The Skellington Family enjoyed a wonderful life, Jackie learning about the duties of being the Pumpkin Princess and meeting everyone in the neighbourhood. Jackie enjoyed it in the beginning, but as years went passed, Jack and Sally could see that she didn't want to know.
Jackie is a beautiful 16 year old, every man and boy fancies Jackie, even Lock. But, Jackie is keeping a secret from her friends and family, she doesn't want to be Pumpkin Princess. She thought that there is too much responsibilites and that she couldn't handle it. She watches her father sort out paper work and preparing meetings, she can see that it can make you go mad, she doesn't want to do that.
"Jackie, please concentrate! Your never going to know this if you don't listen!" explained Jack
"I am concentrating, there's just too much to remember! How am I supposed to know what days I'm going to be free for meetings? Wonder if something really important pops up that day?" wondered Jackie giving a big sigh.

Sally looked at him with her big beautiful eyes. "She'll come around."
"I hope so Sally, the mayor-.."
"Don't you worry about him! Let her do it in her own time. Just sit down and have a little sleep."
Jack took Sally advice and sat down, his eyes dropping from the amount of night's where he and Jackie have argued, he hasn't had time to sleep.
Jackie was heading through the Haunted Woods. Muttering to herself how she hates her duties, when she got grabbed on the arms by two figures and dragged down by another....
