Meanwhile, "Shh!" Roseidous whispered.
"No--you shh!--shh'ing makes a louder noise than whispering, you know." Tyrael retorted. "Well, shh!" Roseidous pouted. "Whatever" Tyrael whispered, as he crept along the side of the wall. The target was the girls bathroom-- the goal, two showering Junior female Tri-Leaders. "So...are you sure Tails and Holli won't mind if we sneak in the bathroom?" Roser asked Ty. "Um..positive...just make sure to be really quiet and act like a towel." "A towel?" Roseidous looked doubtful. "Yes- a towel. Towels are found in bathrooms, so if we act towelish, we will be camouflaged" "Oh-- interesting logic." "Hey, who's the brains in this operation?" "Operation? You mean the game? Is THAT what you got me for Christmas? Oooh- I love you Ty." Roseidous paused as Tyrael stared at him, confused, "I mean, I loath you. Yes, I loath you." *** "Ty and Roser are outside the door aren't they?" Tails asked, brushing the cranberry sauce from her hair. Holli put her ear against the door and heard the boys whispering "Yep- and they are trying to see us naked." "Pervs." "Wanna play a trick?" "Oooh-- whatever do you mean?" Tails grinned. Holli pulled two blow up dolls from her bag."Meet Samantha and Susan-- Roser's backup dolls. I stole them from his lockbox." "So-- Sally wasn't the only one?" "Nope-- Roser is a blowup doll pimp." "Poor Sally- she must be heartbroken.." Holli stared. "She's a doll..." "Oh, right." "So anyway, turn on the shower, and we can put these dolls in there. The fog should be cloudy enough so the boys will think the dolls are us." "And we can get Billy Jo to video tape the entire thing." Tails grinned. *** "Ahhhhhhh!!!!!" Roseidous and Tyrael screamed as they ran, naked, from the bathroom. Holli and Tails, shielded thier eyes as they laughed hysterically. The boys ran swiftly into the kitchen, closely followed by Billy Jo and the two girls. There, they met up with the rest of the Tri-Leader gang as they desperately tried to cover themselves with various utensils and glassware. "Well...I am never using those plates ever again." Ann said, between laughs. Roser and Ty sulked as they walked back towards their room. "Wait- boys-- it's time for presents!" Roses called. "And eggnog!" Ann added. Roseidous ran back into the room as Ty went to get changed. He was still naked. Beneath the mistletoe. Next to Murry, who had just floated in. Murry paused and inspected the scene--but upon seeing the mistletoe, swiftly floated away. He later returned with a loincloth. "You *@$!^, put this %*&(^% cloth on!" "Yes'sum" Roser said as he bent over to put the loincloth on. Various noises of disgust were heard-- until someone torpedoed a blob of mashed potatoes towards him. No one knew who it was--- but Roser screamed like a little girl when the potatos hit him in the ear. He stood up, Murry floated over and hit him in the face, then left the room. "What was that for?" Roseidous yelled after him. "That was your kiss, you @#$% (*%$@!! Be glad I wasn't angry!" Murry yelled back. "Whoa-- what happened in here..." Tyrael asked, pointing to the potatoes still in Rosey's ear. "Nothing, let's just go open presents. Stan said he was starting a fire." Roses said. "Not a "special" fire?" Ann asked. "Ooooh! Fire!!" Holli shouted, running to the common room. "I wanna light the match!" Tails said, running after her. "No, me!" Holli argued, sticking out her tongue. Everyone gathered in the room around the fireplace, near the tree. "This should be good." Stan told them. "Just don't blow up my moonbase." Ann warned. "No, I just made it so that the fire will be all different colors." "Oh, okay then." Roses said. Tails and Holli were grinning. Roses wasn't sure whether it was because they had done something bad, they were excited about the fire, or both. Stan turned on his special machine and the fire started to glow green, then change slowly to blue. "Did anyone bring the eggnog?" Tyrael asked. "Of course I did!" Ann said, passing around the glasses. Roseidous sniffed his suspiciously. "Did you put that stuff from the party in it?" "No, I didn't." Ann answered honestly. But she forgot to mention that she put something new in it. "Mmm, this is good Ann," Holli giggled. Soon, Tails began giggling along with her-- neither of them knew why. Roseidous drank his whole glass quickly. "Can I have some more?" "Sure." Ann said, smiling evilly. "It must be good." "It's better than last year's. What did you do differently?" "Well---" "Hey, presents!" Tails interrupted. "I wanna pass them out!" She walked over to the tree. The associates all received presents from the Tri-Leaders as a group, as well as exchanging presents amongst themselves. They moved away from the tree and the Tri-Leaders, remembering all too well what had happened with the presents last year. "I hope I got an elephant." Holli said. "An elephant?" Tyrael asked. "Well--why not?" "Here's the first gift...for Tyrael!" Tails announced. "Oooh!" Tyrael grinned as he opened the present. He quickly hid it behind his back, his smile growing wider and wider. "Well- what is it?" Roses asked. "Just what I wanted." "Which was...?" "An eraser" Tyrael announced, holding the eraser up high. "Tyrael...what's that other thing behind your back?" "Eh...um...nothing..." he answered, his voice cracking several times. "Who's it from?" Ann asked. "Um...Tails." "Oh." "Anyway- next present is for...Ann!" Tails handed a large box to Ann. Inside the large box was one piece of paper. "It's a gift certificate for Radio Shack! Yay! New electronic stuff for me! I'm gonna get a--wait a minute." "What?" Holli asked. "Roseidous!" Ann yelled. "I didn't do it." "Yes you did! You put your name on this where my name was supposed to go!" "I did?" "Yes! Now you have to go get this changed! As soon as we get back! Or I might be angry!" "Yes ma'am." Tails emerged from under the tree again. "This one's Holli's." Holli ripped off the paper quickly. "Duct tape! Matches! And a pen? Tyrael! You are so cheap." she complained. "Sorry, I thought you'd appreciate the matches." "And the duct tape. I had to help him pick that out." Tails grinned, going back for the next present. "But the pen was all my idea." he said proudly. Roseidous gave him a high-five. "Here's Roses' present." Tails handed it to her. Roses started laughing hysterically as she looked in the box. She pulled out a stapler, still laughing. Ann was laughing, too. "I don't get it." Roseidous said, confused. In fact, everyone looked confused. "It's sort of an inside joke." Roses said, trying to catch her breath. "Oh." "This one's mine!" Tails said happily, opening her present from Holli. "New handcuffs and a pyrotechnic book! Thanks!" Tyrael turned pale, looking nervously from the handcuffs to the book and back again. "Me, me, me!" Roseidous said. He grabbed the last present under the tree. "My turn!" Inside the box from Roses were fluffy pink bunny slippers. "Aww, how cu--- er, i mean, MANLY, manly bunny slippers." He coughed and put them on the floor next to his chair. "I have an announcement." Tyrael stood up. "The rest of my gift to Tails and Holli can be found in my room, underneath the blanket on my bed." Tails and Holli slapped him. Roseidous stood up, blinking from the eggnog. "And the rest of the presents you all got for me can be found under MY blankets." Roses grabbed an ornament off of the tree and threw it at him. It exploded. As if that one explosion was a trigger, all of the ornaments on the tree began to explode one by one. Everyone screamed and ducked. Tails and Holli giggled. "I knew those explosives would come in handy." Tails whispered. "No!! My Collector's Edition John, Lord of Darkness (Dum Dum Duuum!!!) Ornament!" Murry screamed. "You all will pay for this!" He flew out of the room. The rest of the associates followed. The ornaments finally stopped exploding, the fire turned to its normal colors and the Tri-Leaders came out from behind the couch. "Bedtime?" Roses asked. "Bedtime!" Ann agreed. They sent everyone else to their rooms, climbed into their beds and went to sleep. Turn the Page |
