A.N.: Since I'm in the Christmas spirit, I figured, not only would I send
y'all cards, but I'd give ya a holiday related chapter. Enjoy!
"Raph, the red-banned turtle," Lenni sang.
"Turtle," Daydream echoed.
"Has a very bad temper," Lenni went on.
"Temper," Ziptango shouted.
"Then all the turtles teased him," Lenni continued, skipping ahead to the end.
"Teased him," Danceingfae piped up.
"As I showered him with love," Lenni added.
"With love!" Raphielle screamed.
"Hey, what's this 'bout me having a bad temper and showering me with love?" Raphael demanded as he entered the den. "Who's showering me with love?"
"ME!" Lenni, Raphielle, and HexAdecimal all shrieked.
Raphael rolled his eyes. "I need help."
"I need somebody," Lenni began.
"Help," the others sang.
"Oh, I need somebody."
"Help." "Quit your singing already, will ya?" Raphael snapped. "You're giving me a damn headache."
The six writers giggled as they fell onto the floor.
"What's with them?" tmnt-luver, Mily, and TygerOfTheWynd asked in unison.
"Being stupid," Raphael muttered.
"Hey!" The six on the floor cried. "We are not!"
"Who wants to decorate the tree?" Michaelangelo queried, coming in with boxes of ornaments in his hands.
"ME!" Lorelai_Anastasia, Streetwyse, and TMNTPunker shout, running after him.
"Hey! Wait up!" Machias says, coming in with more boxes.
*Splinter, Lady_Dakaina, and cartoon-drawer follow behind Machias*
"Whoa," Deana says. "Enough Christmas decorations?"
"Nope, there's never enough," Michaelangelo replies, setting his boxes down on the floor next to the tree. "You can never have too many decorations."
"That's what he thinks," Raphael grumbles.
"What's that Raph?" sTaNs_GoDdEsS says. "You wanna help decorate the lair?"
"Cool dude," Michaelangelo exclaims, then throws him some lights. "You can put those up."
*Raphael glares at sTaNs_GoDdEsS*
"We're back!" Brinatello yells.
*Donatello, Lana, sss979, Mazza2869, and Skully come in after her, all carrying bags of gifts*
"You will NOT believe how much of a madhouse it is up there," Skully tells them. "It's absolutely crazy!"
"What's crazy?" Lone_Wolfette wants to know. "Other than Mikey with his ornaments."
"The malls," Mazza2869 answers. "I almost became a damn stuffed animal thanks to some greedy shoppers."
"Whoever said Christmas is a time to be nice to your fellow man, was wrong," sss979 states. "The people up there have so totally forgotten how to be nice."
*Lana disappears to go wrap her gifts*
"Good thing we did a kinda Secret Santa thing," ButtercupJewel pipes up from her spot on the couch. "I'd be going crazy if I had to buy gifts for EVERYONE here."
"Me too," I-hope-FF.Net-burns-in-hell comments. "I'd be broke in two seconds flat."
*Sailor_Vegta, ShadowShock, Chiyou_Tenshi, BlackLadyCharon, & Sasami drag Leo out of the practice room and into the den*
"Look who we found practicing on Christmas Eve," ShadowShock tells everyone.
"As you can see," Sasami began, "we had to literally drag him outta there."
*Master Splinter enters room & everyone bows to show their respect, except Daydream, Lenni, Ziptango, Danceingfae, Raphielle, and HexAdecimal*
"Why have you six not shown me respect?" Master Splinter demands calmly.
"Frosty the snowman, was a jolly happy soul," they sing. "With a corn cob pipe, and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal."
"Frosty the snowman, is a fairytale they say," cartoon-drawer, Brinatello, and Deana sang. "He was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day."
"There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found," ButtercupJewel, Mazza2869, sss979, and Leonardo added. "For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around."
"Frosty the snowman, knew the sun was hot that day," Lone_Wolfette, sTaNs_GoDdEsS, Sailor_Vegeta, I-hope-FF.Net-burns-in-hell, and ShadowShock continued. "So he said, let's run and we'll have some fun, now before I melt away."
"Down through the village, with a broomstick in his hand," Skully, Lady_Dakaina, Splinter, and TMNTPunker went on. "Running here and there, all around the square, saying catch me if you can."
"He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop," Machias, Donatello, Streetwyse, Lorelai_Anastasia, and TygerOfTheWynd piped up. "And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler, STOP!"
"Frosty the snowman, had to hurry on his way," Mily, Michaelangelo, and Arista_Niara finished. "So he waved good-bye, saying, don't cry, I'll be back again some day.
"Thumpity, thump, thump. Thumpity, thump, thump. Look at Frosty go," everyone sang. "Thumpity, thump, thump. Thumpity, thump, thump. Over the hills of snow."
*Once they'd finished singing, Master Splinter glared at the six who had deliberately ignored his earlier question*
"Do certain people need a trip to my study, to be taught a lesson on respect?" Master Splinter asked. "I would not like to have to do that on Christmas Eve."
*Daydream, Lenni, Danceingfae, Ziptango, HexAdecimal, and Raphielle shrugged, then bowed while rolling their eyes*
*Raphael chuckles, as he puts a set of lights up by the ladder*
"Suckers," he mutters.
"We heard that!" The six shout.
"Ooh. I'm SO scared," Raphael replies, pretending to shudder.
"You'd better be," Danceingfae responds. "Or you'll be very sorry sooner than you think."
"Ah, leave the poor guy alone," Leonardo puts in. "He's the one getting a lump of coal for Christmas, not us, remember?"
"WHAT?!?!" Lenni, HexAdecimal, and Raphielle shriek. "NO! HE CAN'T GET A LUMP OF COAL!"
"Why not?" sss979 says. "He's been naughty all year 'round. Sarcastic too."
"Have not," Raphael growls. "Also, you'll be getting my lump of coal Leo. Why? 'Cause you're too damn perfect, that's why."
"No," Lenni giggles. "Master Splinter will get the lump of coal for making us bow when we don't want to."
*Daydream, Danceingfae, Ziptango, HexAdecimal, and Raphielle giggle as well*
"That wasn't funny, Dudettes," Michaelangelo says. "Jeez. Not even Machias or Splinter laughed at that one, and they're the mean ones."
"Hey!" Machias and Splinter exclaim. "We are not!"
*They stick their tongues out at him*
*Master Splinter glares at the six giving him a hard time*
"Daydream, Lenni, Danceingfae, Ziptango, HexAdecimal, and Raphielle, my study," he says sternly. "Now."
*They glare back at him, but go to his study anyway*
*Once in the study Master Splinter begins to lecture them*
"You six have done nothing but give me headaches this past month," he says. "I am very disappointed in all of you."
"So what?" Lenni snaps. "Point being?"
"Yeah," Raphielle speaks up. "Point?"
*The others nod their agreement*
"I think three of you have been hanging with Raphael much too long," he says, glaring at Lenni, HexAdecimal, and Raphielle. "And the rest of you have been hanging around the three Raphael lovers too much."
"So what are you saying?" Danceingfae demands. "That we can't be friends with whoever we want 'cause you don't like the way they act?"
"I never said that, my child," Master Splinter replicates. "I simply said, I do not think Lenni, Hex, and Raphielle have been good influences. But, then again, Ziptango has been driving me crazy, by clinging too Donatello all this time."
"Hey, I love him, alright?" Ziptango retorts. "I can't help it if he's irresistible!"
"Enough," Master Splinter orders. "I really hate to have to do this on Christmas Eve, but you have all equally earned it."
*They stand up & turn around, only to be spanked repeatedly*
"You six shall receive lumps of coal in your stockings, instead of gifts," he states. "I will see to it that my statement is carried out promptly."
*The six writers dash out on the study in tears, more upset about the lumps of coal, than the spankings*
"Hey, Lenni, what's wrong?" Raphael asks, concerned for once.
"M.Master Splinter said.said we're getting.getting coal," she wailed. "It's not.not fair!"
*She threw herself into Raphael's open arms, as he'd known she'd need comfort*
"Hey, don't cry," Raphael says. "You won't get coal, I promise."
"But.but.he said.he said." Lenni trails off, unable to finish her sentence.
*Raphael pulls HexAdecimal & Raphielle into the hug*
*Donatello comes over and hugs Ziptango, for once, not minding having her arms around him*
*Michaelangelo hugs Daydream & Danceingfae in the meantime*
*Leonardo hugs TMNTPunker, as he doesn't want to be left out*
"Why are you hugging me?" She asks. "I'm not in trouble."
"Would you rather I didn't?" Leonardo queries.
"Let go of me and die," TMNTPunker states, hugging him tighter.
*Leonardo smiles and kisses TMNTPunker's head*
*Next morning.*
"OH MY GOD!" HexAdecimal shrieks. "I GOT GIFTS!"
"NO COAL! NO COAL! NO COAL!" Ziptango and Danceingfae sing. "WE GOT NO COAL!"
"WHOO-HOO!" Daydream yelps, running around the lair with her stocking clutched to her chest.
"SAIS!" Raphielle screams excitedly. "THANK-YOU SANTA! THANK-YOU!"
*Lenni runs over and hugs Raphael, who, amazingly, returns the hug*
"Thanks Raph," she whispers. "It means a whole lot to me, that you went against Sensei's orders."
"For you, anytime Kiddo, anytime," Raphael smiles softly, before kissing the top of her head.
"Caroling time!" Michaelangelo exclaims excitedly.
"Here, I wrote this," Donatello says. "Lana helped."
*They all begin to sing*
"We wish you a Whale Christmas! We wish you a Whale Christmas! We wish you a Whale Christmas! And a Happy New Squid! Good tidings we bring, to you and your squid! Good tidings for a Whale Christmas, and a Happy New Squid!"
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT," Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michaelangelo state, hugging the same girls as before, plus a few others. "HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY EVERYONE!"
A.N.: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody! May the New Year bring you more joy than unpleasantness! Peace out! Be cool, Be real, & Behave! KTBSPA & KTNTPA & KTACPA & KTJTPA & KTKCPA & KTCPA & KTJTTPA!!!!! ~~~ Lenni ~~~
