Tucker walked around the canyon, searching for anything that could be remotely Christmas-related. He stumbled upon a shining blue rock, and grabbed it. He pulled out a piece of make-shift string and attached the two together in a loop. He walked back to Blue Base, and got to the roof, where there was a very poor looking tree they had found and dug up, re-planting it in the center of the base for the holidays. It as surrounded in various items, from sticks and headlights to a street cone to top it off.
He put the rock around the tree, thinking it looked good. It was the best ornament they had found. As he turned around, he saw Caboose running up, a box full of actually good-looking Christmas orniments In his hands. Tucker had no idea where he found them.
"Caboose? How did you get those?" He asked, staring at the box full of silver and gold.
"Get them? I made them! Out of the power of the love and friendship I share with everyone who isn't red and Tucker! Like Mrs. Unicorn over there!" He pointed to a white horse that had a cardboard horn attached to it.
"Okay, then... Come on, lets just put these on.." Said Tucker digging through the box as Simmons walked into the base. "Simmons? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, just, uh.. Letting you know.. The competition is in five minutes.. So... Just keep working! We're totally not hiding anything! Why a would you think that?" He said, voice going higher as he spoke, fidgeting a little.
"Uh-huh. Yeah, we'll be there. Now, could you, like, go do whatever it is you were just doing?" Asked Tucker, slightly annoyed by the Red's presence.
"Oh, uh.. Yeah! I'll just be going, then! Nothing to worry about! At all." He then proceded to run out of the base as fast as he could. Yup, he was hiding something, but Tucker didn't really care. They soon had the tree finished and Tucker called Church over to help carry it to the center of the canyon. They placed it down and looked over to see all of the Reds with what looked like an actually good tree. Doc came over to the two groups. Because he was neutral in the whole Red vs. Blue thing, he would judge what tree was the best.
"Wouldn't it be wrong to single out one team as better at making trees than the other?" Doc asked, and everyone groaned.
"We wouldn't have had this stupid competition in the first place if that were true," Church said.
"I don't know. I don't want to make anyone feel bad.."
"So you're putting us at a tie?" Simmons asked.
"Sure!" Doc replied.
"That just ain't gonna do," Sarge said, "Simmons! Commence operation Point My Gun At Tucker."
"Yes, sir!" Simmons said, shooting Grif.
"Dammit Simmons, I said Tucker!"
"Point My Gun At Tucker is just a code name for Point My Gun At Grif, sir."
"Then just go with the plan."
Simmons nodded and walked over to the tree they made, which was really big by the way, and pressed a button. The whole tree contracted into a warthog and drove over to Sarge, where he got in the shotgun seat. Grif took drivers position and Simmons got the turret. He aimed at the slowly backing away Blues and began to shoot at them, destroying their tree first.
"Ha! Suck it, tree!"
"Everyone run!" Tucker screamed.
