Jack stood there as he walked into Sally's room, all the pictures of her had been torn apart and looked as if they were stepped on. He began to slightly grind his teeth with anger. "Oogie....I'm going to make you pay....." he said quietly to himself as he clentched his fists.

Sally followed Jack and stopped, seeing all her pictures. She picked up one of Sally and another rag doll, prettier then her, with longer hair. It was shredded. "How could he?" She asked again.

Jack looked at the picture with the other rag doll on it and tilted his head over slightly to see it a bit more clearly, then looked up at Sally with a soft frown. "Sally?.....who is that?" he asked pointing towards the other rag doll in the picture.

"She was my mom, or rather the person I got my genes from and was made to look like." She muttered running her stitched up fingers along her face.

Jack's frown slowly turned back to a joyful smile as he walked over towards Sally and held her hands away from her stitches and kissed them. "I see where you got your beautful appearence from then." he said with a slight chuckle under his breath.

Sally smiled and looked up at him. "Thanks." She said then kissed his cheek. "We..should see if he tore up my clothes or not." She said walking over to her dresser.

Jack had some thoughts in his mind thinking that Sally's clothing were going to all be torn up rather then still there. He nodded and held onto her hand looking at her with a gentle smile as they walked over to the dresser, some of the clothing was torn to shreds but it seemed like all the clothes in the back were still in mint condition, Jack tilted his head looking at the clothes that werent torn. Why did Oogie leave those alone? he thought to himself as he looked back to Sally.

"The only clothes he left were my mothers...he knew I don't wear them, but I keep them." She whispered pulling out some of the dresses. She held them to her chest and closed her eyes as a tear fell down her cheek.

Jack had seen the single tear come down Sally's cheek and frowned as he walked up to her as she held onto her dresses. He put his hand onto the dresses and leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Sally....please dont cry.....here....I'll stitch those back together for you." he said with a bit of a quiet voice.

"What about school?" She asked looking up at him.

Jack smiled and and held onto Sally's hands as he kept the dresses in their hands. "Dont worry....even if your late..if I sign a pass you can get to class without a problem." he said with a softer voice and hugged her gently. "Besides.....we dont want you going to school in pjs do we?" he said with a slight laugh.

Sally smiled and nodded. "I Can sew one up quick." She said taking it then walking over to her sewing machine, she set to resewing it together.

Jack walked over and stood there as he watched Sally sew up her dress, he looked at how perfectly she got it without getting her own threads stuck into the machine. "Wow Sally...your really good at this." he said with his eyes in amazement.

Sally blushed and continued to work. "Thank you, when you stitch yourself back together all the time, you kind of get used to it." She said with a smile.

Jack sat down in front of Sally as he looked at her work on the dress, he gave a light and soft smile. "I cant wait to see you in that.......I bet your going to look great." he said as he touched the bottom part of the dress and felt how soft and silky it was.

"Thanks." She said softly as she finished the bottom and started on the top.

Jack just sat there and watched Sally finish up with her dress, then he turned around as he looked at some of her other dresses. "Sally....which of those dresses are ou wearing to the prom?" he asked wondering if she would even tell him, or would she keep it a secret like most others usually did.

"Umm.." She said looking around at the torn up dresses, she smiled and walked over to her closet, tossed at the bottom was a Black and white pinstriped sleeve less dress, she held it up to her, and it went to below her knees. "This one, thankfully it only has a rip at the bottom." She said happily.

Jack looked at the beautiful dressed and smiled gently. "Wow...I cant wait to see you in that dress." he said as he stood there looking a the clock noticing they were already late.

"OH shoot." She said running to the sewing machine, she finished the dress then ran into the bathroom and changed.

Jack began to walk downstairs and towards the front door, once reached it he stopped there and turned back towards the bathroom door. "Come on Sally, I'm waiting for you!" he said with a slightly playful tone.

Sally sighed and ran down to him. "I'm ready, lets go get this over with." She sighed running a stitched up hand through her hair, she didn't want to go to school, mostly due to the fact that Oogie would be there.

Jack held onto Sally's hand as started to walk a bit ahead of her, but as he walked he didnt seem to turn around towards her much. I hope Oogie stayed home for once....I'm in no mood for someone like him today. he thought to himself, as they began to reach the school grounds.

Sally watched her surroundings as the arrived at the school just as the bell rang. She raced ahead a bit so she was at jacks side and kissed his cheek. "I don't want to be late." She said then got her hand free and ran inside and to class.

Jack heard the bell as he watched Sally run away and tried to get to class. He smiled as he put his hand onto his cheek right where she had kissed him, then he began to chuckle slightly. "I guess she didnt want a pass." he said to himself as he started to walk to his class.
