When the sun was setting a large crowd around the Gravestone that led to the human world. Annie looked around. She saw Jake, Jakes father, the witches, and several other ghouls that were ready to scare the souls of the living. Annie had put on a black dress that cut of like a mini skirt. It was kind of a tight fit on her but at lest she could move in it. She had put on some green and black striped stockings and they cut off at her feet which were now shoes. She wore long green and black striped half gloves on her arms too. The witches had showed her how to fix the whole her legs and arms turning black thing. Around her waist was a silver chain with some bags and charms attached to it. One charm was a small pumpkin. All she had to do was drop one pumpkin charm anywhere and then say the magic word and all the pumpkins that weren't in the bag would scare anyone around in their own special way. Annie had several other charms with her to scare people. Next to her was Lotia. Lotia was wearing a shirt that cut off a bit above her belly showing her skinny figure. The shirt was black with long sleeves. Then she had a Black skirt. On her feet were some black boots. Lotia's hair was down. Lotia held a large Scythe. The scythe looked like Lotia had just used it on some unfortunate victims. Some blood would drip of the end of the scythe.
"My my don't the two of you look absolutely horrible." Came Ron's voice.
"Thank you." Annie said. Ron wore normal looking clothing. A dirty short blue shirt with a long sleeved white one under it. He had jeans and some shoes. He was covered in blood and dust. On his back was a small backpack. Annie could see wires sticking out of it a little bit. It looked like Ron had explosives and someone had just exploded or something near him causing the blood all over him. But only half of his face had blood on it. His hair looked a little messed up but Ron obviously didn't care. Next to Ron was Nicolas. He was dressed in a short sleeve black shirt. The collar of the shirt stood up and was covering his neck and mouth (kind of like Sauske's shirt on naruto). Then he had tight black pants that had chains, and leather ribbons all around them. Then black boots. He wore black half gloves and blushed when he saw Lotia.
"The two of you both look positively horrible as well." Annie said in a snobbish rich person voice.
"So when do we get to go to the human world and scare the pants of the living?" Lotia said smiling evilly.
"Soon." Said the clown with the tear away face.
"Lock Shock and Barrel are already in the human world trick or treating" Ron said. The mayor made an announcement that told everyone that the scaring would now begin. Jack opened the tombstone and all of the Halloween town Ghouls and creeps ran into the human world. Once Annie, Ron, Nicolas, and Lotia were in the human world they decided to spit up. Ron would scare those on the way to any Halloween parties. Lotia and Nicolas would freak out any drivers and scare anyone they could. Annie give away some of her pumpkin charms to small trick-or-treaters and say the magic word at random times and the children would scream and runaway from the charm before it exploded into black dust. The bag of charms would refill itself when needed. Annie decided to walk around her old narborhood. A bunch of children started to circle her when she passed out her charms. Behind her stood a group of her friends she had when she was alive. Kyra was one of them. They all looked at the strange girl with ton of little kids surrounding her. Once each small child had a charm Annie stood up and smiled. The children scattered. Annie started to walk around when Ron came up behind her and grabbed her waist. Annie whipped around and got ready to slap Ron but he grabbed her arm before she made contact with his face.
"What's your problem?!" Annie said glaring at Ron.
"Just thought I'd stop by and see how you're doing." Ron said letting go of her arm.
"Jerk." Annie said playfully punching Ron's arm. The two laughed as they watched Annie's charms go off and the children scattered screaming. The group of teenagers fallowed the too. Eventually every other teen but Kyra and a guy named Alan, whom was another friend of Annie's, left. They continued to fallow Annie and Ron. They were curious of the girl who looked exactly like their old friend.
"When do we have to get back?" Annie asked Ron.
"Midnight and no later or we're locked out and we have to kill ourselves to get back in and let me tell you death isn't cool. Death has too many rules. Can't do this, can't do that. No wonder poltergeists are so mean." Ron said.
"And you know this how..?" Annie asked.
"It happened once....or twice." Ron said.
"Well it's almost midnight so we'd better find Lotia and Nicolas. So you look around the road and I'll go toward the graveyards and places near there." Annie said.
"Sure." Ron said running off toward the roads that he had earlier seen Lotia and Nicolas on. The second Ron ran off Alan and Kyra ran up to Annie and grabbed her arms and carried her off to an ally.
"Annie?" Kyra said getting close to Annie's face.
"WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM?! YOU DON'T JUST GRAB PEOPLE AND DRAG THEM OFF TO SOME ALLY?" Annie said angrily. Kyra hugged Annie.
"Oh Annie it really is you!" she said with tear running down her eyes. Annie wasn't sure what to do so she reached one of her hands into her bag of charms and grabbed a hand full. She used her other hand and pushed Kyra off her. Kyra sat on the ground looking hurt. Annie threw the charms at her old friends and made a dash for it. She looked back and saw that Kyra was getting up and Alan was ready to chase her.
"Yellow." Annie shouted and the charms turned into little mutant pumpkins and they grabbed Alan and Kyra with their vines. "Sorry" Annie said and ran off. The charms exploded into their dust and Kyra got up to chase Annie. She was only a few feet from Annie.
"Found Them" Ron said popping out of nowhere. Annie tripped and knocked Ron over.
"Sorry." She said. Kyra saw Ron and recognized him even if he looked much different from when she last saw him.
"Ron?!" Kyra said. Ron turned and glared at Annie.
"What did you do?" Ron said in a very serous tone.
"Nothing!" Annie said grabbing Ron and running off to the tomb entrance. Lotia and Nicolas fallowed.
"What's going on?" Lotia questioned.
"They grabbed me and recognized me." Annie said as they came close to the entrance.
"Umm Annie it's this one." Ron said pointing to another grave mark.
"You're both wrong it's this one." Lotia said pointing to another. Nicolas remained silent seeing how he hadn't a clue which one was the right one.
"Hi guys;" Jake said as he was walking past them. "Umm if you guys are trying to get back into Halloween Town then you guys should know the entrance is this way."
"Oh........well we knew that." Annie said as they all ran to the entrance. Once they were back in Halloween Town and knew Kyra and Alan couldn't find them, Annie hugged Jake. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!" She said happily.
"You're Welcome." Jake said with a large smile growing across his face.
"Come on the celebration is going to begin soon." Lotia said Grabbing Annie and Nicolas and dragging them to town square. Ron and Jake ran after them. When they got to town square the whole town was cheering on the Pumpkin King in his fire dance. Lotia once again was a zombie.
"Not again." Annie said. She grabbed Lotia's Scythe and started to hit her on the head with it. "Wakey wakey Lotia!" She shouted.
The rest of the night the whole town celebrated and had some scary fun. When Annie and Lotia got back to the witches shop the both of them were wiped out. When they got to their rooms they both collapsed on their bed and directly fell asleep.
~Meanwhile~
"Man we hit the JACKPOT!" Barrel cried happily. As he started to stuff his face with chocolate.
"You idiot you're going to eat all the candy and it won't even last two hours" Shock said slapping Barrel up top the head.
"Who cares if he eats all of HIS candy. His loss." Lock said as the three got into a catfight.
"Don't you three ever stop fighting?" A voice said standing over them.
"Shut up Taver we'll do what ever we please and it's none of your concern."
"It's is if you kill each other and the plan wont be able to be complete." He said leaning over them. He had blood red eyes and hair. Pale skin and wore a black shirt and pants and boots, with a large trench coat over him.
"Fine!" The three said as they stopped fighting. "We'll just get you!" And the three jumped on Taver and knocked him over. Barrel handled his legs, Shock covered his eyes, and Lock handled the rest. Taver laughed as the three tried to bring him down. He was much taller then them. He stood up and Barrel just hooked his arms around one of Taver's legs, Shock Slid down to his other leg and Lock was holding onto Taver's right arm by his teeth. Taver walked over to the stair case leading to the lair of Oogie Boogie.
"Well?" Oogie said leaning close to Taver. "Is it time?"
"No but it will be time soon enough. The time should be ready close to Christmas and you will be ready to achieve your goal, Master.
