We were still walking home, the silence of the night eerie in the atmosphere. I was multi-tasking between thinking about that blurry vision and Shock.

I suddenly heard a frustrated sigh that snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked at Barrel and saw his face in an awkward look. "What's with the weird silence between you two?" He asked us. "I mean you always bicker anytime you can and now you two are silent. What's wrong?" He said to us. I was dumbfounded by Barrel's insightful proclamation and instantly fell into deep thought.

"And what's with Lock looking like he's even thinking!" Barrel stated which we ignored. We arrived at the tree house, entered the make-shift elevator, lifted up, and went to our bedrooms.

In the tree house, the chilly winds of Halloween Town came in. I couldn't sleep but I know Barrel did. He snored as loud as Oogie maniacally laughed. I shifted under my covers. I thought about Shock and what happened earlier then there was stiffness in my boxers. Damn. I'll try to shake this off. Walking is always good for the body, right.

I got out of bed and went out the window. I used my tail to get me from the window pane to a tree branch nearby. I let the wind pass my half-naked body. It didn't bother me at all when the chilling winds made contact with my torso and limbs. Contrary to the rumors about a devil being has a dark leathery skin, black eyes, bat-like wings, and claws; I had pale skin, yellow eyes with black irises, bird-like black wings ( I hide it under any circumstance around others; only Barrel saw it once), and just retractable long nails (Like a cat's). Was I weird or abnormal in the classification of demons? Or am I just a rare type of devil. Thoughts of relativity to the subject of the matter flooded in my mind. Time flew by and before I realized it, it was already morning. The black sky and orange moon was lightening up.

I climbed down unto my window's pane and heard a gentle breathing. I continued inside and saw Shock snuggling on my clothes and sheet.

"Oi, Shock. Wake up" I said quietly as I nudged her arm. She didn't even budge. I looked at her in full view. She was clad in purple clothes like she always does; the only time we've seen her not wearing purple, violet or any hue related color was when she bathes in the river nearby (One time thing. We followed her and saw her naked back then we ran back to the tree house). I contemplated on her whole life being with us. I leaned closer to inspect her face. And I remembered when we fought to the point that we seriously injured one another.

*FLASHBACK BABY!*

It was a normal quiet morning in Halloween Town where-

"LOCK!" a nine year old girl screeched the name out of her lips.

In the tree house of the finest Halloween Town trick-or-treaters, chaos was about to brew between the two eldest members. The girl wore a loose lilac shirt. The youngest member was confused at what was the commotion all about.

The girl finally found the before-mentioned person in his room. In there, he laid carelessly on his bed.

"LOCK!" She yelled it this time and the boy looked up at the girl. His lazy yellow and black eyes looked at her with a sleepy expression.

"Shock" He whined the name and grinned as he finally took in the girl's figure. Her loose shirt was already baggy everywhere and her left shoulder was exposed. By this time the grin turned into a smirk.

"LOCK! WHY DID YOU DO THIS?" Shock hissed between her clenched teeth.

"Did what Shock, be specific. I do a lot of things, you know" Lock said as he sat up on his bed.

"You know what you did!"

"Ask nicely, Shockie dearest"

"You! You replaced all my toiletries with yours! Now I smell like you-a GUY! You hid all my feminine clothes and even my UNDERWEAR! You little-"She yelled but was interrupted when she noticed Lock being closer to her than before.

"So you're not wearing ANYTHING underneath?"He asked and poked her side with his tail. She held his shoulders and threw him back to his bed, ignoring the fact that he was a little sexual.

"And worse of all, you did it on the day when Harry and I would go out for lunch!"

"Are you saying that I deliberately sabotage you on the day of your DATE"

"I'm not saying it! I'm implying it!"

"Well, I've would! You caught me" He said and grinned as he raised his arms. This infuriated Shock more.

"Why you!" She yelled and tackled him.

She punched him square on his face and he countered with his tail holding her fist back. He tackled her off and grabbed at her hair. He pulled on her hair therefore pulling her head closer to his face. She kneed him between his legs, earning a wince from the demon which involuntarily punched her with full force on the nose. They were both taken back, Shock held her bleeding broken and mishappened nose while Lock held his aching junior.

Barrel heard struggling noises and hesitantly entered the room. He saw the two of them and quickly got all of them to the doctor where Shock got her big nose fixed. (The fight was actually better but I'm tired to write) Long story short, Shock got a new nose, Lock needed cream for his junk, and Barrel was traumatized.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

When I leaned closer and stared at her face, she suddenly opened her eyes. We stared at each other for awhile. She came closer to my face and kissed me. Shit. Damn boxers. I noticed that she acknowledged the hard-on's presence and pulled away smiling.

"Want me to explain what happened yesterday?" She said as she pulled me onto my bed.

"Only if you want to"

"I do"

"Then explain"

"Okay, first of all. I've might have made a permanent contract with you by kissing you"

"Uh-huh"

"Still unfazed I see"

"Yup, continue"

"What I did was a cowardly witch's move to either gain power or wield power indirectly"

"Don't call yourself a coward"

"Okay. So basically the contact requires physical closeness or touch"

"I like where this is going"

"Sexual or intimate contact lasts longer than physical touch"

"Ah-I like it"

"And for a long period of time without touch, contact; either eye or physical, and conversation can lead into weakening"

"That's all?"

"That's all" She confirms and I pull her into a hug. We went down and saw Barrel eating candy and playing video games. We joined him and I asked the strangest thing EVER!

"Are you guys sick and tired of this place?"

"This place?" Barrel asked pausing the game.

"Do you mean the tree house?" Shock asked.

"Yeah"

"Well yeah. Of course we're sick and tired of this place"

"It brings back memories of Oogie Boogie"

"Then let's move out"

"Seriously"

"Ha- And next you'll make us go to school. Devil Chief"

"That may be a good idea"

"O geez"

"Damn, I just had to say it"

"Then it's decided! We'll move and go to school" I said grinning as the two sighed and went about their activities. We left later afternoon to talk to Jack Skellington about our decision.
