Chapter 5
In the morning, the sun rose as the skeleton rooster crowed.
The Vampires sang "Something's up with Jack and something's up with Garfield Don't know if we're ever going to get them back."
The vampires covered themselves from the sun. The two girls woke up as they saw Jax walk by.
Jax sang "They're all alone up there Locked away inside."
The corpse mother and child walked by.
Corpse kid's mom sang "Never says a word"
Corpse kid sang "Hope they haven't died"
Citizens of Halloween sang "Something's up with Jack and something's up with Garfield"
The two girls saw the skeleton and cat pacing in their home..
Jack sang "Christmas time is buzzing in our skull. Will it let us be? I cannot tell There's so many things I cannot grasp When I think I've got it, and then at last Through my bony fingers it does slip"
Jack made a Christmas tower out of cards, it stayed up for a bit then it fell over.
Garfield swiped some of the cards off the desk. Then they spun around the room.
Garfield sang "Like a snowflake in a fiery grip Something here I'm not quite getting Though I try, I keep forgetting Like a memory long since past Here in an instant, gone in a flash What does it mean? What does it mean?"
They looked at the figurines in wax?
Jack sang "In these little bric-a-brac A secret's waiting to be cracked These dolls and toys confuse us so Confound it all, I love it though Simple objects, nothing more But something's hidden through a door Though I do not have the key Something's there I cannot see What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean?"
Jack picked up the doll then shook it. Then tossed it to the sleeping dogs as it squeaked waking up then looking confused.
Garfield looked through some books.
Garfield sang "Hmm... We've read these Christmas books so many times I know the stories and I know the rhymes. I know the Christmas carols all by heart. My head's so full, it's tearing me apart. As often as I've read them, something's wrong."
Garfield and Jack sat on a step of the ladder.
Jack sang "So hard to put my bony finger on Or perhaps it's really not as deep As I've been led to think."
The dogs gave them their pictures as they looked at the pictures deeply.
Garfield and Jack sang "Are we been trying much too hard? Of course! We've been too close to see The answer's right in front of us."
They see them wearing Christmas clothes.
Garfield and Jack sang "Right in front of us It's simple really, very clear Like music drifting in the air Invisible, but everywhere Just because we cannot see it Doesn't mean we can't believe it."
They got up. Then rode the ladder. They took the tree then danced with it.
Jack sang "You know, I think this Christmas thing It's not as tricky as it seems"
Garfield took the lights off as the tree spun knocking off the ornaments, as they cracked on the ground as the ghosts dogs were shocked.
Garfield sang "And why should they have all the fun? It should belong to anyone"
Garfield and Jack sang "Not anyone, in fact, but us Why, we could make a Christmas tree And there's no reason we can find we couldn't handle Christmas time we bet we could improve it too And that's exactly what we'll do! Hee,hee,hee!"
The wrapped the lights on an electric chair then lit it up as the lights popped.
They opened the window.
Jack said "Eureka!! This year..."
Jack and Garfield shouted "Christmas will be ours!"
The crowd cheered as the girls looked saddened. The crowd was lining up for a special task from the two.
Mayor said "Patience, everyone. Jack and Garfield has a special Job for each of us. Dr. Finkelstein!"
The girls saw Dr. Finkelstein coming so they hid.
Mayor said "Your Christmas assignment is ready."
Dr. Finkelstein looked around then rode up.
Mayor said "Dr. Finkelstein to the front of the line."
A baby toy was making a sound.)
Vampire 1 asked "What kind of a noise is that for a baby to make?"
Jack asked "Perhaps it can be improved?"
Vampires replied "No problem!"
Jack said "I knew it!"
Dr. Finkelstein rolled up to the two.
Garfield said "Doctor, thank you for coming. We need some of these."
Garfield showed a book with Santa and his reindeer.
Dr. Finkelstein said "Hmm.. their construction should be exceedingly simple. I think."
Mayor said "How horrible our Christmas will be."
Jacl said "No--how jolly."
The mayor got nervous.
Mayor said "Oh, how jolly our Christmas will be."
He got a bunch of stuff launched at him. He growled then saw who did it.
Mayor asked "What are you doing here?"
Lock said "Garfield and Jack sent for us."
Shock said "Specifically."
Barrel said "By name."
Lock said "Lock."
Shock said "Shock."
Barrel said "Barrel."
Ickis said "Ickis."
Krumm said "Krumm."
Oblina said "Oblina."
Barrel took a lick of his lollipop.
Mayor said "Garfield, Jack it's Oogie and Jinx's boys!"
Jack said "Ah, Halloween's finest trick or treaters. The job we have for you is top secret."
Garfield said "It requires craft, cunning, mischief."
Krumm said "And we thought you and Jack didn't like us."
The six laughed.
Garfield said "Absolutely no one is to know about it. Not a soul. Now..."
They began whispering the plan. The mayor tried to listen but the megaphone was blocked so he looked inside then put his hand it to be bitten by his spider pendant so he put it back on his shirt then hit it making it stop moving.
Garfield said "And one more thing." He grabbed Lock's tail "Leave that no account Ooogie Boogie and Jinx out of this!"
Barrel said "Whatever you say, Garfield."
Shock said "Of course Garfield."
Ickis said "Wouldn't dream of it Garfield."
They laughed as it showed they had crossed finger behind their backs. They walked out of the town hall, the town and to their clubhouse.
Ickis, Krumm, Oblina, Lock, Shock, and Barrel sang "Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?"
Lock sang "I wanna do it."
Barrel sang "Let's draw straws."
Shock hit them with her mask.
Shock sang "Garfield and Jack said we should work together."
Ickis sang "Six of a kind."
Krumm sang "Birds of a feather"
Ickis, Krumm, Oblina, Lock, Shock, and Barrel sang "Now and forever Wheeee La, la, la, la, la Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight Throw away the key and then Turn off all the lights"
They rode the elevator to their clubhouse then barrel used his Lollipop in a cage to catch a bug. Oblina used an axe to close the trap door.)
Oblina sang "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"
Lock poured some liquid in a cauldron.
Lock sang "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"
He dunked the bug in it then lock took it out to show the bug poisoned. Shock took it to an entrance.
Ickis, Krumm, Oblina, lock, Shock, and Barrel sang "Kidnap the Sandy Claws Throw him in a box Bury him for 90 years Then see if he talks.
Shock then tossed the bug down a pipe.
Shock sang "Then Mr. Oogie Boogie Man and Mrs. Jinx..."
The bug went down the pipes.
Ickis, Krumm, Oblina, Lock, Shock, and Barrel sang "Can take the whole thing over then He'll be so pleased, I do declare That he will cook him rare Wheeee"
Then two shadows were shown as one sucked up the bug from the cage.
Krumm put barell in a catapult.
Krumm sang "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"
Barrel was launched through a door. He came out of the room with a Cauldron on his head then fell.
Shock sang "You're so stupid, think now lf we blow him up to smithereens We may lose some pieces And then Jack and Garfield will beat us black and green"
They grabbed barrel out of the cauldron and tossed him into the bathtub
Ickis, Krumm, Oblina, Lock, Shock, and Barrel sang "Kidnap the Sandy Claws Tie him in a bag Throw him in the ocean Then, see if he is sad"
Ickis, Krumm, Oblina, Lock and Shock sang "Because Mr. Oogie Boogie and Mrs. Jinx is the meanest guys around If I were on his Boogie list, I'd get out of town"
They jumped in but the water was drained. Barrel then flipped a switch as the tub came to life.
Barrel sang "They'll be so pleased by our success That he'll reward us too, I'll bet."
The tub went to a room of tricks.
Ickis, Krumm, Oblina, Lock, Shock, and Barrel sang "Perhaps they'll make their special brew Of snake and spider stew Ummm! We're his and her little henchmen and We take our job with pride We do our best to please him And stay on his good side"
Oblina went to different weapons.
Oblina sang "I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb"
Ickis pulled krumm with a ball and chain.
Krumm sang "I'm not the dumb one"
Ickis sang "You're no fun"
Oblina sang "Shut up"
Ickis sang "Make me"
Shock showed them a box.
Shock sang "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 and hide Until his curiosity entices him to look inside"
Then shock opened the box as scorpions jumped onto barrels head hissing. They all grabbed items to get Santa Claus.
Ickis, Krumm, Oblina, Lock, Shock and Barrel sang "And then we'll have him 1, 2, 3 Kidnap the Sandy Claws, beat him with a stick Lock him up for 90 years, see what makes him tick Kidnap the Sandy Claws, chop him into bits Mr. Oogie Boogie and Mrs. Jinx is sure to get their kicks Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see Lock him in a cage and then, throw away the key"
Oogie Boogie and Jinx asked "Sandy Claws, huh? ..Hahaha"
Then dice was thrown to show snake eyes then a snake came out hissing.
