Anyway... I better be quick and do these last 3 chapters... it's gonna be strange to do a Xmas fic of 2005 in 2006, hmm? And I also have to continue my Mega Crossover with more chapters of battles, humour and Duel Monsters!
Let's begin!
00000000000000000000000
Couple of days after the first rehearsal went through well, someone came up to Knuckles and asked a vital question.
"Seeing as Santa is part of the play, where are Santa's little helpers...?" Rudolph asked. "A Santa must have his elves to make the toys for the children before Christmas Day..."
Knuckles nodded. "Yes... I see what you mean there..."
And, apart from Espio, the other members of Team Chaotix soon became Santa's Little Helpers... though, they weren't told it would be elves. What did they change into...? Well...
Sweatdropping, Knuckles palmed his face and glared at Vector, Mighty and Charmy for the choice of costume they chose to be as Santa's Little Helpers. "Please tell me WHY you chose to dress up as CREDIT CARDS as Santa's Little Helpers...?"
With his head popping out the top of the credit card suit, Vector smiled sheepishly. Mighty also has his head popping at the top of his credit card suits while Charmy has his head popping in the MIDDLE of his suit. "Well... usually people buy Christmas gifts for other people by using these credit cards..."
Charmy nodded, trying to fly through the air while his head was popping out of the credit card suit. "Yeah! So... usually Santa's Little Helpers are either elves... or credit cards..."
Slapping his head, Knuckles groaned. "I want you four to dress up as ELVES! WHY did you even dressed up as credit cards? Who TOLD you that Santa's Little Helpers are credit cards...?"
Mighty gulped. "Doctor Crowler told us! He told us that Santa's Little Helpers are Credit Cards..."
Blinking, Knuckles sweatdropped and shook his head. "Mighty... do you and Vector remember what YOU told Crowler on our introduction day of this year's Xmas play...?"
Mighty nodded. "Yeah... we told him to dress up as Stormella because you requested it... which you didn't so, he entered the room dressed up as Stormella while the others weren't IN their costumes... Why?"
"Look at yourselves and YOU'LL figure it out..." Knuckles muttered.
Silence came across the three members of Team Chaotix before Charmy muttered to the other two members... "Oh... he got us good, didn't he...?"
Later on, Knuckles and Megaman were now preparing the advertisement for the Rudolph play... and they were standing with Inumon, with reindeer antlers stuck to the top of his head and a red nose... well, on his nose... while standing on a running machine and a blue screen background behind him.
Knuckles grinned. "All right, Inumon... before we begin... let me hear what you have to say for the play's advertisement on TV so I know you are ready..."
Nodding, Inumon sighed and repeated the words. "OK... Hello, everyone... this is... Rudolph..." He flinched at the last words before continuing. "Coming soon is the 2005 Xmas Play known as Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer! Tickets are on sale this week so, you better get them fast!"
Nodding, Knuckles looked at Megaman with a proud look. "Yeah... we are gonna get a packed audience... last like the last couple of years... right?"
"Yeah... I know..." Megaman said before grinning. "Due to the fact that the cast sometimes make a mistake in their acting... I mean, look at the Furrymon and Eevee whom played as Bob Cratchit's kids... and they acted out as YOU!"
Sweatdropping, Knuckles nodded. "Yeah... fond memories..." He sighed and glanced at Inumon. "OK... Before we record this, we will have you practise the words while running..."
Inumon nodded. "OK... I got it."
Megaman tapped Inumon's red nose. "Tell me something... is this actually YOUR nose that got wacked or did you got a fake red nose to put on without getting hurt...?"
Sighing, Inumon took the plastic red nose off... to show ANOTHER red nose. "BOTH! I picked this red nose up from the props room just before Espio accidently wacked the door into my nose..."
Confused, Knuckles glanced at the fake red nose before looking at Inumon's REAL red nose. "So... why are you wearing THIS one over your nose...?"
Growling, Inumon plopped the fake one on his real nose before crossing his arms in front of his chest. "I did NOT get my nose smashed just to get this small thing, did I...?"
Sweatdropping, Knuckles and Megaman walked off. "Whatever you say, Inumon..."
Sighing, Inumon got into a running position as he could feel the treadwheel underneath his feet moving and ran. After he got use to it, he glanced at Knuckles and Megaman at the side. "Now...?"
Knuckles nodded while Megaman looked confused. "Yes, now... and when you say your playing as Rudolph... DON'T FLINCH!"
With a heavy sigh, Inumon proceeded to speak his lines. "Hello, everyone... this is Rudolph..."
Whispering, Megaman looked confused as he turned to Knuckles. "Erm... does that running machine have a on and off button on the control panel...?"
Knuckles shook his head. "Nope... that is the most expensive version. This one requires a remote control in order to switch the machine on and off as well as making it slow or fast..."
Looking about, Megaman nodded. "I see... THAT'S what I'm confused about..."
Blinking, it was Knuckles' turn to be confused. "What...? What are you talking about...?"
"Simple... only you, me and Inumon are in this room and neither one of us had used the remote control to turn that machine on..." Megaman said. "Who switched it on...?"
Blinking, Knuckles looked about and gulped. "Your right... I thought you turned it on..."
Megaman shook his head. "How could I turn it on if I asked if the running machine has a control panel...?"
Glancing about, Knuckles sweatdropped. "Good point... and the remote control is missing... who stole it and turn it on...?"
Noticing the worried looks on Knuckles' and Megaman's faces, Inumon became worried. "What's wrong...?"
Looking back, Knuckles shook his head. "Nothing... keep it up!"
Sighing, Inumon nodded. "Fine... Coming soon is the 2005 Xmas Play known as Rudolph..." He faultered slightly... he swear he could feel the treadwheel moving faster. He shrugged and carried on. "the Red Nose Reindeer...!" He then, felt his legs going even faster and started to gasp for air. "Tickets... (Gasp) are on sale... (Gulp gasp) this week so, you better get them fast! (Pant Pant) Just like me..."
Sweatdropping, Knuckles looked at the machine. "What's going on here...? Is this thing possessed...?"
Megaman shook his head. "No... someone is playing with the remote as a joke..."
"SOME JOKE!" Yelled Inumon as he was currently doing 200mph on the running machine. "JANE, STOP THIS CRAZY THING!"
Hearing that, Megaman sweatdropped. "And we seem to have a bit of Jetsons here..."
It was then the machine stopped and Inumon was flung into Knuckles, crashing into the wall with a mighty sound of falling shelves, books and paper.
Eyes swirling about, Inumon looked happy with a dizzy look. "Look mommy... pretty stars..."
Knuckles was underneath Inumon, drumming his fingers... which was difficult if you see what his gloves are like. "Would somebody get this idiot off me... before people get the wrong ideas..."
"Like Sonic coming in with a bible saying... "I now pronounce you man and wife...?" Megaman asked, laughing.
Glaring at Megaman, Knuckles grits his teeth. "By any chance Sonic asked you to be the wiseguy as long he is not around...?"
Megaman smirked. "Maaaaaaybe..."
It was then a great big laughter came from behind the blue screen where the running machine was set up in front of it. Out popped a familiar Digimon holding the control. "HAHAHAHA! I GOT YOU TWO BACK FOR LAST YEAR! HAHAHAHA!"
"Oh... it's him..." Megaman muttered before glancing at Knuckles and the now-awaken Inumon before covering his ears. "OK... here we go..."
And the yelling anger of Inumon and Knuckles echoed throughout the building, followed by sounds of chasing that came after it. "IMPMON!"
Moments later, Megaman was now looking up as Impmon was tied up, only his head was showing while hanging upside down from the light by his ankles. "OK... WHY did you played that trick...?"
Impmon grumbled. "A little payback for what happened last year... where Knuckles got me to dress up as an elf for last year's commerical and Inumon for making fun of me..."
"And those resulted for you to..." Megaman bit his lip for saying. "Hang around..."
Fuming, Impmon turned around. "Ah... shut up..."
A couple of days later, Joey and Tristan approached Knuckles with another intresting question.
"Knuckles... we have done a bit of thinking..." Joey said.
Knuckles smirked. "Really...? Hang about, I'll phone up the local newspaper so they can give you an interview..."
Shaking his head, Tristan spoke. "Just listen, all right...? We've been checking out that Rudolph movie where Stormella is as the main villian and we noticed that Stormella has the power of ice on her side..."
Joey nodded. "Yeah... and Dr Crowler doesn't have that sort of power..."
Not liking where this is going, Knuckles nodded. "Yes... what your trying to say...?"
"Well... why not have the play version of Stormella command a Pokemon...? That uses Ice attacks?" Joey asked.
Sweatdropping, Knuckles shook his head. "Onto what...? You...? And what sort of Pokemon would be perfect for Dr Crowler as Stormella...? I can't see one suitable for him..."
Tristan thought about that. "Lapras...?"
Again, Knuckles shook his head. "No... Lapras is too big... plus, we'll need to make half the stage a pool for the Lapras to swim about... as he or she is a tad too big for the stage..."
"Dewgong? Articuno? Piloswine? Regice? Glalie?" Tristan added.
Sighing, Knuckles shook his head. "If we want an Ice Pokemon to be the sidekick of Stormella... has to be small..."
Joey perked up. "How about... Walrien...?"
And Knuckles sweatdropped again. "Lemme repeat that in order to drill it into your skull, Joey... small... small... SMALL!" He sighed. "Snorunt, Spheal or Swinub... either one of those three..."
Joey and Tristan nodded as they ran out. "OK! We'll find you one!" Said Joey.
"You can count on us!" Tristan added.
Shaking his head, Knuckles looked up at the roof. "Just be honest... will this play turn okay...? Just give me a sign..."
"IMPMON!" Came a bellowing voice of Inumon from the other room. "DID YOU TOLD RENAMON THAT I WANTED TO SEE HER CHEST UP CLOSE WHILE PRETENDING TO BE ZOEY...?"
Impmon yelled back. "NO I DID NOT!"
Inumon growled. "LAIR! YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR LIES!"
Impmon scoffed. "OH PLEASE... STOP BEING SO DRAMATIC..."
And Knuckles sweatdropped as he continued to stare at the roof. "Is that the best you got...?"
The day has ended and preperations for the next Xmas Play was going underway where everyone was looking forward to the Xmas Play. However, only character felt a bit uncomfortable...
"Why do I get the feeling that it's not Christmas anymore...?" Kodi wondered to himself.
000000000000000000000000
And thus, in the next chapter is the long-awaited... AND LATE... Xmas Play of 2005... which I've slowly worked on this story... oy... even though, it was suppose to be seven chapters.
Well, what's going to happen in the next chapter will be shown as you already know.
And I want to complete this before I move on back to the Mega Crossover...
Finally, I better hope I put Chapter 7 up before Easter later this year. Heh...
Anyway, this is my first chapter of this New Year... 2006! So, let's enjoy it, ok? And hopefully, I'll put up a lot of new chapters of my Mega Crossover up...
Until the next time, see ya!
