DISCLAIMER: I don't own MR.
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly..."
"Why did we ever agree to this?" I murmured to Fang.
He smirked. "Because it's the holidays."
Holidays my foot! Nudge and Angel had dragged us into this. Oh, we need to learn all the holiday songs by Christmas! Yeah, right. So now the two were belting out off-tune 'Deck the Halls' lyrics for the rest of the Flock to learn.
"Fa la la la laa, la la, la laa..."
Gazzy frowned. "What's with all these 'fa laas?' We sound mental!"
Exactly!
"It's the spirit," Angel and Nudge both chorused.
"Tis the season to be jolly..."
"Um, what's to be jolly about?" Iggy interrupted. "We're on the run, with Flyboys chasing after us, and we're forced to learn stupid Christmas songs. I repeat, what's to be jolly about?" Good to know that I'm not the only one hating this.
Of course, Angel and Nudge : "It's part of the song!"
"Fa la la la laa, la la, la laa..."
"The 'fa laas' again," said Gazzy.
"Don we now our gay apparel..."
Everyone except the dutiful carolers (Nudge and Angel) burst out laughing.
"Gay... apparel..." Iggy snorted.
"I don't think I want any gay apparel for Christmas." Gazzy, of course.
In a forced-calm voice, I said, "Girls, don't you think we should stop now..."
"No!"
Alrighty then...
"Fa la laa, fa la laa, fa la laa..."
"Stupid 'fa laas.'" Again, Gazzy.
""
We waited.
And waited.
"Um, Nudge?" I asked.
"Hmm?"
"What's the next line?"
"The next line?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Oh, that next line?"
"Nudge..."
Nudge looked at Angel. Angel looked at Nudge. They both looked at Total, who said, "What? I'm just the innocent mutt who, since he's an innocent mutt, doesn't have to sing crazy songs, right?"
We ignored him.
"Uh, hello? Angel? Nudge?"
They both grinned sweetly at us.
"Oh! Oh oh ohhh! They don't know the next line, I bet!" Gazzy exclaimed.
"Yes we do!" Angel retorted.
"Well, then what is it?"
The two girls grinned again. And I was getting annoyed. "Listen," I started heatedly. "If y–"
"So, all of you want to know the next line?" Nudge interrupted. Iggy, Gazzy, Fang, and I all nodded. What were they up to now?
"HA! You owe me five bucks, Angel! Told ya I could make them want to sing!"
"No fair!"
Oh.
So that's what this was all about.
A/N: Totally random, I know. Oh wellz, HAPPY HOLIDAYS PPL!
