A Pilot Candidate Christmas Carol

The Sprit of Christmas and Present

"Good! Maybe now I can get some sleep."

"I think you maybe wrong on that part Hiead." For the first time of the evening a more feminine voice appeared. He looked up to see the cat-eared repairer. "Enna's little deformed repairer. What are you doing on this side of G.O.A.?"

"I not deformed and I am not Kizna. She has a name." She said a little more like her living counterpart. "I am the Ghost of Christmas Present," She said.

"You have got to be kidding me. I told Enna not to bother me anymore and now his disrespectful repairer shows up. In my room, of all places." His voice monotoned. "I going to kill him."

"Well, lets go." She said, twirling what looked to be a wand. Swishing it in her hand, the two were taken to Ikhny, Kizna, and Saki's Dorm Room at the other end of G.O.A.

"Hey! You think I should get Zero this?" They were looking at a catalog. Kizna pointed at an alarm clock. (The Repairers are deciding on last minute gift to give their Candidates)

"Yeah, that would be a great gift. Cause he's always late." Saki giggled along with the other girls. "How 'bout this for Clay?" She pointed at a new pocket set of pens.

"Hey Ikhny!" She shouted across the room bringing the girl back to reality. "Your not getting Hiead anything, are you?" She give her that don't-think-about-it look she was so good at.

"I want to get him something." She sighed. Not knowing what to do.

"Why would you do a stupid think like that?" She sighed in anger. "You know he's heartless. He wouldn't care." Kizna said. Ikhny was silent. She knew all to well that Kizna was right.

"Anyway, off the nasty subject." Hiead sneered. "What do you want for Christmas, Ikhny?" Saki smiled.

"Umm... This." She pointed in the catalog.

"Wow! The Star Necklace. That's so pretty." Kizna squiled.

"Well, Let's place the orders in. It says it should be here by tomorrow morning. That's fast." Saki said.

"I'll take the order to the G.O.A. mail office." Kizna said taking the paper and running out of the room.

"Let's follow. Shall we?" The Spirit following Kizna down the hall.

"Where the hell does she think she going? The mail office is that way." Hiead pointed down the other hall.

"Just watch." She said pointing to the dorm were candidate's 87, 88, and 89 currently occupied. Kizna keyed in the code (That Zero gave her. Just in case), and walked over to Zero's bed. Zero had a big smile on his face. Like a little kid on Christmas Day.

"Zero…Zero.." She whispered, trying to not to wake the others up.

"She can't be in a candidates room. It's forbidden." Hiead noted.

"Zero!" This time she was a little more harsh.

"Just a few more minutes, Mom..." Zero said in sleep and turned over.

"Mom?" Kizna looked at him. She was a little ticked. She kicked him out of bed and hoped that his loud thud would not wake everyone.

"What do you think your doing?!" She shouted and looked up at his attacker. "What the..Kizna? What are you doing in the boys dorm?" his eyes were wide with shock and confusion.

"Shh… Not so loud. You wanna get us both in trouble? Lets go out into the hallway." She said removing her hand from his mouth.

"So what do you want?" He said outside the door.

"How much money do you have saved?" She asked rather bluntly.

"I don't know. Why?"

"Because I want you to buy this for Ikhny." She said pointing at the neck lace in the catalog.

"What! Why?" She covered his mouth. He was anger that she woke him from a perfectly good sleep to pester him for cash.

"Look! Hiead isn't going to buy her anything. I don't have enough. Please pitch in. Please?" She asked in an irresistible way. She lifted her hand from his mouth.

"Fine." He said looking away from the puppy-dog eyes she was giving him.

"Ahh. Thank you so much, Zero." She shouted and glomped him. She quickly let go and ran off to the mail office.

"Enna is so gullible." Hiead floated next to the Spirit of Christmas present.

"Shut up! Unlike you, Zero has a heart. This girl Ikhny must be very important to these people. Since they want to make one day of her life a little happy." She said.

"Allecto is nothing. She is weak and always will be." He crossed his arms.

"You could show a little bit of kindness to her."

"No. I couldn't!"

"THAT'S IT!" She screamed. Making herself 10 ft tall, with lighting coming out of nowhere, "I'VE TRIED TO CHANGE YOU, BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK! YOU'LL NEVER HAVE A HEART! MAYBE THE SPIRIT OF THE FUTURE WILL CHANGE THAT! IF YOU THOUGHT THIS WASN'T SCARY, THAN JUST YOU WAIT HIEAD GNR! THIS IS NOT THE END. IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE YOU WILL REMAIN HEARTLESS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!" She said in a roaring voice. "Good Bye!" she regained her composer and with a bolt of lighting she disappeared. Hiead found himself once again in his room.

"Hn." he said with a smirk. "I am to remain Heartless for the rest of my life, eh? Than so be it." He went back to sleep.



To be continued.

Author's notes: :: Apologetically Bows:: I am SO sorry. School caught up to me again and I went to New Jersey for Christmas. I know it's January, but I am going to finish. Thanks to my friend Neko-chan and her friend IkhnyGnr.

Next Time: "Christmas Future" Hiead just seems to be tempting the fates these days. If he doesn't at least try to change he will end up a lonely soul forever. Or is that what he wants? Maybe the next spirit can change his ways. But, whose form will it take? See you next time on PCCC!
