Me: Well, this is it
Me: Well, this is it! The VERY last chapter in the series!
Andromeda: So?
Me: Anyway, I am naming my next story The Nightmare Chronicles Part 2, Andromeda the Powerful. Not that I actually agree with that, but tell me what you think!!
Oogie: I like it.
Me: Seriously? YOU?
Andromeda: (coughs) Brain dead loser!
About three hours later, Jack and Oogie managed to save half the town from being burned, or catching the other half on fire. Jack was sporting a fantastic purple circle around his eye, and a broken arm. Oogie had a large rip in his clothe, around the arm, and needed to be stitched up badly. He was extremely irritated at all the nice attention he was getting. The real reason he helped (the rest of) the citizens was because, well, if he didn't rescue everyone else, it would look awkward. It annoyed him greatly. Andromeda seemed thankful, but Oogie was doing his best to be modest around the citizens, (a.k.a just Andromeda), which for Oogie was the equivalent of not mentioning it every 5 seconds.
The young lady had to be taken to the town hospital for her horrid cough; the doctor said that she had smoke inhalation, and needed to be kept in for a few days. When Oogie went to visit her, he discovered that she was not a pretty sight: her brown skin was a deep red, and her eyes had dark circles around them. Her lovely blue eyes looked like they were in deep pain. She was asleep when the ex boogieman saw her, and he thought it was better that way. He watched her for a few minutes, laid some Witch Hazel on the bedside table, and walked out. The doctors were discussing how very worried they were about the beloved princess, saying that she might not make it to her birthday. (Re-death: Can't live with it, can't bear to write about it…)
But, to the town's amazement, she did not re die. About 1 week later, she was up and about, getting used to the idea of walking on a cane. The first thing the girl did was limp up to Oogie and say, "Oogie, you can live in Halloween town again. You have proven yourself worthy, and you may also be reinstated as the boogieman of our town." Oogie stared in shock at the girl.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
After shaking her hand and thanking the princess several times, Oogie instantly left his drawl cavern, and went to find a home. He bought out an old invention work shed from Dr. Finklestein (of all people) and received enough votes from the Board of Elders to be reinstated as the boogieman. Jack seemed to stand by this decision that his daughter had made, mostly because, in his eyes at least, she was blossoming into a lovely young lady, and it was time to let her go.
Andromeda: I'm crying with sadness.
Me: If you didn't like the chapter, just say so!!
Oogie: Well, when are you gonna start torturing us again?
Me: Very soon Oogie. Very soon……….
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!
