twas5.html 'Twas the Night Before Christmas...
Involving Taichi! (and the less important Hikari)
by Reka

'Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the Yagami house,
Everyone was being stupid,
even the Christmas tree lights.
(It is rumored that the Yagami family named their Christmas tree lights over a few mugs of spiked Egg Nog. The lights were named 'Hikari' which is Japanese for 'light'. The lights later were donated to a stray cat named Tailmon to light up her house at night.)

Taichi was very drunk,
(after drinking 23 mugfulls of spiked egg nog you would be too, trust me)
and laughed, sung loudly, danced, and barfed
with his loony parents who were nuts.
(Of course, the Christmas tree lights also joined in the festivities, but that's not important.)

Since all were drunk,
it was
quite easy for the fangirl,
alone,
to snatch Taichi away.

She would've gotten clean away
if the little drunk
boy on her back
hadn't started belting out
"The Star-Spangled Banner,"
in horrible English.

The Christmas tree lights,
(which were less drunk than everyone else, but that's not important)
heard the senseless singing and
fainted silently.

At the center of the 'music,'
the fangirl and all those within a 10-foot radius
all died with a large bang,
leaving poor little Taichi
all alone.

Taichi crawled home.
"Ma... ma....?"
The drunk boy croaked.
The door opened,
although not his parents,
only the wind.
(As well as those Christmas tree lights, but just as she did, the author got annoyed and sent the lights to Hell, and they're not importantanyway.)

The author was smiling on him.
"Go on,"
She whispered through the clouds.
"Get drunk."
