Okay… this is the first "story" I have written since. Ever.
This is Nightmare before Christmas based with some other Tim Burton influence… and my own personal characters in time. If I get enough props I might continue… but I doubt I will unless I get bored.
Keep in mind I haven’t written anything in… ever. So it is crappy. Get over it.

Aah! So, very crappy. gonk

The town of Halloween gathered outside of the Church, the chilling music filled the air along side with the smell of candies and cakes. The inside of the church was decorated in all black, pumpkins and skulls dangled from roof, with a dimly lit chandler hanging over head, the buffet of bugs, molded treats, and a tall skeleton cake sat upon a tattered lace cloth on the black table in the corner of the room.
“Thank you everyone!” called a boney thin man as he stood on a chair.
“Sally and I. We… we… both appreciate all the help the people of Halloween have given us to prepare our wedding.” The boney man stepped down from the chair and took the hand of a short woman who had long red hair sitting on her shoulders and a smell of rotten corpses around her, and he squeezed her hand tightly smiling down upon the corpse woman.
“Yes.” He gentle voice whispered, “Thank you.” The small girl beamed, her pale blue cheeks brightened, her dim black eyes all aglow.
The mutant people and creatures of the town who buzzed into and out of the church cheered with joy as they were thanked.
The small girl turned to her soon-to-be and smiled,
“Thank you Jack. Thank you for everything you have given me.”
The skeleton man beamed and stroked her cheek with one his long boney fingers, “Anything for you Sally.”
As they both leaned in for a gentle kiss a man ran into the church.
“Hold it! Hold it!” called a very short fat man from the doors,
“What is it mayor?” asked Jack leaving Sally walking towards the small fat man
“We have a new face in the town of Halloween,” the Mayor announced, “She is atop the hill out in your pumpkin garden Jack!”
“A new face in Halloween?” all the people said, “How long?” “Since when?” “Who?” “Where is she from?” the room filled with questions as they circled around the mayor and Jack who stood discussing the situation. Jack turned to the people and creatures, with a sigh he cleared his voice looking sorrowfully at Sally,
“People of Halloween!” Jack began, “Sally and my wedding will be called on hold… we must consider the new arrival.”
The audience gasped and sally jumped,
“Jack!?”
“I apologize…” he whispered as he approached Sally, and kissed her forehead with his boney lips, “we must think of the new guest.”
“Everyone!” called the mayor, “To the Pumpkin Garden!”
The people and creatures turned around looking at another, shrugged, and continued out following close behind the mayor. Jack and dearest Sally followed along too,
“I got all dressed up for nothing…” Sally whispered as she fixed her dress as she walked, the dress was old and aged, made of patches old dresses and a cobweb veil.
Jack chuckled a bit,
“I too Sally.” He fixed his bat bow tie and smoothed his striped black tuxedo.
“Jack you dress like that every day!” Sally said with a laugh.
Both lovers joined in harmoniums laugher as they and the people came upon the gates to the Pumpkin Garden and their in a orange light said they most radiant of all those in Halloween, a beautiful blue skinned woman with long dark hair which dangled to her waist, she wore a tattered but handsome white dress a wedding dress to be exact and stood upon the curly hill playing gently with a blue butterfly that sat in the palm of her hand. The entire town stood in awe looking upon the beyond gorgeous woman. The girl turned only too see the faces of the people and gasped,
“No. No. No. No.” said Jack calmly as he opened the gates and approached the rather startled woman. “We meant not to scare you. Only to welcome you.” The town cheered a warm welcome to the girl, but quickly cleared out and left returning to the Church or home. Sally, being the only one left slowly came to the girl intimidated by her looks. “Thank you for the welcome.” said gorgeous woman quietly.
“I am Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King and King of Halloween. And this, in my fiancé Sally.”
“Pleased to meet both of you, I am Emily.” She said reaching out her boney hand and shook both Sally’s and Jack’s.
“Now,” started Emily, “I am in the town of Halloween?”
“Yes.” Nodded Sally.
“Hm. This Halloween in new to me… could I… I mean… ask for a tour of some sort?” Emily said taking jacks hand pulling him away from Sally, Jack looking rather startled nodded quietly and followed
“Of course.” he said with a small smile, “I’ll take Emily out for the tour Sally, I shall see you soon!” Jack called walking off with Emily, leavening Sally alone upon the hill…
