The iron gates of Halloween town lifted up as Jack walked through with great pride and a bit overconfidence. I laughed a bit at this and I heard Sam even let out a giggle. The rest of the walk had been quiet, too many thoughts had been going through my head to say anything. I looked around slowly, observing the town carefully. Almost as if I were trying to memorize every crack, bump, turn, and twist. It was all soaking in too quickly. I was here, actually in Halloween town, next to Jack Skellington himself. How could this all be possible? Perhaps...I shouldn't question it. I have always been that kind of girl to think more of things. To think that something better than a regualr life was out there, and now, I had found it. Sam seemed to be a bit more alert then I was. I was a bit dazed and wasn't really paying attention to many of the activities going around us. I let out a sigh in happiness as I felt a hand grab around my wrist, I didn't really react as I thought I would.
"Come along my dear." He ordered calmly, pulling me gently along so I could keep up. My focus snapped back but I didn't try to pull away from him. We walked for a couple more seconds when Jack came to a stop, releasing his grip on my wrist. I took a sidestep to Sam and looked at her with curious eyes. She looked back to me and shrugged, obviously not sure what was going on too. Jack had stopped in front of a short and stout man, who I knew as the mayor. His face was clicked to his happy side, with an over exagerated smile, and his twisted eye. He looked to Jack still with his happy side.
"Everything is going according to plan Jack." He announced happily, Jack smiled at this slightly and was about to say something when mayor interrupted. His face immediantly spun to his worried/depressed side as he actually hide behind Jack. It took me a second to realize he was staring at me and Sam.
"Jack what are those!?" He asked in fear and shock as he clung to Jack's pant leg using one leg to point at me and Sam. I raised an eyebrow in confusion, what a scardy cat.
"Mayor, this is Jennifer, and Samantha." He introduced us pointing to me then Sam, I tried to hide my anger of him using our full names. I found my self control to crack a smile and Sam let out a small wave.
"But Jack, they're humans!" He shouted, a couple of people walking on the streets stopped and stared. I looked around at the few that had stopped then turned back to Jack and the mayor.
"I am fully aware of that mayor. This is what I came to discuss, I want a town meeting set up as soon as possible. Understood?" Jack asked, looking down the mayor who had come out from hiding behind him slightly. He rung his hands together nervously.
"But Jack...are you sure we should ma-." Jack cut him off.
"Now mayor, I want no questions. Everything shall be discussed, understood?" He asked again this time his voice getting a bit more stern, without another thought mayor nodded and ran off to his hearse. I looked up to Jack and I couldn't help but say.
"Nicely handled." I commented, he chuckled at this a bit and bowed his head a bit.
"Thank you my dear." He replied, I rolled my eyes, 'my dear'? How tackey, I laughed a bit and looked around, my gaze fell to town hall.
"Well, we best be getting you two ready for the meeting." Jack stated, I turned to Jack and raised an eyebrow.
"You want us in the meeting?" I asked, he chuckled once more.
"Of course, the whole meeting will you about you two." He stated, I turned to Sam hoping for an answer to why, but she just gave me a shrug. I sighed and looked to Jack, who had his hands stretched out, without much thinking, Sam took one and held on. He looked to me with a reasurring look.
"Come now Jennifer, you can trust me." He said sticking his hand out more, it's not that I didn't trust Jack, I loved him to death but. Let's just say my mind has been a bit jumbled lately. I wasn't sure who to trust, Jack or not. I decided the hell with it and grabbed his hand, and with that we walked off to town hall.

Oogie's POV
I tapped my foot impaciently, as Shock scurried in carrying her giant spell book, a bit too big for her to carry. In the middle of the casino was a pot filled with various ingredients and such. I wasn't exactly sure what she put in it, and frankely I didn't care. My gaze went over to Lock and Barrel, who were huddled in a corner of the casino, I rolled my sockets and turn back to Shock as she set the book down on the roulette table. She opened to a book marked page and I walked over, looking over her shoulder.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" I asked, my voice making her jump a bit, she turned to me, her body shaking with fear.
"Ye...yes sir." She replied, her voice matching her body movement, I nodded and walked over to the pot. I picked up a ladel and placed some of the green liquid in a small vile.
"I just drink it?" I said, not looking at her, keeping my focus on the bottle.
"Yes sir." She replied once more, I shrugged and looked to her.
"Ready?" I asked her, she nodded and gripped her hands on the book, ready to recite. I looked back to the drink and chugged it down in one gulp. My whole body then began to glow a soft black, I heard Shock's words running through my head.
"When the moonlight is high, and the timing is right. Transform this creature this very night. The pysical form is broke then revive, make the form of thought alive!" She shouted and I felt my whole body begin to change, I felt lighter and shorter. The black light had finally dissapeared and I quickly turned to her. Her eyes had widened as she took a step back.
"Sir!" She said in complete shock, I raised an eyebrow. She stared at me for a few seconds before saying.
"It worked."
