Chapter 24: A Chaotic Carol Part 1
Oh, hello all of you out there, I didn't see you come in here. So I believe now we start anew with our story, of chaos and valor, of friendship and laughter. And of course our heroes and their partners the digimon digital monsters. Now we go to Union City, the snow gently falling. Where we find Christian nearly colliding with a tree. "I don't have time for this I'm late!" he yells, "If I don't get there soon the others will be really irate." He picked up speed moving through the streets at a break neck pace, it was almost as if it were a race.
He runs into the mall making his way to the center plaza. "Let's hope that there won't be any drama." Chris mumbles to himself as he walks up to Jack, Alexis, Brianna, and Charlie. "Hey guys I'm sorry." Chris says giving a sheepish grin. "Chris, where have you been!? We were supposed to meet a quarter past ten." Alexis screams, then Brianna chimes in, "Give him a break, he's always been late, especially when it's a date." Brianna gives a sly smile to Alexis, whose face turns bright red. "Guys can we please put this joke to bed?" Chris asks with a sigh.
"Oh it's a joke is it, now that's a lie." Angel says with a giggle. "I wish I knew how to mute the digivice." Angel giggles again, "Oh lighten up, besides I just want to give you advice." "Does anyone else notice the rhyming?" Charlie asks with less than impeccable timing. They all look at him their eyebrows raised, "Charlie are you sure you're not crazed?" Alexis asks, to which Charlie responds with, "Just dismiss what I said. Anyway let's start shopping." "Well then we should get hopping." Chris says before putting his hands in his pockets and starts walking.
Chris quickly made his way through the stores, looking at books and toys galore. After being to nearly ever shop he planned he let out an exasperated sigh, "Why, do not of these stores have that toy?" He looked at his hands with utter lack of joy. Alexis sneaks up behind him and jumps clamping her hands on his shoulders. Chris jumps up with a yell, "What the hell!" He whirls on his heels to see Alexis, and Bri laughing like schoolgirls. Alexis talks through her laughter, "You should have seen how high you jumped, and that squeal are you sure you're not a girl?"
Chris sneers as she continues, "We can get you a skirt and you can take a twirl. Then we'll put your hair in cute pigtails with pretty pink bows." Chris allows the insults as he starts walking away, "Just stop." He says quietly, "I'm not in the mood today." Alexis walks up to him, "What's wrong?" Although Chris responds seeming withdrawn, "It doesn't matter." "But you just seem sadder." Bri says catching up after having been in a store. "Just drop it, it's nothing and nothing more."
As our heroes shopped around something more sinister came around. An evil hitting close at Chris' home, "Oh what a pretty young girl." A shadowed figure takes a lock of Chelsea's hair wrapping it around its finger with a twirl. "So young, and innocent. You will be perfect." The figure picks her up, leaving post haste, before the plan could be wrecked. Back at the mall Chris walks into a store run by a salon stylist, "Hello Chris, I never expected you to come by here." Chris faintly smiles putting his hands in his pockets, "Neither did I Sophia, but I want to by my sister a gift that's first tier."
Sophia with pale brown hair down her back, wearing a tank top leans over the counter and smiles, "So she still wants to a top rate stylist and tamer, huh? Maybe soon she'll be asking to learn from me." Chris states a decree, "You I trust with that." Sophia walks over to Chris taking a hold of a strand of his hair, "Speaking of which when will you start giving your tresses proper care?" She then takes his chin moving his head, "And more important yet when will you let me work my magic?" Chris rolls his eyes, "Five years after my demise so tragic." Sophie huffs and goes back behind the counter, "So what do you want to buy?" "A full set of stylist scissors, and razors, and I promise that's no lie." She types into the register, "That will be One hundred dollars, or around 20000 bits." Chris sighs and pulls out his digivice and the money transmits. Sophia then walks away bringing back all the tools to show me before packing and wrapping it. Chris thanks her and walks out after grabbing the Christmas present. As he leaves Chris receives a phone call from his Mother which will not be pleasant.
