A Hocus Pocus Holiday

Billy Butcherson

Note: There's going to be the Oogie's Revenge video game reference.

Jack Skellington and Binx are at the Spiral Hill Graveyard.

The Pumpkin King wondered. "You certain they won't go closer than here?"

The black cat clarified. "I don't know. Where I come from, witches cannot set foot in the cemetery."

Jack questioned. "Do you know why?"

Binx answered. "Because the cemetery I came from is hallowed ground."

The Pumpkin King stares at his right bony hand. "Let's hope we're fully prepared for the Sandersons then."

The black cat had wondering eyes. "What you have there, Jack?"

The Pumpkin King shows him the green animated blob. "Oh this? It's the soul rubber. Dr. Finkelstein made it."

Binx wondered again. "Can it be stopped to the Sanderson sisters?"

Jack confirmed. "I won't know until I try it."

The witches' laugh startled them.

They glanced up.

The Sanderson sisters are flying on their brooms. They're just levitating. Except one. Winifred flies on her broomstick. Sarah flies on her mop. And Mary, a vacuum cleaner.

Winifred mocks. "All hail to the pumpkin king!"

They laughed again.

Jack exclaimed in frown. "You all have been to Halloween Town?!"

They laughed hysterically.

Winifred said in confident. "Oh you numbskull. Your town has been talking about you."

The Pumpkin King still frowned at them. Same goes to the black cat.

Winifred says more. She was talking to the skeleton. "Oh Jack. For the master of terror yourself, you're nothing but a soft-head."

The Pumpkin King had enough of their ploying. "What are you plotting to do with Catalina?"

The Sanderson sisters are bewildered.

Mary whispers to Winnie.

She gets it.

Winifred mentions. "Ah, you mean that wolf girl we have got in the dark woods."

Sarah giggles.

Mary repeated in a tease. "Wolf girl."

Jack goes stern. "Winifred! Return Catalina to us at once!"

They laughed hysterically again.

Binx declared. "I guess talking to them won't do good. They'll tricked you to get what they want."

The Pumpkin King nodded to the black cat.

Jack said. "Okay. This is for the children."

The Pumpkin King was twirling his soul rubber.

The Sanderson sisters looked at the skeleton.

Winifred teased. "What are you up to, Jack? Playing your goo game?"

They laughed again until the pumpkin king did a smart move.

Jack Skellington lassoed his soul rubber to Winifred's broom. The Pumpkin King yanked her.

She made a face. "Ha-wha-?!"

Jack spins her around.

Mary and Sarah moves their heads. Focusing on her sister.
