The Christmas Spirit
a short little story by Brat Girl
The Animorphs were sitting around Jake's living room on Christmas Eve opening presents.
"Wow! Thanks Jake!" Cassie says to Jake.
Marco quickly rushes over and holds some mistletoe over their heads.
Cassie blushes as Jake leans over and kisses her cheek.
Marco then runs over to Rachel and puts the mistletoe above her head.
"Pucker up, Rachel!" he says and leans over to kiss her. Tobias quickly pulls a stocking over Marco's head, steals the mistletoe and kisses Rachel.
"What does all this mean?" Ax asks.
"Iff muffe..."Marco pulls the stocking off his head, "That no one ever wants to kiss me."
Everyone laughs and goes back to opening presents. A familiar Christmas song comes on the radio.
Marco smiles and turns down the volume so you slightly hear the music.
He then clears his throat and starts to sing.
"Visser three got ran over by a raindeer!
While going to the yeerk pool, late one Christmas Eve.
Now you may say there's no such thing as aliens, but me
and the other Animorphs believe."
"Hit it Jake!"
Jake smiles stands up and starts to sing the song again.
"Visser Three got ran over my a raindeer!
While going to the yeerk pool, late one Christmas Eve.
Now you may say there's no such thing as aliens, but me
and the other Animorphs believe."
Pretty soon all the animorphs start to join in, changing the words as they liked.
"Chapman got ran over by a John Deer!
While walking back from school, late one Christmas Eve.
Now you may say that'd I would never do that, but me
and my lawn mower believe."
Everyone, except Ax, starts laughing.
"I still don't understand! What does it all mean?" Ax asks, looking confused.
"It's just the Christmas spirit, Ax." Jake says smiling, "just the Christmas spirit."
