CHAPTER 10: By Golly! It's Santa!!
Mr. Bun was tired and just wanted to sleep. Susie had turned him into
various animals. A dog (to hunt Calvin down with his nose), a horse (so
she could ride on him when she got tired), and a hawk (so he could fly
around and look for Calvin). So far, the two weren't having any luck
finding Calvin. Mr. Bun was now back to his normal form and he was happy
and didn't want to be any other creature.
"Mr. Bun... I'm afraid we aren't going to find the boy on our own. We
need some help," said Susie.
"I concur with you. We aren't getting anywhere. The only thing we found
was a raccoon and he took off before we could ask him any questions,"
replied the oversized rabbit.
"I still say that raccoon was hiding something from us. Too bad we
couldn't find him after he raced off. Hmmmmm... what can we do about
this? We can go get some creatures on OUR side to help us. We shall build
an army to battle Hobbes' army."
"I don't think Hobbes has an army together at the moment," sighed Mr.
Bun.
"That is good. But Hobbes can gather animals on his way to the Snowball
Castle and form an army that way. He has ALWAYS done that. Somehow they
were all excellent fighters and always won a battle. Remember the Snow
Fight Battle? That was a very interesting battle. That is one of the
reasons why I got rid of snow. I despise it. Anyway... we MUST capture
Hobbes as well."
"And what about the beaver?"
"We will need her to be an example so the boy doesn't talk. I already
have an idea for the tiger."
Meanwhile, the three travelers were awake and hiking towards their
destination. Near the Slushball River they ran into Santa, who was just
getting ready to take off again.
"SANTA!! I'm so HAPPY to see you! Where are my presents?!" asked Calvin
excitedly but impatiently.
"Relax, my boy! I have your presents, along with Hobbes' and Terena's,
right here," laughed Santa. "But I should check my list first to see if
you have been good this year."
"You should give him his presents even if he has been bad. We all need
some presents that will help us out in battle," Hobbes said to Santa.
"Hmmm... I see. Let me check to see what I have." Santa dug through his
bag and pulled out a sword, a flamethrower, and a snowball gun. "Here you
all go."
Santa handed Terena the sword. Calvin got the flamethrower and Hobbes got
the snowball gun.
"Excuse me, sir, but... what does my present do?" asked Hobbes.
"It fires snowballs out at people," replied Santa with a laugh. "Are you
okay, lad?" Santa looked at Calvin, who looked as if he was going to cry.
"Yes... it's... just that I... ALWAYS wanted a... flamethrower. I will
use this wisely, Santa, for the battle, but when I get home...
heheheheheh."
"Don't do anything foolish, boy," said Santa, frowning. "It might get you
into trouble."
"Okay. Oh... and thank you," said Calvin.
"You're welcome! Now I must be going. I have to attend to the White
Witch's castle. I have to leave her a couple of dolls and some coal.
Well... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!"
The three waved at Santa as he headed for Susie's castle.
