Chapter 4

Christmas Spectacular

Hey guys! Merry Christmas! And The whole crew Is here to wish you one too! This chapter everyone we've meet so far is here thogther so I'll list the names in quotation marks like this "Soul:" when there's 3 or more Pokémon in a conversation.

Snowflakes dwindled down from the sky, showering the den with snow. Now noise was heard, and all was silent till Soul and Spirit woke up.

" *moan*... Woah…. Soul…. wake up! Look at the pretty snowflakes!"

Soul rose up from the blankets, uncurling Spirits tail.

"*lip smacking* ugh… what is it Spirit? Wow….. snow!"

Leaping from under the covers, Souls paws touched the cold hard stone of the floor. Walking out into the snow, a tree branch unloaded all its snow onto his head, basically making him invisible.

"Soul?! Where did you go?! Spirit cried as she walked out of the cave.

Laughter was heard as she walked out into the forest.

"Soul! This isn't funny! Come on out!"

Soul leaped out from under the snow, pinning Spirit to the ground screaming and laughing at the same time.

"Soul! Why did you do this?!" Snow dripped of from Souls nose and onto Spirits, covering her cold, wet nose.

"Well, well, well. What are you two love birds doing today? I thought we were going to the festival today."

"J-J-Jenny?!" Soul leapt of of Spirit, making the two blush as they saw Jenny, Luke, and David standing behind them.

"Guys! We didn't expect you to get here this early! I thought we all were meeting at the festival!"

"Yeah, but we decided we'd drop off your presents first." David said.

"Oh! Thanks guys! I'll put them in the cave first." Soul grabbed the presents from David, and set them into the cave, while grabbing there presents in the process.

"Here you go guys, I just grabbed your presents for you. Maybe we can stop at Jenny's house to drop them all off."

"Yeah, we can drop them off at my place before we go to the festival."

Snow toppled down from the tree, hitting Jenny's tails.

"What in the name of…." *Whack* as Jenny turned to the others, snow covered her face.

"You alright there Jenny?" Spirit asked the fox as steam evaporated from her head.

"Fine." Jenny replied back in a stern voice.

"We need to get going guys, the Christmas festival is starting soon!" With that,

Spirit,Soul,Jenny and the others walked off to the Festival. Lights dangled over their heads as they drew near the town square.

"Soul: Wonderful work done this year, huh Spirit."

"Spirit: Its amazing Soul!"

"David: Thanks guys, I really tried to help this year being the only one in the village who volunteered doing the lights."

The five walked into the snow covered Village, cookies were layed out on a table, freshly baked from the oven. Milk was on the table opposite to that, and big red cherry pies sat in the middle of the Square, tantalizing anybody that was foolishly enough to walk so close to the stand.

"Wow… it's so beautiful Soul! Is every festival like this?!"

"Hardly, not every festival is like this. It's usually less packed."

Spirit walked over to the table to grab some of the cookies.

"Mmmm….. oh my god! Oran berry cookies!"

Blue juice rolled down Spirits chin, leaving a blue streak in her fur.

"Spirit, you have something on your chin."

Looking in the window in the house behind her, her reflection showed a blue streak on her chin.

"How did that get there?*snicker*"

"You got it when an Oran berry in your cookie burst. Hey at least look at it this way, you could've gotten Cherri berry juice in you fur." Luke said.

Grabbing a glass of milk from the table, Spirit started to guzzle the milk, leaving a white ring around her mouth.

"Hahahahahaha! Spirirt….. now you've got a ring in your fur." Soul said to Spirit.

"Arghhhh….. I'm going to clean my fur, I'll be back." Spirit then Walked to the restaurant to use their bathroom.

"So, you never did make up your on who to take, you had to take both of them, didn't you? Come on Jenny, you can't drag on like this forever."

"Hugh…. I know I'm going to have to decide eventually, but I just can't leave one of them behind. I mean, it's Christmas Soul, what kind of friend would I be if I left a friend behind?"

"Not a very good one, I can see where your coming from. But you need to make a choice eventually, okay?"

Jenny glued her eyes at the ground, but then she perked up.

"I will, and thanks for being a good friend Soul."

"I'm always here for you Jenny."

Spirit had just gotten out of the restaurant when Soul and Jenny got finished with their conversation.

"Hey guys! Did I miss anything?"

"No you didn't miss a thing Spirit."

Luke and David were over by the cookies, when Jenny had walked over.

"David and Luke: H-H-Hi Jenny!" David and Luke said in union.

"Jenny: Hey boys what are you guys up to?"

Both stood stone solid, as Jenny's hair flowed down her back, and her tails started to blend in with the snow. Luke's face turned cherry red as Jenny started to look his way.

"God…. how long is she gonna drag this on Soul?"

"Honestly Spirit, this has been going on since before you got here. I don't know when this started, or when it will end, but I hope it will soon."

After the three of them finished talking, Jenny came back over to Soul and Spirit.

"Jenny: haughhh….. so what are you guys talking about?"

"Spirit: About how long this love triangle has been dragging on."

"Soul: Yeah, I don't even remember when this started, it's been so long since this started."

Snowflakes dwindled something fierce through the air.

"Looks like there's gonna be a snow storm. Spirit, I think we need to go back to the den."

"Oh come on Soul! We don't need to go back yet! Let's just enjoy the festival!"

Suddenly the snowflakes stopped falling, like they were frozen in time.

"See? It died down, there's no need to worry Soul."

"I'm sorry. I just feel like something's going to go wrong, it's just….. the way the snowflakes just stopped. It just feels like something wrong is going to happen."

Spirit then started to worry about Soul, he just seemed off.

He was usually happy and go lucky, but not now.

"So, Spirit, I need to talk to you, do you mind?"

"No. I don't mind at all."

Jenny and Spirit walked away leaving Soul to his thoughts.

"Attention Pokémon of the Viridian forest Poke' Village! The Food preparations are almost done!"

Soul then saw a leafeon get down from the microphone.

It was Mayor Cinnamon, she was a bright green, and heading torward's the restaurant to help with the food.

"Alrighty, so… I need your help Spirit. I can't pick between the two of them."

"I'm sorry Jenny, I won't be able to help you out with that one."

"Man, thanks for your help though. So….. how have you and Soul been getting along?"

Spirits face turned a bright cherry red once more before blushing at full maximum.

"Oh, uh… it's been going good."

Luke had just left the cookie table and had walked over to Soul, who was in one of his freeze trans.

"What am I gonna do, I need to tell her before it eats me alive. I need to get the strain off my chest." Soul thought to himself.

"Hey dude! It's a Christmas festival! Stop being anti social!"

"Oh, uh, hi Luke, how's it going with Jenny?"

"What?! How do you know about it?"

"Dude….. it's pretty obvious, plus, Jenny's been trying to choose between you and David for awhile."

Luke looked at Soul in shock, which Soul looked back at Luke with a stern look.

"B-B-But, why did she tell you?"

"Dude, I already knew you three were in a love triangle before she even told me."

Luke was just about to speak up, before the Mayor announced the feast was ready.

"Oh, the feast is ready, we should get going Spirit."

"Yeah, we should."

Walking into the Resturant, an aroma of turkey and cranberry floated in the air. Sitting on the table was a whole array of 20 different foods, from Turkey,Cranberry, and Stuffing were just a few.

"Soul: Woah, this is amazing!"

"David: That is a lot of food."

"Jenny: I've never seen this much food at this festival!"

"Spirit: Wow! How many cooks worked on this?!"

"Luke: Yeah, it took us about a week to prepare all of this."

"Soul: Luke, you prepared this?"

"Luke: Yeah, I work at the restaurant, so I had to cook for the festival. The turkey is what I was tasked to cook."

Each one of them grabbed a plate, and the lady put a turkey leg on each one of the plates. Taking a bite out of it, Souls mouth bursted with a rainbow of flavors.

"Luke! This is amazing! And you cooked this?!"

Reaching to put his arm around his back, he nodded yes to Soul. Everybody then sat down at a booth to eat. Digging into their turkey legs, Luke just watched as he ate cranberry salad.

"Luke! How did you make it taste so good?!" Spirit asked.

"Well….. you guys won't be enjoying it in a couple seconds."

Soul and Spirits throat started to burn intensely as they slowly stopped eating.

"Luke…..what did you put in it….."

"I put a fire type spice on it."

Souls and Spirits throats were now on fire, burning even more than getting hit with a flamethrower. Until they finnaly puffed out a cloud of smoke, their throats hurt no more.

"Why *cough* did you put that on the turkey?"

"Because it tastes good? Why, did you get the burn effects?"

Soul gave a stern look to Luke, who was now sweating bullets. Continuing to finish there food, the burn in their mouth subsided. Finishing there food, they then walked outside to where the coldest wind began to blew. One minute in this weather would freeze a Jynx in an instant. Snowflakes began to shower once more onto the forest village.

"Woah…. it's beautiful, and cold…." Spirit began to shiver as she said it.

"You look cold Spirit, here let me help you with that." Souls tail began to wrap around her as did she did the same for Soul.

"Come on guys, let's go to my den! I still have to put up the Christmas decorations up, but you can help if you want." Jenny exclaimed.

"Yeah, I have nothing better to do. How about you Spirit?"

Spirit purred as she rubbed up against Soul, which made him blush.

"Yeah, I'd love to go to your house!"

Pushing on through the snow, they ventured onto the den.

"Alrighty! Here we are!"

A dark cavern stood in front of them, until Jenny used embers on the candles. Lighting the room up like a blaze of fury, no more shade was left in the house after.

"Spirit: Woah Jenny! Your house is beautiful!"

"Jenny: Awww…. Thanks Spirit!"

"Soul: I have to admit, it looks a lot different from last time I was here."

"Jenny: Hold on guys, I'll get the Christmas decorations out right after I put the presents up under the tree!"

Setting the presents under the tree, the lights started flashing like a disco ball in the house.

"Soul: So…. what's the point of putting all this up for one night? I mean…. it's Christmas tonight."

"Jenny: Well Santas coming, remember, and I want the place to look nice for him."

"David: Yeah, I mean so what she's putting her decorations up now?"

"Soul: Geez guys, I was just being curious, no need to get antsy about it."

Putting the toat of Christmas supplies in the center, everybody took one decoration to put up. David was putting ornaments on the tree, Luke was popping popcorn for strings, and Spirit was wrapping presents.

"God dammit! Jenny…. do you know how hard it is to string popcorn with paws! It's almost impossible."

Spirit whipped around to see Luke having trouble with it, so she used her Psy to string the popcorn for Luke.

"W-w-w-what! How can you just use your special powers to fix stringed popcorn?!"

Spirit gave a smile before returning to her previous task, and then David finished hanging up the ornaments. About an hour later, everybody had finished there task meaning everyone could go home.

"Have an awesome night Jen…"

Spirit froze in her tracks as she saw what was hanging over Soul and Spirits head.

"What? Is something wrong? Did I do som…"

Just then, Soul realized what was dangling above their heads. Jenny just gave a menacing smile, while David and Luke just sat there and giggled.

"Well I guess it's better now then ever…." Soul had leaned in to Spirits proximity, before interlocking lips with her.

"There! Are you guys happy?!" Soul asked in a laughing voice, before Spirit passed out.

"Uhh….. Soul…. is she gonna be alright?" Jenny asked in a not so sure voice.

"Yeah, she'll be fine, I'm just gonna take her home." Walking out the door, Soul had seen the awe on all three of their faces.

"Hmmn, wish I would've brought a camera."

Putting Spirit down on the bed, he wrapped her under the covers, and pulled a freshly baked Oran Berry Pop cake straight out of the oven. Wrapping it up in a box, he set the gift right next to Spirit, so that when she woke up, it would be the first thing she saw. Snuggling under the covers with Spirit, they had interlocked tails once more. Before drifting off to sleep, Soul had managed to mumble up a few words to Spirit.

"Merry Christmas Spirit, Merry Christmas." The lights slowly dimmed out as the two drifted off to sleep. But then Soul heard it right back.

"Merry Christmas Soul, Merry Christmas."
