I don't own "Nightmare before Christmas"
Answer to "Arthur caribinbo's" question, "Could you answer one question? Is "Samantha" sally?" She's not Sally, she was going to be...but in the end, I decided to just base Samantha off of Sally.
Didn't really edit this chapter much just made it easier to read.

Samantha and Aiden's home

Halloween day

"And...done!" My mother grinned after she finished doing my makeup, "Go see how you look, little puppet."

I got up and walked over to the full length mirror on my closet door, I looked at the makeup my mother put on me, to make me look like a broken puppet, before my mom had done the makeup, she took an old dress I no longer wore and several old ripped up shirts, making a patchwork dress. The dress was pretty good, despite the fact that it had been a last minute project.

"I think I look more like a broken doll then puppet."

My mom laughed, "True, but when you were younger you looked like a puppet. You were so cute then...so, what are your new plans for tonight?"

"I guess I'll just walk around the neighborhood for a bit, to see the decorations, then come home and pass out candy."

"Alright sweetie, have fun and be safe. Make sure to take your cell phone with you."

I pulled on my knee length boots before grabbing my phone,

"Right, see you later mom."

I said as I walked down the stairs, then outside, closing the door behind me. I looked up and down the street, children and parents were already out for some trick-or-treating. I sighed, I wasn't making a mistake celebrating this holiday...was I?

Halloween Night

"Alright, everything is in place. Halloween has started! Let's begin!"

The mayor said to the halloween town folk, which made everyone cheer before the ran off in different directions. I quickly stopped Oogie's Boys, before the had a chance to go,

"Wait a minute you three." Lock, Shock, and Barrel looked to me,

"What is it Jack?" "Got a mission for us, Jack?" "We can do it, Jack!"

I nodded, these three were best suited to help me, after all, Oogie boogie was no longer around(we still referred to them as Oogie's boys though, out of habit), once again due to that Christmas fiasco, I felt I could trust them with more missions, especially this one.

"There is someone I'm looking for, A human girl named Aiden, she's around the age of 17. Last time I saw her she was dressed as a broken puppet, she might dress similar to that this year. But do NOT hurt her. Do you understand me?"

The trio nodded,

"Yes, JAck!" "Got it, Jack!" "Can we still trick-or-treat and play tricks on people, Jack?"

"Of course, but please due it in this neighborhood, that's where she might be. Once you find her, one of you come find me."

"We'll find her Jack! But...Why are we looking for her?"

Barrel hit Lock, "That's not our business! We got a mission from Jack, we do the mission, and Jack will like us more!"

"I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else, not. A. Soul."

"Okay!" "Tell us please!" "Yea! We promise not to tell ANYONE!"

"Alright then, when I was alive I had a family...Aiden is my daughter."

All three of them gasped

"You had a family, Jack?!" "Of course he did, why wouldn't he?" "It seems weird to me, that's all..." "Don't worry Jack! We'll find Aiden!"

"Good, you can go now."

"Alright, we'll be back Jack!" "We wont disappoint you, Jack!"

Halloween Night

I sighed as I walked down the street, it was a nice night and the decorations were great, but I still felt sad. I decided to take a page from mom's book and forced a smile. Maybe it would help me get into a better mood. As I walked to the end of the street, three children walked up to me, each wearing a mask, A witch, a devil, and a skeleton.

"Is this her? Have we found her?" "Maybe, He did say that she dressed up as a puppet one year, this year she's a doll?" "I think this is her!"

The three looked at me, and I felt creeped out,

"Who said I had dressed as a puppet one year? And how do they know this?"

"It must be her! She said she was a puppet one year!" "Should we ask her name?" "Are you Aiden?"

I stared at them, who were these kids?

"How do you know my name?"

They cheered, "We found her!" "Jack will be happy!"

"TRICK OR TREAT!"

They all suddenly shouted as they threw a bag over my head and quickly tied it shut. Which confused me, how in the hell had three kids half the size of me managed to kidnap me in under three seconds?

"Wait, Jack said not to hurt her. Be careful idiot!"

I hear the girl who had the witch mask shout at the others, fallowed by a slapping noise.

"Ow! Did you hafta hit me? I'll be more careful! Gosh."

"Alright, let's go find Jack!"

I felt them pick me up,

"Wait! Who's Jack?"

Sense that's who they were taking me to, I should at lest find out who he was.

"Jack, he's the pumpkin king!"

"Yea, and he sent us on a mission to find you!"

"We don't wanna make Jack upset! He can get scary when he' mad!"

Jack the pumpkin king? The 'King of Halloween? Was this a joke? A prank? And of coarse, only I could manage to be kidnaped by three crazy kids on the Halloween I decided to give go out again.

Wait, my cell phone! I somehow managed to get my cell out of my pocket...and it was dead...of course it was. Could this night get any weirder? Or worse?
