A/N:
If there was a word to convey how annoyed I am, I would have used it, but I think MOTHERFUCKER is a perfect word. Because this chapter was a MOTHERFUCKER to write. Regardles, here it is. Please excuse the clunkyness of the chapter. Sometimes I try to add music to my chapters, because one, I wanna share some cool songs, and too I just like the idea of characters singing and performing, especially for someone who's the Ultimate Songwriter. But Open Office is a shithead and it bolds everything, places everything together, then I have to unbold, rebold, Italicize and I'm honestly about to quit and use Docs because hell at least it doesn't fuck up as much. It can't be much better than MS Word at this rate. Ugh...that reminds me of when I was in high school, how they taught us to use MS Excell even though I knew I wasn't going to use it for shit.
Anyway, here's the chapter. Hope you like it.
Songs used in this chapter are as follows.
Dunkin Hills Coffee Jingle by Metalocalypse [I miss this show]
Shatter Me: Metal Version by Rabin Miguel originally by Lindsay Stirling and Lzzy Hale

"I don't like Christmas."
"I'm sorry? How can you not like Christmas? It's the season of perpetual hope! The season where everyone is brotherly and awesome!"
"That doesn't really change my opinion." Heather said, looking back down at the magazine she was reading.
"Why are you such a goth?" Nick asked, a look of curiosity on his face. Sofia looked at him, slapping his arm.
"Don't ask her that...this has nothing with her being goth. Some people just don't like certain holidays dear. You can't make them like something they don't like."
"I know that, but Sofi...it's Christmas! How can you not like the day?"
"Um...maybe because I'm Jewish?" Heather asked, quirking a brow a bit as she cocked her head forward.
"Oh...oh that would explain a lot." Nick said, rubbing his neck in embarrassment.
"I didn't really want to share my religious views on things. They shouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things. But look at me, I'm a girl who's into dark colors and enjoys horror. I don't exactly fit the role of a devout Jewish person." she said.
"It's perfectly fine Heather. I guess we can stop pestering you about Christmas. But even if you weren't a Jew, I think I would want to get you something. I know very little about Hanukkah though." Sofia said.
"I figured...I could go into explaining it, but I think you'd be bored. The story is simple though, it's known as the Festival of Lights. For 8 nights, the menorah is lit, one candle a night until all of them are lit. We also play dreidel and eat oil based foods. It goes deeper than that, but I'm just giving you surface information." Heather said, her eyes going back to her magazine.
"That's pretty interesting...are you celebrating it now or?"
"No, Hanukkah ended already. Jenna headed home to spend the rest of the month without parents, and Benny's family doesn't celebrate Hanukkah." she said.
"Hmm...so why did you stay here? Things rough back home?" Sofia asked, sitting down next to the girl. They had all gathered in the Music Recording Room, the only room not being used by anyone. It was peaceful and quiet, two things the Ultimate Dermatologist liked.
"Not really...I just didn't want to be there. You know Jenna is my step sister right? My father married her mother. However, her side of the family doesn't seem to like me. They've voiced complaints about how I dress and how I act...so I just decided not to show up. We're meeting in Las Vegas for the end of the year anyway."
"I'm sorry to hear that Heather. I didn't think you had family issues like that." Nick said. She shrugged off, casually flipping pages in her magazine.
"It doesn't exactly bother me. My mom and dad love me dearly, and Jenna looks up to me too, in her own way. I could care less what the other side of the family thinks. It isn't just them, my biological mother doesn't want me near my half brother because she thinks I'm a vampire." she said, stifling a giggle.
"Okay, I know you wear fangs, but those are just for fun. Sheesh, people need to stop judging the Goths. Honestly, you guys are some of the best people around." Sofia said.
"I'm glad you think so...you know Sofi, I think a little black would go well with you. Especially with that pale skin and that gorgeous hair. You have such a nice complexion, smooth and clean. Not a single ounce of dirt or oil either." the dermatologist said, glancing at the Swedish girl with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Uh...I dunno...I don't think I would look that good in black."
"Are you kidding? You most definitely would! Heather, please give Sofia a Goth make over! I'll buy everything, I've always wanted to have a goth girlfriend!" Nick said, looking excited.
"Somehow, I doubt that. I think Cara would kick your ass if she heard you say something like that." Heather said, earning a chuckle from the boy.
"Nah...she had a goth phase, before shifting to that professor look she had. Hell, even I think she would be all for Sofi having a transformation. I can already imagine it too, she'd be just like Taylor Momsen!"
"Taylor who?" Sofia asked. Heather and Nick both shared a look, eyes widened in surprise.
"Okay, we're heading to my dorm, sitting your ass down and having you watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" while I iron your hair." the dermatologist said.
"O-okay?" Sofia said. Heather grasped her wrist, pulling her along, with Nick in tow. He paused briefly, a frown on his face.
"Hmm...I know you want me to be happy Cara...but it's still a little hard. I think I'm falling in love with her...is it a good time to...finally let go?" the boy asked, to no one in particular. He jumped a bit when one of the records fell to the ground. He tentatively walked over to it, picking it up from the floor. He noticed that it was a song called "The Rose" by Bette Midler. He smiled a bit, setting the record back.
"Just remember, in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the Seed, that with the sun's love
In the Spring, Becomes The Rose."
"Hehe...you're right...you didn't have to sing that for me babe." he said, glancing behind his back. He almost swore he saw his wife standing behind him. He shook his head, glancing toward the door, just as Heather opened the door.
"Something the matter? Come on!"
"Alright alright, hold your horses. I was tying my shoe." he said, following after the ravenette.

"So...let me get this straight...you three are from another dimension. You came here using this...gun...that opens portals. Just so that you could ask me to come to a Christmas party?" the elven blonde asked, summarizing what she had just heard.
She was sitting on a wooden throne, a tall imposing woman standing beside her. She was a beautiful young woman, with long yellow hair that fell down to her mid back. She had long elven ears, pointing up from the sides of her head. She had vibrant blue eyes, and a fair complexion. She was wearing a maroon dress, that reached down past her knees. Around her waist, she wore a sash that was blue in color, and had the image of a bird on it. She was wearing long maroon pants underneath her dress, along with brown leather boots. Outwardly, she looked around the age of 19, but how she act and behaved, was far beyond her years.
"Yup, that's right." Carla replied.
"Okay...and you, Palutena is it? You are familiar with a future incarnation of myself, which is why you are so friendly towards me?" the young woman asked.
"That's right, the Zelda that I know happens to be from the Hyrule of another timeline. She's from a Hyrule that was plunged into Twilight." the green haired goddess said.
"I see...well, I'm...honestly quite shocked. I wasn't expecting someone from another dimension to come here. Especially just for me...but I sadly cannot leave. You see, I must remain here...you never know what may happen."
"Princess Zelda, I understand that you might be worried. But trust me, this timeline is going to remain 100% safe! I specifically searched for a point in time where Ganondorf doesn't resurrect. That's also the reason why the Hero of Time is strangely absent." Carla said, earning a from from the young woman.
"I understand...I just...cannot readily agree to this. Even if its for a few hours...I'm sorry. You are welcome to stay here, and explore the castle grounds. I'm certain you'll find something here for your friend." she replied, giving the three a smile.
"Sorry to have bothered you, I knew you'd be busy. Frankly, I myself just wish to return home. I'm certain Jonathan will be completely happy without the extravagant gift that Carla here is planning." Veruca said, glaring at her friend.
"Yes...I just want to go home." Alice added, still looking at the floor. She felt very embarrassed, standing before a princess in a reindeer themed outfit wasn't exactly the best first impression.
"I believe that may be for the best." Palutena said, feeling slightly disappointed that she wouldn't get to speak more with this Zelda. She had always heard about the many Zeldas through time, and was looking forward to learning more form a different incarnation of her.
"I'll pay you...how much money do you want? I'll give you 500 bucks." Carla said, reaching into her pocket for the folded bills. A big stack of 20s with 2 hundred dollar bills on top.
"Are you seriously trying to bribe our princess?" Impa asked, taken aback by Carla's sudden offer.
"I mean...if I can get her to say yes, then sure. I don't mind sparing some money."
"I do not wish to take your money...I don't think it has any value in this world. We only use Rupees. However...if you are so intent on getting me to join you...then I need you all to fulfill something for me."
"Uh...what?" Veruca asked.
"Sure, we'll do anything. Do we have your word that you'll come with us if we fulfill whatever it is you ask of us?" the brown haired Lucky Student asked. Zelda smirked, giving her a nod.
"Oh sure...I'm certain you'll be able to pull this off. If you want me to join you, then you have to go to the temple in the woods and bring me back the Master Sword. Only those with high amounts of courage are able to pull it. Bring it here and I'll go with you to this party."
"Alright Chief! We'll bring you the sword, where is it exactly?" Carla asked, a look of excitement on her face.
"Deep within the Faron Woods, you'll find a temple. At its depths, you'll find the Pedestal of the Master Sword. Do be careful, there are dangerous creatures there." Impa said firmly.
"Do not fret, I shall provide them with tools for this journey, and accompany them myself. It has been an honor meeting you, Princess Zelda."
"Same to you, Lady Palutena." Zelda said, waving at the four as they left the throne room. Impa waited for a moment, before turning to face her Princess.
"You are aware that those that are weak of heart, courage, power and wisdom die when they touch the sword right?"
"I am aware...none of those girls are weak of heart. However, they do not possess the power, courage and wisdom to pull it. Sad to say, but I doubt they'll be able to secure the sword."
"Hey, we're back and we brought the sword!" Carla cried, walking back into the room, followed by the others. Zelda's jaw dropped, as she stood up from her seat. Carla stood before her, holding the sword out to her.
"How? How did you manage to get there and back so fast?" she cried.
"We do have a portal gun...we just input the coordinates, found the temple and pulled the blade." Veruca said, arms crossed. Zelda looked the sword over, still not able to believe what she was seeing. She sighed, pinching her eyes.
"Fine...I gave you my word, so I shall go with you to this party. Impa, would you mind watching over things while I'm gone?"
"Of course Princess...I'll take care of things." she said, a small smirk on her face. Zelda grumbled a bit, patting her dress.
"I still find it hard to believe that you managed to pull this out of the pedestal."
"Eh...I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student, my luck is legendary. If I bank on it hard enough, awesome things happen. My hand started sizzling when I grabbed it, but then everything went poof and I pulled it free." she said. She slipped the sword into the sheathe she had gotten at the temple, strapping it around her shoulder.
"Shall we go then? I don't believe we have much time." Palutena said.
"Yes, allow us to return home already."
"Yeah yeah, but I'm still not done with my list." she said, putting in the name of another world, opening a portal.
"Whelp, Princesses first." Carla said, pushing Zelda forward, just so she wouldn't try to escape.

"Have you noticed some our friends are acting weird?" Mei-Ling asked, glancing up from the chessboard before her. She was currently in a match with Calem, one that she wasn't winning.
"I have...several of them left the school earlier acting weird. Not to mention, some of them returned and were even weirder than when they came back." he said. He grabbed a hold of his rook, moving it forward, earning a sigh from Mei-Ling. She moved one of her Pawns, only for it to get taken.
"Shit."
"You really suck at this game." the boy mused.
"You suck! I'm better at Chinese Checkers anyway." she said, sticking her tongue out at the boy.
"Well, Chinese Checkers is a bit easier to play. But perhaps we should take a break. It's been rather quiet today, I guess that's to be expected since most if not everyone in school is gone." the boy said, earning a nod from Mei-Ling.
"Yeah, only a few of us chose to stay behind. What about you? Aren't you going back to Seattle to visit your dad?"
"I am, but it will be after the new year. My father wants to meet you, and since I'm going to meet your mother, I was going to ask her something." he asked, earning a curious look from the Folklore researcher.
"That being?"
"Well, I was going to ask her permission to let you come along with me. If you want of course." he said, a flush on his cheeks. Mei-Ling giggled, giving him a nod.
"I'd love too! I've never been to Seattle before, as long as you take me to the Space Needle of course."
"Duh, that's the first place we're visiting." Calem said, giving the girl a smile.
"Oh, hello you two. I wasn't expecting to see either of you out here." the familiar voice of the Ultimate Princess said, grabbing their attention.
Sonia hadn't changed much over the years, in fact she had grown even more beautiful. Her platinum blonde hair was up in a ponytail, which cascaded down her back. She was wearing a lose fitting dress, with short puffy sleeves and bright pink flowers printed on it. The dress had a lowcut collar, showing off some of her cleavage. She was wearing a heart shaped emerald necklace around her neck, a gift from Daisuke. The dress cut off at an angle past her knees, and she was wearing cream colored slippers. Though that made her stand out, aside from her beauty, was her swollen stomach. The Ultimate Princess was currently seven months pregnant with triplets. She had a tired look on her face, but was still wearing her radiating smile.
"Lady Sonia, I wasn't expecting you back so soon. Here, please sit down." Calem said, guiding the woman to the love seat beside them. She sighed, giving the boy a smile.
"Thank you Calem, you don't have to call me lady though. Just Sonia is fine."
"You sound like a broken record Sonia, you know he's not going to." Mei-Ling said, earning a nod from her.
"Yes, I am aware. Anyway, what are you two up to? I thought you two were on a date, if so I'm sorry for intruding."
"You aren't...we were just taking a break. The Christmas Party won't be starting until later. The Christmas Concert will be soon, so we're just waiting for the clock to count down." the Ultimate Strategist said.
"Though I am a bit curious. I saw Daisuke and Hiyoko leaving the academy earlier, with Sayaka, Yuno, Celestia and Chris. They were all acting weird...have you spoken with them?"
"I have not...if anything, I believe Sayaka may have given them some weed. I'm alright with them smoking it, just as long as they don't do anything stupid. I know just how stressed Daisuke is." she said, frowning a bit.
"Is...something the matter Lady Sonia?" Calem asked, earning a sigh from her.
"Some of the people on the Novoselic Council believe that I'm unfit to rule. It seems that mixing blood with a foreigner instead of a royal heir from Novoselic tainted the bloodline. Thus, many of them are questioning whether my parents are fit to rule as well. However, the elders are against the new council members. It's lead to various arrangements, which required me to be present as. I couldn't go to Novoselic, so we had to go to the Embassy here in California. My father was pretty pissed off." she said firmly.
"But why? I mean...you are a Princess...why are they questioning you?" Mei-Ling asked.
"It isn't about that...they aren't questioning her. They're questioning the man she married. I've read up on Novoselic, and the history is quite interesting. Normally, the King and Queen are to choose the husband or wife of the heir apparent. However, Lady Sonia broke that tradition when she chose to marry Daisuke. He performed all of the rituals, presented her with the Golden Makango and became an official citizen by eating a Skong, and yet the Council question him." Calem said.
"You're very read up. Alas, you are correct...they think that my time in Japan messed up my judgment. That Daisuke isn't fit to rule as my king because he's a plebeian. Not to mention, they are speaking ill about Hiyoko too, calling her a concubine and an future usurper. Saying that if she wants, now that she's a Grand Duchess, she could kill us all and take over the Monarchy. It's all bullshit, and it really annoys the shit out of me, especially when I'm seven months pregnant with three kids." she snapped, slamming her fist against the arm rest.
"Just, take a deep breath. Remember, in the end it doesn't matter what the Council does. King Arthur and Queen Diane will not be taken off the throne. I believe you will be a great ruler, Lady Sonia." Calem said, earning a smile from the boy.
"I know...however, to appease the council, I've decided to rescind my title. While I'll still be recognized as a Princess, I will allow my younger brother to take the throne before me. My parents are already up in age, and they want to enjoy their time together. My brother has been groomed as the perfect king, and is already dating a duchess in our court. Once they're wed, he will be succeeding my father."
"Was this your choice? Or was it forced upon you?" Mei-Ling asked, sounding surprised.
"No...it was a choice that I discussed alone with my parents. Daisuke was named Prince as well, but according to the Council, he isn't fit to rule either. We came to this agreement, however I shall instead be the official Ambassadress of Novoselic, as well as the representative of Novoselic in the United Nations. We've also agreed to have our children be heirs, only if necessary."
"That's a rather bold and mature choice Lady Sonia. I suppose I must commend you."
"Hmm...it is a good choice...but not one I wished to make. All my life, I've been groomed to be a Princess. I had to watch what I ate, I had to read the right things. I had to learn military tactics, learn the proper way to rule, to judge, to speak. Now that I won't be the heiress to the crown...I feel a little empty. Like...everything I've been preparing for...is just pointless." Sonia said, bowing her head slightly.
"It is not! Sonia, you are still a Princess! Not to mention you are going to be the best mom in the world. You already love your kids, even though they haven't been born. I remember the day you told everyone that you were pregnant. Daisuke was so happy, he wouldn't stop hugging you. Hiyoko had that proud smile on her face. It doesn't matter if you are the heiress or not...as long as you have your family by you, it'll be alright."
"Thank you Mei...I suppose the little dragon is as wise as people say huh?" she asked.
"Mhmm...speaking of which, you have thought of names for the babies right?"
"Only two. Mikan got to name one of the girls, Serendipity. Daisuke named the second girl Lavenza. Hiyoko was annoyed because she wanted to name her Hiyoko Jr. but he beat her to it." she said, earning a chuckle from Calem.
"What about the boy?"
"No...we were thinking of a traditional Japanese name. Either that or something Spanish, since Daisuke is from Spain. Erika wants to name him Luis, but that's because she's obsessed with Despacito."
"Ugh...you had to mention that?" Mei-Ling asked, a look of annoyance on her face. Sonia gave her a smile.
"Sorry dear...I know you hate that song."
"Hmm...well, I would like to help you come up with a name, but I currently don't have anything."
"It's alright Calem, I'm sure we'll come up with something." Sonia said, giving the boy a smile. She paused slightly, placing her hand over her belly.
"Oh...I felt a kick."
"Oh, can I feel? Please?" Mei-Ling asked. Sonia rolled her eyes, giving her a nod. The young girl stood up from her seat, placing her hand over the Princess's swollen stomach. Sonia guided her hand along, pressing firmly down. It didn't take long for the girl to feel a kick right on her hand.
"Wow! Whoever that is, they're going to be a strong kicker!"
"Maybe an Ultimate Soccer Player." Calem joked, earning a giggle from Sonia.
"Maybe...though I believe they might follow in the family tradition. Daisuke wants to teach them the fundamentals of writing, while Hiyoko wants to teach them to dance. I myself wish to teach them how to fire a Howitzer, just as I was taught when I was five."
"What? You got to fire a huge gun when you were five? Why?"
"Because Mei-Ling, it's part of our schooling. Novoselician schools teach military tactics. I could drive a tank when I was 6 and a half. We're a peaceful country, but we must be ready for the eventual Alien takeover." she said, her voice being ominous.
"Pfft...yeah, just be sure they don't attack you during the winter."
"Of course, I doubt they would make that mistake." Sonia said, rolling her eyes.
"YES!"
The three jumped slightly when Miu came into view, wearing a rather sexy Santa Clause outfit. Calem couldn't help but stare, but the glare he got from Mei quickly deterred him. The Ultimate Inventor stopped before the three, holding her phone up.
"Look! Fakku is going to save Hentai Haven! My Christmas is fuckin saved!"
"Any reason why you needed to share that with us?" Sonia asked curiously.
"Duh, because Hentai is life! I know you, Hiyoko and Daisuke watch some when you get busy. Hey, quick question, do you and Daisuke still do it? If so, does his dick hit the babies when you do?" Miu asked curiously.
"Miu, that is not how things work. My kids are in my womb, not in my vaginal canal. You ask me this every month." Sonia said.
"Oh right yeah...you look ready to pop. I heard sperm loosens the kids up, so make sure you fuck a lot before they're time is ready. Anyway, I'mma go watch some Hentai! Catch ya around!" she cried, quickly running off. Sonia sighed, shaking her head.
"There is something terribly wrong with that woman, truly." she said.
"Um...Sonia, is it true that semen loosens up the babies?" Mei-Ling asked, cheeks flushed red.
"I uh...I'm not sure...perhaps we should ask Mikan about that...ah shit. She's on a date with Makoto right now...guess we'll have to wait until they're back."
"Let's face it...Makoto and Mikan's idea of a date is screwing each other in an Ikea bathroom." Calem said, earning a gasp from Mei-Ling.
"Calem! How can you say that about our friends?"
"But it's true. Me, Hiyoko and Daisuke were apartment hunting in Los Angeles and decided to look at Ikea. We had never been to one, so we decided to go inside. We saw Makoto and Mikan looking around for something and secretly followed them. They went into the Family Bathroom for a quickie." Sonia said.
"It wasn't the first time either, Jon and Veruca saw them at Wal-Mart. Apparently they were doing it in the fitting rooms too."
"Oh my...maybe we should talk to them about that?" Mei-Ling asked.
"Nah...let them have their fun...would you two care to accompany me? I believe some tea will do me some good. I'm also craving some chocolate covered pickles."
"Ew."
"You won't be saying that when your seven months along and the cravings hit." the Princess said, glancing at the Ultimate Folklore Researcher with a smirk.

"Alright! That one is all mine!" Carla cried, a grin on her face as she picked the red and white sphere off the ground. She, along with Veruca, Alice, and their companions Zelda and Palutena, were currently in the Kalos Region.
The brunette had told them that as part of her gift, she had to get something from that world as well. That being a Pokemon named Sylveon. Of course she needed a Pokeball as well, so it had been a goose chase to find one. But after awhile, they managed to procure one, as well as rent a Pokemon to use in order to capture it. Veruca glanced at her watch, noticing it was nearing 3:00 in the afternoon. She glanced up at Carla, a look of annoyance on her face.
"Can we speed this along? We wasted an hour and a half going in bloody circles around this place." she said.
"It wasn't all that bad...I think the Pokemon here really like me!" Alice said, smiling a bit as she hugged the Eevee she had captured close to her bosom. The furry Pokemon was yipping happily, nuzzling his cheek against her soft flesh.
"Do you think it's wise to take a creature from its home universe to another one? Wouldn't that mess with its diet?" Palutena asked curiously.
"Not really...I mean, it's like I explained before. We're part of a universe that's keenly aware of itself. All of us know that we're just a fun way for everyone to destress after the long murder scenes in the original story." Carla said, minimizing the Pokeball, placing it in her pocket.
"Um...what?" Zelda asked.
"Just go with it...you aren't gonna get a solid answer out of that one I'm afraid. Still, we finally finished this bloody list, so let us return to Earth and go home." Veruca said.
"Except we haven't! I still need two more people before we can call it a day!"
"UGH!" Everyone cried in unison.
"What?"
"Listen, I agreed to come to a party, not a wild goose chase. So if we aren't going to this party, then can I return home?" Zelda asked.
"I'm actually enjoying myself...I don't mind going along with this plan for now." Palutena said.
"Guys chillax! The next Universe is our last one, I can just nab the last two ladies from this one. Sheesh, you invite them on an unforgettable adventure and all they do is complain." Carla said with an eyeroll. She opened the portal before them, stepping inside.
This time, the world itself was completely different. It looked a lot less cheery than the Kalos Region. Carla also noticed that she was wearing something else entirely, something akin to armor. Veruca and Alice were wearing some armor too, mostly iron guards, metal chest plates and armored boots. Ironically enough, neither Palutena or Zelda seemed to have armor, though both had shields now, with Zelda sporting the Master Shield, and a rapier at her hip, and Palutena bearing her own Mirror Shield.
"Where the fuck are we now?" Veruca shouted, her voice echoing through the area.
"According to the gun, somewhere in Nohr." Carla replied, strapping the device to her waist. She started walking forward, only for Veruca to grab a hold of her arm, spinning her around.
"You listen here you deft blue poxxed twat! You will return us home this instant, or so help me I will end you!"
"Aw...that's a weird way of saying I love you Ruru! Seriously, all we need is two more people and we're done, promise." she said.
"Two people...two people, and that's it." the Nut Princess said.
"You got it Chief!"
They didn't get much farther, before they were surrounded by what looked like foot soldiers. Veruca almost screamed when she saw the large wyvern flying above her, accompanied by several Pegasi. A few people on horses appeared as well, all of them bearing their weapons. Carla smirked slightly, wrapping her hand around the hilt of the Master Sword, preparing to draw it.
"You thought you could get the jump on us eh? Hoshidan Filth?" a firm voice said. This belonged to a large imposing blonde man, who was currently sitting atop a brown stallion, a firm look on his face.
"Excuse you, but I am not filth!" Veruca snapped, almost in reflect. She noticed someone drawing an arrow from the corner of her eye. She swallowed hard, grabbing a hold of Alice's arm, who was struggling to keep her Eevee from running off.
"Now now...let's not kill them yet. They're just a group of wondering young girls. Perhaps we could interrogate them?" another voice said. This came from a beautiful violet haired woman, currently sitting on the wyvern that was above them.
"Ah well...I dunno what information you want from us but, we're actually here in search of someone. Two people in fact...I don't think I got the universe right though."
"What are you talking about?" the blonde man asked, clearly confused. Carla cleared her throat.
"Okay...is there anyone named Rowan or Lianna among you?" she asked. Everyone seemed to stiffen a bit, at the mention of their names. A few people went as far as drawing their swords.
"Carla, for fuck sakes! These people wanna kill us, could you maybe hurry it the fuck up? I am not going to die in another world because of you. I am sick and tired of this mother fucking horse shit you are pulling on us. Either you bring us home, or you hand over that goddamn gun!"
Zelda and Palutena cringed a bit at the volume of which the Nut Specialist screamed. They took a few steps away from her. Alice and Eevee did the same, with the small Pokemon burying its face in the girl's large breasts. Everyone else just remained silent, while Carla just sighed.
"Honestly...here I am, trying to get your boyfriend, my best friend, a cool Christmas gift, and you just gotta ruin it. It isn't polite to scream in front of others you know." the Ultimate Lucky Student replied, rather nonchalant.
"Anyway...as I was so kindly asking before...we're not here to hurt any of you. We're not here to kill you, steal from you or stop you from...whatever shit it is you are up to. If it makes you feel any better, Hoshido sucks."
"Yeah!" someone cried, which resulted in the rest of the soldiers following suit. The man on the horse sighed, deciding it was time to get off. He was a tall imposing man, who stood far taller than Carla.
"My name is Xander, Prince of Nohr. How might I help you?"
"Ah...so I am in the right place, good good. My name is Carla Williamson, Ultimate Lucky Student. I'm here because two of your sisters, Princess Camilla and Princess Elise have been cordially invited to attend a Christmas party." she said, reaching into her shirt for two formal invitations, handing them to the man.
"Why us?" the violet haired, wyvern rider asked, having joined her brother on the ground. A third, much younger looking girl joined them, also rather confused. Her eyes settled on Palutena, gasping loudly.
"Oh my gosh! I know you, you're Lady Palutena! I remember Corrin telling us about you! When she was invited to that Smash Tournament thingie! Is this it? Are we being invited too?" the blonde girl cried, a look of excitement on her face.
"Uh...yeah! You've been invited to participate in Smash! Palutena and Zelda here are representatives on behalf of Master Foot!"
"Master Hand." Palutena corrected.
"Yeah him."
"Hmm...well, if we've been invited, I can't exactly turn him down." Camilla said, a smile on her face.
"Same here! Will you be able to handle things here big brother?" Elise asked, glancing at her older brother Xander.
"I suppose...we've amassed quite a large army. I don't suppose there's an invitation for me?" the man asked.
"About that...the only invitations we got were these two...but if you're lucky, you'll get in as an Assist Trophy. Anyway, we have to go...places to go, people to see." Carla said, typing a sequence in her gun, opening a portal.
"Take care of our sister, you know how excited she gets."
"Of course Xander, you take care of our dear little sister would you?" Camilla said, earning a nod from the man. Carla said nothing as she ushered everyone into the portal.
"Heh...that was easier than expected." she said, just as she slipped through the portal. Xander blinked a few times, sighing audibly before turning to his troops.
"Let's go men...we'll have to reconfigure our ranks. But we will prevail!"
"Yeah! Down with Hoshido!"

"Please tell me this is a joke." Veruca said, looking around the field. They were still in their armored outfits, looking around the much brighter looking field.
"It isn't...I gotta get one more person." Carla said, earning a growl from Veruca.
"This doesn't look like the mansion Corrin described." Elise said, glancing at her sister.
"We're in a field dear...I doubt we'd get there instantly. Though I must say, the technology Master Hand provides is quite amazing." Camilla said, eyeing the portal gun that Carla was using. They all watched the girl standing stock still, eyes closed as she almost felt the wind. Her eyes suddenly snapped open, and she ran forward, cutting through some trees.
"Ugh, that idiot! I swear, I'm going to bury this sword in her neck!" Veruca cried, running after her friend, sword in hand.
Carla jumped through the brush, landing at what looked like a campsite. It was only then that everyone realized it was actually night time, as the fire was lighting up the camp. The people around it were startled, having jumped to their feet, drawing a great number of weapons.
"Halt, state your business!" a man cried, holding his sword tightly in his hands. Carla straightened up a bit, glancing at the people around the fire.
"Hmm...is there anyone named Robin here? About yea tall, white hair, wears a huge purple coat?" she asked.
"Uh...yeah, that's me." the boy in question said, holding his sword and Levin Sword at the ready. Carla looked him over, pouting her lips a bit.
"Are you transgender?"
"What?"
"Ugh...I mean, I was looking for a girl, not you. You wouldn't happen to have a twin sister would you?" he asked.
"Carla, for the last time, let us go home!" Veruca cried, finally finding the girl. It wasn't long before they were joined by the others, all of them having drawn their weapons, though Alice remained in the back, panting a bit from the run.
"In a minute...can't you see I'm in a crisis right now?"
"Hey wait a minute...I know you! You're Chrom, aren't you?" Elise cried, pointing at the man, who just tilted his head in confusion.
"Yes...that's my name, have we met before?"
"Oh my gosh...now we're just hopping around aren't we? I think the Author of this story lost the plot." Palutena said.
"No...if he had lost the plot, I think we would be fighting Darth Vader or something." Alice replied.
"Shiiiit...Okay, I see my mistake now. I accidentally put M instead of F. my bad, I didn't mean to bother you...we'll be going!" Carla said, opening another portal. She gave Chrom a wink, blowing a kiss in his direction before walking through the portal. It didn't take long for the others to file into the portal, which blinked out of existence a moment later.
"Hey Chrom, did that just happen?" Robin asked.
"Yeah...yeah it did."

"Alright, this time it should be right. I swear, if I just pop back into that camp site again, it's gonna be sooo embarrassing."
"Hey, that Eevee can attack things right?" Zelda asked, earning a nod from Alice.
"I'm sure it can, though I befriended him without the aid of a Pokeball."
"Hmm...think you can ask it to tackle that crazy girl with the gun? The way I see it, we won't ever be able to go home." she said.
"I can't! Carla might be crazy, but she's my friend. I don't want to hurt her."
"But I thought you wished to get home to your boyfriend." the Princess said.
"Well I do...but she's doing this for him. You see, Carla and Jonathan are really really close. It turns out both of them were orphans at one point. She sort of promised to make his Christmas the best one, since she was going to graduate and spread her wings around the world. She really cares for him, so I'm just going a long with it." she said.
"You are far too kind, you know that?" Veruca asked.
"Bah...you can't complain...I think it's sweet that she cares so much about him." she replied.
"If she cares so much about him, why doesn't she join your little harem?" Palutena asked curiously.
"Whoa what? Harems are allowed in your world?" Elise asked.
"I somehow believe we're all being roped into being part of something like that. Well...I suppose if the boy is cute, I wouldn't mind too much." Camilla added, licking her lips slightly.
"No...it isn't like that. Carla doesn't do that because she sees Jonathan as a big brother. Though they did mess around during our Freshmen year, I guess it didn't work out too good for them. As for the harem thing, we don't have one...it's just a joint relationship." Veruca said.
"Mhmm...the author of our story is always pairing main characters in 3s. I guess it's a reference to Histoire of Hyperdimension Neptunia, who can only do things in 3s." Alice said.
"About to be four technically, since I heard in the last authors note Tsubaki was joining us."
"Oh...that should be interesting I guess." the Ultimate Veterinarian said, frowning slightly.
"The amount of 4th wall breaking is astounding." Palutena said, holding back her giggles.
"If this young man intends to get me into his harem, he better be ready to rule as Prince of Hyrule. I don't just bed anyone you know."
"And Zelda's already lost the point of this chapter...awesome." Veruca muttered, sighing audibly.
"AHA! Gotcha!" Carla cried, tackling someone to the ground. The white haired girl beneath her looked at her in shock, eyes widened in surprise.
"Get off me! Help, I'm being attacked!" she cried, only for Carla to cover her mouth. She grabbed a hold of the tome beside the girl, tossing it to Veruca.
"Now now, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to invite you to a party! You've been invited to participate in a Smash Tournament!" she said. The girl pulled Carla's hand away from her mouth, looking up at the girl.
"A Smash tournament? So Master Hand sent you? What universe are you from?"
"I'm a Mii fighter." Carla replied.
"If I agree to go will you get off me?" she asked.
"Sure! Welcome to the club Female Robin!" Carla said, helping the white haired girl off the ground. She shook her head a bit, glancing over at the other girls standing before her.
"Lady Palutena? Princess Zelda?"
"Hello Robin, it's been awhile hasn't it?" Palutena said.
"It has been awhile...what are you doing here?"
"It's a long story...just go along with it." the goddess replied.
"Finally! We have everything we need, but before going home, are any of you hungry? I'm buying!" Carla cried, holding out her stack of bills.
"You know what...yes, I fucking am, can we go?" Veruca said. The Ultimate Lucky Student tossed her the gun.
"Your choice. I'll buy whatever you ladies wanna eat!" she said. Veruca didn't need to be told twice. She opened the portal, sighing contently when she passed through the portal, being met with the familiar streets of Anaheim.
"Ah...home sweet home!"
"This is Anaheim?" Palutena asked.
"Ugh...it smells horrid." Zelda asked.
"Look at those carriages! They move on their own, without any horses!" Elise cried, eyes widening a bit when she saw all of the cars moving around.
"I believe they're called Cars dear." Camilla said.
"This looks nothing like the Smash Mansion, I've been there before. Did you lie to me?" Robin asked, glancing at Carla who shook her head.
"Not really...I said you were going to be invited to Smash, just not the Smash you are familiar with. Don't worry, I'll bring you all to your worlds when this party is done. And besides, you'll have amazing stories to share with your peeps. Just stay close to use, don't venture into any alleys, if someone asks you for change, politely decline, avoid the piss, and if you see a blank wall, tell me. I wanna draw a dick on it!"
"Let's go you damn pervert...we're going to get some food and then getting this damn party over with." Veruca said, pulling the girl along. Alice just smiled at the five girls before her.
"It won't be to terribly long...I promise, you'll like it here."
"I look forward to whatever entertainment you can provide for us." Palutena said, looking genuinely interested.
"Is it just me...or is it abnormally hot here?" Robin asked, fanning herself with her hand.
"This armor wasn't exactly made for the heat, Nohr is a northernmost country, so it's thick enough to yield the cold." Camilla added, panting a bit.
"I dunno what you are talking about, I feel just fine."
"You're wearing a skirt Elise."
"Well excuse me, maybe you should wear a skirt sis." the girl said, huffing a bit as she followed after the others.
"Wow...look at those cosplayers!"
"They're so spot on, if I didn't know any better, that's the real Camilla!"
"Elise is so cute, I wish she didn't die in Birthright though."
"Huh? What? What do you mean die?" Elise cried, eyes widening a bit as she looked at the man. Camilla pulled her along.
"It seems they know us from somewhere...that's rather odd. Perhaps we should ask Veruca and Alice more about this world."
"Elwind!"
A loud explosion followed by shattering glass filled the air, causing everyone to jump slightly. Robin was staring down a man, who was laying unconscious on the ground. She snapped her tome closed, tugging on her coat a bit.
"Pervert, the next time you touch me, I shall slice you in half with my sword!" she cried.
"Goddamn it! Don't use magic you idiot, we're trying to be on the down low here!" Veruca cried, earning a flush from the girl.
"My apologies, that man was getting far too touchy for me. I needed to show him I wasn't messing around."
"Yeah, that's all well and good, just don't use magic. It doesn't exist here, and if everyone sees it, then we'll get caught. Then you'll all be taken to some secret government lab where you'll be sliced and diced to figure out where the magic comes from!" Carla said cheerfully.
"Maybe we should just...not use magic then." Palutena said.
"Agreed." the others said.
Veruca sighed, pinching her eyes...she really wanted to go back to the Academy. She briefly wondered how her boyfriend was currently doing. Though she figured he was most likely doing better than her at the moment.

"Veruca, Alice, where are you?" Jonathan mumbled, trying and failing to contact either of his girlfriends. He frowned when he heard Alice's peppy voice mail. He ended the call, slipping the phone into his back pocket.
"Still not reaching your girls?" Setsuko asked, causing the boy to whirl around.
She was wearing a rather festive outfit. Despite her height, she had decided not to wear any platform shoes, not wanting to fall on stage. She was wearing a felt red Santa outfit. It consisted of a red coat, with a fluffy white collar, and long sleeves. The cuffs were a fluffy white, and she was wearing a black belt around her waist, with a square shaped buckle at the center. She was wearing a pair of long striped stockings, and matching black thigh high boots. Her hair was left down, past her shoulders, and she was wearing a red Santa Clause hat, with her name stitched to the white part. She still had her glasses on, as she didn't have any contacts to use at the moment.
Jonathan himself had remained in his mostly monochrome style. Though he had gone a bit out. Instead of his hoodie, he decided to get his own Christmas themed outfit. He was wearing an ugly sweater, despite being hot in the building. It was black and white and made out of wool, with a mistletoe printed on the front. It was a light up version, with blinking lights around the red frame. He was was still wearing his skinny jeans, which were black and white, and had gotten custom made boots to match. Atop his head, sat a black Santa hat, with white fluffy cuff and a matching puff ball at the top.
"I'm just a little worried. With Carla, you never know what is going to happen, I have a bad feeling you know?"
"It's fine. You're just worrying...with good reason I guess...just try not to let it bother you. They'll be here soon, I'm sure of it. Now, we got a crowd out there and we've gotta put on a show. Then it's party time." Setsuko said, earning a chuckle from the boy.
"And that's why you're the Frontman of our band Setsu." he said, earning a smile from the girl.
He took a deep breath, slipping through the curtains, facing the, admittedly small crowd. It consisted of most of Class 24, along with the few students that remained of Class 78 and 79 of Hope's Peak Academy. Aside from Hiyoko, Daisuke and Sonia, no one from 77B had stuck around, all of them having either returned home for the season or at a party with friends. Tsubaki, Kaikane and Ibuki were already in their places as the two stood at the front of the stage.
"Well...welcome to our small Christmas Concert everyone! I'd like to thank Miss Caroll and Dean Winters for allowing us to do this. As well as letting us host the Christmas Party here. You might not like our style of music, but I do hope you enjoy these songs." Setsuko said, giving a wave to the two adults in the room. A few other staff members were hanging around, including Dan who was struggling to keep Gabriella from drinking.
"That's right! We're gonna sing a few songs, but the real treat is the brand new song that I wrote just for the season. So sit tight and enjoy the explosion of metalcore about to assault your ears." Jonathan said, grabbing a hold of his black and what Fender Stratocaster. He slung it over his shoulder, he pulled the microphone from the stand, handing it to Setsuko.
"The first song I'm going to sing is one of my favorites. It's the Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle that me and Jon wrote two years ago! I hope you love it!" Setsuko said. She took a deep breath, giving a nod to the rest of the band.
"Do You Folks Like Coffee?
Real Coffee,
From the Hills Of Colombia?
The Duncan Hills awake you
From A Thousand Deaths.
A Cup Of blackened Blood.
(Die, Die)
You're Dying For A Cup.
Guatemala Blend,
Ethiopian,
French Vanilla Roast.
(Die, Die)
You're Dying For A Cup.
Prepare For Ultimate Flavor!
You're Gonna Get Some... now
And Scream... For Your Cream."
Jonathan held back a laugh as his fingers ran across the guitar strings. He could tell Setsuko was enjoying herself, especially with the wide eyed looks the crowd was giving her. He slowly closed his eyes, focusing on the solo, smiling slightly. Tsubaki ended the last notes of the solo, just in time for Setsuko to come in with the finisher.
"Duncan Hills,
Duncan Hills,
Duncan Hills Coffee."
Everyone broke into applause, causing Setsuko to blush slightly. Jonathan gave her a pat on the shoulder, a sign that she had done a great job with the song. He sometimes had a hard time believing someone so small could sing like that. It was honestly one of the trade marks of their band.
"That was Setsuko, professing her undying love for coffee. Now then, let us turn to Tsubaki, who's going to lead us into the next song. Setsuko, you game to take over?" Jonathan asked.
"Mhmm...sure thing." she said, swapping places with the white haired Figure Skater.
"Alright, we're gonna do a full band cover of Shatter Me by Lindsey Stirling. Think you can keep up little bro?"
"Oh haha...I think I can handle the bass line, you didn't write it after all." he said, earning a chuckle from Ibuki.
"It'll be just fine! Ibuki has faith in you Kai!" she cried out.
Setsuko started the song first, followed by Kaikane who came in with the light bass line. Jonathan focused mostly on rhythm, making sure the other instruments were in line, while adding his own flair to the piece. He cleared his throat away from the microphone, preparing for his part of the song.
"I Pirouette in the Dark,
Tired mechanical heart
Beats till the song disappears."
"Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
Shatter me!
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
If only the clockworks could speak
I wouldn't be so alone
We burn every magnet and spring
And spiral into the unknown
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
Shatter me!
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!"
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray.
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
Shatter me!
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!"
The song ended, with Tsubaki giving everyone a bow, her long white locks flying in all directions. Everyone clapped loudly, with Junko cheering for Kaikane who had a flush on his cheeks. Jonathan was clapping as well, giving Tsubaki a smile.
"You did excellent Tsubaki! You've come such a long way, maybe you'll be the Ultimate Vocalist by the end of the year?" he said jokingly.
"Pfft...nah, I like figure skating too much. It's all thanks to the advice you gave me! But my place is being the lead guitar." she said, rolling her eyes. Jonathan took his guitar off his shoulder, handing it to Tsubaki.
"Well, you'll be playing Rhythm now. Now we're getting to the good stuff." he said with a wink, relieving her of the lead spot on the stage.
"This next song is another cover. I loved this song so much when it dropped, that I just needed to take a crack at it. It's called Losing My Life, by Falling in Reverse. Hope you guys like it!"

"And we're here!" Carla said, a grin on her face as she turned to face her interdimensional guests. The 5 women all gawked as they looked at the building that made up most of Morning Hope Academy.
"Oh my...this is a lot larger than I expected." Camilla said, eyes widened in surprise.
"This is a learning institution?" Palutena asked.
"That's right, this is one of several schools on the Hope's Peak Academy Charter System. Here, students from across the United States of America, and the world, come to improve their talents. Upon graduation, they'll be granted entree into any college of their choosing, along with full scholarships. The students that graduate from here, go on to become some of the brightest minds in the world." Veruca explained.
"Mhmm...we all have our specialties. We all do our best to bring a little bit of hope to the world." Alice said, hugging her Eevee tightly against her. The small fox had fallen asleep, much to her chagrin.
"Can you learn magic here?" Elise asked curiously.
"No...magic doesn't exist in our world. There is no such thing as magic or talents related to magic in Morning Hope Academy." Veruca said.
"Nu-uh! That's not true, what about Himiko?" Carla said.
"She's a stage magician, all she does are parlor tricks!"
"Oh? Then what about the Ultimate Witch, Shiori Ayashima?" the brunette said, only for the Nut Princess to put her hand over her mouth.
"Don't say that name! We don't have permission to use it, we'll get sued!" she said, earning a giggle from Alice.
"Dear me Veruca, I doubt anything too bad will happen." she said.
"Might we be able to head inside? I'd like to check out the facilities here." the green haired goddess said.
"Yeah sure, follow along if you'd please. We're a bit late to the concert, but we can still make the party. Also, keep these with you at all times, just in case." Carla said, handing each of the ladies a square shaped foil packet. They all looked at them with curiosity.
"Um...what's this for?" Zelda queried, not understanding the language written on it.
"It feels kind of squishy on the inside." Elise added, poking the packet a bit.
"I'm not going to explain what those are. Carla, seriously? You just had to hand them those?" Veruca asked.
"What? I want Jo-Jo's Christmas to be the best one ever! What boy doesn't want his own harem for Christmas?" she whispered back, earning a wide eyed look from Veruca.
"I'm going to strangle you."
Alas, Carla avoided being strangled as they made their way into the school. The three Ultimates had to keep their guests nearby, so they wouldn't get lost in the large school. Veruca opened the Theater Room door, ushering the ladies in, just as Jon had reached the final verse of his song.
"So where the fuck do I go from here?
(Who do I believe, who do I believe when everyone)
Feels so insincere?
(Everyone's out to get me)
Who will save my life?
(How do I believe, how do I believe in anyone?)
Please don't mind me
Cause I'm really trying
I just kill myself sometimes
I'm falling way too fast
I'm sinkin' in too deep
I need an angel now
That's watchin' over me
If I could just wake up
If I could make you see
I'm all alone, all alone with your sickness in me
Who will save my life?
How do I believe, how do I believe in anyone?
Please don't mind me
I just kill myself sometimes."
The young man panted a bit, grabbing a hold of his fallen hat as he fixed his hair. Everyone was showering the band with applause, praising them for another good song. The Ultimate Songwriter however glanced up, eyes widening when he saw Veruca and Alice, along with a few other women that he recognized far too well. He glanced over at Kaikane, who had the same look of shock on his face.
"Sorry we're late Jon, you wouldn't believe the shit we've had to deal with today." Veruca said, a tired but happy look on her face. Alice stood next to her, cradling the now awake Eevee in her arms.
"Is that an Eevee? Like a real Eevee?" the boy asked.
"Yup! He warmed up to me so now he's my little buddy. I wonder how Mr. Bon Bon will feel about this? Of course Shiori is taking care of him right now."
"Ah! We're gonna get sued, stop saying that name!" Veruca snapped, glaring at the blonde.
"Sorry."
"So, this is the man of legend? He doesn't look like much." Camilla said, her eyes tracing the boy a bit. Jonathan cleared his throat, tugging his sweater a bit. He had jumped down from the stage to meet them all in the aisle.
"Uh...you hired cosplayers?"
"Pfft...cosplayers...these are the real deal Jo-Jo! Remember back in Freshman year when you said you had a list of waifus you'd love to meet? Well here they are...I would have grabbed the rest of the list, but Ruru was constantly threatening my life." Carla said.
"It's an honor to meet you Jonathan."
"Lady Palutena? That's the real deal? And Princess Zelda too? Camilla, Elise, Robin?"
"Yep! I brought all of them just for you!"
"I see...so that's where the Portal Gun went." Celestia said, appearing next to the Ultimate Lucky Student, an angered look on her face.
"Esti! There you are...aw you look fantastic...you're eyes are bloodshot though."
"Yes, I am well aware of that. I'm still seeing funny colors too, I went to check on that prototype earlier and found it was missing. May I have it back? We have to return these ladies to their dimensions as fast as possible." she said.
"Hmm...about that." the brunette said, suddenly she aimed the gun down, a portal appearing under her feet. She sunk into it, the blue portal blinking out of existence.
"There goes my way home." Robin mumbled, pinching her eyes.
"Um, excuse me...Mister Jon, can you tell me what this is? Your crazy friend handed it to us and I have no idea what it's for. It's covered in this sticky stuff and looks like a balloon." Elise said, holding the unrolled pink condom out to the boy.
"Bollocks! That cheeky lass has lost the plot this time! My day was just great, but here comes Carla, throwing a spanner in the works. Bloody hell, that one truly is a few sandwiches short of a picnic." Jonathan said, having looked away from the blonde. Everyone just looked at him, confusion written on their faces.
"Okay...I myself am British, and even I didn't get that." Veruca said.
"Same here." Alice added. Jonathan sighed, pinching his eyes.
"Ah...you spend so much time with the cutest Brits in the school and you start talking like them. Whatever, it isn't like we're gonna find her now...Elise that...that thing in your hand is..." the boy leaned in cupping his hands over her ear, explaining to her what it was. She let out a gasp, dropping the item to the floor.
"Ew! That's so gross!"
"Hmm? Will you tell me what it's for?" Camilla asked.
"No! You don't wanna know what it's for!"
"Hehehehehe...I gotta get my kicks somehow." Jonathan said, walking back toward the stage. Kaikane helped him back onto it, giving him a nod.
"Alright, you ready for the Grand Finale, Setsu?"
"Damn straight I am! I've been waiting all week for this one!" the Media Critic cried, a grin on her face.
"I dedicate this one to Princess Sonia Nevermind, because if it wasn't for her obsession with slasher flicks, this one wouldn't have been written. It's fucking garbage day!" Jonathan said, snapping his fingers loudly.
Ibuki let out a laugh as she finally got to do what she had wanted to do all night. She grabbed a nearby rope, attached to a medium sized bell next to the drum set, striking it three times in rapid succession. Setsuko let out a dark chuckle, grabbing onto her microphone with a white knuckled grip.
Merry Axemas: Setsuko {Italics} Jon {Bold Italics} Setsuko and Jon {Underlined Italics}
"If you meet Santa Clause tonight boy
You better run for your life!"
T'was the night before Christmas
At just five years old
My parents were butchered
In the blistering cold
He seemed jolly at first
In his suit stained with red
He let out a laugh
But then left us for dead
That scene
So vicious
Taught me the meaning of Christmas
Punish the wicked
And don't ask for Santa's forgiveness
You will believe in me
Slaughtered under the tree
And I won't leave a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
I made sure the noose was yuletide tight
So much for a silent night
A silent night
T'was just three years later
Now orphaned and bruised
When the hands of the holy inflicted abuse
Tied down and lashed
Singled out from the pack
Took my season's beatings
Now it's time to give back
That scene
So vicious
Taught me the meaning of Christmas
Punish the wicked
And don't ask for Santa's forgiveness
You will believe in me
Slaughtered under the tree
And I won't leave a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
I made sure the noose was yuletide tight
So much for a silent night
A silent night
So now I'm slashing through the snow
And the hearse is on its way
With the mistletoe tags
Thank God it's Christmas day
I'm making my list
You're a slave to your vice
So I'm gonna find out who's naughty or nice
It's time to wreck the halls
Let nothing you dismay
Santa's taking out the trash
IT'S FUCKING GARBAGE DAY!
Taking out the trash
Garbage day is today
Taking out the trash
Garbage day is today
You will believe in me
Slaughtered under the tree
And I won't leave a witness
So much for a Merry Christmas
Now Santa's claws are out
The sinners scream and shout
I made sure the noose was yuletide tight
So much for a silent night
A silent night
Fa-la-la-la-la
Feliz navi-dead!
The song ended, being met with silence. It wasn't long before Sonia stood up, clapping and cheering loudly. It was obvious she had gotten the symbolism behind the lyrics. But everyone else was just lost. However it didn't take long for everyone to start clapping, filling the room with loud cheers. Setsuko flushed a bit, glancing up at Jonathan who just gave her a smile.
"I think we knocked them dead." he said jokingly.
"Pfft...you think? I've never been met with so much confusion in my life." she replied.
"Well...that's our show for the night! Thanks for coming everyone, now that we're done here, let's head to the cafeteria for the party! Everyone has been working hard, so let's go before the food gets cold!" Tsubaki said, setting her guitar down in its stand. Everyone slowly started filing out, except for Veruca, Alice and the girls they had brought with them.
"Jonathan, that song was absolutely amazing. It took me a bit to get the meaning of the lyrics, but I just wanted to say, you killed it." Veruca said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Alice did the same, wrapping an arm around him.
"You were wonderful out there luv."
"Thanks Buns, I'm glad that you liked it. I'm still having trouble believing this is a real Eevee though." he said, taking a hold of the small Pokemon. It blinked a few times, yipping cheerfully before jumping onto his shoulder.
"Aw, he likes you!" Elise said, a bright smile adorning her face.
"What style of music did you just play? I found it completely divine." Camilla said, earning a chuckle from the boy.
"Somehow I knew you'd like it. It's called Post Hardcore, and the song is based off of a movie series. Ah...you guys don't know what movies are...this is going to be hard to explain. I honestly don't know what Carla was planning on doing, but I'll make sure she takes you home okay?" he said.
"Hmm...I wasn't expecting someone to be so talented with music...say, are you interested in ruling a kingdom?" Zelda asked, looking the boy over.
"Eh?"
"Hey! If he's going to rule a kingdom, it'll be with me...back home in Nohr." Camilla said firmly, glaring at the blonde princess.
"As if, I don't think he likes women with knockers as huge as yours."
"Excuse you? Have you seen the pair Alice is wearing? I think he likes them just fine." the purplette returned, her crimson eyes boring into Zelda's blue ones.
"Uh...what the hell is going on?" Jonathan said.
"Ah...I think what you are experiencing is the side plot kicking in. We knew something like this was going to happen. I think you triggered the"Harem End"event flag." Veruca said, earning a confused look from the boy. She sighed, shaking her head.
"These damn gaming terms...just roll with it okay? We'll get them home later."
"Okay." he said, unable to do anything. He felt someone wrap their arms around his, and glanced down to see the smile on Elise's face.
"Come on! I wanna show you some magic!"
"I told you, no magic!" Veruca cried.
"But what about that Shiori girl?"
"Shut up!"
Somewhere in Japan, the Ultimate Witch let out a sneeze. She shook her head slightly, glancing down at her basket, making sure the cotton white bunny was safe within.
"S-someone's talking about me...I think it's Alice. I wonder how she's doing?"
The bunny in her basket did nothing, nose wiggling slightly. He too let out a small sneeze. He rubbed his face with his little paws, making the girl smile.
School Life Snippets 3: A Morning Hope Academy Christmas Part 3 End
A/N: Ugh...this chapter was such a pain in the ass to fucking write. And guess what, it turned into a fucking 4 parter. But I'm completely fine with that. I finally have all of the plot elements lined up. All that's left is the Christmas Party, and then the CHRISTMAS PARTY *Wink, Wink*.
Before you ask...no, there is no harem ending. There is no ending with Tsubaki, there is just an ending with Jon x Veruca and Alice. The only one who might make her way in there is either Elise or Robin because they're among my top ten favorite Fire Emblem Girls. Hell, maybe even Palutena because why not? Any mortal man would be lucky to bed a goddess.
Okay...I'm seriously considering the Harem Ending...but I'm most likely not going to write it. You ever start a story and it rapidly goes out of hand and you end up with a hodge podge of shit you don't even know how to explain? That's this special in a nutshell. It was supposed to be Christmas themed and now well...
Hey, at least now you all know, Sayaka and Yuno are Swingers, Chris and Celestia get real freaky, and now Junko has a Scientist Persona. So you at least have something of substance there.
Anyway...since I've finally finished this chapter...I wanna say thanks to Crit Fail and PrettyPunk for being awesome as always. Thanks to PokemanSuperAllStar, Bellatrixshine, Doomqwer, JustUsingARandomName and many others for always reading my stuff. Shout out to ColMeliCol for submitting Setsuko, who's rapidly become one of my favorite characters to write in this story. Thanks to GrandMasterCastiel for submitting Calem as well. I look forward to writing Mei x Calem in the future, and I do apologize for not being able to squeeze that lemon in this part.
I dunno if I'll post the final part of this before the New Year. But if I don't, I just wanna say, this year has been crazy. I lot of things happened, some good, some bad, but overall I'm happy to be back writing Danganronpa. If it wasn't for Crit Fail's story, I doubt I would have gotten back into the series, so huge thanks to him.
Speaking of that, Oasis of Hope is still in its early stages. As of now, we have gotten around 61 or 62 submissions. If you haven't yet, be sure to come up with an OC and shoot it over to Crit, or Me, I don't mind being the middle man. Be sure to check out his other stories, his Universe is Crazy Long and overall just plain crazy.
Again, thanks to everyone who reads this...you are all the reason I write this, even if this chapter isn't very good in my opinion. As long as you all like it, I guess that's what matters. See you all when I see ya!
