Preparing for the meeting, Jack II chuckled to himself. Thinkg about the chaos and disaster he would bringupon Halloweentown, and others. He knew what he was doing, and how to do it. He's watched Jack for a while, picking up on the things he said, and little things he did.
Jack and Sally stared in amazement at Moogie. He'd been beaten up, they could tell. Moogie was half human half Boogie. His kneecaps down were sacks, the rest were human. His trousers were ripped, bugs were crawling out. His stomache was full of cuts, his eyes black, his nose bleeding, lip slit open. Jack wondered if Oogie knew how his son looked, but doubted it.
"What are you doing here?" Sally finally asked.
"They said that Jackie was in trouble.. I rushed here.." that's all Moogie could sat without tearing up.
"So, They, did this to you?" Jack asked.
"Lock, Shock and Barrell. They grabbed me, pulled to the ground and held me there. Lock punched and dug his nails into me. He got out his knife and said 'for Jackie' and slit my side. I passed out and they dumped me here." Jack and Sally stared in disgust when Moogie turned to show them the cut. It was huge, blood slowly dripped out of it. Jack then realized that Moogie wasnt anything like Oogie. He felt guilty.
Jackie tried to fight Lock off, but he kept grabbing her tight, trying to kiss her. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" she would ask. She calmed down when she hit her head and blanked out, falling to the ground. Lock stayed with her, nursing her. She looked up at his smug face, "You coward" she said.
"Say what yo want, sweetie," he said "Your mine, whether you like it.. or not."
Jack II watched all of the Halloweentown residents walk in, looking confused. He shook some of their hands. He then went to the stage and took to the stand. "My friends," he began "it's time for a change." Everyone looked at him confused. "We need to make this years Halloween special. It needs to be perfect. So, I thought, why only let us celebrate it when Christmastown can celebrate it too?"
"But it's Halloween," said the Mayor "It's meant only for us?"
"It's a holiday for fun and excitement! Surely that's for every holiday? We're doing them a favour! Giving them tips on how to improver their holiday!". After a little bit of chatting, everyone cheered. Excitement and evil filled up in Jack II.
"I'm so sorry, Moogie." Sally said. J ack was quiet, he knew that some of this was his fault. Then, he grabbed Moogie and shook him a bit. "Where's Jackie?" he asked.
"I dont know" he answered.
"Please Moogie! Think! Did they take anything from you?"
"Lock took.. my phone.. he took my phone!" Moogir punched the inside layer of the tree, making his knuckles bleed. "She's with him." he said.
Jack II and Halloweentown made traps, collecting heads, making signs. Everything was going to be a disaster, just as Jack II wanted it. When it was dark and all of Christmastown was asleep, everyone snuck in and set up.
Morning came, Chrismas town woke up, suprised. Heads hung in windows, bodies fell as people opened doors. "Boys and Girls of every age, wouldnt you like to see something strange?" kids screaming, being grabbed. Jack II took over singing while Halloweentown caused distruction, ripping things down and dying the snow red, blood red.
Jack Sally and Moogie heard this, and started ripping wood layres, slowly, the tree fell apart.
Jackie couldnt get up, her body was cold and painful, Lock had her head on his lap. He looked down at her and stroked her hair, "oh Jackie," he said "why don't you love me?".
"Because I love Moogie." she answered. Lock shook his head.
"I loved you before you met him, why didn't you love me then?"
"I never thought of you as my type of guy, i suppose." Lock helped Jackie sit up. "Would you think it if i did this.." his hand held Jackie's face, he leaned in and kissed her. She couldnt pull away, but didnt want to. Why?
