Christmas

Sorry it took so long, I wanted this chapter out at Christmas, but well that's pass.

Chapter 13 Christmas eve

It was December 24th and Halloween Land was so jolly. Yet it was a Saturday and every Saturday Sam had to see Dr. Gabriel, the shrink. He was diagnosis with depression a year ago, mainly because of his grandmother Lucy Skellington who hated him more then she hated his mother. He was in his pale orange and pale brown office; Dr. Gabriel was a big fan of the psychology of colors, so he's office is natural. The Doctor was the only person that Sam felt he could talk to. The Doctor was a wolf man.

"Sam what is the problem with you this week," he asked while he sat in a pale brown chair.

"There this girl and I fell something I never felt before," Sam said. "I've been looking in all the books I can't find nothing that can explain this chemical reaction. I can't explain it scientifically. I've done so many tests but nothing!"

"Because you're not using the right organ to explain. Use your heart and stop using your head," the doctor explained.

"What? Not use my brain! That's impossible all comes from the brain! The brain controls everything! Even emotions!"

"Emotion," he said calmly.

"Emotion?" he asked.

"Don't be scare that you have a emotion. As my heart race, as I saw her face," the doctor said. That what Sam liked of Dr Gabriel he mad him think.

'Use my heart?' thought Sam. 'as my heart race, as I saw her face?" Then he got it. "I don't have feelings for Charlotte Raven!" he yelled.

"Do you always think of her?" he asked.

"Yeah but…"

"Are you happier when she's there?"

"Yeah but…"

"Does your heart race when someone says her name?"

"Yeah but…"

"Do you dream of her?"

"Yeah but…"

"Yeah but what?"

"She's been one of the many people who made me depress."

"Love is weird. What do you like of her?"

"She is smart, talented. When we worked on the project together she was nice to me. She is horrible, but she's Charlie Raven," he complained. "Well she did change ever seen she got hit on the head."

"Maybe because of that she has change," The doctor said.

"Ok I told my brother I had a crush on this girl, but I only said that so he wouldn't hook me up with a girl."

"Maybe you do like her," the doctor said.

"Maybe I do," he wondered out loud.

The rest of the appointment was normal. Sam ran home. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve and all of Halloween world was joyful. The most joyful was Jack, the Skellington family went crazy, because it was the day Sam's parent confessed they love for one and other, and the anniversary of they first kiss. Sam came in from the basement door. It was a replica of the doctor's lab, well he built it with him. Instead of just saying there and experiment, he went upstairs. He went in the kitchen. There was Sally baking like crazy, helping her was Simon and James was trying to get the car keys away from Jill.

"Sam!" yelled Sally.

"Hi, mom," he said weirdly.

"SO, how was the shrink Sammy Boy," said James still trying to get the car keys but Jill wasn't backing down.

"It's was good," he said grabbing a Christmas tree cookie that was cooling off.

"When are you going to stop seeing him. You're not depressed. You haven't tried suicide again. You're good, Sammy," James said.

"Yes, well when I'm ready," he said normally.

"James," said Simon.

"What now!" he yelled.

"Mom's here. Remember we don't talk about suicide and Sam together. He all most died. And for that no car keys," Jill said running out of the room.

"Come on!" he complained.

"That's what you get," Sam getting a glass of milk. "Mom do we have any milk?"

"Sorry honey I'm baking," Sally said.

"Sammy, do you have something I can use as a car?" James asked.

"Why?"

"Because."

"To see a girl."

"No," James lied.

"James you are staying home!" Sally yelled.

"Yes, mother," James said a little surprise.

"I'll go get some milk," Sam said.

"I'll go to," James said quickly after.

"Sam I'll give a list, and James you better stay with Sam. You two need to do more stuff together," Sally told them.

She wrote a list and gave it to Sam. They walked out. The streets were very busy at this time. Most of the people are just leaving work and are going to see they family for the Christmas break.

"What is mom saying that we need to spend more time together?" complained James.

"Well we don't spend time together. I'm always in the basement or in my room and you are god knows where doing god knows what with god knows who. She just what's use to be more like brother and not fight as much," Sam explained.

"Well it's not as bad as before! I protect you and not help with the hurting you. Well anyways I don't need that talk again. Last week you had a date."

"Well, stupid little boy, that witch thought she was dating you," Sam said annoyed.

"Well it was going fine until Charlotte Raven came in the picture," James said noggin him. Sam blushed at her name.

"What?"

"You like her. I might be dumb but I can tell when my little brother is in love," He give Sam a Knuckle sandwich. Sam pushed him away.

"Shut up, we're here to get food and not talk about Charlie," Sam said embraced.

"What I don't understand is why you like her? She's a bitch," James wondered.

"She's haft wolf. And something happen. I can't explain it? But she's a witch," Sam said smiled and Sam knew James loved witches.

"A hot witch. I love witches. Everyone loves vamps, the whit skin, the red lips, the hair. Anyways witches are my thing. The power that they have and Charlotte is one of the most powerful of them all. This is a good combination haft witch haft vamp. Oh god" James said in a loving voice.

"We have kissed," Sam blurted.

"What!!" James said surprise.

"Mistletoe, in front of Santa," Sam said.

"OH my god, you are crazy," James said still surprise.

"I know," Sam said. "Well we should get the milk. I need milk."

They went bought all this food and just talked. It was the first time they talked this much. It was the first time they were brothers. Sally was so proud that they spent the rest of the day together. Sarah called it weird. Jack said this will never happen again and the rest just was in shock.

Well with Lizzie everything was different. Mr. Raven went to the bar and Polly was gone at a witch thing. Lizzie was home alone. The Ravens didn't do any for Christmas. NOT even a Christmas tree!! Lizzie never had a Christmas without a tree. Lizzie knew why Charlie wanted to switch places, terrible family. Never does anything together, Lizzie was always with Lock, Shock and Barrel. But today they were gone to see Oogie Boogie's Family in Pumpkin Ville. She was bored as hell. So decide to go to the cemetery. It was more Christmassy the Raven's house.

Back with Sam and James. From James room you had the best view of the cemetery.

"Mom must be happy," said James.

"Yeah, lets prove Sarah wrong. We need to do this another day," Sam said drinking eggnog.

"Yeah some other day," James said. He looked the widow. He saw a girl on spiral hill. She looked lonely, like she needed someone with her. "You would never guess who's on spiral hill," James said smiling.

"Who Sarah," Sam said. "Is she making out with a guy?" Sam took another drink of eggnog.

"No, this girl is by herself. She looks lonely. Maybe someone should go see her," James said calmly.

"Yeah you can leave and warm her up," Sam said thinking that James was talking about just some girl, he thought looked cute.

"No, you should," he said.

"What!" Sam ran to the window. He saw her sitting there alone.

"Your chance," said James.

"I can't go there. She'll probably leave when she sees me," Sam said a little timed.

"Or maybe not. Maybe you'll find out if she likes you. I don't how anyone can like you," James said meanly.

"Good confidence buster," Sam said.

"You are going and that's final," James said with an evil look in his eye.

Couples of minutes later Sam and James were at the gates of the cemetery. Sam was chicken out and James pushed him though the doors of the gate. This surprise Lizzie and she was about to teleport away but saw who it was and she sat on the hill. Sam got up and tried to walk away before James pushed him again.

"Hello," Lizzie yelled.

"Hi," said Sam nervously. He got up again. James was ready to push him again. "Go you can watch from your bedroom."

"You'll runaway," James whispered.

"After I walk up the hill," he whispered back. Sam walked to Lizzie and James went running to the house.

"Hi, I'm bored," Lizzie said. Sam sat down.

"It's Christmas," he said a little surprise. He was never bored at Christmas, they're always something to do at Christmas.

"Yeah but Polly and Harry are never home. Lock and Shock are in Pumpkin Ville so there's nothing to do," she said.

"I have never met someone who called they parent by they first names," Sam said.

"Oh," she released what she did. "Some days are different."

"Do you like Christmas?" Sam asked.

"I love it," she answered.

"Me too. It was the only time of the year people were nice to me," he said.

"It just makes me fells so happy. I love singing Christmas carols and reading Christmas books," she said remember her last Christmas.

"What's your favorite book? Mine's the Grinch," he said.

"No shit mine too!" she yelled.

"Really! We something in coming," he said.

"I love the one line 'Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store, maybe just maybe it means a little bit more'. Pure genies. What a genies Dr. Seuss was. As a little girl I would read the book over and over again," she laughed.

"That was the second book I read all by myself. The first was Hop on Pop," Sam said.

"I remember that," she smiled. She looked in his eyes and moved her head.

"20 years ago my parents were on this stop and sang a song that they reviled they fillings for one and other. They had they first kiss here on Christmas Eve. They wedding was here. I always loved this place. There's a connection," Sam said out loud.

"20 years ago?" she asked.

"20 years to this very day," Sam said. " My dearest friend if you don't mind. I like to join you by your side. Where we can graze in to the stars. Now and forever. As everyone can see we're simply might to be. " he sang. All of the Skellington family had a good voice and Sam was no exception.

"Wow," Lizzie said and she moved closer.

"They sing that song every Christmas and every anniversary," Sam said.

"They love each other," Lizzie released.

"Because of them I believe in true love. Everyone as a true love," Sam said.

"A man of science believes that," she said like she didn't believe him.

"It's weird but yes," he said looking in her eyes. "Charlie can I ask you something?"

Lizzie forgot for a second he was talking to her. "Charlie?"

"Oh… yes," she laughed.

"I know I'm the least poplar and loved Skellington. I'm the biggest nerd. I have no friends, but my books and lab and Skelly. I'm getting a 98.1 avenge in school. I suck in has a scarer. But I like you. I never dream in a million years I would fell this way about you, but I do. So would you like to be my girlfriend?" Sam asked.

Lizzie was frozen. This was the first time a guy asked her out and a guy she liked too. Her heart jumped out of her chest. She smiled and hugged him. Sam was a little surprise he thought she was going to rejected him, but the hugged said something else. They were both so happy.

"Yes," she cried. "I like you too."

"Really?" he questioned.

"Yes," she nodded.

"Really," he said happily.

"Yes I've like you seen a month now, maybe a little longer," she said.

"Wow, I can't believe this," he said. "You made my month or year. I never thought someone would like me?"

"There is a first time for every thing."

"Thank you James," he said.

"What? James? As in your brother," Lizzie asked.

"With out him I would never got her. Him that was pushing me," Sam laughed.

Lizzie laughed. Sam slid a bit closer. Liz just giggled like a little schoolgirl. The full moon shined brightly on them. Lizzie looked into Sam's dark green eyes, he looked into her pale green eyes. Sam moved his head a little closer to hers. She moved her head a little closer. They lips were almost touching when…

"Sammy boy it's time to go. Mom and Dad is looking for you and I told them you were in your lab so hurry we have to run!" James yelled from the gates of the cemetery.

Lizzie quickly moved her head and blushed. Sam was a pissed. "Come," he said to Lizzie. Lizzie looked confused. "Charlie come and see my lab. Just ignored James. I'm guessing you don't have anything else to do."

"I'm going to see your," she said.

"Lover boy let's get a moving!" James yelled. Sam took Lizzie's hand and ran to James. "She's not coming," he said. "If I'm not allowed a girl you aren't."

Sam rolled his eyes. Still holding Lizzie's hand and ran, until pouf Lizzie teleported them in Sam's lab.

"I forgot about that," Sam said all embraced.

"Samuel Breton Skellington come up now!" yelled his father,

"Breton," Lizzie laughed.

"Shut up."

"You don't say shut up to your girlfriend," she flirted.

Sam laughed and left to see what his parents wanted with him. Lizzie looked at the lab. It reminded her of Frankenstein's lab. All the equipment looked old fashion. It was also the messiest room she ever visited. Books and plans were all other the place, it was dusty and dark. The only light was a little old lamp. She could just imagine Sam doing little Frankenstein type monsters in here. She laughed at that though. She sat down on the little bed Sam would sleep in when he was tired.

30minutes later Sam came running down. He put in the password and ran in the lab. He saw Lizzie sleeping on his bed. He walked to the bed. He sat down and bushed her long sandy blond hair with his long bone fingers. He whispered in her ear, "Charlie wake up."

Her eyes slowly opened. She saw Sam starring at her. "What did your parents want?"

"Nothing. Just wanted to make sure everyone had they favorite cookie in they cookie jar," he laughed. Lizzie didn't ask about what he was talking about. "Do you want to go home?" he asked hoping it was no.

"I don't like it there," she said. Sam took that as a no. His eyes wined, he took her hand and gave her the big tour of his lab.

"There was where I created Skelly. Over there at the desk is where I make the plans for the next inventions. Over there is my junk pile," he said all exited. It was like that for an hour or so. "And that's my lab."

"Wow. Do you live down here?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said al proud. "If you can't find me I'm most likely here." She laughed at how nerdy he was. "What?"

"Nerd." She took a step and tripped over something. Sam hurried up and caught her. But she pulled him down with her.

"You okay?" he asked her getting up.

"Yeah, you need to clean this place. I thought you cleaned."

"I like cleaning. It's just I clean were people come and see. It's only me down here so I don't bother."

"Okay," she walked to the bed. He fallowed.

"So," Sam said.

"So," she said back. 'Make a move already,' she thought. Just like if he was reading her mind he put his hand on hers. She blushed and hugged him. Sam not knowing what to do he patted her back. "Have you ever seen a romance?"

"I've read a lot of romances. Jay wrights stories and he makes me read them. He's really good. You might like some of his stories."

"So what does a boy do on his first date with a girl?"

"You thinks this a date? Well it could be." Lizzie rolled her eyes. She put head on his shoulder. "Kiss," he said.

"You have no street smart," she laughed.

"Wow that hurts," he flirted.

"Really? You hurt so easily."

"I know."

"Samuel Skellington is with a girl. Who would believe …" He took her head and kissed her. She laughed and kissed him back.

"It's pass midnight. Merry Christmas," he laughed and they kissed a again.
