Well, it seemed that Newt had finally decided to give up after a hassle like that, huh? We'll get to see what Minerva will-

"Not so fast!"

What the...? Is that you, Newt?

"Yeah, it's me. I've got something to say to you... Throughout this entire story, you've have me badly hurt in almost every chapter I was in! When am I finally going to get a well-deserved break from all that pain here?!"

Don't you worry about a thing, Newt; you won't get to appear in this chapter, so rest assured...

"I see... Well, then I guess I'd better go on home and take a hot bath to heal my aching body..."

As I was saying, we'll get to see what Minerva will be doing in this chapter... Story and plot created by me; Minerva Mink and other Animaniacs characters created by Warner Bros.

A Minerva Mink Christmas

Chapter 8 - Christmas At Minerva's

It was around five 'o clock when Minerva left the Mega Mall. She walked past the parking lot and signaled another taxicab that would take her back home.

"Oh, taxi!"

A taxicab slowed down and stopped in front of her. She opened the door and stepped inside.

"To the forest outside of town, please."

The driver didn't say anything, but he did respond by nodding before he drove off. Minerva was actually surprised that the driver in this taxicab didn't even react in any way at the sight of her when she got in (What she doesn't realize is that this driver was none other than Mr. Skullhead, who was working part-time by driving a taxicab during the holiday season). She decided to communicate with him just to be sure that there was nothing wrong with him.

"So what are you doing tomorrow? I'm having some friends of mine over to my place on Christmas, so I went to the Mega Mall to do a bit of last-minute Christmas shopping after I had almost forgot. Pretty hectic, wouldn't you say?"

The driver just responded by shrugging his shoulders.

"You know, you're actually one of a few guys I'll seen today that didn't even notice my hot figure like everyone else did, not that that's a bad thing; I mean, I'm actually used to getting all kinds of attention from people I don't really know at every place I go to. I guess you can say that my beauty is just something that makes the world go around..."

A few minutes later, the taxicab had arrived at Minerva's destination. Minerva then got out after stopping.

"I suppose my ride is about 20 bucks?"

The driver responded by nodding.

"Okay, then... Here you go."

She gave the driver twenty dollars before she shut the door. As soon as the taxicab drove off back to town, Minerva walked back to her home in the middle of the forest. When she made it inside, she wasted no time getting everything ready by tomorrow; she wrapped up all the gifts she got for her friends and put them under her tree, she made a couple of desserts in the kitchen, and she cleaned up the inside of her home to make it look nicer. After she had done all those things, she looked at the clock on the wall to see what time it is: it was almost nine o' clock. She then exclaimed to herself...

"My stars, it's gotten late! I'd better get myself ready for bed if I'm going to get my beauty sleep!"

So she took a quick shower, dried herself off, put on something to sleep in, and went to bed. She had a busy day today, and she was ready for it to end.

-----

The very next day, it was Christmas; Minerva woke up, got herself cleaned up, put on a similar outfit like the one she wore yesterday, and made sure that everything was ready for today.

"My friends will arrive here any minute soon, and I hope I didn't forget anything..."

Just then, she heard a knock at the door. She went to answer it, and saw who it was: it was Dot Warner, the Warner Sister.

"Hi, Minerva!"

"Oh, hi, Dot! I'm quite glad that you showed up. Did your brothers come as well?"

Before Dot could say anything, Yakko and Wakko (The Warner Bros.) popped in and said to Minerva...

"Hellooooo, mink!"

They stood right in front of her with their tongues hanging out of their mouths, panting happily at the sight of her. Dot stood there all embarrassed like she does every time her brothers act that way.

"Boys... Go fig'."

She then dragged her brothers by their tails to the living room of Minerva's home; she then smacked some sense into them by pulling out a candy cane and knocking them silly with it. A couple of minutes later, Minerva heard a low knocking at the door. She opened the door, and saw that it was Pinky and The Brain.

"Hi ya, Minerva! Narf!"

"Hi, Pinky. It's nice of you and Brain to arrive as well."

"I don't see why we had to come over here when we should have been planning to take over the world while everybody's celebrating the holidays..."

"Come on, Brain! Where's your holiday spirit?"

"Let's just say I'm not the kind of mouse who enjoys the holiday season that much... I only came because we were invited to do so."

Pinky and Brain then walked into the living room. A few minutes later, there was knocking at the door again. Minerva opened the door and saw who it was this time: Slappy Squirrel and her nephew, Skippy.

"Hey there, Slappy. Merry Christmas."

"Eh, what's there to be merry about today? It's so cold outside that I almost became stiff on the way over here!"

"So... How are you doing, Skippy?"

"Really fine, Miss Mink! Don't really mind my Aunt Slappy; she tends to forget her holiday spirit every now and then..."

Slappy and Skippy then went into the living room where the others were. A few more minutes later, there was another knocking at the door. Minerva opened the door and saw Wilford B. Wolf.

"Uhh, Hi ya, Minerva..."

"Oh, hi, Wilford. Thanks for coming as well."

Even though Minerva wasn't particularly interested in Wilford that much back then, she started to like him more after learning that he transforms in a handsome-looking hunk during the full moon; Minerva had become friends with him ever since.

"Uhh, how are you today?"

"Oh, I'm just doing fine, as usual."

Wilford then took a seat in the living room with all the others. Minerva decided to join them as well. Before doing so, she began to think to herself...

"It appears that everyone has arrived except Newt... I know that he's tried to go after me countless times ever since we first met, but I couldn't help but like him for trying. I just hope he gets here as well..."
