The Unsymmetrical Santa Claus
"Such symmetry!" Kid exclaimed at the sight of the huge Christmas tree that was set up at the front of the Shibusen tower. Liz and Patty followed from behind.
"The beauty, the art, the design…" the Shinigami's son sighed in awe at the beautiful decorations that hung on the Christmas ornament.
"It's such a jocund sight to see!" he exclaimed once again whilst prancing around the tree like a little child.
"Kid, could you please tone your voice down!" Liz hissed in his ear, "People are looking at you like you're crazy!"
But he wasn't paying attention to her bickering. He was staring at the figure of Santa Clause.
"Liz, Patty, do you not think that this huge chunk of an old git is unsymmetrical?" he inquired the Thompson sisters with a look of disgust.
The eldest of them groaned at his love for symmetry. Old habits die hard.
"Kid, Santa Clause is as fine as he is."
"This doesn't even have a symmetrical beard! They're all scattered and culry! And some hair is falling down on his eye! This is unsymmetrical!"
"Kid-"
"Liz, Patty, I need scissors! We're going to fix Santa Claus and save Christmas!" he pointed to the sky like some comic-book super hero.
"What does saving Christmas have to do with fixing Santa Claus's beard…?" Liz muttered the questions under her breathe.
"Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Santa Claus!" Patty chanted giddily as she jumped up and down, oblivious to the staring passersby.
30 hours later
"Ahh! Much better!" The Shinigami's son sighed in satisfaction. He had been trimming Santa Claus's beard for 3 minutes (he still doesn't know what time it was) while his weapons took a long nap, and didn't even bother waking up right now to see his masterpiece.
"Liz, Patty! I've finally finished it!" he shouted loud enough for them to wake up.
"Is it dinner time?" Liza asked with a sleepy voice.
"Santa Claus?" Patty added unnecessarily.
"Yes, Patty, I've fixed Santa Claus! You can now take a good look!" both Thompson sisters had different reactions.
Liz had her mouth hanging open with an odd look in her eyes. Patty on the other hand, was laughing like a maniac.
"What the hell did you do, Kidd?" Liz shrieked at the… masterpiece that was ogling at her.
"I fixed Santa Claus!" he jumped up and down happily. Patty joined him to continue her chant.
"Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Santa Claus!" the eldest sister slapped her forehead for the 10th time. She's going to have red spots on top of her eyes soon.
"What do you think Liz?" The Shinigami's son's eyes lingered on her now ill-tempered face.
"DEATH THE KID! YOU CUT OFF HIS BEARD, YOU MORON! HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SANTA CLAUS ANYMORE!" she screamed in his ear.
"What? I think he's quite handsome without one. Besides, beards are unsymmetrical."
"Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Santa Claus!"
"He's quite a charmer without a beard! See? He looks a lot younger!"
"Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Santa Claus!"
"His chin looks symmetrical as ever! I wonder why he has a beard… What do you think Liz?"
"Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Santa Claus!"
"Liz?"
"Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Santa Claus!"
In a few seconds, Kid was lying face down at the bottom of the stairs, bruise-faced.
