The Mercury Nightmare Before Christmas ch5

Chapter 5

Greg: What's this?

There's people singing songs

Greg as some elves rode by on a wind up polar bear: What's this? The streets are lined

with creatures laughing

Everybody seems so happy

Have I possibly gone daffy?

Greg as he followed the bear and then lept out of the snow man: What is this? What's this?

Greg as he stood ontop of a street lamp with an umbrella: There's children thowing snowballs

instead of throwing heads

They're busy building toys

Greg as he climbed off of the lamp: and absolutely no one's dead

Greg as he pulled down some lights with his umbrella: There's frost on every window

Oh, I can't believe my eyes

Greg as he let go of the lights and leaned against a house: And in my bones I feel the warmth

Greg as he sat down against a house: That's coming from inside

Greg as he turned his head toward the house's door and looked inside: Oh, look, what's this?

They're hanging mistletoe

Greg as he watched two elves kiss: They kiss?

Why, that looks so unique, inspired

Greg as he got up and snuck over to another window: They're gathering around

Hearing stories

Greg as he watched an older elf read to two child elves: Roasting chestnuts on a fire

What's this?

Greg as he noticed more elves decorating a tree: What's this? In here

they've got a little tree

How queer

And who would ever think, and why?

Greg as an elf pluged a cord into the wall: They're covering it with tiny things

Electric lights on strings

Greg as he walked onto the next house's lower foor: And there's a smile on everyone

Greg as he lept onto the other house's roof: Correct me if I'm wrong

Greg as lept onto the otherside of the other house's roof: This looks like fun

This looks like fun

Greg as he sat ontop of the house's window: Oh, could it be I got my wish?

Greg as he lended down and looked into the window: What's this?

Greg quietly as he opened the window and climbed into the house: Oh, my, what now?

Greg as he looked at one of the beds: The children are asleep

Greg as he looked underneith the elf children's bed: But, look, there's nothing underneath

No ghouls

Greg as he snuck over to the other bed: No witches to scream

and scare them or ensnare them

Only little cozy things

secure inside their dreamland

Oh

Greg as he ran off: What's this?

Greg as he stood on a ledge of another building: The monsters are all missing

and the nightmares can't be found

Greg as he walked across the ledge: And in their place there seems

to be good feeling all around

Greg as he got closer the end of the ledge: Instead of screams

Greg as he hooked is umbrella onto a garland: I swear I can hear music in the air

Greg as he slid across the garland: The smell of cakes and pies

are absolutely everywhere

Greg as he landed on a merry go round after letting go of his umbrella: The sights, the sounds

Greg as he walked around the merry go round: They're everywhere and all around

Greg as he hanged onto the merry go round's roof: I've never felt so good before

Greg as he lept off the the ride and then landed ontop of a train: This empty place inside of me

is filling up

Greg as he stood on the train's roof: I simply cannot get enough

I want it, oh, I want it

Greg as he lept off of a train and landed on a sled: Oh, I want it for my own

Greg as sled down a mountain: I've got to know, I've got to know

What is this place that I've found

Greg as he walked off of the sled: What is this?

As he finished singing, Greg then walked into a large sign causing the skeleton to land onto the ground and look up dizzingly.

"Sapphire Town? Hmm." Greg asked himself and then hummed before he heard a whistle causing the skeleton to turn around just in time to see the shadow of a door opening revealing the shadow of a strange man causing Greg to hide behind the pole.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!" the man laughed happily as Greg looked curiously at the shadow.

+Mercury, middle of town+

"This has never happened before." Dovlin told Bertie as they stood by the mayor's car. "It's suspicious." Bertie told Dovlin as the vampires walked over to Byruit. "It's peculiar." Byruit told Dovlin, Bertie, Lilica, Ishihara and Kuwano. "It's scary!" Lilica, Ishihara and Kuwano told the group just as Mayor Diamond walked inbetween two other youma.

"Stand aside. Coming through." the worried Mayor Diamond told the youma as he walked over to his truck and then climbed ontop of it.
