HEY EVERYONE! I am so psyched for the Nightmare Before Christmas In 3-D! It's going to be so exciting! Anyway here's the next chapter!
The next morning Sally left her friends home. She hadn't had any sleep. All she could think about was what happened last night. There were so many questions she was curious about. Why was he up there? Where did he come from? Is he alone? These questions just kept buzzing around in her head as she walked home. Finally she reached a huge mansion.
"Daddy, I'm home." Sally said as she opened the door.
"Sally!" Her father exclaimed. He pushed the lever on his wheel chair and came toward her. "How was the slumber party?" He asked.
"It was….interesting." She said.
"How perfectly marvelous." He said. "Oh by the way I finished my latest invention. Would you like to see it?"
"I always do daddy." She said. Her father directed his wheel chair into a very large room filled with tools, and electronics lying about, and Sally followed him. He then picked up a tooth brush lying on the table.
"Look." He said. "It brushes teeth and flosses at the same time." He pushed a small button on the side, and as the tooth brush began to shake, two like sticks came out holding a piece of floss. They moved the floss back and forth. Sally was well off because of her dad's inventions, and this was just another great one.
"It's wonderful daddy."
"Do you think I'll win first prize at the inventor's convention this Christmas?" He asked.
"Of coarse you will dad, just like you've won every year for the last ten year's." He smiled a huge smile. "Well I'm going to go up to my room."
"Alright sweetie." Sally bent down and kissed her dad on the forehead. She went up a long winding stair case. Finally she reached her room. She lay down on her bed. Still thinking about Jack. She suddenly started to doodle him. She drew him for hours. While she was drawing she also remembered the old tux he had been wearing. It was in terrible condition, it must have been 25 years old at the least.
"Poor Jack." She said. Suddenly she had an idea. She ran downstairs, to find her father already working on a new project.
"Hey daddy, where did we put that old Halloween suit, you know the one we put on our skeleton that hung on our door?" Her father thought for a moment.
"I think it's under the staircase in our Halloween box?"
"Can I have it?" Sally asked.
"Sure, but what do you need it for?"
"Oh, I just uh….I was going to give it to my friend, she really wanted it for her haunted house next year."
"Oh well, that's fine then."
"Thanks daddy." Suddenly the door bell rang.
"I'll get it." Said her dad. So she jumped up and ran to the closet. She pulled out the box, and found the suit.
"Perfect." She said. Then she pulled out some wrapping paper and a bow. She wrapped it up and placed the black bow on top. She took a moment to admire her work when she heard her father.
"Sally, there's someone her to see you." He said.
"Coming!" Sally said. She put the package under her arm and walked into the living room.
"Who's here da…Oh Jet!" Sally said.
"Hey Sally." The boy said. He was tall boy with blonde hair except for one strip of brown on his left side, and he had blue eyes. "I thought I'd stop by a little early for our date." He said.
"Our date?" Sally asked.
"Don't tell me you forgot our date Sally."
"Oh that's right." Sally said, finally remembering. "We can go in a little bit, but I need to go drop this off at a friend's house."
"Oh I'll come with you."
"NO! I mean…she doesn't like a lot of people." Sally said hoping he'd buy it. "So you just wait here and I'll be right back."
"Okay baby." He said giving her a quick kiss.
"I told you to stop calling me that!" She said in a joking manner, and with that she left the house, and started to walk up the huge hill again. They should an escalator here or something. Sally thought to herself. She finally reached the top of the hill, and the castle. She opened the giant door again, only this time she knew that someone was living here.
"Jack?" Sally called. "Jack are you here?" While Sally was calling him Jack was in a large room. There were so many machines, and there were cobwebs on everything. Jack seemed to be looking through some things when he came across a photo. Jack blew the the dust off of it. It was an old man on. He was wearing a robe and glasses. Jack sighed.
"Just another day." He said as he put the picture back in the drawer. Suddenly he heard a voice.
"Jack?" It said. Jack widened his eye sockets. He recognized the voice.
"Sally?" He said to himself. He left his room, and looked down from the stairs, and sure enough there was Sally. What is she doing back here? He thought. He then began to walk down the stairs, when Sally saw him.
"Jack!" She said with exctidness in her voice.
"Sally what are you doing back here?" He asked as if he couldn't believe she was here.
"I came to give you something." She said. She took the package from under her arm, and handed to him. He looked down at for a moment.
"For me?" He said.
"No, for the Boogie man. Come on open it." She said. Jack using his long skeleton fingers opened the package. He pulled out what seemed to be a suit. "Go try it on." She said. Jack still not believing what she was giving him, walked into the fire place room. Sally stood there for about two minutes, when the door finally opened. Jack came out wearing his new suit.
"Oh Jack, you look wonderful." Sally said. She ran up to an old mirror and turned it his way. He couldn't believe it was him. He even walked up to the mirror and tapped on it to make sure it wasn't playing any tricks on him. He turned around a few times to look at his new suit from all angles. It was like a tux only better. It had was black with white stripes, had a white part in the front, and to top it all off a bat bow tie.
"Sally this is…I mean…I don't know how to thank you." He finally managed to say.
"Don't it was no big deal." She said. "So uh how's your ankle?" She asked.
"Oh my ankle? Its fine, you know." There was silence for another moment before Sally spoke.
"Well I better get going." She said. She turned around and was leaving, but then she heard Jack call her.
"Sally!" Sally turned around. "W-would you like to ah, I don't know maybe stay for dinner." He asked.
"Oh Jack, I-I wish I could, but I…"
"I understand you don't want to." He said.
"Oh no Jack, it's not that. I wan to stay it's just I already promised my boyfriend I'd go to dinner with him."
"Oh, your boyfriend."
"Yeah, but maybe I don't know, I'm open tomorrow." She said.
"Really?….I mean yeah tomorrow, come on up." He said it so casually as if he were inviting an old friend over.
"Great I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Jack!" She said as she left.
"I told you she'd come back!" A voice said. It was the girl witch Shock.
"She did say that!" The other two boys said.
"She probably came back up, because she feels sorry for me." He said. "She doesn't want to be friends with me."
"Well it sounds like you want to be friends with her."
"And how did it sound like that?" He asked.
"Well, you did invite her up for dinner."
"I'm simply returning a favor." He said.
"Whatever you say." Said the three robot children, as they left.
