Me: Hey, guys. Here's chapter four to CatDog and the Nightmare Before Christmas. You know, yesterday I went to the fair.

Cat: Really? The fair can be fun if you aren't afraid of heights like me.

Dog: Good thing you aren't. Did you have fun?

Me: Yes. I made a new friend. Her name was Anya and she had two brothers. Like all kids, she really liked me. I also saw some of my friends from school, Sam and Sydney. I also thought I saw my friend, Alisha, from school. Anyway, here's chapter four.

Back in town, Jack was teaching the Halloween Town band how to play "Jingle Bells". Cat wasn't impressed about how the band did. It sounded off key.
"Fantastic. Practice on that and we'll be in great shape," Jack said as Sally came. "Sally, I need your help more than anyone's."
"You certainly do, Jack," Sally said. "I had the most terrible vision."
"Yes. Lola saw it, too, Jack," Cat said.
"That's splendid," Jack said.
"No. It was about your Christmas," Sally said. "There was smoke and fire!"
"That's not my Christmas," Jack said. "My Christmas is filled with laughter and joy and this...my Sandy Claws outfit. I want you to make it."
"Jack, please listen to me," Sally said. "It's going to be a disaster."
"How could it be?" Jack asked. "Just follow the pattern. This part's red, the trim is white."
"It's a mistake, Jack," Sally said. But Jack still won't listen. He sent Sally to do her job. Dog felt bad for Sally as she walked away to get her sewing kit. As Jack was showing the Behemoth a nutcracker, Lock Shock and Barrel returned. Lola came to CatDog and said she tricked the trio into going the wrong door to save Santa Clause. When the trio opened the bag, the Easter Bunny came out. Behemoth shouted "BUNNY!", which scared the bunny.
"Not Sandy Claws! Take him back!" Jack yelled.
"We followed your instructions," Lock said.
"We went through the door," Barrel said.
"Which door? There's more than one. Sandy Claws is behind the door shaped like this," Jack said and took out a cookie shaped like Christmas tree."
"I told you that bird was wrong!" Shock said, shaking Lock violently. The trio started to fight. So to calm them down, Jack made a scary face and a loud scream. This scared not just the trio, but CatDog and Lola as well. Jack apologized to the bunny and told the trio to return the bunny back. So the trio went back to the Hinterlands. Then Jack turned to CatDog and Lola, who were still shaken from Jack's scare.
"Sorry about that. That's what I do to calm anyone down," Jack said.
"You better not do that if Dog and I argue," Cat mumbled, angrily.

Later that day, everyone was getting ready for Christmas. Lola was with Sally, feeling bad for her. As the citizens did their jobs, they began to sing.
Citizens: This time. This time.
Ghosts: Making Christmas.
Accordion Player: Making Christmas.
Mayor: Making Christmas, Making Christmas is so fine.
Citizens: It's ours this time and won't the children be surprised. It's ours this time.
Corpse Kid: Making Christmas.
Mummy: Making Christmas.
Corpse Kid and Mummy: Making Christmas.
Witches: Time to give them something fun they'll talk about for years to come.
Citizens: Let's have a cheer from everyone.
Devil: It's time to party.
Vampires: Making Christmas, making Christmas. Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice with spider legs and pretty bows.
Wilted Winged Demon: It's ours this time.
Corpse Dad, Wolf Man and Devil: All together, that and this with all our tricks we're making Christmas time.
Wolf Man: Here comes Jack and CatDog.
Jack and CatDog came out of Jack's house. Cat wasn't happy about what Jack is doing while Dog was having a good time. Jack began to sing along.
Jack: I don't believe what's happening to me. My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies! Hee hee hee hee!"
Harlequin Demon: Won't they impressed I am a genius. See how I transformed this old rat into a most delightful hat.
Jack: Hm...my compliments from me to you on this your most intriguing hat. Consider though this substitute, a bat in place of this old rat. Huh, no, no, no that's all wrong. This thing will never make a present. It's been dead for much too long. Try something fresher, something pleasant. Try again, don't give up.
3 Hydes and Dog: All together, that and this with all our tricks we're making Christmas time.
"Dog, how can you have a good time when everyone is really messing up!" Cat yelled.
"Come on, Cat. This could be fun," Dog said. "Just let everyone do their jobs."
"Fine. But if anything bad happens during Christmas Eve, I'm so going to yell at Jack," Cat said.
"Oh, Sally, I hope this premonition never comes true," Lola said.
"Me, too, Lola. I hope Jack will be okay," Sally said. After a few months, Christmas was almost here. Cat was still letting Jack do his fun. So he joined the song with Dog and Jack.
Citizens: This time. This time.
Jack and CatDog: IT'S OURS!
Citizens: Making Christmas, making Christmas. La, la, la. It's almost here and we can't wait, so ring the bells and celebrate. Cause when the full moon starts to climb we'll all sing out.
Jack and CatDog: IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME! Hee hee hee hee!

In Christmas Town, Santa was going over his naughty/nice list. Then the doorbell rang. It was Lock, Shock and Barrel, and they weren't alone.
"Trick-or-treat," the kids said. Then they caught Santa in a bag.

Back in Halloween Town, Sally was sewing the finishing touches on Jack's Santa Clause suit.
"You don't look like yourself, Jack. Not at all," Sally said.
"Isn't that wonderful? It couldn't be more wonderful," Jack said.
"But you're the Pumpkin King," Lola said, taking out Jack's picture.
"Not anymore," Jack said, breaking the picture with his knee. "I feel so much better now." Cat did a face palm. Sally said she knew Jack was missing something. But Jack thought it had something to do with his costume. Then voices were heard. It was Lock, Shock and Barrel and their bag was bigger than usual. They said they caught Santa Clause.
"He sure is big, Jack," Barrel said.
"And heavy," Shock said. "So we got help."
"That's right!" a big, fat dog said and pulled open the bag.
"GREASERS!" CatDog yelled.
"Sandy Claws, in person. What a pleasure to meet you," Jack said, and shook Santa's hand. "Why, you have hands. You don't have claws at all."
"What? Where am I?" Santa asked.
"Surprised, aren't you? I knew you would be," Jack said. "You don't have another worry about Christmas this year. Consider this a vacation, Sandy. A reward, it's your turn to take it easy."
"But there must be some mistake," Santa said.
"See that he's comfortable," Jack said. "Just a second, fellas. Of course, that's what I'm missing. Thanks." So Lock, Shock and Barrel and the Greasers went to the tree house. Sally and Lola were really worried. Then Sally had an idea.
"What is it, Sally?" Lola asked.
"I have just the solution to this. Follow me," Sally said.
"Jack, are you insane?" Cat yelled. "Those three dogs who were with Lock, Shock and Barrel were the Greasers, the guys who love to pound us!"
"They could pound us here, too!" Dog yelled.
"Don't worry. Everything's fine," Jack said.

In Dr. Finkelstein's lab, Sally took out a bottle. It was labeled "fog juice".
"What is this, Sally?" Lola asked.
"It's fog juice, Lola," Sally said. "If I pour this in the fountain, it will create a thick fog. This should stop Jack."
"Clever thinking, Sally," Lola said. Then they heard a noise coming from the doctor's lab. He was creating some kind of creature who had half his brain. This grossed Lola out. So they went back to the town square.

At the tree house, Lock, Shock and Barrel and the Greasers dragged Santa down the pipe leading to Oogie Boogie's lair. They tried to push Santa down but the Greasers helped push him down. When Santa reached the lair, strange lights came on. Then a green burlap sack appeared and sang.
Oogie Boogie: Well, well, well. What have we here? Sandy Claws huh? Ooh, I'm really scared. So you're the one everybody's talking about. Ah ha ha ha! You're joking, you're joking. I can't believe my eyes. You're joking me, you've gotta be. This can't be the right guy. He's ancient, he's ugly. I don't know which is worse. I might just split a seem now if I don't die laughing first. When Mr. Oogie Boogie says there's trouble close at hand, you better pay attention now 'cause I'm the boogie man. And you aren't shaken, there's something very wrong. 'Cause this may be the last time you hear the boogie song. Whoa!
Skeletons: Whoa!
Oogie Boogie: Whoa!
Skeletons: Whoa!
Oogie Boogie: Whoa!
Bats: Whoa!
Oogie Boogie: I'm the Oogie Boogie man.
Santa Clause: Release me now or you must face the dire consequences. The children are expecting me, so please come to your senses.
Oogie Boogie: Ha! You're joking, you're joking. I can't believe my ears. Would someone shut this fella up. I'm drowning in my tears. It's funny, I'm laughing. You really are too much. And now with your permission, I'm going to do my stuff.
Santa Clause: What are you going to do?
Oogie Boogie: I'm going to do the best I can. WHOA! The sound of rolling dice to me is music in the air. 'Cause I'm a gambling boogie man and though I don't play fair. It's much more fun I must confess with lives on the line. Not mine of course, but yours, old boy. Now that'll be just fine.
Santa Clause: Release me fast or you will have to answer for this heinous act.
Oogie Boogie: Oh brother. Your something. You put me in a spin. You aren't comprehending the position that you're in. It's hopeless, you're finished. You haven't got a prayer. 'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie and you ain't going nowhere.

Me: Uh oh! Looks like Lock, Shock and Barrel have teamed up with the Greasers.

Cat: Who would've see that coming? And it seems they want to help the three kids ruin Christmas.

Dog: Can't let that happen, huh, Em. Em? Are you okay?

Me: Yeah. I'm just in pain from moving around from the fair yesterday. Anyway, don't forget to review.
