Whoops! My Microsoft Word has been going bizzerko lately, so I couldn't get all of the chapters up. –sobs- Oh well! A Late Christmas Fic for you all! –shifty eyes-

-----

Teff: Okay, who's in the next scene? We need to get get going, we're more than a month behind!!

Steph: Well, Kyo is already all dressed up and ready. –skims clipboard- Haru's on next… Haru?

Ryoga (from Ranma ½): Is this the Saotome household?

Steph: -slaps forehead- You must be the only person in the world with a worse sense of direction worse than Haru.

Haru: Hey. I'm here. Do I go on now?

Teff: YES! NOW GO!

Momiji: Stephie-chan? What is wrong with Teff? Is it that time of the month?

Steph: Um. Uh. Er. ON WITH THE SCENE!

(curtains rise to show Kyo sitting in an armchair in front of the "fire")

Kyo: -muttering- I hate Christmas, I hate Christmas, I hate Christmas.

(chains clank)

Kyo: Meep! What's that sound!

Haru: -comes in- Ebeneezer Scrooge! I have- Wait. Where's the fog?

-offstage-

Teff: -has face buried in instruction manual, pieces of the "Fog-O-Matic" scattered around her- Okay, so if I connect piece B to this thingymajig, then melt them together with piece z….

-back onstage-

Haru: -.-() Nevermind. Aherm. Good evening Ebeneezer.

Kyo: I trust you didn't get lost on the way here.

Haru: Well I- -pauses as a little black pig runs across the stage-

Momiji: ­-chasing after it- Come back Charlotte!

Kyo: Um. Anyway, -fake fear- Good God! It's Jacob Marley!

Haru: You don't believe in me Scrooge, so why doubt your senses?

Kyo: I don't! For all I know, you could be some sort of hallucination from food poisoning! That Cod Roe Kagura made me eat was probably undercooked or something! –gets hit in the head with prop tree thrown from off stage- OW!

Haru: -.-()

Kyo: Oh spirit! Why do you haunt me!

Haru: I have come with a warning! You see these chains? They were forged by greediness, link by link. You too carry a length of chains, long and heavy, since seven Christmases past!

Kyo: No! It can't be true! It just can't- Is that a toaster?

Haru: Um. Yes. But that's beside the point! I have come to bear a warning upon you Ebeneezer. You shall be visited by three spirits!

Kyo: Okay… So after you, I'll be visited by 2 more?

Haru: What?

Kyo: You're one! So after you, there should be two, and that would make three.

Haru: You're an idiot. After me, there will be three more.

Kyo: Oh. So I'll be visited by 4 spirits.

Haru: NO! YOU STUPID CAT! THREE –sensor- SPIRITS! –stomps off stage-

Kyo: Geez, someone is on the black side of the bed. –looks down at toaster Haru left behind- Hey, he lefthis toaster.

Toaster: -pops waffles-

Kyo: Yes! Waffle! –eats-

Steph: -sighs- Once again, we're sorry about the delay. -.-
