THE XMAS ANIME SHOW
By Ninetalesuk

***DAY 11: Continue the Play***

(Since the first day of rehearsal, the play looked like it was doomed since there was a slight mishap between Davis, Slowbro and deciding what noise a sheep makes. Today, the actors and actresses are doing better. All except a couple of problems that Knuckles would fear)

Ash: Innkeeper, do you have a room where we stay?

Slowbro: Yes.

Knuckles: No... Joseph and Mary goes into a stable where Jesus is born. Say 'no'!

(And so, again...)

Ash: Innkeeper, do you have a room where we stay?

Slowbro: Yes.

Knuckles: No!

(And again...)

Ash: Innkeeper!!! Do you have a stinking room where we stay?!

Slowbro: Yes.

Knuckles: No, no, no, NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

(And again... And again... And again... And again... Until Knuckles decided to practise with the three Wise Kings, whom were none other than Tai, Joey and Inumon).

Tai: Hey, Knuckles. A question.

Knuckles: Yeah...?
Tai: Well... These Wise Kings, do they have any names?

Knuckles: Of course they do!

Inumon: Then, what are the king's names?

Knuckles: They... They are.... I forgot. ^^;

(Anime drop from Tai, Joey and Inumon)

Joey: Thats a lotta help...

Knuckles: Listen, why not NAME the kings yourselves?

Tai: Good idea. I am Taius!

Joey: Yeah, and I am Joeius!

Inumon: And I an Inuius!

Knuckles: *Blinks* Taius, Joeius and Inuius... Okay... Right! Get into stages! What I want you to do is walk forward, introduce yourselves and thats it!

Inumon: Thats it?

Knuckles: Yeah... Until I figure what you should do next...

Inumon: Kay... -_-U

(Tai, Joey and Inumon left. After a few seconds, they walked back towards Knuckles, each holding a box as if it is a gift)

Tai: Greetings, I am Taius!

Joey: And I am Joeius!

Inumon: And I am....... AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Knuckles: AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH....? I thought he called himself Inuius?

Tai: He did... He just fell down a hole...

(Indeed he did, Inumon fell down into a hole that was left by...)

Diglett: Dig! Dig! Diglett!

Dugtrio: Dugtrio Trio Trio!

Knuckles: Oh vay... -_-U

Inumon: Ow....

***DAY 12: Third Meeting***

Knuckles: OK, people. Third and final meeting in place before the big day comes at the 21st. In eleven days time, we will put on a stage for all the people to enjoy. Item one, apologies for absence.

Davis: Yeah, I have a note from the last meeting to say that Episo can't be with us today.

(There was one tiny flaw with that note...)

Episo: Why can't I be with you? What have I done?

(.... That's right. Episo is here)

Knuckles: Episo, you SAID you couldn't be here with us.

Episo: I did? Where am I meant to be then?

Knuckles: You... I mean... I.... Ah, forget it! Item two!

Yolei: Well, item two is asking if the play is okay?

James: Yes, the play is fine. Although, I am happy to play as Herod, I am not happy to play as the bad guy.

Divinemon: Gee, what a shock(!) This is coming from the guy whom was a bad guy during the Pokemon series.

James: Hmph. Just for once, I want to be a good guy so... *Hands Jessie a sheet of paper* I typed up a short scene that will show the nicer side of Herod.

Tristan: Nicer side of Herod? Just like the playful side of Yami Marik?

James: Exactly. Read it, Jessie.

Jessie: Right... *Reading* 'Herod strokes his adoring Eevee, Cuddles then turns to two soldiers. Herod says "Soldiers, take a battalion of men to Judaea and kiss all the babies there." Soldier One: "Did he say KISS all the babies?" Soldier Two (who is slightly hard of hearing): No, I thought he said KILL all the babies." Soldier One: "Oh right, well let's go and massacre them then. *Looks at James* Baka...

James: You don't like it?

Jessie: No.

James: Aww...

Knuckles: *Sigh* Moving on... Item three, news on tickets. Joey, any news about them?

Joey: You want the long words or short words?

Knuckles: Short words, please...

Joey: Right... Selling tickets aren't going very well.

Yolei: What?! You haven't sold out?!

Joey: We haven't sold any...

Davis: You haven't sold any tickets yet?!

Joey: Calm down. Calm down. Just don't panic, it could be worse.

Davis: What is worst than not selling any tickets at all?

Joey: Well, selling one ticket. But selling it to Dr Eggman!

Tristan: Yeah, thats right! Who will come up to us, kill us with his robots and leave us all in a pool of blood!

Knuckles: *Wearily* Does anyone actually have Eggman's address?

Divinemon: This is bad! We only have eleven days left and yet. the tickets were out three days ago.

Davis: Guess they don't know about it. I asked Takato if he got the ticket and he said he doesn't even know about it being out yet. I wonder why...

Divinemon: OK... Whom are the ones who were selling the tickets?

Knuckles: No, Divinemon. Joey and Tristan are selling the tickets at a box office. The buyers are suppose to come unless they notice a sign like TV adverts or fliers or something... I gave it to the Chaotix Crew.

Divinemon: Chaotix!

Vector, Episo, Mighty: Yes?

Divinemon: Let me check with you something... You designed the fliers, right?

Vector, Episo, Mighty: Yes.

Divinemon: You printed the fliers?

Vector, Episo, Mighty: Yes.

Divinemon: You handed out the fliers?

Vector, Episo, Mighty: ....................... We will be right back!

(Before anyone knew it, there was a mix of colour blur from the Chaotix as they ran out)

Divinemon: Problem solved!

Knuckles: I am really tempted to bring Eggman in... Does anyone have his telephone number?
