Me: Hey, hey, guys. Here's the first chapter to the Halloween Town Adventure.
Jack: How was Christmas and your birthday, Emilie?
Sally: What did you get?
Me: Christmas and my birthday was fun. For my birthday, I got two Jack Skellington hats, one from the store and another from my cousin. I also got Jack Skellington headphones and new socks from my parents. Then I got an iTunes and Hot Topic Gift card from my aunt in Texas. Then on Christmas, I got the movie, Child's Play, on DVD, the Nightmare Before Christmas Trivial Pursuit game, new shirts and a new robe. I'll tell you more later. Here's the story. Enjoy.
Jack and his grandfather were getting pumpkins out of the trees, with Jack's grandfather pulling down the tree with his arm.
"Nice trick, grandpa," Jack said.
"It's not a trick, young Jack," the old skeleton said. "All skeletons can do it."
"Neat. Let me try," Jack said. So Jack went to a small pumpkin tree about two inches taller than Jack. Jack tried to do what his grandfather did, but his attempt went awry and Jack was almost hit by guisors. But Jack's grandfather saved him in time.
"Guess I'm too little, huh, grandpa?" Jack said.
"Well, only grown skeletons can do it," Jack's grandfather said.
"Aw, I hate being little," Jack pouted.
"Don't worry. You will grow up soon enough," grandpa skeleton said. With Alice and George, they were looking around for children while Jack and his friends were out playing. So the gang threw rocks down a hill while Alice and George looked at a bunch of bundles of children. But Alice was hit by a rock one of the kids up the hill threw. When Alice saw it, she threw it and it hit George's head, knocking him out.
"Hey, you kids!" a grown corpse's voice said. "Stop throwing those rocks down the hill! My nest is in there!"
"Sorry," Jack said.
"Aw, it was no fun anyway," Myra said.
"What should we do now?" Bling asked.
"I know! We can go to the dried up grass," Sally said. "And play Devil Attack! Grrrrrrr!" Everyone laughed except Myra, who refused to be the devil again. So Sally and Bling asked Mike to do it, which he agreed. So the gang went to the dried up grass fields when Jack realized something.
"Wait, you guys! The dried up grass is on the other side of the pumpkin swamp," Jack said.
"So?" Myra asked.
"Well, my grandparents told me not to come to the pumpkin swamp," Jack said.
"You're such a wimp, Jack," Myra said. "I can go through the swamp with my eyes closed."
"With her eyes closed?" Bling asked.
"Without looking where she's going?" Sally asked. So Mike crouched and covered his face in fear. Then Bling decided to try and do what Myra was doing and Sally and Mike joined in. Then Jack reluctantly joined, too. When the gang reach the pumpkin swamp, they saw it was hard to get to the dried up grass. Bling suggested to fly but Sally said no one else can fly.
"My mom can jump rock to rock," Myra said.
"Yeah. But your mom has longer legs than us," Jack said.
"No problem. I can do it, too. Watch," Myra said. So she backed up and she jumped, reaching a rock up ahead. But Myra fell into the quicksand. So Jack, Sally, Bling and Mike tried to pull Myra out. But after so much pulling, the kids got pulled in, too. Their families heard their screaming and went to save the kids. The kids got pulled in but grandpa skeleton pulled the kids out. When the kids got out, they saw that their families were mad at them.
"Uh oh," Jack said.
Me: Good god, Jack and his friends are in trouble. And I just said a Korn song, the song "Good God", it has the "f" word in it.
Jack: Yeah, I heard. Anyway, how was your trip to your grandma's house?
Sally: What did she get you?
Me: My trip was fun. We had ham for dinner when we got there. Grandma gave me a TNBC bobble head of Jack and Sally, a shirt with Jack's facial expressions, the first Land Before Time movie on DVD, Mario Party Island Tour and two cut-out posters of Jack and Sally. Anyway, don't forget to review.
