The next morning Jake jumped out of bed, he laid the suit that he was going to wear for the pumpkin ball on his bed. But until the ball he would wear his usual hoodie and pants. After his breakfast one of his older sisters asked to take a walk with him.
"So...who's your date for the ball?" Roberta asked.
"A girl." Jake resounded. The tall rag girl frowned.
"A name, please." She asked.
"Her name is Annie." Jake said proudly.
"You mean the new girl?" Roberta said eyeing Jake.
"Why do you care?" Jake snapped.
"She just seems... strange and not our kind of strange." Roberta said. The two were walking toward Spiral Hill, when Roberta spotted Ron on the hill. She quickly turned and ran home. She had asked Ron if he would go to the ball with her but he had turned her down. Before she got out of his reach Jake grabbed Roberta's arm.
"Why the heck are you running off?" Jake said. Roberta quickly yanked him behind a grave stone. Ron heard something and looked around but didn't see anything.
"Him..." Roberta whispered.
"You mean Ron?" Jake whispered back.
"You know him?" Roberta asked.
"Yea he's Annie's friend." Jake said. Roberta shot him a surprised face.
"Hello." Ron said leaning over the grave. Both of the Skellington children gasped. "You two might want to work on the whole quiet thing."
Roberta stood up and slapped Ron. She then took off for the mansion.
"Umm sorry about that my sister is just weird." Jake said before walking off.
"O...k..." Ron said when they both were gone.
Soon the ball was going to start so Jake put on his suit. It was similar to his fathers' ordinary suit but a little more formal.
The pumpkin ball had started and Jake waited for Annie. She didn't show though. Jake sighed and watched all the other ghouls dance. The y all were having the time of their afterlife. Jack and Sally however were the happiest and dance the most and the longest. Jake envied his parents and left to his room when he realized Annie wasn't coming. He figured that she ditched him for her 'boyfriend' Ron and they were on sprial hill having a grand old time. He lauded in his bed heart-broken.
Lotia in the dungeon having the best time of her life. But soon remembered that Annie was in trouble. She looked around the room and saw a vent at the corner of the room. She climbed though and crawled around. The vent was a tight fit but at lest she could move. After a while she found Annie. She climbed out the vent and into Estelle's room.
"Lotia! We have to get out of here!" Annie said.
"I know but how?" Lotia responded.
"The window!" Annie said. The girls moved the dresser in front of the door so the mini cupid's could get in to stop them. They took all the sheets and blankets they could find, and put knots in them. They hung it out the window and climbed out the window. They ran into a rose forest. After running around for several hours they found the holiday trees. The girls ran to the Halloween door. Annie ripped open the door and both girls jumped inside. They ran out of the hinterlands as fast as they could. When they got to the Witches they saw Nicolas sitting there waiting for Lotia.
"I'm sorry." Lotia said realizing that she had accidentally stood up Nicolas. He just smiled and hugged her.
"I'm just glad you're okay" He said. He kissed her and left after giving Lotia a neckless he got for her. Annie suddenly remembered Jake. She ran to the Skellington Mansion to explain, but no one answered. She went back to the Witches shop feeling like a jerk. She went to sleep thinking of a way to apologize to Jake.
Annie woke up to the celebrating of Halloween town. She yawned and put on a black dress that looked a little like what the witches wore. She brushed her hair and walked out the shop. She walked around town and looked for Jake. She found him at the town square.
"Jake!" Annie shouted running over to him. "I'm so sorry about last night."
"What's there for you to be sorry about? You didn't even show up." Jake said looking at her.
"But my friend and I got into some trouble, and we got trapped in at-" Annie started to say quickly Jake interrupted her.
"Yeah right. You probably were on Spiral Hill with your boyfriend Ron." Jake said snobbishly.
"What?! Ron isn't my boyfriend! Really I didn't mean-" Annie said when Jake cut her off again.
"Just forget about it." He said walking off. Annie felt terrible. She ran over to Jake before he got too far and kissed him.
"Sorry." She whispered before running off. Jake realized she was serous and his whole skull turned a light shade of pink. He ran to witches shop, but Annie wasn't there. She was probably in the graveyard. He wrote a message and put it on her bed. He also put a skeleton necklace on her bed and went home.
Annie had run to the graveyard. Not far from her she heard a couple of voices.
"Okay, now remember to get the both of them before we start what we do best." A little girls' voice said. Annie peaked out from the corner of the gravestone and saw three little kids. The girl had lots of think long hairs stringing out of a light purple hat that was taller than she was. She wore a purple dress, black boots, black gloves and had even paler skin than Annie.
"Yea, yea, we'll remember." Said a boy. He had pale skin too and wore a red outfit. A tale that came out the back of his pants and his fiery red hair was shaped like small horns. He looked like a little devil and the girl looked like a little witch.
"But lets not forget out trick-or-treating tonight. Okay?" Said the third boy. He was dressed like a little skeleton. Annie recognized them as some trick-or-treaters she would see every year on Halloween. All three nodded at once.
"Hey there." Came a whispered into one of Annie's ears. She gaped and wiped around. There was Ron leaning over her."What's your problem?! You almost got my heart beating again!" Annie said. Ron threw his head back and laughed.
"Ha-ha! Well are you ready to go to the human world tonight?" Ron said.
"Huh? But I thought that we couldn't go to the human world." Annie said in a shocked voice. Ron smiled.
"We can on Halloween." He said.
"But won't we change into humans again?" Annie asked.
"Yes. But don't you remember that sometimes people see those who should be dead on Halloween night?" Ron said.
"Oh yea..." Annie said remembering. "Umm can you tell me who they are?" Annie said pointing to the three little kids. Ron looked up and saw them.
"Oh those are boogies boys.
The witch is shock. She the brains of the group. And the red one is Lock. He's the main prankster. And last the skeleton is Barrel. The thief for the group. Try not to pick a fight with them." Ron said.
"Okay, so when do we go to the human world?" Annie said eagerly.
"When night falls." Ron said smiling.
"Why are you smiling at me like that?" Annie said oddly.
"Because...." Ron said starting to walk off.
"Because why?" Annie said sensuously starting to fallow him.
"Oh...no reason." Ron said coolly.
"Oh really?" Annie said catching up to him.
"Yeah really." Ron said turning around quickly. Annie didn't expect Ron to turn around and Annie accidentally knocked over Ron and Annie landed on top of Ron.
"Ah how sweet." Said lock. He was standing over them with a raised eyebrow. His eyes pinned on Annie. Ron pushed Annie off and got up.
"Shut up, Mini Me." Ron said leaning down to look at Lock.
"Aw how sweet defending your sweetheart." Lock sassed back. Annie was now ticked off. Ron was her friend and nothing more. She stood up and hit Lock on the head really hard and walked off with her nose stuck up in the air.
"Oww." Lock said. Shock walked over and grabbed Lock's collar.
"See yea lover boy." She said and walked off dragging Lock with her. Ron was ready to kill her but instead punched the top off of a gravestone.
