Author's Note: Hiya, peoples! Did you miss me? I know, it's been like, what, a couple minutes? :) So, here's the beginning of my sequel to A Walk in the Dark, focusing mostly on Jack's little sister, Monique. I hope to make this as entertaining as I can, a much different mood than my first story. This one should be more fun and lively, although I'm not entirely sure as to when I'm going to put up the first chapter yet. I start school in 6 days and I need to get my stuff for college together. *sighs* I love saying that... college, college, college... Anyway, if you followed me from A Walk in the Dark, let me know what you think of the beginning of this and I'll get my first chapter up as soon as life lets me. For those of you who are reading this and haven't read my first story... READ IT! Or else you wont' get a single thing I'm talking about in this story. So, please read and review my prologue for A Walk in the Wrong World.

Disclaimer: And we get to start again... *sighs* I do not own Tim Burton's: The Nightmare Before Christmas...

A Walk in the Wrong World

~By: Gamegirl27

Prologue: Another End… Another Beginning

Jack Skellington is a marvelous King, one beyond compare

The only fit to make even the strongest man scared

Reigning high for years and years to come

Better than anything Oogie Boogie had done

But this story here isn't about Jack

No, we covered that tale few years back

This story is different and rather unique

About his little sister, you can call me Monique

Although I fear there's not much to say

For very soon, I'll be passing away

I'm not trying to kill myself again

My body's just old and has told me when

Now I am in a hospital bed

In a coma-like sleep, resting my head

Thinking of all the things I have done

To be quite honest, my life was fun

I never met that special someone and never said I do

Why? Well, that's because I'm not like any of you

I went to school, graduated, even got a college degree

And spent the last 70 years writing Halloween history

Books about superstition, voo doo, and scary fairy tales

That explain why people get so frightened, even the toughest males

So see? I was too busy figuring out why people are scared

To think of love or relationships, to be honest, I didn't care

I was too wrapped up in my work and content at where I was

To worry about big red hearts, or kisses, hugs, and doves

But as I lay here on this bed just minutes before I die,

I really do wonder what my life would've been if I had that special guy

But I guess that doesn't matter now as my heart begins to slow

Any approaching minute now will be my time to go

I got to do everything I wanted to do

Now here I come, God, I'm ready for you

To soar in the sky with angel wings

To jump on the clouds… among other things

I'm also very glad that it's the thirteenth

Of February, of course, what else did you think?

I don't want to be forever stuck

In a holiday world… that would totally suck

Especially not tomorrow, no how, no way

For tomorrow is the fourteenth… Valentine's Day

It's a shame, though, that I didn't pass away on Halloween

For if I did, my brother, the Pumpkin King, I would've seen

I loved my older brother; he was very close to my heart

Until that fateful night when his death tore us apart

After he was gone… I didn't want to live

So I chose to end my life… exactly how his did

What a stupid mistake that was and almost fatal, too

For that darn Oogie Boogie man almost did me through

But guess who came to save me from that over large sack?

Dead, but still protective, my older brother, Jack

That happened 80 years ago…

It he doing well? I sure hope so

But I kept my promise that I made to him all those years ago

The one I made to him that I would live and prosper and grow…

Oh… my heart has finally stopped… it's time for me to leave

Goodbye, world I've known all my life on this here Valentine's Eve

Hey there, Mom and Dad, I'll be seeing you very soon

And I'll think of you, Jack, night and day as I dance upon the Moon

Now the clock has struck the hour and has begun to chime

Might as well count down till my eyes close for the last time

One… Two… Three… Four…

Five… Six… Okay, no more

Seven… Eight… Nine… Ten…

Okay, chimes, now's your time to end

Eleven… Oh, no… I can see the light

And now the clock has reached… Midnight
