Woooo. Sorry it took me so long to get this chappie up. I know I said I'd
have at least one more chappie up before Christmas, but it turned out I
couldn't because I got myself banned from updating for like a week because
I posted an announcement. Naughty naughty Genie.
If anyone knows who Pixistix318, aka Nonno, is, then could you tell me how to get in touch with her? She sent me an email a while back and I really wanted to reply to it but when I tried to it said "Pixistix318 is not a known member" but that was the address on the email so I don't know what the heck is going on.
Thank-Q Cyborgirl0016 for the idea used in this chappie! Btw, I love that song, one of my absolute favorite Christmas songs!!! Lol
Hope everyone had an absolutely wondachu Christmas / Hanukkah / whatever you celebrate. I'll be keeping you in the Christmas spirit for a while by doing all 12 days of this fic! lol ~
Riiiiiiiiiing.
"Hey Brandy, get the door will ya?" Marian Haruna called to her daughter.
"Brandy's the dog, and he's outside," Laura replied absentmindedly. "Besides, that was the friggin' phone."
"Oh, sorry, dear," Laura's mother said. "In that case, will you answer the phone, Hamtaro honey?"
"MY NAME IS LAURA FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!" Laura screamed, tired of having her mother call her by her pets' names. "AND YES, IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY I WILL ANSWER THE FRIGGING PHONE!!!" With a sigh, Laura picked up the receiver and put on her best Richard Simmons voice.
"Hello, you've reached the Haruna residence, Laura Haruna speaking," Laura began. "If you'd like to speak to Forrest, please press 1 now. If you'd like to talk to Marian, please press 2 now. If you'd like to talk to Hamtaro, please press 3 now. If you'd like to talk to Brandy, please press 4 now. If you'd like to talk to Laura aka me then I don't know why the crap you even-"
"Laura, it's me," Kana's voice came over the line.
"OH HEY KANA!!!" Laura shouted.
"Calm yourself, woman," Kana said.
"OooooohhhhOOOhhhh sorry," Laura replied.
"Look, me and my family, we're going to visit my cousin Dillan today on his ranch, for a kind of Christmas visit," Kana continued. "And I was wondering if you'd like to come?"
"OH YEAH OH BOY OH SURE I'D LOVE TO!!!!!" Laura screamed with glee.
"SHUT THE CRAP UP!!!" Kana shouted at her. "IT WAS A SIMPLE YES OR NO ANSWER!!!"
"Oops!" Laura said. "I guess I got a little excited. Teehee!"
"Okay, well we're leaving now," Kana told her. "So get your sorry butt over here ASAP."
"Yes ma'am!" Laura replied. Then she slammed the receiver down and rushed off to Kana's house without even telling her parents where she was going. In the 13.6 seconds it took for Laura to get from her house to Kana's, Hamtaro somehow managed to get out of his cage, slide down the drainpipe, go to the clubhouse, tell everyone there that they were going to Dillan's, come back and jump in the back of Kana's car just as her father was closing the tailgate. And somehow, nobody in the car except Oxnard noticed that there were about ten other hamsters now in the back of the car.
"HEY GUYS GUESS WHERE WE'RE GOING!!!" Oxnard shouted to them as soon as he saw them.
"YEAH! WE KNOW!!!" they all answered. "WHY DO YOU THINK WE'RE ALL COMING?"
"ISN'T IT GREAT?!" Oxnard yelled. "I GET TO SEE MY PEPPER AGAIN!!!"
"YEAH! WE KNOW!!!" everyone replied. "NOW STOP YELLING!!!"
"Right," Oxnard said. "Sorry."
Before you could say E-I-E-I-O, or so it seemed, they found themselves outside Cousin Dillan's ranch. And then, as always, Kana foolishly put Oxnard in the "outdoor pen for hamsters" that Dillan had made even though hamsters can definitely fit through the huge gaps in the fence, not to mention even if they did stay in the pen, it would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack come time to leave. Nonetheless, in he went, closely followed by all the other Ham-Hams, and immediately began searching frantically for his beloved spicy condiment of a girlfriend.
He found her sitting on a donkey singing "home on the range" to herself.
"HEY PEPPER!!!" he screamed as soon as he saw her.
"HIYA OXY!!!" she screamed in reply. Then she jumped onto the ground beside him, and, looking up at her donkey friend, said "Say hello, Dominic."
"Dominic?" Oxnard asked.
"Yeah, that's his name."
"Dominic the donkey?"
"Yeah, it's the donkey's name."
"THE Dominic the Donkey??? The Italian Christmas Donkey???" Oxnard asked, getting excited.
"What are you talking about?" Pepper asked.
"You know, the song!" Oxnard shouted joyously. He turned to the others, standing behind him. "You guys know what I'm talking about, right?"
"Sure!" Hamtaro said. "You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Don-"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Oxnard shouted. "That's the wrong song!"
"Oops," Hamtaro muttered. "Then who the heck is Dominic the Donkey?"
Oxnard sighed. "Must I sing it for you?"
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, here goes." Oxnard cleared his throat. "Jingity jing, HEE-HAW, HEE- HAW, it's Dominic the Donkey! Jingity jing, HEE-HAW, HEE-HAW, the Italian Christmas Donkey!!! Oh, la la laaaa, la la la la la la la! La la laaaa, la la la la dee-oh-da!"
"Oh wow, I know this song," Boss said as Oxnard finished the chorus.
"Oh yeah?" Oxnard said brightly.
"Yeah, sure," Boss replied. "Santa's got a little friend and his name is Dominic! The cutest little donkey, you never see him kick! When Santa visits his paisons, with Dominic he'll be, because the reindeer cannot climb the hills of Italy!"
"That's the one!" Oxnard shouted happily. Boss smiled and Pepper gave them both a really weird look.
"Hey, jingity jing!" Oxnard and Boss both sang. "Hee-haw! Hee-haw! It's Dominic the Donkey! Jingity jing! Hee-haw! Hee-haw! The Italian Christmas Donkey! OH! La la laaaa la la la la la la la! La la laaaa la la la la dee- oh-da!"
"Jingle bells around his feet and presents on the sled..."
"You know it too, Maxwell?" Oxnard said with amazement. Frankly, it was pretty amazing how many of them knew the song.
Maxwell nodded. "Hey, look at the mayor's derby on top of Dominic's head! A pair of shoes for Louie and a dress for Josephine..."
"The label on the inside says they're made in Brook-a-lyn!" Oxnard and Boss finished. And then the three of them were singing the chorus together while Pepper stared in confusion and concern. Concern for their sanity. The others, however, were catching the tune and started dancing and singing along as well.
"Children sing and clap their hands and Dominic starts to dance!" Sandy sang.
To which Stan replied:
"They talk Italian to him and he even understands!"
"Cumpare sing, cumpare su, and dance 'sta tarantel..." Dexter sang.
"When jusamagora comes to town..." Howdy continued.
"And brings du ciuccianello!" both of them finished.
And then it was back to the chorus, now every last one of them, except Pepper, joining in.
Hamtaro: Jingity jing! Oxnard: HEE-HAW! HEE-HAW! Boss: It's Dominic the Donkey! Bijou: Jingity jing! Stan: HEE-HAW! HEE-HAW! Sandy: The Italian Christmas Donkey! All: HEY! Pashmina: La la laaaaa la la la la la la la Cappy: La la laaaaa la la la la dee-oh-da!
"You've all lost your marbles!" Pepper shrieked. Then she leapt onto her donkey's head, gave a "Giddyup, Dominic!" and with a whoosh of hooves, galloped off to find some sanity.
"Hey, Dominic!" Oxnard shouted after her. "Buon Natale!"
~
Unfortunately, Pepper was unable to find any sanity with the humans inside the house either. When she entered the room, Dillan was running around in circles with socks on his hands and nose and ears yelling "SOCKS!!! ALL I EVER GET FOR CHRISTMAS IS SOCKS!!!!" while Laura, Kana, and her parents just laughed at him. Poor Dillan.
~
That evening Laura came back home and once again wrote in her journal before going to sleep.
"It was a fun day," she wrote. "I went to Dillan's ranch with Kana and her family. Too bad I forgot to tell Mom and Dad where I was going, cuz when I came home Dad was practically having a seizure over my absence and Mom had just gotten dressed in her black spy bodysuit to go on a top-secret mission to find me. I think she thought I'd been kidnapped or something. But that's Mom. You know how she is." Laura sighed and closed her journal. "Nine more days, little buddy," she told Hamtaro.
"You're stupid," Hamtaro thought to himself.
