Disclaimer- I don't own the Nightmare Before Christmas. Someone else does.
A/N- Half of me likes Lock. The other half likes Barrel. I mean, Barrel's cute, chubby, and small. Lock is tall, dark and devilishly handsome. If only, if only, I knew which one I like more.
Chapter 3 Inquiring of Jack
The autumn breeze blew against my exposed skin as I made the journey to Jack's House. I bet he knew where Collegetown was. Then I came to his house. Most people know it's really rude to interrupt a king, but this time, I had something special to tell him. I swallowed hard and knocked.
"Come in, Come in, Mr. Hellebore!" Jack said. "I've been expecting you!"
If this was a Japanese comic book, I'd be having a series of black dots over my head. I opened the door and walked in.
"No need to tell me what you want!" Jack said. He sat on the couch, next to Sally, his new wife and queen of Halloweentown. "Sally told me that you were coming!"
"So where is this Collegetown?" I asked. "My girlfriend, Shock, is there. She sent me a letter saying that her college is accepting visitors next weekend."
"Hmm," Jack said. He walked over to a really big book and thumbed through it. "A-ha! Here it is! The door to Collegetown looks like..." He grabbed a pair of scissors and cut out the picture. He then walked toward me and handed the picture to me.
I glanced at it. It looked like a jacket. I shoved it in my coat pocket and proceeded to go outside, but after giving a bow and saying, "Thanks, Your Majesty!"
I walked toward my house, hoping Barrel didn't burn the place down or something even worse. Sure enough, the house was still standing. I opened the door, and announced, "I'm BAAAAAAAAACK!"
