Chapter 19: Games And Fun Time The Bad Ham Way
"Alright, time to play Dirty Santa everyone!" Mike flashed his eyes. "Everyone, get out the ornaments you were supposed to bring. Don't worry, I got extras if you forgot... Anyone not wanting to play?"
The only Numbers that wanted to play were Number 1 and Number 2 because Kayla made Number 1 play and Number 2 felt sorry for him so he also was in the game. Roger did not really want to play, but Becky made him. Boss was about to skip, but Caitlin also made him. Caitlin let the other Numbers look after Bossy in the mini playpen she brought with her. Mike then gave everyone playing a piece of paper with a number on it.
"Everyone knows how to play, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, first person up!"
"Oh yeah, the number one man of every girl's dreams!" Number 1 yelled loudly as he jumped up. He picked up a gift bag and looked in.
"Oh, that's the one I brought!" Stella shouted.
Number 1 took out a big, pink, fluffy ornament. "This is the best ornament EVER!" he yelled as he jumped up and down. "No one better steal mine, otherwise they're going to have yellow jeans!"
"Alright, next!"
"That's me!" Natsu shouted. She picked up a bag and looked in. Natsu brought out a purple ornament with big sparkles. "I brought this one! YEAH!"
"Alright, next!"
Roger stood up from his seat. He looked at the bags but then he looked at the other ornaments.
"Yeah, Rog," Mike laughed, "you can steal any of these awesome ornaments."
Roger laughed. "I'm going to steal Number 1's!"
Number 1 held onto his ornament. "But this is the most awesome ornament ever!"
Roger held out his paw. Number 1 threw the ornament at him and stole Natsu's ornament. "This one is more awesome though."
"Fine then," Stella laughed.
Natsu got back up and opened another ornament. It was a navy blue ornament with fluffy stuff.
"I brought that one," Becky said.
"Alright, I'm next." Mike stood up and picked up a gift bag.
"Oh, Mike, I brought that one." Number 1 began laughing.
Mike took out the ornament and began laughing so hard he could not breathe. It was a red and black corset ornament that read "Sex God" on it. Everyone else began laughing. "Dear God... Save us all!"
"Oh yeah, the perfect description for Mike." Caitlin laughed.
"I'm next!" Number 2 got up from his seat and chose a bag.
"That's the one I brought!" Megan shouted.
He brought out a large glass ornament that was adorned with a ribbon. "THIS IS SO FREAKIN' AWESOME!"
"Alright, my turn!" Stella stood up and stole Number 2's ornament. "This is so mine!"
Number 2 got back up and stole Natsu's ornament.
"Everything's getting stolen from me!" Natsu laughed. She then stole Roger's ornament. Roger got back up and opened another bag.
"I brought that one!" Mike laughed. "I was hoping you'd get that one..."
Roger brought out the ornament. It was an ornament of a camera. Roger blushed and hit his forehead with his paw. "Dear Messiah..."
"I'm next!" Becky shouted as she got up. She picked up a bag.
"That's mine!" Kayla yelled.
Becky reached into the bag and fished out a big, black star ornament. "YAY!"
"My turn," Megan remarked as she stood up. She picked up a bag.
"Thaat eez mine!" Roger remarked loudly.
Megan brought out a blue bowtie ornament, and she burst into laughter. "This is so tacky! I love it!"
"Alright, I'm next." Boss stood up and stole Number 1's ornament. "Haha, I stole yours!"
"Man!" Number 1 growled and laughed as he picked up a bag.
"I brought that one!" Number 2 shouted.
Number 1 brought out an ornament that was crystal clear. It had a tag on it. The ornament opened up. Out of it came a black thong. "OH MY GOD, YOU GOT THIS AT VICTORIA'S SECRET!"
"Oh yeah, Number 1, let's go see that on," Kayla teased.
"I'll pass that opportunity, but I'll take my turn in this game," Caitlin muttered as she laughed silently. "I'm gonna play it safe and open my own gift." She opened the bag that she brought. She took out an ornament in the shape of a silver bell. "YEAH!"
Kayla stood up. "I'm last!" She glared at the last bag. "Should I open it and end the game?"
"Oh yeah, Kay-Z, dontcha want my ornament?" Number 1 laughed.
"You wish." She laughed.
Mike said, "That's the extra one I brought since Boss didn't have one. Trust me, you'll like it..."
Kayla laughed again as she picked up the bag. "Alright, I'll open it..." She opened the bag and brought out a box on a string with a spinney handle. "What is it?"
"Go ahead and see..." Mike concealed laughter.
Kayla started turning the handle. It made the music to "Pop, Goes the Weazel." When the music finished, a laughing clown popped out of the box! Kayla screamed and fell back. The other Bad Hams began laughing.
"OH YEAH, I forgot you were afraid of clowns." Mike laughed so hard he could not breathe again.
Later that night, everyone got tired. Everyone was ready for the next day after all of the games and events were over. Caitlin and Boss walked to the door together with Mike following them. Bossy was asleep as Boss carried him. When they got to the front room, the three all paused.
Boss flashed his baby blue eyes. "I met you in this room, and I met Caitlin in this hallway."
Mike nodded. "Yes."
Caitlin nodded, too. She quickly embraced Mike in a warm hug. He hugged her, too.
"Mike, you're my only brother," Caitlin whispered.
"And you're my only little sister." Mike found himself with a small smile on his face. He turned toward Boss. "And you're my brother-in-law, I assume."
Boss nodded. "Have a very merry Christmas, Mike."
"A very merry Christmas to you, too, Mr. and Mrs. Taisho-Kun." Mike turned around on his heels and walked down the hallway.
