"I'm glad you're okay. I mean, I never really got the chance to know you, and I almost didn't get that chance." He smiled at...Oh my gosh!!.... He forgot her name!
"Oh, thank you... I'm so sorry miss, but I um.... forgot your name." Her face fell a little. "Oh, that's alright Jack. It's Sally." They reached his house in a few moments. He turned around, looked herin the eyes, and spoke softly. "Well, Sally, I hope I can see you again soon."
She smiled, nodded, and walked away. The next day she came to take him to Tyler's house. They gladly walked together, never in silence for moe then a second. When they reached his front door she said she'd be back to pick him up later.
Jack rang the doorbell and jumped when it screamed. The door opened and Jack stepped inside to seea giant fire ball headed straight towards him! He crouched down low, his knees once again over his head.
"What was that for?!" Jack screamed. Tyler stood up, quickly spun around, and hurled another one. "Lesson 1: Always expect the unexpected!" "Dumb rule if you ask me.." Jack muttered. Tyler half laughed. "You will understand more when you discover the rest of your powers. Now, THINK FAST!"
Tyler threw himslef at Jack and would've hit him except he jumped so high in the air, he hit his head on the celing. Tyler chuckled as Jack landed, rubbing his skull where he hat hit it. "Leson 2: Do not try to jump 30 feet in the air, in a 20 foot room! Now, Let us discuss battle stratagies, shall we?"
Tyler went to go sit down when Jack hurled himself at him. "Here's a lesson for you, Tyler! Never let your guard down. Tyler laughed again. "Very good, Jack."
So they got up and went to the chairs Tyler had set up in his living room.

"Hey Lock, Barrel! Get over here!" Lock ran as fast as he could, Barrel panting behind him. They could hear their sister's voice from a mile away. "Hey...Wait... UP!!" Barrel panted. "What are you look-" Barrel stopped talking once he realized what they were looking at: Oogie's skin sack was caught on a tree branch.
"Well? Are we just gonna stand here like a bunch of idiots, or are we gona go get some more bugs???" Shock hissed. So they went out to get bugs to fix Oogie. "I'll get that Jack Shellington, even if it's the last thing I do!
