'Twas the night of the party, when throughout the abode
Every person was stirring, even Alderp that toad;
The decorations hung in the halls with care,
With noble guests in mind, who would soon be there;
The servants quickly hurried, anticipating;
The chaos their master's friends would be bringing;
And Tanya in her white suit, and I in my dress,
Had just settled our ears for a party's long stress,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
We sprang from our seats to see what was the matter.
Away to the window we flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
When cresting the top of an oddly steep hill,
But a miniature sleigh and eight lively people,
With a little short driver so lively and quick,
We knew in a moment: He must be that dick!
More rapid than squirrels his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
"Now, Dust! now, Taylor! now Shizuka and Aqua!
On, Keith! on, Takashi! on, Lynn and on Aya!
To the top of the fence! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
"Kazuma!" shouted Aqua, fuming and mad,
"There's no way I'm stealing from that thing who's so bad!"
"Au contraire," said Aya, so smug and so frank,
"Tonight, not a one of us shall make any bank.
For you see, I lied, when I said we'd get money,
Instead, you fools, we'll do something funny."
So they huddled together and quickly conspired
To do something to make the drab place less tired.
All the while, Tanya and I watched from afar,
Our mouths hanging open, unlatched, and ajar.
"How in the name of that devil who plagues us
Did that two-bit little shit get them to raise such a fuss?"
We both shrugged our shoulders and decided then
To send out security to apprehend them.
Through the party we mingled, and many a time,
I stopped Tanya from leaving; for it would be a crime,
To see her love early, the surprise disappears,
So I stopped my dear friend, and assuaged all her fears.
Finally it was time, finally it came,
To introduce Viktoriya into this little game.
She came to the floor, expectations knocked down,
Her looks were incredible, including her gown.
And Tanya, oh my, well, look at her face,
She's seen the best creation of the human race.
And together, they danced, swirling around,
To all who observed them, they seemed magically bound.
They kissed, so tender, and… wow, that was graphic,
None in the room can deny they are Sapphic.
Suddenly, from above, they was such a crash,
And into the ballroom nine fell with a splash.
The guests were all horrified, but Tanya was done,
For it seemed Kazuma and co. had also won.
Though, not without harming themselves…
-OxOxO-
A/N: A scrapped version of Chapter 43 had those nine crash the party. For some reason, they're wearing Christmas cosplay. Don't question it or my poor poetry skills.
Merry Christmas.
