(Merida's POV)

I sit around my bedroom inside the Interior. One word: Boooooooooooooooooooored!! Okay, now one more: Lonely. Unless you count the little townspeople running around and my pet bear cub, Sagittarius. I plop down on my bed. Sagittarius hops on and licks my face.

"Sagi!!"
I chortle. He snorts at me, a sign that he's hungry.

"Alright, I'll get you something to eat from the vending machine."
I huff, getting off the bed. I bought a Gravity Falls vending machine decoration a while back so I could have something to eat. I nearly trip over a tennis player getting there. I grab a bag of peanuts and dump the food in a bowl sitting by my nightstand. I heard a booming sound coming from outside. I threw the empty bag away and ran outside. A gray and orange spiraling comet was heading straight for us!! The comet crashed down right on the racetrack. I jump down to investigate. I crouch down and sneak towards the crash site. There was a lot of smoke so it was hard to see. My eyes stung and my lungs felt like they were on fire. I started to cough. I heard another set of coughs. They weren't mine. I tripped on something and rolled onto my stomach. I lifted my head, only to be face-to-face with........ A SKELETON!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed with fear and, surprisingly, so did the skeleton. I start to scoot back wildly. The smoke started to clear, making it easier to get a good look at the skeleton. I'm assuming "he" had on a black pinstripe suit with black shoes and a tie lined with stripes similar to the vertical ones on his suit. The skeleton was really skinny and his head was more round than a normal skull. His eye sockets were wide with terror, as if they were to substitute his lack of human eyes. The skeleton scrambled to his feet. I jumped up and pulled out my bow, aiming the arrow at the skeleton.

"Don't do anythin' you'll regret...."
I growled menacingly. He put his thin, bony hands up in surrender.

"W-W-What's going on?!?! Where a-am I?!?!"
The skeleton panicked frantically, fright written all over his face. I felt like I was starting to soften a little. Cautiously, I lowered my bow and arrow, sheathing them. The skeleton let his long arms dangle and sighs with relief, relaxing.

"I'm Merida, Princess of DunBroch. Do ya even have a name?"
I asked, extending my hand to greet the skeleton.

"Yes, I'm Jack Skelington. Where I'm from, I'm also called the Pumpkin King."
He said. Jack took my hand and shook it.

"Royalty, eh? Looks like there's one thing we've already got in common."
I chuckled.

"Well then....... Milady."
Jack smirked with a bow and a regal voice at the end.

"Kind sir."
I curtsied dramatically. A few snickers escaped our throats. We couldn't hold it in any longer and start laughing uncontrollably. I started rolling on the ground, gripping my stomach. We catch our breaths and Jack helps me up. It was almost 11 o'clock.

"We'd better go inside. I guess you can stay in the Interior with me."
I stretched my arms.

"Interior?"
Jack cocked his head to the side.

"It's where I live. Follow me. I'll set up your room inside."
I explained. I led him up the ladder to the Interior door. We step inside and Jack looks around in awe.

"This place is well decorated!"
He complimented.

"Thanks. Wait here. This'll seem weird."
I warned. I face my bedroom door, close my eyes and sigh. Sagittarius runs out of the room. I go into spark mode. I move my bedroom to the side and put a 4-Door room in its place. I connect my bedroom to one of the empty doors, than add Jack's room and his bed. I match the walls, floor, and trim to the ones in the lobby. I exit spark mode and turn towards Jack, a shocked look on his face.

"What just--"

"It's called spark mode. It's what you do when you want to edit the Toy Box, decorate your Interior, or add new rooms."
I rubbed my eyes sleepily. Sagittarius ran into my room and fell asleep on the rug under my bed.

"Thanks for making my room, Merida. See you in the morning."
Jack yawned and walks into his room and closes his door. I walk into my room, change into my nightgown and go to bed. That night, I slept pretty well. Knowing that I'm not the only one in the Toy Box.
