Title: Furuba Holiday Special!
"Bah, humbug," Akito said.
"Scrooge-san? Since tomorrow is Christmas…"
"You want the day off? Certainly, Tohru Cratchit. You're sacked! Enjoy festive unemployment here in Dickensian Tokyo…" She stopped suddenly. "I quit. I refuse to do a clichéd 'Christmas Carol' adaptation."
But Momiji really wanted to be Tiny Tim, the author wrote.
"Who cares! Do something else!"
"What can I do?" he sobbed, "without the bank money, they'll lock me up…"
"Kyo Bailey? I am apprentice angel Hanajima."
"Are you gonna show me how important my life is?"
"No, I am here to tell you that you should probably kill yourself."
Author's Note: Obviously, the first part is a lame adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, while the second part is an even lamer (and more disturbing) adaptation of the Frank Capra/Jimmy Stewart movie It's a Wonderful Life. Hope you liked it. I will be doing one more Xmas-themed Furuba drabble before the holiday itself rolls around.
I also have a stand-alone Xmas story that I published a couple of years ago called "The Chibi Fruits Basket Christmas Pageant!" that I'm rather proud of.
