Jack remained standing up, feeling like he was going to faint (or pass out or whatever the manlier term for that is) but he didn't even know if he could do that!
Many thoughts buzzing trough his head, no wait, skull... that was gonna take some getting used to for him... All he could do was stand there for he was frozen with fear.
Tyler eventually pulled him down below the wall and waved his hand in front or Jack's face. "What has gotten into you Jack?" Tyler was about to slap Jack in the face and tell him to snap out of it, when Jack started to mummble something.
All Tyler could understand out of that was certain sentance fragments like "happen to me" and "going to do?" Tyler had a stern look on his face. "Jack, do you know what this thing is?" Jack nodded his head weakly.
"Well? Are you just going to sit there and be stupid or are you going to tell me what this thing is?" Jack shook his head to clear it. "I knew him when we were alive. His name is Oliver. Oliver Boogie."
"Well, we are just going to have to give this plan a try I guess." Tyler said, talking more to himself than to any of them.
He got up and started to walk around to the front. When he saw Oliver he himself was disgusted. He was basicly a burlap sack, puffing out like there was something stuffed inside.
I would tell you what he changed his name to, but I'm fairly sure you already know. Well if you don't here it is: Oogie. Oogie Boogie. I personaly dont get the whole rhyming thing...
"Welcom my friend, What is your name so we can arrange a meeting an-" He was stopped by Jack springing out of nowhere and tackeling him.
"What do you think you are doing??" Tyler asked angerly. "Get away from him Tyler. He's dangerous." "You do not know a thing more about him than I do!" "I do though. I know he's not here to be a regular citizen of the town."
"Jack? Jack Shellington? Is that you? Bwa ha ha ha ha! I knew this was gonna be fun, but this is gonna be so much fun, it should be illegal!" "Actually.... It is." The mayor said nervously. Oogie's eyes flamed.
Jack drew his attention away from the mayor by calling him by his real name. "Oliver? That's you? Oh my, you look so big! And no I don't mean old." Oogie Died a little inside hearing is old name.
Jack wasn't sure he knew what he was doing, but all he knew was, it was working. "Jack, you must lead him out of here. I believe you can do it." Tyler said.
"I'll try..." Jack got up from the ground where he was sitting, and walked out of the town gates, completely aware of Oogie/Oliver following him.
Oogie then began to sing when Jack reached spiral hill. "Well well well, if it isn't my old friend Jack Shellington! I'm so scared! I guess you had to face me sometime eh, old friend? You're different, you're different, I can't beleive my eyes! So this is what became of old plam tree? You ugly, you're boney, I don't know which is worse, I might just split a seam now if I don't die laughing first!"
And well you know the rest of the song. Jack stood, not really sure of what he was going to do, but he knew he had to fight Oogie. And Oogie knew he had to fight Jack.

Well, Clif Hanger time again! Will they fight? Who will win? What's happening back in Halloweentown?
