"Come on, Voice," Noise called. "Arakune said we have to get a Christmas tree for the party."

"I'm coming as fast as I can," Voice grunted as he carried a huge ax over his shoulder. "This thing ain't so light, you know…"

"Voice," Noise hit her forehead with the palm of her hand. "I was thinking we would go to a store and buy the tree…"

"From humans? Not a chance!" Voice exclaimed. "I'm getting one by myself!"

"I don't like the humans either, but… You know what, you do that…" Noise sighed. "At the end of the day, we'll see who has the better tree."

Voice marched through the evergreen forest with purpose and zeroed in on the biggest tree he saw.

"Sorry, sis, but I'm right, and I'll prove it," Voice chuckled. He swung his ax at the base of the tree, but nothing seemed to happen.

"Too big, I guess," Voice shrugged and scoped out the second-largest tree. He couldn't make a dent in that one either. This was going to take awhile…


"Hey, Voice, how'd you make out?" Noise had bought a decent tree from the humans. Not a spectacular tree, mind you, but not one that would bring shame to the owner.

"Great," Voice beamed as he placed a little evergreen tree branch at her feet. "My tree… Well… It has character! If we decorate it and sing pretty Christmas songs around it, it'll turn into the most beautiful tree ever!"

"Riiight…" Noise sighed. "Come on, let's get this tree back to Gehenna; leave the twig."

"I hear you," Voice nodded.
