HEY EVERYONE! Sorry I didn't post a chapter last week. I was in Disneyland! For the first time ever I went on the NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS RIDE! IT WAS SO AWSOME! I went on 6 times! Well I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"Jack…" A soft voice called his name. "Jack…" It said again. He looked around the room, but there was no one to be found. He turned around once more and out of nowhere appeared Sally.

"Sally?" He whispered softly. He looked down at her, and she smiled.

"Hello Jack." She said. Jack slowly put his bony hand on her soft cheek. He stroked it gently. He stepped closer to her so that they were only a few inches apart.

"Sally…I…I love you." He said calmly. She smiled a huge smile, as she leaned closer to Jack.

"I love you too Jack." His eye sockets widened at the words. Jack and Sally slowly leaned in, as Jack wrapped his long arms around her. He pulled his lips to hers, and kissed her gently.

Suddenly Jack shot up from his bed. He breathed very heavily, and looked around the room. It had been a dream. He plopped his skull into his hands.

Of coarse it was a dream! He told himself. It could never really happen.

He stood up and walked out of his room rubbing his eye sockets. It had to have been 1:00 in the morning. He walked down the long winding staircase until he reached the huge living room. It seemed darker then usual. He plopped down into a huge chair, and once again held his skull in his head. He almost fell asleep again when he heard a voice.

"Hey Jack!" Shock said cheerily. Jack jumped from his seat at her cheery voice.

"You..."

"I scared you." Shock said. Jack suddenly straightened up.

"You STARTLED me." He emphasized.

"Whatever." Shock said. She rolled over to a drawer, and pulled out a large battery.

"Wait a minute! Why are you up so late?" Jack asked.

"My battery turned on by accident, so I have to put an almost dead battery in." She said. She slipped her old battery out and placed a new one in. "It should shut off any minute now." She said. "What are you doing up late…again? Having another dream about Sally?"

"How did you know I was having another dream about Sally?" He asked.

"I passed by your room, and you were whispering 'Sally' in your sleep." Jack looked at her angrily. He turned around and began to walk away.

"You know she has a boyfriend right?" Shock asked. Jack stopped dead in his tracks, and turned around so that he was facing her.

"I'm fully aware of that Shock." He said. He was trying to control his temper.

"I'm just telling you that if you tell her you love her, you might want to do it after they break up." His attempt to keep control of his temper was slipping away.

"For the last time, I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH HER!" He screamed the last part of his sentence. Shock just stood there, and after a moment finally spoke.

"If you're not in love with her, why do you get angry when ever she brings up her boyfriend?" Jack was really angry now.

"Do you want to know why Shock? Because I don't have a good feeling about him. I mean if he cares about Sally so much, why does she always come up here?!"

"But you've never met him."

"That doesn't mean I can't hate him. I mean Sally has had to leave early 5 times, because that stupid Jet makes plans at the worst times, and she doesn't want to be late!" Shock just stood there as Jack continued.

"I don't love her, but the day those two break up will be the best day of my life!" Jack turned around and began to walk up the long winding staircase.

"You can't deny it forever Jack! You know you lo…" Suddenly Shock's head plopped down, and her glowing eyes went dark.

"Thank god for dead batteries."

The next day…

Sally was walking over to the large hill to go up and see Jack. She walked down the street when she heard someone call her name.

"SALLY!" The voice said. Sally turned around to see Jet.

"Jet." She said happily. He ran up and kissed her. "What are you so happy about?" She asked.

"This!" He said. He took out a test that had a 100 on it. "I aced my science test." Sally smiled.

"Oh Jet I'm so proud of you! I knew all that studying would pay off."

"Yeah, not to mention a little trip to Mr. Harpers desk, and answer sheet." Sally's huge grin quickly left her face.

"W-what? Jet did you cheat?"

"I prefer to think of it more as a study guide." Sally stepped away. "Oh come on Sally. If I didn't pass this test I wouldn't have been able to play on the football team." Sally couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Jet that doesn't excuse you from cheating."

"Come on Sally don't make such a big deal out of this. It was just one test!"

"It is a big deal Jet. Cheating is cheating, and I can't believe that you would do it."

"You always have to make a big deal out of little things! Crystal didn't think it was a big deal!" He suddenly closed his mouth and Sally widened her eyes.

"W-what does Crystal have to do with any of this?" She asked. Jet rubbed the back of his head trying to answer the question.

"Nothing." He said. Suddenly Sally understood.

"Well, I guess the test isn't the only thing you cheated on." She said. Jet just stood there. "How could you Jet?"

"How could I?! HOW COULD YOU?! I heard from somebody that you've been going up to that castle almost everyday, and have been seeing someone."

They promised they wouldn't tell. Sally thought to herself. "I haven't been cheating on you Jet!"

"Oh sure Sally, like I'm supposed to believe that!"

"You should."

"Well I don't!"

"Well maybe we need to be apart for awhile!" Sally said.

"FINE BY ME!" He yelled, and with that the two stomped away from each other. Sally could feel tears slowly running down her cheeks. She started to walk home, when she remembered she'd promised she would meet Jack. She wiped the tears from her eyes hoping he wouldn't notice.

"Come on Sally. You don't want Jack to think anything is wrong." So she continued to wipe her face as she walked up the hill.

Meanwhile Jack was wondering into the gigantic living room looking and feeling more tired then he had ever felt before. He couldn't get back to sleep after what had happened last night.

"Come on Jack straighten up. You don't want Sally thinking anything is wrong do you?" Suddenly he heard a knock at the door. "That must be her." He quickly walked over to the huge door expecting to see Sally's usual bright and happy face. But when he opened the door he saw a frown and rd eyes.

"Hi Jack." She said very plainly as she walked in. Jack closed the door behind her.

"Sally are you okay?" He asked. Sally turned around to face him.

"Oh, yes I'm fine." She replied. Jack walked over to her. He lifted her chin up with his bony finger.

"You don't look fine." He said.

"It's nothing. I just had a little fight with Jet that's all."

"What kind of fight."

"Jack really it's nothing. I don't want to put my problems on you." He gently wiped the two tears that rolled down her cheeks.

"Sally…you can talk to me about anything." Sally couldn't help but smile a bit.

"O-okay." She said.

"Now why don't you tell me what happened." So Jack and Sally wondered the castle as Sally told Jack, what had happened. Jack didn't interrupt. He just walked along and listened carefully. Finally after walking and talking for an hour they ended up in the living room again.

"Jack I-I don't understand. Doesn't he know I wouldn't cheat on him? But I guess Crystal is smarter and prettier then I am. She looked down at the floor trying to hide her tears. Jack hated to see her like this. That idiot boy was blinder then a bat. He tilted her chin up and lowered his head so that they were eye level.

"Sally…there is no girl hat could be smarter or prettier then you." Sally felt more tears coming on. Jack noticed this, and took her into his arms. She cried into his bony chest as he ran his fingers through her hair.

"Shh. Shh. It's okay Sally. It's okay." He held her for what seemed like eternity, and he didn't want it to end, but she eventually broke away from the embrace.

"Oh, Jack I don't know what to do. What do you think I should do?" This was his chance. He could tell Sally to break up with this looser, and she would probably listen to him. He was about to say it, but then he looked into her said eyes. Those beautiful green eye's that he loved were now a dark grey. He knew what he had to do.

"Sally…I-I think that you need to talk to Jet. Sure what he did was bad, but he is probably very sorry. You should talk to him." Sally looked up at Jack, and knew he was right.

"Thank you Jack. You really are a good friend." She hugged him, and he enjoyed her arms around him for one last moment.

"I should go." She said.

"Goodbye Sally."

"Goodbye Jack." Sally walked out the door and ran down the huge hill. When she reached the bottom, she saw Jet leaning against a house. Sally walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around.

"Sally." He said. "I'm glad you're here. I just wanted to say I'm sorry. You were right cheating was wrong, and I shouldn't have gone out with Crystal. I guess I was just feeling jealous. But you got to believe me Sally, I care about you."

"Thank you Jet." She said. The two hugged one another.

"Hey I have an idea." He said. "Your dad's not here for Christmas right?"

"Well he'll be back at about ten o'clock on Christmas Eve, but yeah he'll be at the convention for a while."

"Why don't we hangout at your place on Christmas? Just the two of us."

"I'd like that." Sally said.

"Great." He said, and the two kissed each other. Jack watched from his window as the two kissed. He sighed. Suddenly Shock appeared.

"I saw what happened." She said. Jack didn't say anything. "You could have told Sally to break up with him; you had a chance to break them up! She'd probably listen to you."

"I know." Jack said as he continued to stare out the window.

"Then why didn't you tell her to break up with him." Jack looked at Sally down at the bottom, as she laughed and smiled again, and he finally realized why he didn't do that.

"Because Shock…I…I love her." Shock's eyes widened. "And I only want the best for her." Jack slowly walked away from the window and up the staircase, not being able to see Sally and Jet together.

HE LOVES HER! R & R!
