Yeah, most of our objects end in "doom"! Bwahahahahaha!
------------- Chapter Twelve "Spiders Aren't Bugs... Right?"
Kkaribbdys was walking deeper into the forest, carrying us on his back, and being a real pain in the rear. He was about fifty bajillion times larger than the three of us combined, and he was misbehaving. Well... he's actually not that much bigger than Jack. Exaggerating is fun, no? The crocowolf turned his head to snap at us, but Shock was prepared. She whipped him on his scaly nose with the end of the chain she was holding. Kkaribbdys gave her the death glare and stopped walking, rubbing his nose. "Can you three be any more annoying!?" he asked.
"Yup!" Lock said proudly, showing the creature a pink stuffed rabbit- held with tweezers and rubber gloves.
Kkaribbdys howled and shut his eyes tight. "Get that thing away from me!" he growled, lifting his tail. We happened to be ready for that atack, too. Lock held the rabbit so it touched the tip of our "friend's" tail. Kkaribbdys moaned softly and began jumping around, trying to throw us off.
"Hold on tight!" Shock yelled, a huge grin on her face.
"YEEHAW!" Lock shouted, clutching a handful of Kkaribbdys's fur. I was too busy laughing to say anything as I kept a tight grip on the chain, having snatched it from Shock.
"I love having Kkaribbdys as a pet!" Shock screeched excitedly. Lock and I cautiously let go of our handholds, and enjoyed the ride.
Kkaribbdys suddenly stopped, throwing us off. With a smirk, he began to race off- and stayed in place as Shock grabbed the chain. "No you don't, bud," she informed him, pulling the chain tighter.
Kkaribbdys groaned as he frantically clawed at his throat, trying to loosen the chain. With a laugh, Shock climbed onto the crocowolf's throat and loosened the chain enough so he could breathe. Lock climbed up next, and I followed. We continued through the woods until we found a giant spider. It was HUGE! And I thought Jack and Kkaribbdys were tall... Anyways, the spider was one of Oogie's faithful bug followers, even though it technically wasn't a bug. Hmm. I'll have to ask him about that sometime. We brought the spider back to town and hid it in an old building, giggling the whole time. Kkaribbdys finally spoke up. "Spiders aren't bugs. Tell that to Oogie," he said in an annoyed voice, then winced as Lock whacked him with a plunger.
------------ Chapter Thirteen "Doctor Finklestein"
"Who do we prank next? Who do we prank next?" Shock whispered, jumping up and down in excitement. It was the big decision. Kkaribbdys sighed and rolled his eyes.
Lock came up with an answer. "How about we prank..." he paused for effect, "FINKY!" He was met with two cheers and an almost inaudible groan. Shock made a face and whacked Kkaribbdys with Lock's plunger, then quickly handed it back to the devil-boy.
"But how will we prank him?" I wondered.
"GIANT SNAKE GIANT SNAKE GIANT SNAKE!" Shock shrieked.
Kkaribbdys rolled his eyes again. "Seriously, kids, just leave the citizens alone! Oogie's just using you for his own evil!"
"Nuh-uh! We're doing it for FUN!" Lock protested, sticking out his tongue.
"Then what do you three get out of it? What is your reward?" the crocowolf asked.
"Um... uh... SHUT UP!" Shock shouted, snatching Lock's plunger again and whacking Kkaribbdys's snout.
"OW! WHEN I CATCH YOU, I'LL-" Kkaribbdys growled, lunging at Shock and stopped. While Shock was distracting him, Lock and I had tied the chain to a tree. Tightly.
We snickered. "See ya later, Kkaribbdys!" Lock yelled, pushing Shock and me in the direction of the forest. "We gotta go get that giant snake!"
Kkaribbdys sighed. "Kids these days..." he muttered.
We dragged the snake out of the woods. It obviously didn't want to come with us, because it kept burying it's fangs in the ground. After lots of pulling, we finally managed to let the snake loose in doctor Finklestein's lab. Somewhere inside, however, I lost my lollipop. I was grumbling angrily to myself, and muttering about how black licorice with cinnamon swirl was my favorite type of lollipop, when we finally exited the lab and untied a furious Kkaribbdys. "Don't kill us?" Shock asked, making a "cute little girl" face. Sometimes, it's useful having a girl as a friend. Our crocowolf sighed but didn't say anything. We cheered happily and climbed on his back.
---------------------- Chapter Fourteen "Corpse Kid"
We yanked Kkaribbdys's chain until he stopped. We began brainstorming ideas. "Let's pour scorpion scales in Jack's lunch," Lock suggested.
"Nah, let's put grasshopper guts in the Mayor's hat!" I said excitedly.
"Nope, you're both not thinking. What if we kidnapped a citizen?" Shock said slowly. "And then brought the citizen to the pumpkin patch? We'd make the Behemoth mad!"
"Why's that?" Lock asked. Seriously, he needs to think once in a while.
"Because the Behemoth is the pumpkin gardener!" I told my devil friend. "And then we could leave our citizen attached to a... POSSESSED PUMPKIN!" The three of us cheered. "Who should we kidnap?" I asked.
"Well... we could kidnap the Corpse Kid... because he wouldn't give us the candy when we first asked for it," Shock said thoughtfully.
"Aw, how come I never have good ideas?" Lock whined.
"Shut up!" Shock yelled.
"Make me!" was Lock's "genius" reply.
"Let's just go," I said in a bored voice. "To Halloweentown!" Shock kicked and poked Kkaribbdys until he sighed and began walking towards the center of town. The Corpse Kid was spotted.
"There he is!" Shock whispered, putting on a fake smile. "Hey Corpse Kid! We're sorry for stealing your candy, so we decided to make it up to you!"
"How's that?" Corpse Kid asked suspiciously.
"We're gonna give you a ride on the crocowolf!" I shouted, poking Kkaribbdys in the ear. "He won't bite!" Naturally, Kkaribbdys chose that moment to try to rip my arm from my body with his teeth. I quickly pulled back. "He doesn't bite, trust me!" I said, with a glare at our crocowolf.
"Okay then..." the Corpse Kid said, with a nervous glance at Kkaribbdys. Shock slid off his back and quickly bagged the Corpse Kid. None of us noticed the Mayor, who immediately turned and walked away. "HEY! LET ME OUT OF THIS BAG!" he yelled, kicking and squirming. Lock quickly urged Kkaribbdys away to the pumpkin patch. When we arrived, Lock and Shock grabbed the bag containing the yelling Corpse Kid and began dragging it, while I led the way to our Possessed Pumpkins. We dumped Corpse Kid out of the bag and quickly attached a Possessed Pumpkin to his head, cackling and giving each other high-fives as we sped away, looking for the Behemoth.
---------
The Mayor pounded on Jack's door. "JACK! JACK!" he yelled, then remembered that Jack was over at the doctor's house. He quickly climbed down the stairs and raced to doctor Finklestein's house, and ran into Jack. "Jack, Jack! Lock, Shock, and Barrel have the Corpse Kid!" he gasped.
"Where did they take him?" a frowning Jack asked.
"They were heading towards the pumpkin patch! Oh, but what if they left him by those Possessed Pumpkins? I'm only an ELECTED official! I can't rescue the Corpse Kid by myself!" the Mayor wailed.
"Calm down. I'll deal with those brats as soon as I find the doctor!" Jack said, pushing the Mayor away. "Maybe he's in here..." Jack opened the door and pulled out his Bat Boomerang as a giant snake, gripping Finklestein in its coils, lunged at the skeleton.

Moo ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha!
------------- Chapter Fifteen
In the few hours left before Halloween, we made lots of mischief. We installed machines to bother the leeches. Watching our handiwork, Lock laughed when the leeches attacked the Wolfman. Riding our crocowolf, Kkaribbdys, we headed to the Graveyard and pulled the Melting Man apart, distributing his body parts around the graveyard. Shock scolded me when I dropped one of his eyes, however… Anyways, then we began destroying all the streetlights in the town. If nobody could see us, our pranks would be even more fun! However, we were in the Graveyard again, and Jack found us. Jack glared, and we panicked. Shock whipped Kkaribbdys and we smashed through barriers, trying to escape the wrath of the Boneman
"What are you kids doing!?" Jack asked angrily, finally catching us.
He had hit us with multiple blasts of Frog's Breath, so we weren't thinking straight. If you didn't know, Frog's Breath smells HORRIBLE. We froze, trying to think of a quick lie. Having nothing better to say, Lock said, "Um… hi?"
"How are you today?" Shock added.
"Why are you three trying to ruin Halloween?" Jack demanded.
"We're working!" I blurted, then cowered as Shock punched me. "Hey! Knock it off!" I whined as she began strangling me.
Lock frowned. "You're so stupid, Barrel! You're not supposed to tell!" Even though he seemed mad, he pulled Shock off of me.
Rubbing my throat, I gasped, "We have a present for ya, Boneman." I threw a box at him and we ran, leaving Kkaribbdys behind.
"Kids these days…" the crocowolf muttered as he turned and headed for the forest.
"Oh no! There's someone in the way!" Shock wailed. She grabbed the collar of my shirt and dragged me in a different direction. Lock gasped and ran after us. We finally reached our treehouse.
"Since when did Jack get mad about Halloween?" Lock asked.
Shock and I shrugged. "Hey, wait. What's that noise?" I cried. We listened carefully. "The elevator!" we gasped, staring at each other wide-eyed. The creaking stopped, then sped up as there was a yell. "Jack the Boneman!" I said cheerfully. "Oogie got him!"
We raced over to the bug chute. Lock stuck his head inside and listened, repeating everything said. "Oogie says Halloween will now be Crawloween," Lock reported. Shock cheered.
Meanwhile, I raced over to our trapdoor and pulled the elevator up. "Let's get a better look!" I grinned, opening the door. I climbed in behind Lock and Shock and we descended.
We burst into the room, causing an annoyed Jack to glare at us. "Oogie! We fixed the elevator!" we yelled.
Oogie grinned. "Excellent! I'll see you in my REAL lair with that ragdoll!" The three of us rode the elevator down, with Oogie taking one of his passages.
Jack burst into the lair. "Hello Boneman!" Lock yelled.
"Where's Sally!?" Jack growled.
I looked around nervously. "Well, you see… we're not allowed to tell."
"And why not?" Jack asked, striding over to stand in front of us. He glared down at the three of us.
"Oogie will…" Lock said nervously.
"He'll…" Shock shivered.
"He'll beat us up!" I whimpered.
"It's ME you three should be worried about!" Jack roared.
We screamed and ran. "COME BACK HERE!" Jack yelled, chasing us. Turning to see Jack, Shock urged us to run faster.
We finally skidded to a halt. "Hey, who wanted to come this way!?" I asked.
Lock pointed to Shock. "It was her idea!"
"Was not!" Shock yelled, taking off her mask and smacking Lock with it.
"Was too!" he replied, then punched my face, knocking off my mask.
"HEY! I didn’t do anything, moron!" I shouted. Then, I shrugged. "Well, at least this room has lots of nasty surprises!"
Jack burst into the room. "Surprises? What surprises?" he asked. "Kids! ANSWER ME!"
We laughed and began running, making sure that Jack followed. We stopped and picked up cages of bugs. "DIE BONEMAN!" I shrieked, throwing a caged bug at Jack. He frowned and began pushing us.
"Hey… Hey! Whatcha doing!?" Shock yelled nastily, throwing another bug at the skeleton. "BUG WAR!" she shrieked. The three of us threw caged bugs as fast as we could at Jack, who pushed us until he had us cornered.
I backed up a tiny bit and stopped as I felt pinpricks of pain. Slowly turning my head, I groaned when I saw that Jack cornered us against the wall with spikes on it. "I'll ask one last time. Where is Sally!?" Jack hissed.
"Sorry sorry sorry!" we wailed. "She's with Oogie! Here's a present for your trouble!" Shock handed him a present as Lock threw a smoke bomb.
Jack said loudly, "You'll find Oogie if you go through those ducts!" Cackling, we escaped down into the ducts leading to Oogie's lair.
After many twists and turns, and getting lost more than once, we arrived in Oogie's lair. "And when Halloweentown becomes Bug Town, it will be ours to play with!" Shock piped up, on response to Jack's statement. We climbed into Oogie's machine and began attacking Jack.
"I am the real Pumpkin King! Change Halloweentown back to the way it was!" Jack yelled, throwing a Bat Boomerang at our machine, while we shot cannonballs at him. The boomerang hit a couple of times, then the machine broke down. Lock gasped and began quickly fixing the machine as Shock and I prepared for the next attack.
Lock climbed out of the machine and threw a spiked ball at Jack, then ducked back inside. Shock was next. She jumped out and threw firecrackers at Jack. She aims better than you'd think… She actually hit him, unlike Lock. She crawled back into the machine. It was my turn. I leaped out and held up a wooden shield. Hiding behind the shield, I threw three balls at Jack. We continued this pattern as Jack kept throwing his boomerang at our machine. Finally, right before I climbed out of the machine to attack, the machine burst into flames. The three of us panicked at the sight of the flames. Lock and Shock crawled out from underneath the flaming metal and raced to Jack, hugging his legs tightly. I followed them. As the scent of smoke and red-hot metal filled my nostrils, I began screaming. There was only one thing I could think of doing. "Stop!" I yelled, skidding to a halt. "Drop! Roll!" I dropped to the ground and began rolling, until a hand lifted me into the air, holding me by the collar. "No! No! Bad fire!" I shrieked, clawing at Jack, who sighed and began the walk back to Halloweentown.
-----------
Jack watched Lock and Shock. "You two okay?" he asked, ignoring the screams coming from upstairs. Shock nodded her head.
Lock told Jack, "Barrel will just freak out like for a couple of hours. It scares him, you know, it's how we died." A loud crash came from upstairs, and there was silence. Jack ascended the stairs and slowly opened the door to the room he had locked Barrel in. The tall dresser was on the floor, with a sleeping Barrel next to it. Jack smiled and quietly shut the door.

HEhehehehehehehehehe glad to know ya like it. The next chapters should get more familiar...
-------------------- Chapter Sixteen "Halloween"
I woke up a little while later. I sat up and wandered downstairs. "Loooock? Shoooooock?" I called. "Where are yooooooou?" There were whispers and rustling noises coming from behind me. I whirled around. "Come on Lock, come on Shock. Let's go trick-or-treat."
"All right!" Lock yelled, stepping out of the shadows.
"Stupid devil! Did you do your research?" Shock asked, standing next to him.
"Yup!" Lock said proudly.
"Okay then. Let's go before Jack forbids us!" Shock whispered. We crept out of the house and raced for the forest. I pulled the door open and we silently- well, silently for us, anyways- slipped through the door.
"TRICK-OR-TREAT!"
A few hours later, we climbed back through the pumpkin tree, cold and exhausted, dragging bulging candy sacks behind us. Shock led the way to the treehouse, as I was stuck holding her candy bag. I trailed behind Lock, peering around Shock's sack of candy. "Lock... you said that there would be no snow..." I whined.
Lock growled, "I looked it up, okay!? It said that they got little snow down in that capital place!"
We had to send the candy up first with Shock, then she lowered the elevator so Lock and I could enter the treehouse. Shock flopped onto a ratty couch and moaned, "I don't want to see another potato for the rest of my natural lifespan..." It was true. We had trick-or-treated in the land of potatoes: Idaho. And it had snowed earlier that day, so we were walking waist-high in snow in the capital, uh, it began with a B... I think. Well... anyways, the snow was waist-high to me, and I'm about three and one half feet tall, so it was deep. And cold.
The elevator creaked. "Children?" Jack's voice came drifting through one of our broken windows.
"Hide the candy!" Shock hissed.
I scrambled to obey, dragging the candy into our weapon closet. "Hahaha! Nobody will think to look in here!" I giggled quietly, pulling the curtain closed.
Jack climbed into the treehouse, keeping a safe distance from our attack witch, who was currently waving a pitchfork at the skeleton. "Kids, I thought I told you to stay in this treehouse instead of trick-or-treating."
Lock and Shock exchanged a nervous glance. It appears that they promised while I was asleep. "Yeah, but Jack..." Lock whined.
Shock interrupted. "We were here the whole time, Boneman!" she lied.
Jack sighed. "Listen kids, don't lie. I was here ten minutes ago and this place was as lifeless as you were when I brought you here!"
Shock made a sad face, and I stuffed my fist in my mouth as I stifled laughter. Jack's expression softened, then he groaned. "All right, you're not in trouble... this time. But you three ARE banished from Halloweentown. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for our town song."
Jack exited our treehouse as Lock yelled, "YOU'RE EXCUSED!" He collapsed in a fit of laughter. "Race ya to the candy!" he laughed.
"On your mark..." Shock began.
"Get set..." Lock continued.
"GO!!" I yelled. The three of us took off running, heading for our weapons closet.
--------------- Chapter Seventeen "Sick"
Shock dragged the candy into our front room, with Lock drooling as he followed. "Candy eating time!" he cheered as he dove into the sack.
Shock grabbed Lock's tail and pulled him out of the candy. "Don't eat it all, pig!" she snarled at Lock.
While they fought, I crept to the sack and dove in. "CANDY-EATING CONTEST!" I yelled, shoving candy into my mouth.
Lock grinned and reached into the sack, pulling out handfuls of candy and cramming them into his mouth. Shock rolled her eyes. "Just don't eat all the candy!" she yelled, holding up a pitchfork. Lock and I ignored her as we continued eating candy. She growled and stomped out of the room. "Wait 'til Oogie hears about this..." she threatened, putting her ear to the wall and listening.
About fifteen minutes later, Lock and I lay clutching our stomachs and moaning. Shock stormed into the room and grabbed Lock by the tail. "You PIG!" she yelled as she dragged him away.
"See ya Lock..." I mouthed. "I wonder why Shock's so mad..." I said to myself, sitting up and eying the room. The floor was littered with half-chewed and torn candy wrappers. I peeked into the bag. "Oh. That's why." I pulled my head out of the empty sack and lay back down with a groan.
Shock re-entered the room and placed her hands on her hips, glaring at me. "What do you have to say for yourself!?" she demanded.
"Ugh... tummy hurts..." I whined.
Shock stuck her tongue out at me. "Serves you right, stupid! You pigged out on candy, now pay the price! All that candy would last a normal person AT LEAST three months!"
"Lock helped!" I reminded her, then yelped as she grabbed the collar of my shirt. "Where are we going!?"
"YOU are going to bed. You pigged out on candy, and all three of us were in the snow for hours. And if any of us gets sick, pranking will be no fun. Now shut up!" Shock snarled, dragging me into my small bedroom. She shoved me into the wall. "Get in bed. Now," she ordered as she left the room. I decided to disobey her, because when you're on a sugar high, why would you want to listen to anyone? Even if you ARE sick from eating too much candy... Shock walked back into my room, holding a glass of some fluid. "Drink this," she growled, thrusting the glass at me.
I sniffed the contents of the glass suspiciously. "What is this?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Drink it and get in bed," Shock ordered, her voice quickly growing impatient.
I silently uttered a quick prayer and drank the fluid making a face. "This stuff tastes HORRIBLE!" I howled, wiping my mouth to get rid of the taste. "It also was pointless 'cause my tummy still hurts!"
"Blame the Boneman, and it's called "water". Go to bed and hopefully you'll feel better in the morning," Shock told me, walking out of my room. Having nothing better to do, I crawled into the bed and lay curled into a ball, clutching my aching stomach. I fell asleep in that position.
----------------- Chapter Eighteen "Sick... Part Two"
I woke up early the next morning when I fell off the wooden bench that served as my bed. I lay, staring at the ceiling, then got to my feet. Still feeling sick, I quickly walked down the hall and headed for the bathroom. I re-emerged a few minutes later, wiping my mouth and making a face. "Stupid Shock and her stupid "water"! Stupid Lock and his candy-eating contests!" I muttered angrily, making my way back to my room. I climbed onto the wooden bench and pulled my ratty, threadbare blanket over my head and fell asleep again.
I woke up sooner than I wanted to, hearing whispers. "Lock! Sing that song!" Shock hissed.
"No way! Oh, all right, fine. Um... okay." Lock cleared his throat. "Here's a llama, there's a llama, and another little llama. Fuzzy llama, funny llama! Llama llama duck!"
Shock interrupted. "Just keep singing! Just keep singing! Just keep singing, singing, singing! What do we do? We sing, sing, sing! Oh ho ho ho ho! I LOVE to sing, when you WANT to sing-"
"Shut up, Shock... your stupid song is already running through my head!" I mumbled, poking my head out from beneath the blanket. "Leave me alone. I wanna stay in bed for a... a hundred years!"
"Well... don't you want to pull pranks?" Shock asked. I pulled the blanket over my head. "How about we steal candy?" she continued.
"No!" I said, my voice muffled. "Just wanna stay here in bed."
I could hear the frown in Shock's voice. "Get out of bed right now," she ordered.
"No."
"Come out here!" Shock yelled, grabbing my leg. "...your skin is warm..."
"Make me! LEGGO MY LEG!" I yelled, kicking my foot and trying to make Shock let go. "I'm fine!" After I said that, I climbed off the bench and sat on the floor. "See?"
Shock watched me suspiciously, but said nothing. "Let's go into town and see how mad Jack gets!" Lock grinned. Shock nodded her approval, and continued to watch me.
"Yeah, sure, fine with me," I said in a bored voice. I stood up and followed Lock and Shock to the elevator.
I impatiently tapped my toes while the elevator got stuck. Shock finally snapped, "Stop that!"
"Stop what?" I asked, continuing to tap my toes.
"That! Stop tapping! Why would you do such an annoying thing!?" she cried.
I hesitated, trying to think of a quick lie. There was NO WAY that I was going to admit that I still felt sick. Finally, I replied, "I'm just bored."
"Uh-huh. Sure." The rest of the ride was silent.
We entered the town, Lock leading the way... and me trailing behind. I looked around, through half-closed eyes... or, as a optimist-a-person-thingy would say, half-open. Wait... were my eyes half-open or half-closed? So confusing. Anyways, I stopped walking and lay down. Rubbing my head on the ground, I smiled. "Feels nice... 'tis cold."
"BARREL! What are you doing!?" Shock screeched.
"Leave me alone!" I mumbled, closing my eyes. Ah, the coolness of the ground felt good upon my face. I opened my eyes what seemed like seconds later, but was, in reality, a few hours. I blinked slowly and stared at the sight before my eyes: fire. I began shaking and covered my eyes, screaming. A cool hand was placed on my forehead, speaking quietly. I strained to hear the words, but it was no use. My heart racing, I slowly ceased trembling and closed my eyes again.
Time passed slowly in my feverish daze. I'd wake occasionally, only to see smoke or fire, scream, have something talk to me, fall back asleep. Finally, I opened my eyes. I stared as my vision was blurred, but there was no fire. A voice interrupted my confusion: "Town meeting tonight! Town meeting tonight!"
I sat up and found myself on my wooden bench-bed, my patched-up blanket covering me. I climbed off the bench and walked to the door, my vision becoming clear. Stepping out of my room, I hear voices. Deciding to investigate, I made my way into the front room of our treehouse. The sight stunned me: Lock and Shock had a deck of cards in front of them. Shock was missing her hat and one shoe, while Lock was missing both his shoes, and was in the process of pulling off his shirt. "What are you two DOING!?" I screeched, wide-eyed.
Shock looked up. "Oh. You're better. Took you long enough," she said in a bored voice.
"We're playing a game Oogie taught us!" Lock said proudly.
"What game?" I asked, fearing the answer.
"Strip poker."

Hehehehehe... it's a form of poker! Of course Oogie taught it!
------------------------ Chapter Nineteen "Our Mission"
I covered my eyes. "PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON!" I shrieked.
Shock laughed. "Stupid! All I need to put on is my hat and my shoe!"
Lock told me, "Okay, the shirt is back on! Next will be my shoes!"
I peeked between my fingers and caught a glimpse of Lock, dirt smeared on his face, shirt, feet... basically covered in dirt. I turned to Shock and noticed that she was as dirty as Lock. "When was the last time you guys bathed?" I asked.
"When was the last time YOU bathed?" Lock snapped.
"Uh... forget I asked, okay?" I said quickly. The truth was, we hadn't bathed since we came here, but that didn't matter. We're children, after all. What normal child WANTS to take a bath?
There was barking far below us. "Huh? Barrel, pull the elevator up," Shock ordered.
I obeyed and stared in wonder at the small dog that rode up. I pulled a note out of its mouth and shooed the dog away. I stared at the note, confused. "This makes no sense..." I whined.
Shock snatched the note from me. "You had it upside down, stupid!" she snarled before reading. "Dear Lock, Shock, and Barrel-"
"Hey! Why's Lock's name first!?" I interrupted.
"Let me finish!" Shock yelled. "Come to the Town Hall immediately-"
"We're banished, remember? And anyways, nobody likes us!" Lock pointed out.
Shock gave him the death glare. "Let. Me. FINISH!" she screeched. "Come to the Town Hall immediately. I have a special job for you. You might call it... urgent. Signed, Jack." She crumpled the note. "Stupid Boneman. It better be something good."
We left, riding the elevator down. "Whee! Race ya!" Lock yelled as he broke into a run.
"Hey! Not fair!" I yelled, running after him. I slowly drew closer... and then I tripped. I stuck my tongue out at the laughing Lock and stood up again, trying to brush the newly acquired dirt off of my costume, but somehow ended up getting it dirtier.
Shock walked behind Lock and me, then groaned as she saw the line of citizens. "Come on, let's cut to the front!" she ordered, pushing through the citizens. Most growled and looked down, then paled. Soon, we had a clear path to Jack. I looked around. Not a single creature was within a five foot radius of us. I slowly pulled out my slingshot, watching Lock and Shock copy my movements.
"Grr!" the Mayor growled as he looked around for whoever had shot the rock, bone and... was it? He examined the object. Yes! It was, indeed, a baseball! "Who threw these at me!?" he hollered. Hearing something clear their throat, he peered over the edge of the podium he stood at, then drew back. "Wh-what are YOU doing here!?" he asked nervously, his head spinning around to show his white, frightened and nervous face.
Lock stepped forward. "Jack sent for us!"
Shock stepped up next to him. "Specifically!"
I stood between them. "By name!"
Lock pulled off his mask, grinning. "Lock!"
Shock followed his lead, also pulling off her mask. "Shock!"
I pushed between them, so I was in front of them. "Barrel!" I licked my lollipop, smiling. Yum, who doesn't love black licorice and cinnamon swirled lollipops?
The Mayor turned and whimpered, "JACK! It's Boogie's boys!"
Jack knelt down so his face was closer to our level. "Halloween's finest trick-or-treaters! I have a special plan for you! It involves craft... cunning... mischief-"
"And we thought you DIDN'T like us!" Shock giggled, after we put our masks back on. She grabbed me by the shoulders and dragged me closer to her, while the three of us tried to look innocent. Tried is the key word here because, well, we failed. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" we giggled together.
Jack frowned. "Absolutely no one is to know about this! Not a soul!" he said sternly. "Now..." He pulled us into a huddle and lowered his voice to a whisper. "Go out of town, into the forest. After you walk a for a while, you'll come to a circle of seven trees. Go through the brightly-colored one and bring back Sandy Claws. He's big and red." He released us, and Lock began running. Before he could get away, Jack grabbed Lock's tail and dragged him back. "And leave the no-account Oogie Boogie OUT of this!" he growled.
I grinned beneath my mask, crossing my fingers behind my back. "Whatever you say, Jack!"
Shock did her "cute-girl" act, also putting one hand behind her back. "Of course, Jack!"
Lock was trying not to laugh as he copied our finger-crossing. "Wouldn't dream of it, Jack!" he added, and the three of us pushed our way through the line of citizens again.
We walked out of town, Lock and Shock leading, and I trailed behind. Once the treehouse was in sight, I realized how far behind my friends I was and ran to catch up, shooting past them. As a result, I reached our elevator before they did. I climbed in, followed by Lock and Shock. Shock closed the door and turned to face us. "Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?" we asked each other excitedly.
"I wanna do it!" Lock grinned.
"Let's draw straws!" I suggested.
Shock frowned and hit me in the head with her mask. "Jack said we should work together!" she reminded us.
"Three of a kind!" Lock shouted.
"Birds of a feather!" I added.
"Now and forever!" Shock said happily.
I thought, 'This seems so familiar... somehow...' I didn't realize that these were our last words spoken before we died.
Shock screamed, "WHEE!" as Lock and I began singing. "La la la la la la! La la la la!" Shock joined us. "La la la la la la! La la la la la!" Our elevator rose slowly. We burst into the treehouse. I opened the elevator door and swung it open, hanging onto the bars as we sang together. "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight! Throw away the key and then turn off all the lights!"
I scurried over to our couch and gave my lollipop one last lick, then pushed it through the bars of a cage. "First, we're going to set some bait inside a nasty trap and wait. When he comes a-sniffing, we will snap the trap and close the gate!" She watched a bug walk into the cage, then leaped out from behind the couch and snapped the string with an axe. The trap shut, and I quickly retrieved my lollipop.
Lock snatched the caged bug and held it over a cauldron. "Wait! I've got a better plan to catch this big red lobster man! Let's pop him in a boiling pot, and when he's done we'll butter him up!" He dropped the bug into the cauldron and pulled it out again, grinning as he proudly presented the bug now dripping with green goo.
We sang together as we headed for our Bug Chute. "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box! Bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks!"
Shock threw the caged bug into the chute as Lock and I bowed down. "Then Mr. Oogie Boogie man..." she said with an evil grin on her face.
"Can take the whole thing over then!" Lock and I said together, turning to face each other.
Shock joined us as we stood up. "He'll be so pleased, I do declare... that he will cook him rare! Wheeeeee!" we cheered, hearing Oogie chew the bug.
I grinned as Lock set me on top of the cannon he had just dragged into the room. "I say that we take a cannon, aim it at his door and then knock three times and when he answers, Sandy Claws will be no more!" he laughed.
I had a sudden thought, which wiped the grin from my face. 'Why's Lock laughing?' I wondered, then screamed. "AAAAAAHH!" I yelled, flying through the air and smashing through the door of our storage room. I forced myself into a standing position and lurched in the direction of the door... I hoped. I groped around blindly until my fingers met wood, since I couldn't see anything through the heavy cauldron on my head. I added a verse to our song, my voice echoing due to the pot. "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, tie him in a knot! Shut him in a coffin, how we'd like to see him rot!" I sang, pushing the door open.
Shock was scolding Lock as I staggered out of the room blindly, waving my arms to try to stay balanced. "You're so stupid, think now, if we blow him up to smithereens... we may lose some pieces, and then Jack will beat us black and green!"
I stumbled, tripping and landing upside down. I kicked my feet until I felt hands around my ankles. Lock and Shock pulled me out of the cauldron and carrying me upside-down to our bathtub as we sang the whole way. "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, tie him in a bag! Throw him in the ocean then, see if he is sad!"
I was thrown into the tub. I reached bottom and pulled the plug, draining the water as Lock and Shock sang quietly as Oogie burped, sending the cage flying back up through the chute, "Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around... If I were on his Boogie list, I'd get out of town!" First Shock, then Lock jumped in, banging their heads on the now-empty tub.
'Maybe I should've told them that I drained the tub... Nah!' I giggled softly. "He'll be so pleased by our success, that he'll reward us too, I'll bet!" I sang while my friends rubbed their heads, the bathtub walking into the next room.
Lock and Shock quickly recovered and joined me. "Perhaps he'll make his special brew of snake and spider stew! Yummm!" Shock jumped out of the tub as Lock and I poked our heads out. "We're his little henchmen and we take our job with pride! We do our best to please him, and stay on his good side!"
Shock crossed the room and pulled open our weapons closet. "I wish my cohorts weren't so DUMB!" she yelled, with a glare at Lock and me.
Lock had locked a ball-and-chain around my ankle and was dragging me around with a huge grin on his face. "I'm not the dumb one!" I protested, crossing my arms.
"You're no fun!" Lock whined.
"Shut UP!" Shock hissed.
"Make me!" Lock yelled. He then dropped the ball and it quickly rolled away, nearly dragging me with it.
Shock groaned and held up a small box. "I've got something, listen now: this one is real good, you'll see! We'll send a present to his door, upon there'll be a note to read. Now, in the box we'll wait and hide, until his curiosity entices him to look inside..."
I lifted the lid of the box a tiny bit and three scorpions jumped out and landed on my head. I gasped, then grinned as I added, "And then we'll have him: one, two, three!" I then threw the ball into the bathtub and was dragged in after it. Lock and Shock jumped into the tub behind me, after grabbing a sack with pumpkins on it and some weapons that were needed for the job.
"Kidnap the Sandy Claws, beat him with a stick! Lock him up for ninety years, see what makes him tick!" Our bathtub slowly clomped out of our treehouse. We continued to sing. "Kidnap the Sandy Claws, chop him into bits! Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks! Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see! Lock him in a cage and then, throw away the key!" We giggled as our bathtub sped up, sending us into the woods.

Chapter Twenty "It's Not Sandy?"
We rode in that cursed bathtub for hours. Lock and I had played every travel game we knew, and had even played "Slugtree". "SLUGTREE!" Lock yelled, punching my arm.
"Oh, yeah? Slugtree!" I replied, punching his stomach. This game could go on for hours, because, well, we were in a forest. There were trees all around us.
Shock finally snapped. "SHUT UP, STUPIDS!" she yelled. "IF I HEAR ONE MORE "SLUGTREE"..." she threatened. Lock and I fell silent once more.
A while later, I couldn't help but ask, "Are we there yet?"
"Don't you dare start that, Barrel," Shock warned. "Look! Here we are!" The tub stopped in a circle of seven trees. I looked around in wonder. There was one with a firecracker, one with a turkey, one with a heart. There was also a tree, a shamrock, an egg, and... a pumpkin.
"Can't be the pumpkin door..." I said. "Not colorful enough. How about the shamrock?"
"Nah, the egg!" Lock said with a grin. "See? It's colorful!"
Shock smacked Lock. "I'm pretty sure he was talking about the tree!" she said.
"Are you positive?" Lock asked.
"No..." she admitted.
"The egg it is, then!" Lock said, pulling the door open. He poked his head inside. "Jack tricked us! There's nothing ins- WHOAAAAA!" Shock and I watched as Lock was pulled inside the tree. I shrugged and jumped through the door, with Shock following me.
"AAHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as I fell through the blackness. I plummeted and eventually landed in a patch of long grass. I looked around. This place was too... colorful and cheerful. I shuddered, turning to look at Shock. She looked as if she was about to throw up. I would've laughed, but I felt the same way.
"Let's just kidnap Sandy Claws as fast as we can!" I moaned.
"GUYS! I FOUND SANDY!" Lock yelled, running past us as he chased a pink blur.
I leaped to my feet with a yell and began following Lock, waving our bag in the air. "Kidnap Sandy Claws!"
"You guys are so stuuuuuuupid!" Shock shouted, but she followed anyways.
I turned a corner and nearly ran into Lock, who had the pink creature held down. "Hurry! Bag him!" he whispered. I obeyed, Lock and Shock helping me stuff the creature in the bag. I ended up dragging the bag back to where we landed. Lock looked around, then spied a small house with a pumpkin-shaped door on it. "Through that door!" he whispered, pushing it open and walking through. Shock went through next; I followed behind.
We found ourselves back at the circle of trees. I quickly pushed the bag with the squirming creature into the bathtub and we walked, leading the bathtub back to town.
Hours later, we burst into the Town Hall, where Jack was still talking to Halloween citizens. "Jack!" we called. No answer. "JACK! WE CAUGHT HIM!"
Jack seemed to hear us that time, for he straightened up and said excitedly, "Well, open it up quickly!"
I reached over and untied the bag, giggling. The creature jumped out and hopped through the Town Hall, sniffing everything curiously. The Behemoth dropped the nutcracker he had been holding and joyfully yelled, "BUNNY!"
Jack's grin faded, and was replaced with a frown. "That's not Sandy Claws!"
"It isn't?" Shock asked, confused.
"Who is it?" I wondered.
"NOT Sandy Claws!" Jack yelled.
We shrunk back a little. "We followed your instructions..." Lock said nervously.
"We went through the door..." I continued in a small voice.
"In the tree," Shock added.
"WHICH door!?" Jack growled.
Lock frowned. "The door."
"WELL, TAKE HIM BACK!" Jack shrieked. He turned to the rabbit, who had just dove back into our sack, trembling. "I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, sir." He turned back and glared at us. "Shall I send someone ELSE for Sandy Claws!?"
Our eyes grew wide. "No!" we chorused.
"Not at all!" I said quickly.
"We can handle it!" Shock assured him.
"We'll get it right this time.." Lock began.
"-For sure!" Shock and I said together.
"I told you, there's more than one door!" Jack told us. Lock began wringing his hands nervously. "Sandy Claws is behind the door shaped like THIS!" Jack finished, holding up a cookie shaped like a tree.
Shock's eyes narrowed as she jumped at Lock, wrapping her hands around his throat. "I TOLD YOU!" They began growling (well, Lock was choking and Shock was growling) and fighting.
"Knock it off!" I shouted, joining the fight. Lock's mask flew off and hit me in the head. "OWWW!"
Jack stuck his pinkies in his mouth and made a scary face, screaming like a banshee. The three of us gasped, Lock and me hiding behind Shock, who held out her arms protectively. My mask had ended up on top of my head, and Lock and Shock's masks were on the floor. "Go through the door shaped like a tree!" Jack reminded us. "Take him home first, and apologize again. Be careful when you fetch Sandy, and treat him nicely!"
"Got it!" Lock yelled as he and Shock scooped up their masks. We left and headed back towards the forest, with a trembling and whimpering bag riding in our bathtub.

Chapter Twenty-One "Nabbed!"
After another few hours, we arrived back at the circle of trees. I grumpily pulled the egg-shaped door open as Shock opened the bag, pushing the rabbit out of the bag and through the door. "Stupid Lock..." she muttered, shooting him a death glare.
Lock shifted nervously. "Um, now the tree?" he asked. "Hey, Barrel! Wait for u-"
The rest of his sentence was cut off as I pulled the tree-shaped door open and peered through. A blast of cold wind blew out and I backed away. The wind grew stronger and pulled me through the door, slamming the door shut behind me. "YAAAAAAHHHH!" I yelled as I tumbled through what seemed to be a snowstorm. I finally landed in a deep pile of snow and poked my head out of the top. I stared in disgust at the bright lights. "This place is just as bad as the other tow-" I was interrupted by Lock and Shock tumbling out of the sky and landing on me. I pushed my way out from beneath the two and shouted, "First one to Sandy Claws wins!" With that said, I took off running, slipping and sliding down the hill
"Barrel! That's not fair!" Lock screamed as he followed.
Shock rolled her eyes and followed Lock, muttering, "I'll never understand boys." After multiple wrong turns, we finally reached a house that had candy canes lining the front sidewalk.
"Hey, thing"! Lock yelled at an elf. "Is this Sandy's workshop?"
The elf blinked. "Sandy...? OH! You mean Santa! Yes, it is! Why do you ask?"
We ignored the elf and rang the doorbell. A cheery tune played and Shock made gagging noises. There were sounds coming from behind the door. "Now who could that be?" I heard as the door opened.
"Trick-or-treat!" the three of us cheered, our masks on our faces and a bag held wide open.
"What the-" Sandy gasped.
I grinned behind my mask as we jumped up and bagged Sandy, screaming, "EEEEEEYYYAAAHHHHH!" We dragged the bag back through a portal. When we were once again in the circle of trees, we struggled to push the bag containing Sandy into our bathtub. "He's really big!" Shock grunted, pushing.
I stood inside the bathtub pulling as hard as I could. "What if he doesn't fit?"
"We'll make him fit!" Lock growled, pushing Sandy. He picked up a stick and tried to push Sandy in the tub with it. "He'll fit... somehow."
After much pushing and pulling, (an hour, to be exact) we finally managed to get Sandy in the tub. I now sat on top of the bulging bag, kicking it everytime it moved. "Barrel, kick him again, make sure he's still alive," Shock ordered for the seventh time, sounding bored. "We should be there soon." We arrived back in town, Lock running ahead.
"This time we bagged him!" we announced proudly, and Lock stepped forward. Shock led the tub up to Jack as I giggled and gave the bag one last kick.
"This time we really did!" Lock said with a huge grin.
"He sure is big, Jack!" I informed him.
"And HEAVY!" Shock said, frowning. She looked at Lock and me as she said this, and we nodded. Shock untied the knot and Sandy's head popped out of the sack, some candy left over from Halloween in his beard. I eyed the candy. Lock and I missed those pieces when we had our candy-eating contest.
Jack, clad in a red suit with white trim that looked like Sandy's stepped forward. "Sandy Claws! Himself! In person!" he said excitedly, grabbing Sandy's hand. "I can hardly believe it! What a pleasure it is to meet you!" He peered at the hand he was holding. Sounding almost disappointed, he said, "Why, you have hands! You don't have claws at all..."
Sandy looked around at the assembled citizens, who were proudly displaying their gifts. He was speechless.
"Surprised, aren't you? I knew you would be! But you haven't seen anything yet!" Jack paused, then added, "You don't need to worry about Christmas this year. Not a single care. We've seen to every detail." Sandy's eyes widened. His mouth moved, but he made no sound. "Consider this a... a vacation, Sandy! A reward! You've worked hard for a long time, and now it's your turn to take it easy. Leave everything to me!" Jack continued. "You're going to be so pleased! Just relax and enjoy yourself while you're here!" Jack turned to us. "See that he's comfortable, boys!"
"And girl!" Shock interrupted.
We began to tie the sack again but Jack stopped us. "Wait a second, fellas." He examined Sandy for a few minuted, then swiped his hat. "Of course! That's what I'm missing!" he laughed. "Yoink! " he grinned, swiping Sandy's hat. "You don't mind if I borrow this, do you? Thanks!"
We left, tying Sandy up as we headed for our treehouse. "Where are we taking him?" I wondered.
"Where?" Shock echoed.
Lock, who was leading, turned around. "To Oogie Boogie's place, of course! There isn't any place in the whole world more comfortable than that, is there?"
Shock and I chorused, "No, there isn't!"
Lock continued. "And Jack said to make him comfortable, didn't he?"
I nodded as Shock replied, "Yes, he did!" We giggled and began walking again.
"Haven't you heard of peace on Earth and... and goodwill towards men!?" Sandy finally snapped.
"NO!" the three of us shouted together, then laughed.
"Kick the bag again, Barrel!" Shock ordered, laughing so hard tears poured from her eyes. We managed to pull Sandy out of the bathtub and began stuffing him down our Bug Chute. He got stuck halfway, so Lock began beating Sandy with his trusty plunger, Shock used a broom, and I used a pitchfork. Sandy finally shot down to Oogie's lair, after one last kick from Shock. We waited and listened anxiously, hoping Oogie liked our sacrifice.

Chapter Twenty-Two "You're Joking!"
There was a small 'thump!' as Sandy landed in Oogie's lair. Lock had his head in the Bug Chute, but still couldn't see anything. "Shock, go flip the switch," he ordered.
Shock stuck her tongue out at him, but obeyed anyways. The pipe lit up with blacklights, from the torture chamber below. There were sounds of movement, then Oogie's voice boomed loudly. "Well, well, well! What have we here? Sandy Claws, huh? OOOH! I'm really scared!" We smothered giggles as we heard Oogie start our favorite song ever- the song he dubbed "You're Joking." He usually used it whenever something, usually the three of us, made him laugh.
"Shh! He's starting!" Shock said, trying to scold us, but failing as she giggled again.
"You're joking, you're joking! I can't believe my eyes!" Oogie sang.
"Yeah, I know what you mean, Oogie!" I whispered. "Sandy's not as scary as Jack made us think!"
"You're joking me, you've gotta be! This can't be the right guy!" Oogie said as he laughed.
"It better be the right guy! We spent hours looking for the dude!" Lock growled quietly, and was quickly quieted by Shock clamping her hand over his mouth.
"He's ancient! He's ugly! I don't know which is worst! I just might split a seam now, if I don't die laughing first!" Oogie chuckled. "Mr. Oogie Boogie says there's trouble close at hand-"
"Of course! We're right here!" I whispered, earning a glare from Shock.
"-You'd better pay attention now, 'cause I'm the Boogie man!" Oogie continued. "And if you aren't shaking, then there's something very wrong! 'Cause this may be the last time that you hear the Boogie Song! Whoa-oh!" he sang.
"Whoa-oh!" high-pitched voices replied. They had to be some of his skeletons.
"Whoa-oh!" Oogie laughed.
"Ohhhh..." other voices groaned.
"Whoa-yeah!" Oogie said. It was obvious that he was grinning. "I'm the Oogie Boogie man! Well, if I'm feelin' antsy, and there's nothin' much to do, I might just cook a special batch of Snake and Spider stew!"
Lock, Shock, and I stared at each other with wide eyes. "Snake and Spider stew!?" we gasped together. Lock was so excited, he was practically drooling. Wait, check that. He WAS drooling. Shock slapped him and we continued to listen to Oogie's song.
"And don't ya know the ONE thing that would make it work so nice? A roly-poly SANDY CLAWS! To add a little spice!" Oogie informed Sandy.
"Whoa-oh!" the high-pitched voices started.
"Oh yeah!" Oogie replied.
"Whoa-oh!" the voices said again.
"Yeah!" Oogie yelled.
"Whoa-oh! He's the Oogie Boogie man!" the voices moaned.
"Release me now or you must face the dire consequences! The children are expecting me, so please! Come to your senses!" someone begged in an old-guy voice.
"It's Sandy!" I laughed, then covered my mouth, eagerly waiting for Oogie's response to that question.
As Oogie began singing again, Lock stood up and imitated our boss. He stuffed an old, beat-up pillow into his shirt and strutted around, shaking a fist which held a pair of home-made dice. "You're joking, you're joking! I can't believe my ears! Would someone shut this fella up? I'm drownin' in my tears!" Oogie shouted. Shock and I collapsed into a fit of giggles as we watched Lock, who had stuffed another old pillow into his shirt. We nearly were drowning in our tears. "You're funny, I'm laughin'! You really are too much! And now, with your permission, I'm goin' to do my stuff!"
"Wh-what are you going to do?" Sandy's fearful voice echoed up through the Bug Chute. We laughed harder.
"I'm goin' to do the best I can..." Oogie taunted, then yelled, "QUIET UP THERE, KIDS! YER RUININ' MY PLANS!" We shut up immediately. I guess Oogie could hear us. After a few minutes of silence, Oogie resumed his song. "OHHHHH! The sound of rollin' dice, to me, is music in the air! 'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie man, although I don't play fair! It's much more fun, I must confess, with lives on the line!" he cackled. Then, he added, "...not mine, of course, but YOURS, old boy! Not that would be just fine!"
Lock had his hands clamped over my mouth, I had my hands over Shock's mouth, and Shock's hands were covering Lock's mouth. We stared at each other with wide eyes, then Lock broke away and stuck his head back into the pipe, pulling the pillows out of his shirt.
"Release me fast or you will have to answer for this heinous act!" Sandy roared.
Oogie's laughter echoed throughout the treehouse. "Oh brother! You're joking! You put me in a spin! You aren't comprehending the position that you're in! It's hopeless! You're FINISHED! You haven't got a prayer! 'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie, and you ain't goin' nowhere!" he laughed as Shock flipped the blacklight switch off.
There was silence. Lock continued to peer down the pipe, even after Shock turned the blacklights off. The little witch couldn't handle it any longer. "What's happening? What's happening!?" she asked curiously. Lock refused to answer.
I thought for a moment, then pointed to our elevator with a huge grin. "Guys, guess what..." I said in a sing-song voice. "I thought of a brilliant idea!"
Lock and Shock both turned and grinned. "Let's go down..." Shock began.
"And take..." Lock continued.
"A peek!" I finished.
The three of us looked at each other, then yelled, "YAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!" We rushed off to get snacks. I found some candy that Lock and I had forgotten about, and grabbed it. Lock was busy filling up soda cups, and Shock was getting popcorn. Lock and I waited in the elevator as Shock took her time pulling a small snake out of the popcorn. "Hurry, hurry!" I urged as Shock finally entered the elevator. We slowly rode down, descending until we were just outside Oogie's lair. Lock leaned forward to peek through the bars, noisily slurping soda. We giggled as we heard the ragdoll, Sally, scream for Jack.
