Sunlight poured into the clubhouse of Lock, Shock, and Barrel. The all slept on a bunk bed...or, one made for three people. Shock was on the bottom, Barrel was in the middle, and Lock was on the top. Barrel was snoring loudly, making it hard for Shock to sleep in.

"Barrel! Shut up!" Shock yelled punching the bed above. Barrel jumped and hit his head on the top bunk causing Lock to wake up.
"Oww! What was that for?" Barrel groaned.
"For snoring!" Shock replied to Barrel.
"I can't help it!"
"Then stop breathing!" Shock told him.
"I can't stop breathing, stupid!" Barrel shouted.
"Both of you shut up already!" Lock yelled down to both of them.
"Y'know if Oogie were here, he would settle this." Shock said.
"What's there to settle? All you two have to do if not talk! Well, actually, that might be impossible..." said Lock.
"Ugh!" Shock moaned. The snoring incident woke them all up. Shock wouldn't get to sleep in because of Barrel and Lock was yelling at them. A great way to start out the day. Shock was looking at the ground for a while thinking.
"What's the matter with you?" Lock asked.
"Just a thought, but what if we were to bring back Oogie?"
Barrel spit out the soda he was drinking. Yes, he's drinking soda in the morning.
"Why would you want to do that!?" Barrel asked.
"And if we were to, how would we?" Lock asked.
"I don't know! I miss him."
Barrel let out a giggle but Lock and Shock just glared at him.
"What? I thought it was funny..."

Meanwhile, Jamie was already awake watching tv sitting next to Jack, and Sally was making breakfast.
"Daddy, when is Christmas?" Jamie asked.
"Not for another week. But it'll be here in no time." Jack smiled.
"Can we go see Sandy?"
"Uhh...I'm not sure he'll want me back in his town after what happened."
"Oh yeah..." Jamie said.
"Jamie, come here for a second!" Sally shouted.
Jamie went to see what her mother wanted. then Jack thought to himself. What was he going to get Jamie and Sally for Christmas? Suddenly the doorbell rang leaving a scream ringing throughout the house. Jack got up to answer it. Jack thought it was going to be the Mayor again, but to his surprise it was Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
"You three! What do you want?" Jack asked.
"No need to yell Jack, we were just walking around and we wanted to bring you this!" Lock said holding out a box. Jack took it.
"What is it?" Jack asked.
"You'll see." Shock said. Jack slammed the door on them. The box was really light weight. He opened the box. All there was was a note inside which read 'Your Christmas will not be the same.'
"What's that suppose to mean?" Jack thought out loud. He shrugged and threw the paper away.
"Jack, come on!" Sally shouted to him. Jack walked into the kitchen.
"Who was that?" Sally asked.
"Lock, Shock, and Barrel. I don't know why they came...but they gave me a note."
"What did the note say?" Jamie asked.
"All it said was 'Your Christmas will not be the same.' Have no idea what that's suppose to mean." Jack answered. Sally looked worried for a minute.
"Jack, can I talk to you for a second?" Sally asked.
"What are you doing?" Jamie asked.
"I'm just gonna talk to daddy for a second." Sally answered. Sally took Jack's arm and lead him into the hallway.
"Jack, I have a bad feeling about this." Sally started.
'Why?"
"It doesn't sound right. I think you should talk to the Mayor."

Back at the clubhouse, down is Oogies old lair, a small snake slithered into the darkness. An evil laughter was then heard throughout the lair and the clubhouse. It was the laughter of Oogie Boogie. Lock, Shock, and Barrel started laughing as well.
Sorry, this chapter probably sucks. ^^; I meant to bring Oogie back, but I didn't really know what to write in between...I tried. Next chapter will be better. :D
