After that incident, I was very bored. Now that I have a sack for a body, I needed furniture to sleep and sit in. The only way I can get those things is that if I go to the real world. I ran to a graveyard where a tombstone was unbalanced in it's place. I went through the underground passageway until I saw a city up ahead. It had the most colorful neon lights I ever seen.
"Hey buddy, what is this place?" I tapped some guy's shoulder.
"It's called Las Vegas. You gamble your life away!" The guy said in a drunk way. My eyes widened with excitement. I waddled my way to the casino. To me, it was heaven. Luckily today was Halloween because of two things. One, everyone was in cosstume so I wouldn't be thrown out. Two, no one in Halloween Town will be looking for me since they will be too busy with the holiday.
"Okay boys, let's play!" I laughed loudly, sitting in a chair. I grabbed some red dice and started rolling them. A few guys looked at me funny. They grabbed a chair and started to play poker with me.
"Royal Flush!" I held my cards up. Cursing was heard.
"Man, how does he win?" A few men complained. Suddenly, a big man with strong muscles sat across from me.
"Look buddy, I don't know who you are, but you are going down. I'm the best gambler here!" The man boasted. I laughed so loud, worms came out from my mouth. A certain jazz band started to play eerie music. It had a good beat.
"You're joking, you're joking, I can't believe my eyes! You joking, you gotta be, you can't be the right guy!" I sang to the so-called gambler. He looked disgusted.
"You're ancient. You're ugly. I don't know which is worse! I'd might just spilt a seam now if I don't die laughing first!" I still laughed. The guy growled and tried to punch me, but I tied his shirt into the roulette wheel.
"Well, Mr. Oogie Boogie says there's trouble close at hand. You better pay attetion now cuz' I'm the BoogieMan!" I spun the wheel, causing the guy to choke.
"And if you aren't shaking, then there's something very wrong. Cuz' this may the last time you hear the Boogie song!" I let go of the guy shirt. He stumbled into the wine bar. Somehow, yellow vampire bats followed me here to Las Vegas and they sung as well.
"Whoa!" I sung. The bats joined in the party.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
"I'm the Bogeyman!" I stuck out my snake tounge. The guy sat up looking angry. He whistled for his gang.
"Yes Hank?" The gang asked in unison.
"Kill that guy!" Hank pointed at me. I got up and ran towards a nearby pot. I didn't know where it came from, but it looked like someone was making stew. I smiled evilly.
"Well if I'm feeling antsy and there's nothing much to do, I might just cook a special batch of snake and spider stew." I put some of my bugs and snakes in the pot. A few men fainted from the smell.
"And don't you know one thing that will make it oh so nice?" I sang, grabbing one of the men and putting him into the pot, "A roly-poly gang member to add a little spice!"
"Whoa oh!" Bats sang out.
"Oh yeah!" I danced to my own beat.
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh oh!"
"Whoa!"
"Uh huh, I'm the Oogie BoogieMan!" I waved to the gang as they ran for their young lives. I drank the stew that I just made whole. The jazz band clapped for me.
"Nice song!" The pianist gave me a high-five.
"Right back at ya! Can I have some stuff before I leave?" I asked.
"Sure, since you got rid of that troublesome gang."
"I'll need those neon lights, a pool table, a roulette wheel and other things you can come up with." I looked at the stuff around me. I have a lot of decorating to do in my home. Wait till Jack sees it!
