After awhile, you finally made it back to the town to see everyone standing around enjoying the music and talking to each other about how excited they were for Christmas to start. You tried looking for Jack but he was nowhere in sight. Suddenly the coffin on the makeshift sleigh that the monsters made opened up to reveal Jack in his suit ready to take off. You were about to call out his name but then remembered you had something stored in your pocket.
Fog juice.
The fountain was next to you so you got down and carefully poured all of the juice into the fountain. You didn't know how much fog it would produce but if you pour the whole thing in it, it might give enough time to stop Jack to warn him of Oogie Boogie. The mayor got up on the podium by the sleigh and pulled out a piece of paper. "Think of us as you soar triumphantly through the sky outshining every star. Your silhouette a dark blot on the moon, you who are our pride, you who are our glory, you who have frightened billions into an early grave".
You looked over and saw that the fog was building and was getting worse. "Who have eh, devastated the souls of the living..."
"Oh no! We can't take off in this! The reindeer can't see an inch in front of their noses". You sighed deeply knowing that now he can't leave. "This fog's as thick as, as-" the vampires said but were cut off by the cyclops, "Jelly brains".
"Thicker" the Vampires exclaimed. Jack sat down on his sleigh with a long sad face and said, "There go all of my hopes, my precious plans, my glorious dreams". One of the other monster children started to cry and said, "There goes Xmas". You were about to talk to Jack but were cut off by Zero barking at Jack to get his attention. "No Zero, down boy". Jack looked up and said, "My, what a brilliant nose you have. The better to light my way! To the head of the team, Zero"!
Oh no!
Zero flew to the front of the reindeer with his bright red nose and before you could stop Jack, he whipped his whip and started to fly away. "We're off"!
"Wait Jack, no" you said trying to stop him but he wasn't listening. Jack then flies out of sight as the monsters cheering and Jack could be heard saying "ho ho ha ha ha". You felt horrible about all of this and as you walked away, you said, "Good bye Jack, my dearest Jack. Oh how I hope my dream is wrong". There was deep feeling in your heart. The thought of Jack was racing through your mind and making you feel a warm feeling and made you feel happy but sad that he was carrying out with his plan.
The monsters of Halloween town have gave off the talent to you of singing about how you feel. You felt sad. You then felt the urge to sing. Without resisting, you let the lyrics out with the band playing along with your lyrics. It was like they knew what was coming next.
I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedys at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
You approached one of the gates and held onto the bars in sorrow. You kept singing with, now, a few tears falling from your eyes. You then started to sing about Jack.
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
You looked up as you continued to sing and saw a black cat. You stepped through the gate and walked towards the cat who was now on the slanting pillar with ledges.
What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
You got down on your knees and the cat jumped down for you to pet it. You gave it a few pets before picking it up to have it rest on your knee as it let out a 'meow'. The cat then jumped off and ran away.
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
The music stopped and you felt more tears pour from your cheeks. You felt like this was all your fault. You looked back through the gates and could just barely see everyone still in a cheerful mood. You fell back down and felt useless. But a small idea came to mind. This could work! You grabbed a couple rocks and ran off to find Oogie Boogie again. The only person who could help was Santa!
You kept running with determination and after awhile, you made it to the building. You climbed back down the side and saw Oogie in front of him. You prepared the rocks and got in a position of where they were right below you. "Are you a gamblin' man Sandy? Lets play". You threw a rock away in a far corner and Oogie looked over to what the sound was. "My my? What have we here"? He walked over the source of the noise and you were able to grab a hold of the rope. You gently tugged it and Santa looked up to see you.
"I'll get you out of here" you said quietly. Oogie was looking in the corners crevices but didn't see anything. You threw another rock in a different corner and he was now confused and annoyed. "Come out, come out" he said. You tried pulling the rope up but Santa was too heavy. You were about to throw your last rock but it slipped from your grasp and fell to the ground. Oogie turned around and saw you trying to pull Santa out. "WHAT!? YOU TRY TO MAKE A DUPE OUT OF ME"!?
Oogie then started to inhale air with a loud scream as he was now pulling you and Santa towards him. You tried fighting the pull but it was too powerful. You couldn't fight it anymore and went flying towards him. He caught you and held you by the arm strongly. "Well, well, well, if this is the one that Jack talks about, then he's a liar"!
"Liar" you asked.
"Your hideous! He's an idiot if he likes this"! You knew he wasn't saying that you were beautiful. You knew he was speaking in literal terms. "You"? You looked over at Santa who said that and he then said, "You were the one that one of my elves saw leave their room and your missing from your world. You need to go back home, now"!
"Does she? I don't think so". Oogie got close to your face and said menacingly, "Your... not... going... ANYWHERE"! He then took you and Santa and tied your hands and legs so you couldn't run. He placed you and Santa on a table and laughed in a evil way again. You started to cry again. All you want is to go home and Jack.
Jack..?
You kept thinking of him and just want him to save you. You need him now more than ever but all he's doing is probably ruining Christmas. But that deep feeling in your chest was now confirmed...
As love.
This was being processed in your head. Your in love. Your in love with Jack, the pumpkin king. You didn't know if he felt the same but you knew that you did indeed love him. But is he going to notice your gone?
'Help me, Jack' you thought to yourself.
'Please'...
