Chapter 15 The Truth

It's been two weeks since Christmas pasted. Lizzie and Sam have been spending almost every second possible together. They weren't just dating, but they were like best friends. So far the Skellingtons liked her. Well they liked that Sam found someone and he was the happiest he have ever been. This was the first time Lizzie was happy in Halloween Town and she was welcomed. Both of them were happy.

They were in Sam's room. Lizzie was in his arms. They were talking, about random stuff, like science and history.

"Sammy," she laughed then kissed him.

"You want to read a book," he asked.

"Love too," she said.

He got up and picked up a bunch of paper. It was a story that Jason wrote. It was a romantic parody of the prince and the pauper. They were lying to the people they fell in love with. They lied about they name, just like she was doing with Sam. She was lying to him. She couldn't hear the whole story.

"What's wrong if it's not good I'll tell Jay," he said.

"No it's good, I just can't read it," she said.

"Charlie?" he said.

"Don't call me that," she yelled.

"That's your name what else do you what me to call you?" he asked.

A tear fell out of her eye and she teleported out, living Sam in confusion. Lizzie sat on spiral hill, crying.

"I can't do this. I can't be someone else anymore. But what the hell I'm I suppose to do?" she cried.

"Elizabeth, you can be yourself," said a voice jolly old voice. Lizzie turned around. There standing on spiral hill with her was Santa Clause.

"Santa why are you here?" she asked drying up her tears.

"You need me. You have no one. I've been watch you and you need help and guiding. I'm here to help," he said.

"Like a guardian angel?" she asked.

"Some what," he laughed.

"What should I do?" she asked.

"About your problem with your honesty to Samuel Skellington. I've known Samuel his whole life. I know if you tell him that you're not Charlotte, he won't be mad but more curious about the humans. He won't care as much as you might think. He will not confess it but he loves you, more than anything," he said. Lizzie was there frozen.

"Really," she said.

"Yes, I know everything about everyone. How do you think I know whose naughty or nice?" he asked.

"A computer," she answered.

"No. I need to go back. I have a meeting to go," he left.

"What do I do?" she asked.

She thought a moment and she knew what to do. She went back in Sam's room. He wasn't there. She went to the lab. He was cleaning up. She stud wait tills he saw her. That lasted a second. She laughed.

"Charlie!" he yelled happily. He went to her. He bent down and kissed her.

"We need to talk Sammy," she said.

"Is it about what happened in my room?" he said.

"Yes. The story reminded me of what Charlie and I are doing," she said.

"What?" he said confused. "Like the prince and the pauper?"

"Yes but not really. I'm not born from Halloween Town. I'm not Charlie Raven. I was born in Vancouver, Canada. I'm a human. On Halloween me and Charlie changed places, she gave me her powers. Now she's living like me and I'm living her life," Lizzie explained.

"Wow," Sam sat down on a chair. "This is so cool. So what's your name?" he said all exited. Santa was right he wasn't mad.

"Elizabeth, but I like to be called Lizzie," she said.

"I like that name more than Charlie," she said.

"Is this the truth?" he asked.

"Yes."

"If people fine out you're a human they're going to bring you back to Canada," he said.

"I trust you won't tell anyone," she said worried.

"Of course not why would I?"

"I don't know. I don't want to live just yet."

"You don't miss your life?" he asked.

"Yes but I don't want to live you," she blushed.

He blushed too. She kissed him. The rest of the night he kept asking question her questions about Lizzie and the humans. He was so curious, he was just like his father. He swore he would never tell anyone anything she told him.

The next day, she came to the house to work a new project they started. It was for Sam's favourite subject Science. They were going to make a computer, they were no computers in the Holiday world so Lizzie thought it would be an easy A. They were in Sam's room.

"So this would make communication easier. You can research anything without books. You can write something on it and it will be easier to read. Wow Liz I love computers already," he said than kissed her.

"Sammy boy you're not cheating on Charlie with a girl named Liz?" asked a voice.

Sam and Lizzie turned to see James at the door. She told him only last night and now he blows it.

"Did I say Liz, sorry I meant Charlie," he laughed.

"I'm not stupid," said James.

"Yes you are," Sam said.

"Liz and Charlie are two totally different names and you could never make a mistaken like that," James said closing the door. "I knew there was something fishy. Charlotte Raven and Samuel Skellington dating, I knew it wasn't true. She's not really Charlie, who are you."

"Your brother is smarter then people say," Lizzie said.

"Once every blue moon," Sam said.

"What's a blue moon?" James asked.

"See he has not book smarts, but street smarts maybe," Sam said.

"Where's Charlie?" James asked.

"Are-you a blabber mouth?" asked Lizzie.

"If you don't tell me who are you I might be," he said.

"Charlie is in the human world pretending to be me," she said.

Lizzie explained the whole story to James, from her and Charlie meeting to last night when she told Sam.

"Dad is going to kill you when finds out you're dating a human," James chuckled.

"But he won't find out James. Will he? Isn't my happiest important," Sam said showing his scars on his right arm. "Don't I hurt easily."

"Sammy boy put that way," he said. "Suicide will never be an answer."

Lizzie looked confused. But she saw in Sam's face that it wasn't a subject to ask questions on.

"I know, I'm talking about what can happen to you," he said.

"You would never kill me. You would be the future Pumpkin King and I don't think you want to be the Pumpkin King," James said.

"I know I would suck at that job but I would do the best I could do," he said.

"Fine, fine, fine I won't tell," he said. "So you're Liz?"\

"Lizzie," she said.

"Welcome to Halloween town Lizzie," James said.
