--HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS--

—EPILOGUE—

Author's Note: This epilogue is actually based a series of outtakes I came up with while writing these stories in my point of view. I found them funny and I hope you will too.

-Miracle at Ostia-

"Action!" Mace the Manakete yelled.

-The scene where the cast of Eirika's musical left Eirika, Ephraim, and Lucius alone in Castle Ostia Guest Room-

"Um… Ephraim, brother. Even though, you disagree with me, I'm glad you didn't leave my side."

Ephraim shot a glare at her and spoke under a zombie-like breath, "Clarisse."

"BWAH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH!" Lucius rolled on the floor laughing. Eirika didn't find this amusing and punched Ephraim's shoulders.

"What?" Ephraim giggled.

"Why can't you be at least…" she snickered, "…serious…TEE-HEE!"

"I was."

"No you weren't"

"Yeah-Uh!"

"GAAH! AH! AH! AH!" Eirika burst out laughing as well and the entire set joined in the laughter.

"All right. Let's take five!" Mace wiped his tears.

-The scene where Serra and company were at the food court of the Lycian League Mall-

Serra shrieked, "OH MY GOSH! THIS IS SO (GAG!)" She stopped short and began coughing uncontrollably.

"Serra? Are you okay?" Dorothy approached her.

"I think I screamed too much." Her voice strained.

Serra left the set to get some water. The rest of the cast began laughing.

-The scene where Lyn, Eliwood, Hector, and Roy are all relaxing at Castle Ostia-

Hector exhaled in awe, "nothing beats holiday relaxation like Ostia."

"Tell me about it." Roy burped.

Lyn gently elbowed Eliwood, "Eliwood, your son is misbehaving. Say something."

Eliwood's answer was a, "So?" and a burp.

Lyn giggled. Eliwood wasn't finished, "Like father, like son."

Lyn burst out laughing and everyone joined in the laughter. Lilina entered the room and quickly noticed it is an outtake.

"Eliwood!" Lyn wiped her tears, "You should get your own show!"

"I do have my own show: Fire Emblem. Blazing Sword."

"It's not a show, it's a video game."

"Still…"

Everyone continued to laugh.

-The scene where Fargus's pirate crew met with Merlinus and the children at the Durandal Cave-

Fargus made his appearance, "What's going on he—hey? Isn't that old Merlinus?"

The old pirate pointed at the merchant, who has… not fainted yet. Wiz's eyes widened, "You know h—?"

Everyone stared at Merlinus. Merlinus blinked, "What?"

"Um… Merl." Wiz said, "You were supposed to faint."

"Oh! Right…I'm sorry."

The entire crew began to laugh as Merlinus fell on his back, pretending to faint.

-The scene where Lilina was to make her announcement to the people of Ostia-

"Ladies and gentlemen: Her Highness, Lady Lilina!"

The soldier's announcement got the entire city rushing to the setting. Lilina, in her velvety blue imperial coat carrying her Fortify Staff, steps in the balcony. People murmurs, sharing expectations on the young lady's upcoming announcement.

"People of Ostrich!" She called.

Everyone screamed in laughter. Lilina realized her mistake, closed her mouth and headed back inside. But then she tripped on her gown and fell flat on her face. Everyone, even the cast and crew, laughed even more. Lilina blushed.

"OSTRICH! GAAAH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH!"

Hector, Roy, and Mace pointed at Lilina and made fun of her. Lilina giggled yet she tried not to find this amusing. (I mean, she screwed up and she tripped. That's bonus!)

-The scene where Lilina and company met with Athos and his company at the beginning of Chapter 3-

Lilina just finished with her part and stared at Mace who is drinking the glass of Ilian authentic eggnog.

"What?" he burped.

Everyone burst out laughing.

"How disres—disrespe—dis—" Athos tried to say his line and forgets it because of his joke. He put his foot down, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" He left the set to have a good laugh.

Mace simply licked my lips and burped once more. Everyone burst even more in laughter.

"All right." Mace said, "Let's be serious again…BURPS!"

The entire set cannot stop laughing. "STOP IT! GAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Lilina rolled on the floor, fighting to stop her laughter.

-The scene where Lilina met Ninian on Chapter 7-

"Thanks for the small advice, but it best to just drop it." Lilina said hopelessly.

"My lady, do not let your lick of belief take over."

"Tee! Hee!" Lilina giggled.

"What's so funny my lady?"

"Okay, stop saying 'My lady' now, Ninian." Lilina giggled, "You screwed up your line."

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!"

"You said 'lick' instead of 'lack'"

"…Oh." Ninian blushed, came out of the Dragonstone and licked Lilina in the cheek.

"EWWWWWWWWWW!" the princess cried and burst out laughing as Ninian left the scene looking serious.

-The scene where human and dragons joined the party in Ostia-

"That was all Idoun's idea." The elder said, "She called most of the divine dragons from the Dragon's Gate to come to Ostia."

"THE DRAGON'S GATE?" Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn gasped.

Eliwood grabbed the elder by the colon, "Elder! The dragon's Gate is a cursed place. You heard me!" his face glues on the elder's, his voice went deep, "A Cuuuuuuuuuursed place."

"CUT!" Mace cried and began giggling. Everyone joined in the laughter as Eliwood released the elder and patted him nervously.

-The One with the Sacred Stone Ball-

"Action!" Mace the Manakete yelled.

-The scene where Innes was to walk downstairs-

"Why would Father ask for my well-being?" Innes faced the friends as he walks down the stairs. He stopped to look down at the banana slip and backs away. He then faced me, and made a time-out sign.

"Um, Innes…" Mace asked.

"Sorry Mace," he said, "can't do it. I'm scared."

Eirika scoffed and Tana and Lyon began to laugh, "Oh please." Eirika said, "Don't tell me you're afraid of height."

"He is!" Ephraim shouted from downstairs and everyone burst in laughter.

"Hey, that ain't funny. I had a terrible childhood experience with stairs. It was scary and dangerous."

"But I thought danger was your best friend." Mace said, "All right, let's take five, for Innes's sake."

"Thank you." He cried and ran to hug Mace.

-The scene where L'Arachel was first talking to Dozla-

L'Arachel sighed, "Well, there's something I have to tell you. It has been on my mind ever since the holiday season started."

"Oh?"

"…I think Santa Claus is a mint."

Dozla burst out laughing, "GWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! A MINT!"

L'Arachel gasped and placed her hands on her lips. She then joined in the laughter and everyone else too.

-The scene where the two chefs discovered the monarchs' mistake-

"Wait a minute." The brunette chef stopped the blond chef at his track.

"What?"

"A quick question," he gasped, "usually when you bake, you add a little…baby powder right?"

"Yeah of course. Why— Hey, wait a minute. I thought it was baking powder."

The brunette chef stared at the blond chef, "What did I just said?"

"Baby powder."

"Isn't it…baby or baking powder?"

The two chefs stared silently at each other. The brunette chef then faced Mace, "Can I get some help here Mace?"

"Sorry, you're on your own," Mace replied, "I'm staying out of this one. Ooh, has anyone ever tasted baby powder? I said it's quite delicious."

An overwhelming EW emerged from everyone. Mace shook my hands up front, "Kidding, I was just kidding! Sheesh, tough crowd."

-The scene where Eirika was supposing to trip Ephraim at the ice rink-

"Wait a minute! You were really going out with Innes?" Ephraim gasped.

"Duh! What did you think, him, inviting me to the Sacred Stone Ball was for? Competition purposes?" she hissed.

Ephraim scoffed, "Yeah-Uh!" he exclaimed, almost sounding like a drama queen.

"Look, we came…tee-hee… we came to…tee. AHEM! We came to have fun, for goodness sake. Besides the one person you should apologize to, is Innes not me."

Ephraim didn't look serious. He was smiling because of the effect of his joke, "If he asked you to the ball as a date, then there's no way that I'm apologizing to him!"

"Oh so be it."

Eirika twirled Ephraim in place and, instead of tripping him she slipped and fell hard on her butt. The crowd gasped and laughed hysterically.

-The scene where Seth was ripping through his presents-

Seth kept ripping through his gifts like a happy child on Christmas Day. Adam, Adrion, Joshua, and Gilliam stared at him strangely (instead of wearingly).

"You're drooling on yourself." Gilliam pointed at Seth's moistening lips. Seth used his sleeve to clean off his dribble and resumed his gifts ripping.

-The scene where everyone is feasting at the Rausten Court-

"All right guys!" Mace picked up a digital camera, "Before we check out the snow, let's take a group picture!"

"Ooh! I love pictures!" Tana spoke her mouth full.

"Tana! Manners." Hayden stared at her strangely.

"Okay-Dokay!" Mace said, "Now smile for the camera and say…Merry–"

"Can I rip open my presents first?" Eirika cried and everyone giggled.

"Just a second." Mace said, "All right!"

The picture is taken. From left to right, up and down: Mansel simply smiled at the camera; Adam grinned robotically; Ismaire almost had her eyes shut; Ephraim formed rabbit ears above Fado's head; Fado stretched his lips with his fingers; Lyon's eyes were in crescent shape; Vigarde formed his mouth like those of a fish and had his eyes crossed; Eirika was ripping one of her gifts, not paying attention to the camera; Largo shows off his muscular chest; Calill gave a kiss-and-blow and winked at the camera and Nicole waved her hands in the air. Adrion pumped his fist in the air; Gilliam plugged up his nose and his eyes stuck out; Seth's mouth vibrated, looking like he just burped (no wonder Gilliam plugged his nose); Hayden stuck his tongue out and pulled his eyelid down; Tana looked attractive with her long hair down and covering part of her face; Innes pointed both his index fingers at the camera and winked; Dozla gave that stare of his; L'Arachel looked as if she was about to fall off her chair; Rennac also gave that stare of his; and Joshua showed off his coin. Now that's a casual picture.

-Christmas in Radiance-

"Action!" Mace the Manakete yelled.

-The scene where Ike was being chased by Oliver and his army-

Oliver threw a cane on the slippery floor, hoping that will trip Ike, yet the lord (or the disguised Santa) jumped over it…only to find himself slipping on a banana peel. The music abruptly stopped and the crowd gasped and rose from their seat.

Mace rose from my seat as well, "ALLRIGHT! WHO THREW THAT BANANA PEEL HERE?"

Everyone looked around but saw no one. Ultimately, Mace saw Donkey Kong eating another banana and threw yet another peel on the Villa's floor. Mace approached him, crossed his arms, and tapped his foot.

"Oh…" Donkey Kong finally noticed everyone staring at him angrily. Ike's stare was the cruelest. The gorilla approached the lord, picked up his litter and grinned shyly, "My bad."

-The scene where Lucia, Geoffrey, and Bastian are caroling at Brom's house-

The door swung open and there stood Brom and his family, "Hey guys!" he greeted.

"Brom!" Lucia replied, "Good to see you and your family. We're wishing you a merry Christmas."

"Gee thanks." Brom scratched his head. His wife simply smiled and the kids were all crawled in together in front. The nervous Lucia faced Geoffrey and Bastian, "Break it down boys."

Bastian began making bopping sounds with his closed hands together near his lips. Geoffrey and Lucia ripped their caroling clothes, finding themselves in baggy pants, great-quality basketball shirts, hard black boots and their necks adorned in jewelries. Geoffrey's left ear and Lucia's nose were pierced and Lucia's hair had a boyish look.

Geoffrey began rapping,

We wish you good Christmas and a happy new year,

And I hope your life be in joy and cheer,

Now that you know that Santa Claus's coming to town,

You better be nice and nice forever and ever,

Lucia joined in,

We're inviting you to a Noel feast,

There will be foods and drinks, to fill your tummy,

Geoffrey added,

And let's not forget you get some goodies too,

Together,

Since Christmastime is all about you!

"PEACE!" Bastian gave the peace sign while Geoffrey and Lucia crossed their arms and nodded proudly.

-The scene where Ike and Oliver are at the game show, listening to the 12 Days of Christmas-

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me,

"You must recite all of the gifts our true love sent to us in order to win." Reyson proclaimed, sending chills down Ike and Oliver's spine.

Ike scratched his head, "Uh…I know this…Uh…"

"Step aside and let the expert do this." Oliver cleared his throat and began, "Twelve drummers drumming, Eleven pipers piping, ten geese a-laying, nine…golden rings?"

Ike and Elincia stared at each other strangely then gave that same stare at Oliver. Oliver continued, ignoring them, "eight calling birds, seven French hen, six…turtle doves? Five…partridges in an uh…That doesn't sound right."

Ike snorted, "An expert, my BLEEP"

Elincia, Reyson, Titania, Soren, Rhys, and Lucius gasped horrifyingly. "IKE!" the princess cried, "Mind your mouth!"

Ike put his hands on his lips, "My bad." He muttered.

-The scene with the Noel Feast-

Mist comes in the dining room with an oven plate of green stuffing. She smiled, "Nothing says the holidays like green bean casserole."

She approached her guests, tied up in the chair. Each one of them is desperately trying to escape the nasty food. Mist sat next to Kieran, pulled up and fork, stuffed it with the green bean and approached it near his lips, "Open wide!"

Kieran shut his lips tight.

"Wider!"

Kieran shut his lips even tighter.

Mist approached Ilyana with the same stuffed fork, "Wider!" Ilyana began weeping.

"This is torture." Gatrie growled under his breath.

-The scene of the Christmas party at Sienne Square-

Suddenly a familiar band sounded from afar. It was the Heron band, parading down the streets and into the square while playing an excerpt of "Lil' St. Nick." Ranulf leaded, "Everybody now! Let's celebrate until our feet swells!"

The celebration abruptly stopped. Everyone glared at Ranulf.

"What?" he cried, "That's how we're going to celebrate Christmas, and no excuses!"

The celebration resumed.

The entire FE cast gathers, faces the readers, and waves, "Happy Holidays to all!"

"And to all a good night." Jaffar finishes.

THE END
