I slept against Lock's bare chest again. I felt his body against mine; I was in heaven again. Lock's presence started to fade and when I opened my eyes, he wasn't there anymore. I thought he had gone to the bathroom downstairs again like last time. I sat up his bed and thought 'A glass of marble juice would be nice' then stood up. I walked to the door and felt a wave of 'Deja'vu'. When I opened the door, it was there again. I screamed in horror and immediately slammed the door shut then ran to Lock's bed. I curled on it like a scared little sissy girl.

An eerie silence filled the room once again and the door slammed open. I saw another woman somewhat blocking the blinding light from the other side of the doorway. She had another-worldly feel to her. She kinda looked like me before Lock broke my nose; she had the same nose as I did before. She had violet curly hair like me, the same shape of eyes but had blue irises, and lastly she had a powdery green skin like me only paler. She was clad in neon purple accented black corset and knee high black boots. She walked closer to me as Lock's room suddenly morph into a vine covered room.

"Hello" She said; her voice like the one who had almost made me cast Abyss Intake. She sat on Lock's bed which turned into a patch of greenery.

"Hi" I said and she touched my cheek delicately.

"What's your name little girl?" She asked in a sweet voice. I felt numb whenever she talks.

"Shock"

"So, Shock. What creature are you?"

"I'm a witch. How about you?"

"I am also a witch. Tell me, how much have you learned as a witch?"

"I'm pretty smart for a witch"

"I've heard that you've made a contract"

"How the heck did you know?"

"I little bird twitted it to me"

"So? Is it wrong for a witch to make a contract?" I asked half angry and half sarcastic.

"No, not at all. In fact, it is a necessary step for a witch"

"Really?" I said clearly intrigued.

"Yes. Once a witch had made a contract, she will be a full-fledged magic user"

"Is that so?"

"Tell me, what creature have you made that contract with?"

"Does it matter?"

"It does. There are different contract rules for each creature"

"Will you tell me what contract rules apply to us?"

"Only if you tell me what creature you had made the contract with"

"I'm sorry if I'm asking too much to a stranger like you"

"It is quite alright"

"A devil" I said and she was dumbfounded.

"Excuse me?"

"A devil is whom I've made a contract with"

"Oh, well done. A power creature you have acquired as a familiar"

"Please tell me the contract rules for us"

"Alright. First-" She was about to tell me when I heard my name being called.

"Shock" I heard Lock say and when I blinked; I was in his room curled up on his bed! Lock was at the doorframe and staring at me.

"Hey Shockie dear" He said and hugged me. He knew that I only curled up my body when I was extremely scared.

"So that was just a dream" I stated quietly and Lock in the eyes.

"What did you say, Beautiful?" He asked and I just shook my head. We both sat up on his bed and he started to kiss me.

"Why did you wake me up?" I asked when our lips parted. He smirked at me and I looked at him in full view. He was in a black tuxedo with red accents over a red shirt and black tie, black formal pants, and black formal shoes. I was skeptical. What was so important that he would dress fancy?

"Well we have appointments" He answered and stood up then offered a hand to help me stand up. I took his hand and he pulled me up.

"And what are these appointments?" I asked and hugged him. He started to play with my messed up hair.

"Well first, we have classes today" he started and I nodded.

"And?"

"Second, Jack invited us for lunch"

"And?"

"We'll have a romantic dinner"

"Really?" I asked.

"With Barrel" He said and chuckled.

"LOCK!" I yelled at him.

"Calm down and take a shower" He said to me and led me to the hallway all the way to the bathroom door.

"Lock" I groaned.

"What?"

"Lock"

"Oh, Shockie dear. Do you want me to join you?" He whispered to me and I immediately entered the bathroom then locked the door.

"No!" I yelled at the door.

After twenty minutes of showering, I brushed my teeth and then zoomed into my room to get dressed. I opened the door and Lock was lying on my bed.

"Out!" I yelled and my ears twitched. Lock opened one eye and then smirked. He turned his back to me and clutched on the sheets.

"Levitate" I said and pointed my finger to Lock then pointed to the hallway. Lock floated into the hallway. He grunted when he landed outside my room. I quickly closed the door and got dressed. Since we have 'appointments', I guess I should wear something fancy. I got my underwear on and then a formal violet dress, lilac formal gloves, and purple heeled stilettos. I added some accessories and then went out of my room. I saw Lock sitting on the floor facing my door. When he saw me, he stood up and approached me.

"You look beautiful more than usual" He whispered to me and wrapped his hands around my neck. I felt something on my chest. I looked down and saw a golden necklace around my neck. Lock had put in on me! I hugged him tight and mouthed 'thank you'.

"You're welcome, gorgeous" He said when he checked me out. I giggled and we went down to the living room where Barrel was waiting. He was in a black formal wear similar to Jack Skellington's.

"About time" Barrel exclaimed and we went to the bathtub. We traveled to school and the day went by normally. After school, we went to Halloween Town's most exclusive restaurant for lunch with the Skellington couple. When we arrived in front of the restaurant, we were blocked by the bouncer like receptionist.

"Excuse me, why are you blocking our entrance?" Lock asked.

"Glob-glab-blip-bloop-blear. I'm sorry sire but you cannot enter this establishment" The receptionist snottily said.

"And why is that?" I interjected.

"Ma'am. Troublemakers are not allowed in such refined places like this" The receptionist said.

"But why?" Barrel asked innocently. Lock grew angry because he was hungry. I squeezed his arm that was wrapped around my arm and he calmed down a bit. I saw Sally sitting near the window and she saw us. She talked to Jack as my cohorts were arguing with the receptionist. Suddenly, Jack was next to the receptionist and tapped its shoulder.

"It's okay, they're with me" Jack said and motioned us to enter the door. The receptionist was dumbfounded but still let us passed. He stared at us and when we entered the restaurant, Lock showed a smug look while Barrel let his tongue out. We followed Jack to the table near the window where I saw them earlier.

We ordered our food then waited. I looked at Sally and Jack who was obviously in love.

"So, bone daddy-" Lock started.

"-Why did you-" I said.

"-invite us here?" Barrel finished. The couple snapped out of their lovey-dovey world and looked at us.

"Well, first. I heard you two are together" Sally said motioning to Lock and I. We both blushed while Barrel suddenly talked and talked about the two of us.

"Barrel" We whined and he stopped talking. The food came and we ate. After that, we looked at the couple in front of us once again.

"Mrs. Sally" Barrel said innocently.

"What is it?" Sally asked sweetly. We eyed the ragdoll and she and her husband became uncomfortable.

"Are-" Barrel started.

"-You-" I said.

"-Pregnant?" Lock finished. Sally wide-eyed and Jack sighed. He whispered something to Sally and she smiled sweetly. We waited anxiously for the answer.

"You could say I am" Sally said smiling.

"I'm gonna be a father, children" Jack announced.

"But that's not all" Sally said and she looked at her beloved.

"We'll get married at a church" Jack stated smiling.

"And we want you three to attend" Sally stated and looked at us. The first time they got married; it was at the Municipal Hall where the mayor wedded them to each other.

"Lock and Barrel will be my groomsmen" Jack said.

"Shock will be my bridesmaid" Sally said.

"What?!" The three of us shouted in surprise.

"You're gonna get married again?" I asked loudly.

"And you're gonna let us be in it?" Lock asked loudly.

"Yay" Barrel exclaimed. We glared at him for awhile and then we calmed down.

"So, when's the wedding?" Lock asked seriously.

"Three days from now" Jack answered.

"When's the baby due?" I asked seriously too.

"Six months from now" Sally answered.

"Why didn't you guys tell us earlier?" Barrel asked.

"Because we weren't sure if you'll behave yourselves" Jack stated.

"But now, we see that you're changing, so we confirmed your participation" Sally announced happily.

"Is that all?" Lock asked.

"Yes" Sally said.

"Alright then we'll be going" Lock stated and stood up. I followed him but before that I spoke to the couple.

"Don't worry. We'll be there" I said and the three of us went back to the house. We got dressed to non-formal clothes.

"So, what'll we do now?" I asked Lock when Barrel came down all dressed up.

"Where are you going?" I asked to Barrel.

"I'm going on a date" He said which surprised me but I didn't show it.

"Oh. Okay. Be careful" I said as he headed for the door.

"And don't lose your virginity" Lock added which made me blush and Barrel laughed. He went out of the door and silence filled the living room. I turned to Lock who was staring at me.

"We're alone" He said and then smirked when I blushed. He came closer to me while I walked away from him.

"Remember last night?" He asked and I blushed even more. I felt my back against the wall and he approached me. I pinned my against the wall and then smirked.

"Lock" I groaned. His face came closer and closer to mine.

"Don't" I said and he kissed me. I closed my eyes and waited for his hands but heard laughing.

"I was just kidding" He said after he had laughed. I smacked his chest and walked away from him but he grabbed my wrist. He hugged me tight from behind and rested his head on my shoulder.

"I would never ever EVER do what you wouldn't want me to do to you" He whispered to me which made me love him even more.

"Let's play the game console" I suggested and led him to the couch. We played for hours when my stomach started to growl.

"Hahaha. I told you" Lock said and we went to the kitchen to cook our dinner together. After we ate, we went to his room. It was 10 pm when Barrel came home. I scolded him while Lock talked to him 'man-to-man'. After our talks and lectures, we went to our rooms; Barrel went to his and we went to Lock's.

"Thank you, Lock" I said as I buried my face into his bare chest. We laid on his bed and hugged each other tight.

"Thanks for what?"

"For that 'Romantic' dinner"

"You're welcome, beautiful" He said and then we slept in each others arms.
