Hey guys! I got kinda busy yesterday and I didn't have time to post, so my Christmas Eve and Christmas Day stories are gonna be off by one day. Bear with me. Actually, I might post the Christmas Day story later today.

The $$60,000,000,000 Santa Christmas Eve --kitchen-- Gumdrop: (singing) “It’s Christmas at ground zero There’s music in the air The sleigh bells are ringin’ And the carolers are singin’ While the air-raid sirens blare It’s Christmas at ground zero The button has been pressed The radio just let us know That this is not a test” (jumps onto Justin) Hey! Justin: What? Gumdrop: Will you take me to see Santa? Justin: No way. I don’t go anywhere near the mall after the 20th. It’s suicide! Kanasuki: Santa? (grabs his arm) Artukei-sama, I want to go see Santa! Justin: Um... Kanasuki-chan, it’s almost impossible to get into the mall at this time. Kanasuki: But Artukei-samaaaaaaa. (stares at him with puppy-dog eyes, which is really ironic since she’s a cat-girl) Justin: Oh man. Kanasuki, please don’t give me those eyes. The last thing I want to do on Christmas Eve is get stuck in mall traffic. Felicia: If you’re worried about traffic, Artukei, there is another way. Justin: Huh? Felicia: Why don’t you take the subway? There’s a station right inside the mall. Justin: Really? That might work. There’s a station just a few blocks from our neighborhood. OK, Kanasuki-chan. Go get your coat. Kanasuki: ^_^ YAY! (runs off) Justin: Quick thinking, Felicia. I didn’t know the mall had subway access. Felicia: And how long have you lived here? Justin: I don’t get out and go to the mall much. Gumdrop: You don’t get out, period. Justin: Urusai! --the mall-- Santa: HOHOHO! Justin: (watching from the side as Gumdrop and Kanasuki wait in line to see Santa) Man, God bless mall Santas. They have to put up with whiny kids all day long. And they do it all out of the goodness of their hearts. God bless’em. And God bless anybody who puts up with our shenanigans. I know how hard it can be. *sigh* Just watching it really gets you into the Christmas spirit. Still.... this year’s Santa looks kinda skinny. Gumdrop: (sits on Santa’s lap) Santa: Hohoho! And what do you want for Christmas this year, little one? Gumdrop: I want.... the TRUTH! (pulls down his fake beard) Santa: (quickly pulls it back on) Hoho, little boy. It’s not nice to pull on Santa’s beard. Gumdrop: Come off it. I know you’re not the real Santa. Justin: Aw frak. Not again. Gumdrop: (tugs at his beard some more) C’mon! Come clean! Santa: (pulling on the other end, breaking character) Hey kid, knock it off. Gumdrop: Imposter! Know the truth and the truth shall set yee free! Justin: GUMDROP GREGORY CAT!! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR.... 0.0 huh? (with his beard slipping, Justin actually recognizes the man in the Santa suit) Holy Miyazaki. It can’t be. later... Justin: (sitting in the food court with Gumdrop, Kanasuki, and the Santa) I humbly apologize for the actions of my friend Mr. Vash. He was born with a major glitch. Vash: (with the beard hanging around his neck) It’s OK. I’m just glad none of the other kids could see. So, you’re Artukei. DJ and Ozzy mentioned you. But how’d you know who I was? Justin: Huh? Oh.... Deej and Jonesy talk about you all the time. It’s Vash the Stampede! VASH THE STAMPEDE!! Oh man, I’m totally wiggin’ out! What’re you doing here in Metrolex? Vash: I come here every year. (takes a bite of the donut on his plate) Mmmmm. This place makes the best gingerbread donuts. Justin: Maybe I should be more specific. What are you doing playing Santa? Vash: Well, I came down here first thing in the morning to get a few dozen fresh like I usually do, and I overheard that the man who was supposed to come in and be Santa today had gotten sick. So I volunteered to step in. Justin: Man, that is so Vash. God bless you, Vash. You’re a better man than I am. Gumdrop: I don’t think so. Justin: (flattered) R... really? Gumdrop: You bet. Justin: Wow. Gumdrop: Who ever heard of a skinny Santa? You, however, (taps Justin’s belly) would do much better. Justin: Oh, c’mon. We both know I am not that fat. I’ve just got a little junk in the front, that’s all. Gumdrop: Yeah. Junk in the front... and on the sides. Justin: Hey. With a name like “love handles”, they can’t be all bad. Kanasuki: So, you’ll give my list to the real Santa? Vash: I most certainly will, Kanasuki. Kanasuki: ^_^ Vash: (looks at his watch) 0_0 Yikes! I gotta get back to work in two minutes. Justin: Well it was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Vash. (shakes his hand) Vash: Same here. Where do you live? Justin: 145 Kennedy St SW. Vash: Kennedy, huh? Nice. I might stop by sometime. Justin: Do that. Anytime. Our door’s always open. Vash: (gets up) Catch you later, Artukei. (puts the beard back on) HOHOHO! Merry Christmas to all of you. (walks away) Hohoho! Justin: And a merry Christmas to you too..... Santa Vash. later... --Artukei’s house-- Justin: We’re back! Aisha: Hi guys! How was it? Justin: Aisha. You are not going to believe who we met!
