(Oh, yeah, and read from the first post)

Back In The Dungeon

"Hey, babe," Kakashi cat-called to Lita. The Assassin looked at him coldly. "C'mere, darlin', Solitaire knows whats you wants!!"
"Why are you doing that?" Jack asked as he watched Lita walk over to thier cell to slap the black mage very hard across the face.
"I had that coming," Kakashi said as he rubbed his face. "The ol' Mage charm didn't seem to work..."
"So...what do we do now??" Jack asked.
"I dunno, wait for my wife, I guess," Kakashi Leaned against the stone wall.
"Your wife?"
"Yeah, Alice. With the white hair." Kakashi looked at Pumpkinhead. "What? Never heard of an Alice before?"
"Alice...perhaps she has a hand in this?" Jack murmured to himself, the color of his head turning a lighter shade of orange.

The Awakening of the Waltz:Prelude

Jill woke up with a slightly fuzzy feeling. She heard Kakashi yelling.
"YOU IDIOT VEGETABLE!" he was shouting. " Jill's one of the undead! Only a Death spell can wake her up!!! Not Life!"
"S-sorry..." Jack was cowering. Darnit... Jill thought. He's a red mage... how can i marry him like that?
"It won't matter what spell you cast," a viera rattling a keychain told Jill that she was in a cage."in a while, you'll all be resting the enternal slumber, real or not..."
"What do you mean 'real'?" Kakashi demanded.
"Well, I see that undead lass," The viera's eyes glinted."And the jack-o-Lantern as mere shadows, storybook characters. Mages like you-" she tilted her head to a winged mage near the back of the room-"And him as the simple puppets you were manufactured to be. But then again, everyone's someone else's puppet- until they cut the strings."
She walked out again, and Jill got up to observe the Black Waltz.

"Alright," the girl said."You're learning pretty fast, Jack."
"Thanks! But," Jack looked at her as seriously as he was able."When can I learn some of your shadow-magicks?"
"Those," she smiled."Are mine, and mine-"
"PRINCESS!" a black mage ran towards them.
"Halt!" on the other side, a young woman in military uniform- General Jinjur- strode up to them. "Madam, you are under arrest for illegal use of black magic-"
"The princess ain't goin' anywhere," Kakashi grabbed the girl." But to her home-HalloweenTown."
"Wha-?" Jack was confuddled.
"Jack, I guess it's time you learned my name," the girl smiled her wide, haunting smile."I'm Jill Skellington- First Daughter of The Pumpkin King."
A sudden peal of thunder resounded above them.

To Detract from the story: Jack meets Jack

Cause Jack Skellington bears SO many resemblances to Pumpkinhead, and Jack-of-Oz wants to be the perfect son to... well...ANYTHING, I found this pic perfectly cute!

Enter: Jack

Fire whizzed past a pumpkin.
"Darn..." Jack mumbled,drooping over."I can't aim to save me!"
"Then you'd better learn soon," His instructor, an incredibly tall teenage girl with streaming black hair remarked as she winded around him."I've seen the one who taught me what I know bust 13 with one thunder, whilst he was blindfolded!"
"What are you teaching me this for, anyway?" Jack asked. "I don't even know your name!"
"There will be plenty of time for that later," she told him, her green eyes glinting up at him. "After the nightmare's finished..."
