Lock sighed. "I know that I have to ask, but I don't like it," she hissed. "I hate not being able to move around easily by myself, like you can." But she didn't threaten to hurt anyone this time. Barrel picked Angelica up. "Do you want a piggyback ride? I'll give you one, if you want," he offered.

The little girl nodded eagerly, smiling. She was trying her hardest to forget that she had a...a problem. She just wanted to be normal, but she doubted that was going to happen. "Well, I hate being human while you and Barrel are Halloween creatures." Shock countered Lock's complaints. "It makes me feel...vulnerable, much more than anything else."

Lock made a face. "I know. And humans are easy to kill," she agreed. "So I'm sorta glad that I died, even if it means I can't walk. I got my tail again, and my teeth. I'm not defenseless, like humans are." She glanced up at Shock. "No offense Shock, but you're not that scary as a human." "Okay then. Wrap your arms around my neck, but not too tightly. I still need to breathe," Barrel told Angelica with a smile, carefully lifting her over his shoulders and onto his back.

"Yeah, I know, completely deffenceless and not scary." Shock said, drooping slightly. "I'm cute though, right?" He asked, slightly egotistically. Angelica wrapped her arms around Barrel's neck, loose enough so that he could breathe, imagining the Halloween Town graveyard. The image was slightly fuzzy, because she had only seen the graveyard a few times closely.

Lock rolled her eyes. "No. You're not cute. You're REALLY cute," she told Shock, giggling quietly. "Ready to go visit Jack and Sally?" Barrel asked, turning towards town. He paused. "Uh... Laura? Where do you think they are?"

Lock's complement cheered Shock up quite a bit. Maybe being human wasn't too bad. But his emo haircut kept getting in his eyes. "Hmmm..." Laura thought for a minute. "Jack probably made sure all the bugs were dead, then went to Town, so he's either trapped by the Mayor in a planning session, or he's with Sally somewhere."

Lock looked up at Shock. "Can we go now?" she asked impatiently. Barrel laughed. "He's probably with the Mayor. Halloween's only a few days away," he told Laura. "Well, we'd better rescue him." He thought for a moment. "And Sally's probably waiting for Jack to escape the Mayor."

Angelica felt slight aprehension. She didn't know the Mayor, had never met him before. So she wouldn't be able to use a mental picture. "Good idea," Laura agreed. "Let's go guys!" Again, she took the lead, heading for Halloween Town. Shock, on Lock's orders, hurried after her, glancing to see if Barrel was following.

"Ready Angelica?" Barrel asked. Without waiting for a reply, he hurried after Laura and Shock, hands behind him to help hold Angelica on his back. He didn't want her to fall off and get hurt. Lock smirked. "Shock's my trusty steed!!" she said with an evil grin.

"Oh shut up," Shock muttered good humoredly. He was trying not to let Lock get to him, so he decided to pretend he didn't see the evil grin. Angelica rested her chin on Barrel's shoulder, staring, of course, at nothing. She felt depressed, she couldn't help it. She couldn't do anything without help now. She couldn't do anything on her own, and she didn't know where to go if there wasn't some sound to tell her. She wished her sight could come back.

"My knight in stolen armor!" Lock was shrieking with laughter. Barrel followed close behind Shock, and couldn't help but laugh quietly at Lock's comment. "We did steal a lot of stuff when we were younger," he admitted.

Angelica couldn't help but giggle a little. Not only was Lock funny, but she was happy that the devil girl was a little cheered up. "Stolen armor?" Shock raised an eyebrow. "Does it look like I'd steal armor? Wait...don't answer that." Laura smirked. Then she stopped, Shock almost walking into her. "Hey-!" "We're at Town Hall!" She announced; she figured they'd be here because the Mayor was too wide to fit in Jack's door.

Lock lifted her head. "What? Already?" she asked, slightly disappointed. She had enjoyed teasing Shock. Barrel strode up to the door, and cautiously knocked. "Jack? You in there?" he called.

Jack looked up from where he was, regretfully, planning an already planned Halloween with the Mayor. "I better get that!" He almost ran across the hall and slipped outside, closing the door behind him. "What's wrong guys?" Jack immediately could tell something was wrong. But, he was gratefull for a reason to abandon the Mayor. Angelica's head, on Barrel's shoulder, snapped up. "Hi Jack!" she said hapilly.

"Hi Jack," Lock greeted, almost immediately becoming unenthusiastic. "Um... Planning with the Mayor? That what you were doing?" She was reluctant to tell what was wrong. Barrel smiled. "Hi Jack! I was just taking Angelica here to visit you and Sally. Speaking of Sally... Where is she? With Finklestein? Graveyard? Spiral Hill?" If anyone knew where the ragdoll was, it would be Jack. Sally was, in fact, sneaking around the Doctor's lab, trying to get to her suply of herbs without the old duck-man noticing her.
