Violet was getting tired of walking in the Hinterlands. She wonder to herself "should I be doing this"? She heard her stomach rumble inside and relies that she been walking a while that she was getting hungry. She remember the brown sack that her mother gave to her before she left for school. She open it up and smiled to see a brown sandwich with some green slime and little bit of worms in it. "mm... sloppy worm". She look in to see a green package that says "bat juice" on it. She grab it and pull out the straw and put it into the little hole on top of the juice pack. She eat her sandwich, which of course was a little messy. And she drank her juice. After fifteen minutes she got up and took her juice pack and put it into her brown bag. She carry her brown bag with her and headed further into the Hinterlands. Not knowing where she may be going or heading to. She began to look around when she happen to stop suddenly. She saw one tree about a foot away from her had a picture of a green chamrack on it. To her it was a strange looking leaf picture on the door. Violet walk up to the chamrack picture when she happen to turn around to see more pictures of different kinds on each of the trees. She saw that the trees were all in a circle and there were seven trees in all. The one that caught her eyes was a tree with little decorations on it. She then remember her mother story of how Jack found Christmas Town. She smiled and thought to herself "I bet this is a door leading to Christmas Town. I'm sure this place will be better for me". Violet open up the door and looked inside, but nothing was in there. She sigh and thought to herself "I guess I was wrong". She then heard two voices calling her name from an inch away from her. She knew those voices and said to herself "oh no! Mom and Dad knows that I'm out here". She then thought to herself "well I better get going". Violet was about to leave when she happen to turn to see Zero and her parents coming into the middle of the holiday trees.
What she didn't notice was that the snow from the door was beginning to swirl around her. Zero saw Violet and barked happily. Jack and Sally turn to see their daughter looking at them guilty. Sally said "oh Violet, we were worried sick about you". Jack cross his arms and said "Violet, come here now". Violet was about to walk over when she happen to feel the wind pushing her inside the door. "No..." she cried. But it was too late the wind from the door force her inside the door. Jack and Sally along with Zero try to save her. But it was too late, once she was force inside the door shut tight. Jack try to pull it but the door wouldn't budge at all. Sally ask "what are we going to do"? Just then Zero bark and Jack look down and saw a brown bag that Violet had drop while being pull into the door. Jack pick it up and said determinedly "I know what we will do. There is one way to get to Christmas Town". He look at his wife and said "I have to have the sleigh I use before". Sally ask "you mean the one you use to go into the human world"? Jack nodded and said "I just need to ask Dr. Finklestein to use to get my little girl back". Sally nodded and the two of them along with Zero headed back to Halloween Town to get the sleigh from Dr. Finklestein.
Meanwhile Violet was twirling around and soon fell into something wet and cold. It was a big thump but she was okay and not hurt. Violet was a bit dizzy and after a few minutes she was back to normal. When she got her eyes to focus she happen to see a strange town with lots of lights and different kinds of colors in the town. She wonder to herself "where am I"? Then she got up and blush off her dress and saw what was on the ground. She remember that she only saw the white snow only on Christmas. She smiled and thought to herself "I wonder if this is Christmas Town". She was going to walk into the town when she happen to see a baby reindeer not older then 5 months running towards her. She was knock down by the reindeer and lay there for a bit. Then she got her head up and saw a small person, smaller then her with a green and red dress with white spot running up to her. The small person said guilty "oh sorry about that, Dixie doesn't comprehend to well". Violet ask "who's Dixie"? The small person said "oh that's what I name her. See my family are known to raise reindeer's like her and soon they become Santa's reindeer". Violet never heard of Santa before but she shrug and said "well that's okay, I am not sure where I am at". The small person said "oh this is Christmas Town. I'm Ellie and I am one of Santa's elf helper". Violet relies that her mother had told her about elf's and how they play a role for as she and the rest of the town resident call Santa 'Sandy Claws'. Violet smiled and said "hi, I'm Violet and I'm a human". She was careful not to say Pumpkin Princess because their are elves who don't truly trust her father. Ellie smiled and said "please to meet you". Violet saw her eyes weren't normal at all. Her eyes were yellow and that was not normal at all. Violet ask "Ellie, is all elves like you have yellow eyes"? Ellie shook her head and said "no, it just I was born awkward with it. My brother picks on me and so do everyone else. Except dad, he say that my mom is a fairy and it's normal for fairies to have odd eyes color". Violet thought to herself "I know what you mean". Ellie ask "so where do you live, maybe I can help"? Violet bit her lips unsure what to tell her, she didn't want to return to Halloween Town, not after what happen to her. She sigh and said "it's far away". Ellie could tell that Violet did not want to go back to where ever Violet had come from. Ellie said "well if you want to stay here for a while, I could show you the whole town". Violet smiled and said "I would love that". Ellie smiled and said "great, then maybe you can help me find Dixie". Violet agreed and the two happy girls went to find Dixie the baby reindeer.
Back in Halloween Town Jack, Zero, and Sally made it to Dr. Finklestein's laboratory (they were stop on their way by the mayor, and Jack had to explain what happen to the mayor). Jack pound on the door and soon Igor open the door up. "hello, may I help you"? Jack nodded and ask "where is Dr. Finklestein"? Igor answer "he's working on an experiment, he's in the lab". Jack and Sally both thank Igor. Igor took them to the big lab where tables and some wires were around. There in the middle of the room was Dr. Finklestein working on something on the table. Igor said to Dr. Finklestein "master, Jack and Sally are here to see you". Dr. Finklestein turn his wheelchair around and smiled warmly "ah, Jack, Sally, great to see you". Jack nodded and said "doctor, if you don't mind, my wife and I need to use that sleigh that I use many years ago". Dr. Finklestein was a bit shock at the same time carious of why Jack and Sally needed the sleigh. "why is that Jack, my boy"? Jack explain what happen to Violet being swept into the the portal. Dr. Finklestein nodded and said "I see, well I suppose you two can use it. But you may need Zero to guide your way. It going to be foggy tonight". Jack nodded and said "I sure will and thank you ever so kindly, doctor". Dr. Finklestein rolled his wheelchair over to the edge of the lab room and there he roll in front of the big blue door that was metal like. Dr. Finklestein press a red button and soon the door slowly open up. As it finally open up eight skeleton reindeers came running out with a coffin sleigh behind the reindeers. Jack whistle for his dog Zero to come into the lab and sure enough Zero heard his master's whistle and came flying to Jack right away. Zero bark to let Jack know that he was there. Jack smiled and said "Zero, will you light the way and help us fly this sleigh though the fog. So that we can find Violet". Zero bark an agreement and flew right in front of the skeleton reindeer. Jack made sure that Zero was connected to the sleigh just right. He then turn to Sally and ask "are you ready, Sally dear"? Sally nodded and answer "I'll do anything to get her back". Jack hugged his wife and whisper into her ears "I do too". They both let go and they both got into the coffin and were ready for take off.
Dr. Finklestein said "all right I heard that there is going to be an ice storm in Christmas Town by ten, so you better be back by then". Jack said "we're sure be back before the storm hits". Jack grab the rope and yelled "all right everyone, now fly to Christmas Town"! With that Zero and all eight reindeers flew up in the air and headed towards Christmas Town. Dr. Finklestein and Igor wave to Jack and Sally. Sally wave back and then look at Jack. "Oh Jack, I hope nothing had happen to her". Jack sigh and said "I do as well and plus I hope she isn't going to want to stay there". Jack yelled out to Zero "Zero, can you pick up the pase"! Zero barked an agreement and he and the reindeers flew even faster then before. Jack said to Sally "once we get there we're see if Sandy Claws had seen Violet". Sally thought that it would be a great idea. Jack and Sally hoped that their little girl is all right and not causing any trouble while being in Christmas Town.
