At Mt. Mistletoe Violet and Ellie were having a great time sliding on their back down the hill. They kept doing that for a bit and then throwing snowballs at each other. Ellie turn around and look over to the side of the hill. Violet saw Ellie's concerned face and ask "Ellie, what's wrong"? Ellie turn and said "well this spot here is pretty icy" she frown and said "Matt, the one you met earlier before we came here, he broke his hip bone on that part of the hill. That is why he wouldn't come here with us". Violet sigh and said "wow, that's too bad". Ellie nodded. Then the wind began to pick up more. Ellie look up at the sky and saw it was getting darker. "Seems like we'll going to have ourselves a storm". Ellie turn to Violet and said "We better get back before dad starts to worry about me and before the storm hits". Violet nodded and the two of them were struggling to stay on the hill. But then Violet lost her footing and slip down where the part of the hill was icy. Violet began to scream and Ellie turn to see Violet rolling down the hill. Ellie cried "Violet"! Violet kept on rolling down until she hit a big rock that was almost at the bottom of the hill. Her head hit the rock first and cause Violet to be knock out. Ellie saw what happen and she ran down on the other side to see her friend. Ellie happen to see her brother, her father, Matt, Santa, Jack, and Sally running towards her. Ellie stop cold when she saw Jack and Sally. Benjamin said "there you are". Ellie kept her eyes on Jack and Sally with shock. Matt knew who she was staring at and said "don't worry they are Violet parents and they are here for her". Ellie shook her head and ask in shock "what! They are Violet's parents"? Santa said "Violet was adopted by them and lives in Halloween Town". Ellie said "well that's explain why she didn't want to tell me and... oh no Violet"! She ran to find Violet, the others ran after her to see where she was going.
Ellie saw Violet laying at the bottom of the hill unconsciousness but still alive. Ellie ran up to Violet and kept saying "I'm so sorry Violet, I should have never bring you here". Ellie began to cry and kept on apologizing to Violet. The others finally found Ellie and saw that Violet was hurt. Jack and Sally ran up to their daughter. Jack pick Violet up and held her in his arms. Sally was crying and rubbing Violet's head. Jack too began to cry and said to himself "I'll never forgive myself. How could I be so blind to see how trouble she was feeling". Jack put his skull and face into Violet's body and he cried even more. Ellie saw her father kneeling down next to her. Ellie said tearfully "I didn't mean to, I am a terrible friend to her". Randy sigh and said "I see your great friends with her, and you should have known not to come here". Ellie said "I know, I was stupid I guess. I didn't even think what happen when Matt got hurt". She hide her face into her father's shirt. Randy rub his daughter's head and said "there, there, everything will be all right". Santa and Matt look at each other sadly and Benjamin too began to cry at least a little. Matt said "now you see why I regret coming back and why that hill can be dangerous". Santa nodded and said "I see what you mean. I think no one could ever come here again". Matt said "ha, you're never going to see me on that stupid hill again. No way hoozay man".
Benjamin turn to see Violet beginning to wake up. He smiled and said "look, she's alive and waking up". Everyone look and even Jack and Sally looked at Violet, and sure enough she was waking up. Jack put his arms tighter to her and ask her "Violet, sweetie, are you all right"? It took Violet a while to respond back but she was able to focus on what was going on and saw her father looking at her and kept on asking her if she was all right. Violet smile a little and said "I think I'm all right. I'm not sure what happen though". Jack lift Violet up in the air and twirl her around and hug her tight saying "oh Violet, thank goodness you're all right". Violet smiled and said "Dad, I love you and I'm terribly sorry for running away as I did". Jack rub her head and said "ssh.. it's all right dear, I should have known better to see the signs that you were in trouble sooner". Violet smiled and hugged her father back. Jack put her down and soon Sally ran up and gave Violet a big hug. Violet turn and saw Santa walking up to her. She smiled and ask "are you, Sandy Claws"? Ellie, Benjamin, and Matt look at each other strangely and confused of what Violet meant. Santa laugh and said "I see the little resemblance of your father in you. Well glad your are all right". Violet said nothing more but smiled. She felt some pain in her head but she thought that she better not say nothing about her head at all. She look to see Ellie, Matt, and Benjamin was standing. She smiled and said "it was great to meet all of you, and thank you Ellie for showing me around this place". Ellie smiled and said "your welcome, you know you could have told me about where your from I mean your place fascinate me a lot". Violet ask surprise "you want to go to Halloween Town"? Ellie nodded and said "my uncle lives there and I never really see him at all". Jack turn and ask Ellie "what's your uncle's name"? Ellie respond "he's name is Donner, he's my mom's older brother". Jack thought a minute then remember Ellie's uncle. He sigh and said "I'm afraid he left a long time ago. He and his wife never return back to Halloween Town again". Ellie frowns and said "oh, I didn't know that". Jack nodded sadly. Randy said "that's funny he never let us know that he was leaving". Jack shrugs and said "maybe because they were in a hurry to get away from Oogie". Ellie ask "who's Oogie"? Violet said "he's the meanest monster around. But thankfully dad distory him". Jack nodded and said "and he will never return to Halloween Town again, not as well I'm alive".
Ellie sigh and look at Violet and said sadly "I guess this is a good bye". Violet sigh and said "yeah, I guess so". Ellie and Violet hugged each other. They let go and Jack and Sally took Violet back to the sleigh they came into town with. Violet was shock to see the sleigh and ask Jack "Dad, is this the same one you use before". Jack nodded and said "yes, this is the very one I use". Violet love of how it look and she also love the reindeer's all line up. Zero saw Violet and began to bark happily. Violet giggle and came to Zero to give him pets. "Good boy". Zero ears began to flap up and down and his nose began to grow brighter then ever before. Santa came up to Jack and said "you better get going, the storm is coming in and I don't think you want to be in it". Jack said "no, and thank you very much Sandy". Santa nodded and watch Jack, Sally, and Violet getting in the coffin sleigh. Jack, Sally, and Violet wave good bye to Santa and Jack got Zero and all the skeleton reindeers to fly up into the air and heading back to Halloween Town. Santa watch until he could not see the sleigh no more. Santa smiled and then went back inside before the storm hit.
Jack had a little trouble controlling the sleigh though the wind. Sally and Violet were sliding a little but was able to hold on to the sleigh. But then the wind blew Zero off balance and cause the reindeers and the sleigh to turn some. Jack help them to straighten the sleigh. But before Jack was able to straighten the sleigh in place that's when Violet almost fell off the sleigh. She was able to hold on into the end of her seat. Jack gave the rope to Sally and told her to handle it for a minute. He got up and ran to get hold of Violet. Violet was scare and unsure what to do. Jack grab hold of her and carry her back to where he sat at. He put Violet between him and Sally, so that she won't fall out again. Sally gave Jack the rope back and held Violet close to her. Jack made sure he was pretty close and tight to Violet so she won't be able to move around. Finally the wind died down and they were finally in Halloween Town, luckily Zero's bright nose help Jack see though the fog. Jack landed near Dr. Finklestein's lab. Igor saw them and help them put the sleigh away for them. Jack thank Igor for the help and he took Violet's hands and Sally's and the three of them headed home. Once back home Violet's head was hurting more. Violet sat down and she put her hands on her head. Jack and Sally saw their daughter and they were worried. Jack ask "Violet, are you all right"? Violet shook her head and look up and said "my head really hurts". Sally check Violet's forehead and felt that Violet had a bump on her head. Sally said "don't worry sweetie, I get an ice pack for your head". Sally went into the kitchen to get an ice pack. Jack got Violet to lay on the couch and resting. Violet said "dad, I really love Christmas Town and everyone seems nice there". Jack sigh and said "don't get any ideas of going back there either". Violet was about to ask when Sally came in and put a small orange ice pack on Violet's head. Violet felt a bit better when that ice pack was on her. Sally ask "how do you feel, honey"? Violet said "it's feels pretty good, my head isn't hurting so much now". Violet yawn and Jack smiled. Jack look up at Sally and said "we better get her to bed. We're leave the ice pack on encase". Sally agreed and Jack pick her up carefully not dropping the ice pack off of Violet's head. Jack carry Violet into her room and put Violet to bed. Violet yawned and said "dad, I love you". Jack smiled and kiss her on the forehead saying "I love you too my little princess". Jack watch Violet falling to sleep and when he knew that she was fast and deeply asleep he walk out of the room to join with his wife down stairs. Before leaving he turn around and smiled and said softly "tomorrow it will be a better day". Jack slowly close the door and walk though the hallway and down the stairs and sat in the living room with Sally. And the two of them fell asleep on the couch with Zero sleeping on Sally's lap.
