"Hey, Meghan, I have a question," Callie asked as we rocketed through the sky at amazing speed.
"Shoot," I replied.
"How'd you know where Oogie was?"
"I'm the author of this story. I know EVERYTHING," I said, waving my finger at her.
"No you don't," Jack said with a scowl.
"Oh yes I do," I corrected, glaring at him from the rear-veiw mirror.
"Fine. So where do we go next?" He asked.
"Uhhhh....Um...."
"Commander!" Luage's voice came in on the radio. "I've spotted enemy ships!"
"What?!" I yelled back. "Take them out!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Luage replied. I saw blasts fired out of the corner of my eye. A loud explosion sounded from the radio.
"No!" I heard Ultros yell. "Commander!!! We've lost Luage and Balnob!!"
"Damn!" I said, banging my fist on the dashboard. "Ultros, can you fly the ship?!"
"I-I think so!" He stuttered. "There's a huge hole in the front, though!"
"Just fly it!" I commanded.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Wait..." I said, confused. "Ultros, if there's a huge hole in the ship, how can you breathe?!"
"I don't know, ma'am!"

We all landed on the Big Scary Spaceship-Ball From Beyond the Stars safely, (Save for Luage and Balnob, who had been killed instantly in the enemy blast) however, we still had no idea where to go.
"Let's go... THAT WAY!" Ultros declared, pointing in 6 different directions. I smacked my forehead.
"HALT!!!" A guard yelled, sounding particularly annoyed. "Who goes there?!"
"Who the hell are YOU?" I asked him. He looked like some kind of Matrix nerd.
"I am Maximus Williams!" He replied dramatically. "Who are YOU?"
Dominikov stepped forward. "I am the grim reaper," He said in a deep, scary voice. "Maximus Williams, I have come for your soul."
To top it all off, he added an evil, maniacal laugh at the end.
"Wh-What is this...?!? AHHHHHH!!!" and Maximus Williams took off running.
"That is SO much fun," Dominikov chuckled to himself.
"Let's stop wasting time and GO," I said, rolling my eyes and walking through the door that Maximus Williams had carelessly left open.
When we got inside we all heard the unmistakable shrill laughter of the three evil children that worked for Oogie.
"Lock! Shock! Barrel!" Callie yelled dramatically. (Yes, there is a lot of dramatic yelling in this chapter.) "Why are you doing this?!"
"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Lock replied. "We're evil! It's what we do!"
"And there was nothing good on TV..." Barrel added, grumbling.
"Let's beat them up!" Shock giggled.
I may not have a black belt in karate or anything, but when it comes to my babysitting skills I am known as The Scary Babysitting Woman from Hell.

(Callie: Pffft. Yeah RIGHT! Me: DX SHUT UP!!!)

"JACK! GET ME THE SHOTGUN!" I exclaimed, causing the three of them to pause.
"Suuuure," Jack said, handing me the rifle.
"Bad kids should be punished," I said in my best evil voice, cocking the gun.
"Ummmm..." Barrel started to back up a little bit.
"WHO WANTS TO BE PUNISHED FIRST?!" I yelled at them, causing them to squeak and run away. It was actually pretty amusing to watch them crying and running into eachother, desperate to get away.
"Onward!" I declared, handing the gun back to Jack. And the Mafia marched on.

"If we don't make it out of here, it's Jack's fault," I whispered before we went in to fight Oogie.
"HEY!" Jack yelled angrily at me, but I slapped a hand over his mouth.
"Let's go!"
And so, the Mafia marched into the room.
"I could hear every word you were saying, you know," Oogie said when we walked in, exasperated.
"Yeah, I know."
"Well, I guess you came to kill me?"
"Yep."
"WELL I HAVE BACKUP!!!" Oogie retorted. "HEY, BACKUP!!! GET OVER HERE!!!"
"What do you want NOW?" Shiki asked, sounding irritated as he walked in, followed by Durham.
"Destroy this Mafia for me," Oogie ordered.
There was a long pause.
"You, know, I don't really like you anymore," Durham said. He pointed his gun at Oogie and pulled the trigger. There was a huge explosion and peices of Oogie flew everywhere.
Well, that was the end of that.

"I have to say, I really enjoyed being the leader of this Mafia!" I announced when we were back in Halloween Town. "But I have to go home now. Sorry."
There was a string of disappointed "Awww"s from the crowd.
"And I'm the Pumpkin King again!" Jack said happily.
"Hold on," Durham interrupted. "I was the one who beat Oogie. Doesn't that technically make me the Pumpkin King?"
"Wh-what?" Jack stammered. "But but but but-- That's not fair!!! I thought you were my friend!!!"
"What ever happened to 'I don't want to be the Pumpkin King anyway'?" Durham grumbled.
"WELL I CHANGED MY MIND!!!" Jack yelled at him.
"Okay, okay! Jeez. Talk about mood swings..."
"ARE YOU CALLING ME A GIRL?!?!?"
"Yes."
"...HEY!!!"
Callie and I both laughed. Well, it looked as though everything was back to normal. There was still the problem of finding out how to get home, though...

THE END...?
