We all walked out off the house and hurried to the one house that wouldn't open. I inserted the key quickly, because I had a feeling that Oogie knew I was here. He usually would know. Once I opened the door, I hurried in with Jack and Sally, who were now holding hands. Jack closed the door, and I heard a click, which made the door lock up again.

There was only a table in the room, and on that table was a purple clock. It was more like a hourglass, with wires and a clock attached to it. There was a dial underneath the clock that showed years, months, days, minutes, and seconds. There was a note attached to the clock. I grabbed it and read it aloud.

"This clock is to take you back in time, but only once to fix what needs to be fixed. Once you fix what needs to be fixed, the clock will take you back to your regular time. The clock will not work once you go back to your time. Whoever is with you, Hollow, will remember what has happened, and will help you fix what needs to be fixed. To set the time and date, just turn the dials attached to each word and press the button that is on the top of the clock to go. Make sure not to be caught, be careful, and choose wisely. Sincerely, Clockwork." I ended. I was surprised that I was supposed to do this but I'll have to go along with it.

It took me only a second to decide which date I would change. The day Oogie escaped.

I set the time and date, and looked at Jack and Sally. All they did was nod in approval, like I was their daughter. I turned back the clock, and pressed the button that would send us back in time.
