Bah Humbug

Author's Note: This is just my random insanity that I'm writing during free periods at school. It may or may not get finished before Christmas, depends on how I feel about it or what kind of reviews it gets.

Our story opens with a young woman sitting at a desk. Before her on the desk are stacks and stacks of cards and envelopes along with stamps, return address labels and an address book. Christmas music is playing in the back ground.
"Let's see...This was where he was last time I tracked him down...I dunno if he's still there...Curse that Chimera!!! Can't he just accept the fact that he's doomed to look like that? How my s'posed to invite him to my party without an address? Grr...Stupid Slayers, no permanent addresses...Hmm...Xellos...Xellos..." She flips through the pages of the book, searching for the entry bearing the address for Wolfpack Island.
"Hey, take a break, Blayde. You don't have to invite every one, you know." Reianna is behind her stringing lights on the Christmas tree. "Mellow out. Have some eggnog."
"I want them all to come...I need to finish. I wish Zelgadis weren't so...so..."
"Obsessive?"
"No..."
"Anti-social?"
"No, now your confusing him with Wufei..."
"Dumb?"
"Maybe...He hasn't figured out just how much every one likes him how he is, so I guess you could say that..."
"How many more do you have to do?"
"Well...I've done Amelia's family and Zangulus, sent one to Lina's sister and to the Gabrievs, but neither Lina nor Gourry goes home on a regular basis so I don't know if they'll get them. Sylphiel and Filia both already RSVPed and they're coming. Filia's bringing little Val with her. But it's hard trying to track the rest down."
"Boy, you shouldn't procrastinate so much...I sent my party invitations out a while ago. All the boys are coming, so are Hilde, Sally and Noin."
"No Relena?"
"Hell no! I didn't even invite her." Rei steps back to admire her work. The tree looks splendid, done up all in purple and red lights with silver tinsel and little star ornaments. "Who exactly are you still trying to mail them to besides Zelgadis and Xellos anyway?"
"Well...Phibrizzo and Dolphin. Milgasia -nobody seems to care about him so I thought it'd be nice- and I wouldn't mind having Dynast. Then of course Xellos and Zel. Unfortunately, they're all really hard to contact because they don't stay put for very long. All this is giving me a headache..." Blayde lays her head on the desk, a chewed up pen in her hand.
"Give it a rest then. Go out and get some shopping done. Finish later. Or better yet, I'll look for ways to find them for you."
"Okay..." She stands up and stretches, "I have been here for five hours doing this...I could use some fresh air."
Blayde goes and picks up her leather jacket from where it lay discarded on the bed. The dorm she and Reianna share is small and cluttered, but it's home. As college freshmen, they couldn't ask for much more and how they would cram all those people in for a party had never occurred to either girl.
"Well, I'll be back in a while." Blayde wraps her scarf around her neck and heads out the door.
Rei sits down at the desk. "This is insane. I still don't know how she met up with all them in the first place..."
