Absol-"*Eve."
W-why you-GET OVER HERE!
Absol-"No, you are not worthy of me and Leaf."
Leaf-"Don't drag me into this!"
I'm perfectly worthy. I CREATED YOU.
Leaf and Absol-Don't care.
You're corrupting Leaf, Absol.
Moving on!
It's Christmas Eve, and stuff, we do things, tomorrow, we get pree-seeeenttsssss!
And we read Christmas-themed faaaannnffiiiiiiiiicccs!
Today CloudClan(Actually, not really, not CloudClan that much) Team Crystal, Silverflames(Serena and Shayla), and Jay and Arceus will be preparing for tomorrow, when they will get presents (Again, not CloudClan). Tomorrow I'll put a chapter on their Christmas mornings.
I wish everyone a happy holidays, and I hope the year has been good for you. Special thanks to Dranicus101 and Jaegothis for being awesome, and Quilava's Storybook as well, because you all are the reason I've continued all my stories. Very Special thanks to Dranicus101, you were my first reviewer and you made me confident to keep Orbs of Life going.
(Please do not flame for any traditional/holiday/celebrational reasons. I don't want to upset anyone if they celebrate something different, I just wanted to write a Xmas fanfic)
Without further ado, let the holidays begin!
"OMG GUYS ITS CHRISTMAS!" Leaf screamed. "QUICK GET THE SANTA TRACKER! GET DA MISTLETOES! GEEET DUNKED ON!"
Blaze and Zephyr stared at her.
"SANTA WILL COME ANY SECOND!" Leaf was going hysterical. She jumped out of bed and turned on Christmas music.
Here comes Santa Clause, Here comes Santa Clause, right down Azure Town lane….
"OMG HE'S COMING! HE'S ON AZURE TOWN LANE!" Leaf kept screaming. She looked outside, but it was too dark to make anything out. "Oh."
"It's one AM in the morning." Blaze groaned, rubbing his eyes. "Can we go back to sleep now?"
"NO!" Leaf yelled. "We have to prepare! Also is this being taken place in present time or future time?"
"I'm not sure." Blaze said. "Wait, hold on, I can see you guys normally, so I guess present time."
"Ok." Leaf said. "But let's make this during Shadows because OoL is boring."
"NU!" Blaze screamed as a bunch of Shadow Pokemon ran inside and started chasing him. A zangoose started swiping at the charmander's face. "PUT IT BACK TO OOL!"
Leaf clapped her paws, and the Shadow Pokemon disappeared. Blaze didn't know this and kept running away.
Then she turned to Zephyr, who had fallen asleep standing. "Zephyr! WAKE UP!"
Zephyr blinked. "What's a plural verb?" he asked groggily.
"I dunno." Leaf shrugged one shoulder. "Now get up so we can make cookies for Santa."
Zephyr perked up. "SAAAAAAAAAAAANTAAAAAAAAAAA, OH MY ARCEUS!" He screamed, running around in circles. He jumped into the bathroom and flushed himself down the toilet.
Absol walking carrying Blaze by the scruff of his neck. "You dropped this," She said, dropping the charmander at Leaf's feet.
"I can walk, you know." Blaze said, getting up.
"I don't care." Absol said, stretching. "So care to explain why you're up at ONE O CLOCK IN TH MORNING SCREAMING LIKE HOOLIGANS?"
Leaf shrugged. "It's Christmas Eve. We have to get ready for Santa to come!"
Blaze and Absol looked at each other.
"I'll do it." Absol said, looking kind of sad.
"Go easy on her." Blaze muttered, patting Leaf on the back and walking into the living room. Oh yeah, they're in a house now.
"What?" Leaf asked, confused. "What are you going to do?"
Absol sighed. "Your whole life has been a lie." she said.
Leaf's eyes went wide as Absol explained the terrible secret. "NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Five minutes later, Leaf crawled out the door. "I don't have the will to live anymore." she sighed, rubbing her eyes.
Absol trotted out. "If you guys don't mind, I'm supposed to be evil now."
"It's summer in Orbs of Life." Leaf suggested.
Absol blinked. "So? What does that have to do with anything?"
Suddenly Zephyr shot out of the toilet. "DON'T EAT TWENTY POUNDS OF RAW SEWAGE!" He screamed, staggering around them as he hummed Row, row, row your boat under his breath.
"Go flush yourself down the toilet." Blaze said, pushing Zephyr away. "This is a very serious conversation for adults only."
"KayKay!" Zephyr said happily. "But wait, we're all kids!"
"Not me!" Absol snapped.
"Minus Absol."
"Who is leaving to prevent further spoilers. Bye."
"WAIT DON'T GO!" Leaf screamed as Absol walked out the door. "NOOOOOOOO!"
"I'm going back to bed." Blaze muttered, heading towards the bedroom.
"Same." Zephyr said.
Leaf shrugged. "Sure. It's 1:17 AM, I guess we can sleep."
It was a harsh, cold Leaf-Bare very late/early morning night, past moonhigh, and all the apprentices were huddled close together….all but Pebblepaw and Weedpaw, who were in the medicine cats' den with greencough...
Or…they were supposed to be….
"EVENINGPAW IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE OH MY STARCLAN!" Pebblepaw screamed in Eveningpaw's ear.
"What are you doing here?" Eveningpaw asked sleepily, lifting her head. "I thought you had greencough."
"Oh yeah." Pebblepaw collapsed to the ground, coughing and retching and moaning.
"Ew." Barkpaw flinched away, awake. "What's she doing? Why is she throwing up everywhere?"
"I'm not throwing up!" Pebblepaw snapped, her voice raspy. "I'm just coughing!" She burst into more coughing fits.
Barkpaw snorted.
"Did Pebblepaw sneak in here again?" Rubblepaw asked, stretching. He looked annoyed rather than surprised and angry.
"I call it 'visiting.'" Pebblepaw meowed smartly, coughing between breaths.
Mosspaw woke up. "STARCLAN WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET INFECTED!" he shouted, flinching away from Pebblepaw, who was wheezing. "EVENINGPAW!"
Eveningpaw grabbed her sister by the tale and started dragging the fluffy black-and-white apprentice back to Mousewhisker's den.
"Don't drag me!" Pebblepaw complained, shaking snow off her fur. She started coughing more.
"Go to sleep before you get worse." Eveningpaw mewed. "It's really early in the morning. Past moonhigh."
Pebblepaw groaned loudly, but she slunk into the Medicine cat Den.
Eveningpaw went back to the Apprentices' Den.
"Hey." Mosspaw muttered.
"Hi." Eveningpaw nodded to him and curled up next to the green tom.
"Ooh, look, Mosspaw's found a mate!" Rosepaw taunted, sneering playfully at the two sleeping apprentices.
Mosspaw kicked her.
"Good Mornin', Shayla!" Jeffery said, nodding to the silver-blue eevee as she padded into the room.
"Hi, Jeffery!" Shayla said cheerily. The house was cozy, but outside everything was a fluffy blur of white.
"Whoa, it's snowing pretty bad outside!" Shayla said. She ran back into her room and came out wearing these kawaii paw-mittens, a light blue hat, and a light blue-and-purple scarf.
"Nice outfit." Jeffery commented. He himself was wearing a dark green plain scarf, and he was holding a snow shovel. "You gonna go play in the snow with yer friends? You've gotten quite close with that fennekin, Serena, right?"
"Yeah." Shayla agreed. She opened the door and a huge gust of icy wind blew her backwards. "Oooooooh, it's cold! Well, bye!"
"See ya." Jeffery called as she ran out the door.
When Shayla got outside, she was hit by a cold blast of wind. "Aaaah, this place is freezing!" she muttered, shivering. "Serena?"
The yellow fennekin ran outside, wearing an orange-and-pink scarf and hat with holes for her huge ears.
"CHILD, YOU COME BACK HERE AND HELP ME SHOVEL THIS SNOW!" Axel roared after her.
"NO!" Serena shouted defiantly. "And call me by my name for once, Pops!" Serena turned to Shayla. "Hi, Shayla! Let's make a Snowemon!(Snowman)
"Okay!" Shayla said. The two of them strolled through the snowy town, greeting the townsfolk, until they made it to the hill with the big tree.
"Hey!" Serena said, squinting. "I think somebody's playing there!"
Shayla looked. "It's Trevor! And Roy!"
The Pancham and Shelmet were building a Snowemon right in the middle of the hill, where Serena and Shayla usually sat.
"Hey, guys!" Serena shouted cheerfully, running up to them. "You guys wanna play?"
"Ugh!" Trevor snorted, jumping away. "Get away, you-you!"
Serena snickered. "What's up?"
"Building a Snowemon!" Roy said. "Hey, where's your dumb friend?"
"Shayla's not dumb!" Serena snapped.
Shayla jumped through the thick snow to stand next to Serena. "…Hi?"
"Yo." Trevor sneered, crossing his arms. The Pancham was wearing a dark green scarf with dark blue tips. Roy wasn't wearing anything besides a thin red hat-thing.
"We're gonna build a Snowemon, too!" Serena said, wagging her fluffy tail in excitement. "It's going to be the best Snowemon ever!"
"Ha! In your dreams!" Trever scoffed. "We have the best Snoweman ever!"
Serena glared at him, then at what they were building, and back. "That's just a lump of snow."
Trevor and Roy sweatdropped, because Serena was right-It was just a lump of snow.
"W-well, er, we haven't gotten started yet!" Roy shot back, looking kind of embarrassed.
"Whoever builds the best Snoweman wins!" Serena challenged, jumping in the air and spreading her paws.
"Wins what?" Roy asked.
"Wins two hot chocolates, payed for by the losers." Shayla decided.
Trevor considered it for a second. "Deal."
They shook on it.
"CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS!" Arceus sang in a loud, off-key, high-pitched voice. "DA SNOW'S A-FALLIN DOOO-OOOWWWWN! CHRRIIIIISSSTTMMAAAAAS, I'MA A-WATCHIN IT-A A-FAAAAAALLLL! CHRIS-"
Jay groaned.
Arceus, miraculously, took the hint. Unmiraculously, thought Jay wanted him to switch to another song.
"CHRIIIIIIISSSTTMAAAASSS TIIIIIIIIIIM, IS HAAAR!" Arceus sang loudly. The usual pleasant song was turned into some kind of terrible jig as Arceus rewrote the words to the Charlie Brown Classic.
"That's enough." Jay snapped, shaking his blue-and-black pelt with irritation. "Get out of my room."
"Nu!" Arceus screamed. "I wanna do a secret santa!"
"Oh, um, sure." Jay said. "Do you know how it works?"
"Um, Jay, OF COURSE I DO!"
"Okay, we have a few hours-" Arceus cut Jay off.
"I'll be your secret santa, and you'll be mine." Arceus said. "I'm going to buy you an Xbox, and you are going to buy me some temmie flakes."
"That's not how it works." Jay muttered. "You just ruined it." And to think I could've gotten an Xbox! "Wait, what are temmie flakes?"
Arceus launched into singing.
"Temmie Flakes!
An Original Break-fast!
TEMMIE FLAKES!
They're so good you can't taste it!
TEMMIE FLAKES!
Don't for-get to di-gest it!
Temmie flakes in your mouth!
TEMMIE FLAAAAAAAKKKES!
(Part of a complete breakfast!)
ERSDTFYUYGIHOJRSEKOJyvgxtrctyguhux!"
(For those non-undertalers Temmie Flakes are cereal boxes filled with cut-up construction paper)
"That was awkward." Jay said once Arceus finished.
"It's supposed to be awkward." Arceus responded.
"Really?"
"Well, no."
"Oh."
"Did you make cookies?" Arceus asked, changing the subject.
"Nope. Why?"
"It's Christmas Eve!" Arceus looked terrified. "Quick, go get some cookies."
"No." Arceus does this kind of stuff? Sometimes I wonder if he's really a million years old…maybe he's a big five-year-old...
"I HAVE EYELAZERS, JAY!"
"Okay, okay!" Jay said, sweatdropping as Arceus's eyes began to glow. He ran into the kitchen, grabbed a couple of cookies and piled them on a plate, filled a glass with milk, and carried them upstairs. "Arceus, I-" Jay stopped. Arceus wasn't in his room anymore.
"Arceus?" Jay called, getting worried, because he might destroy their house again. Or again again. Or-he'd destroyed their house quite a few times.
"Downstairs!"
Sighing, Jay carried the cookies and milk into the living room. Arceus was sitting next to the Christmas Tree.
"Put them near the fireplace, so when Santa comes down the chimney, he'll eat them!" Arceus instructed.
Jay sighed again and put the cookies on the table. "We don't have a chimney."
Arceus blasted a hole through the wall, ran to RandomReasonsToBuyFurnitureDepot, and came back with a brick chimney and full-working old-fashioned fireplace, which he fitted into the hole in the wall. Somehow it fit perfectly.
"Mom's always wanted a fireplace." Jay said, shrugging. He took out a piece of paper. "Add that to 'list of times Arceus has damaged or destroyed the house'…"
"Now put the cookies! And milk!" Arceus said eagerly, not noticing or possibly not caring about the list.
Jay did what he was told.
"LET'S SLEEP!" Arceus screamed. "SANTA WILL BE MAD IF WE DON'T SLEEP!"
"It's five-o-clock!" Jay whined.
"Okay, let's watch a movie." Arceus suggested, putting on a nightcap.
"That doesn't sound too bad." Jay thought about it. "Well, sure, that's fine."
"CLOSE UR EYES!" Arceus sounded very eager and excited, like a little kid. "I want it to be a surprise for you!"
Jay put his paws over his eyes and waited, feeling exasperated.
"OPEN!"
Music blared from the TV, and an animated cartoon was playing. It was-
Oh.
It was the Dora the Explorer Christmas Special.
…Great.
(A/N): That's all, as you can see there's some spoilers and stuff, like the fact that IT'S ALWAYS SUMMER IN PSMD so I made it winter for once.
Everybody have a nice Christmas Eve and a happy holidays, I will see you tomorrow!
