Okay, thanks to XxSweetNightmarexX and Musically, I am doing this fast update. That, and I really enjoyed writing this chapter. ( oh, and XxSweetNightmarexX, what do you think happened 'last time'? lol.) Enjoy!!!

Jack heard a voice whispering his name. He could feel Sally in his arms, and she was asleep, so Jack slowly opened an eye socket. Jake was standing over him. Jack frowned and looked at the clock. It was ten in the morning.

"How'd you get in here? The door was locked." he asked groggily. "I picked it. Anyway, did mom say yes?" Jake asked quickly. Jack looked down at Sally, peacfully sleeping in his arms. He smiled. "Yes, I talked her into it." then he frowned. "Jake, I'm still sleepy. Leave me and your mother be." Jake scowled.

"Its ten o'clock! Did you stay up late or something?" he asked impatiently. Jack chuckled, remembering last night. "I guess you could say I was up all night. In any case, your mother and I are tired." he shooed Jake away with a wave of his hand. Jake reluctantly left.

Jack sighed. He had a decision to make. He could stay here and sleep a little bit longer with Sally, and then the mayor would wake them both up, or he could get up and let Sally sleep. It was a tough choice, but reluctantly Jack got up. Unfortunately, Sally, from all her years at the doctors, was a light sleeper and awoke.

"Oh, sorry Sally. I wanted to let you rest. Why don't you go back to sleep? I better take care of the mayor before he comes and wakes up the entire town." said Jack, kissing Sally on the forehead. She sighed. "I better get up before Jake tries to make his own breakfast. He'd probably burn down the kitchen." Jack smiled sheepishly. "That was one time." he mumbled. "Like father like son." she said, getting up. Sally was much better at waking up in the moring than Jack, as at the doctor's she would get yelled at for wking late, or taking too long. Jack could hardly function before his daily cup of coffee in the morning.

Sally yawned as she began brushing her hair. She watched as Jack struggled with hhis bowtie, quietly cursing. After a minute or two of watching him struggle, she walked over to help. Jack grinned as Sally patienly fixed his bowtie. The tender moment was broken however, when the mayor's voice rang out.

"What do you mean hes asleep?!! Show me to your father right now Jake Skellington!! We have important Halloween plans to discuss, now that they're not all covered with ink..." Sally arched her eyebrow. "Ink?" she questioned with a sly smile. Jack shook his head. "Don't ask. Wish me luck." Sally gave him a kiss, and he hurried downstairs before Jake and the mayor started throwing fists.

"Alright, alright, I'm here." Jack said, breaking the rage building in the room. The mayor looked relieved, as Jack doubted that the mayor could take on an enraged Skellington of any kind.

"Ah Jack! There are only three days left until Halloween! We have last minutes touches to make!" the mayor said, grabbing Jack's hand and dragging him off. Jack gave his childeren a sorry look, and was off.

"I'm hungry!" Jake whined. His mother was usually the first one up in the morning, and had breakfast on the table by the time the rest were downstairs. Sam rolled her eyes. "Mom'll be down soon. If you're so hungry why don't you find something in the fridge like Dad does?" Sam turned back to the book she was reading. Jake made a face. "Who reads on Saturday?" he said, making fun of Sam.

Jake was not the best at school, as his short attention span and hatred of staying still. (sound familar? xd) Sam was school smart, and always got As, while Jake pulled Bs in most subjects, except for scaring. No one could deny that Jake had a gift for the terrifying.

Groaning, he went to the outdated fridge and picked a spider off some pile of food. He found some leftovers from last night and took them out. "Hey Sam... how do you make it warm and like, soft?" "Do you mean how do you cook it?" "Yeah." Sam sighed, put down her book, and went to help her brother.
