The dark themed Christmas part 2

Bisharp stepped out of the bathroom, his black body, white gloves and red and black helmet shining from moisture from the air while Leafeon was showering. Bisharp stretches his arms while letting out a big yawn. He looks out the window sleepily and sees the stars sparkle in the sky. Simipour is still on the couch, feeling slightly guilty of the incident before. Bisharp walks towards the doorway, stops and winks at Simipour.

"Dude, forget about that, just think about our party tomorrow with Team Illusion and Team Crystal and what a blast it'll be…" he stopped and put his hand on his chin covering, "…another thing you could do…" he raised his voice slightly and sarcastically, "is go to bed!" he chuckled a bit, so did Simipour. Vulpix smiled and hung the last gold sparkling bauble on the tree. Then she ran swiftly past Bisharp.

"Whoa, what's the rush there?" he exclaims.

"I'm going to bed, duuuh!" yells Vulpix from the hallway.

"Dude, it's only 9:30PM, we promised to stay up remember?" Bisharp yells back a little quieter.

"But I want a goodnight sleep, Bisharp…" Vulpix replies, "…you should go to sleep as well, or Santa Snorlax might not come and give us pressies!" Bisharp raises an eyebrow, "But..I…what..de..ughhh" Bisharp stammers, then frowns. He looks a Medicham, her legs are crossed and she's sitting with her back to the fire, her left hand is on top of her right hand and is placed on her feet, her eyes are closed. Bisharp licks his top lip and then sits on the floor, his legs are to his right and his right hand is on his thigh. Leafeon comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head. She does look pretty funny, thought Bisharp. He mustered a small chesty laugh. Leafeon, luckily, didn't hear because she was busy combing the fur at the base of her tail. Then she walked to her room and blew her candle out.

Nuzleaf finally raised his hand in sympathy as he finished his rather long wish list. He stood up and handed Bisharp the blue pen he was using. Bisharp took it then threw it behind his back. Medicham then stood up and sleepily walked to her room, bumping into a wall on the way. Bisharp smiled, trying not to laugh. Simipour woke up suddenly from his doze and stood up, smiled at Bisharp and walked to his room. Bisharp sat there, this time he lifted his knee and put his hand on it. Then he stood up, picked up the pen he threw and his iPhone on the table and walked silently to his room. Silently, not so much in his opinion, as his steel boots made a small, metallic banging sound on the wooden panel floors of the Jade Palace hall.

Midnight. Footsteps can be heard in the living room of the Jade Palace, right where the Team Psi Christmas tree stands proud. Vulpix wakes up to the sound of footsteps and the sound of a sack full of cardboard boxes and soft toys rustling in the living room. She tiptoes slowly and quietly out of her room toward the living room. Santa Snorlax puts about 18 presents under the tree, 3 for each team member: a soccer ball for Nuzleaf, a packed up sword for Bisharp, a make-up kit for Leafeon and many more. Vulpix looks in awe at all the presents, but then Santa Snorlax turns around, surprising Vulpix out of her wits. Santa smiles and signals Vulpix to come closer to him and that it's ok. Vulpix shuffles closer and then runs up to him and gives him a big hug.

"Vulpix, come with me, I know you are curious. I want to show you something…" said Santa as he led her to his sleigh.
