Jack and Sally had to take the long way home; they had to take the long way home so they could teach the 6 children behind them how to actually find home. It was something they wished they had taught them sooner. Once you knew the secret
They finally reached the hinterlands; Ebony was weaving in and out of Jessica’s legs, just like she used to. Apart from the fact by normal person terms, Jessica’s legs were now severely out of proportion to her body. The more they walked the more Jack and Sally made links to them and how they were, the knife-like laughter and the game of tag they began to play with the others. By the time they reached the trees Jack realized that Arachcana and Beatlan had no want to try and take over Halloween town. And by the time they were 500m from the hinterland gates Jack and Sally realized, with guilt that this new Jessica and Carlos were an improvement to the old ones, What they didn’t know was that Jessica and Carlos had admitted that long ago.
At the Hinterland gates Jack stopped and winced,
“Oh dear, this is the time I wish we had mobile phones”
“Or that the Mayor wasn’t such a panic merchant” Said Jessica
“That too” was the reply.
Just outside the gates a search party, arranged by the Mayor, He was going out of his head, there was a girl about seven or eight years old by his side, she would have been born after Carlos and her had long gone,
“Dad,” said Carlos, Jack couldn’t help smiling, he hadn’t been called Dad in years “who’s the girl by the Mayor?” Carlos finished his sentence.
“She’s called Leah, but she prefers to be called twist, she is the Mayors daughter”
“Right, come on let’s get this over with” Jessica pushed her father forward,
“JACK, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN,” the mayor’s voice was high pitched, “AND WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE YOU KNOW THE RULES NO STRANGERS ARE TO BE BROUGHT TO THE TOWN!”
Jessica spoke loud and clear
“We are not strangers”
Carlos put his hand on her shoulder, then she spoke
“I am Jessica Nightmare Shadow Ragdoll Skellington”
“And I am Carlos Pumpkin Inferno Ragdoll Skellington”
gasped ran though the crowd like a plague, these children were dead, surely, but the way he stood and the way she smiled, made them all believe it was them.
At the back two figures stiffened, Oogie put two and two faster than he ever had, maybe if they were ok, then Arachcana and Beatlan may just have survived too, they pushed their way through the crowd, just in time to watch two, bug-like children say,
“I am Beatlan Cobweb Boogie”
“I am Arachcana Spider Boogie”
“Prove it” said Oogie, how dare these children impersonate Arachcana and Beatlan.
“I think you’re gonna have to sing for your supper” said the skeleton girl with a huge grin. Arachcana’s face darkened once she had figured out what the girl was saying,
“We can’t sing that song, your dad will kill us” there was a pause then with a tone that was obviously not quite sure if the next sentence was true or not said “Slowly”
“No he won’t,” She turned to Jack “will you?” Jack paused
“Depend-”
“Will you?” The girl’s voice was slightly harsh.
“No” Jack said sighing at the same time.
“See? Now sing”
“Come on sis, you’re acting like you’ve forgotten”
“Fine” the boy ginned widely, the girl smiled, and then they sang.
BEATLAN AND ARACHCANA.
Well, well, well, what have we here?
Halloweentown huh?
Oh, we’re really scared
so you’re the ones we’ve been lookin for
ha, ha, ha, ha
You're jokin', you're jokin'
we can't believe our eyes
You're jokin' us, you gotta be
you can't be the right guys
they’re frightened, they’re ugly
we don't know which is worse
we might just split our sides now.
lf we don't die laughing first
When Boogie’s kids say
There's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause we’re kids of the Boogie man
And if you aren't shakin'
Then there's something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time now you hear
the boogie kids song, ohhh
OOGIE
Ohhh
BEATLAN AND ARACHCANA.
Ohhh
CARLOS AND VOLTO
Ohhh
BEATLAN AND ARACHCANA.
Ohhh
JESSICA AND ELECTRONA
Ohhh,
BEATLAN AND ARACHCANA.
We’re the Oogie Boogie kids
EVERYONE
Oh, yeah, We’re (they’re) the Oogie Boogie kids
JACK
stop this now
Or you must face the dire consequences
Stop scaring the citizens of this town
oh please, come to your senses
BEATLAN AND ARACHCANA.
You're jokin', you're jokin'
we can't believe our ears
Would someone shut this fella up
we’re drownin' in our tears
It's funny, we’re laughing
You really are too much
And now, with your permission
we’re going to do our stuff
JACK
What are you going to do?
BEATLAN AND ARACHCANA.
we’re gonna do the best we can
(Musical interlude)
Oh, the sound of screamin folk
To us is music in the air
'Cause we’re the scary' Boogie kids
Although we don't play fair
It's much more fun, we must confess
When lives are on the line
Not ours, of course, but yours, oldfolk
Now that'd be just fine
JACK
stop this fast or you will have to
Answer for this heinous act
BEATLAN AND ARACHCANA.
Oh,people, you're something
You put us in a spin
You aren't comprehending
The position that you're in
It's hopeless, you're finished
You haven't got a prayer
'Cause we’re the kids of Oogie Boogie
And you ain't going nowhere
Applause rang out from the crowd, and Oogie and Hera gave their children death hugs.
“Electrona, Volto, My lab. NOW” called Doctor Finkelstien from the back of the crowd.
“How did you know it was us?” Electrona didn’t sound surprised that the doctor had figured it out
“You look virtually the same”
“We do?” Volto looked surprised,
“YES, now come on” the doctor led the, way to the lab, picking up their bags, Electrona and Volto followed. Arachcana and Beatlan headed after their parents and Jessica and Carlos stood there for about a minute then got moving.
