Doc and I entered the town and it was indeed a strange place to live. There were ghouls and monsters everywhere you look. There are two witches, one tall and one small. The tall one was very skinny and had a very long nose and arms. And she had a very high squeeky voice that sounded like the Wicked Witch of the West. The short one was very short, shorter than Igor and Doctor Finkelstein, she had a long snout like Doc but her nose was huge and infested with warts.
"Why hello Doctor," said the tall one giving him a ghastly smile, "you look very nice on this fine morning."
"Thank you." said Doc, tossing back another ghastly smile.
"Who's this handsome young man?" said the small witch, staring up at me.
"He's a newcomer," said Doc, "I found him in the graveyard. He will be staying with me for now on."
Then both of the witches exchanged glances then stared at me. "The graveyard?" they said together.
"Yes. He's staying with me and helping me around the lab and the house."
Then they both gave me a flirting smile that made me sick to my stomach. Their smiles are so...wicked.
"Would you like to come with us for awhile?" asked the tall one.
"Yes, yes," said the small one jumping up and down, "do stay with us, dear. We can show you around the town."
I knew it was their idea of a date and then I suddenly said, "I would but Doc has promised me to meet Jack. And I'm just DYING to meet him."
They laughed at my bad joke because when you use death as a joke around here it will always be funny to them.
"Alright then," said the tall one blowing me a kiss, "don't be a Stranger." They laughed because my last name was in that word, making it a joke. But I wasn't laughing. Then they walked away and dissapeared around the corner.
"That was...wierd." I said to Doc as we moved on.
"What was?"
"Those witches. They were flirting Doc. That's just...wierd."
"Really? I thought it was flattering. And who knows? One of them might turn out to be your first bride." Then he gave me a grin and a snicker.
"Shut up," I said giving him a frown. I hated the idea he came up with. And I gaurantee you It was not funny.
We walked down the street to Town Square. Some how it was...peaceful. There were people, or creatures, chatting with their friend. And the fountain had beautiful water. It was green and sparkling and a waterfall of it was coming from the mouth of a gargoyle. I tasted the water and it tastes better than any water I tasted.
"How is it?" said Doc, smiling.
"Tastes amazing, Doc. Where did this water come from?"
"The sewers actuallly. The sewer waters in our world are much different from yours."
"I can tell," I said smiling.
"Dr. Finkelstein!! Oh what joy to see you here," said a mysterious voice.
I turned to see another short person, but his hat was very tall as it points to the sky. The man had a happy face that looked almost like a mask. He wore a political suit with a spider bow-tie. And had a label on his suit that said "Mayor". It dosen't take a half-dead scientist to realize that he was the Mayor of this place.
"Hello Mr. Mayor," said Doc shaking hands with him, "it's a pleasure to see you here too."
Then the Mayor looked at me giving me a smile and said, "How do you do?"
I smiled and said, "How do you do?"
"And you are?"
"Strange, sir. Demonia Strange."
"My what a STRANGE name."
I didn't find it funny but I couldn't stop smiling when it comes to meeting new and strange people who tell bad jokes.
"And where did you come from, my boy?"
"The Graveyard."
His happy and cheerful face suddenly turned to a sad and frightened face and screamed, "THE GRAVEYARD?!?!?!"
"Yes?" I said puzzled.
"Did...
he sent you?"
"Mayor please," said the Doctor, "He was unconcious when I found him. He came from the human world."
The Mayor's happy face returned after hearing everthing Doc said. "Well that's wonderful!!!" he said then turned to me. "I'm sorry for my rude behavior, my boy. I just thought you were sent by
him is all."
"It's alright Mayor," I said smiling, "We all make mistakes."
"Very true. And if you're looking for Jack, he's inside the Town Hall. I would escort you in and introduce you but I'm much too busy as it is."
"We fully understand," said Doc nodding.
With a smile and a wink the Mayor walked away humming a song.
"A strange man, isn't he?" said Doc.
"Very," I said giving him a smile.
We walked into the Town Hall and saw a tall man in the shadow. He was not a man actually but he looked more like a skeleton. He noticed us walking in and came forward.
"Doctor!" he said, "It's great to see you."
"Nice to see you too, Jack."
I could not believe the name I heard and looked at the skeleton man. He matched every description Doc said to me. He was indeed Jack Skellington...The Pumpkin King.
"Who is this young fellow?" he said to Doc.
"This is Demonia Stone. He's a newcomer and he's staying with me to help me around the lab."
"Ah. Nice to meet you Mr. Strange," he said while extending his hand to shake.
"Nice to meet you, too, sir," I said shaking his hand.
"I would like for you to meet my family," he said as a woman with red hair walks out. She had stitches all over her body.
Doc had told me about this woman. Her name is Sally. She was a ragdoll created by the Doc. She sometimes sneak away from the Doctor to see Jack by poisoning him to sleep with Deadly Nightshade Soup. She left to spend the rest of her days with Jack. I can see they belong together.
"Hello," she said, "My name is Sally. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you as well," I said, smiling.
Then another ragdoll appeared and I stood there in awe
. Like her mother, she was very beautiful. She has blue skin like her mother but her hair was black and her eyes were a dark brown. She looked a year younger, but she was very, very beautiful.
"Hello," she said, "My name is Crystal."
I was speechless at the sight of her beauty for she was indeed the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
"A pleasure to meet you," I said still gazing.
She gave me a smile and my legs felt weak. There was no doubt it was love at first sight. But will she like me the same way?
