The sun was starting to sink on the site of the party, and things weren't looking too good.
Zarius: Ahhh...the sky looks beautiful, the best Christmas bash ever starts in a few hours, and the crisp air feels so...so...
Cyrus: Crisp?
Zarius: ...sure...as I was saying...and the crisp snowy air feels so crisp...BUT THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FINISH!
Cyrus: Well...the set-up crew should be arriving soon...
Zarius: Really? Yes! I can't wait for D...uh, the help to arrive!
Cyrus: What was the stutter for?
Zarius: Uhhh...c'mon! Stop standing around! Keep placing the speakers in their right spots and continue setting-up those stands! WE GOT A LOT A WORK TO DO!!!
Imediately after finishing his rant, a claw tapped him on the shoulder.
Zarius: WHAT!?
Shadow: Dude, calm down, we're here.
Standing behind shadow was Charr, Storm, Siaria, Amaya, Spike, and Rosa.
Zarius: Finally! Now hurry up and start setting-up! Everyone will start arriving soon so...
Luna345: Hey Guys! What's up?
Zarius: WHA! Where did you come from!?
Luna345: Home?...wait...everything doesn't look ready yet.
Zarius *facepalm*
Cyrus: Yeah...we're working on that...
Luna345: Well, we could help!
Sora, Luna, and Asuka all walk out from behind Luna345, waving with large smiles.
Sora: Hey guys!
Asuka: Haha, I'm here cuz she made me!
Zarius: YES! This is perfect! Alright! Cyrus, you and Cyro go finish setting-up the speakers.
Cyrus: Right!
Zarius: Siaria and Charr...make a hot tub...uh, somehwere.
Siaria: *groan* With him?
Zarius: Just do it, please!
Siaira: *rolls eyes*
Charr: *shrugs*
Zarius: Shadow, Spike, Amaya, Rosa...hmm...fix-up the decorations a little more.
Shadow Spike Rosa and Amaya: YESSIR!
Zarius: *twitches eyes and rubs ears* Holy loudness...right! *points to Luna345, Sora, and Luna* You three come help me plan the events!
The four are about to leave, but Zarius is suddenly spun around and becomes almost nose to nose with Asuka, completely shocked and slightly scared.
Asuka: What about me!?
Zarius: ...uhhhh...
Asuka: GIVE ME A JOB BEFORE I RIP YOUR THROAT OUT!
Zarius: 0_0
Asuka: 3!...2...
Zarius: GO BE SECURITY GUARD!
Asuka: *laughing* Okay!
Zarius watches as Asuka skips off, humming and smiling, while he, on the other hand, was tottaly mortified.
Zarius: I...I just saw my life flash before my eyes...
Luna345: Sorry about that, but, well, it's Asuka. What can you do?
Zarius: ...get a leash and a muzzle?
Asuka: I HEARD THAT!
Zarius: 0_0
Luna: You better run...
Sora: Yeah, you really should.
Zarius: ...you know...Artemis showing-up early and being my body-guard would be a good thing right now...but she's not, is she...
Luna345, Sora, and Luna all shake their heads.
Zarius: Well...start planning without me, kay? *sprints off into the distance*
Sora: You think he'll survive?
Asuka: *sprints by after him* GET BACK HERE SO I CAN RIP YOUR ARM OFF!
Luna: My bets on Asuka catching him before sunset.
Sora: Deal!
Luna345: *shakes head slowly* Well, any of you have ideas for some of the entertainment?
Sora and Luna: ...well...we could record Asuka mauling Zarius and show it later...
Luna345: H-how did you two do that in unison?
Sora and Luna: No clue.
Luna345:0_o ...right...wait! NO! We can't record Asuka mauling Zarius!...oh no...
Zarius: *from off to the side* Asuka...it was just a joke...I actually think you're kinda cool...
Asuka: I. AM. NOT. COLD!!!
Zarius: THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!
Asuka: *laughs like a maniac on an acid trip*
Zarius: Asuka...don't...no...NO...STOP! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!!
Asuka: Anything?
Zarius: YES!
Asuka: Hmm...I'll get back to you on that...
Zarius returns to the others breathing heavily with wide eyes and his paw on his chest, which was inflating and deinflating like a baloon.
Zarius: I...I just saw my ANCESTOR's life flash before my eyes...wow, my great great great great grandma was a wolf...
Sora: Really?
Zarius: Mabey...or I'm just delusional from nearly being ripped apart by a maniac...anyway, think of any ideas?
Sora and Luna: You could get Asuka PO'd again, have her maul you, then show it on the big screen?
Zarius: -_- That's it? While I was busy running for my life you only came-up with ONE idea!...wait a sec...YOU WANT ME TO WHAT!?!?!?
Sora and Luna: *shrugs* It was just a suggestion.
Zarius: -_-
Luna345: Well, I think we're ganna have to improvise...
Zarius: Why?
Luna345: Cuz they're starting to arrive...
Zarius: 0_0 ...
Luna345: ZARIUS!
Zarius: Sorry...FFFFUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
Cyrus: Everything is finally set-up!...hey, what's wrong?
Zarius: WE DONT HAVE ANY ENTERTAINMENT PLANNED AND THE GUESTS ARE ALREADY SHOWING UP!!!
Cyrus: ...oh...
Zarius: Awww man! They are expecting some performance and we HAVE NONE
YET!
Just then, as the sun finally dipped beneath the horizon, and the stars twinkled to life like a field of fireflies, everything went dead silent, except for the murmer of the awaiting crowd...and Zarius PMSing...
Zarius: *biting his claws nervously* _ _ -
Voice from Speakers: HEEEEEEEEEY EVERYBODY!!!
Zarius: Oooooo...who's that?
Cyrus: Sounds familiar...
Zarius: Wait...I know who it is!
