Thomas Discovers Halloween Town

This is how Thomas discovers Halloween Town goes in Thomas' Nightmare Before Christmas.

Thomas: Weird. There are doors each representing a holiday.

[Thomas notices a door shaped like a pumpkin]

Thomas: Hmm. [goes to the door and opens it]

Ryan F-Freeman: You think this is a good idea, Thomas?

Thomas: Of course it is, Ryan. What's the worst that could happen?

Ryan F-Freeman: You would take Crash with you, Thomas.

Thomas: I'll be fine. [puffs into the doorway but soon finds himself plunging into shere darkness]

Ryan F-Freeman: Thomas!

Twilight Sparkle: What's wrong, Ryan?

Ryan F-Freeman: Thomas just fell down that hole. We have to help him.

[Later, Thomas is seen falling down the dark hole]

Thomas: Argh! [hits the floor] Oof!

[He looks around and sees a scarecrow dangling from a sign that says Halloween Town]

Thomas: Halloween Town?

[Thomas puffs past the Scarecrow and enters a graveyard, where shadows pop up one by one in front of him  and the song This Is Halloween starts playing]

Shadow: Young tank engine of such age~

Wouldn't you like to see something strange~

Siamese Shadow: Come with us and you will see~

This, our town of Halloween~

Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright~

It's our town, everybody scream~

In this town of Halloween~

Thomas: No! Keep away from me! [puffs into a house, shuts the door, hurries upstairs and sighs with relief]

Monster from under the bed: I am the one hiding under your bed~

Thomas: Oh, no!

Monster from under the bed: Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red~

Thomas: I'm out! [runs to the side of the stares] Phew, that was close!

Monster from under the stairs: I'm the one hiding under your stairs~

Thomas: Who said that?

Monster from under the stairs: [comes out of the cuboard] Me. Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair~

Thomas: Argh! Get away from me! You're too scary! [races out of the house and shuts the door]

Corpse Chorus: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Thomas: Oh, no! Not more of these creatures. [shuts his eyes]

Vampires: Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!~

In this town we call home~

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song~

Thomas: There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home!

[He opens his eyes and looks around]

Thomas: Phew! That was close!

Mayor: In this town, don't we love it now?~

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise~

Thomas: Wow! This town has a mayor?

Corpse Chorus: Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can~

Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll...~

Thomas: Scream?

Harlequin Demon, Werewolf & Melting Man: Yes! This is Halloween!~

Red 'n' black, slimy green~

Werewolf: Aren't you scared?~

Thomas: Yes.

Witches: Well, that's just fine~

Say it once, say it twice~

Take a chance and roll the dice~

Ride with the moon in the dead of night~

Thomas: You know Ryan can fly with a jetpack.[backs up to a tree]

[The tree turns, revealing it has a face and skeletons dangling from it's branches and approaches Thomas]

Hanging Tree: Everybody scream, everybody scream~

Thomas:[screams] What a nice surprise?

Hanged Skeleton Men: In our town of Halloween!~

I am the wind blowing through your hair~

Thomas: Argh! Too scary!

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright~

Thomas: Yikes!

Corpse Chorus: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Child Corpse Trio: In this town we call home~

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song~

Everyone: La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween! [Repeat]

[Thomas watches in horror as Jack Skellington rises from the fountain]

Jack Skellington: Why hello there.

Thomas: F-F-Fizzling F-F-F-F-Fireboxes. [backs away from Jack]

Jack Skellington: Wait! Don't be scared. [looks at Thomas] You must be OpThomas Prime. Am I right?

Thomas: Yes. But please don't hurt me.

[Jack approaches Thomas]

Jack Skellington: It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you.

Thomas: Then why is everyone here scaring me?

Jack Skellington: That's what the people of Halloween Town does every Halloween.

Thomas: Oh. Well, it's nice to meet you Jack. I'm Thomas the Tank Engine. [transforms into robot mode and shakes Jack's hand]

Jack Skellington: I'm Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King. It's nice to meet you.

[Back up above, Twilight and Ryan are running]

Ryan F-Freeman: I think we need help, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Just where are we going to get help? I mean it's not like we can run at lightning speed or something.

Ryan F-Freeman: I got it! [stops] Let me open a portal for us. [waves his hand and a portal opens up]

[They race inside and arrive at the Autobot Base]

Ryan F-Freeman: Friends! We have something to tell you.

Ratchet: [turns around] What is it, Ryan? You and our pony princess friend here look like something scared the frag out of you.

Ryan F-Freeman: Sorry, Ratchet. It's about Thomas. Tell them, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Thomas, Ryan and I were walking through a forest and then we found some doors each representing a different traditional holiday. [starts talking quickly] And then Thomas opened one shaped like a pumpkin and fell into a big dark hole.

Ryan F-Freeman: And that's why Twilight and I came here for some help.

Optimus Prime: Where are these doors and where can we find the one shaped like a pumpkin that Thomas fell through?

Ryan F-Freeman: I'll check my communicator for some coordinates.

[The coordinates appears and he shows Ratchet, who slowly but surely enters them into the Groundbridge controls]

Ryan F-Freeman: You know where Thomas is, Ratchet?

Ratchet: Yes. Now follow me. [runs towards the groundbridge]

Ryan F-Freeman: Come on, guys. Follow Ratchet.

[Everyone follows Ratchet and they arrive at the place where Thomas found the doors]

Crash Bandicoot: I knew this place. It's the Hinderlands.

Twilight Sparkle: The Hinderlands?

Crash Bandicoot: You know. From the film, Tim Burton's the Nightmare Before Christmas?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, right. Anyways, Thomas fell through a door shaped like a pumpkin.

Ryan F-Freeman: You mean the Halloween Town door?

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. How did you know?

Ryan F-Freeman: I'm sure it's right next to a tree with a door that looks like a Christmas Tree, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: From which I can see. And there's the pumpkin shaped door.

Crash Bandicoot: I'll go open the door.[opens the Halloween Town door]

[Optimus peers inside]

Crash Bandicoot: What did you see, Optimus?

Optimus Prime: Nothing. Just blackness.

Ryan F-Freeman: Let me try something.[tosses a Wumpa fruit through the door]

[Optimus slowly starts to step inside but trips up]

Crash Bandicoot: Don't worry, Optimus.[grabs Optimus] I got you.

[But Optimus is too heavey for Crash and he falls in, Crash being grabbed by Ratchet and then Ratchet being grabbed by Arcee]

Ryan F-Freeman: C'mon, friends. [grabs Arcee] Let's pull Optimus out.

[Everyone starts pulling with Ultra Magnus at the back. But suddenly, Ultra Magnus starts to lose his grip on the others]

Ryan F-Freeman: Ultra Magnus, hold on! [tightens his grip on Ultra Magnus]

[But Optimus is too heavy and pulls the rest of the gang through the door, sending them falling into thick blackness]

Crash Bandicoot: Wow! This is fun.

Ryan F-Freeman: My communicator is picking up a new world!

Twilight Sparkle: And what world is that?

Ryan F-Freeman: Oh no, wait! It's just a smudge on the screen. Never mind!

[The gang lands with a thud on the floor of the cavern Thomas fell down]

Crash Bandicoot: Is everyone ok?

Optimus Prime: Yeah. I'm okay.

Bulkhead: [sits up] Ugh! My head gasket.

Ryan F-Freeman: At least, we survived.[looks at the sign on the scarecrow] Looks like we're in Halloween Town.

[Ryan leads the gang past the scarecrow and into the graveyard]

Ryan F-Freeman: Contralto, you think Thomas came through here?

Contralto: Yes, Ryan. I think he did come through here.

Crash Bandicoot: Contralto's right. Matau, can you activate your Demonbuster armor's scanner and find Thomas' signature?

Matau T. Monkey: I'll try. [checks the Demonbuster armor's scanners]

Cupcake Slash: Has it picked up anything, Matau?

Matau T. Monkey: Yes. It says that Thomas is in a place called Halloween Town.

Crash Bandicoot: That's where our friend Jack Skellington lives.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, then, come on. Let's go find him. I so don't want my boyfriend getting put under a spell by witches or eaten by monsters.

[Ryan had a vision]

Ryan F-Freeman: Ugh! What now?

[in the vision he saw himself pinned to a wall by Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk]
