Me: Hey, guys. Here's the final chapter to CatDog and the Nightmare Before Christmas. I still have an extra ending to the story when CatDog comes home.

Cat: And I guess it's time we tell you.

Dog: We tell Mervis and Dunglap about what happened. They believe us and ask to go with us the next time we visit.

Me: Right. It's perfect timing to talk about anyway because here's the chapter. Enjoy!


"You wait until Jack hears about this!" Sally yelled.
"By the time he's through with you, you'll be lucky if you..." Lola said.
"The King of Halloween has been blown to smithereens," the Mayor said from his megaphone. "Skeleton Jack is now a pile of dust."
"Sally, you don't think..." Lola said, sadly. With Jack, CatDog and Zero, they were heading to town to find Santa Clause. Zero was helping them with his nose. Santa was in Oogie Boogie's lair with Sally and Lola. So Jack and CatDog went down into the lair.
"Seven! Looks like it's Oogie's turn to boogie now," Oogie said. "One, two, three, four five six seven!"
"This can't be happening," Santa said.
"Ashes to ashes and dust to dust," Oogie said. "Ooh, I'm feeling weak...WITH HUNGER! One more roll of the dice oughta do it. Ha ha ha! What? Snake eyes! Argh! Eleven! Ha ha ha! Looks like I've won the jackpot. Bye bye, doll face, bird brain, and sand man." But before Sally, Lola and Santa could fall into the fire pit, Jack and CatDog saved them. Oogie saw that the three didn't fall into the pit and turned the platform. And there was Jack and CatDog with mad looks on their faces.
"Hello, Oogie," Jack said.
"J-J-J-Jack? But they you and your friends were dead," Oogie said. "You must be...DOUBLE DEAD!" He pressed a switch, causing the platform to spin and a bunch of cards with swords came to life. The blades started spinning but Jack and CatDog got away from the swords. Then Oogie pulled a lever, creating robot skeleton cowboys with guns. Jack jumped onto the cowboys' arms with CatDog behind his back. Then a saw came and almost hit Jack. But luckily, Sally and Lola warned Jack and CatDog in time, making Jack jump away from the saw. Then Oogie jumped away on the spider 8-ball.
"SO LONG, JACK! HA HA HA HA!" Oogie laughed.
"How dare you treat our friends so SHAMEFULLY!" Jack and CatDog yelled. They pulled a loose thread on Oogie's sack, causing the sack to break off. Oogie was made of nothing but bugs. His last words were
"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! MY BUGS! MY BUGS!" Then his bugs scattered until the main bug was left. Santa stepped on the bug. Jack went to apologize to Santa.
"Forgive me, Mr. Claws," Jack said. "I'm afraid I made a terrible mess of your holiday."
"Bumpy sleigh ride, Jack?" Santa asked. "The next time you get the urge to take over someone else's holiday, I'd listen to her. She's the only one who makes any sense around this insane asylum."
"I agree, Santa," Cat said. "If Jack ever does this again, I'll remind him to listen to Sally."
"I hope there's still time," Jack said.
"To fix Christmas? Of course there is," Santa said. "I'm Santa Clause." So he went to restore Christmas. Sally came to Jack with a smile.
"He'll fix things, Jack. He knows what to do," Sally said.
"How did you get down here, Sally?" Jack asked.
"Well I was trying to...well I wanted to...to," Sally said.
"To...help Jack?" Cat asked, understanding Sally's feelings.
"Well I couldn't let him just..." Sally said.
"Sally, I can't believe I never realized that you..." Jack said. But he was cut off when a bright light came out of nowhere. It was Lock, Shock, Barrel and the Greasers with the Mayor.
"Here he is," Barrel said.
"Alive," Lock said.
"Just like we said," Shock said.
"Yeah. We saw him with our own two eyes," Cliff said.
"And our eyes never lie," Shriek said.
"Grab a hold, my boy," the Mayor said. Then he tossed a rope. So Jack, Sally, CatDog and Lola grabbed onto the rope and went back to town.

Back in town, everyone was asleep when the heard honking. It was the Mayor's car and Jack, Sally, CatDog and Lola were in the car while Lock, Shock, Barrel and the Greasers on the top. Everyone started to sing.
Citizens: Jack's okay and he's back okay. He's alright. Let's shout, make a fuss, scream it out! Wee! Jack is back now everyone sing, in our town of Halloween.
"It's great to be home," Jack said.
"Ho, ho, ho! Happy Halloween!" Santa Clause's voice was heard.
"Merry Christmas!" Jack and CatDog called, waving. Then snow was falling from the sky. Everyone continued to sing.
Corpse Kid: What's this?
Harlequin Demon: What's this?
Hyde 1: I haven't got a clue.
Citizens: What's this?
Clown: But it's completely new.
Citizens: What's this?
Wolf Man: Must be a Christmas thing.
Citizens: What's this?
Mayor: It's really very strange.
But everyone started to play in the snow. Sally picked a dead flower. Then everyone continued to sing.
Citizens: This is Halloween. Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. What's this? What's this?
The Lock, Shock and Barrel hit Jack with a snowball. CatDog and Lola laughed and Jack did, too. Then Jack saw Sally heading into the graveyard.
"Well, Jack. I think it's time we should go home now," Cat said.
"Yeah. We'll miss you," Dog said. "But we'll see you again someday."
"Good idea, CatDog," Lola said. "Maybe bring Mervis and Dunglap."
"Sounds like a plan," Jack said. "It would be nice to see your friends." So CatDog, Lola and the Greasers left back to Nearberg. But before they left, they saw someone on top of Spiral Hill. It was Sally.
"What's she doing up there," Cliff asked.
"It looks like she is thinking," Shriek said.
"Wait. Look. There's Jack," Cat said. "I think...he's singing."
"To her? Does he...love her?" Dog asked. So everyone listened to Jack.
Jack: My dearest friend, if you don't mind. I'd like to join you by your side, where we can gaze into the stars.
Jack and Sally: And sit together, now and forever. For it is plain, as anyone can see. We're simply meant to be.
Then Jack and Sally kissed under the full moon. Everyone was touched to see this.
"Oh...that's so sweet," Dog said.
"Yes. All that sweet stuff," Cliff said. "Now let's go right now!" So they went back to Nearberg. CatDog couldn't wait to tell Mervis and Dunglap about their adventure.

"So that's what happened?" Mervis said.
"That sounds exciting," Dunglap said. "I wish we were there."
"Well, we did promise to come back," Cat said.
"Hey, Winslow, you want to with us to Halloween Town?" Dog asked.
"What are you nuts?" Winslow said, blurting out his catch phrase. "I don't want to see anything scary after the vampire tick thing years ago." Cat didn't care due to hating Winslow for so long.


Me: Well, this one is over. But I'll make a sequel. Don't you all enjoy sequels?

Cat: I do. And the next story will take place during Oogie's Revenge.

Dog: So we get to see what happens in that game. I can't wait.

Me: Me either, Dog. Don't forget to review.
