The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin Princess - Fanfic Story 1

KIDNAP THE SANDY CLAWS

(Lock's pov)

I ran after my cohorts, dreading this whole thing. We "promised" to leave Oogie Boogie out of this, but Shock and Barrel didn't mean it. Sometimes I wondered if they knew my secrets--that they knew I was dating Skelly and that I didn't want to do anything with them. Sometimes I wondered if they knew I had night terrors and that I was afraid to sleep.

We ran to Oogie Boogie's house and walked into our birdcage elevator. We looked at each other. Knowing what was about to arise, I had no choice but to play along.

All: Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?

Me: I wanna do it!

Barrel: Let's draw straws!

Shock: Jack said we should work together.

Barrel: Three of a kind!

Me: Birds of a feather!

All: Now and forever! (Wheeee!) La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

All: Kidnap the Sandy Claws! Lock him up real tight! Throw away the key and then turn off all the lights!

We went into the house and got Oogie Boogie's food ready. Shock opened a cage to let Barrel put his lollipop inside.

Shock: First we're going to set some bait inside a nasty trap and wait. When he comes a-sniffing we will snap the trap and close the gate.

By that time, a bug had fallen for our bait, and Shock closed the gate of the trap and tossed it to me. I dropped the cage into a pot to coat the bug in Boogie's favorite sauce.

Me: Wait! I've got a better plan to catch this big red lobster man. Let's pop him in a boiling pot and when he's done, we'll butter him up!

All: Kidnap the Sandy Claws! Throw him in a box! Bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks!

Shock took the bug, and we all went to the entrance to Oogie Boogie's room. She tossed the cage into the pipe.

Shock: Then Mr. Oogie Boogie man...

All: Can take the whole thing over then! He'll be so I pleased, I do declare, that he will cook him rare, wheeeee!!

Why were we completely disobeying Jack? Oh, yeah... We were trick or treaters...

Me: I say that we take a cannon, aim it at his door and then knock three times and when he answers, Sandy Claws will be no more!

Shock: You're so stupid. Think now. If we blow him up to smithereens, we may lose some pieces...

Me and Shock: And then Jack will beat us black and green!

All: Kidnap the Sandy Claws! Tie him in a bag. Throw him in the ocean then see if he is sad.

Me and Shock: Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around. If I were on his Boogie list, I'd get out of town.

We hopped into our bathtub after Barrel drained it, and the bathtub's legs began to walk.

Barrel: He'll be so pleased by our success that he'll reward us, too, I'll bet.

All: Perhaps he'll make his special brew of snake and spider stew!

We got out of the bathtub to get some supplies.

All: We're his little henchmen, and we take our job with pride. We do our best to please him and stay on his good side.

Shock: I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb.

Barrel: I'm not the dumb one!

Me:You're no fun!

Shock: Shut up!

Me: Make me!

Shock: I've got something, listen now! This one is real good, you'll see! We'll send a present to his door, upon there'll be a note to read. Now in the box, we'll wait to hide until his curiosity...

Me and Shock: Entices him to look inside and then we'll have him one, two, three!

All: Kidnap the Sandy Claws, beat him with a stick. Lock him up for ninety years, see what makes him tick. Kidnap the Sandy Claws, chop him into bits. Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks. Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see. Lock him in a cage and then throw away the keeeeyyyy!!!
