Disclaimer- I don't own the Nightmare before Christmas. Some one else, who isn't a teenage girl from Pennsylvania, owns it. Carol is my personal Character. Hey, someone needed to keep Barrel company.
Chapter 6 The inevitable reunion
Shock's POV- Still
I gasped. Lock is here? Right now? I quickly rushed to the mirror to make sure I looked decent for the INEVITABLE REUNION. Of course, I'm not sure if I look okay enough, but I'm willing to risk it.
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I finally made it.
Oh, crud! Barrel's here! I hate that little butterball skeleton creature. And who the H-E-C-K was that blonde chick beside him?
"Uhh, Hi, Shock!" Lock said timidly.
Lock's POV
Ahh, there she was. My beloved. The one who I want to spend my life with. She walked over to Barrel, Carol, and myself. "Lock, tell me who's that girl that Barrel is with!"
"Her name's Carol, and she's Barrel's girlfriend," I explained.
"Oh, didn't know Barrel had a girlfriend," Shock sighed.
I trembled. One hand was behind my back, clutching a small box.
A/N- Foreshadowing. Yes, I'm foreshadowing. Give you a clue. It involves the four words every woman wants to hear.
Barrel tapped me on the shoulder. "Uhh, Lock…" he whispered something in my ear.
"Oh, yeah, that!" I told him. I turned my attention to Shock. "Uhh… I was wondering…"
"Tell her! Tell her!" Barrel whispered.
I suddenly fell down on one knee. "Shock, since the eighth grade I had a crush on you. I want you to know that I love you. So, Shock, I want to ask you a question…
A/N- If you guessed he was gonna propose, you're right.
"…Will you marry me?"
A/N- This is the third time I interrupted this fic, but I hafta end this chapter here. Next one, Shock's response.
