Hey guys!! Thanks for the reviews!! I would like to dedicate this chapter to my little brother; Jake Skellington is based off him. And he gives me tons of inspiration. Rock on little bro!

"So lets make this our most horrible Halloween yet!!" Jack concluded. He gave a nod to the witches, who opened the portal to the Human World.
'Note to self: crawling down a drainpipe with a cape on is difficult'. Jake noted to himself. He was now in stage 2 of his plan, the walk through the graveyard. Currently, it was deserted except for Jake himself. Or so he thought.

"Hey Jake!" a shy voice called. Jake turned to see Suzy. He smiled, relieved it was Suzy and not his parents. "Hey Suzy." he said.

"I didn't see you in school today." Suzy said, a bit puzzled. Jake laughed. "Thats exactly why I'm walking in this graveyard instead of in the Human World tonight." Jake said nonchalantely.

Suzy frowned. "You mean, you skipped?" she questioned. Jake shrugged. "Yes..." he said quietly. Then he brightened. "But, and this is important Suzy, you must not tell anyone of our meeting here." he said gravely.

Suzy frowned again. "Why?" she asked. Jake looked around. "Well, technically I'm not supposed to be out..." he said quietly. Well, Suzy could understand that. She nodded. Jake grinned.

"I'll see you tomorrow Suzy!" he called, and went on his way.

Sally sighed. She hated punishing either of her childeren. Perhaps the reason Jake was such a con artist was because of both her and Jack's hatred of disapline. She pulled a tray of cookies out of the oven. Sally sighed again, for the cookies were Jake's favorite.

"Samantha, why don't you tell Jake he can come down for some cookies?" she relented.

"Sure Mom." Sam said, getting off her chair and heading upstairs.

"Jake!! Mom says you can come have some cookies!" she called from outside the door.

No answer.

Sam frowned, then opened the door and went inside. "Cookies Jake!" she called again, in case he didn't hear her.

Again, silence.

Now this was peculiar. Sam went over to the bed. She lifted the covers, only to find a wad of sheets made to look as if Jake was sleeping. She heard a loud snoring noise. Inside the wad was a tape recorder, playing a tape of snoring.

"Jake, you are so retarded..." Sam muttered.

To Jake's relief, the majority had already went throught the portal. The sqare was devoid of life (or death) except him.

Jake grinned. Too easy. Glancing over his shoulder, he ducked through the portal.

"Ummmm, Jake doesn't want any cookies." Sam lied. Sally tilted her head.

"He doesn't want food? This is Jake we're talking about right?" Sam gulped, and nodded.

Sally frowned. "I'll go up and talk to him." she said, getting up. Sam's eyes widened.

"No no no...he's probably asleep!" She thought quickly. Sam and Jake were twins, and as such they helped each other out. Sally laughed. "Jake? Sleep? Of his own free will?" she joked, then headed upstairs.
