Me: Hey, guys. I have big news before we get started.

Sonic: What's that?

Me: I just got Oogie's Revenge.

Elise: That's wonderful. How far are you?

Me: Right after the battle against the doctor.

Sonic: Ooh. I hear that battle is tricky. Even in Nightmare Mode.

Me: I'm on easy mode but it was tricky. Still, I love it.

Elise: I'm glad you do. So viewers, remember to review.

When Sonic came home that night, he tried to look for answers about Christmas in the books he found in Christmas Town. It turns out Christmas is very cheerful. No screams.
"There's got to be a logical way to explain this Christmas thing," Sonic said. Then he took out a book with the title, "The Scientific Method" on the cover.

At Silver's house the next day, Silver sent Elise into her room as a punishment. He kept the door locked so Elise won't be able to escape. Then the doorbell rang.
"The door is open!" Silver called.
"Hello?" Sonic called.
"Sonic Skellington! Up here, my boy," Silver said.
"Doctor, I need to borrow some equipment," Sonic said.
"Is that so? Whatever for?" Silver asked.
"I'm conducting a series of experiments," Sonic said.
"How perfectly marvelous," Silver said. "Curiosity killed the cat, you know?"
"I know," Sonic said. Sonic and Silver went into Silver's lab to get some equipment. Elise heard everything by putting her ear close to the door. She was confused.
"Hm. Experiments?" Elise asked.

At Sonic's house, Sonic tried to go through all the things to check the Christmas stuff. First he tried to look deeply into a holly berry but it broke the microscope. He tried to experiment the candy cane but it melted to look like a plain noodle. Sonic used a magnifying glass to check the stuffing of a teddy bear. Then Sonic used a ornament and put it in a beaker.
"Interesting reaction," Sonic said. "But what does it mean?" Back at Silver's lab, Elise put a liquid in a bottle without making a sound so Silver won't here her. Then she put the bottle in a basket to deliver to Sonic. To escape, Elise jumped out her window. Her arm and leg fell off but she had extra yarn to restore her arm and leg. Then Elise continued to make her delivery. Sonic was doing an equation until he heard a thump against the window. Sonic saw a basket and down below was Elise with a smile on her face. Sonic opened the bottle and a cloud in the shape of a butterfly appeared. Sonic smiled and went to the window to thank Elise. But she was gone. Sonic went to continue his search. Elise was close to the gate to Sonic's house and picked a flower she loved. But after picking two leaves, Elise saw a terrible vision. The flower turned into a little Christmas tree and it burned in flames. Elise was shocked by this. Does this mean Christmas and Halloween can't go together?

The next day, the citizens were confused what Sonic was doing. They sang this song:
"Something's up with Sonic, something's up with Sonic,
Don't know if we're ever going to get him back.
He's all alone up there, locked away inside,
Never says a word, hope he hasn't died.
Something's up with Sonic, something's up with Sonic."
Elise peeked through Sonic's gate in worry. Sonic was still wondering what Christmas is. He started to sing, too:
"Christmas time is buzzing in my skull,
Will it let me be, I cannot tell.
There are so many things I cannot grasp.
When I think I've got and then at last.
Through my bony fingers, it'll slip,
Like a snowflake in a fiery grip.
Something's here I'm not quite getting.
Though I try I keep forgetting.
Like a memory long since past.
Here in a instant, gone in a flash.
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
In these little bric-a-brac,
A secret's waiting to be cracked.
These dolls and toys confuse me so.
Confound it all I love it though.
Simple objects, nothing more,
But something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key.
Something's here I cannot see.
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean? Hm...
I've read these Christmas books so many times.
I know the stories and I know the rhymes.
I know all the Christmas carols all by heart.
My skull's so full it's tearing me apart.
As often as I read them, something's wrong.
So hard to put my bony finger on.
Or perhaps it's really not as deep
As I've been lead to think.
Am I trying much too hard?
Of course! I've been too close to see.
The answer's right in front of me.
Right in front of me.
Very simple really, very clear.
Like music drifting in the air.
Invisible but everywhere.
Just because I cannot see it,
Doesn't mean I can't believe it.
You know I think this Christmas thing
Is not as tricky as it seems.
And why should they have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone.
Not anyone, in fact, but me!
Why I could make a Christmas tree!
And there's no reason I can find,
I couldn't handle Christmas time.
I bet I can improve it, too.
And that's exactly what I'll do! Hee hee hee!
"Eureka! This year, Christmas will be...OURS!" Sonic called out. Everyone cheered except Elise. She was worried about Sonic after seeing her terrible vision. That afternoon, everyone was told by Sonic to have special jobs to make Christmas. Silver was called out to find out his job: To make reindeer to guide his coffin sleigh.
"How horrible our Christmas will be," Jet said.
"No. How jolly," Sonic said.
"Oh. How jolly our Christmas will be," Jet said. Then a bunch of things hit the two faced hawk. It was a fox with two tails, a rabbit with long ears and an echidna with big fists.
"What are you doing here?" Jet asked.
"Sonic sent for us," the fox with a devil mask said.
"Specifically," the rabbit with a witch's suit said.
"By name," the echidna said. They introduced themselves as Tails, Cream and Knuckles. Sonic told them to look for Sandy Claws. He whispered the directions to them. Jet tried to listen but his spider tie was in the megaphone. Sonic completed the directions.
"One more thing," Sonic said, pulling one of Tails' tails. "Leave that no account Eggman Boogie...OUT OF THIS!"
"No problem, Sonic," Knuckles said.
"Of course, Sonic," Cream said.
"Wouldn't dream of it, Sonic," Tails said. But they secretly crossed their fingers. So the kids went to their tree house to figure out a plan to kidnap Sandy Claws. They sang this song:
"Kidnap the Sandy Claws?
I wanna do it.
Let's draw straws.
Sonic said we should work together.
Three of a kind!
Birds of a feather!
Now and forever!
La lala lalala lala la la
La lala lalala lala la la la
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight.
Throw away the key and then turn off all the lights.
First we're going to set some bait.
When he comes a-sniffing, we snap the trap and close the gate
Wait! I got a better plan
To catch this big black and red lobster man.
Let's pop him in a boiling pot,
And when he's done we'll butter him up.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box.
Bury him for ninety years and see if he talks.
Then Mister Eggman Boogie man
Can take the whole thing over then.
He'll be so please I do declare
That he will cook him rare.
Wee!
I say that we take a cannon
Aim it at his door
And then knock three times.
And when he answers
Sandy Claws will be no more.
You're so stupid,
Think now if we blow him up to smithereens.
We may lose some pieces,
And Sonic will beat us black and green.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, tie him in a bag.
Throw him in the ocean and see if he is sad.
Because Mister Eggman Boogie is the meanest guy around.
If I were on his boogie list, I'd get out of town.
He'll so pleased by our success,
That he'll reward us, too, I bet.
Perhaps he'll make his special brew,
Of snake and spider stew. Yum!
We're his little henchmen and we take our job wide pride,
We do our best to please him and stay on his good side.
I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb.
I'm not the dumb one.
You're no fun.
Shut up!
Make me!
I got something listen now.
This one is real good, you'll see.
We'll send a present to his door
Upon there will be a note to read.
Now in the box, we'll wait and hide
Until his curiosity entices him to look inside.
And then we'll have him
One, two, three.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, beat him with a stick.
Lock him up for ninety years
And see what makes him tick.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, chop him into bits,
Mister Eggman Boogie is sure to get his kicks.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see,
Lock him in a cage and then
Throw away the key!"
So the kids went to the Hinterlands to find Christmas Town.

Me: Uh oh! I have a bad feeling about Elise's vision. What if Christmas gets ruined by Sonic?

Sonic: And what will become of Shadow Sandy Claws?

Elise: Find out next time! And don't forget to review.

Me: Yeah. What she said.
