I know I said it was Sam's chapter but its Lizzie and Charlie's story, K.
I also believe that each door enters a world not just one town or city.
Chapter 8
At the Skellington's House
Lizzie and Sam were walking to the library after detention, to work on the project about Christmas Land. It's a week after Lizzie's first day of school and she was finish all her tutoring form Sam. Now all that's left is the Holidays project. During the last week Lizzie did spend a lot of time with Sam and she started too really like him. Sam just didn't hate her as much but still didn't consider her a friend yet. When they enter the library no one was there, weird, there was at least someone was reading a book. Well no matter they went to the books on Christmas. Those books were not research book, here the list of the Books:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! By Dr. Seuss.
Rudolf the Red Noise Reindeer
A Christmas Carol
Winnie the Pooh (the most surprising to Lizzie)
Disney's Christmas (A/N those books doesn't include the Nightmare Before Christmas!)
The Night Before Christmas
How Jack discover Christmas (A.K.A The Nightmare Before Christmas.)
The big book of Christmas Carols
Frosty the snowman
Santa Claus
Other Christmas classic
"What this book about?" Lizzie said look at the book about the movie Nightmare Before Christmas.
"My dad, it talks about how he wanders in the hinterland and found a circle of tree or the portals to the other holidays. Than he stole Christmas and then Sandy saved it. After my dad saved him for Oogie Boogie, he was going to kill Sandy and my mom. Well because of that moment all the seven holidays got to know about the other holidays. We don't need it we can talk to Jack," explained Sam.
"You know there is more than seven holidays for the humans. Like New years, Remembers Day (Canada)/Memorial Day (U.S.A), Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Grand Parents Day, Children Day, Boxing Day, Hanukkah, April fools Day and for us in Canada there's Canada day. Canada day is my Independence Day. Then all the other religions have there holiday. They are also different kinds of holiday, like religious and Civil. Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick Day some what and St. Valentines Day are religious and Independence Day and Thanksgiving are Civil. But Halloween I'm not sure yet, I believe it's civil but it can also be religious" Lizzie blurted.
"Wow, for someone you as amnesia for three weeks you know a lot on humans. Us in Canada, what does that mean?" Sam asked.
"Oh, well I'm… umm… well when I said that I meant for the Canadians and I've been reading about Canada lately," Lizzie lied.
"What ever Charlie, now let's pick some books," said Sam.
They grab all the books but How Jack discover Christmas one. They each took haft of books. Then Sam went back home, when Lizzie went to the Tree house. Sam got back home. When Sally was pregnant with Sam they moved to a bigger house in the country. It was a much bigger house; it was a three story, black mansion. It had eight bedrooms, a tower for Jack, five bathrooms, a parlor, a study for the children, a kitchen, dinning room and one huge basement for all of Sam's experiments. But the best thing of all was the view of the graveyard. Sam walked in form the front door to see Sally cooking diner and Jason (Jay) writing a novel in the study. Sam flopped the books on a table in the study.
"Hey Jay where is everyone?" Sam asked his younger bother. Jason Skellington was a Jack clone but with one big difference, his height. The rest of the Skellington children have Jack's height but Jason.
"James is on a date with this girl named Casey, he won't be back soon. Sarah is out with her friends be back at eight. Simon is at Victor Ghostliness' (A/N Victor is a ghost and Simon's Best friend) house for something I think, he's having a sleepover. Jill is in her room, I think she's doing homework? Dad is in a meeting and will back late. Mom is cooking dinner," said Jason.
"Normal day, but isn't Victor usually here," Sam said.
"Is that books! Mom and dad said you can't read for a month! MOM! SAM IS READING!" yelled Jason like the annoying little nine year old bother he is.
"Samuel Skellington come here!" yelled Sally. Sam went to the kitchen. "What did we says about reading," Sally said in a motherly voice.
"No reading for fun. But I have a project about Christmas I have to do and I have to do research. I'm not reading for fun" Sam said as if he was a lawyer.
"Let me see the books," Sally said. Sam went to get the books. "A Christmas Carol, Winnie the Pooh, The Night before Christmas and Rudolf the red noise reindeer. It seems fine, but do your other homework."
"I finished it in detention," he said.
"Did you finish tutoring?" she asked.
"Yes, Charlotte is a very fast learner and very intelligent girl," he said.
"Fine but dinner is almost ready, go tell Jill and Jason to come down."
"Yes mother," he said. First he went to the study. "Jay mom wants you for diner."
"But Amelia just found her true feelings for William," said Jason.
"Mom said it's dinner time. I'll be the first read it and please don't make an epilogue, or at least make a smaller, five pages! " Sam said.
"Fine," he said angrily. Jason left the typewriter and went to dinner, when Sam went to Jill's room.
"Hey Jill, time for dinner," Sam said to a Skeleton girl. Jill Skellington looked much like Jack, she was tall, had a skull with long red hair, her chest was rag doll but every thing else was skeleton.
"But Amelia about to kill William," Jill lamented. She was watching her favorite movie Death Wish (A/N not a real movie I think?)
"Ironic, very ironic," said Sam. Jill pauses the movie.
"You know I don't like pausing a movie," Jill said angrily.
"Oh shut up," Sam said. They went down to the kitchen. Sally had the dinner on the table when they arrived. They sat at the table and began to eat they food if you can call it food.
"Does anyone know what happen to the microwave?" asked Sally.
'Oh no she on to me,' Sam thought. Sam was using the microwave as a portable T.V with VCR, DVD, and game system with a touch screen. And Halloween world doesn't have computers. He stuffed his mouth with food.
"Mom I don't know," said Jill.
"We had a microwave?" said Jason.
"Yes we had a microwave before it disappeared on me. Sammy did you have anything to do with it?" asked Sally. Sam quickly nodded his head to say no.
"Really?" questioned Jill "Because I saw you with a microwave going to the basement"
"Yeah right it was probably James just trying to get me in trouble" he said in a weird voice. At that moment Jack walked in form the front door.
"Sam did you take the microwave?" asked Jack.
"I did not take the microwave if I did it wouldn't work as a microwave anymore, by now. Anyways what is the use of a microwave for me," Sam lied.
"Jack your dinner is ready," said Sally petting Skelly. Skelly is a skeleton dog that Sam created. Zero was outside playing with a stick.
"Thanks Sal," Jack said. He went to get his dinner. "Sam don't lie about the microwave. You can surly think something."
"Jill can you get the microwave in your room. All are microwaves are disappearing.
Why is that Sammy," said Sally. Jill went to get the new microwave.
"Jill had a microwave in her room!" said Sam.
"Don't steal this microwave for your portable T.V with VCR, DVD, and game system with touch screen. You don't think I know your password 123 and I have some of your hair, a copy of five of your key, and I recorded your voice," Jason said. Sam had his mouth wide open.
"Jason don't go in your bother's secret lab. And your making microwave into what?" said Jack. Jill waked in.
"I'm making a portable T.V with VCR, DVD, and game system and touch screen. But it broke so I need a new microwave. Maybe you broke it Jason. It will shut up James and Jill when going to grand ma's house," said Sam.
"You're spending too much time with the Doctor," said Sally not understanding what her son was making out of the microwave.
"Wow can I use that for my science project?" asked Jill.
"No it's not finish and it broke, Jason. So I need a new microwave," said Sam.
"So you did steal the microwave," said Jack.
"For science and I'm not breaking any laws, because the law of stealing says nothing about taking anything form your own house, it belongs to everyone who lives here," Sam said.
"Oh! Burn," said Jason.
"Jason go to your room," said Sally. Jason went to the study to finish his novel.
"If you want to use a microwave you have to buy it with your own money," said Jack eating his food. Just then the phone rang. Sam went to answer it.
"Hello Sam Skellington speaking."
"Hey Sammy," said James on the other end.
"James what do you need," said Sam.
"Sammy tell mom and dad I'll be home at 1. And I met up with Sarah; she says can you ask if she come home an hour later?" James told his brother.
"Mom, Dad James will be home at 1 and can Sarah stay out tills 9," Sam asked Jack and Sally.
"No, Sarah will return home at 8 and James can stay instills 11," said Jack.
"No and No, tell Sarah she has to come home at 8. What ever you're going to do is going to have to be cut short, 11 o'clock. It is possible to come home at 11," Sam told James.
"Can you tell them Sarah will be home at 8 but come on asked please for me Sammy boy," asked James.
"I'm in enough trouble k, I toke the microwave for an invention and they're mad," said Sam.
"What's the invention? And we had a microwave?"
"Be back at 10 and I'll tell you James. And yes we had a microwave you use it two days ao," said Sam then hung up the phone. But then the phone rang again.
"James no, you have to come at 10 to find out what it is," lamented Sam.
"What? I'm not James. Is Sam there?" said a female voice.
"Speaking," he said.
"It's Charlie," said Lizzie.
"Oh sorry about that, James just called and what ever. How did you get this number?" he asked her.
"It is one of the first numbers in the phone book. But it's about the project," said Lizzie.
"What?"
"These book doesn't give us enough info for are project, we need something else to help us," Lizzie said sadly.
"Oh, I have an idea. Have you ever gone to Christmas Town?" he asked.
"Christmas Town?" she asked.
"Tomorrow at 11 am we're going to Christmas Town," he said.
"Fine see you then," Lizzie said.
"Bye." Sam hung the phone for the second time than the phone rang again.
"James is that you?" Sam asked.
"Hallo Samuel its mayor Erik can you put your farther on the phone."
"Dad it's the Mayor on the phone," Sam told his father. Jack toke the phone then Sam helped his mother with the dish. After he read the Christmas books before him and Lizzie was going to Christmas Town.
So that's life at the Skellington, very normal. Well the next chapter is a small Charlie chapter. Just to see what she's been doing with Brad.
I like this chapter, it really makes you understand Sam or know him better. Well REVIEW!
