"Darren?" Mika rumbled ominously. "Why is my name at the top of the list?"

"You're the main character!" Darren replied in a happy-nervous-please-don't-eat-me voice.

"And...why might that be?"

Darren gulped. He could tell Mika was holding back some deadly anger.

"Don't you want to be the main character?" he squeaked.

"I'm not doing it." said the dark Prince simply. "I have no reason to make a human of myself."

"I agree!" Seba spat. (Probably the first time he had ever used the word "agree" without "not" in front of it.) "This abomination was designed to desecrate our dignity!"

"I think it...sounds fun!"

"Well you don't have the same dignity as us, do you Harkat?"

"K, so, like, when do we get our costumes?"

"K, so, like, don't talk so, like, weird. You'll get them sometime next week."

"Who the hell is Fred?"

"Scrooge's nephew."

"I refuse to support the abomination!"

"I refuse to support your mom!" (Darren took no joy in using the cliched comeback, but he was too stressed to come up with something more original.)

"If I am to be a Ghost of Christmas in the Future, do I not get to participate in this endeavor?"

"Sure you will. Don't worry, the Ghost of Christmas Future is really important in the story."

"I was not worrying, I was suggesting."

"I get to be a Ghost of Christmas Presents? What kind of presents?"

"Present. Not presents. Pre-sent."

"So I only get like, one present?"

"No, present as in right now."

"I get presents right now?"

Darren gave up on explaining to Kurda, and proceeded to pass out scripts.

For a moment, there was silence as the Vampires skimmed over their scripts (they could all read after their experiences on the internet.).

"Bah Humbug? What the hell?" Mika snarled.

"You say it when you're pissed off." Darren explained.

"Bah Humbug Bah Humbug Bah Humbug Bah Humbug!"

"You already have some of your lines memorised!" Darren enthused.

Mika growled. Darren backed off.

"My part looks...easy!" Harkat sounded relieved.

"The Ghost of Christmas Past sounds like an abomination to me." Seba glared.

"No, he has a lot of respect for older and long forgotten traditions!" Darren blurted out. "Just like you!"

"Hmmm..." Seba's eyes returned to his scirpt.

"My part is small!" Paris said happily. "I only have one scene!"

"That's what I thought, so you're in charge of music as well!" Darren announced.

Paris made a noice similar to Mika's growl.

"I wanna be in charge of music!" Kurda wailed. ""I know, like, so many cool Christmas songs!"

"I thought you could help me with the dance choreography!" Darren said brightly.

Kurda squealed in delight and burst into a spontaneous dace number, destroying one of Paris's ornamental vases.

"So now that we all know what we have to do, tomorrow we're going to start reading through our lines, and if that goes well, we'll take a break and put up some decorations!" Darren announced.

There was a long scilence. Then,

"Yay!"

That was Harkat, obviously.
