Jack rubbed his temples misrebly as he went through the seemingly never ending stacks of papers on his desk. So many problems, so little time to deal with them. Halloween was approching fast and it seemed that the Mayor was getting less and less competent as the deadline came upon them. To make matters worse, there were increasing reports of humans stumbling upon the doors that lead to the different holiday worlds. He gave an exsaperated sigh and let his head hit the desk with a loud thud.
"Is something wrong Daddy?" a little voice came from behind him. Jack turned in his chair to see his three year old daughter standing behind him with a worried look on her face. With her red hair was pulled into pigtails, her pale blue skin (slightly paler than her mother's), and one skeletal arm and leg, she was probably one of the cuteset things in Halloween Town.
"No Jenna," Jack smiled as he pulled her onto his knees, "I'm just tired."
"Whatcha workin on?" she cooed happily, shuffiling the papers on her father's desk.
"Getting ready for Halloween mostly, but there is a problem with some humans trying to get into our world."
"Thats bad?" she understood alot for a three year old.
"Well they're scared of us...." Jack began.
"And they don't like that?" she inquired, staring at her father, trying to understand, "Scaring and being scared is fun!"
"Not everyone thinks so." he said sadly, straighting his papers, "And some like to get rid of what they're scared of...." his voice trailed off. This wasn't something he needed to get her worried about, she was only three after all. "Why don't you go see what mommy's doing Jen."
"Kay!" she exclaimed happily as she ran down the spiraling staircase.
Jack tried to continue working but his mind was on things far more important than the Mayor's pumpkin rot issue. Why were the humans searching for the Holiday worlds, and why were they going to the doors? If they wanted to get to Halloween, why not just use the obvious portals in th grave yard? No, the humans were after more than just Halloween....otherwise they wouldn't have gone through the trouble of finding the other Holidays, there was no reason to fear the others though. "AHHRRRRRUUUUUUGGGGGG!!!!!!!!" he groaned in frustration, and jumped up, scattering papers everywhere. "What to do....." That was a good question. Jack would have liked to ask some of the other Holiday leaders for their take on the issue, but the only one that would even associate with him was Sandy...and he was the only person who should actually be holding a grudge! All Jack had done to the other holidays was save their sorry tails from Oogie.....granted he did come from Halloween....it still wasn't Jack's fault...really. He suddenly heard laughter coming from outside his window. Looking down on the town square he saw Lock, Shock and Barrel dancing around the corpse band happily. They were older now, and looked it. Sporting different, more teenaged outfits, and Shock's nose fit her face, good for her. He noticed that the band had taken on three new members, teenagers playing clarinets. It made the band sound different, but it in a good way. Jack strained his eyes to see who the teenagers were as the band struck up 'This is Halloween'. "Aha," he exclaimed, finally recoginzing them. Two boys, one girl, Bann, Areo, and Jynx. They all looked surprisingly human, despite the fact they were born and raised in Halloween. Jynx was what the citizens called 'The failed shapeshifter' because she could only change into animals. Then there was Bann, a banshee of sorts, who wasn't particuarlly thrilled with his heratige but loved music. Finally Areo, the brown skinned fire demon boy who always looked half asleep. Jack smiled, happy there was still some happiness left in Halloween.
"Daddy lets go outside!" Jenna ran up the stairs, dragging Sally behind her. He smiled and nodded, needing to get away from his desk for a while. He was about to turn to leave when a cold wind blew his window open, an unaturally cold wind, even for Halloween. He looked down at a note at his feet that bore cristmas colors. "Sandy...." Jack muttered.
Jack-
You are needed here immeadiately, I cannot explain to you what has happend because I do not know who might intercept this message. Just come as quickly as possible.
-S.C.
"I will be back." Jack said, kissing Sally on the head and rushing out the door.
Sally read the note and suddenly felt dizzy, a premoniton? "Come back quickly," she whispered, pulling Jenna close.

"Your sure, he'll go there," a black haired man asked a shadowy figure in the corner as he whatched the scene unfolding in Christmas.
"Positive," a deep southern voice replied, "He loves that town as much as he loves his own."
"Then we have a deal," the man said, at that plotting the downfall of both Jack and the strange creature that he had just made a deal with...
