I've been so busy this week and I really wanted to do a Christmas post. Heck, I practically had to (you'll see what I mean). I had to pound this one out quickly last night. Hope you like! The Christmas Special J: (walking down the hall) Where’s Aisha? (looks around and notices a light from under his bedroom door) Eh? (walks over) ???: (behind the door) Meow. J: o.0 Huh? ???: Meow... meow... meow... J: *knock, knock* Aisha? A: Eek! Yes? J: I’m sorry to intrude, but... A: I’m fine! J: Uh... actually I... A: Yes, I’m sure! You don’t need to come in! J: Um....... OK. I just came to remind you that we’ll be leaving for Makoto’s in about a half hour. A: Oh! OK. J: ......... Aisha. A: Yes! J: I need to get in. A: Umm.... OK. Just.... give me a second! J: Alright. (leans against the wall, starts singing in his best baritone) “Veni, veni, Emanuel Captivum solvent Israel Qui gemit in exilio Privatus dei filio Garde, garde, Emanuel Na gemut prote Israel” Hmm. What gives? Is she wrapping presents or something? A: (walks out) It’s all yours. J: Hmm. No presesnts. Thanks. (walks in) No trimmings of wrapping paper or ribbon either. What was she doing in her that was so secret?........... Eh! Whatev! (Makoto’s apartment) All: (in the main room drinking tea and unwrapping presents) M: (unwraps a red scarf) Oh, how pretty! Thank you, Aisha! J: (hands a rather large present to Ozz) This one’s from me, buddy. O: (tears through the wrapping and uncovers a brand new pillow) Wheeeee! (squeezes the pillow) ^_^ J: You like it? I got it at Petsmart. O: (glares at Justin) Grrrrr! J: Not that that’s saying anything about you. O: ^_^ J: This one’s yours, Aisha. (hands her a flat rectangular box) A: (unwraps a jewelry case) What’s this? J: Open it. A: (opens the box) 0.0 *gasp* (sees a gold bracelet with star and musical note charms hanging from it and a matching gold necklace with a star pendant) It’s beautiful. J: I chose the stars and notes cause I thought they’d remind you... A: ....Of our first date. *hugs him* Oh, Justin! You’re so sweet! J: ^_^ A: (hands him a gift) Here! I got this for you. J: (unwraps a black suede jacket) Oh, sweet! Thanks Aisha! M: (hands Justin a gift) This one’s mine. J: Thanks Makoto. (unwrapps a binder) What’s this. M: It’s a catalog of some of my best recipes. J: (flips through the binder) Wow! This is really cool, Makoto-san. Arigato. M: ^_^ J: So, Makoto, what did you think of my gift? (I got her the DVD of “My Fair Lady.”) M: Oh, I love it! Thank you so much! How’d he know I liked musicals? J: Well, I actually have one more gift for you. M: Oro? A: ^_^ J: But I can’t give it to you until Monday. M: What? Why not? J: ...... (smiles) Because the realtor’s office is closed for the weekend. M: 0_0 Wha.... what are you saying? J: *laughs softly* C’mon. (stands up then helps Makoto up) Ozz! O: (blindfolds Makoto) M: What’s going on? J: We’re going for a little drive. (downtown Metrolex) J: (helps Makoto out of the car) Watch your step. M: Justin-san, what are you doing? J: (holding her hand) Just a little further. OK, Ozz. Now. O: (takes off the blindfold) M: *blink blink* What? What am I looking at? J: That. (points at an empty building across the street) M: I don’t see anything. J: Well,.... not yet. M: I don’t understand. J: That building right there. It’s yours...... or, it will be. M: ....... This is some kind of joke, right? J: Does this look like I’m joking? (pulls some keys out of his pocket) M: What are those? J: (runs across the street) A: (grabs Makoto’s arm) C’mon Makoto! (follows Justin) M: Whoa! J: (runs up to the door, puts his key in the lock) M: Justin, what are... J: (opens the door) Come on in! (feels along the wall and flips on the lights) M: 0_0 J: What do you think? A: Isn’t this great, Makoto? Now you can start that restaraunt! M: I...... I..... How did you... This is mine? J: Well, legally it’s mine. (reaches in his jacket) M: Huh? J: (pulls out some papers and a pen) It’s all ready to be turned over to you, Makoto. All it needs is your signature. M: (looks at the papers) ........ Justin..... I can’t believe..... how did you...? J: I bought it. All these papers need is your signature, we hand them over to the realtor on Monday, and it’s all yours. M: 0_0 You... you... you... bought.... how di.... where’d you get the money!?! J: Remember when I said that one of the first dimensions I visited was a medieval dimension? M: Huh? J: While I was there, I met this dragon. And you know how all dragons have a horde of gold? M: ........ J: Well, anyway, they do. This one dragon has THREE CAVES FULL of gold. M: ....... You stole it, didn’t you? J: *sigh* When are you going to trust me? (pulls a gold coin out of his pocket) M: 0_0 Is that...? J: Have a look. M: (grabs the coin) Oh, my gosh! It’s real! It’s.......... YOU STOLE GOLD FROM A DRAGON!?! J: Hey, he owed me. M: 0_0 Huh?! J: He and I have been on many adventures in the past. Many times where he’s saved my life, and I his. We’re very close friends. He promised me a share of his horde. How else can I not work in this city and still afford a house? M: Uh... J: One handfull paid for that house. And one more paid for this. M: I.... uh... (falls down) J: Makoto! M: (sits up) I’m OK. I.... I.... I don’t know what to say. J: (kneels down) Merry Christmas, Jinnai-san. M: (hugs him tight, starts to cry) Thank you, Justin. Thank you so much. A: Aww. O: *sniff* They said there’d be snow at Christmas They said there’d be peace on earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the virgin birth I remember one Christmas morning The winter’s light and a distant choir And the beat of a bell and that Christmas tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a silent night And they told me a fairy story Till I believed in the Israelites And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked to the sky with excited eyes Till I woke with a yawn at the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise We wish you a hopeful Christmas We wish you a brave new year All anguish, pain, and sorrow Lead your heart and let your road be clear They said there’ll be snow at Christmas They said there’ll be peace on earth “Hallelujah!” “Noel!” Be it heaven or hell The Christmas we get, we deserve Happy Holidays, everybody!
