The Skellingtons' reception was great. During it, Sally announced that they'll have a baby which made their guest congratulate them even more. The aftermath of going into a CHURCH still lingers on me but with Shock beside me, I have nothing to worry about.

Barrel escorted Dahlia back to her house a few minutes ago- so Shock and I have the house for us.

"Shock" I said seductively. She looked up at me from her spell book. We were in the guest room next to my room. On the bed, she sat curled up near the wall while I lay on my stomach. We were in our PJs which means she had thin clothes on. This made me hard.

"What?" She snapped at me when she saw the look I was giving her. I slid myself closer and sat up.

"Aw. Come on" She whined. I won't give you any details about our first time. After making love to each other, we went to sleep in each others' arms.

While asleep, I felt myself in Shock's dream or was it a nightmare. She was standing alone inside a luminous room. She was on the opposite of my location.

"Hello?" She yelled and her voice echoed. She cringed in fear when she realized she was alone. I ran to her side since I knew she hated being alone.

"F*cking Geez. Deja'vu" She stated with anger/ annoyance and sat on the floor. She hummed a tune which I knew. I sat next to her; desperately trying to get her attention.

"Child" We heard a voice say and we turned around.

"You again" Shock said angrily and stood up. She slapped the woman's face. The woman looked a lot like Shock except her eye shape, skin color, and hair color. The woman had almond shaped eyes, slightly tanned skin, and blonde straight hair.

"Child" The woman said again with a long sad face then hugged Shock. Apparently, this was the first time this had happened since Shock was surprised.

I didn't know what to do. And then the whole scene started to fade.

"F*ck" I said as I woke up in cold sweat. I couldn't register what just happened. I couldn't sleep for a few hours but then Shock snuggled me into sleep.

-TIME SKIP (THREE AND A HALF MONTHS LATER) -

Geez. Shock has finally stopped throwing up after days of vomiting! Today was Halloween. Since we were in school now, we have to participate in activities to prepare us for future Halloweens when we take over the Halloween preparations, etc.

Now was one of the activities. Shock was up next. The activity was fear measurement- this activity shows things that would actually scare that specific individual and would record how the individual reacts to prolonged exposure to its fear. The time limit was 10 minutes and there were five rooms where this test takes place.

She lay on the bed where the activity will begin. A teacher. Mr. Vermon, strapped Shock tightly on the bed. Then his assistant started the procedure. I wanted to be beside her during this time but it was not permitted. Instead, we watched above the lab behind a safe glassed room where we were transported to by a wizard. She laid on the bed; eyes closed and wrists/ ankles/waist/forehead tied on the bed for security.

I don't really know what she saw but at first she was all smileys (2 minute time period). Then her facial expression changed completely (3 minutes). She started to flinch, then she shifted her body shaking, and then she began to attempt to tear the straps tied on her (4 minutes). I screamed for the process to stop. And then when she could be free- she started to scream (5 minutes).

The contraption that measures fear went to its highest level then it went haywire (6 minutes). It went from highest to lowest then back to highest and again and again (7 minutes). When finally, it went over the highest point then went berserk (8 minutes). By now, Shock unconsciously levitated the equipment inside the lab (9 minutes). I yelled and yelled for them to stop but they didn't. All the students in the safe glassed room and probably all over school levitated except me and Barrel. Barrel held on to Dahlia who was being levitated. I started to punch the glass but to no avail. We heard a loud explosion and saw the lab on fire; the contraption just exploded (10 minutes).

"Transport" I said-finally resorting to magic. I landed inside the lab; next to the bed where Shock lay. The faculty were coughing and coughing inside the lab.

"Shock" I repeatedly said while untying the straps. She began to levitate but she stopped screaming and shaking. I looked at her with surprise and confusion- WHAT IS GOING ON?

"Wake up" I said when I levitated next to her and I held her shoulders. She suddenly opened her eyes. Her grey eyes glowed with a yellow writing on each eye emitting a strange light.

"kshihemnjhguijkekbkaghugjkah sjdkhuiwhkejndbsjkghiasakheu ichjb" She said which mumbling nonsense was in no language so she was.

"Op iev nouajche; aldhanje. Dohsyhch anhlou guoich etihe. Oe vhenchy-ul vhenchy-hy vhenchy-aa vhenchy-ycc vhenchy. Anhlou guoiche. Dohsyhch kukonj. Yc vhenchy- ee vhenchy-ae vhenchy-ycc vhenchy. Etihe kukonje. Anhlou heydoj etihe poplouchk houghj. Da vhenchy- ua vhenchy- so vhenchy-ycc vhenchy. Poplouchkch heydoj etihe jx e, o, d, l, y.-" She said and I immediately understood what she said. The speakers on the wall suddenly went static like stsssssss/zhzhzhzhz.

I weighed myself onto her and she went down with me. She went unconscious and closed her eyes. We landed on a bed in an awkward position. The others followed and were dropped on the cold floor. The fires were still flaming.

"Mr. Lock" Mr. Vermon raspy coughed out. I snapped my attention to my surrounding. I sucked the flame inside my body with one huge inhalation and burped smoke. I think Shock smelled my smoke burp because she slapped my arm.

"Shock" Barrel said and everyone was transported to the gym while the student council and Shock were transported to the Student Council Office.

"Ms. Shock. What happened?" The principal's voice echoed inside the Student Council Office where all the student council officers were. Shock sat on a chair facing the president's desk and chair. Gary sat on his president's chair, Taylor was standing by his side, I leaned on the chair were Shock sat, Blake leaned on the president's desk, Barrel stood beside Shock, and Gene stood proudly up near the president's desk.

"I-I-I" Shock stuttered.

"Please answer" The principal's voice said.

"I don't know" She said.

"Shock. We're worried about you" Gary said.

"Since the Skellington wedding, you've been asking for hall passes frequently for a long period of time. I've seen that you've only just stopped a few weeks ago" Taylor said as he looked into a file.

"Lock, Barrel. We know she is you friend-" Gary said but was interrupted.

"She's not my friend!" Barrel and Lock said individually in unison.

"She's my only sister" Barrel shouted.

"She's my only love" Lock screamed. Both statements made Shock blushed.

"Silence" The principal's voice commanded.

"Shock" Blake said.

"Please understand" Gary said.

"That incident cannot be taken lightly" Taylor said.

"You alone levitated all the people on the campus, made the fear measurement unit 2 explode, and caused fire around the campus" Gene stated with authority.

"I don't know" Shock said. I looked at her. She looked weak and fragile- like she was going to collapse.

"I don't know what even happened. I blacked out! I admit it. I did but-" Shock yelled frantically. "But-but-but" And then she collapsed.

"Shock" Me and Barrel shouted. We went to her. I hugged her then carried her.

"We have to contact the witches of the far" The principal's voice said.

"Yes" Gary said and I carried Shock off to the nurse's office with Barrel.

-Nurse's Office (3 hours later)—

"Barrel. It's okay if you want to go now. I understand that you want to see Dahlia" I said not taking my eyes off Shock who had been unconscious for three hours. She lay on the bed sometimes whimpering, sometimes I fall asleep when Barrel wasn't looking and I get brief nightmares.

"Are you sure about that?" Barrel asked. We were both worried sick about her. During lunch, Dahlia came here but she had to go to class after that.

"Yes" I said. I felt like we were in a soap opera/drama series that we saw when we tricked our human victims. I held Shock's hand firmly with mine.

"Alright. I'll come by when it's time to head home" Barrel said and he left.

-5 days later-

"Doctor. What's her condition?" I asked Dr. Finkelstien barging to the room. Shock was upright sitting on her bed while Sally sat at a chair near her.

"Lock" Shock said in surprise. She woke up. And as soon as I realized this, I ran to her and hugged her tight.

"*Ahem* Ms. Shock is fine. Nothing major at all b-" Dr. Finkelstien didn't finish.

"Doctor. Thank you for your visit" Sally said alarmingly. She called Barrel to escort the doctor back to his home. Sally went downstairs presumably to cook us dinner.

"Geez, Shock. Never do that again" I said to her.

"She won't I assure you" Blake said entering Shock's window in bat form. When he transformed into human, he gave Shock flowers. I noticed Shock radiant these past months.

"What're you doing here?" I asked with venom.

"I'm visiting. Isn't that obvious?" He said and sat close to Shock.

"Why'd ya' visit Blake?" Shock asked whilst looking at the flowers.

"Well, we've been talking with the witches of the far" He said. Those witches shunned Shock the moment they saw her on their pot!

"And?" I asked.

"They'll be coming in a week" He said.

"Alright then" Shock stated nonchalantly.

"That's all?"

"Yeah" He answered.

"Then leave"

"Lock! Stop being so rude" Shock yelled. She stumbled up and Blake helped her stand.

"Shock!" I yelled in worry and went to her side- pushing Blake off her. She glared at me as Blake shifted his feet.

"I'm fine, Lock" She said.

"Uhm, Lock, Shock. I don't mean to intrude but can I stay here for tonight?" Blake suddenly asked out of the blue,

"Okay" I said in annoyance as Shock gave me a look that said yes.

"You can have the guest room next to Lock's room" Shock said.

"Thanks" Blake said.

"Hey, Barrel. Show Blake around. He's staying over tonight" I yelled and Barrel appeared to take Blake off my responsibility. I closed the door and secured it.

"Lock" Shock said warningly. The seventh time we made love, and with guests around; she must be freaking.

After making love, she looked at me with her big grey eyes.

"Lock. I love you" She said.

"I love you too"

"Um…Lock, I have something really important to tell you" She said looking away; shy and scared. This kind of hurt me because 1. She's never shy. 2. She's scared to tell me something. And 3. She didn't want to say it with eye contact- which was a real problem.

"Yeah? What is it?" I asked trying to be supportive and cheerful.

"LOCK! SHOCK! DINNER" Sally shouted just as Shock was opening her mouth.

"Kay-dot. We'll be there in a few" Shock shouted back and she motioned me to get clothed.

Dinner was delicious. Jack came by to eat too. Which means we had three guests. I teased Shock by gently caressing her leg with my tail while we ate. After dinner, we all went to bed but we had a guest-so Shock and I had to sleep in separate rooms then I had to sneak to her room. But nevertheless, today was eventful. 1. Shock finally woke up. 2. Sally and Jack finally explained to us how they're gonna have a child. 3. Shock and I made love for the most in a single day (7).
