Lock, Shock and Barrel stumble into a new world, the Shadow world. They then meet their shadow forms Lok Stock and Barrle (the name is pronounced Barrel its just spelled different).
It was a cold, brutal night in Halloween Town. Every one in town was fast asleep, except for Lock, Shock, and Barrel. The three were running far past the grave yard and far into the Hinterlands.
“Lock, this isn’t the right way!” Shock scolded as she took her mask off and hit Lock with it.
“I KNOW WHERE WE’RE GOING!” Lock yelled back. Shock rolled her eyes and kept silent which was unusual.
“So remind me again what we’re doing again?” Barrel asked licking his lollipop.
“Are you really that dumb?” Shock asked, annoyed at Barrel.
“We’re gonna T.P. the Fourth of July.” Lock reminded.
“Couldn’t we have done that to Jack?” Barrel asked.
“He would know it was us.” Shock added.
“But doesn’t the Fourth of July know us?” Barrel asked again.
“No you’re thinking of the Saint Patrick’s day Barrel.” Lock replied. The three stopped walking for a second, thinking about that day in Saint Patrick’s Day.
It came to be morning and the trio arrived in a different area of the forest. The three had never seen it before. There were no trees in sight, but there was a never-ending brick wall; in the wall was a mirror. Shock pushed Barrel to go check it out, so he did. Though when Barrel walked up to the mirror he did not see his reflection, instead he saw Halloween Town.
“Hey you guys, look!” Barrel said gazing at the mirror. Shock and Lock walked up to look at the mirror; Shock put her hands over on the brick wall to lean on. But as Shock leaned on the wall she fell right through.
As Shock fell, she grabbed onto Lock, who then grabbed onto Barrel and they all fell through the wall causing a great crash.
“Ow, that looked like that hurt.” A voice echoed, though no one but the trio was around. The three looked around and they saw that they were back in Halloween Town (or so they thought).
“How’d we get back in Halloween town?” Shock wondered to herself.
“Wow she looks like you Stock.” Another voice said.
“SHH!! For crying out loud.” A male’s voice scolded,
“They’re uprights, you guys, just like Boogie was saying!” The first voice said.
“Who’s there?!” Lock demanded.
“Yeah, show yourself!” Shock commanded in the same tone. It was then that a female who looked like Barrel walked out and licked a big red lollipop, then a girl who looked like Lock came out, followed by a boy who looked like Shock.
“I’m Lok.” The one who looked like Lock said.
“I’m Stock.” The boy said. “And this is my sister Barrle.” The boy finished pointing at the girl who looked like Barrel. Barrle waved at the other trio.
“I’ve never seen an upright before.” Barrle said walking up to Barrel. “Why, you look just like me!” Barrel looked over Barrle and smiled.
“Why do you call us that!?” Lock asked rudely. Barrle glared at Lock.
“You come from the real Halloween Town, therefore you are upright. As for this Halloween Town.” Barrle continued motioning around the Town they were in. “This is the Shadow world. We’re your shadows.”
“But when they’re here aren’t they our shadows?” Stock added.
“Shh! You’ll confuse them.” Barrle quickly said. Shock looked at the ground and saw no shadow underneath her.
“So you’re saying you’re the other us?” Barrel asked. And Lok, Stock, and Barrle all nodded.
“So then why are you a girl?” Lock asked rudely, pointing at Lok.
“What’s the opposite of male?” Lok said being a smart-aleck. Lock paused for a long second giving Lok a glare down.
“Shut up.” Lock finally said as he crossed his arms. Lok smirked.
“Make me.” Lok replied. Shock walked over to Stock and looked him over.
“So our shadows are completely opposite from each other?” Shock asked. Stock looked over at Barrel and Barrle; the two were licking both their lollipops. Stock laughed.
“Looks like they’re not entirely opposites!” Stock said as he continued laughing.
“I like this place, you guys.” Barrel said smiling at Barrle who smiled back.
“Who cares what you think Barrel.” Lock shot out and Barrle growled at Lock. Lok glared at Barrle and got an evil smirk.
“Oh that’s right!” Lok started. “Hey Barley, can you please do me a favor?” Lok said getting all smart-alecky again.
“It’s pronounced BARREL!!!” Barrle yelled.
“It’s spelled B-a-r-r-l-e, that makes it Barley.” Lok shot back.
“It’s pronounced BARREL!!!” Barrle yelled again. Lok chuckled, getting a kick out of annoying her. Unfortunately Lock did too, and started laughing.
“Barley! Your name is BARLEY!!” Lok tuned. Barrle yelled in frustration and tackled Lok. Stock started laughing at the sight of Barrle losing her cool, which was never unusual. Barrle started hitting Lok forcibly with her lollipop. Barrel noticed Stock was doing nothing so he ran and pulled Barrle away from Lok, and Lock pulled Lok out of the way of getting hurt; Stock kept laughing at Lok.
“It’s not funny, her lollipop hurts, man.” Lok said holding her eye. Shock looked at Barrle who was breathing heavily with anger.
“Man, Barrel, she is a whole lot meaner then you are.” Shock said surprised. Barrel looked at Barrle who then smiled and licked her lollipop.
“So,” Shock continued. “Is there an opposite Oogie Boogie here too?” Shock finished. Lok, Stock, and Barrle all exchanged looks.
“Follow me.” Stock said, walking off as the others followed.
They soon came up to what looked like Jack’s house. Stock pulled down the Dice bell and a slot machine sound played as the bell. The door opened and a female version of Oogie Boogie appeared.
“What are you three doing here?” Boogie asked then noticed Lock, Shock and Barrel.
“Lock, Shock, Barrel, meet Boogie the Pumpkin Queen.” Stock said.
