Author's Note: Hey, I'm back. Sorry I haven't written anything new for so long. School work. But here's a special Christmas fic starring the Tantalus gang!
Disclaimer: No I do not own Final Fantasy. But it is on my Christmas list ^.^
* TRENO *
Blank: Boss, what are we doing here? It's Christmas Eve. Shouldn't we be back at the hideout eating chilidogs or something?
Cinna: Yum. Christmas chilidogs…
Baku: No! We're here on official Tantalus business. Although those chilidogs are good…
Marcus: So what exactly is this "official" business?
Baku: Uh, well, it's- * whispers official business to Blank, Marcus and Cinna *
Blank: What!? Uh-uh. There's no way I'm doing that!
Marcus: Count me out.
Cinna: Well, it might be kinda fun. Spreading Christmas cheer. Putting smiles on all those kids' faces…
Blank and Marcus: Are you crazy!?
Cinna: No. At least I don't think so.
Baku: Shut up. We're doing this. It'll earn us some extra Gil. We need it. Our interpretation of the Nutcracker wasn't as successful as we had hoped.
Blank: * whispers sarcastically to Marcus * Yeah, I thought that Baku prancing around in a pink, frilly tutu would have sold lots of tickets…
* TRENO MALL *
* DRESSING ROOM *
Baku: Alright boys. Come on out. Let's see how you look.
Marcus: Do we have to come out?
Baku: Yes. Now get your asses out here!
* Marcus and Cinna step out of their change rooms *
Marcus: I'm scarred for life.
Cinna: I can't believe I'm doing this.
Marcus: I thought you were the one who thought this was a good idea.
Cinna: Yeah, but that was before I saw this costumes.
Baku: Gwahahaha! You two make great elves!
Marcus: These shoes are ten times bigger then my feet!
Cinna: Not to mention they curl at the toe! Very uncomfortable.
Baku: Deal with it. We still need our Santa. Blank, get your ass out here.
Blank: No way, Boss. Not in this outfit.
Cinna: Come on, Blank. It can't be any worse then ours.
Blank: Wanna bet?
Cinna: Sure.
* change room door opens. Blank steps out *
Cinna: I stand corrected.
* Cinna and Marcus burst out laughing *
* CENTER OF MALL *
Baku: Come get your pictures taken with Santa! Only 2500 Gil!
Marcus: Boss, why don't you have to where a goofy costume?
Baku: Well, because, I, uh, I'm the sales man. They never where goofy costumes.
Cinna: You haven't seen the ones I have.
Blank: * is sitting in Santa chair, complete with padded stomach, white beard, and a red suit * Some kid better come. This isn't worth anything.
Marcus: Oh yes it is. It's worth it just to see you wearing that outfit.
* Cinna and Marcus start snickering *
Blank: * sarcastic * I'm glad you're having a good time.
Baku: Hmm, I wonder why nobody's coming? Maybe I should lower the price. Come get your picture with Santa! Only 2499 Gil!
Cinna, Marcus, and Blank: * sweatdrop *
Marcus: Somehow I don't think any kids will be coming soon…
* two hours later *
Baku: Picture? With… Santa? Only 400… Gil?
Marcus: * snoring *
Cinna: No kids have come yet Boss. Can't we just leave now?
Baku: No. We must make some Gil.
Blank: Come on Boss, I'm dying in this costume.
Baku: Five more minutes. …Get your picture taken with the real Santa! 10 Gil!
Old Man With Cane: * hobbles over to Baku * The real Santa you say?
Baku: Uh, yeah. He just arrived from the North Pole this morning.
Old Man With Cane: I've been waiting 75 years to meet him. Here, I'll give you 5000 Gil. Where is he?
Baku: Uh, right over there.
Blank: B-boss? Uh, w-w-
Old Man With Cane: * throws cane to side * * runs over and sits on Blank's knee *
Blank: o-0;; (Help! A wacko is sitting on me!)
Old Man Without Cane: Hello Santa. Let's see, I want a new cane because I just threw away my old one, a new pair of glasses, oh Santa, you look just like all the pictures, a bottle of gyshal pickles, they're my favorite you know, a new-
Baku and Cinna: o-0;;
Cinna: I think this is a good time to say, merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
