CHAPTER 2

A/N

Me: I know, the last one's format was a little bad. I used Wordpad, and apparently, it's not such a good thing to do that. Now, I'm using Word, so that it'll be a little clearer to read.

Mao: Pfft, ya think? I could barely read it myself.

Me: Excuse me, I don't have word on my computer. I have to do this at school.

Almaz: You can't really blame him, Mao…

Me: Thank you, Almaz.

Almaz: I mean, it's not his fault his computer sucks, but-

Me: *Hits Almaz with a book* Its my family's computer, thank you very much!

Anyway, just a little shoutout. Enjoy!

After that moment, for the rest of the day, everyone was putting up decorations for Christmas. Even Mao was helping out, sort of…

"Get back to work, I need this place ready for tomorrow!" Mao yelled as he saw a Fighter stop walking for a while.

By the end of the day, the entire Evil Academy was riddled with decorations. There was tinsel riddled along the hallways of the school, decorations in the stores, nearly everyone wearing a Christmas sweater, and mistletoe in all of the wrong places.

"Wonderful, wonderful" Mao said to himself as he watched over his Netherworld

Later, Mao tried to experiment on Christmas itself. He "dissected" ornaments (even though they broke when he tried).

" Lord Mao, are you in here?" a voice came in. Mao sighed. "Yes, Almaz? What do you need, I'm busy here".

Almaz walked in with a plate of Gingerbread Men. " The Princess made these, would you like one?" Almaz asked.

Mao turned around and looked at the plate. "What are these? They look like people"

He said as he picked one up.

"They're Gingerbread Men, we usually have them on Christmas." Almaz said as he looked at the treats.

Mao examined it. "well, what do you do with them? Hang them like the other ornaments?"

"Uh, no, you eat them. They're actually really good treats." Almaz said to Mao as he kept examining the cookie.

"Eat 'em, eh?" Mao said, suspiciously. " Wouldn't that be like cannibalism? They do look like people…."

Almaz sweatdropped. "No, it's fine…."

"Alright then" Mao said as he took the first bite. His face changed from suspicious, to very surprised. "Wow!" Mao said as he took another bite. "This is better than that Dragon Egg I had!" He said with a mouthful.

"Hehe, Glad you like it." Almaz said as he placed the plate down. "By the way, do you know what time it is?"

"Oh, about 10 pm, why?" Mao said as he picked up another gingerbread man.

"OH CRAP!" Almaz said with a horrified face. "I still haven't gotten gifts for everyone!"

"Calm down Almaz, you still have time" Mao said with a mouthful.

"Almaz had a sign of relief. "It's a good thing I have all this HL with me, I'll be able to afford everything I need!" Almaz darted for the door. "I'll be right back!"

"Sheesh, all this trouble for other people. Typical Hero-type delinquent". Mao thought to himself.

Mao smiled deviously as he saw the plate of gingerbread men that Almaz left on the table.
