October 31st
Author's Notes: The end is here.
2:00 AM:
Jack yawned tiredly and stood up, getting out of the pile of goo that was Wicker-Boogie's remains. He looked around and saw the citizens of Halloween Town pulling people out of the ooze, some conscious, some not.
"Are you okay, Jack?" A familiar voice asked from nearby. Jack turned and saw the friendly face of Sally. "My legs are a bit wobbly, but other than that I'm fine." Jack answered with a smile. "What happened while I was inside that thing?"
"A boy in an orange shirt came and told us that Wicker had a fear of bugs." Sally explained as she helped Jack stay balanced. "Since Oogie Boogie was made of bugs, we knew that if we got some to come out we could terrify that thing out of its mind. But what happened in there, Jack?"
"Wicker bit off more than he could chew." Jack explained simply. "Where is the boy who told you Wicker's fear?" "He and his friends went back to their world." Sally answered. "Everyone who was absorbed was in the goo; we just needed to pull them out."
Jack looked at the goo that nearly covered all of Halloween Town. He smiled excitedly, ideas flying into his mind. He knew something that would make Halloween the most horrible ever.
12:00 AM:
"So when should the news stop asking us about everything?" Eddy asked irritably. The three Ed's were gathered in Ed's room, since school was officially cancelled.
"This whole thing was so chaotic for our parents that I had some Psychonauts erase their memories." Double D explained, wearing a new hat. "Meanwhile, a cover-story is being made for the news; hopefully they'll believe it."
"Soap!" Ed cried out in fear, still not over his trip to the Casino of Nightmares.
"So, Double D… what happened between you and Petrificia, anyways?" Eddy asked with a smile. "Did she try to—?" "I don't want to talk about it, Eddy; the whole thing was traumatic." Double D interrupted fiercely. Suddenly, he remembered something.
"The costume contest!" He declared. "What?" Eddy asked in confusion. "Remember, Eddy? We had a bet set up over who would have the scariest costume!" Double D exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah." Eddy said, having trouble remembering. "So much stuff has happened that I forgot all about it… I'd rather we just called off the whole thing; I don't have a costume, anyways."
Double D sighed and nodded. "I don't have one, either." He admitted. Suddenly, a thought struck him. "Eddy… what are you going to do with all of that money you raked in from that plant?"
Eddy chuckled. "I already spent it on a new hobby." He explained. "It cost a lot of money, but it's supposed to be pretty cool."
"Bring home the bacon, eh, Eddy?" Ed asked knowingly as he grabbed his friends happily. Double D, trying not to vomit on Ed's odor, smiled. "I'm just glad this whole thing's over." He said with a chuckle.
4:00 PM:
"Well, I wasn't able to marry him by the deadline…" Petrificia said sadly as she sat on her throne in her castle in Gray City. Shadela, Nightla, and D'Crane were standing before her. "I guess I'll just have to keep trying, won't I?"
"Half of the populace got into the other worlds." D'Crane said, trying to cheer her up. "At least we succeeded in that goal." Petrificia sighed dismally. "I guess so…"
4:12 PM:
Wesley walked out of the door to his shop, carrying the last box of merchandise to his car. He put the box in the back along with the others, got in his car, and drove off.
4:22 PM:
Sarah stared at her doll, Talky Tina. "I know you can talk." Sarah said sternly. "I know you're alive, and that you've been helping us! Say something!"
Talky Tina was silent.
5:00 PM:
Jonny took his tenth and final picture with the camera, taking a picture of his friend Plank. "Well, how does it look?" Plank asked once the picture came out. Jonny looked at the picture in confusion. Instead of Plank, there was a boy around his age in the photo.
11:57 PM:
"Hello?" Vernon asked as he knocked on Jimmy's door. "Trick-or-Treat! You're supposed to answer the door when I knock… and then I say Trick-or-Treat… and then you give me candy… are you listening to me?"
Confused, Vernon began walking away. He stopped, seeing a book in Jimmy's trash-can. He took the book out and read its title: 'The Evil Thing.' Curious, Vernon opened the book and began reading it out loud.
"The Evil Thing is a gruesome beast.
On living flesh, it loves to feast.
It's a two-headed thing that you don't wish to greet...
One head sucks your blood; one head chews your meat.
It carries its babies in slimy eggs on its back.
The babies are hungry when they hatch for a snack,
so the Evil Thing traps some poor victim alive,
for the babies to eat when their birthdays arrive,
but don't worry, don't cry, please don't have a fit...
The Evil Thing is not real unless you think about it."
"How can you not think about it?" Vernon asked in confusion as a monster appeared behind him.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
