Okay, I finally sat down and planned out the entire story, so updates should be a lot faster. I know the last chapter was kinda boring, but please keep reading cause it's gonna get better. I thought of a great ending and you have to keep reading to find out.
Disclaimer: I do not own Jack, Sally, or the Nightmare Before Christmas. I do own the french waiter. Lucky me.
They got out of the house and Jack led the way to Le Rot, the best and most expensive resteraunt in town. Jack opened the door and said, "Ladies first." "Oh, why thank you." It was an act they had performed many times. Back at home they were not as gentlemany and ladylike. There was no one but them in Le Rot. " I booked the whole resteraunt, just for us." said Jack. the lighting was low, there were candles lit all around, and there was soft, pretty music playing. Jack always had been a romantic man. A zombie waiter came out. "Are you ready to place your orderz?" he had an attrocious franch accent. They sat down at a table in the center of the room. "I'll have the snails a'plenty platter." said Jack. "I'll have the small roast vulture." said Sally. "Right away!" said the waiter. "Snails again Jack? Don't you remember what happened last year?" "Hey, that snail was asking for it, and that courpse's head was a bit crooked anyway. I figure I did him a favor by removing it." they both laughed. "I look nice, so do i get to know where we are going tomorrow?" Typical Jack, he never could wait. " I suppose you've earned it." "Well?" "I was thinking we could go to Valentine's Town." Sally looked expectantly to see Jack's reaction. To her relief, he was smiling. "Sounds splendid." Sally smiled. then Jack thought of something. "Have you been wondering about the baby?" "Well, actually I..." but then the waiter returned with their food.
"Ah, zee snail platter for Jaque, and zee vulture for zee lovely Sally." Sally blushed, and Jack looked pissed. the waiter continued to stare at Sally. "May I have some salt with this?" Jack asked quickly, anything to stop the waiter from looking at Sally. It was making him anxious. "Oh, yeah, I'll be right out with zat." the waiter left. "Jack, what has gotten into you?!" Sally whispered loudly. Jack seethed to himself. but just as the waiter returned with some salt, Jack leaned over and gave Sally a long kiss. Sally was making some small protesting noises, but Jack kept kissing her until the waiter left.
"Jack!" Sally exclaimed as soon as the waiter left, "did you just kiss me because of that stupid waiter?" "Yes" he mumbled. He never could lie to Sally. Sally's face reddened with anger. "What the hell Jack! He didn't do anything! Are you going to be like that with any guy who looks at me?!" Jack lowered his head. "I can't help it Sally. I just don't like it when other guys look at you." Sally snorted and rolled her eyes. "I'll try to mind my manners. Can you really blame me? You look so beautiful it makes me jealous." He knew that Sally loved when he complimented her. He gave her one of his famous Skellington grins. "Please?" she looked up and said "Okay, but only because it's our aniversary. Mind your manners Jack." They began eating. Well, Sally did, because Jack looked down and discovered his snails were scooting on the floor."Be right back!" said Jack. "No Jack!" but it was too late. Jack was crawling on the floor to collect his snails. Sally hing her head to stop from laughing. The seven foot five inches Pumpkin King was crawling on the floor to collect snails. It looked hilarious. "Damn it, get the hell over here!" Jack yelled at a surprisingly fast snail that kept gitting away at him. Finally he took his knife and got the snail (he is the King of Halloween). "Got 'em!" He walked back to their table, proudly carrying his snails. "Slippery little devils they is." He looked over and saw Sally laughing "The great and terrifying Pumpkin King crawling on the floor for snails!" she finally struggled out between laughs. "Well, when you put it that way." Jack's white face was now a deep red from embaressment."Anyway," said Jack, waving a hand, "have you been thinking about the baby?" "I hope it looks like you, you're so handsome Jack." said Sally. "Really? I had hoped it looked like you. Do you think it will be a boy or girl?" Jack asked. Sally sighed. "I dunno. This all seems so complicated." Jack took her hand. "We'll get through this."they finished their dinners. Jack paid, while giving the waiter a mean look, (and when Jack Skellington gives you a mean look it's enough to make you jump out of your skin). They headed to Spiral End (the swirly hill in the movie). They went there every year, it was their special place. They stood on top of the hill and kissed for a while, then headed home. "Well, I guess we better get packing." Jack said as they went up the stairs to their room. jack reached and dragged out the dusty suitcases from the top of the bookcase(which was 10 feet tall). They both began packing their bags. Clothes, soap, all sorts of items. By the time they were both done, it was near midnight. "Better hit the hay." Jack said tiredly. "Hmm, yeah." Sally was asleep on her feet already. It had been an eventful day. They both climbed into bed. "Goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite." Jack said menacingly with his terrifying Halloween face. Sally did have to admit that if she didn't know Jack, he would not be a person she would like to meet in a dark alley. Jack could be terrifying, he had to be, it was his job. One thing Sally didn't like was that Jack was always trying new scares and thrills on her. It was a part of being the Pumpkin Queen she supposed. But she wouldn't give up being with jack for the world. "Goodnight Jack." But she got only a snore in reply. Rolling her eyes, she went to sleep.
Unknown to Sally, Jack was dreaming of his soon to become family. There was just so much to do before the baby came. They would need a nursery, clothes, hmmm what else? Jck really didn't know much about this whole baby business. I mean, sure he knew how to make a baby. Yes, he laughed to himself, I definately know how to make a baby. But I know nothing about how to take care of one, or what ir will look like, or if it will be a boy or girl, or if Sally will be okay. He felt as clueless as when he stumbled into Christmas Town. I hope we can do this. I've heard about pregnant women, the mood swings and all that. Jack began to wonder how Sally was taking all this. After all, she was the one who was pregnant, and she was the one who would have to go throught the operation, and the one who may die. He sat up in bed and looked at her. She looked so beautiful lying there in the moonlight. He then went off to sleep.
What am I going to do? Sally thought to herself as she lay in her bed. Even though she knew Jack was completely supporting, she felt alone in this. After all, Jack was not the one with his life on the line. She had been trying to be brave for Jack, but really she was more terrifyed than when Jakc pulled his scariest tricks. And that was pretty damn scary. she shuddered. And what would Jack do if she lost the baby? She knew Jack had always wanted kids. And Jack did seem like he could handle kids. What if he divorced her because he was so dissapointed? Sally was freaking out, and all because of that one night. Still, it was one great night. With that thought, she drifted off to sleep.
Oh my God that was a long chapter. I hope all you guys are enjoying this, because I suck at typing so it takes a long time to update. Please, Please review!!!!! I can't make it better if you don't review.
