"Shut up!" snapped Lock, showing his teeth at Shock; who was bothering him extremely. "I'll bet I could make Clown's unicycle go crazy!"
"Bet you can't!" She challenged. "Your costume is too red, he'd notice."
"I can too! I'll prove it!"
----------------------
Lock came back with a black eye, making Shock roll over on her back laughing. Lock got so mad that is face turned bright red, almost to match his costume.
"Shut up!" Even Barrel was snickering, but not loud enough considering he was the runt.
----------------------
"You're so stupid." Shock came in behind Lock as he put ice on his eye. He gave her a dirty look but turned away from her. "I wouldn't have been so foolish as to try something so stupid, which is why girls are better than boys."
"OK I get it!" He boomed right back. "At least I tried. You would have just quit before even trying."
"Who is the one with the black eye?" Shock challenged. Stomping her foot on the floor. "Here... Stupid boy." She grabbed the ice pack off of his eye and put more ice in it. "You didn't have enough in there you moron."
--------------------
It had not been long since Oogie's destruction by Jack Skellington that Lock and Barrel began to see a girl explode out of Shock. It was weird, in one short year; she'd evolved from a prank-pulling little girl, into a-regular girl!
Barrel was the first one to point out Shock's evolving to Lock, whom had not noticed anything coming from Shock. No womanly features.
Not only was she growing, but she had thicker hair than usual (She had black hair! They didn't know that.) but she was still short; just as short as them. She grew very irritant, very fast.
That night he sat up late; Barrel had drowned himself in pancake syrup and wouldn't be up for hours; and Shock was fast asleep. Lock grabbed a carmel candy and walked out onto the deck.
Along with noticing Shock's feminity; he'd began woundering about his mom and dad, for as long as he could remember; he was like a son to Oogie Boogie. Oogie never told him about his parents, although he figured that they probably didn't want him. Considering he was growning into a young man and they weren't around; they weren't around when he met his three best friends; they weren't around when he pulled his first prank, hell, they weren't even around for his birthday. He didn't need them, and they didn't want him.
Barrel jumped out of bed due to a syrup induced nightmare; oh god it was horrible! He was being chased by Easter rabbits and they pelted him with sticky; ranch filled easter eggs!
"Lock?" Barrel climbed out of bed and saw Lock standing on the balcony and swishing a hard caramel candy in his mouth; Trying not to swollow it whole and start choking. "What are you doing up?"
"Couldn't sleep." He replied bluntly, his words were a little slurpy; due to the candy and the amount of saliva it caused. Barrel; with a bottel of syrup in hand; stood beside him and drank it like crazy. Completely not making the connection between the nightmare and his sticky sugar intake.
"Whatcha thinking?" Barrel asked; seeing that Lock had something on his mind.
"Nothing. Hand over the syrup." Barrel looked sympathedically at his syrup as Lock squirted it into his mouth; nearly drowning himself in syrup.
"I wounder. What do you think it would be like if Oogie was back?" Barrel asked; stealing his syrup back and squrting it without thinking into his mouth.
"Jack would kill us." Lock replied bluntly. "You saw how mad he got about two years ago."
"I know." Barrel grinned. "But still. We wait, and then we bring him back! The witches Shop has some stuff we could use to resserect him."
"Like bugs and a sewing machine?" Lock laughed. Barrel was serious for once.
"C'mon! This will be the ultimate prank!!" Lock's devilish grin spred on his face as he agreed to join Barrel in his plan; and when Shock woke up; they told her, and she LOVED it.
