Corpse... groom?? (Jack Skellington x Victor Van Dort x daughter! reader)

Chapter 1; Finding Halloween Town

(Author's note; Victor is aged up here, since in the movie he was 20. He's late 30 something here.)

  It was late at night. And Victor couldn't get his ex-wife out of his head. He sacrificed a lot for Victoria, but there wasn't any love. He didn't feel attracted to her in any way. They were both pressured to get married to each other. Victor just wasn't sure this was the right move; his parents, Victoria, and her parents were disappointed in him. He had everything he needed in front of him. But it was all forced. He wasn't sure what he wanted exactly.

   He took a late night walk, into the forest with his dog, Scraps. He was walking around in thought. He didn't realize what time it was, or how far he walked. Scraps barked at Victor to get his attention. He looked up, and saw  trees in a circle formation. What was odd, is that each tree had a door, indicating a different holiday.

   "How..... Peculiar... Is this real?" He said out loud to himself. The pumpkin one was the closest to him, and he opened the door. Inside was darkness, but there was a suction. Scraps got into look and was sucked inside. "Scraps! Wait!" Victor hesitated to go inside. What was beyond this door? He sighed. He had to get his dog. He jumped in after him.

   Victor kept falling, and eventually stopped. He was somewhere dark, and grim. He called out for Scraps, and he brought another dog with him. A ghost dog. Victor wasn't phased. I mean he nearly married a zombie. He bent down towards the little ghost dog and saw his name tag. "Zero.... Hey Zero! Such a good boy!". In the distance, a young girl, who was a ghost, voice could be heard. She was looking for Zero. "Zero! Zero!". She found Victor and Zero. "Zero! There you are! Don't run off again, okay? Jack was really worried about you!" The girl didn't notice Victor until she stood up. "Oh, hi! Are you.... New to Halloween town? I've never seen you around before. My name is Y/N." Victor was rather surprised to see a ghost. Yeah he has seen one before but... It shocks him. "A pleasure to meet you, Y/N. I'm Victor. Yes, I came to save my dog, Scraps. I should... Be going now" He clearly wasn't a fan of the grim world. Or the ghost girl. "Be going where? Are you from a different Holiday? You look like you'd belong here". "I'm from... London. I should be going." Y/N titled her head in confusion. "London? Oh! No, you can't really go back home. There isn't a way back"

   Victor panicked for a moment. He couldn't be stuck in this weird place! "So.... I'm here forever?" Y/N thought for a moment, and an idea popped into her head. "Oh! Maybe someone can help you get back home. My dad, Jack. The Pumpkin King. He knows those doors better than anyone" she pointed to the trees with the doors. Victor sighed out of relief. "Okay, please take me to see the Pumpkin King". "Will do!" Y/N said, more than happy to help.

   The pair walked to Jack's house. "So... This is your dad right? And he's the pumpkin king? So that would make you the pumpkin princess?" Victor asked, making conversation, so the walk didn't feel awkward. Y/N nodded. "Yup! I just don't wear anything fancy when I'm walking." Victor's eyes widened and he apologized. Sure... Ghost girl is a bit weird, but she's still royalty. "Do pardon my manners, I-" Y/N cut him off. "No need for the formalities, Victor! I'm fine with being treated like a regular person. So does my dad, you don't need to bow or anything". "Ah, I see. You're very kind for a...?" He gestured for Y/N to tell her age. "11 year old! Well... I've been 11 for years. Ghosts don't age. Neither does my dad... Well kinda. He doesn't change and he can't die. He's like thousands of years old! But don't be intimidated. Jack is really sweet.... Let me guess your age. 50?" Victor nearly cried. "I look 50?? I'm 37". Y/N apologized "I am.... So sorry! But if it makes you feel better, you look a lot younger than the citizens here". They entered Halloween town and Victor looked at the citizens. Witches, vampires, werewolves.... Yeah. He felt normal here. This place was a freak show to him. Seeing the dead is different, but Halloween monsters? That's different.

   Victor followed Y/N to a large house the towered over them. She knocked on it and Jack opened it. "Oh, Y/N, you had me worried! I'm glad you back home, my little ghost!" Jack picked Y/N up and kissed her cheek. "Daaaaaadd! Don't embarrass me in front of Victor!" Jack was puzzled. "Whos-" He met eyes with Victor. "He needs your help dad. He's not supposed to be here and wants to go back home!" Y/N explained. Victor waved shyly at Jack. Jack was blushing for a moment. He thought Victor was ... Kind of cute.
