Chapter 5

Chapter 5, it is here! This chapter is pure Jally fluff. Thanks to everyone who reads, favorites, and reviews not just this story, but all of my stories! Let there be a story!

On February 13, one day before the royal wedding, Sally was in her bedroom putting finishing touches on her wedding gown she made herself.

Her dress was simple, off-white and sweet-heart styled, with black lace trimming the top and hem, and black ribbons holding the corset-like top together in the back. Her veil was black with tiny bejeweled bats weighing it down. It all sat on a wire mannequin, ready for the next day.

Sally stood back and admired her work. Her loved the way the dress turned out, she hoped that Jack would too.

And speaking of our skeleton friend . . .

Jack snuck his way through the back roads of town to get to his bride's house without being seen. How scandalous it would be if he was seen sneaking to her home the day before their wedding!

Sally moved in with Jack after the first of the year, but giving that their wedding was the next day, they decided that Sally could get ready at Dr. Finklestein and Jewel's home, while Jack got ready at their home. They could surprise each other at the wedding.

He finally made it to the house, outside Sally's bedroom window. He took his skeletal fingers and dug in between the bricks of the house and began to climb to the second story.

Back to Sally…

Sally continued to admire her dress, and then saw the mess she made tending to it. She began to clear away access black lace, when she heard a soft tapping on her window. She turned around and smiled at what she saw.

Jack grinned at her as she made her way to the window to unlock it. He moved aside so he wouldn't get knocked down when Sally opened the window. He swung through the window, into her room and picked her up off her feet, twirling her in the air.

Sally tried her best to muffle her giggles of bliss, clinging to the lapels of Jack's tailcoat. She was finally let down and her lips were caught in a kiss by the Pumpkin King. When they parted, Sally stroked the side of his skull with her hand, "You know it's very bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, don't you?" she whispered to him.

Jack chuckled and nuzzled his forehead against hers, "As long as I'm with you, I'll never be unlucky. And besides, I know I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if I didn't get to see my God sent angel one more time before our wedding."

They stood there in silence, but it wasn't awkward silence. It was just 'enjoying being in each other's arms' silence.

"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" he asked, stroking her red hair.

"Excited is more like it," she responded with a blush, "More than a year ago, I could only dream about the day we would get married. You give me a reason for even existing. I would be nothing without you…"

Jack raised his hand up to her face, gently brushing the right stitch near her mouth with his thumb, "No, Sally. I would be nothing without you. I was so lonely before, but then I discovered my true feelings for you." He paused for a moment, "I was so oblivious of my feelings towards you, and yours towards me. I feel like a complete monster for ignoring you all that time. My love, can you ever forgive me?"

Sally rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek, "You know that I forgive you. This isn't the first time we've talked about this. And it doesn't matter now; I love you and you love me. Tomorrow we're getting married and we're going to live the rest of our lives happy and together." She nuzzled her head into his chest.

He smiled, realizing Sally was right and hugged her tighter to him, kissing the top of her head, "I do love you, Sally. Hearing your voice, or even hearing your name brought up into conversation brings me relief and joy. I'm so glad I can officially call you my queen." He glanced over to the side and saw Sally's dress on the wire mannequin, "Is that your dress?"

Sally pulled her head up from his chest and smiled, "Yes, do you like it?"

They walked over to admire the dress at a closer angle. Jack reached his hand out and fiddled with one of the bejeweled bats hanging from the veil, "It's lovely. But it will look even better on you tomorrow." He said with a wink. He saw the blush return to Sally's cheeks. He chuckled and kissed her forehead, "It's getting late, and I should let you get your rest. Big today tomorrow."

She nodded, and they walked over to the window. Jack flung himself outside the window, hanging to the railing for support. He hung there and just gazed at Sally.

"Do you need something?" Sally said with a grin.

He grinned back, "A kiss from my Pumpkin Queen would be nice."

Sally leaned against the railing and kissed the bony lips of her Pumpkin King. She giggled when they parted, "Good night, Jack."

"Good night, Sally. I love you." And he began to climb down.

She blew kisses at him as he walked off of the Finklestein's property, he blowing kisses at her as well. It reminded them both of the night that Jack proposed to Sally, so much bliss and excitement!

Sally backed away from the window, after Jack was out of sight. She placed her hands over her artificial heart and collapsed on the bed with a lovesick grin on her face.
