a figure stood, and watched the scene below... as the people dragged danny out of the lair, and serched for jack... The figure watched as Sally franticaly searched, crying, shocked... truely knowing what had happened but not allowing it to be the truth...
sally hiccuped, as she stopped looking, and knelt on the floor, shakeing... the figure felt pity for sally, as she realised how much sally had loved the great pumpkin king... more than the figure had ever loved anyone before.
and the figure had lived a very long time... about three thousand years... 3015, to be precise...
jet, the figure, jumped from the sill, turning into a small, black cat sized dragon as she fell... she lands next to sally, and looks up at the ragdoll, her face is wet from tears and yet more flow down her cheeks... the material too soaked to allow anymore water to be absorbed...
"You truely did love him?"
sally jumps, startled for a second, then looks at jet, who had spoken, "yes..."
"would you risk the world for your chance to save him?"
sally nodded with-out hesitation, "I'd risk more... just so that my Jack would be safe..."
Jet bowed her head, thinking... It was then Sally realised why Jet was asking this, could this little dragon give her the chance to save Jack?
the dragon closed it's eyes, in deep thought...
"please..." it was a whisper, a plead from the little rag doll... but the dragon ignored it... to ponder, to think...
Sally scoops Jet up into her arms, "please jet... he's all I really have..."
"what about danny?"
sally paused, for a second she had forgotten about danny in her grief for her husband... "Danny and Jack are all I really had... now i'm just left with danny... ... she hasn't got a dad..." and the tears flow freely again...
Jet flinches, only now truely realiseing just how much Sally needed jack...
the dragon pauses, then puts her palms together, as if praying... a loud ticking noise is heard...
sally looks around, confused and shocked as cogs and springs of a bright, vivid, pulsing purple apper around them slowly... she watches in mute horror as the dragon's eyes glow bright purple, her scales bristle up in spikes and she and the dragon are split away from the rest of the lair...
now sally can't see anything other than a bright purple... and she's scared... she clutches the dragon tightly, eyes darting around...
then the purple fades... and Sally and jet are stitting in oogie's lair...
but something is diffrent...
something is... wrong...
Sally spys Jack, standing next to the pit of lava... Looking up at oogie, who is on a platform above him. Sally drops Jet with out thinking as oogie jumps down towards jack, landing safely away from any shreads of lava that haven't gone back into the pit yet...
Jack walks over to him, and holds out a hand, "so, no-more tricks, no more pranks to try to kill me... and I let you live... oh, and no-more plans... deal?"
but insted of taking jack's hand, oogie kicks jack in the rib-cage, and punches him in the jaw... Jack stumbles back, towards the lava pit, his eyes wide, arms flailing... then oogie pushes him...
The great pumpkin king falls...
the lord of halloween and scaring yelps in shock as he plummets...
the master of fright...
Lands safely on the metal hatch of the lava pit... which has closed...
oogie yelps in shock, wondering what happened, Jack looks confused... when he sees Sally... who is holding a metal lever...
She smiles, and runs over to Jack, hugging him tightly, he smiles, and hugs her back, but can't help but be confused as to why she's there...
oogie slowly backs towards the doorway of his lair... but he bumps into danny... who growls at the pathetic sack of bugs...
there is a hesitation, then danny jumps onto oogie and wildly beats him with her fists...
Sally and jack don't notice any of this as they smile at each other... then sally starts to fade away...
sally yelps, and Jack's eye sockets go wide, "sally!? what, what's going on?! ... Sally?!"
sally shakes her head, not understanding, "I don't... I don't know..."
"I need to deal with the paradox in one way..."
Sally and Jack look towards the voice, to see jet, who is panting, lieing against the floor...
"there can't be two sallys... but don't worry, you won't die... you'll just forget the orignal outcome... it's for the best..." Jet wheezed.
Sally nodded, agreeing, while Jack looked absolutly baffled...
but by the time the other sally had come in... Sally had faded away... and the little time dragon had limped off...
haloween town was back to the way it should be...
