Chapter 9

Meeting Oogie Boogie

In Halloween Town everything is almost ready. The gang are watching Sally putting the finish touches on Jack Skellington's 'Sandy Claws' outfit. The gang all looked at each other and they agree about Jack Skellington outfit he has on it's not Santa Claus.

Sally says "You don't look like yourself, Jack. Not at all."

Jack Skellington asked as Sally is still sewing "Isn't it wonderful?" Then said happy "It couldn't be more wonderful!"

Sally said as she pick the pictured and flipped to the old pictured "But you're the Pumpkin King."

Jack Skellington said as he took the picture "Not anymore." He then snapped the picture in half on his knee and he then said "And I feel so much better."

Now Sally and the gang are surprise of what Jack Skellington had done. As Birdbrain says "I didn't see that coming. I do hope he comes out of it soon."

As the gang all nodded in agreement. Sally then said as she is sewing down Jack's sleeve "Jack, I know you think something's missing, but..."

She accidently pricked Jack's finger with the needled as Jack Skellington said "Ow."

Sally was a little nervous as she said "S-sorry."

Jack Skellington says "You're right. Something is missing." Then he asked "But what?" Sally and the gang all smiled and then Jack Skelling said "I've got the beard, the coat, the boots..."

Sally sigh sadly, Chief, Keswick, Birdbrain, Ollie, Francisco, and Larry all groaned, Kitty and Snaptrap just hit there heads in disbelief. Then the door open as we see Lock, Shock, and Barrel ran in with the walking bathtub with a sack saying "Jack, Jack! This time we bagged him."

The gang looked up and saw them. Lock said "This time we really did!"

Shock said "He sure is big, Jack!"

Barrel added "And heavy!"

Dudley and Chameleon came to there friends all sad. Chief asked them "What's wrong you two?"

Dudley reply "Those three will do terrible things to Santa." Chameleon said "We can't let them do it."

Snaptrap thought for a minute as he saw that Jack Skellington is talking to Santa. Snaptrap got an idea as he whisper to Dudley, Chameleon, Larry, Ollie, and Francisco. Jack Skellington says "Of course! That's what I'm missing! Thanks!" He took Santa's hat and place it on his head. Santa was a little mad. As Lock, Shock, and Barrel began to leave with Santa.

Dudley and Chameleon then asked as Snaptrap just finish telling them "Really Snaptrap?"

Snaptrap says "Yep. Now you need to catch up to them with Larry, Ollie, and Francisco."

Chameleon said "Will do."

So Dudley, Chameleon, Ollie, Larry, and Francisco ran after Lock, Shock, and Barrel. As the gang looked at Snaptrap as Kitty asked "What did you tell them, Snaptrap?"

Snaptrap reply "Told them that Jack Skellington send them on the mission to keep an eye on Santa, as that's there job."

They all smirked at Snaptrap as they new what he did and they looked at Sally who looks very worry as she says "This is worse that I thought. Much worse... I know!" She disappeared into the crowd.

Over at the woods Dudley, Chameleon, Larry, Ollie, and Francisco are following Lock, Shock, and Barrel.

Barrel asked "Where are we taking him?"

Lock reply "To Oogie Boogie, of course. There isn't anywhere in the whole world more comfortable than that." Then he asked "Jack said to make him comfortable, didn't he?"

Shock and Barrel both reply "Yes he did."

Santa asked in the sack "Haven't you ever heard of peace on earth and goodwill toward men?"

Lock, Shock, and Barrel all reply "NO!"

Now Larry, Ollie, and Francisco are surprised to hear this Oogie Boogie man. As they continued to follow the three kids. They made it to the tree house as they are now in the lower level of the tree house.

Santa sayd "Don't do this! Naughty children never get any presents!"

Lock, Shock, and Barrel just ignored him and they are forcing him down the big metal chute.

Shock said "I think he might be too big."

Lock says "No, he's not! If he can go down a chimney, he can fit down here!"

The one last push, Santa disappeared down the chute! As then Dudley, Chameleon, Larry, Ollie, and Francisco all jump to the chute as they didn't want to lose Santa. Lock, Shock, and Barrel were surprise.

Barrel then asked as he broke the silence "That looks like Dudley, Chameleon, and there friends, wasn't it?"

Lock reply "I'm pretty sure about that."

Shock says "Good. They didn't have to sneak up on us."

As they made it to the bottom of the chute Dudley, Chameleon, Ollie, Larry, and Francisco got off of Santa as they have landed on top of him. Santa couldn't get up as he had his hands tied up above his head.

Chameleon asked "Are you all right?"

Dudley, Ollie, Larry, and Francisco all looked around as they notice there in a giant roulette table. Then the lights went dim as Dudley says "Hold that answer, Chameleon. I think Oogie Boogie is coming out."

The black light's are shown and everything is now neon glowing. Then the two doors open and a pair of dice rolled out. Dudley, Chameleon, Ollie, Larry, and Francisco are confused at this. Then a song came as Oogie Boogie came out.

Oogie Boogie singing "Well, well, well!

What have we here?

Sandy Claws, huh?

Ooh! I'm really scared!

So you're the one

Everybody's talkin' about!

Ha, ha, ha!

You're jokin'! You're jokin'!

I can't believe my eyes!

This can't be the right guy!

He's accident! He's ugly!

I don't know which is worse!

I might just split a seam now

Mister Oogie Boogie says

There's trouble close at hand!

You'd better pay attention now

'Cause I'm the Boogie Man!

And if you're aren't shakin'

'Cause this may be the last time

Whoa oh!"

Three Skeletons sing "Whoa oh!"

Oogie Boogie "Whoa oh!"

Two Skeletons sing "Whoa oh!"

Oogie Boogie "Whoa oh!"

Three bats sing "Whoa oh!"

Together singing "I'm (he's) the Oogie Boogie Man!"

Now Dudley, Chameleon, Ollie, Francisco, and Larry are shaking a little bit from a big potato sack but it did made Chameleon want some bugs he saw from Oogie Boogie.

Dudley and Chameleon sing a little scared "Release him now or you must face"

Ollie and Larry sing a little scared "The dire consequences!"

Francisco sing a little scared "The children are expecting him"

All together they are singing and still a little scared "So please, come to your senses!"

Oogie Boogie "Ha! You're jokin'! You're jokin'!

I can't believe my ears!

Would someone shut these guys up?

I'm drawin' in my tears!

It's funny! I'm laughing'!

You really are too much!

And now, with your permission

I'm going to do my stuff!"

Dudley, Chameleon, Ollie, Francisco, Larry, and Santa sing "What are you going to do?"

Oogie Boogie "I'm gonna do the best I can!

Whoooah

The sound of rolling dice

To me is music in the air!

'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man

Now that'd be just fine!"

Dudley, Chameleon, Ollie, Francisco, and Larry sing together "Release him fast or you will have to

Answer for this heinous act!"

Then he hooked Santa from his rope he's tied up. As he starting to tied up Dudley, Chameleon, Ollie, Francisco, and Larry together. Then hooked them from the rope they are tied together.

Oogie Boogie "Oh, brother, you're somethin'!

You put me in a spin! You aren't comprehending

The position you're in!

It's hopeless! You're finish!

You haven't got a prayer!

'Cause I'm Mister Oogie Boogie

And you ain't goin' nowhere!"

Now they are a little scarred of what Oogie Boogie is going to do as it went up to Lock, Shock, and Barrel as they all laugh.
