As Melle and Stinkie would enter Whipstaff they would feel the warmth of the house rush to their faces. Kat and Casper who'd already removed their wet coats, mittens and etc. would come to greet them. "Dad's making some Hot Chocolate, it should be ready soon." Kat smiled as she started at the snow covered Melle. "Wow, Stretch and Fatso weren't kidding they really got you good." Kat laughed lightly, pulling the blanket over her shoulders a little more. "Oh shut up!" Melle would stick out her tongue and laugh jokingly as she pealed away the wet layers of clothing. "Hey, no need for the cold shoulder!" Kat would tease and poke fun at her laughing. "Ohhh! Would you stop it withe the cold puns?" Rolling her eyes Melle would laugh again, rubbing her sweatered arms trying to warm herself up some more. "Myaw, What's da matter, a sore loser?" Stretch floated and leaning an elbow on her shoulder. Fatso quickly followed behind him doing the same, "Think she should 'chill out' a little more...?" Fatso chuckled and thumbed at the door.
"WAAH! No, no, no, no! Heheh, eh, no...I don't need anymore of that. I'm fine." Melle laughed nervously as she backed away and towards the library so she could get warm by the fire. At the same time Dr. Harvey would walk out of the kitchen with the hot chocolate for them. He was clad in a green sweater with various tiny spots of red in it for that christmassy look, wearing those all too familiar brown pants with it. "Anyone ready for Hot Chocolate...?" The slightly short brown haired man would ask, holding out the tray at them. "YES!" Melle shouted excitedly and grabbed up one of the cups, sipping at the hot chocolate almost immediately. Kat would also take one of the cups smiling really big as she took a sip. "Thanks dad." She spoke softly as she watched the Ghostly Trio grab up some of the cups. "A-Ah...heh, Wait! Boys before you star-..." Before Dr. Harvey had the time to finish the three ghosts had already chugged the liquid down, it splashing all over the floor. Dr. Harvey would just smile a little annoyedly and nod his head to them, "A-Heh, never-mind.."
Casper would float up beside Dr. Harvey placing a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Dr. Harvey I'll clean it up." He offered as he flew towards the closet to get a towel. "Thanks Casper." Dr. Harvey would smile with abit of relief and wrap an arm around Kats shoulder. "Sooo...Did you and the guys have fun outside?" The two of them started to talk with each other as they walked towards the kitchen. Meanwhile Melle had found her way in front of the fire, just relaxing back on the couch with her now finished hot chocolate cup. Carefully she sat the cup down on the ground, her eyes staring at the christmas lights that hung around the fire places mantel. Without knowing it a certain ghost had crept into the room behind her and wrapped both of his arms around her slowly from behind. It wasn't until she felt his freezing cold cheek against hers that she noticed though. With a slight 'EEP!' and a jump, she'd tumble off the couch and blink staring up at the buck toothed spectre. "G-gah...S-stinkie! Whew. Man, sorry about that dude, but y'know your just really cold to the touch." Laughing nervously, Melle moved back to the couch where Stinkie was now sitting up at. "Oh...Hehhh, Right, fergot 'bout dat!" Stinkie grinned back just as nervously, currently cursing his ghastly body for being cold to the touch.
"Man we almost creamed those guys out there earlier." Melle chuckled out, trying to change the subject. "Yea'! I didn't expect dem, t'pull that...Ah well. We'll get dem next time!" Stinkie flew up off the seat as if he were standing, bunching up a fist. "Sooo uh, heh, Christmas'll be 'ere soon.Y'know whatcha want...?" The smelly phantom questioned as he floated a little closer. "Well I DID give Dr. Harvey a list of things, but y'know.. I-" Shrugging her shoulder Melle, reached a hand behind her as she gets cut off. "OH? Y-yeah, hang on... I hear Stretch callin'! With a very shifty expression and ambiguous body movement, Stinkie floated back away from the blond haired girl. "I...uh, I'll be right back!" And with that the spook would take off out of the room like a 7-47. Melle just paused a moment and raised an eyebrow as she watched him. It was painfully obvious what he was doing but she wouldn't let on that she knew about it. Instead with a roll of her eyes and a smile she'd stand up and head up to her bedroom.
On her way up Kat called to her asking her to wait up. Hearing Kat call out to her Melle paused and turned to her with a smile. "Heh, Thanks for waiting up. Dad wanted me to tell you to get a good nights sleep." Kat smiled softly as she walked upstairs with Melle, adjusting the sleeves on her maroon colored shirt. "Why is that...?" Melle blinked a few times curiously. "Well, Dad said that he was going to take us Ice Skating tomorrow and he wants us to be well rested for it." Kat grinned and shrugged lightly. "I-ice skating huh? Sounds..fun!" Melles eyebrows quickly raised as her eyes shifted to look away with a big uneasy grin on her face. "Yeah! We used to do it all the time before.. and We'll probably get to eat out. I promise it'll be really really fun." Placing a hand on her shoulder Kat spoke out excitedly. "I bet! Can't wait for it, I'll make sure to get some really...really...good..sleep." Nervously grinning Melle nodded and waved to Kat who started towards her room.
Closing her eyes Melle groaned to herself, placing a hand to her face. "Why da long face?" Stretchs voice would ring out from beside her. "I could ask you the same!" Smirking lightly Melle moved her hand from her face and looked at the ghost. Stretchs left eye would narrow slowly being followed by the other one as he faked like he was going to hit her. "...Nothings really bugging me, just... that y'know were going ice skating tomorrow, and I don't know how to skate! I'm going to feel so stupid!" Throwing her arms in the air Melle sighed and hung her head. Stretch raised an eyebrow at her quickly floating up beside her. "Eh? Is dat all? Yeesh, y'fleshies do worry over da littlest a things. Da only way y'learn is by doin' stupid things! ...Jus' dun tell Fatso I said dat.." The tall slinky phantom cackled. Melle just shook her head and grinned lightly. "Well it may be stupid to you, but to me it's something huge... especially since it'll be my butt hititng that hard ice."
Stretch just sort of smirked and pffted, waving a hand at her. "Dat's why I'm glad dat I'mma ghost, dun gotta worry 'bout dem problems. Heheh, I'll catch y'later flesh-girl... I gotta couple tings t'take care of.." With that the the wise-guy ghost was gone. Melle just turned and continued on towards her room mumbling out a 'Thanks alot', sarcastically. Little did the fleshie girl know that Stretch was actually on his way to find Stinkie and do her a favor. As he looked into the kitchen he'd find his smelly brother reading over the wishlist that Melle had written. The long ghost sneered at this but worked up enough guys to fly over to his brother. "Ey, Stinkie!" He called out to him stopping by his side. Upon hearing his brothers voice Stinkie would gasp and quickly hide the wishlist, unknowing that his brother had already seen him looking it over. "O-oh 'ey dere Stretch, I was j-just...a...heh.. I mean.." Stinkie studdered. "YEAH, Yeah, I dun care what ya was doin'. Look, I was just talkin' with your girlfriend dere. She, Kat an da Doc 're all goin' skatin' tomorrow. Problemo is dat she dun know how t'skate." Stretch explained to him, waving his hands around lightly before crossing them at the end.
"S-she dun know how t'skate? Dat'll 'urt.." Stinkie grimced lightly as he thought about that. "No Kiddin..." Eying his brother Stretch slowly trailed his words off. "DATS why YOU'RE goin' t'go with her! T'make sure she dun get hurt." He scowled hardly able to believe the words that were coming from his mouth. Stinkies eyes widened and eeped as he felt his brother jab him. "... H-heuhh? Y-you want..me...to..wha? Y'actually want me t'go with 'er?" The dazed stenchy ghost reached a finger up to clean out an ear he morphed onto the side of his head. "What y'gotta problem wit dat?" Stretch questioned getting in Stinkies face, which was pretty dangerous. "No no no! Eh-eheh...why would I...er u-" Waving his hands Stinkie grinned and laughed lightly. "GOOD! S'get goin' up dere t'tell her already!" Rolling his eyes Stretch reached his hand out and gently smacked his brother upside the head. "I'm goin'! I'm goin!" Rubbing his head and grumping Stinkie fled. Stretch just remained floating in the same spot for a moment afterwards questioning himself, "...What've I done...? Oy."
