Chapter 19 - O Robotree
Keely yawned as she awoke from her peaceful slumber. She took a glance at the clock and she concluded that she had been asleep on top of Phil for at least two hours.
She looked down on Phil and she carefully got off of the couch, careful not to wake him up. She began putting more ornaments on the tree and then began the lights.
Phil woke up about thirty minutes after Keely. His yawn was a signal to her that he was up.
"Well, hi, sleepyhead," Keely said playfully as she turned her attention back to the Christmas tree.
"How long was I asleep?" Phil asked, his eyes drooping heavily.
"Two and a half hours. I bet you feel better, huh?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"Heck, yeah." He then glanced at the tree. "Wow, Keel, you've gotten a lot done since I was asleep. When did you wake up?"
"About thirty minutes ago."
"Wow, that's it?"
Keely nodded. Phil then said, "How did you work so fast?"
"It's a woman thing... unless Pim zapped me with the WIZRD," she said, raising her eyebrows.
Phil rolled his eyes and said, "I wouldn't doubt it."
Keely laughed as Pim walked into the room.
"Nice job with the tree, Blondie," she said as she walked into the kitchen.
Keely's and Phil's eyes grew wide and they slowly turned their heads toward the kitchen and then turned their heads towards each other.
"She must be in a good mood today," Phil said as he gazed at Keely.
"Yeah," Keely said and began on the lights again.
"Keel, you want some help with that?" Phil asked nicely.
"Yeah, that would be great, thanks."
Phil smiled and kneeled down and grabbed some lights to put on the tree.
About an hour later, they finished the lights and they went up to his room to relax for a while.
"Wow, Phil... I'm pooped," Keely said as she flopped down onto Phil's bed. "Whoa, your bed is really comfy!"
"Thank you... and I am, too. Do you wanna finish decorating tonight or tomorrow?"
"I think we could probably finish tonight, what do you think?"
"It's up to you."
"Okay, I guess we can try, then."
Phil nodded his head and flipped on his TV.
"What do you wanna watch?" he asked Keely.
"Uh... I don't know... how about MTV? TRL should be on right now."
"Sure."
Keely grinned and fluffed the pillows behind her before laying down. Phil did the same.
"Hey, everyone, this is Vanessa hosting TRL! How is everyone out there in the audience?" she asked as the crowd cheered in the background.
"Well that's great! And as you know, we have Lady X here today as the co-host--" she was then interrupted by the crowd as they cheered for Lady X, and then Vanessa continued.
"So here she is, everyone, Lady X!" Everyone cheered once again as Lady X appeared from behind the doorway and walked into the colorful room.
"Oh, awesome, Phil, I didn't know that Lady X was on today! We so totally can't miss this!"
"Yeah, I agree," Phil said cheerfully. "Hey, Keel, do you want some popcorn?"
"Yeah, sure, that would be great."
"Okay," he said as he opened his door and walked downstairs.
A few minutes later Phil came upstairs with a huge bowl of popcorn and two orange sodas.
"Thanks, Phil," she said, gratefully taking one of the sodas from his hand.
Keely tried to open it but she didn't succeed. "Uh, Phil? Could you open this for me?" she asked.
"Sure," he said, taking the can and opening it in less than two seconds.
"Wow, you're strong!" she said, squeezing his bare arm playfully and taking a drink.
"I know, it's part of what makes me so adorable," he said with his usual boyish grin that always made Keely melt. She rolled her eyes.
"Yeah." But Phil couldn't tell if she was kidding... or if she was being serious. He just decided to let it go.
After TRL was over, Keely said, "So, let's go try to finish the tree now."
"Okay," Phil said as they walked downstairs.
They finished in another hour. Now all that was left was the star that belonged on the top.
"So, who's putting the star on top this year?" Keely asked.
"Let's ask Pim. If she doesn't wanna do it, you can," Phil said.
"Okay. Pim!" she yelled. Pim walked slowly down the stairs.
"What?" she asked, sounding annoyed.
"Do you wanna put the star at the top?" Phil asked.
Pim's face lit up like a Christmas tree (haha). "You bet, bro!" she said, rushing over to Phil and taking it out of his hand. She climbed up the ladder and slowly placed the star on its perch, cherishing the moment. Keely and Phil smiled at Pim. She might've been evil, but she was cute in a little-kid-cuteness-at-Christmas kinda way.
Pim then stepped down off of the ladder and stood beside Phil and Keely, and all three of them gazed at the star. It was finally finished, and it looked as beautiful as it ever had before.
Then all three of them sang "O Robotree." Phil had taught it to her this year so she didn't feel like a reject in the Diffy household when the tree was finished.
O Robotree, O Robotree,
You stand just to thrill us
O Robotree, O Robotree
It's Christmas, please don't kill us
We didn't mean to make you mad
Or make you very sad (thats the part i was talking about)
O Robotree, O Robotree
It's Christmas, please don't kill us
Or your money back!
After they were done singing they all laughed loudly and they put in a Christmas movie and sat on the couch together... Keely on the left, Phil in the middle, and Pim on the right.
"What are we watching, Phil?" Keely asked as he put the DVD in.
"We are watching The Santa Clause 2," Phil said as he climbed onto the couch beside Keely.
"Oh, I love that movie, Phil! Good choice!" Keely exclaimed. Pim nodded her head in agreement.
As they watched the movie, Pim said, "Can you believe there's only nine more days until Christmas?"
"No," Keely and Phil said in unison. They smiled at each other.
"Pim, what do you want for Christmas?" Keely asked her.
"Uh... money I guess. What do you want?"
"I want a lot of things. You can just get me money, too."
"Oh, I'm not buying you anything, I was just wondering"
Keely frowned. "Oh."
Pim saw her look of sadness and said, "Chill, Blondie, I was kidding. It's Christmas. Why wouldn't I get you anything?"
Keely smiled and gave Pim a noogie. "Oh, come on, now... too much love." she said, trying to pull away from Keely's grasp.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist," Keely said.
"Oh, too bad," Pim said. Keely smiled, rolled her eyes, and turned her attention back to the TV screen. They watched the rest of the movie silently, laughing every now and then.
After the movie was over, Phil walked Keely to her house.
"Thanks for everything, Keel, you really helped us. Pim would've never helped me decorate with Mom and Dad gone."
Keely smiled. "No probem, Phil. I love being with you!" She then gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and backed up slowly inside her doorway.
"Goodnight, Philly-Willy," she said, biting her lip. Phil said nothing. He was in a daze.
Keely closed the door and turned her back up against it and slid down slightly. She hoped that what she just did didn't freak him out much. Boy, was she right!
