FY TRIP TO SIX FLAGS!
Part Twenty-One!!
Also known as: The Christmas Special Posted in the Middle of January Because the Author Is Lazy and Tired and Was Working but Is Now Jobless.
Disclaimer: I don't own Santa Claus! Honest!
A/N: Gomen nasai, minna-san! ^__^. Well, I have no real excuses. Well, okay. It's Christmas/Winter Break. I wanna play! (
(Me too. We just finished finals, after all...so we deserved a break!)
Yeah. What she said! ^__^.
(*rolls eyes* Well, we are also addicted to Final Fantasy VII)
*twitches* Cloud must die.
(Yeah...We want to know why you can't just kill Cloud off and then HELP Sephiroth destroy the planet.)
Erm...Yeah. But back to the topic!
(*sighs* Hai, hai...)
In the past 1.5 months, we have made incredible discoveries!
1. animepavilion.com and cartoonpassion.com are two great, low-priced, reliable anime sites! Not DVDs, persay, but plushies, cards, CDs, etc.
2. When you work at Crabtree and Evelyn, don't have better sales than the manager, because she'll freak thinking that you're after her job and fire you.
3. Falling in love with your boyfriend may make it harder to sleep at night. Yes, this IS a shout out if I can get him to read this: I love you, Vincent! ^-^.
4. Anime is good. We highly recommend Saiyuki. IT ROX.
5. Pleather is hard to sew, but I am making a Yoji costume!!
(okay. Enough, Moeru!)
*grins* Hai, Kurayami-chan!
(*grits teeth* Oh, and our car is broken.)
But we're going to Anime Central 2004 in May anyways! Wai!
(*wanders off muttering about how to harm Moeru if she keeps rambling*)
Also! Thank you for the happiness at my last update, The One And Only Natsume!
Also, to Eikou: Don't worry about being a minimalist at 1am in reviews. It's 2:08 am and Im up writing this. I will NEVER figure out why, but that's okay. ^__^.
Thank you again for a wonderful review, Kitty Lynne! And please update soon! ^__^. (and Im sorry if I'm copying your Tasuki-speak, but it helps...gomen!)
One more thing before the recap! - I enjoy all of the cameos that I got requests for! Wow! Do that many people even READ this? Geez! ^______^. In other words, I'm doing something to squeeze them all into this chapter!!! I have your fave characters and the one description I was given, which is all good. One person also gave me a scenario, but I'm sorry, I'm not going to use it because I feel that it puts the character you wanted OUT of character, but otherwise the idea was sound and amusing! So, don't worry. You'll steal deal with candy!! ^__^.
Recap!: Tamahome is getting chewed on - not out - by Miaka. Suboshi got smushed for insulting Hotohori, and is being cared for by Yui and her magic first aid kit from the depths of her pink fanny-pack. Soi, Tomo, Nuriko, and Hotohori are in the gift shop. Amiboshi is off playing for the band. Chiriko and Mitsukake are playing the various carnival games and winning big time. Nakago has just now realized that he is not being fawned over. Ph34r his l4ck of f4wning! Er...sorry. Too much Megatokyo! Tasuki and Chichiri are wandering around. So! I think that's everyone!!! Let's go!
~*~
Nuriko stirred, opening his eyes, and found himself nose to nose with Hotohori, who then...
* (heh. Bet you HATE that...)
Nakago rose from the bench, tossing his empty cotton candy cone into the nearest trash receptacle and went in search of his personal fan club entourage, nearly knocking over a cute little girl in overalls chased by an old bag.
Ignoring Tamahome's cries of pain as Miaka munched merrily on his fingers, he strode off to the gift shop. Theme parks always had ostentatious trinkets, and where there were ostentatious trinkets, there was Tomo. And, lately, where there was Tomo, there was Soi.
*
"Where are we going, no da?" Chichiri asked as Tasuki towed him along the paths of games, away from the fried Tamahome.
"'Che!" the bandit said. "We're goin' away from the *beeping* obake!"
Suddenly, they came to a halt as they saw...
*
Yui hugged Suboshi, who seemed to be in heaven about the whole deal.
"Are you okay now, Suboshi?" she asked, pulling away and stuffing the first aid kit back into her fanny-pack.
Suboshi grinned and nodded. "Yeah! And I still have the picture!"
Rather triumphantly, he held up the unwrinkled Polaroid of Hotohori, Nuriko, and the giant Ninja Teddy Bear.
Yui smiled, wondering if she could get Chiriko to post it on kounankoku.com.
*
Tamahome managed to pry Miaka off of his fingers and start crawling for safety, self-suffering tears streaming down his face.
Why me? Why me? I could be making lots of money, but no, here I am, being eaten alive by my girlfriend! Why me?
Miaka shook her head and stared at Tamahome, then said, in her best little girl voice. "Tamahome, where are you going? You promised that you'd be with me forever!"
*
(Ooh, nice dose of guilt. Thank God she didn't cry again.)
He says "You're Welcome."
(...Shut up and type, smart mouth.)
^__^.
*
Nuriko stirred, opening his eyes, and found himself nose to nose with Hotohori, who then...
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Chichiri popped in between the nose to nose seishi.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Nuriko screamed, smacking the chibi-Chichiri with the giant Ninja Teddy Bear.
Chichiri flew into the wall. "Itai no da..."
"Ch-Chichiri..." Hotohori said as he pulled first Nuriko and then the monk to his feet while Tomo and Soi sweatdropped and tried to hide from Nakago's impending approach through the gift shop door. "What are you doing, scaring people like that?"
"Because no da!" Chichiri poofed back to normal size. "I found Santa Claus no da!"
"Santa?" Nakago said from behind them. Soi and Tomo jumped guiltily. "Hmpf. Santa does not exist."
""Che! Of course he does!" said Tasuki, coming in behind the blonde. "There ya are, 'Chiri! Are we gonna go meet th' guy or not?"
"Shanta...Kurasu?" Soi repeated.
Tomo laughed. "Kakakakakakakakakaka....Why not? I'll ask for some nail files..."
*
Trooping out of the gift shop (without buying any of the over-priced goodies, much to the cashier's dismay.), they cringed as Miaka delivered blow after blow of verbal guilt to Tamahome.
"...And that's another thing! You always say that you'll take care of me, and yet when I'm hungry, you complain about the money! You don't love me more than money! You want me to starve to death and - "
"Miaka!" Yui said, grabbing her friend. "Calm down! You're drawing a crowd!"
"Drawing a croud?" Miaka asked, taking up an easel and pointing at a sketch.
Yui sighed. "No, Miaka, that's not what I meant."
"She means that you're attracting attention, Miaka-chan!" Nuriko said, touching Miaka lightly on the nose in a playful manner.
"Oh," Miaka said, then tried to argue her point. "But Tamahome doesn't love me more than his money!"
Yui shook her head sadly, and was about to speak when Chichiri interrupted.
"Miaka, I found Santa, no da!"
Miaka's green eyes got very big and very shiny.
"Santa Claus?" Tamahome said, looking confused.
"Yeah! He's a great big guy who delivers lots'a presents around th' world!" Tasuki said, hauling Tamahome to his feet.
It was Tamahome's turn to get shiny eyes. "Free stuff! Yes!Jackpot!"
He tried to take off running with a sack, but was stopped by Nuriko's hand on his collar.
Nuriko tsked softly. "Santa only gives presents on Christmas, Tama-kins, and then only to people who've been good."
Nakago frowned. He was doing good. So why didn't he ever get any presents from Santa?
Soi and Tomo fawned all over Nakago, their hair smoking slightly from the chi-blast punishment they'd taken earlier.
Suboshi whooped excitedly. "Let's go! I'll tell Amiboshi!" He proceeded to write on his arm.
Hotohori smiled. "I'd like to meet Santa...and thank him for all of the mirrors that reflect my beauty."
Everyone except Nuriko sweatdropped.
"Let's go, no da!" Chichiri said impatiently.
*
They all trooped into Christmas Town, their eyes wide, but were promptly stopped by a tall, handsome-looking man with small sunglasses, a black suit, and an in-the-ear radio.
"Who are you and what do you want with the Santa?" he asked. He was wearing a silver nametag decorated with candy canes. It said: 'Kagato, Head of Santa's Secret Service'.
Yui and Miaka stepped forward, their eyes wide and innocent. "We...we want to sit in Santa;s lap," Yui said. Miaka nodded.
Chiriko tugged on Kagato's jacket. "Me, too! I want to meet Santa!"
Mitsukake placed a protective hand on Chiriko's shoulder and smiled silently at Kagato.
Kagato looked them all over, then moved away to speak into his sleeve, then returned. "Very well. You may see Santa, sit on his lap, and have your picture taken with him. But no troubles, or else."
It was very to hard to look threatening when your nametag had candy canes on it, Chichiri thought as they all nearly ran past the man to the line to meet Santa. As an afterthought, he mentally added; no da.
*
They were waiting in line when Amiboshi caught up to them, grinning. "We won the orchestra thing!"
Suboshi glomped his brother, sending them both crashing into the ground. "Yay! That's great! Now we can meet Santa together, right, Yui-chan?"
Yui smiled at them. "Hai, Suboshi."
Miaka tugged at Tamahome's arm, ad he sighed, handing over a five-dollar bill, and she ran to the popcorn vendor.
"Aww, how cute," Tasuki snickered.
Tamahome glared at him, and was about to say something when Chiriko spoke.
"Tasuki? What are you going to ask Santa for?"
Tasuki tilted his head to one side, thinking about it. "Hmmm...ya know, Chiriko, that's a good question! I wan'...That's it!" He grinned widely and snapped his fingers. "I'm gonna ask him fer a big box of fire crackers!"
Chichiri sweatdropped at Tasuki's victorious pose. "Anou....that might be dangerous, no da!"
"Nah!" said Tasuki. "They'd be fun!"
Tamahome laughed. "No way, the best thing to ask for is..." There was a long, dramatic pause. "Money!"
Everyone just kind of looked at him, then ignored him.
"What?" Tamahome said indignantly. "Well? What do YOU think the best thing to ask for is?"
"mmpfhrmble!!" Miaka said, coming back with her mouth full.
Yui laughed. "Food, Miaka? Again?"
"Mmpf bmfrthntshmfrks!" Miaka replied.
"No! Textbooks are a good gift to ask for!"
"I want yo-yos!" said Suboshi.
"Sheet music!" said Amiboshi.
Nuriko looked at Hotohori. "What would you want?"
Hotohori tossed his hair and sparkled. "I have everything I want."
"Oh," Nuriko answered, smiling. "I would want..."
"EXCUSE ME!" shouted a loud voice through all of the commotion that they were making. All talk ceased to look at a girl with short white hair and blue eyes in an elf costume. She smiled. "Much better!"
She cleared her throat. "I am Wyrd, your elf hostess today! I will be helping you pose for your pictures with Santa after you sit on his lap!" She gestured to another elf-girl on the Santa Dais with a camera. "That is Poly, and she'll be taking your photos today! After she decides that the picture is a good one, be sure to get your pick-up number from her!"
"And after that," Wyrd continued, "Go see Wingweaver - " Another elf waved cheerfully from behind a counter. "And she'll print your photos and give you your complimentary candy cane!"
She surveyed them with a sparkling, cheerful look. "Do you all have that?" They nodded. "Good! Then it's time to meet Santa!"
Amiboshi and Suboshi pushed to the front of the line with Yui. "We want to go first! Please!!!"
Wyrd smiled at them. "Sure!"
Yui smiled. "Ne, Suboshi, why don't you take this picture with Amiboshi? I want to take one with Miaka, like when we were little."
Miaka smiled and glomped onto Yui's arm. "Yui-chan!!"
Suboshi nodded, and dragged Amiboshi after Wyrd, who was motioning for them to come over to Santa.
"So who am I supposed to be with?" Tamahome asked, looking slightly hurt.
Tasuki draped an arm around his shoulders. "I'll go with ya, Tama!"
"I'm not a cat!"
"'Che! Fine! Take yer photo alone, then!"
"No! I'm sorry, Tasuki!"
"Heh heh...Thought ya'd see it my way!"
"I deal with idiots," Nakago scoffed, tightening his ponytail. "I can handle going alone."
"Me, too, no da!" Chichiri said happily, poofing next to him.
"Mitsukake, will you go with me?" Chiriko asked, straightening his overalls nervously. "I've never met Santa before..."
The healer nodded silently, smiling.
Soi straightened her ponytail, then put it back through her "angel" hat. "Tomo?"
"Kakakakakakaka...Here's the mirror."
"Thank you."
*
Wyrd took Amiboshi and Suboshi's gray backpacks, then told them to sit on Santa's lap. "Okay...Scoot over just a little to your left...Good! Poly?"
Poly gave her a cheerful thumbs-up. "Perfect, boys! Don't move..." She snapped the photo. "There we go! Alright! Now let Santa do his thing!"
Both twins leaned into Santa, grinning widely.
*
Kura?
(what?)
What time is it?
(3:06.)
Ouch. Okay. I'll type faster...
*
Finally, when everyone had gleefully glomped the jolly, white-bearded Santa and whispered their wishes into his ears, they lined up to get their photo claim tickets from Poly. (of course, Wyrd spent a lot of time frustrating Nakago by re-posing him. First he was too tall, then his hair was looking funny...The seishi are wondering if this was on purpose.)
"Daaaaa!" Chichiri said, popping in front of her, and she laughed good- naturedly.
"Here you go!" She handed the ticket to the merry monk, and looked at the twins, who gave her shiny eyes and big, brotherly grins. "And here's your ticket, too, boys. You can pick up your photos over there."
Poly pointed at Wingweaver, and the twins took off after Chichiri, snatching up their backpacks. (And how they knew whose was whose is amazing. I mean, they both have the same gray backpack. Go figure.)
Wingweaver smiled at Chichiri. "Hello! May I have your claim ticket, please?"
"Of course, no da!" He held it out to her. She typed into the computer and the printer started whirring.
"Would you like a candy cane?" She held out the tray.
"Thanks, no da!" Chichiri took one, unwrapped it, and stuck it in his mouth. Of course, the sight of a smiling monk with gravity-defying hair sucking joyously on a candy cane is a pretty funny sight, so she laughed.
The twins showed up with their ticket, followed by Miaka and Yui. (And yes, Miaka tried to eat the whole tray of candy canes, but luckily Yui was able to stop her.)
Soon after that, they were joined by Chiriko and Mitsukake, Soi and Tomo, Nakago, Nuriko, and Hotohori.
*
Having claimed their pictures, they all oohed and aahed over them, then someone dragged out the park map, and yet another "where shall we go next?" argument ensued.
Finally, they decided on...
~*~
*phew*
(No kidding. 10 pages. My fingers hurt.)
Yeah. *smiled happily* But, hey! We finished, and it's only 3:16! I guess this means we can post this now?
(No. You KNOW they're going to ask to know WHAT the seishi wished for.)
Crap. Fine!!!
*grins* If you want to know who took pictures with who and what people wished for, scroll down and watch the Kirby dance.
@@Also, if you don't celebrate Christmas, I'm sorry, but I don't know that much about other holidays, and this is the most widely known, ne? ^__^. ;;; So, please don't take any offense, because none is meant. =)
Now! WATCH THE KIRBY DANCE!

There!

PICTURES: (in no particular order)
Amiboshi and Suboshi went together. There are awfully cute, ne? They are making kawaii little peace signs!
Chichiri went alone (no da)! He also went chibi for the photo. (If anyone gets the idea to draw this, PLEASE email a copy! It'd be so kawaii!!!)
Yui and Miaka went together. And, yes, Miaka is holding a popcorn container in the photo.
Soi and Tomo went together as well! So cute! Soi is on Santa's lap, and Tomo is on the ground, grinning. I think they're starting to enjoy each other's company.
Nakago went alone. He looks kinda weird in his picture. Then again, glowering at the camera kind of does that.
Tamahome and Tasuki also went together, and Tasuki is grinning, pointing his tessen at the camera. Tamahome is making a peace sign.
Hotohori and Nuriko went together, too, and the giant Ninja Teddy Bear is on the side. They look happy, and are smiling. Santa looks like his lap is going to break from all of the non-children using him as a chair.
Chiriko and Mitsukake went together, as well. Chiriko is on Santa's lap, hugging Santa, and Mitsukake is kind of standing there, smiling.
WISHES (again, in no particular order)
Chichiri wished for a new fishing pole.
Chiriko wished for the Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 computer game.
Mitsukake wished for a speaking role. KIDDING! Sheesh. He wished for some fish for Tama.
Tamahome wished for money. You figured he would, and you're right.
Tasuki wished for a night out drinking sake with his best friend, Koji.
Nakago has threatened to hurt us terribly if we tell you what he wished for. ^^.;;
Soi wished for a new wardrobe.
Tomo wished for some new makeup. Oddly, I am surprised that neither of them wished for Nakago to fall in love with them.
Amiboshi told Santa that he wanted his brother to be happy. I think that's sweet.
Suboshi told Santa the same thing. It still think it's sweet.
Miaka wished for Tamahome to buy her lots of food with the money he would wish for.
Yui wished for textbooks. I'm not that surprised.are you?
Nuriko wished for Hotohori to fall in love with him.
Hotohori asked nicely for us not to reveal his wish. So we won't.
The giant Ninja Teddy Bear won't answer Santa. Go figure.
So, that's it! READ AND REVIEW!! ^__^.
Tee hee.
Ja mata!

"EXCUSE ME!" shouted a loud voice through all of the commotion that they were making. All talk ceased to look at a girl with short white hair and blue eyes in an elf costume. She smiled. "Much better!"
She cleared her throat. "I am Wyrd, your elf hostess today! I will be helping you pose for your pictures with Santa after you sit on his lap!" She gestured to another elf-girl on the Santa Dais with a camera. "That is Poly, and she'll be taking your photos today! After she decides that the picture is a good one, be sure to get your pick-up number from her!"
"And after that," Wyrd continued, "Go see Wingweaver - " Another elf waved cheerfully from behind a counter. "And she'll print your photos and give you your complimentary candy cane!"
She surveyed them with a sparkling, cheerful look. "Do you all have that?" They nodded. "Good! Then it's time to meet Santa!"
Amiboshi and Suboshi pushed to the front of the line with Yui. "We want to go first! Please!!!"
Wyrd smiled at them. "Sure!"
Yui smiled. "Ne, Suboshi, why don't you take this picture with Amiboshi? I want to take one with Miaka, like when we were little."
Miaka smiled and glomped onto Yui's arm. "Yui-chan!!"
Suboshi nodded, and dragged Amiboshi after Wyrd, who was motioning for them to come over to Santa.
"So who am I supposed to be with?" Tamahome asked, looking slightly hurt.
Tasuki draped an arm around his shoulders. "I'll go with ya, Tama!"
"I'm not a cat!"
"'Che! Fine! Take yer photo alone, then!"
"No! I'm sorry, Tasuki!"
"Heh heh...Thought ya'd see it my way!"
"I deal with idiots," Nakago scoffed, tightening his ponytail. "I can handle going alone."
"Me, too, no da!" Chichiri said happily, poofing next to him.
"Mitsukake, will you go with me?" Chiriko asked, straightening his overalls nervously. "I've never met Santa before..."
The healer nodded silently, smiling.
Soi straightened her ponytail, then put it back through her "angel" hat. "Tomo?"
"Kakakakakakaka...Here's the mirror."
"Thank you."

Wyrd took Amiboshi and Suboshi's gray backpacks, then told them to sit on Santa's lap. "Okay...Scoot over just a little to your left...Good! Poly?"
Poly gave her a cheerful thumbs-up. "Perfect, boys! Don't move..." She snapped the photo. "There we go! Alright! Now let Santa do his thing!"
Both twins leaned into Santa, grinning widely.

Kura?
(what?)
What time is it?
(3:06.)
Ouch. Okay. I'll type faster...

Finally, when everyone had gleefully glomped the jolly, white-bearded Santa and whispered their wishes into his ears, they lined up to get their photo claim tickets from Poly. (of course, Wyrd spent a lot of time frustrating Nakago by re-posing him. First he was too tall, then his hair was looking funny...The seishi are wondering if this was on purpose.)
"Daaaaa!" Chichiri said, popping in front of her, and she laughed good- naturedly.
"Here you go!" She handed the ticket to the merry monk, and looked at the twins, who gave her shiny eyes and big, brotherly grins. "And here's your ticket, too, boys. You can pick up your photos over there."
Poly pointed at Wingweaver, and the twins took off after Chichiri, snatching up their backpacks. (And how they knew whose was whose is amazing. I mean, they both have the same gray backpack. Go figure.)
Wingweaver smiled at Chichiri. "Hello! May I have your claim ticket, please?"
"Of course, no da!" He held it out to her. She typed into the computer and the printer started whirring.
"Would you like a candy cane?" She held out the tray.
"Thanks, no da!" Chichiri took one, unwrapped it, and stuck it in his mouth. Of course, the sight of a smiling monk with gravity-defying hair sucking joyously on a candy cane is a pretty funny sight, so she laughed.
The twins showed up with their ticket, followed by Miaka and Yui. (And yes, Miaka tried to eat the whole tray of candy canes, but luckily Yui was able to stop her.)
Soon after that, they were joined by Chiriko and Mitsukake, Soi and Tomo, Nakago, Nuriko, and Hotohori.

Having claimed their pictures, they all oohed and aahed over them, then someone dragged out the park map, and yet another "where shall we go next?" argument ensued.
Finally, they decided on...
~*~
*phew*
(No kidding. 10 pages. My fingers hurt.)
Yeah. *smiled happily* But, hey! We finished, and it's only 3:16! I guess this means we can post this now?
(No. You KNOW they're going to ask to know WHAT the seishi wished for.)
Crap. Fine!!!
*grins* If you want to know who took pictures with who and what people wished for, scroll down and watch the Kirby dance.
@@Also, if you don't celebrate Christmas, I'm sorry, but I don't know that much about other holidays, and this is the most widely known, ne? ^__^. ;;; So, please don't take any offense, because none is meant. =)
Now! WATCH THE KIRBY DANCE!

PICTURES: (in no particular order)
Amiboshi and Suboshi went together. There are awfully cute, ne? They are making kawaii little peace signs!
Chichiri went alone (no da)! He also went chibi for the photo. (If anyone gets the idea to draw this, PLEASE email a copy! It'd be so kawaii!!!)
Yui and Miaka went together. And, yes, Miaka is holding a popcorn container in the photo.
Soi and Tomo went together as well! So cute! Soi is on Santa's lap, and Tomo is on the ground, grinning. I think they're starting to enjoy each other's company.
Nakago went alone. He looks kinda weird in his picture. Then again, glowering at the camera kind of does that.
Tamahome and Tasuki also went together, and Tasuki is grinning, pointing his tessen at the camera. Tamahome is making a peace sign.
Hotohori and Nuriko went together, too, and the giant Ninja Teddy Bear is on the side. They look happy, and are smiling. Santa looks like his lap is going to break from all of the non-children using him as a chair.
Chiriko and Mitsukake went together, as well. Chiriko is on Santa's lap, hugging Santa, and Mitsukake is kind of standing there, smiling.
WISHES (again, in no particular order)
Chichiri wished for a new fishing pole.
Chiriko wished for the Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 computer game.
Mitsukake wished for a speaking role. KIDDING! Sheesh. He wished for some fish for Tama.
Tamahome wished for money. You figured he would, and you're right.
Tasuki wished for a night out drinking sake with his best friend, Koji.
Nakago has threatened to hurt us terribly if we tell you what he wished for. ^^.;;
Soi wished for a new wardrobe.
Tomo wished for some new makeup. Oddly, I am surprised that neither of them wished for Nakago to fall in love with them.
Amiboshi told Santa that he wanted his brother to be happy. I think that's sweet.
Suboshi told Santa the same thing. It still think it's sweet.
Miaka wished for Tamahome to buy her lots of food with the money he would wish for.
Yui wished for textbooks. I'm not that surprised.are you?
Nuriko wished for Hotohori to fall in love with him.
Hotohori asked nicely for us not to reveal his wish. So we won't.
The giant Ninja Teddy Bear won't answer Santa. Go figure.
So, that's it! READ AND REVIEW!! ^__^.
Tee hee.
Ja mata!
