The Nightmare Before Time Part 1

"Mother, is this all we have?" Jack asked when he was three.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my dear," Jack's mother said. "We won't get much food until we reach Halloween Town. Jack! Quickly! Come here! Look, up there. A pumpkin." Jack's mother grabbed the pumpkin and gave it to Jack. Jack ate it until he heard giggling. It was Myra, and she was chasing a bug and kept chasing it. Then the corpse tried to sneak up on it. But the bug sprayed juice in his face. Jack laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Myra asked. Then the two began to fight until Myra's mother came by. She blocked Myra from Jack.
"Come, Myra," Myra's mother said. "Corpses do play with skeletons." Myra spit at Jack. Myra's mother growled at Jack.
"Corpses do not play with skeletons!" Myra yelled. Then Jack's mother picked up Jack. Jack was confused on the word "skeleton".
"Skeleton? Mother, what is a skeleton?" Jack asked.
"Well, that's what we are," the grown skeleton said.
"Well, why can't I play with that corpse? We were having fun," Jack said. Jack's mother said they would be better off to hang with their own kind. Skeletons can't play with corpses, rag dolls or bats. But the woman promised Jack there will be other skeletons in Halloween Town. It may be a long way, but the woman promised they will get there.

That night, Jack and his family rested for the night. But then a frog skeleton came to Jack and hopped away. Jack followed it until Myra stopped him.
"You again? Go away! That's my frog!" Myra yelled.
"I saw it first!" Jack yelled back.
"Well, he's in my pond," Myra said with her back facing Jack. Then Jack and Myra slid down a slide to pond. Then the kids popped bubbles that were appearing in the pond. My thought it was fun. But then a shadow appeared. It was a devil! The kids tried to get away in the bushes. But Jack got stuck. Then he got away before the devil could hurt him. Then Jack's mother came to the rescue. The woman tried to push the devil away but it got back up and hurt her, injuring her badly. Then an earthquake occurred, causing a big hole in the ground. Jack and Myra almost fell in but Jack's mother rescued them. Myra tried to reach her family but the ravine got bigger and a big cliff appeared. It caused all children to be separated from their mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles and even grandparents. The earthquake ended.
"Myra!" Myra's mother yelled.
"Mama! Daddy!" Myra yelled back. That night, Jack was looking for his mother even if it was rainy and his favorite outfit was soaked. Finally, Jack found his mother.
"Mother, please get up," Jack said.
"I'm...not sure I can, Jack," the skeleton woman said.
"Yes you can. Get up," Jack said. But Jack's mother couldn't. The skeleton told Jack that even if she is dead, she will still be with Jack in his heart. Then the skeleton died. Jack started to cry and started his lonely journey to Halloween Town.
