The clear night soon became a dark one. The tall, skeletal ghost rides on his haunted sleigh, mushing his reindeers, laughing joyfully. Spook, invisible, sat on the trash can, thinking to himself. We had just got to a town so, better think fast. He looked down A junkyard, perfect! I'll drop the trash where they belong! Spook got off, slightly opened the lid and dropped presents one by one. Zero heard noises and began to bark.
"Something's wrong boy?" Spook quickly sat down, sweating bullets. Jack looked behind and saw nothing. "Must been hearing things." He turned away. Spook sigh. Got to be careful. He started again, only to alert Zero every time! Darn, that dog is clever. Finally, Jack had enough! He stopped the sleigh.
"Alright, reveal yourself. Nothing again. "Hmm, maybe a bat flew out of the storage. He turned away. It can't be too easy. Suddenly, Spook's body began to twist and turn! He tried to hold it in, only to revealed himself, jumped in the air and laughed. Two skeleton hands dropped from Spook's shirt and back to their owner. Spook then look down and saw Jack standing up, hands on hips and had an angry face! Shoot! Spook floated down with a nervous grin at Jack.
"Sydney 'Spook' Lockheart, why were you dropping my presents?!"
"To stop your crime!"
"What crime, I'm just delivering my presents to all good boys and girls!"
"King, Christmas is suppose to fill with joy, not terror! That's what Halloween is for!"
"Why can't a ghoul bring gifts on Christmas too?! Can't I bring holiday cheers?!"
"Cheers, not fear! King, lets go before you get both holidays in trouble!"
"Spook, Trust me. By the end of the night, you call me by my new title; Sandy Claws! I'll prove to you and Molly what I can do!" He sat down, laughed and speed away, leaving Spook to spin like a spinning top. She stopped himself.
"I may respect him but boy he is stubborn sometimes! I must not give up. Not to break Molly's wishes and for everyone's stake!. Spook trailed after him!"
Looking around the home district. Spook wonders well to look. Then he heard a crash. Spook had pin point his location! Flying up to a rooftop, there he was, preparing his toy sack!
"Found you, King!"
"Still trying to stop me? Spook, call me Sandy Claws!"
"No, you are the pumpkin king!"
"I notice you didn't help making Christmas. So, if you like to stay, you can help me deliver presents!"
"how about a big nope!" He went down the chimney.
"And I thought Molly was a handful!"
Spook looked around an ordinary living room. He see a Christmas tree. Maybe if I hide the tree, he'll have nothing to put under it.
"Um, excuse me?" He turn to find a little girl with pink nightgown and a shyly face. Shoot again! Got to appear less supernatural. "How did to get here?"
"Oh, my bad. I got lost and thought this was my house. The door was open."
"Why are you all white?"
"I got hit by a flour bag, It'll come off!"
"You got a name, I'm Maggie."
"Um, I'm Sid. Lets not ask anymore questions. Except for me. What brings you down here at this hour?"
"I heard something on the roof! I thought it was Santa!"
"No, Um, it was an earthquake! Now, go upstairs and to bed!" Spook pushed her to the stairway. Then, came Jack.
"Merry Christmas!" He cheered.
"Santa!" She ran through Spook without noticing. She looked up at him. "Where's your big belly? Do you need milk and cookies?"
"How sweet, little one." She pat her head. Spook must protect the girl. He floated up to Jack and remove his beard.
"Silly girl, this is not Santa!"
"you are Ske ske skele, Mommy! The scary skeleton ate Santa!" she ran upstairs.
"What logic is to that conclusion?!" Spook shook his head. Jack placed his beard back on.
"Now why did you scare her like that?"
"So she could she who you really are, a Skellington in Santa's clothing!"
"Spook, don't you think I know to handle young girls by now."
"Didn't it take time to develop Molly to trust you, you're rushing with her."
"That's your option to think. Now, on to the next house!" Spook stared at the presents. Maybe I'll hide them before the parents come down.
"I know want you are thinking! You are coming with me!" Jack dragged Spook's are and up the chimney they go!"
"Spook, you need to calm yourself. Maybe a present with help you."
"King, you're not going to make me help you! I'll stop you no matter how long it'll take all night!" Spook went down the chimney to the next house.
"When will that ghost boy learn?" Spook founded himself in a fancy house, with fancy furniture and a big fancy pink Christmas tree. Spook whistled.
"Hoo wee, this person is sure is wealthy. But, what to do?"
"got you!" Jack grabbed him from behind!
"Let go of me!" Spook broke free and faced him. "You can't make me stop!"
"Well, you are being a pain in the skull!"
"And what can you do about it?!" Throwing insults at each other, they stopped when they heard a dog's growled. "I don't think that's was Zero." They looked at a black bloodhound with a mean face and a spike collar.
Spook sweated again and gulp.
"Nice doggie, stay calm, nothing to see here! Please, go away!" The dog then started to bark loudly. Shoot, he'll expose us!
"Let me help, Spook." Jack made a scary face, the dog kept barking.
"Great, now the dog is barking louder!"
"My scare always seems to work, dogs can be tricky!" Spook groaned.
"Spike, is that you making that nonsense racket!" Cried a cranky voice.
"Yikes, it's the master!"
"I'll go introduce myself!"
""You can fool children but not adult! I'm not letting you scare an old lady to death! We both hide!" Spook lower Jack to a nearby house plant and turn them invisible. The slight fragile sour face elderly woman wearing a blue nightgown and a cane in hand walked downstairs and up to her barking dog, ignoring what he is barking at.
"Spike, why are you making these noises?! Want to wake the whole neighborhood?! Shameful of you to wake an old woman like me up in this hour!" She whack him with her cane! Spike whined and cover under the tree. "That'll teach you a lesson. And I thought my grandchildren were bad! If I hear one more noise from your mouth, you'll be spending Christmas in the cold!" She went upstairs and slammed the door. Spook and Jack came out of hiding.
"That nasty old hag! I was going to present her with a wreath, not worth it!' Spook see the sad dog."
"I know he was baking at us but, he was just trying to protect his master."
"You're right! I know." He pulled out a bone with a black bow out of his presents sack. " Spook, give him this bone! That'll cheer him up!" Spook slowly gave Spike the bone. In surprise, he happily accept it, even licked Spook's face. Spike took it to his bed and chew on it.
"See, Spook, is it nice to give?!"
"But, this time it wasn't scary!"
"But, bones are scary!" Spook rolled his eyes.
Back on the rooftop, Jack sat down in his sleigh.
"I admit, that was a nice thing to do."
"Feeling impress, we can make a good team!"
"Sorry King, I still won't let you spread nightmare to all! So, way don't we head on home, King?" Jack left ahead. "Oh, the nerves of that skeleton to leave me behind!" Spook gave chase. At high speed, Jack dropped presents down every chimney he flies by, leaving behind scream from kids and parents. I can't believe he's doing this again! It's up to me to save the night! Spook founded his sleigh at one house but, he was not there. Must be inside. He went down in the house. He saw Jack dumbfounded. as Spook sees why. Junk foods all on the floor, couches knocked over and spray paint all over the walls! The house was a mess!
"Did your toys did this?!"
"Trust me Spook, it was already like this. Who would trash a house?"
"Again, your toys!"
"My toys are meant to joy, not chaos!"
"Speak for yourself! Well, something destroy this house." Suddenly, something hit Spook on the back of the head. He Flinch. He pick it up.
"A pebble?"
"A ghost proof pebble!" They looked up to see a rough neck boy with a skull shirt and black PJ's pants. He ran up to them. "Straight from the ghost hunting kit! I'm a trouble making kid! My lame parents are always on the road so, I run this pad and do what ever I want!" Why does this brat reminds me of the Boogie's boys! The boy faced Jack.
"So, you're Santa? I knew he was a deadly freak.
"Why you rotten!" Jack was annoyed. The boy face Spook again.
"I love ghost, especially when they are being torture!" He spin around Spook, tied him up, as he fell down. The boy toss him next to the couch.
"Untie me you snotty brat!"
"You are my prisoner. This mop haired nerd gave me this kit and will reward me if I turn you in. So, meet my ghost ray gun!" He took in out from the couch! "Any last words, punk?!" He shove the ray up Spook's face.
"Why do I get the feeling I heard of this nerd."
"Oh dear, Time to to play peek a boo with the boy!"
Jack lifted one boney finger and shot ice magic at the ray gun, it shattered. The boy grind his teeth.
"You ruin my chance! I'll capture you too, creep face!" Jack jumped before the boy can punch him. Landing behind the boy, Jack whisper something in his ear. Bringing the boy face to fear! He shivered up to the staircase, with Jack behind him.
"Now remember. BEHAVE YOURSELF!" Jack lead out a bloodcurdling scream, causing the boy to run to his room! "I hate ghosts! That nerd better give me my money back! Whaaa, Mommy!" He slammed his door. Jack set Spook free.
"That was embarrassing, thanks for saving me. How did you tame him?"
"I whisper that if he hunts another ghost, I'll reveal his deep dark secrets to everyone he knows and I will give him nightmare for life!"
"Well I guess they don't call you King for nothing!" Jack ignored him.
"My bad, I forgot he was on the naughty list! Shall we move on?!"
"Wait one moment, King. I want to give him a present."
"What you mean by that?" Spook looked inside Jack's toy sack and pulled out the famous Scary Teddy! Spook then floated to the staircase. He looked at the bear.
"Can you listen? I want you to go to that brat's room and scare the daylights out of him!" The teddy nod! Spook threw it, as it flew away, chomping it's big sharp teeth! Spook floated back to Jack.
"I never knew you were talented, Spook! Our minds think alike!"
"Well, I've learn from you. But, I'm warning you! Just because I let one bad toy run off, doesn't mean I'll do it again!"
"Oh, Spook! Lets head back! We got a whole night ahead of us!" He rolled his eyes. Jack head up the chimney first.
Before Spook could go up, he heard an high pinch scream. Spook grin to himself, then joined up with Jack.
