Thanks to Musically and XxSweetNightmarexX for the awesome reviews. Keep em' coming guys! Here's what happens when you put Jake and Sam in a kitchen.

When Sally came downstairs, she smelled smoke. In this house, that was something to worry about. She rushed into the kitchen to see Jake pulling what seemed to be a flaming buzzard out of the oven. Sally's eyes widened. Acting on pure motherly instinct, she rushed over, pulled the leftovers from Jake's hands, and threw it into the sink, which she then filled with water. When she was sure the fire was extinguished, she turened to her children, who seemed to be wrestling on the floor arguing about whose fault it was. Sally sighed. Nothing could ever be simple. She pulled her children off each other.

"What is going on?" she asked, with as much patience as she could muster. The twins shut up. Their mother raised her voice, and she never did that. But, then again, Sally also didnt' like fire, due to the fact she was made up of highly flamable materials.

"Well?"

Sam pointed at her brother. "Ask him." Sally turned to her son. 'figures.' she thought. "Jake Skellinton, what have you done?" she asked in a very motherly tone. "Well, I was hungry, and you weren't up yet, so I was going to have some leftovers. But, I didn't cook them right, so when I pulled it out of the oven, it was on fire, and that's when you came in." Jake explained, glaring at his sister. He pointed at her. "But, Sam told me how to cook it." Now Sally turned to her daughter.

"Its not my fault! Jake just couldn't wait for 15 minutes at 150 degrees, so he pumped it up to 700 degrees for 2 minutes." Sam glared at her brother. Sally threw up her hands.

"Alright, alright. Jake, I'll go make breakfast. You two stay away from each other. I'll call you when breakfast is ready." Sally resolved. The twins filed out, muttering to each other.

Sally shook her head. Sometimes she wondered if the world was big enough for three Skellingtons.

After a breakfast of rotten eggs and moldy pancakes, Sally, Sam and Jake went into town to do Halloween work. They didn't even get to say hello to Jack as he was bombarded by citizens. He shot them a pityful look. Sally began working on the terrifying outfits for the towns people of HalloweenTown, while Sam was making candy. Jake quickly got bored of these repetetive tasks.

"Why don't you go help your father?" Sally suggested with a smile. Jake grinned at this, eager to be rid of these boring jobs. To locate Jack wasn't hard. He simply followed the crowd, literally. Finally Jack had enough.

"QUIET!!!" he yelled. Everyone shut up. When Jack Skellington spoke, everyone listened. Jack's voice returned to its usual candor.

"Now, well everyone return to their stations, and I personally will come to each and everyone of you." the citizens departed, leaving only Jack, the mayor, and Jake left in the town square. Jack turned to his son.

"Jake? What is it? Does Sally need help with something?" he asked, in a trying to be patient voice, but Jake could tell he was quite stressed. Jake shifted his weight uneasily. "No, mom doesn't need help. She told me to help you." he said quietyl. Jake often lost his usual confidence around his father. Jack smiled. "Alright then, you can help." Jake followed as Jack started towards the stations.

I know that it was a shorter chapter, but I had to cut it off for next chapter. I'm on an updating roll! Anyway, please REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW...!!!!!
