Is this where you'd post it? Anyway it's for the celebration of 22 members. Just a random fun fanfic (I got the idea during my Math lecture), I'm just uploading the start, more will come soon. Anyway it does include some of my own characters so you might not know them if you've never read the Ranga Tales.
Twenty Two
1: The Haunting of 22! (oooo scary)
Madly she scribbled across the black board and walls of her room. All these strange happenings, all these calculations, it just had to mean something significant. Ranga scratched her head as she thought back, remembering all the strange happenings.
A few days ago…
“And then I made myself a taco because I really wanted a taco” said Ginger as he and his sister walked down the street “But it was bad and I was all like ‘this taco is not very good’ so in future I need someone else to make the taco for me” Ranga looked at her watch “That’s the twenty second time you’ve said taco in the past twenty two minutes and twenty two seconds” “So?” “Don’t you find that a little bit creepy?” “Not really…” “Look over there! That’s the twenty second time I’ve seen those same twenty two tourists wander through here! They must be lost” Ranga continued watching them “And that’s the twenty second time they’ve stopped and asked for directions” “You’re keeping count? But you never notice anything” “How could you not notice these weird occurrences?” “Anyway about this taco…”
Ranga entered her lair to find Ted the voodoo boy, her room mate hanging from the ceiling with a noose around his neck. “Hey Ted” she cheerfully said “Hi Ranga” replied the voodoo boy “Am I dead yet?” “No, how many times do I have to remind you that you can’t die? I mean, you’re a voodoo doll” “Damn! I’ve been up here since three o’clock yesterday afternoon” She looked at the clock “That’s exactly twenty two hours!?” “So what? Can you help me down? I’m getting bored” “Yes, of course”
Now we’re back to what’s actually happening…
“Ranga?” asked Emma the gorgon woman as she entered the room “Looks like you’ve been busy” “I have been” replied the red head “Twenty two… it’s everywhere! It’s a sign!” “What do you mean it’s everywhere?” “Yesterday was your twenty second date with a twenty two year old man that you met in November, two years ago, two multiplied by eleven is twenty two!” “Alright?” “And the day before was the twenty second attempt Victor had to create a more potent elixir for recovering magic, the elixir itself consisted of twenty two ingredients and the ratio was 2 : 3.5 : 4” “What’s so peculiar about that ratio?” “Add two and three point five to get five point five, then multiply it by four and what do you get?” “Twenty two?” “EXACTLY!” “So, you’ve convinced yourself you’re being haunted by the number twenty two?” “There must be a link between this and something happening in the world!” “Hey Ranga, Hi Emma” I said as I came into the lair, noticing the scribbles “What’s going on?” “Ranga thinks she’s being haunted by the number twenty two” explained Emma “This number scares me” Ranga explained “It’s everywhere and even when you do have it, read it backwards it’s still twenty two! Flip it upside down… you get uh… two little lines with hook looking lines reaching out from bellow it…” “Well if it makes you come to a solution” I added “One of the websites I visit is celebrating twenty two members” “What website?” “Treehouse of Doom, it’s a forum for Nightmare Before Christmas fans” “Really? Then it is a sign” Emma asked “A sign for what?” “Ranga’s insanity” I added “We’re the same person! Remember!?” snapped my alter ego, kinda hard to take a midget seriously “Alright, what sign is it?” “Simple, a sign for something to happen” “Which is…” “PARTY! We’ll have a big party!” “Who would you invite?” inquired Emma “Well, the members of the forum” “Do they even know you?” “Of course… I think, I’ve role played quite a bit lately on the site” “Then how will you get the invitations to them? Besides would the people be invited or their alter egos?” “Don’t ask silly questions, alright, we’ll throw a party!” I intervened “Where will this party be held?” “Where else? The perfect location for fans of Nightmare Before Christmas… Halloweentown!” Ranga ran over to the crystal door in the chamber, she opened it and smiled “Don’t wait up” before leaping through the portal. I turned to Emma “Do you like where this is heading?” “No, but she can handle herself… can’t she?”

2: Planning the Party “Lock! Shock! Barrel!” exclaimed a voice outside the window “Is that…” froze Lock as his eye twitched “Please tell me it’s not” “Let me check” Barrel went over the window of the tree house and looked out. “HI BARREL!” shouted the voice as suddenly Ranga appeared, she was upside down, her bare feet gripping to the roof above the window and her shoes were on her hands. “Holy Jack!” screeched the skeleton impersonator as he jumped back, he calmed himself “You scared me, how did you get up there?” “Climbed” Ranga said as threw her shoes at Barrel and the now hidden Lock “Hey Lock, I can see you” “No you can’t!” replied the devil, his tail was in full view as he cowered behind the coffin couch “Oww…” he said as her shoe managed to hit him in the head “Yes, I can!” smirked Ranga as she came in through the window, grabbing her shoe off Barrel and putting it back on. “No you can’t!” “Yes, I CAN!” “You’re not getting your shoe back!” “Give me back my shoe!” “You can’t make me” “Wanna bet?” Lock suddenly found himself faced by the one girl that made him freak out. She raised a fist high, immediately he threw the show up “Take it back!” Shock walked into the room “What are you guys yelling about? Why is Ranga here?” “Yeah, why are you here?” added Barrel Ranga replied “I just came to warn you” “Warn us about what?” “If a bunch of screaming fangirls try to glomp you, it wasn’t my fault and had nothing to with me, alright? Great! I’ll show myself out” Ranga jumped out the window again. Shock raised an eyebrow “Is it my imagination or is she up to something?” “She’s probably up to something” said Lock “She’s evil” “No she’s not” added Barrel “I wonder what a glomp is anyway”
“Alright, location, location, where can this party be held… what kind of party should it be?” Ranga said as she walked through the town. She kept remembering the movie and all the events that occurred throughout it. She then got it, the perfect idea “A kidnapping party! Ooo this is so good! You can’t get in unless you kidnap a citizen of the Halloween world. Perfect! Now where to hold it?” she then spied the town ahead “The town’s good but how to clean it out…”
Jack and Sally were walking back from the Hinterlands. The ragdoll had just been swept off her feet by her skeletal love. He had taken her to Valentine Town where she was romantically serenaded and treated like a queen of his heart. But something wasn’t right as they came closer to the gate of Halloweentown. All the citizens of the town were outside walking around or trying to knock the gate down. “What’s going on here?” asked Jack “Jack’s back!” cheered the crowd of monsters “Oh Jack, it’s horrible” said the Mayor as he pushed to the front of the crowd, his panic stricken face in view “We were all chased and locked out of town” “Chased and locked out of town?” Sally sighed “How is that possible?” Jack immediately jumped to the simplest explanation “Was it Oogie? Or maybe Lock, Shock and Barrel?” “No!” shouted the vampires The werewolf added “It wasn’t them at all” “Then who?” asked Jack The Mayor took a deep breath “We were chased out of town by a little red haired girl with a green swirl for one eye” “She threatened us with weapons” cried Mr Hyde and Clown The witches mewed “And fearsome magic” “She chased me with a broom” wept the corpse kid, nursing a nasty bruise on his face The Gatekeeper added “She took all the keys too” “So no one can get in” ended Harlequin “Wait” said Sally “Where’s the doctor?” “He didn’t come out, he’s probably still in his tower” The ragdoll turned to the Pumpkin King “Jack… do you know who did this?” He sighed “Yeah, it was that crazy imp, Ranga”
Ranga looked out from the top most chamber of Dr Finklestein’s tower. The doctor himself sat beside her in his wheelchair. He wasn’t going anywhere now she had messed with his chair. She had borrowed her brother’s remote control (the non doom one) and had configured Dr Finklestein’s chair to move wherever she wanted like a remote controlled car. “Okay mutant duck man, I don’t like you and you don’t like me” she said He bitterly replied “I don’t even know you and I am NOT a mutant duck man!” “Sure you are, anyway, I’m holding a party and I need to get the word out” “Send a bat-a-gram” “A what?” “Put your message on a bat and send them away” “Oh like carrier pigeons” “I wouldn’t recommend sending pigeons in this world” “Why not?” “Care to find out” Dr Finklestein pointed to a nearby set of cages, trapped within were a few pigeons from the human world. Ranga went over to one and took a pigeon out, releasing it into the outside world through the open window. The little bird fluttered over the Acid Works, out into the sky. But a harrowing screech echoed as a massive serpent head reached out and snapped, eating the bird whole. The serpent retreated back into the water flowing through the Acid Works. “That was cool! We need MORE PIGEONS!” cheered Ranga Dr Finklestein snapped “Stop getting distracted!” “Oh yeah the message, Dr Finklestein! Be the scribe!” “Why me?” “Just do it already and respect my authority!” Soon enough a heap of bats were ready to be sent off to the human world. Ranga released them into the sky before commencing preparations for the party itself. The invitation read…
To the members of the Treehouse of Doom
In order to celebrate twenty two members… maybe it’s more now, I don’t know. Hey are you still writing what I’m saying!? Don’t write down that! Stop being a jerk! Well I don’t like this anymore than you do. Good! We have an agreement now you stupid duck man, now then… I am inviting you to a midnight party in Halloweentown, to happen whenever the hell I feel like it (if you get here early I’ll let you in early to help setting everything up). What do you mean that’s not a real time? For your information I HAVE thought this through so shut up and keep writing!
The theme of this get together? Ha ha ha ha! It’s brilliant. Your mission and the way to gain admittance into the party is to kidnap a member of the Halloween world and bring them to the gate. It is then you and the citizen will enter the party to have an awesome time! So be aware that the person you kidnap is going to be at the party (that should avoid the whole situation where multiple people like a character, you get to see them anyway!)
Anyway good luck with your kidnapping! And come as soon as possible! Cheers
Ranga
P.S. Don’t bring Oogie because he’s a jerk and uh… that’s enough reason to not bring him!
*If you have any specific requests as to what character you wanna bring tell me OK, first come, first serve. If I know you well enough I'll write about how you kidnap that individual. Personally this isn't much of an entry, more like a celebration story... kinda*

3: Kidnapping
“What the? What the hell is going on here?” it appeared everyone was locked out of Halloweentown. A few hours ago I had received a bat from Ranga herself telling me to come here for a party. She could’ve been a little more discrete though, my uncles, aunties and cousins were over at the time so it’s a little awkward when you see a sight challenged bat crash into the window. “Manga Ranga? Is that you?” Turning I saw two others from the human world, Sweet Nightmare and Fan-Admin, technically we had never met due to the fact we lived in different hemispheres. But we had talked enough over the internet. “You guys here because of this?” I asked as I held up the note Sweet Nightmare laughed “Yeah, but we thought you’d be in there with Ranga” “As if, she’s got a mind of her own” “I know what you mean, she’s an insane little bugger” smirked Fan-Admin “Well, let’s go see what she wants”
The three of us stood at the back gate of Halloweentown… yes there is a back gate! Do not question me! A few seconds later Ranga came scurrying towards us from the town side of the gate. “Great! You’re here! You can help me!” cheered Ranga “Oh wait, you need to kidnap someone first! Come back when you do” she then just ran off again “Kidnap someone?” I questioned “Alright, who’s kidnapping who?” “JACK!” Sweet Nightmare jumped up and down like a child on a sugar high “I wanna kidnap him!” “I’ll go for Barrel” nodded Fan-Admin I finished “And I’ll go after Harlequin! So how are we gonna get them? We need a plan” “Well we’re all fanfics writers here so we know how to plan escapades” Sweet Nightmare joined in with an evil grin “We’ll definitely find a way to trick them into coming with us! “This is gonna be fun” we all cheered
Barrel was just casually walking back to the tree house, he was giggling from the sight of Halloweentown and all the people locked outside. Honestly, he had no idea what was going on but he couldn’t wait to tell Lock and Shock. As he ran something caught his eye, it was bright, small and shiny in the sunlight. “Wow a piece of candy!” he smiled as he dived for it, it was an M&M lying on the ground. Barrel quickly shoved it in his mouth enjoying the sweetness. “Hey another piece of candy!” he said as he noticed another one, picking it up and eating it “And another one!” he laughed as he followed the trail of M&Ms. He came to the last one, but he was too busy eating the M&M to notice the noose lying on the ground. As he ate the final M&M the noose tightened around his ankle as he suddenly found himself tumbling to the ground. Barrel was being dragged along by a teenage girl. He looked at her with puzzlement and said “Who are you!?” She looked back with a smile and said “I’m Fan-Admin” “Yeah, I know you! You’re that fanfic writer… um… Mr Oogie Boogie!” “Yes, how could you know that? You don’t have a computer” “That’s a very good point. So why are you kidnapping me?” “To get into the party” “Party? There’s a party and I wasn’t invited?” he said with puppy dog eyes “Relax, you’ll get in” A scream came from a nearby hill as Harlequin ran for his life. Chasing behind him was another girl, one Barrel knew of as well. “The Storyteller is here too?” he asked “Of course Manga Ranga’s here” said Fan-Admin “She’s writing this story” “Oooo, you broke the fourth wall! You’re gonna get it!” Damn it! Why do all my characters break the fourth wall!? Can’t you just accept the story! Fan-Admin sighed “Sorry, you’re not gonna punish me… are you?” No, I’ll just let you off with a warning “Thankyou” Anyway, Harlequin demon was screaming for dear life as she chased him, another obsessed fangirl who was running quickly to get him. She leapt forward, keeping low and performing a rugby tackle on the multi-coloured demon. Harlequin hit the ground and coughed “Why are you chasing me!?” “Felt like it” shrugged Manga Ranga she noticed her cohort “Looks like the lolly trick worked” “I know, Barrel is so damn cute” smiled Fan-Admin Manga Ranga tied Harlequin’s hands up as she and Fan-Admin went back in the direction of Halloweentown with their kidnapping victims.
“ALRIGHT!” cheered Ranga as she opened the gate “Now I have people to help!” “Help… with what?” I said with a raised eyebrow “Well, you can do the cooking” “Are you serious!?” “I don’t know anything about cooking so you can do it” “But what do you eat in Halloweentown?” I looked at Harlequin and Barrel “I’m gonna need help on your part” I turned back to my alter ego “And you better have grog too!” “Relax we got grog, you think I’d pass up an opportunity to get Lock drunk” “He’s hilarious when he becomes the Queen of Purpleness!” smirked Fan-Admin “That does sound funny” laughed Harlequin, feeling a bit more relaxed about the situation Barrel asked “How come I didn’t see that?” “Because you were passed out when we last drank” giggled Ranga “Wait, weren’t there three people…” “Yeah” I said Fan-Admin continued “Where’s Sweet Nightmare?” “Surely she would’ve gotten Jack by now” “Keep the gate open!” shouted Sweet Nightmare as she sprinted towards us. In her hands was Jack’s skull, his body dashing after her along with all the other angered citizens of Halloweentown. Fan-Admin and I stood at the sides of the gate and readied to close it. We just needed the right moment. Sweet Nightmare was through, then Jack’s body, we slammed it shut before the enraged Halloween monsters could get in. Sweet Nightmare turned and threw the head at Jack’s body “Here ya go, no hard feelings” “What is the meaning of all this!?” exclaimed the Pumpkin King “Well we need to celebrate…” I continued “So as fans of Halloweentown…” “We’ve decided to borrow this town” added Fan-Admin “And have a PARTY!” Ranga got up and danced as she chanted “PARTY! PARTY! LET’S HAVE A PARTY!” Jack shook his head “And I thought humans were meant to be normal”

*snorts with laughter* Jeez, that is hilarious! What's up with Barrel and the fourth wall? Methinks the cute widdle boy broke the fourth wall one too many times and knows the consequences, hehehe. You get a L-O-L for the reference to the Queen of Purpleness. Let's just hope Shock doesn't show up and get drunk. *shudder* Your overall Nightmare Ranks is "XD" for SN stealing Jack's head and the group managing to lock all the other creatures out of town. This is great! You should post it on FanFiction.net, see how many people read it! XD
