"Victor! Victor, wake up!" Jackylyn shook him but still the young man slept on. Jackylyn sighed. She had to wake him up somehow before sunrise. So she put her hands next to his ear and clapped as hard as she could. "Oh!" Victor sat up, wide awake. "What on eart-" he started saying. "Shhhhhhhhh!" Jackylyn put her finger to her lips. "What on earth did you do that for?" he whispered. "To wake you up," Jackylyn said simply, "Now get up. It's already 4:15 and we need to get a move on if we want to get there on time." "Get where?" Victor asked, confused. "To the Hinterlands. We need to get out soon because, knowing my luck, something's gonna get us sidetracked on the way there. You have fifteen minutes to get ready, okay?" "Okay."
Sixteen minutes later, Jackylyn gently closed the door behind her, then sighed. 'Nothing's happened yet,' she thought, 'let's just hope it stays that way.' As Jackylyn and Victor were walking toward the gate out of town, the mayor of Halloween Town saw them and walked anxiously to them. "Jackylyn! There you are! I've been wanting to talk to you, " the mayor said, his face on the pessimist side. Then he noticed Victor. "Who's this?" "I'm Victor and I'm new here, though not as new as I used to be," Victor said, not flinching at all when the mayor's head swivled to the optimistic side. "I'm the mayor of Halloween Town," the mayor said proudly. "Yes, I can tell," Victor said, resisting the urge to stare at the mayor's absurdly tall hat. "Mayor, what did you want to talk to me about?" Jackylyn said, returning to the earlier subject. "Oh, right," the mayor said, head swiveling again, "It's about you're marriage to the new pumpkin king next ye-" "WHAT?! NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A MARRIAGE," she shreiked. "Well, yes, of course there's going to be a marriage," The Mayor confirmed, "Every 31 years there's a new king. And since you're the present pumpkin king's daughter, you have to marry the new pumpkin king. I would have thought that you would know that by now. Now the problem is-" But never heard what the problem was, because she ran straight toward the graveyard, straight to Spiral Hill, and hid. Victor came after her, and found her crying under the spiral. She heard his footsteps and looked up. "How could they arrange a marriage for me and not even tell me?" she said, "The new pumpkin king's going to be horrible and I'm going to hate him!" She hugged her knees to her chest and put her chin on them. "That's how all arranged marriages work out," she said sadly. Victor sat down beside her. "I had an arranged marriage," he said softly, "I heard about it only a week before and I love my wife more than anything." "Really?" Jackylyn said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. Well, maybe he won't be so bad." She stood up and helped Victor to his feet. " Come on, let's get you back home to your wife you love so dearly," she said, smiling. Then they heard giggling. They turned around and saw three children wearing masks. "Lock, Shock, Barrel, we're in the middle of something, so get back to your tree house," Jackylyn said. "How sweet..." "...The two lovebirds..." "...Sharing a moment together." The trio started giggling again. Jackylyn's face grew red and her eyes shined with hate. She went around the hill and came back with a large stick from the fence. "If you three don't shut up and get the heck out of here in three seconds...," she started. "Oh, you two want a private moment together," Lock said. That did it. Victor watched helplessly while Jackylyn chased the evil threesome screaming "DIE EVIL MIDGETS!!!!!" at the top of her lungs. Then he saw a fallen tombstone right in Jackylyn's path. "Jackylyn, watch-" But he said it too late. Jackylyn had already tripped over the tombstone, hit her head on another nearby tombstone, and was out cold. "Quick, get the rope, Barrel, before she wakes up," Shock said. Barrel came back with some rope. "So what are we going to do with her?" Barrel asked as Lock and Shock tied Jackylyn's hands and feet together. "For the millionth time, you retard, we're going to take her to Oogie Boogie," Lock said exasperatedly. "Don't you remember, you idiot," Shock said sharply, "Oogie said to bring back either Jack or another Skellington." "But why are we taking her?" Barrel asked, "She doesn't look anything like a skeleton." "SKELLINGTON, NOT SKELETON, YOU MORON!!!" Lock and Shock yelled. "I am not a moron," Barrel sulked. Unseen by the quarreling trio, Victor had slipped out to go find help.
Sirius was woken up by pounding on the front door. He looked at the clock. It was 5:30 in the morning. He shuffled downstairs sleepily to see who could possibly be up right now. Scraps, who was still there, was barking at the door. Sirius opened it and saw Victor, nervous and out of breath from running all the way, standing on the porch. "Sirius," Victor said, "Lock...Shock...Barrel..." He looked about ready to collapse. "Victor," Sirius said, "calm down-" "There's no time to calm down!" Victor said quickly. Then he told Sirius everything that had happened. "Oh no, this is bad," Sirius said, pacing and running his hand through his hair, "Where did they say they were taking her?" "To someone called Oogie Boogie," Victor said. Sirius stopped pacing. "O-Oogie B-B-Boogie?"Sirius stuttered, "Oh, no, Oh no, this is even worse than before." "Is there some way I can help?" Victor asked. "Maybe there is," Sirius said, hope shining in his eyes. He ran out of the room for a second, then he came back with a jar that had a strange green blob in it. "This," he said, "is my dad's Soul Robber. It wouldn't get near me and Jackylyn when we were going to use it on the mayor, so we think that only a selected amount of people can use it. Try it." Sirius unscrewed the top and the Soul Robber practically jumped to get on Victor's wrist. "Awesome!" Sirius said, "Now, for some reason, when you're going to do an attack, you need to say 'Soul Robber' so keep that in mind, alright?" Victor nodded then ran out the door. Scraps barked after he had left. "You said it Scraps. We probably aren't going to ever see them again."
