"What about that new girl? She's an unknown face, plus she's Dr. Franken's newest experiment so she's expendable. Plus she has a trusting face." Greg said glaring at the Janitor. He knew what he was thinking, he was friends with Oogie's dad, and wouldn't really want to trail his son.
|
"Ah...Sally Franken....hmm you could be right...Oogie probably wouldnt hurt a girl...even he has manners not to do that." The principle said as he gave it lots of thought, Jack suddenly stood up again slamming his hands down onto the table. "No! are you crazy?!....Sally is still new here! and I've known Oogie for a while now...you guys all know him in school...but outside that guy is worst then a criminal! if he knows hes being followed he'll do anything to wipe out the evidence!" He yelled as the janitor nodded and looked over at the principle. "Hes right....I've seen him outside of school....hes not even one to listen to his father...but right now, we cant let you work alone though."
|
Greg sighed and looked at Jack. "Why don't you go with her, She's an unknown face, and I'm sure Oogie wouldn't hurt a girl, she could just say she wants to be friends and gain his trust." He suggested trying to calm Jack down.
Sally stepped out of the class room with a note for class. She walked to class a little shaken. Sitting down after handing the teacher the note she ran the following event in her head. Oogie was trying to ruin the Halloween event, and wanted her to help. She didn't agree or disagree, but she knew she had to talk to Jack. |
Jack started to sit back down and look at his hands, not saying anything else. "Okay...looks like we've made a decision...Jack you will spy on Oogie, with the help of Sally if needed.....now everyone....leave." Jack got back up and walked out of the classroom without another word with the rest of the staff members, he proceeded to his class, knowing with the meeting he shouldnt need to worry about being late. He walked straight to class which was Halloween and scaring.
|
After class Sally hung back in the hallway during break waiting for Jack to get out of class. She didn't know what class he had, so she pretty much felt ridiculous standing there just looking up and down the hallway anxiously. Finally she spotted him and ran to him. "Oh jack, it's horrible, I need to talk to you in private." She said pulling on his shirt sleeve.
|
"huh? Oh um okay--" Before Jack could say anything else she pulled him away, he had to talk to her as well in private so it was basically the same deal for both of them. Once they finally found an empty classroom which was the student council room. "umm what's wrong Sally? Did something come up?" he hadn't known what happened to her eariler because of the meeting, but besides that they had to talk about basically the same buisness.
|
"What no..Oogie made me go to some anti-Halloween meeting before second period and They are trying to ruin your plans, they have a whole plan planned, there going to try to burn down the school during the dance, there going to lock the doors and keep everyone inside then burn it." She said grabbing his hand and looking at him scared.
|
Jack looked at Sally completely surprised about what she had heard from Oogie, he was right, Oogie was behind the planning. He began to hold onto her shoulders and look into her eyes worried for what would happen now. "S-Sally...I've heard the samething, I knew something like this might happen. The staff assigned me to spy on him, to get any proof I can to stop him......w-w-will you help me?....or..........will you help Oogie?" he asked her, knowing the answer could change completely how the next few days would turn out.
|
"I'll help you, but jack he's brainwashed a lot of people, the vampire brothers, Carly, the Vampire sisters were there, the Cyclopse, the Creature from the lake, and Behemoth." She said looking at him with a scared look on her face. She was afraid of what Oogie would do to her if he found out.
|
Jack sighed with a sadful tone hearing how the vampire siblings fell for such a trick. He looked down at the floor then looked up at Sally. "Sally...we have to stop him...together, did he tell you any of his plans? like when he would do something?" he said as he began to give a slight smile across his face, if they knew a time he would do something. Jack could catch up in the act with a video tape or picture to have proof for the principle.
|
Yes, they are going to be in the gym the night before the dance when everything is set up, they are going to mess with the decorations, and fill the Jack-o-lanterns with bugs. They want to find a way to start a fire inside while everyone is in there." She said looking slightly confused at his smile.
|
Jack contiued to smile at Sally when he heard about when Oogie was planning on ruining the dance. "Sally...thank you....now we'll be able to stop him...." He had just realized though, he didnt have a camera, so how would they be able to catch him. "Sally...do you have a camera?" he wondered if she might have one since her father was basically someone who created lots of things, so a camera shouldnt have been too hard to make, was it?
|
"It's not really a camera, its more of a portable x-ray machine, but I'm sure my dad can mess with it to make it a camera." She said pulling it out of her bag, It was about the size of an average text book and had a gaint screen on the front where one could see the x-ray.
|
He looked at the x-ray like camera and tilted his head, he had never seen an x-ray camera before. "Wow...so this can see through anything?" Jack smiled and wonder first of all why Sally even had that but didnt ask since he was afraid it was personal.
|
"Yes, my dad gave it to me just in case I needed to check to make sure my stitches aren't coming loose." She said blushing a little.
|
Jack tilted his head slightly as he looked at the x-ray device. He held it up to his face and looked through it, but didnt see anything but darkness. "Umm...I dont see anything.." He said looking around in it.
|
"You have to wind it up and press the button on top, It's just like a normal camera." She said taking it from him and winding up the dial on the side then pressing the button which turned it on. She held it up to her arm and showed it, it was full of just leaves and bones. "See."
|
Jack looked at Sally's inners and smiled even if it was just plain leaves and bones. He looked over to the side and noticed that the bell was going to ring soon. "Sally...you'd better get to class...the bell's going to ring...I'll meet you after school outside." he said with a final smile as he walked away.
|
Sally nodded and stuck the camera back into her bag and headed to class. Once school was over she waited on edge for Jack to join her outside. She watched as Oogie walked out with the vampire brothers they waved at her and she smiled back then looked down.
|
After school Jack ran straight outside trying to get to Sally. Once he got outside he looked around the school grounds for her, after a while of searching he had finally seen her waved over to her. "Hey Sally!" he yelled towards her then ran over. As Jack ran over towards her Oogie saw him and didnt say anything, he just gave him a dirty stare, and turned away to the brothers. "Lets go.....we cant stick around here too long...or Jack will find out the plan." he said quietly just so no one else could hear but the brothers.
|
Sally waved and smiled when Jack ran up to her. She watched Oogie glare at him and felt as if she would vomit. If he knew she had told them their plans they'd want revenge. "J..jack." She said smiling and picking up her bags. "Ready?" She asked wanting to get home, where it was safe and there were not teenagers trying to burn down the town.
|
Jack tilted his head wondering why Sally seemed so afraid and ready to go, he hadnt seen Oogie glare at him so he was a bit unsure about Sally being afraid. "Sally? w-whats wrong?" he asked her as he began to hold onto her hands up to both of their chests.
|
"Oogie." Sally said looking at him as he walked away. She felt her hands being lifted up and looked back up at Jack. He was so close to her. She could see right into his eye sockets. She stepped a little closer and held onto his hands also and tried not to blush.
|
Oogie looked back at Sally wondering what she had wanted, but all he saw was Jack and Sally holding hands and looking at each other closely. "What is that supposed to mean?" he asked over to her quietly then kept walking away. Jack meanwhile was up really close to her face, he smiled softly as he looked at her. "Sally....whats wrong?...you seemed scared."
|
"I am Jack, I'm afraid of Oogie, I want to help you I really do, I don't want everyone getting hurt because of him...but what if he finds out I'm helping you?" She asked biting her lip and looking up at him, almost looking like a wounded puppy.
