes, I have these... visions." Then she asked "What... what could this mean?" Keswick looked at the burnt stick Sally is holding as he reply "I don't know."
They all looked at Jack Skellington's house. Then it became morning after a while. A skeleton chicken crock as then a song came.
Vampires sing "Something's up with Jack
Something's up with Jack
Don't know if we're ever going to get him back"
Werewolf sing "He's all alone up there
Locked away inside"
Corpse Mother sing "Never says a word"
Corpse Kid sing "Hope he hasn't died"
Vampires and Werewolf sing together "Something's up with Jack
Something's up with Jack"
Everyone is so worried. So Larry finally said "I wonder if Jack found Snaptrap yet."
Sally asked "Snaptrap? Your guy's friend?"
Ollie reply "Yep." As he then said "Snaptrap wanted to see if Jack Skellington now's our other friend Abbey as he sneak into the house." For some reason Sally looked at them in surprise as she heard of that named, but they gang looked at Jack's top floor, Francisco then added "Now probably Snaptrap is spying on Jack. I just hope he won't be upset."
Snaptrap is still behind the curtain's of Jack's. Jack is now pacing back and forth so anxious as he started to sing.
Jack Skellington sing "Christmas time is buzzing in my skull
Will it let me be? I cannot tell
There's so many things I cannot grasp
When I think I've got it, and then at last
Through my bony fingers it does slip
Like a snowflake in a fiery grip
Something here I'm not quite getting
Through I try, I keep forgetting
Like a memory long since past
Here in an instant, gone in a flash
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
In these little bric-a-brac
A secret's waiting to be cracked
These dolls and toys confuse me so
Confound it all, I love it though
Simple objects, nothing more
But something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have a key
Something's there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Hmm..."
Snaptrap kept his eyes on Jack Skellington as he whisper "You need to give it a break Jack."
Jack went to singing again "I've read these Christmas books so many times
I know the stories and I know the rhymes
I know the Christmas carols all by heart
My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart
As often as I've read them, something's wrong
So hard to put my bony finger on
Or perhaps it's really not as deep
As I've been led to think
Am I trying much too hard?
Of course! I've been too close to see
The answer's right in front of me
Right in front of me"
Now Snaptrap was a little scared as he says in a whisper "Get on with it."
Jack Skellington sing "It's simply really, very clear
Like music drifting in the air
Invisible, but everywhere
Just because I cannot see it
Doesn't mean I don't believe it
You know, I think this Christmas thing
It's not as tricky as it seems
And why should they have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone
Not anyone, in fact, but me
Why, I could make a Christmas tree
And there's no reason I can find
I couldn't handle Christmas time
I bet I could improve it too
And that's exactly what I'll do
Hee, hee, hee"
Jack then went to the window as he pop it open for everyone down below can see. Snaptrap new he had to go, but didn't know that the curtain was wrapped around is leg.
Jack Skellington sing "Eureka! This year, Christmas will be ours!"
The crowd below all gasped. Sally and the T.U.F.F. gang glance worry at each other. Back in Jack's house there was a noise as something has fall, Jack looked at the curtain. Jack Skellington saw Snaptrap as he asked "Snaptrap?"
Snaptrap looked at Jack Skellington a little nervous as he says "Hey, Jack." Then he asked "What's up?"
Jack Skellington asked "May I asked what you're doing in my house?" Snaptrap reply "I was about to go now." He tried to get up but the curtain made him fall down again. Then after a while he heard laughter coming from Jack.
Jack Skellington says as he reaching down and helping Snaptrap untangle his leg "Oh, I'm just giving you a hard time. Actually, I'm glad you finally came out of your hiding place, Snaptrap. I want to talk to about..."
Snaptrap was now surprise as he asked "Woe, hold on, you knew I was there?"
Jack Skellington reply "Snaptrap, I am master of hiding, you've got nothing on me." Now Snaptrap is mad again as he started to go to the stairs but Jack Skellington stop him as he says "Wait, Snaptrap! Don't leave! I need to talk to you about Christmas!"
Snaptrap stop and looked at Jack Skellington as he then asked "You know everything, right?"
Snaptrap reply "Oh really, you think me and my friends will help you out, after tricking me? Count us out, we don't want nothing to do with this." Jack Skellington says "I do admit, that was a little harsh. But Snaptrap, I'm sure I could do it. I really am! I could go around the world and wear a red suit and make presents."
Snaptrap then smiled at this part as he then says "Hold on." Then he asked "You're saying that if you were to have Halloween run Christmas, you'd make the presents?"
Jack Skellington reply "Well, with the help of the town of course. But yes, I'd make the presents for all the children!" Snaptrap was happy to hear this and then Jack asked as he hold out a hand "So, what do you say, Snaptrap? Will you and your friends help me?"
Snaptrap then reply "Okay, Jack Skellington. We've got a deal." He held out his hand to Jack's, but then all of sudden he was pulled into a hugged.
Jack says "Oh thank you, Snaptrap." Then he asked "How could I repay you?"
Snaptrap says trying to get out of Jack's hugged "Don't hugged me, werido." He then asked as Jack Skellington let go of him "So, what exactly do you have plan for us?"
What's going to happen next. Find out in Chapter 7.
