Chapter 5
Matt's first LA Christmas
It was the last day of the semester.
That day, there was a Christmas show that was performed in the theater and they just randomly threw in some "True Meaning of Christmas is Jesus" BS.
Anne, Sasha, Marcy, and Matt all make their way out of the school the moment the final bell rang as they are now on Christmas Break.
The kids had a talk.
"I believed in the whole 'Christmas is about Jesus' thing for a while now," said Matt. "But seeing that whole thing get thrown into that show was really cheesy, not to mention I've been questioning my faith since you told me about Tristan, before that even. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I've decided I don't believe in Jesus anymore, but I'll wait later to tell my parents."
"Good choice, bro," said Sasha. "The not believing in Jesus thing, not the telling your parents thing. Don't ever tell them. They may look nice but I still don't trust them."
"Changing topics," said Marcy, worried this would eventually become a "Christians are bad" discussion. "What are your plans for our break?"
"We definitely gotta spend the Big Day at my place," Sasha replied. "I've got a big music video planned for that day. It's gonna be a particular Frozen II song."
Everyone else smiled, knowing exactly what Sasha was referring to.
"I'm gonna rewatch your other Christmas videos," said Matt. "I especially like your 'Let it Go' cover. It's what introduced me to your channel. I'll also rewatch some of my favorite Christmas Movies like Polar Express and Christmas Chronicles."
"I'm gonna see the yearly parade," said Anne.
"I have nothing planned yet," said Marcy.
Matt would spend the next 4 days doing things like editing his and Marcy's big crossover that they've been working on, playing Breath of the Wild's Master Mode, and rewatching Sasha and the Sharps' Christmas Videos.
That Christmas Morning, Matt and his family spent the morning opening presents, and Matt got some bath bombs, fingernail clippers, a ton of lego sets, and Super Smash Bros. and Link's Awakening for the Nintendo Switch.
The family had dinner pretty early in the evening, and when Matt was done, Matt asked if he could hang out with his friends, and after a lot of convincing, they let him go, under the strict condition he actually returns home by 8:30.
Matt leaves his house with his Switch games and makes it to Sasha's house and finds the girls in the basement ready to record. Once Matt entered the room, Sasha started filming.
(Into the Unknown - Frozen II)
Marcy:
Ah-ah, oh-oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh
All:
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Marcy:
Ah-ah, oh-oh
Matt:
I can hear you, but I won't
Some look for trouble
While others don't
Marcy:
There's a thousand reasons
I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers
Which I wish would go away, oh, oh-oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh
Oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh
You're not a voice
You're just ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't
I'm spoken for, I fear
Matt:
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
Anne:
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Anne, Marcy, and Matt:
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Marcy:
Ah-ah, oh-oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh
Sasha:
What do you want?
'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me
So I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there
Who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down
I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder
As I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me
That longs to go
All:
Into the unknown?
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Marcy:
ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
All:
Oh, oh, oh
Are you out there? Do you know me?
Can you feel me? Can you show me?
Sasha:
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Marcy:
ah-ah, ah-ah
Sasha:
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Marcy:
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Sasha and Marcy:
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Sasha:
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
All:
Into the unknown?
Once they were done editing the video and posting it onto Youtube, the kids would spend a while just talking and playing some Smash Bros. Matt even said Sasha could keep Smash as her present from him, and Matt even gave Marcy Link's Awakening.
After a long time just hanging out, it came close to 8:30, so everyone headed home. Sasha decided to let them go this time because she does not want to get grounded on a holiday.
