Boogey still grumbled a bit to himself.

"Those children get in the way a lot, don't they?" A voice remarked to Boogey.

"Darn right they do!" said Boogey. "It's like they're fleas I can't get off my back!"

"I'd like to deal with someone myself... Especially those Schwartz siblings..." The voice replied.

"And who, should I ask, is making things interesting after my lowly defeat?" Boogey demanded.

"Oh... You could call me... A friend..." Maleficent said as she soon emerged from the darkness.

"And what exactly would you want with those snoopy little brats, anyway?" asked Boogey.

"I feel very interested in that Schwartz boy," Maleficent smirked a bit. "He has a potential I think that he might reach."

"Hm... Whatever." Boogey shrugged.

"But I thought maybe you and I could help each other out a little to get even with the meddling children in our lives." Maleficent replied.

Boogey scratched his chin. "Well... Alright, makes sense to me. Whaddya need me to do?" he asked.

"Just listen to what I have to tell you, and we'll get along just fine." Maleficent grinned a bit.

"Consider it done." Boogey smiled back.

Maleficent and Boogey soon shook hands.

"They call me The Boogeyman." Boogey smirked.

"I am Maleficent," Maleficent smirked back. "Mistress of Evil."

"Glad to meet'cha!" Boogey replied. "I think this will be the start of something wonderfully EVIL!"

"Quite..." Maleficent smirked. "This might be very good. More than we might think it will be."

And so they both laughed evilly, as an unholy partnership had been forged on that night. Some people shook chills down their spine as they were unaware of the upcoming horrors that would come with that partnership.

The End
