OK, I'm only decent with romance, but this chapter is based around that genre. Even if there is A LOT of build up, until I show you Valentine's Town. Hmm, I can have romance along with an epic throw down. Besides, even if this is around romance, *spoilers* it has the 2nd fight with Oogie Boogie since Turkey Day Town.
Even if, this chapter is VERY important then it seems. You'll has to read to see why, and I made NO errors on dates here, so don't correct me, I know what I'm doing. I might fail at basic math, but I'll get my facts right for purposes of writing.
12 Nightmares of Christmas
A Valentine's Nightmare
Halloween Town: December 11, 11:00 Hours
Edgar Allen was walking around the town. He waved at Lock, Shock and Barrel as the trio were working on a potion with the witches.
The boy then saw the mayor in the distance. He ran up to Mayor, who had his face in the sad position.
"Edgar Allen, have you seen Jack Skellington anywhere, he hasn't returned ever since going to Christmas Town," Mayor saighed.
Edgar Allen shrugged his shoulders while shaking his head 'no'.
The mayor quickly got into his car. He then began to drive it all around the town.
"Our king has gone missing! Let's all get together and save Jack Skellington and Christmas Town," Mayor repeatly announced as he drove around Halloween. Town.
Soon every monster of Halloween Town gathered around at the front gate.
They all were humming, 'Saving Christmas' as they waited for the mayor.
Sally slowly walked into the crowd and stood next to Edgar Allen and Dr. Finkelstein. The rag doll turned to the two.
"What's going on," Sally asked.
"Dad's gone missing, I guess," Edgar Allen shrugged.
Sally gasped at that.
"Saving Christmas," almost everyone chanted as the mayor arrived in his car.
"Let's go... um...does anyone know where we can find Christmas Town," Mayor said getting out of his car with his sad face.
"I do," the tall Mr. Hyde said.
Mr. Hyde stood to the front, as a smaller Mr. Hyde appeared from under his hat.
"Yeah, we followed Jack there last time," the small one continued.
Then an even smaller one appeared from under the small ones hat.
"How else was Jack gong to save his progress," the even smaller one added.
The mayors face turned to happy.
"Then what are we waiting for, lead the way," Mayor said.
"Let's go," Mr. Hyde said as the small ones gone back under the hats.
Mr. Hyde then went to the gate and opened it. He then rushed out of town with everyone following them.
"La la la la la la la la," Lock, Shock and Barrel chanted from behind Mr. Hyde.
"Hail to Jack Skellington, Oogie will never win," the three sung.
"Saving Christmas, saving Christmas, we can win," the mayor shouted.
After the long walk, they arrived at the holiday doors. Everyone stared in awe at them.
Mr. Hyde walked up to the Christmas Door, and opened it.
"This way to Christmas Town," Mr. Hyde shouted.
"I hope he's OK," Sally sighed.
Mr. Hyde went into the magical followed by the former troublesome trio. Then all the werewolves, witches and vampires entered Christmas Town. The mayor kept his happy face on while he entered.
Soon only Sally and Edgar Allen stood in front of the door. Edgar Allen sighed as green smoke surrounded his body, before he transformed into a vampire bat. As the bat, he flew into Christmas Town.
"Jack, I'm coming," Sally cried out before ramming into the vortex.
Christmas Town: December 11, 21:00 Hours
So, they all fell down into Christmas Town. There were absolutely no lights and the ground was still just plain grass. They all gasped when they looked at the sign.
The sign that once read 'Christmas Town' had rust on it.
What was worse is that the same boy who Jack saw, named Doug, was on a ladder. He climbed up the ladder and stood close to the letters. Doug had a can of red paint, as he dipped the brush in it. He quickly then used the paint to censor the word 'Christ' in 'Christmas'.
Doug smirked at his work, before climbing down the ladder.
"Oh no," Sally said once she saw the missing spirit.
"This town has only two weeks until Christmas, what's going on," Mayor asked with a sad face.
"This way to Santa," Mr. Hyde motioned.
Mr. Hyde then lead the monsters into Christmas Town. As everyone in Christmas Town was sleeping, except Doug of course, the monsters of Halloween Town walked down the streets of Christmas Town.
Sally took notice of a big pile of dust. The dust came from the big tree being burnt down.
"La la la la la la," Lock, Shock and Barrel chanted, as almost everyone was humming 'saving Christmas'.
Edgar Allen, in his normal form, was walking behind Dr. Finkelstein as the doctor slowly rolled along with the group.
They kept on walking and quickly went past Anna from Frozen who was duck tapped to the tree. Doug took out a long piece of duck tape and sealed her mouth shut. "No more, you used to be dark Disney," Doug shouted as he continued to duck tape her to the tree.
They all soon arrived at Santas Workshop, and Sally was shocked at its destruction.
"Ge'ez, 'Sandy Claws' works in a dump," a witch said.
As every monster from Halloween Town went up to the workshop, Sally dragged behind. Then a shadowed hand muffled her mouth, so she couldn't call out for help. The shadowed figure then dragged her away while no one was looking.
Valentine's Town: December 23, 15:30 Hours
Sally opened her eyes and looked around her new destination.
She was tied up to a tree by strong spider webs. Jack was still conscious on the other side of the tree.
As Sally struggled to be set free, she took a quick glance at a trash can in the distance. There were love letters in it, all ripped up and thrown away. Across the street in another trash can was chocolate in heart boxes and flowers.
"So this is supposed to be the town of love," Sally said to herself.
"Yes," tiny voice whispered in her ear.
The rag doll looked around, before seeing baby cupid in front of her. He was just a small fairy baby in a diaper.
"Here, let me help," Cupid said.
The fairy flew down to the spider web and took out an arrow, and slashed at the webs. Sally and Jack then were released from the tree. The pumpkin king was still resting as he fell face first on the ground.
Jack then woke up with a loud gasp, before standing up. He looked around the town.
"Where am I," Jack asked.
Cupid flew in front of him and said, "Valentine's Town, sir."
Sally looked at the tree that they were tied on and saw something. It was a carved heart with 'J&S' in the middle. Sally smiled touching the carving.
"Jack, did you carve this," Sally asked pointing to it.
"I don't think so," Jack stretched.
"All I remember is that I went back to find Oogie Boogie on December 1st, then I somehow ended up here," Jack stated.
Cupid smiled looking at Jack and Sally.
"You guys haven't been corrupted yet, then," Cupid asked.
Sally turned to the fairy.
"Um, no. Why do you ask," Sally replied.
Cupid then frowned at them. "Follow me," he said.
As Cupid began to fly towards a big park. Jack and Sally followed the fairy. The soon arrived at a wooden fence. Cupid pointed to a former couple in the distance.
The boy was big and buff. He wore a sport jersey and sweat pants. He had blue eyes and slick blonde hair. He was also holding a football.
The girl was a bit shorter. She wore a plain pink shirt. She had green eyes with red hair that fell to shoulder length.
"I have more important things to do instead of going out with you," the boy named Ryan said. He had a western American accent.
"Oh really, like sports," the girl named Lilly said. She had a German accent.
"Of course," Ryan shouted.
"Fine, go and play, as if I care," Lilly shouted.
Sally felt sad looking at this, as Jack was wanting to see the drama go on. Cupid sighed looking at the former couple as they kept arguing.
"You see what I mean," Cupid said.
"What happened, anyway," Sally asked.
Cupid flew in front of the two.
"A strange sack like person appeared in Valentine's Town, stole my love arrows and crossbow, and used the magic to turn everyone into hatred instead of love," Cupid said.
"Do you know where he went," Jack said.
"Yeah, we are looking for him," Sally added.
"He's resides in my house," Cupid sighed.
"Lead the way," Sally said.
Cupid nodded as he flew away. Jack and Sally held hands as they walked with the fairy.
They soon arrived at a small house. It was painted pink, with the roof in the shape of a heart.
"In here," Cupid pointed.
The fairy opened the door, as Jack and Sally walked inside.
"He'll be back in a few minutes," Cupid said.
"OK, we'l be ready to defeat that Oogie Boogie once and for all," Jack sweared.
"It's sad really, a town of love, now a town of hate," Sally sighed.
Jack turned to her.
"Hey, we'll get through this," Jack said to her
Sally whimpered a little, as Jack held her hands.
They began to sing together.
Song: SallyXJack
Sally
We should have known not to believe
And things would not have turned so bad
Jack
It's true his plan was to deceive
But that should not make you so sad
Sally
But danger waits at every turn
Jack
And I am ready
To set things right here
Sally
How can you say that we will be okay?
And come back another day?
What will become of Christmas town?
Now that we've let our leader down
Jack
You know, dear Sally, that's not true
We can take Christmas back, me and you
Sally
There's so much danger yet to face
Jack
But I'm not worried, back home I hurried
My dearest friend, if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side
Where we can gaze into into stars
Jack and Sally
And sit together, now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see
We're simply meant to be
If we work hard
We'll overcome our shame
And beat him at his game
After their song, Jack and Sally hugged each other, before sharing a quick kiss.
"Let's go save Christmas," Jack smiled.
They then preyed apart when they heard a familiar laugh. They looked behind them and saw Oogie Boogie. This time, something was different with the king of bugs.
The boogeyman's arms were now drills! He also was holding cupids crossbow, with black hearts instead of pink ones.
"Sorry to break you guys up, but Christmas is going to be mine," Oogie laughed.
Jack growled and pointed to him.
"I told you to never leave your lair," Jack growled.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Oogie Boogie laughed.
"Guys, he stole my magic, and made those strange hearts," Cupid whispered.
Oogie smiled. "That's right, little fairy! Instead of making people fall in love, it causes pure hatred. The perfect weapon to destroy Christmas joy," Oogie Boogie laughed.
As the pumpkin king ran up to the boogeyman, Oogie pulled out an arrow with one of the black hearts on it, before firing it from the crossbow.
"Whoa," Jack cried as he side-stepped.
The anti-love arrow flew past him and hit directly on Sally's right arm.
"Oh crap," Cupid said flying out of the room.
Sally Ragdoll furiously pulled the arrow out of her right arm, causing the arm to arm come off her body. She threw the arm on the ground and rushed up to Jack Skellington.
Jack turned to Sally with a worried face.
"Are you OK," he asked.
Then Sally suddenly slapped Jack hard with her lone left arm on the check. Jack held his bone check in pain with the face of almost crying. He turned back to Oogie Boogie for a split second.
"What have you done to her," Jack cried to Oogie.
Oogie Boogie laughed evilly.
"Who said I play fair," Oogie laughed.
Oogie Boogie took out another anti-love arrow and fired at Jack Skellington. The pumpkin dodged it once again, by grabbing the arrow. Jack sighed throwing the arrow on the ground.
Sally Ragdoll then used an uppercut on Jack's chin.
"Sally please stop, we have a son," Jack pleaded.
"And look what he brought us to," Sally growled as she gut punched Jack Skellington.
Jack sighed looking at the rag doll, before noticing a bright green glow coming from the missing right arm hole. He backed up as Sally swung another slap his way.
"The anti-heart is inside your body, allow me to get it out," Jack said.
"Nope," Sally shouted as she kicked him away from her.
Oogie Boogie laughed evilly as he used cupid's tiny crossbow and fired more anti-love arrows at Jack. Jack had to keep dodging Sally's attacks and the arrows now. Jack Skellington ducked Sally's punch and an arrow. Jack then sighed as he looked up at the green glow coming from the right arm hole.
"I'm sorry Sally, but I need to do this," Jack said.
He then stood up and tackled her to the ground. Sally struggled to push Jack off her.
"Get of me you creep," Sally cried.
Jack quickly shoved his arm into the arm hole. He felt around for a few seconds, before pulling out the small black heart that was glowing green. It's glow started to fade, as Sally took a deep breathe.
Jack got off her as he crushed the anti-heart in his hands. Sally stood up holding her head in pain like she had a headache.
"Ow, what happened," she moaned.
Jack picked up her right arm and gave it to her.
"Long story," Jack sighed.
"Come on," Oogie taunted at the two.
The boogeyman then charged at the lovers with his drill arms. Jack and Sally side-stepped making Oogie charged past them.
Oogie Boogie then started up his drills, causing them to circle round very fast. He then swung the drills at Sally. The rag doll shrieked a little as she backed up dodging the attack. He roared in the sky with his drills spinning at the speed of sound.
"Now with your permission, I'm going to do my stuff," Oogie whispered in Sally's face.
"What are you going to do," Sally shook with fear, holding her lose right arm close.
"I'm going to do the best I can," Oogie winked.
Oogie Boogie then used his drills on the ground and dug deep. As his drill arms dug through the ground, Sally and Jack backed up to the wall.
Oogie lifted himself back on his feet. There were now two deep holes on the ground.
"Your graves, go ahead and take a rest," Oogie said pointing to the holes.
Then on the wall above Jack and Sally were adult scorpions.
Sally and Jack looked at the wall and saw the scorpions crawling down towards them. The scorpions fell off the wall and started chasing the two on the ground. Jack and Sally slowly walked backwards towards the two holes in the ground.
The scorpions kept on chasing the two, as Oogie Boogie laughed. Jack and Sally were just a few feet from the grave holes.
"Your plan is finished," Jack called back to Oogie.
"Not if I cheat a little," Oogie smirked.
Oogie Boogie then started up his drills arms again. He then placed them over the grave holes.
Jack and Sally were still backing away from the scorpions and almost touched the drill hands. Sally jumped over some scorpions so she could be away fro the drills. A thousand scorpions then surrounded her.
Sally used her right arm and began sweep up the ground, causing some scorpions to back off. Sally sighed as she held a tight grip on her lose arm.
Meanwhile Jack was only a few inches away from Oogie's drill arms. Jack looked at the ground and saw a tiny arrow with an anti-love heart on it.
"I've got to try," Jack whispered.
Jack scooped up the arrow and turned to the boogeyman.
The drill arms were close to touching the pumpkin king, as Jack used great reflexes as he used the arrow and stabbed the boogeyman's chest. Jack then ripped open the blanket as he swiped down hard. The anti-heart infected Oogie's body quickly.
"I'll get you for this! I will never be forgiving, d-," Oogie started.
Then scorpions, snakes and spider began to fall out of Oogie Boogie's hole in his chest.
"I'll get you, with a bigger Boogie Trap," Oogie shouted as he ran away.
The scorpions that were around Jack and Sally began to crawl away. They all crawled into the two big holes. Oogie Boogie slammed the door on his way out.
Sally Ragdoll picked up some spider webs to sow her arm back on. Jack and Sally quickly ran out of the building, and couldn't find the boogeyman anywhere in site.
Cupid then flew in front of the two lovers. He had his tiny crossbow back.
"Thank you, now I can get this town back to normal," Cupid squeaked.
"No problem," Sally said.
"Now we need to hurry a save Christmas Town," Jack stated.
As the two ran out of Valentine's Town, a small poodle barked at them as they rushed past him.
The first thing Cupid did was fly to Ryan and Lilly in the park. He then fired his love arrows at the two, making them fall in love again.
Well after that 'decent' chapter on romance, (because it was more of a fight) you guys are in for a treat tomorrow. It's my favorite of the entire fanfiction, too. I say; that because of 2 special guests. Hint, they are from my other favorite Christmas special. I admit people say the 2008 'remake' doesn't compare to the 1974 original.
Song is basically from the game, where Jack was saving Sally from a giant spider, with some verses from the final song in the real movie. Oh, and replace 'our town' with 'Christmas Town'. Anyway, see you tomorrow for things to get ugly, or should I say Oogie!
P.S. I'm sorry to Siily Lilly and Jurassic Storm if you are reading this, I HAD to use you for the broken couple! I don't won't to cause any trouble. I honestly couldn't think of an OC design at the top of my head, just for that. Go ahead and flame me all you want.
