I'm getting' nothing for Christmas by Smash Mouth and Rosie O' Donnell (oh yeah, I went there)
Gazzy's POV
"You're not going to get anything for Christmas if you keep acting out, Gazzy," Angel told me after I had rearranged Iggy's furniture in his room.
I rolled my eyes and took another bite of my PB&J sandwich. "Okay Angel," I said. I couldn't tell her that Santa wasn't real. It would ruin her childhood dream of becoming an elf in the North Pole with all the penguins.
"No, I'm serious, Gazzy. Even if Santa's not real, Dr. M and Max won't get you anything. I heard Fang and Max talking about all the bad things you have been doing this year," Angel tried again. I resisted the urge to punch her for being a goody-two shoe.
"Oh yeah? What have I done that's so horrible this year?" I asked sarcastically. Angel cleared her throat and I groaned knowing that she was actually about to list everything.
"First, you broke your new wiffle bat on Iggy's head. He didn't talk to you for a week," Angel said.
Max walked in and started making herself a bowl of soup.
"Oh yeah, and you put a frog in my bed. It was nasty," Angel told me. Max stifled laughter.
"Technically it was a toad," I corrected Angel. She just rolled her eyes and continued.
"What about spilling that ink on my carpet in my room?" Max chimed in. Angel nodded her way and smirked at me, letting me know that I was going to lose this fight.
"No way. Iggy gave me the ink," I defended myself. Max smirked and rolled her eyes, still not looking at neither Angel nor me.
Iggy, ironically, walked in and bumped Max on the head with uncanny accuracy.
"Who said you could come into my kitchen and start making things?" he asked Max rhetorically. "Get out before you blow something up. Thank God Fang isn't in here, otherwise you'd blow-"
"Enough! There are kids in here," Max told him, gesturing to me and Angel. Iggy snorted.
"They've heard it all before," Iggy said.
"Anyways, what about the time you made Nudge eat that bug? Hmm?" Angel pointed out, continuing our prior conversation.
Iggy laughed. "Oh yeah, I remember that! Nudge wouldn't eat anything for a week for fear that the bug was still alive and it would crawl back up her throat," he said. "Wait, are we talking about bad things that the Gasman has done?"
"Yeah, but only bad things he's done this year," Angel explained. Iggy nodded in understanding ad got a faraway look on his face.
"Did you mention when he-"
"Yeah, that was the first thing we mentioned," Angel said sweetly. Iggy glared at her.
"Sometimes you're just annoying with that mind-reading power," he said, half-joking, half-serious. Angel stuck her tongue out at him. "Oh, real mature."
"Oh! I have another one! What about the time he used a penny slug to buy a pack of gum?" Max suggested. I shot her a glare and she glared back. She won, like always.
"What's a 'penny slug,' Max?" Angel asked innocently.
"A counterfeit penny. You know, a not-real penny," Max tried to explain to her.
"The real crime there was that the gum was only a cent. It was horrible, too," I told her. She smiled and rolled her eyes. Was there some kind of eye-rolling epidemic going around? Seemed like it. In the headlines tomorrow it would say 'E1R1: the new H1N1 that rolls your eyes!'
"I told you, Gazzy! You're getting nothing for Christmas. Plain and simple," Angel followed up.
"I'm going to get something for Christmas," I snapped.
"No you're not because Max and Fang are mad at you all the time. And when they're mad, you don't get anything!" Angel snapped back.
"Guys, guys! No fighting at lunchtime! Not when I'm hungry!" Max said.
"Whatever," I said.
"What about the time that Gaz put the tack on Ella's chair when she was trying to teach us stuff?" Iggy suggested. I shot him a glaring look but he continued. "And then there was that time when he tied a knot in Angel's hair that took us a week to get out. That was torture."
"Oo! Are we talking about bad stuff Gazzy's done?" Nudge walked in asking.
"Yep, got any?" I said, venom coursing through the words.
Nudge coiled back a bit but retaliated. "Remember the time when he tried to dance outside and stepped all over Max's garden and ruined her plants?" Nudge said, shooting me a smug grin.
"He tore his pants climbing a tree once," Fang chimed in, coming into the kitchen. Iggy shot a smirk at Max and she glared back at him.
"Or when he filled the sugar bowl with ants and Iggy didn't know the difference so he put them in the cookies and Max ate one and barfed?" Ella said, stepping into the kitchen and sitting next to me. She ruffled my hair and I shied away from her.
"Okay, fine! I get it! I'm not going to get anything for Christmas!" I snapped, a sour look crossing my face.
"Would you say that you learned your lesson for next year?" Max asked, a smirk planted on her face. She and Fang shared a look and Fang nodded. Max smiled a real smile, then.
"Yes, yes! I've learned my lesson. No more pranks!" I caved in. I'm so weak…
"Yes, you are," Angel replied to my thought. She smiled angelically and left the room. Everyone looked at me, wondering what I had thought. I huffed and went outside for a fly.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas I broke my bat on Johnny's head; I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug; CHORUS I put a tack on teacher's chair; CHORUS So you better be good whatever you do
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister's bed;
Somebody snitched on me.
I made Tommy eat a bug;
Bought some gum with a penny slug;
Somebody snitched on me.
Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
Somebody snitched on me.
I tied a knot in Suzy's hair;
Somebody snitched on me.
I did a dance on Mommy's plant.
Climbed a tree and tore my pants.
Filled that sugar bowl with ants;
Somebody snitched on me.
Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you,
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas.
So, I was thinking about Christmas cos it's snowing outside and I heard this song. I have a version for Iggy as well, so I'll post that 2day 2.
Also, what are you guys doing for New Years? Anyone going to Times Square to see the ball drop? I always go a lighthouse to watch the sunrise, so that's where I'll be at six-ish in the morning. Yay.
