Oogie sat next to his son, staring at him with fake sympathy..
"why?" Moogie would say with Oogie putting his arms around him.
"Prehaps it's meant to be.." Oogie said.
Jackie ran as fast as she could through the forest, her night gown flying behind her. She fel tears burning her cheeks, and heard Lock shouting her name behind her.
She kept running, not knowing where she would end up.
She jumped behind a tree while Lock fell to the floor, she watched him get up, he snarled and walked forward,
"Oh Jackie," he said with snarl, "where are you? Oh please come out.." he looked around, Jackie's foot slipped making the leaves make a snapping sound, Lock looked directly at her, and obviously saw her. "Oh Jackie," he said kneeling toward her, "I've found you.." he said grabbing her and pulling her up. He stared in her eyes, "your going to do me a favour," he said.
Jack woke up, stumbling to his feet. He walked down the stairs and saw that the door was open, and the Mayor was at the door. "Good morning Jack." the Mayor said looking around the door frame. "Has something happened?" Jack stared, swining his hands infront of him to see if the door had actually gone, when he hit the Mayor, he guessed it wasn't there.
"Jacki must have gone for a walk." Jack said "what's the matter?"
"Oh, right well, speaking of Jackie," the Mayor said looking throuh his bags, "Well, um, see, Jackie has to deliver her speech on Wednesday." he said poiting to his calender.
Jack completly forgot about the speech.
"Yes, I will tell her that, is that it?" Jack said rubbing his head. The Mayor nodded and walked to his little car. Jack walked back upstairs, rubbing his head, he went into his room and told Sally. They both got changed and started ringing Jackie.
Moogie didn't leave his room, lying on his bed, staring at his wall. Tears fell down his face. Oogie gave him drinks and food, Moogie had them all, but wouldn't put them downstairs. After a while he finally went downstairs, he got his coat and started walking to the door, but Oogie grabbed him, "where are you going?" he asked.
"Im going to see Jack and Sally, give them my sympathy." Oogie shook his head
"Are you sure? i mean Jack could blame this all on you, do you want that?" Oogie said.
"No, but it wont matter.." Moogie said pulling his arm away from Oogie and walked out the door.
Moogie got to the Skellington household and walked in. "Jack?" he shouted. Jak came running down the stairs.
"Oh Moogie, good your here" Jack got to Moogie "have you seen Jackie?" Moogie was shocked.
Lock dragged Jackie to the Cwirly Hill and pushd her to the edge. Jackie's cheeks were burning, her eyes burning from the salty tears. Lock knelt by her, his hand gently against her face. "Your going to wish something," he said "your going to wish that your life is differen't" he said. his hand suddenly became tighter, "do it" he said.
He pushed her head over the edge, Jackie squeezed her eyes tight, deciding to do what he wants, maybe things would be better?
"I wish that my life is different,"
"detailed," Lock said.
"I wish that my parents aren't my parents, I wish I wasn't the Pumpkin Princess, and I wish... I wish that everything wasn't mine.. including Moogie," she said with tears.
"What?" Moogie asked.
"Where's Jackie? Didn't she see you?" Jack asked.
"What??" Moogie said louder.
"Look, Jackie isn't in her room, and I need to find her, she has her speech coming up!" Jack said.
"Dad said she was dead.." he said.
"pfft, and you believed your dad?" Jack asked.
A purple mist lurked amoungst Halloweentown, within minutes things changed.
What has happened to Moogie and Jackie?
