"Absolutely NOT!" were Wayzz's first words after Marinette, Trixx and Nooroo finished telling everyone their plan.

"Why not….?" a loud whine came from a set of drinking glasses on the table behind him.

Everyone was in the kitchen giving the crockery a wash, and then drying them. Most were excited and liked the idea of Christmas, but Wayzz didn't and being the one who runs the castle, he needed convincing too before they did anything.

"Out of the question. Not a chance. Dream on. An impossibility. Forget it." Wayzz listed all the ways to say no as he marched through two lines of glasses to a tankard who was slouching because he was upset.

"Awww…. Come on…" the glasses said together, but Wayzz ignored them and instead told the tankard:

"Suck in that gut." making the drinking vessel do so meaning the 'fat' went to his 'chest' instead.

"Aw, get with the spirit, old timer." Plagg said hopping over to Wayzz who was ignoring the black candelabra. "Unwind." he said, touching Wayzz with one of his candles making the hands on Wayzz's face spin out of control.

"Come on you old grump, have a heart." Alya said from her place on the table where she was being cleaned up by a couple of cleaning brushes herself.

"Yeah… come on…" the glasses said again not sounding all that hopeful that Wayzz would change his mind, but thought they could try.

"No, no, and let me think…" Wayzz said, stopping his hands and looking over his shoulder, seeing the hopeful look on Plagg and the glasses' faces (despite them not having faces) "No!"

"Awww…." they all say frowning again.

"This is where I put my foot down." Wayzz said so into being in charge he didn't see a scrubbing brush, who was upset with all of this, come over with a box of wax and slide it under his foot, meaning he stepped in that, surprising him.

Limping a little with the box of wax on his foot, Wayzz tried to get it off, to giggles of the glasses, as he said:

"The Master has forbidden Christmas!"

"Forbid Christmas?" Marinette asked from where she was, where she was helping to dry the crockery and trays. "No one can forbid Christmas. It will come whether Chat Noir wants it or not."

"Exactly," Tikki said from where she was helping guide the plates and things to the bathtub "Which is why we should do this."

"He doesn't wish to be reminded of his past," Wayzz said, limping over to Marinette, his hands behind his back looking all posh and dignified… with a box of wax on his foot. "and Christmas is a most painful reminder of it. I, for one, do not wish to torture him."

"Well I, for one, think a little Christmas cheer would do him some good." Marinette defended getting calls of agreements from everyone, no one noticing the little piccolo spying on everyone at the doorway.

"Marinette's right," Plagg said, coming forth "It is up to us to do something."

"It's not our place to get involved," Wayzz said, turning to Plagg, crossing his arms. "No, no, no, no!" he said, poking Plagg in the nose. "We just can't mind our own beeswax can we?"

Glaring at Wayzz a little, Plagg waited until the clock turned his back to him before positioning one of his candles where Wayzz's rear would be.

"Just have to stick our wick where it doesn't belong." the clock said eyes closed, arms crossed looking all dignified as usual and proud of himself.

For about 10 seconds because then smoke started to appear, and Wayzz could feel he was on fire, making him scream and leap into the air to try and get away from Plagg, only to fall into the tub where he came up with a Georgian wig of soap bubbles.

Plagg and the glasses look over the edge of the table giggling at Wayzz's misfortune.

"Oh. Humiliating," Wayzz said to himself as he swam to the side to get out.

"Please. I think it's a great idea," Alya said from where she was, where the cleaning brushes now took off her lid and pulled out the old teabag.

"But the Master doesn't want it," Wayzz said firmly, trying to get them to understand, as he got out of the tub pleased that it got the wax bod off his foot. "His castle, his rules."

"It's not fair," Trixx said, from where she was next to Alya looking down at Wayzz.

"She's right… It's not fair…" The glasses all said together in agreement.

"Don't whine, glasses," Wayzz said, crossing his arms and turning away from them.

"Sorry…" the wine glasses say in another whine

"Look at us," Tikki said from where she was comforting a spare teacup "Bickering and squabbling. Breaks my heart to see us like this, it does. And we used to be our very best at Christmas."

"Really?" Marinette asked, wanting to hear about this.

"Yeah, we used to prepare a feast for the entire castle." Alya said smiling seeing where Tikki was going with this, ignoring Wayzz's grumpy face as he crossed his arms again and turned his back to her.

"You could have some stuffed turkey," Plagg started the list of the wonderful Christmas food they could have.

"Cranberry sauce," Marinette said,saying what she liked best at Christmas.

"Shortbread cookies," Nooroo added.

"Mince pies," Trixx included.

"Potatoes," Alya committed.

"Gravy," Tikki placed on the list.

"And Christmas pudding!" Plagg said smiling, seeing Wayzz's face go from stubborn to wanting with each food that was listed.

"P-Pudding? With… With custard?" he asked, hopeful.

"What do you think we are barbarians?" Plagg asked, standing tall, slightly offended "Of course with custard! And raisins and brandy and all those things you like."

With this Wayzz was getting more eager to have Christmas just so he could get his hands on pudding.

"Oh… Oh I…" Wayzz said fighting with himself a little before saying "Alright."

"YEAH!" Trixx, Nooroo, and the glasses all cheer.

"But if the Master finds out about this he would be furious, so everyone, keep quiet." Wayzz said as a final order, but everyone was so excited no one was listening.

"Come on! What are we waiting for? Christmas?" Plagg said, looking around at everyone.

"Good heavens, we don't have much time, it's Christmas Eve," Wayzz said, almost as panicky.

"I'll see to the dinner!" Alya said right away.

"I'll get some mistletoe," Plagg asis teasing a wine glass as he dipped her and held some mint leaves over their head, making her giggle a little, and Tikki go a little redder than before.

"We need to brighten this place up," Marinette said standing.

"Oh Marinette, wait I know someone who can help," Tikki said excitedly, and heading out the door, Plagg soon following.

"Now, now wait for me, I'm in charge here. I'm in charge." Wayzz said orderly, eyes closed, not noticing that everyone was hopping out past him.

When he opened then everyone was gone, leaving him in the kitchen with the tub of soapy water.

"Wait for me!" he said, running out the door.
