The Death Assassins Life (Nightmare Before Christmas Fanfic)

Chapter Thirteen (Jack's POV)

I woke up to the sound of that stupid rooster again! Any other day that would be fine, but Angel and I had a late night last night. She needs her rest and I'm pretty sure that damn rooster just messed that up! I hope she didn't wake up but i guess I should go see. I crept to her room trying to be as quiet as possible, just in case she didn't wake up.

What I saw when i cracked the door was almost comical so I swung open the door all the way. I guess she still didn't see me cause she just carried on with what she was doing. I watched her for a while until she turned to me and almost fell to the floor in surprise.

"Jack! Oh um hey. Soooo how long have you been standing there?" she asked.

I chuckled slightly as i said "A little early for dancing don't you think?"

She blushed slightly and looked down. She surprised me by saying "Sorry did I wake you up with the noise?"

"No, of course not. I didn't even know you were up until I came in. I didn't hear any noise even when I was right outside your door."

"Wow, I never thought you'd be one to just walk into my room. Besides it's never too early to enjoy the most perfect present you ever got. Honestly Jack! How did you get my Ipod and charger?"

I shook my head no slightly and said "That is for me to know and for you to wonder about, besides you were dressed anyway so it doesn't matter right? Come on lets go make breakfast."

We made French toast, well more like she did. She said that I had to try her recipe so I had to let her cook. It was really good but she wouldn't tell me what she added to it. After breakfast I insisted on doing the dishes, so she played with zero.She was rolling around and swatting at him like any other dog.

I have the whole day planned out, we would visit all the holiday leaders. We would eat lunch in one of the other holidays. If all goes well, we should be back here before dinner time. For dinner I had a romantic dinner for two set up at diana's new high class restaurant she opened a few days ago, at 6pm. I had already told her that we may be a little late and she said that was fine.

After I was done with the dishes I hung my head in my hands, I was so tired it was insane! I didn't hear her walk up, so she startled me a little bit when she asked me "Jack are you okay?"

Oh my god! I must have jumped 4 foot in the air. It took me a minute to get over it but eventually I said " Yeah, im just tired but I cant go back to sleep because we are actually on a schedule."

"Okay then let's make the best of it." I didnt move. "Jack look at me." I still didn't move. I was just so feaking tired! "Jack, why wont you look at me?" I finally looked up at her only for her to throw a pillow at me. It hit my chest and I could tell it was more of a toss with how strong she was.

I threw it back at her and she jumped up onto the couch to move out of the way. Before I knew it we were having an all out pillow fight. Even running around and playing with her I felt so much better. It was like she made all the bad things and feelings go away. I couldn't help but feel better when I was around her.

After we had cleaned up and picked up all the things we knocked over, we left for the holiday doors. We had to leave Zero at home because we wouldn't be able to keep an eye on him. The whole walk there we played eye spy and talked about whatever we could think of. When we arrived we walked to the center and i asked "Which one first?"

She seemed to really think about it for a minute before she said "Lets save my favorite for last, so anything but Christmas!"
