Jackie was thrown inside, smashed on the floor. Her head was hurting, then she realized that her head was bleeding. She looked up, saw Oogie's angry face and cried.
"Don't you dare cry!" he blasted at her, bugs spewing out of his mouth, Jackie saw the anger in his face, and guessed the dissapointment in Moogie's.
"I wanted to come and apologize to Moogie for what I have done.. Please, I am a mess knowing tha--"
"YOUR a mess? What do you think Moogie's like then? Huh? You think he's happy his girl is smacking one on his enemies lips? Do you think he's happy his one true love has gone off with someone else? Yeah, I bet your a huge mess." Oogie turned around, trying hard not to show his sadness to Jackie, but Jackie could sense it.
"Oogie, I didn't know i was even doing it, I didn't know anyone was there, watching us.." she stared at him, hoping for a reply. Finally, he turned, looked at her in the face then quickly kicked her in the gut. Her stomache ached, a painful shock kept poking her, a powerful twist of painful butterflies fluttered in her stomache.
"You think Moogie is going to talk to you after this?"
"I know he isn't" she wheezed. Oogie bent down, his face touching hers:
"Then why are you here?" he asked softly. Jackie thought about that but didn't seem to get the answer. Jackie lay on the floor, blood pouring from her head and pain twisting in her stomache, pain in her heart thumping away like it was going to stop, but didn't. Oogie looked at her again, this time helping her up.
"He's in Valentine's Town, thinking about you. Duno why." he said and pushed her out of the door and blasting it shut after him. She quickly ran to Halloweentown and ran to the forest.
She finally got the the forest and looked for the Valentine tree, she opened the door and she flew in.
She landed on the floor and thumped her head, once again. She looked up and saw little people rushing to her. She quickly got up before they could reach her and ran all over the place to find Moogie.
She looked everywhere and was about to give up when she walked into Romantic Woods. Deeper and deeper she got until she saw a bench with someone sitting on it, Moogie.
Jackie rushed to the bench and tapped Moogie on the shoulder, he looked up but looked away again. Jack sat down and stared at him in the eyes, waiting for him to say something.
"Why did you kiss him?" he asked.
"I didn't know I was doing it."
"Yeah right."
"No seriously, I didn't realize until I got home and saw your text! I'm so sorry."
"Yeah I bet..wait..did you look at him in the eyes?"
"Yeah?"
"No wonder! He hypnotized you! I should have known!" His hands gently touched her face, and he kissed her. Jackie didn't know what was going on but agreed anyway.
"He hypnotized you! Oh my god I should have known!"
"Yeah well. I'm just glad you trust me again."
"Yeah, one thing I don't get thought is.. why didn't your dad turn up?" Jackie looked at him with confusion, but with anger too.
"What?"
"Your dad? He set up a meeting with me in the Haunted Woods..." Jackie shook her head and clamped her teeth with disgust. Moogie got it after thinking about it.
Jackie and Moogie went home, Moogie went home happy, Jackie went home, well, mad.
"How could you?" she asked Jack, slamming the door behind her. She ran upstairs, Jack behind her.
"What have I done now?!" he asked.
"Oh you know what. Ringing Moogie arranging a meeting with him at the exact time Lock kissed me?"
"Oh.. right, well"
"Don't even speak to me Dad. I can't believe you've sunk this low."
"I tried to protect you! And what have you done to your head?"
"Protect me? Protecting me from what? Falling in love? Having a great future? And what I've done to my head is none of your business."
"Well, yeah it is-"
"Dad, just, get out."
"Bu-"
"Out, I don't want to talk to you." Jack walked out without arguing. He realized what Jackie meant, and shook his head guiltily. He was disturbed when the phone rang, he picked it up:
"If you ever want to see your wife again, you better come to Christmas Town..Now." Jack didn't have time to put the phone down, just to run outside to Christmas Town with no questions asked.. Who is it?
