Jack's first course of action was to tell the town the wonderful news, but unfortunatly, the news caught the ears of the nutorious Lock, Shock and Barrel, henchmen to Jack's worst enemy, Oogie Boogie.
They were contemplating bringing back Oogie and now they had decided it was time was right to do so.
They worked hard for three days constructing Oogie back to his original state until he was alive once more.
Of course, when they told him the news he was fuming.
"WHAT?!" he hollered, throwing a broken floorboard at a barrel in the corner. It smashed into a thousand pieces of timber on the floor. Lock, Shock and Barrel hugged eachother, trembling with fear.
"THAT IDIOT HAS A CHILD! WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING ME BACK SOONER? I COULD HAVE KILLED HER BEFORE SHE WAS EVEN CREATED!"
"W-we were thinking about it" said Lock, his voice faint.
But Oogie ignored this remark and stormed over to the cabinet where he kept his dice and other things.
There were a few smashes and bonks before he found what he was looking for.
"Kids." he growled. "You're smart. So tell me" he said, turning around holding a small bottle in his hand. "How do you kill someone that's already dead?"
"I DO NOT know!" half shouted Barrel.
"Y-you can't, b-because they're already dead!" stuttered Shock.
"Bingo! They're dead! So first you gotta turn the brat...alive" hissed Oogie, looking at the potion he had in his hand. It was a slimey green colour with small bubbles of things that looked like skulls floating inside it.

The sun began to set in Halloween Town and Sally was cooing the baby, who they had named Amy, to sleep, humming Sally's song to her as her eyes closed, she ran her hands over Amy's face and her locket they had given to her as a present.
She lay her in her small crib as Jack touched her arm and led her to bed.
Oblivious to the danger their child was in. A few minutes after they had left, a grappling hook scraped across the windowledge and up the rope climbed Lock, Shock and Barrel, knowing failure was not an option here.
Lock threw a rock through the window and slid in, hoping Jack hadn't heard the noise. He had.
Jack clambered out of bed as Lock picked up Amy and climbed on to the window ledge.
"STOP!" cried Jack. But the shadow didn't stop, he jumped straight out of the window. "AMY!" he cried, running to the window, the shadow had made it outside safely with Amy, but she was crying. Jack stormed after them as Lock, Shock and Barrel climbed in Jack's sleigh with Amy.
Jack ran after them as quick as he could, but Lock, Shock and Barrel were quicker and set off into the sky with Amy, leaving Jack on the ground crying out her name and hoping with all his might she'd be safe.
