At the vacant community center, Emily, Victor, Victoria, Harry's Girl, Random, Nausicaa, Wallace, Gromit, Lady Tottington, and Jack were working on a plan to ambush Barkis and his army.

"I think we should hide in the bushes and leave some bait out for some of his henchmen." Nausicaa said.

"Good idea, but what would the bait be?" Victor asked.

"How about rum?" Jack asked.

"You're just saying that because you like rum!" Harry's Girl replied.

"Guilty as charged, love." Jack replied.

"I happen to know for a fact that Butt-Face has a weakness for Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream." Emily declared. "When we first met, I saw that he was practically inhaling a bucket of the stuff."

"And that will help us, how?" Random asked.

"Well," Wallace said. "If one of his henchmen sees the bucket, he'll want to retrieve it back to him, and he'll end up falling into the trap."

"Then should we release our weapons?" Victoria asked.

"Yes," Lady Tottington said. "Give it all you got."

"We're done loading the weapons." Harry said. "It took us a while but we're done."

"Mr. Insensitive Rabbit Killer tried to eat one of the bombs but it ended up exploding in his face." Ron added, trying to stifle a laugh.

"Speaking of which," Hermione added. "He's coming out of his concussion right now."

"Oh, joy, oh, rapture." Nausicaa said sarcastically.

"Ow," Victor Q. said. "Why does it feel like I was run over by an eighteen wheeler truck?" Then he spotted one of the mountain goats that battered him up. "YOU!" he boomed as he pointed at the goat and took out his rifle. "YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT, YOU ALPINE QUADRAPED!" The goat bleated and ran off as Victor Q. chased after him.

"Run, Forrest, run!!!" (Reference to Forrest Gump) Harry's Girl cried after the goat. Everybody stared at her like a tree was growing out of her head. "What?" she asked. "It seemed like the appropriate moment…"

"We should prepare ourselves for battle." Harry said.

"Good idea," Emily said. "We should head to Wal-Mart to get some battle supplies."

They then walked to the center of commercialism and capitalism and bought some chain-mail, swords, armor, and maybe a mace or two. They went to the check out and there Emily spotted her love interest.

"Lemme guess," the cashier said. "Paper?"

"Yeah," Emily replied coolly. As she paid, she slipped the cashier her cell phone number. "Have a nice night."

They all walked back and put their equipment away until they were to use it.

"I saw that you were flirting with the cashier again," Harry's Girl said.

"I won't deny it this time," Emily said.

"You slipped him your cell phone number, this time, didn't you?" Hermione asked. Emily nodded.

Out of nowhere, there was a flash of blinding light, and the next second, Jack Skellington was standing there with a bewildered look on his face.

"Where am I?" He asked himself as he scratched his skull.

"OH MY GOD!" Harry's Girl, Random and Nausicaa exclaimed in unison. "IT'S JACK SKELLINGTON!" They ran up to him and hugged him.

"Uh… who are you?" Jack asked.

"I'm Harry's Girl!" Harry's Girl exclaimed.

"I'm Random!" Random said.

"I'm Nausicaa and those people are Jack Sparrow, Victor Van Dort, Wallace, Victoria Van Dort, Emily, Lady Tottington, Gromit, Hermione Granger, Victor Quartermaine, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter and you're in a vacant community center." Nausicaa added. "We're here because we're going to stop the evil Lord Barkis."

They then filled him in on the plan and he decided to join them on their quest to stop the evil butt-face.
