*Babbit * If Hayama is so against being a tree, why didn't he just try out for the chorus?
We then see a mental picture (but complete with sound(!) of Hayama trying out for the chorus....
*Babbit* I'm sorry I asked. Ahh! My ears! My virgin ears!

"Yawwwwnnn that was ONE tiring school day." Sana yawned, as she trudged through the newly fallen snow ( and currently falling snow=p).
"Yeah. Who would have thought we'd have to work all day?" Aya moaned, rubbing her now sore back. (From hunching over all the time like a granny=)
"Also the hood I have to wear gave me a bad bed head=p" Sana added, glumly. But not too glumly.
It had now been two weeks of practicing for the play, and in all the years she had been doing professional acting she had never worked so hard.
"Atleast Hayma's having fun." Aya offered. Sana spun around to her.
"Him having fun? He's a tree! He skips every practice, cuz all he hasta do is be a tree!"
A series of Babbits fly by, leaded by one Babbit with a red nose. Bells jingle, as the two girls are now silent.
"Did you see that?" Sana asked.
"No." Aya replied, although she very much had.
*Red nosed Babbit as he rushes berry fast past the two girls* Good little girls don't liiiiiiiieeee!
"I think it was Santa clause." Sana said.
"Santa clause?"
"Or a bat."
"A bat?"
"Yeah a bat."
This conversation continued for awhile then, until it was suddenly stopped with a start.
"Saaaannnnaaa!" shouted a lavender coloured hair boy, with blue eyes.
"Nao-kun!" Sana shouted, as Naozumi bounded up to them.
"Umm, I gotta go. Byebye Sana!" Aya said, hurridly, and ran off to her home. (Which she'd missed, considering she was supposed to be visiting Sana today.)
"Wud up, Nao?!" Sana greeted, but Naozumi didn't answer.
"Sana! Where have you been?? I watch Kodocha faithfully each and every day and you're not on it anymore!" Nao-kun cried. Oh yeah, Kodocha, Sana thought. I haven't been there forever cuz of this play.
"Well that's cuz I have a play at school and I'm red ridding hood, and I get to run away from the wolf, and skip work continuesly so I can have fun fun fun!" She said all this in one big breath, and berry fast, and was out of breath for awhile after that.
"So you're not quitting Komowari!!??" He cried, breathless himself from running through the snow.
Sana stared at him.
"Quit Komowari? No way! I'll never, ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever (*Babbit* WE GET THE POINT!!!!) quit Komowari." She finished, shaking her head quickly.
"Ok." Nao gasped, resting his hand on her shoulder.
"Wow thanks a lot for getting so worked up over this." Sana smiled, patting his back.
"Sana, are you doing anything on the 24th?" he asked, finaly regaining composure, and standing up straight.
"Hmmmm, 24th , 24th, 24th... what's the 24th? Oh yeah~!" she exclaimed, while putting her fingers to her lips, thoughtfully.
"That's Christmas Eve! That's the night Santa comes down the chimney and gives presents present presents!" Sana said gleefully.
"Yeah. So ummmmmm, you wanna come to my house for a party? Or something?" Nao asked, nervously.
"Really?! A party! Wow yeah sure! I'll tell everyone at school! They'll all wanna come too! You did the right thing by talking to me first^-^ I can get the info around really really fast!"
Naozumi, looked away, as he realized his dream of having just her for the party was now out the window. Finaly he nervously looked up at her and smiled.
"Su-ure you can tell everyone I guess..." Sana jumped up, and hugged him hard.
"Ooooh Thank you Thank you Thank you!" he stumbled back, and then smiled. Happy to have at least gotten a hug.
"Yay party next week!" She shouted, well walking down the street for home. Then she realized something.
" Next week? Christmas Eve is next week?! Gotta get presents! Byebye Nao-kun! See ya on the 24th!" she waved, and rushed like a tornado through the snow, sending piles of it through the air.
When Sana ran through a sidewalk by the busy street, all the powered candy snow covered a car waiting for the light to turn red. That car had a man with black, short hair, and edged buck-teeth. He got out of the car, likely to try and clear it off before the light turned red again. He jumped out in front of the traffic, and with a snow scraper tried to scrape off the snow.
By now Sana had stopped, realizing her mistake.
The man accomplised about 60% of the job before the light turned red, and the cars sped by. He jumped from side to side, and finally back into his car (which was now covered with snow from the open door=p) and drove into a parking lot nearby.
*Babbit* Good little kids don't jump out infront of cars!
Then Babbit turned to Sana, as she rushed off to the lot, and shouted, 'Good little Sanas don't throw snow on helpless cars!!
"Hey Mister!" Sana shouted, still rushing down to the lot. "Mister, Mister! I'm soooo sorry~! I never meant to do that! My feet are snow covered! They're snow blowers! I'm-"
Suddenly she stopped, apparently noticing who the man was. He was getting out the car, when Sana began to shout (again=p).
"Ooooh Zenjiro! I haven't seen you forever! Oooooh now I'm doubly embarrassed for snow blowing you!" she cried, grabbing her co-worker's snow covered suit.
"Ah, Sana-chan!" Zenjiro shouted, with his short syllable voice.
"Zenjirou-San I'm so sorry!"
Zenjirou shock himself off, and grinned, revealing his bucked teeth.
"That's Ok. I'm just surprised to see you. It's been so long."
Sana suddenly realized that it really had been a long time since she'd had any contact with Zenjirou, or Kodomo no Omocha at all.

*TBC*
