Twas the night before Thanksgiving, Lightning was up in Anthony's room playing Super Smash Bros. It was 12:24 AM. Grace came into the room.

Grace: Leigha, why are you still up? It's past midnight and tomorrow's Thanksgiving.

Lightning: I'm not gonna go to bed until I'm done playing video games. You can't tell me what to do.

Grace smacked Lightning in the face.

Grace: You do not speak to your mother like that! Now go to bed!

Lightning started crying and Grace went downstairs to talk to Diancie and the others.

Grace: Have you all decided if you're coming tomorrow or not?

Diancie: We're gonna come with you, do one little thing, and then leave.

Grace: If you're gonna come, why don't you just stay?

Diancie: Why would I celebrate a holiday I don't care about in The Lame House when I can do anything else?

Whatshername: Anyway, that small thing we're gonna do is talk to the one Loud who knows how to do magic and have her bring me back to life because I don't wanna be a ghost anymore.

Grace: So does this mean you're finally gonna tell your parents?

Whatshername: What part of "They said I deserved to die. I never want to see them again!" are you not getting?

Grace: Fair point. I imagine having to live with evil parents can't be too good.

Whatshername: Yeah, it's pretty bad.

Diancie: Speaking of evil parents, you don't seem to care that tomorrow's gonna be the first Thanksgiving since your son died. Are you like Whatshername's parents and think he deserved it?

Grace: Of course not. I've just been having a hard time mourning the loss of him because Leigha has been a total brat lately for some reason and you and your no good friends won't GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

Poipole: All of us are no good? Even Celebi?

Diancie: And where do you purpose we live?

Grace: I don't know. There are plenty of available houses in the world. Start looking for one.

Diancie: If I found one, how am I supposed to pay for it?

Grace: For the one billionth time. Get. A. Job! Now everyone in your Poké Balls or wherever it is you sleep so I can be alone and get making the cinnamon rolls over with.

Everybody but Grace and Whatshername went upstairs.

Whatshername: If you think I'm a Pokémon, I am going to beat you into a coma over and over again…once I'm not a ghost anymore and I can touch things again.

Grace: You're the reason I said "wherever it is you sleep."

Whatshername: Never mind then.

Whatshername went upstairs.

Marshadow: That was uncomfortable.

Celebi: I couldn't agree more, Marshy. I wish we were the ones reading this instead of the characters in it. Then we would get to skip ahead to tomorrow morning.

The Next Morning (Thanksgiving Day)

Grace went outside, leaving the door open.

Grace: Everybody out here!

All the members of Diancie's group came outside.

Grace: Let's see. Diancie, Celebi, Emolga, Whatshername, Marshadow, the new one.

Poipole: My name's…

Grace: Where's Leigha?

Whatshername: Inside, refusing to go, and wishing that you would call her her real name.

Grace: Leigha is her real name!

Grace stormed inside and slammed the door.

Whatshername: No respect for preferred names.

Emolga looked forward and saw Ken and Incineroar fighting each other.

Emolga: Yes! Two Thanksgivings that start out with a fight in a row! This is gonna be so much better than last year's!

Whatshername: What was last year's?

Emolga: A Caterpie and a Weedle were playing Chess.

Marshadow: That's not a fight.

Emolga: Exactly!

Emolga flew over to Ken and Incineroar to watch their battle up close.

Ken: SHORYUKEN!

Incineroar: Incineroar!

Suddenly, Piranha Plant jumped into the fight and KO'd both Ken and Incineroar with a Forward Smash. This scared Celebi, causing her to hide behind Diancie.

The Announcer: GAME! Piranha Plant WINS!

Emolga: That's it?! Come on! How am I supposed to be thankful for anything when I can't even get some good action?!

Poipole: Chill out, Molgz.

Whatshername: After I'm brought back to life, I'll have a Smash Bros. match with someone.

?: Can I get in on that?

The person who said that was Purple Villager.

Villager: I can't believe I have to resort to playing in unofficial matches, but this is my only option now. So does one of the other Villagers, but she seems okay with it.

Diancie: What are you talking about?

Villager: Other Green Girl Villager and I got cut and replaced with some lookalikes.

Emolga: How could they do that? What happened to "Everyone Is Here?"

Villager: I'm not a part of "Everyone" because in the universe Sakurai makes the game in, all 8 of us Villagers are considered the same character. I still see it as bologna for now, but I'll get over it. The two new Villagers seem nice.

Emolga: But still. How could Sakurai get rid of the guy who invented Translation Pills?

Villager: I only invented them in my universe. There are plenty of other universes where someone else invented them.

Emolga: Well, that's true.

Whatshername: Villager, you can have a match with me if you know what my moveset is.

Villager: One where your Splat Roller is the primary weapon, unlike the moveset that has a wide variety of weapons the official Smash Inklings use.

Whatshername: That's right! Thank you! I'll call you later when I'm no longer a ghost.

Villager: Sounds good. See you then.

Villager left.

Grace came out of the house carrying two Christmas presents and the cinnamon rolls.

Grace: Leigha's gonna stay here. Are any of you willing to babysit?

Marshadow raised his hand and then he went inside with Celebi.

Diancie: Wait! Wait!

Diancie went inside after Celebi.

Poipole: Why are you letting her stay here?

Grace: I'm not letting her, I'm making her.

Whatshername: Is she really being that bad?

Grace: Yes! I have no idea what's gotten into her, but no matter what I said, she just screamed at me. She cannot be around other people right now.

Diancie and Celebi came back out. Celebi had a huge frown on her face.

Grace: Are you making Celebi come with you?

Diancie: Well, I'd just stay here, but I wanna see Whatshername get unghostified.

Grace: Why do you think it's necessary that you and Celebi be together all the time?

Diancie: Not all the time. Just when she and Marshadow would otherwise be alone together without me there to moderate them. If they are, they might do something that makes them officially boyfriend and girlfriend. I CAN'T let that happen!

Grace: Yes you can! You do not get to decide what Celebi can and can't do.

Diancie: The sky is yellow. See? I can say something untrue too.

Grace: If you're really Celebi's best friend, you wouldn't boss her around and control her life like this.

Diancie: Say that to me again when you have a best friend you're worried might betray you for some stupid boy.

Celebi: Celebi, celb celb celbi cel bi bi, Celebi bi bi celb celb Celebi bi bi celb celb.

Diancie: …..Oh, I guess you're right. You can stay here. Just please promise me you won't stop being my friend.

Celebi: Celb bi bi celb celb celb.

Diancie: Good.

Celebi went back inside.

Grace: What did she say?

Diancie: She said "Of course I promise that."

Grace: Before that.

Diancie: She said that if I'm really her best friend, I wouldn't boss her around and control her life like this.

Grace: But that's exactly what I…!...Why am I even bothering? Let's just go.
