Oogie has had enough of L,S,&B and kicks them out. Not knowing where to go they find them selves lost in the forest until they came upon a house made of candy. This seems to be heaven for the evil three until they realize that not all is as it apears.
This story has nothing to do with my other fanfics, it's inspired by the story of Hansel & Gretel.
Oogie had put up with Lock Shock and barrel for the Last time. "GET OUT!" he bellowed at the three now frightened children. For once they did as they were told and ran. Oogie chased them to the door yelling as he went. Oogie stopped in the door way as he watched Lock, Shock and Barrel run into the Woods. Good riddance, he thought.
Lock, Shock and Barrel were deep into the forest before they stopped running.
Lock: This is all your fault Barrel!
Barrel: My fault! You’re the one who said we should do that stupid prank.
Lock: We wouldn’t have gotten caught if you hadn’t messed it up.
Barrel: I didn’t mess it up! That was Shock’s fault!
Shock: Hey! I didn’t do anything! You two can just shut it! Now where are we going to go?
Lock, Shock, and Barrel looked at each other hoping the other would have a plan.
Lock: Well, we could go to one of the other holidays.
Barrel: Yeah! Let’s go back to Easter and steal the rabbit’s candy!
Shock: Do you remember how to get to the doors?
Lock: I think so, this way I think.
And so Lock, Shock, and Barrel walk deeper into the woods not realizing they were going the wrong way.
Shock: Are you sure this is the way to the doors?
Lock: Of course I am, I think.
Barrel: You don’t have a clue where were going do you?
Shock: Oh great, now we’re lost.
Lock: We are not lost! I know exactly where we’re going!
Barrel: Then where are we?
Lock: Uhhhh…
Then Lock notices a house in the distance.
Lock: Hey, look, there’s a house!
Shock: Where?
Barrel: I don’t see a house.
Lock: It’s right there, to the left.
Shock: I see it!
Barrel: Oh yeah! Hey, I wonder if they have any candy.
Lock: Is candy all you think about?
Barrel: No! I think about cake too!
Shock rolls her eyes at her two brothers as she makes her way towards the house. Lock and Barrel closely follow her. When they get closer to the house they realize it is entirely made of candy.
Barrel: Now this is my kind of house.
Lock: I wonder who lives there.
Shock: Who cares? Anyone who would build a house out of candy has got to be friendly.
So Lock, Shock, and Barrel ring the doorbell. They start to say ‘trick-or-treat’ but are taken aback when they realize the woman who answered the door had buttons for eyes.
Woman: Hello there! What a pleasure to have guests.
Lock: Uh, hi.
Shock: We were wondering…
Barrel: Can we eat your house?
Woman: Sorry, but I need this house to live in, however, if you’d like some candy I have plenty you can eat in here.
Lock & Barrel: Great!
Shock: Wait a minute; aren’t we not supposed to accept candy from strangers?
Lock & Barrel: O_o
Shock: You’re right; I don’t know what came over me.
Lock, Shock, and Barrel enter the Mysterious woman’s house. She closes the door behind them, an evil glint in her button eyes. L, S, & B can’t believe their eyes. There was candy everywhere. They’d hit the Jackpot.
Woman: Eat as much as you want.
L, S, & B thought they were in heaven. This was much better than Oogie they thought. But one question nagged at Shock.
Shock: Who are you?
Woman: I’m the Beldam. But you three can call me mother if you want.
Lock: (mouth full of candy) mmm…fine with me…mmm
Barrel: You can be my mom any day.
The Beldam smiled.
Beldam: I’m happy to hear it.
Meanwhile at Oogie’s Lair:
Oogie answers the door to find an old hag in a business suit.
Oogie: What do you want?
Hag: Are you Mr. Boogie, guardian of Lock, Shock, and Barrel?
Oogie: What’s it to you?
Hag: I’m their social worker; I’m here to check up on them.
Oh, crap, thought Boogie, I’ve got to find those kids.
Oogie: Hold that thought.
Oogie closed the door in the hag’s face then waddle-ran through the house and out the back door. It’ hasn’t been that long has it? Thought Oogie, they couldn’t have gone far.
Back at the candy house L, S, & B had eaten their fill of candy.
Lock: This is awesome!
Barrel: I have to hand it to you Lock; if you hadn’t gotten us lost we would have never found this place.
Shock: Yeah, but don’t you think we should be going home now?
Lock: Why? So Oogie can yell at us again? No way, I’m staying right here.
Barrel: Me too.
Shock: But…
Lock: But what?
Shock: *Sigh* Nothing…
But Shock had a bad feeling about this place. Why was a total stranger being so nice to them? This seemed a bit suspicious. But Lock and Barrel wanted to stay here, and as long as they were here she figured she’d stay too. The Beldam reentered the room carrying three boxes. She placed one in front of the three then sat at the table across from them.
Beldam: You three do like it here don’t you?
Lock & Barrel: Yeah!
Shock: (less enthusiastically) yeah…
Beldam: Well, you could stay here forever if you wanted to.
L, S, & B: Really?
Beldam: There’s just one tiny little thing you have to do first.
L, S, & B: What?
Beldam: Open the boxes and you’ll see…
L, S, & B open the boxes to find each containing two buttons, a needle, and thread. They looked curiously at the buttons then back at the Beldam who tapped her button eyes.
Beldam: Black is traditional, but if you’d like another color, just ask.
Lock: You want us…
Shock: To sew buttons...
Barrel: Into our eyes?
......................................................
Will Lock, Shock and Barrel sew the buttons?
Will Oogie find his boys?
Is the Social worker still standing outside Oogie's house?
