********************************Brief interlude****************************
Sally sat in the tower's window. Once again Dr. Finklestein condemned her to this wretched room. It hadn't been her fault his wheelchair had gotten tangled in the ragdoll's thread. Sally sighed and gazed once again out the small window. It was night and the full moon illuminated the bustling crowd below. Vampire and werewolves chatted animatedly while the trick-or-treaters, Lock, Shock, and Barrel, played pranks and practiced mischief upon the townsfolk. Sally caught a glimpse of Jack Skellington making his way through town with the mayor, who, at that precise moment, had his 'worried' face on. Sally was in love with the Pumpkin King. She recalled an old love song; Sally couldn't place where she had heard it. Perhaps one of Dr. Finklestein's wives had sung it, before he put their brains in a jar that is.
Sally began to sing in a low, sweet voice:
Alas my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously:
And I have loved you so long,
Delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight:
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.
I have been ready at your command,
To grant whatever you would crave
I have wagered my life and land,
Your love and goodwill for to have.
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
But still thou hadst it most readily,
Thy music still to play and sing,
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight:
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.
I have been ready at your command,
To grant whatever you would crave
I have wagered my life and land,
Your love and goodwill for to have.
Greensleeves now farewell, adieu
God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight:
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.
I have been ready at your command,
To grant whatever you would crave
I have wagered my life and land,
Your love and goodwill for to have.
Sally finished and wished among all other things, that Jack would notice her. All the sudden the Pumpkin King looked up and caught her glance in the window. He lifted one skeletal hand in a wave and smiled. Sally waved back with her own patched and sewn hand, showing a wide grin.
Suddenly, Sally's door burst open. It was Dr. Finklestein, Sally knew, without even turning around. The dull whining of his wheelchair aggravated her.
"Sally, was that you singing?" Dr. Finklestein demanded.
"Yes," Sally hissed, deeply unhappy her moment with Jack, however insignificant or small, had been broken.
"Very well, then. Now come along, there is work to be done. Jack needs me to design a new jack-in-the-box that spits blood and I need supplies. Quickly, quickly!"
Sally groaned, but followed the doctor out of the small room.
AN: Hello fellow Nightmare Before Christmas fans! Tell me what you think of this interlude. Maybe I'll write some more in between songs if I hear good things. A special thanks to PerryRocks-Wolf Warrior and pretty ragdoll for reviewing! Thanks guys!
