I may just leave this as a one-shot for now. Until I come up with some more ideas to parody. If you have some suggestions for me, I'm all ears! Let me know if any cliches you can't stand in the fandom!

I did some parodies of cliches I dislike in the Hey Arnold fandom just recently. And now, with my rekindled and much stronger love for TNBC, I decided to do some here! :D

Mainly of course, the abuse poor Sally gets. If it wasn't obvious enough in my and Azure129's stories, I love Sally. She's my favourite character in the film next to Jack, of course. I really don't understand all the hatred she gets. Either because she's in the way of the Suethor's pwecious Jack, or, because they feel they're so superior to her and that her character is lame.

Wow. Sally is one of the most relatable and likable characters ever created, if you ask me.

But yes, I have heard. Either with the cheap cop-out of her having never existed, or making her completely out of character enough to have everyone hate her and banish her from town so that precious Mary Sue replacement can have Jack.

Wow.

So, today, I'm going to make fun of that cliche. :D

All characters belong to Tim Burton.

It was a glorious day in Halloween Town. With the sun shining, the sky so blue, birds singing, with laughter filling the air! The townsfolk wandered around, singing and dancing as if they were in the middle of an awesome musical film, offering complete joy for all to see, oh so fair!

Boys and girls of every age! Wouldn't you like to see something not at all strange? Come with us and you will see, this our town of Halloween! This is not Halloween! This is not Halloween!

No one's dead! There's nothing but good feeling all around! Instead of screams you can hear music in the air! Children are throwing toys and balls, instead of throwing heads! Feel the warmth coming from inside!

Oh, this beautiful beautiful town of Halloween!

And now we meet Jack!

"I'm totally clueless and an idiot!" Jack says with a grin. "Oh look! Something shiny over there!"

"Good morning Jack, how are you today?" Sally asks.

"Ew! Get away from me, filthy urchin!" Jack shrieks in fright.

"Attention everyone!" Announces the Mayor. "We have a new citizen joining our town! She's the most beautiful and powerful Demon Goddess ever to exist! Celestia Luna Marianne Izayoi Ayumi Seraphina Kawaii Desu Ne Patricia Glinda Dorothy Hinata Elizabeth Yoko Isabelle Zelda Ilia Midna Bella Swan Alice Rosalie Bella Akari Hermione Galadriel Sakura Anastasia Eowyn Sparkleskirt Karin Cinderella Juliette Kurotsuchi Marina Cullen the Third!"

The beautiful woman is next to him, with long black hair, rainbow eyes, bat wings, barely wearing any clothes at all, fangs, blood red fingernails, perfect body. All the males are now in love with her, including the Mayor.

"That's right! Eyes on ME! ME ME ME ME ME ME ME! MEEEEE!" Celestia screams. "YOU ALL SUCK! I AM GREAT! ME ME ME ME ME!"

"Isn't she the BEST?" Says the Wolfman.

"Yes I agree!" Says Behemoth.

"I quite agree as well." Says Mr. Hyde.

"I do too!" Says the smaller Mr. Hyde.

"I wanna do her!" Says the smallest Mr. Hyde.

"Jack Skellington...I am scarier and more powerful than you..." Celestia flirts. "EW! Who or what is THAT?" She points to Sally.

"Who? I don't know, some kind of rag doll!" Says Jack with a grin.

"Let's go to your room and I'll screw you so much. And you have to marry me, let me be the Queen, and have my babies." Celestia says.

"Of course, my beautiful winged demon Goddess!" Jack proclaims.

"But Jack...what about what happened at the end of the movie?" Sally begs.

"Sorry bitch, but Jack is MINE." Celestia sneers. "The only thing that matters is me. I get my happy ending, my King and everything. You, you don't matter. You are not taking him away from me. I worked far too hard to win him over to give him up to YOU. I hate you so much. You are a horrible and stupid bitch. You never saved Sandy Claws. That was ME in disguise as you. It was never you. I hate you so much. Jack is MINE. MINE!"

"YOU BITCH! I HATE YOU!" Sally wails.

Jack and Celestia go back to his house and do lots of things. Sally is left alone crying.

"I sense there's something in the wind..." Sally sings.

Lock, Shock and Barrel pelt her with sharp objects.

"SHUT UP, YOU STUPID RAG DOLL! NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU!"

"Oh, I love Celestia!" Shock gushes. "I'm going to have her do my nails and re-do my wardrobe!"

"Let's be her servants!" Says Lock.

"Okay! With lots of candy!" Says Barrel.

Later, Jack and Celestia come out.

"We're getting married!" Says Jack.

"I'M getting married!" Celestia says gleefully. "I will be the Queen of Halloween Town! But we'll change the name. We're going to call it Celestia City!"

"I instantly agree with all of that!" Says Jack.

"Me too!" The Mayor grins.

Everyone cheers oh so happily!

Sally later confronts Jack!

"Jack, you are mine! I want you!" Sally says as she throws herself at him. "I will not let you marry that witch! I don't care if you don't like me! I WILL HAVE YOU."

"Let me go!" Jack yells. "HELP! HELP! I'M BEING SEXUALLY MOLESTED!"

"You BITCH! How DARE you!" Celestia screams. "LET GO OF MY FUTURE HUSBAND!"

"Celestia my darling, SAVE ME!" Jack wails.

"I won't let you! He's mine! I don't care what ANYONE says! HE'S MINE! ALL MINE!" Sally cackles.

"That is IT! MAYOR! Banish her immediately!" Jack orders.

"Certainly! I never liked her anyway!" The Mayor says.

Sally is then kicked out and thrown onto her butt into the forest, away from the town. Everyone cheers and celebrates, since no one liked her at all. She was horrible and useless, everyone was happy she was finally gone forever.

Jack and Celestia get married. Because duh, obviously they're a far better couple. They have about ten skeleton demon babies. The town is now Celestia City, and it never celebrates Halloween anymore. But who cares? Celestia is beautiful and scary! Therefore she's perfect for Jack and perfect to be the Queen of the town!

Sally is...who cares? I sure don't!

They all lived happily ever after!

"Wow! That was great!" Stupid Author grinned as she finished her story and posted it on and the Pumpkin Patch website. "I can't wait to get some awesome reviews! Now to write the summary!"

so my oC goes to Haloweenn town an she mets jack and they fall in love! OMG! I LOVE JACK! Sally is banished because she stupid and I h8 her. REVIEW!

"Perfect summary!" Stupid Author said. "I love it! So I hope others will love it too!"

The next day, she checked her e-mail inbox and found that she had four reviews for her story.

"Oh wow! I sure hope they love my story!" She clicked on them and read them all.

Review # 1:Wow, your story sucks. For one, your grammar and spelling are horrible. Second, Jack would never treat Sally like that. Sally was completely out of character all for the sake of your stupid Mary-Sue. This story was horrible. I cannot believe you would even think that this was good.

Review #2: How DARE you write such a story! If you don't like Sally that much, fine, whatever. But to make her out of character like that? What is wrong with you? That's both bad AND lazy writing! And what the hell is with Celestia? She has a long name and she is nothing but a Mary-Sue. Your writing is horrible. And what's wrong with Jack? He's not acting like himself either! He would never treat Sally like that! I hate this story.

Review #3: Well, how typical. You create a Mary-Sue so you can have your precious Jack, make Sally act out of character so everyone will hate her and banish her from town...and make Jack treat her like garbage as a result. The so-called "love" between Jack and Celestia was HORRIBLE. I feel like I'm reading My Immortal! I have news for you, Tim Burton would look at this story and LAUGH his head off! Get it through your head! Jack and Sally love each other and are canon!

Review #4: omg dis is awsum. I luv iT! OMG! MAKE MORE MORE MORE! I LOBE CELETIO! SELLI SUX!

"How DARE YOU ALL!" Stupid Author screamed. "Sally SUCKS! She was useless in the entire movie!"

I appeared out of nowhere, sighing. "Actually, stupid idiot, Sally was far from useless. She not only attempted to save Santa Claus, but she also had the smart idea to try to stop Jack from making a big mistake by pouring fog juice into the town's water source."

"She was trying to ruin Christmas!" Stupid Author screamed.

"No. Sally was apprehensive about Christmas since the beginning, yes. But that's because it was unfamiliar to her and she wasn't sure what to think about it. And even so, you can see during the town meeting that she at first thought it was interesting." I corrected. "She wasn't trying to ruin Christmas. Did you even watch the movie?"

"She DID! SHE DID!"

"She had a premonition that Christmas was going to be a disaster. She tried to warn Jack about it AND stop him from playing Santa because she CARED ABOUT HIM. She didn't want him to get hurt! He wouldn't listen to her! That's why she resorted to being sneaky."

"She's ugly and a rag doll! She was created! Not a real citizen!"

I rolled my eyes. "I hardly remember that factor affecting the story or creating some kind of problem. And she is not ugly. Even if she was, who cares? Pretty looks are not what make a good character."

"She was mean to Dr. Finkelstein!"

"Sally was isolated and wasn't even treated like an equal. She was intrigued by the outside world and wanted to see it, but she was under oppression from Dr. Finkelstein. That was why she resorted to slipping Deadly Nightshade into his food or drinks. Yes, that was wrong of her, but she wasn't trying to kill him or be cruel. After all, the ingredient just put him to sleep. She just wanted freedom to see the outside, and obviously she must've asked him several times, he would refuse, and then she just about had it. She did this because it was the last straw."

"Sally is too shy and boring and nice! She's WEAK!" Stupid Author yelled.

"Did you even watch the movie, or pay attention? Sally IS a shy girl, she's soft-spoken. What's wrong with that? A lot of girls in real life are like that. She's very complex, on top of that, and it makes her character interesting. Why, does she need to be gun-wielding badass mercenary, a bitch, and kicking every guy in the crotch and beating them up even if they so much as look at her the wrong way to be strong, or considered a good character? Wow. What screwed up logic." I said, rolling my eyes again. "Even so, her being shy and being a little nervous about admitting her feelings for Jack does add to the story, because otherwise the movie would have been over. Again, like in real life. A lot of girls are afraid of admitting their romantic feelings toward someone, ESPECIALLY when that someone is out of their league somehow."

"Sally isn't scary! She's the least scary character in the town! Jack would NEVER go for someone who is the exact opposite of him!" Stupid author smirked.

I groaned. "You have a point. Sally isn't exactly scary. But wow, you obviously don't know Jack very well, do you? He is not shallow or an idiot. I hardly remember him complaining about that. What I DO remember is Jack falling in love with Sally because she genuinely loved him and cared about him. He realized how far she would go to help him."

"He could have said ANYTHING when he said that line in Oogie Boogie's lair! He was probably even about to say he hated her!"

"Oh come on. Really? Oh what, after all that happened, you wanted him to say, 'Sally, I never realized that you...are not the one for me, I hate you'? That is not only completely out of context and out of character, but that's just stupid."

"I hate this pairing! I love Jack! He should be mine! WE are meant to be!"

"Hey, honey? Guess what? No one cares."

"You just wait! When Tim Burton sees my character, he'll beg me to let him use her and replace that stupid Sally!"

"No. That's never going to happen!"

"I'm writing him a letter!"

"Oooh, scary. Okay, tough girl. Let me get you a pen."

So she wrote the letter:

dear timmy,

Stupid Author

And she sent the letter!

A week later, she got a letter back from Tim Burton, and she was so excited.

It read:

Dear Stupid Author,

I have to give you kudos for having the courage to write to me. Unfortunately for you, I cannot accept this. Your character has a name that is far too long, and she sounds completely bland and unrealistic. Even by my standards. Your story was atrocious. I don't tend to care so much about what people do when they write with my characters, but to be honest, you story really offended me, and so did your letter. I understand you don't like Sally, that's your opinion. But like it or not, that's the character in the film, and she is Jack's girlfriend. I'm sorry, but that's not my problem.

I will not be using Celestia in any kind of works that have to do with Nightmare, and I don't think anyone else would, either. Just because you like Jack, want him for yourself (which is creepy) and hate Sally and want her out of the picture, does not mean it's going to happen. Face it, either there are girls who are doing the same thing you are doing, fans who don't like the pairing but don't make stupid stuff out of it, or the fans just want Jack and Sally together.

Do not ever write me again. Good day.

Tim Burton.

Stupid Author wailed and cried to her parents and friends, who all laughed at her and said one big "I TOLD YOU SO!" to her. She cried and cried. She failed. Her story was reported and deleted, too! Yay!

"What...was THAT?" Jack blinked, looking weirded out.

"What is it, Jack?" Sally entered the room, holding some fabric in her hands.

"Someone just wrote an atrocious story. ...I'd best not explain it." Jack stood up and hugged his beloved girlfriend. "But it's not true. I love you, my darling Sally...we are meant to be. I would never treat you horribly!"

Sally smiled and hugged him back. "I love you too, Jack. And I would never treat you like that, either."

The two giggled and hugged each other some more, so full of love.

THE END.
