After jack and the gang stopped jimmy and Caitlin from doing their dirt pecker impression, the team headed back to talk to the hanging tree.

"Thank you for finding my hanging men, guys," said the hanging tree. "Without them, I wouldn't be much of a hanging tree, would I?"

"Yeah, that's all well and good," said jonesy. "What I want to know is where all these stupid skeletons are coming from."

"I noticed that some of the tombstones in the graveyard are overturned," said the hanging tree. "The skeletons might be coming from there."

"So all we have to do is put the tombstones back up?" asked jen.

"Yes, that should work," said jack.

"But they're probably all over the place!" said jonesy. "It'll take too long if we have to put them all back one by one!"

"Well, how many of them are there?" asked Joe.

"Eight," said jimmy.

"Yeah eight." Said Caitlin.

Jack and the gang stared at jimmy and Caitlin

"Jimmy Caitlin how did you both know that?" asked jen.

"We counted them all when zero's nose and me and Caitlin were searching for the hanging guys," said jimmy. "Are we good or what?"

"What makes you and Caitlin so special?" asked jonesy.

"We eat cereal, jonesy," jimmy beamed.

"Well, if there are eight, we should be able to do four each if we split up," said jack. "You guys will do fine without me, right?"

"Are you kidding?" asked jonesy. "We can defend ourselves. We're on the case!"

"And while you're doing that, I'll see if any of my hanging men seen sally," said the hanging tree.

"Good plan," said Sam.

"Jimmy, those tombstones are probably heavy, so we need you to hoist them up while jen and I pull," said jonesy.

"Jimmy?" asked jimmy. "I'll go get him, jonesy." He then grabbed the others and they ran off to the first tombstone.

"We'll meet back at the giant, okay?" jack called after them.

It wasn't long before they got to the first tombstone, which was a few feet away from the giant tree.

"Now what?" asked jen.

"Jimmy, you get on the other side and push," jonesy ordered. "Jen, help me wrap the yo-yo around the stone so we can pull it up."

"Can do, jonesy," said jimmy, running to the top of the tombstone, and beginning to push.

"I'm surprised with you, jonesy," said Jen.

"What?" asked jonesy.

"Why, just a few years ago, you wouldn't even think about helping us out like this," said jen. "And now you're doing your fair share. Why the change of heart?"

"Well, a lot has changed in the past few years," said jonesy.

"Like meeting jack?" asked jen.

"Sort of…" jonesy as he and jen began to pull.

"What exactly happened last year when you two were riding in the sleigh?" asked jen.

"Oh…" jonesy paused. Honestly, he didn't really want to talk about what he and jack found out about the map of Halloween town. "Nothing big happened," he said finally. "I just finally decided to come out from hiding, jack started giving his presents out, we talked a little, then we were shot down. Nothing big."

"What did you talk about?" asked jen.

"…Stuff," said jonesy.

Jen looked at her friend. "Stuff," she repeated.

"Yeah, just stuff you don't need to know about, all right?" asked jonesy.

"Well, I'm still curious," said jen. "But if you don't want to talk about it, I respect your decision, jonesy."

"Really?" asked jonesy. "Uh… thanks."

At that point, the gang moved the tombstone just enough so that it shifted back into place.

"Jimmy's not here, jonesy," said jimmy.

"Uh… yeah," said jonesy. "Come on. We need to find three more tombstones and meet up with jack. We've still got sally to find, you know."

"Oh, I hope she's okay," said jen. "But why are you interested, jonesy?"

"Geez, I can't be worried about my friends?" asked jonesy. "Sally's a good person! She doesn't deserve to be taken away."

"Oh dear…" Sam suddenly mumbled as he turned around.

And he had a good reason to. The gang were surrounded by skeletons!

"I'm afraid we'll have to put this conversation on hold," said Sam, taking out his death rattle.

"Fine by me," said jonesy.

"ATTACK!' yelled jimmy.

To make a long story short, the gang made quick work of the skeletons, and ran off to find the remaining three tombstones. They quickly realized that every time they put a tombstone back, a batch of skeletons would pop up. Luckily, thanks to their guns and new weapons, the gang were just fine through the whole thing. It took them a while, but they finally got their remaining three tombstones back into place.

The gang also realized how terribly out of shape they all were. They were panting heavily when they got back to the giant tree to wait for jack.

"I got four of the tombstones put back in place," jack said when he returned. "How about you all?"

"Four tombstones present and accounted for," jimmy gasped, since he wasn't panting as heavily.

"Yeah dude," said Jude.

"Thank you so much, guys," said the hanging tree. "Now that you're here, Halloween town will be back to it's old self."

"That's what we're hoping for," jonesy said as he and the others stood up.

"And I have good news," said the hanging tree. "One of the hanging men just told me he heard a woman singing from under the ground.

"Under the ground?" asked Wyatt.

"It's a cannibalistic alien or predator!" exclaimed jimmy.

"Now jimmy, let's not start that again!" said jen. "Oh!" she was surprised when she felt something tap the back of her head. When she turned around, she found a folded piece of paper at her feet.

"What's that, jen?" jonesy asked as jen picked up the paper.

Jack gasped. "It's a paper plane from sally!" he exclaimed. He reached out to take it, but the plane suddenly disappeared in jen's hands. "Where did that come from, jen?" jack asked.

"Well, from what I could tell…" jen began to calculate. "The plane must have came from that direction," she concluded, pointing.

The hanging tree looked in the same direction. "Down that way lies the underground burial chamber," he said.

"The burial chamber?" asked jonesy.

"It's the largest grave in this area," the hanging tree explained. "It's infested with spiders and cobwebs. Oh, how romantic."

"Uh, yeah. Sure…" jonesy mumbled. Then he cringed.

"Yes!" said jack. "That's where sally must be!" he began running in that direction, the gang sprinting behind him. As they ran, all of them couldn't help but be excited.
