A few years has, past since Christine Skellington was born, she was now a young beautiful eighteen years old.
Ragdoll she looked like her, mother but she had most of her, father's talent's Christine had been. Well taught by her father,
the ragdoll was at a, theater called the Opera Populaire, that was owned by her father. She was at a rehearsing for the play,
called Hannibal one of the corpse girls was singing, Christine was one of the dancing girls, her father was there as well watching her.

(Alison sings)

This trophy from our savoires, from our savoires from the enslaving force of Rome.

(Chorus girls)

With feasting and dancing and song, tonight in celebration,
We greet the vitorious throng, returned to bring salvation.

(Chorus men)

The trumpets of Carthage resound!, Hear Romans now and tremble.
Hark to our step on the ground.

(All sing)

Hear the drums Hannibal comes.

Jack Skellington had been, watching the rehearsal from backstage, then he noticed a pudgy looking corpse man.
Walking onto the stage for his performance.

(Bruno)

Sad to return to find the land, we love threatened by once more by Roma's reaching grasp.

Jack had then came onto, the stage with two older looking corpse men, one was named Richard Firmin.
And the other one was, Gilles Andre.

(Reyer)

Gentlmen gentlemen please.

(Jack Skellington)

Rehearsal's as you can see, are under way for a new production Chalumeau's " Hannibal".

(Reyer)

Monsieur Skellington I am rehearsing right now please sir.

(Jack Skellington)

Of course monsieur Reyer I am truly sorry I had interrupted your rehearsal.

Jack Skellington was going to make, an anouncement about his retirement from owning the theater.

(Jack Skellington)

Monsieur Reyer, Madame Giry ladies and gentlemen.
Please if I could have your attention please.

As you all know, for some weeks there have been rumors of my imminment retirement from owning the theater.
I can now tell you, that these are all true and it is my pleasure, to introduce you to the two gentlemen.
Who now own the Opera Populaire, Monsieur Richard Firmin and Monsieur Gilles Andre.

The Pumpkin King, then turned to his daughter Christine and watched as the two men, talked.

(Firmin)

And we are deeply honoured to introduce our new patron, the Vicomte de Changy.

A young and handsome teenaged, skeleton boy walked onto the stage, Christine was standing beside her father.
And best friend Shock.

(Christine)

It's Barrell we used to be childhood sweethearts.

(Shock)

Christine he's so handsome.

(Barrell)

My parents and I are honoured to support all the arts especially the world renowned Opera Populaire.

Shock looked at her best friend, Christine who was blushing at Barrell.

(Shock)

Oh Christine he's so handsome isn't he?.

(Christine)

Shock stop teasing me, he wouldn't reconised me anyways.

(Jack Skellington)

Vicomte, Gentlemen, Signora Carlotta Guidicelli, our leading soprano for five seasons now.
And Signor Ubaldo Piangi.

As soon as Jack finished introducing them, to everyone he had let Madame Giry take over.
While he went back, to his job with the Mayor.

(Barrell)

An honour Signor, I believe I'm keeping you from your rehearsal.
I will be here this evening to share your great triumph. My apologies, Monsieur.

(Reyer)

Thank you, Monsieur le Vicomte. Once again if you please signor.

(Carlotta)

He loves me.

Once Jack had left, Madame Giry then showed the men around while, they watched the dancing girls do their thing.

(Madame Giry)

We take particular pride here in the excellence of our ballets, Monsieurs

(Firmin)

I can see, why especially that little angel.

(Giry)

My daughter Shock.

(Firmin)

And that, exceptional beauty? no relations I trust.

(Giry)

Christine Skellington, promising talent, Monsieur Firmin very promising.

(Firmin)

Skellington, did you say? no relation to the famous Pumpkin King I trust?.

(Giry)

His only child, she will be Queen someday monsieur, she came here to train in the ballets.

(Firmin)

A Queen, you say she'll be a very lovely Queen indeed.

((Chorus))

Bid welcome to Hannibal's guests, the elephants of Carthagel.
As guides on our conquering quest, Dido sends Hannibal's friends.

((Chorus with Carlotta and Piangi))

The trumpeting elephants sound, hear, Romans, now and tremble!.
Hark to the step on the ground, hear the drums1 Hannibal comes!.

Christine looked and, saw her mother watching her, Sally was proud of her daughter.
So was her father.

Ok wow this was rather long ok I don't own any of the music or the character's from both Nightmare before Christmas and Phantom of the Opera.

Or the plot for this story I'm just making it into a Nightmare version one.

Ok so what should happen next any idea's?.

Also this story is dedicated to Cohen's Chicas.

And I hope my detailing is getting better.
