Psst….is this thing on? Hello? Hi everyone. It's me, Animanizanny. Well…I'm sure you knew that when you clicked on the story in the first place (Insert breaking of fourth wall here). I have a ton of things to say but FIRST let's round up our cast hmm…?

(Back at the village…)

Santa: It's been more than three months since Animanizanny had us locked up and tortured in nefarious ways! I'm pretty excited.

Bernard: I'm beginning to think this whole thing is finally over.

You guys always know how to jinx yourselves don't you?

Curtis: Oh no run!

No way. You're all coming back to the set because I have something "special" to give you. (grabs complete cast and runs back to set)

Thanks for coming everyone!Neil: Did we have a choice?

No. No you didn't. However, people have questions and dares and when questions and dares are asked…They will NOT go unanswered! *stands proudly*

Bernard: *mumbling* Like they did for over three months…?

Shut up I heard that! Anyways, I'm sure you're all ticked off with me so I'm ready to get to the questions and dares. But FIRST I'd like to welcome a special guest for this chapter brought from a fan herself. Please welcome The Quirkyquizler femme18' s character: Amber! She is the Fall Sprite and Halloween Representative thanks to a previous episode where Mother Nature kindly elected her!

Amber: Hi! Great to finally meet all of you!Mother Nature: Wonderful! I was wondering when we would get to see our Halloween rep!

Anyways, as a treat to all of you, if you have an OC that you would like to have co- host in an episode, stick their description right in your review or even just PM me. Make sure to include their personality features and BE CREATIVE. I'll be happy to make sure your character gets a chance to ask some wonderful questions to our cast!

Amber: This is so exciting. Do I get to ask questions?

You and the two other co-hosts can ask all the questions for this episode. I need a break from all this talking! *Flops down exhaustedly*

Curtis: *cough* Lazy…

For that you can go sit in the corner. *Puts Curtis in corner* So… Scott and Neil have both been requested to host so I guess my job for the day is done!

Scott: Sounds fine.

Neil: I'm hosting! *jumps up and down with glee*

Amber: I'm so excited! Okay so this first one comes from the fantastic Jokermask18 who asks us: Here's another question for Bernard:I am curious about a plothole surrounding the Mrs. Clause: If it has to be done,where was the Mrs Claus before Carol when Scott arrived?Also I dare Carol and Mother Nature to have a rap battle and Santa to sing "old toy trains"

Amber: That's a really good question!

Neil: I'm surprised I never wondered that myself.

Scott: Okay so this is how the Mrs. Clause works. The Santa before me did have a wife. Her name was I believe Clarissa Clause. However, when a Santa is um… "relieved" of their position, the Mrs. is sent back home where her memory is wiped clean and she is given necessary help to continue on with her life. There are times where the Mrs. will just retire and live in the Elfsburg village but it's much safer if she is brought back and her mind forgets everything. It removes the pain anyways.

Bernard: It's not that we want to do it. In fact it hurts us all to see her go…it's just that we can't risk being discovered. It's a hard time for anyone when they lose a loved one.

Amber: That's so sad… Okay so Carol and Mother Nature need to perform a…rap battle? This shou;d be interesting…

Carol: Must I really?

Scott: 'fraid so sweetie. Just do it so we can get this over with and enjoy the rest of the day.

Mother Nature: Oh I've never done this kind of thing before…doesn't rap involve a lot of spitting and cuss words?

Charlie: It's just rhyming using clever words that insult the person you are rapping against. You don't need to spit *snickers*

MN: Well…okay. *clears throat* Carol my dear why do you cheer? Your man's holiday is once a year! MY time reigns on all the seasons, from spring through winter there's kids I'm pleasing. From flower pickin' to snow ball fightin', when it comes to the power, I'm a titan. I get it where you're comin' from, that's okay. But baby the seasons are here to stay.

Carol: So you say you're the best, that you're top dog but seeing you is just looking at a hog. You demand the best you sparkle and shine but during Christmas time you're far behind. No kid cheers when Mother Nature calls, it's Christmas that provokes those trips to the mall. The glitter the shine of Christmas it's true. No kid gets a good present from you.

Amber: YAY! Animanizanny says you can pick your winner and send it in your reviews!

Neil: And now Scott has the joy of singing "Old Toy Trains"

Jack: Everyone plug their ears. This might be painful.

Amber: Watch it Jack or you'll be sorry.

Jack: I already am just having met you.

Amber: Here's the thing, no one asked for your opinion nor do they want it in the first place. So why don't you just go melt in the furnace and leave everyone alone.

Jack: *Grumbles*

Bernard: *Chuckling* I like you! *Grins at Amber*

Scott: May I sing now? Thank you! *Clears throat* (I do not own this song for the record.) Old toy trains , little toy tracks. Little toy drums coming from a sack. Carried by a man dressed in white and red. Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed? Close your eyes listen to the skies. All is calm, all is well. Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jungle bells, bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks. Little toy drums coming from a sack. Carried by a man dressed in white and red. Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed? Close your eyes, listen to the skies. All is calm, all is well. Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks. Little toy drums coming from a sack. Carried by a man dressed in white and red. Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?

Amber: *clapping* That was lovely!

Carol: Beautiful honey.

Santa: Thanks. Okay our next reviewer is the always lovely Aquette Calvin who asks us: aww, i was hoping to get a better reaction out of jack. oh well. sorry bernard, curtis is head elf, although not many people other than like... judy and abby, like him... :) and yes santa is a girl and it works nicely, kind of. dont worry i plan to fire curtis in the future, you might get ur job back...ok! i think neil and scott should both host at some point, maybe questions!how many elves are there and what are their range of ages?why are elf ears pointy? (i dont think thats been asked right?)how many elves were there when it started?why isnt there a legendary figure for halloween? or st patricks day?also i dare curtis to be an obedient servant to bernard for the next three shows and cannot sass or backtalk him unless another dare says he can. (that was to make you feel better bernard ;) )

Bernard: That is a very different view on things. I have never in all my years as head elf seen a woman Santa. Not of course that a woman couldn't do the job. It's just very unique. And THANK YOU! Please fire Curtis soon!

Neil and Scott: Thanks for voting! It's nice to be appreciated.

Bernard: How many elves? Hm…let me just consult the big book of records…*Reads* when the elf colony was first established, there were 17 names accounted for. However, there may have been others. Just think how we could jump so drastically from 17 to well, MILLIONS!

Curtis: Nerd. As for the elf having pointy ears thing…I really don't know. Why do we?

Bernard: *Shrugs* dominant gene? Why do some dogs have pointy ears and some have floppy ears? It's just the way we were born I guess. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

Amber: I can answer the Halloween question because I'm the answer ha ha. I guess the reason that the Legendary Council didn't have a Halloween figure for so long was because no one wanted the job. Or they didn't want to deal with Mr. Frost bite.

Jack: Shut up girly I'll freeze you and ship you to the Arctic!

MN: THAT'S ENOUGH! Jack you will NOT threaten a member of the council! That is of the highest level of crime.

Jack: She started it!

MN: Well I'm ENDING it! And the reason we don't have a member for St. Patrick's day is because leprechauns are immensely hard to find and they prefer to work their holidays alone. I therefore respect their decisions to be independent.

Neil: and Curtis is now Bernard's servant for this episode and the next two after that!Bernard: YES!

Curtis: Wha...? NO!Bernard: Oh servant, I'd like it if um…geez I can't think of anything I want him to do!

Scott: *Whispers*

Bernard: *Grinning* Curtis I want you to clean all of the reindeer stables.

Curtis: *whimpers then leaves with bucket and broom*

(Cue cheering from all the stable workers): We're free! YAYY!

Amber: And our next reviewer is the great Sherlock'n'Hunt who asks us:

Hahaha, Jack, I feel the need to be evil again. No talking in this episode or the next one. Curtis, you look lovely in a dress...*snickers*...and I really don't know...*snickers*...why anyone is making fun of you...*gives up trying to hold back laughter and rotfl* ANYWAY...Judy, I definately understand about the cocoa thing, but some tips would be great. Neil, you look much better without those hideous sweaters. Astalavista for now! D

Curtis: *cleaning stables* Oh yeah real nice! Kick an elf while he's down.

Bernard: No talking. You'll wake up the reindeer.

Curtis: *bits tongue to refrain from snappy comment*

Judy: I'm glad you understand. And some great tips would be to make sure you stir up the chocolate so it doesn't all sink to the bottom. And if you choose to put whipped cream like I always do, a sprig of peppermint is an EXCELLENT touch that will give it a professional look and a nice flavor that your friends and family will love.

Neil: Wow Judy you should be on a cooking show. And I do NOT appreciate the comment on my "hideous sweaters"! I looked cool like that and you know it!

Lora: Sweetie, no you didn't.

Neil: Even my own WIFE is against me! Curse you fashion world!

Scott: The next dare is from SuperAwesome4444 who asks us:

Hola everyone! As you can probably tell, I'm new here, but I'll start right off by causing some chaos. XD Personally, Neil, I love your sweaters! And you get 5 more courtesy of me. Jack, what makes you such a jerk? Curtis, love the dress. Jack, freeze it. Ane Bernard, as everyone is yet to find out, I have quite a fetish for whumping my fav characters, and I was somewhat disappointed by your answer to Sherlock'n'Hunt's question. So, for a little whump, I dare you to do something crazy until you break your leg. Sorrehh. Oh, and one more thing, Scott, you make a great santa! XDNeil: THANK YOU! At least SOMEONE has a respect for good fashion!

Curtis: Thank you! Wait what?

Jack: *freezes dress*

Curtis: SO c-cold!

Bernard: Why would you do that? Aw…excuse me while I go…scare the reindeer.

(One reindeer stampede later)

Bernard: *Hobbles in with leg cast* Happy now?

Scott: Thanks so much! I like to think of myself as a good Santa and I appreciate it when people say things like that.

Amber: And now on to our last reviewer for the day and my reason for being here, The Quirkyquizler femme18! My creator asks us: -waves while holding a bottle of cider with a wide grin-hi guys! me, Quizler again!...before i do my dares, questions, etc, i wanna make a quick shout out ta Icewine Rose fer her comment ta Jack in chappie 15! XD thanks hun fer tha notable mention of me, 'tha girl who lives in texas' ! glad ta know our wonderful and caring host Animanizanny isnt tha only one who agrees with me! -grins deviously as i chuckle-hehe..which reminds me..got some new..choice phrases..fer Snowflake! as well as a dare that's more of a suggestion for our wonderful authoress Animanizanny! the dare: you must choose anyone of your choosing and put their name in the blanks provided then read this little 'joke riddle' out loud fer everyone ta hear! and no telling the joke behind it if ya already know it! XD -hands her piece of paper with the following as i snicker,holding out a pen-If you want some laughs for kicks:I have always found _Working studiously and sincerely at his/her desk withoutIdling or gossiping with colleagues. He/She seldomwastes his/her time on useless things and alwaysfinishes assignments on time. He/She is diligent athis/her official work, and can never be foundchitchatting in the kitchen. He/She has absolutely novanity in spite of his/her high accomplishment andknowledge of his/her field. I think he/she can easily beclassed as outstanding, and should on no account bedispensed with. I strongly feel that _ should bepromoted, and a proposal to administration besent away as soon as possible.-snickers with a grin-2ndly...can i ask the favor of my SC oc Amber, tha Fall Sprite and Legendary Representative for Halloween appointed by Mother Nature herself, to make a guest appearance to interview tha cast before the next Legendary Figures Council as a way to 'get to know everyone'? (when in reality, just to annoy a certain other sprite and have some fun time with everyone else )3rd is for my weak threats and petty insults adversary in tha battle of Wits, tha 'Ice-Queen' himself..-grins evilly while chuckling darkly,rubbing a hand over my cider bottle and dramatically pulls loose tha sharp pencil from behind my ear in my hair out and points to him with it-From Hence Forth Till someone insults ya in a review, I *triple dog dare* ya ta behave and act kind and caring as ya did fer tha short time Lucy had ya defrosted in tha 3rd movie ta *everyone*! *even if they insult ya ta yer face*, ya must smile politely and thank them for tha compliment!-grins more calmly slash sanely-and my 2nd and final dare is ta Curtis...as i recall abck in chappie 16 at tha end, ya said an' i quote.. -clears throat- "Curtis: Hey, I kind of like wearing a dress!"...and so..my dare to u.. -grins with a chuckle- dress in drag! but not any drag..but as...-drumroll suddenly while grinning- Dorthy Gale from Wizard of OZ Drag!.. dont worry,u dont have 2 have a basket with a black Brindle Cairn Terrier plushie if ya dont want ta..jsut need a wig that looks like Dorthy's hair style, tha light blue and white gingham dress and ruby 'slippers' as 1/2 inch low heels! oh and no make up for yer masculine pride's sake and ya can keep yer glasses -grins and takes swig of my cider bottle and waves over shoulder, intimidating Jack Sparrow's drunk swagger walk as i leave- Ta fer now ladies an' gents! Tootles!

I'm baaaack! And I choose Curtis for the letter!

Curtis: Reads letter. Wow thank you! That's so sweet!

*Snickers* Sure. Rewrites letter. Here's how it goes. I have always found Curtis idling or gossiping with colleagues. He seldom finishes assignments on time. He is diligent at chitchatting in the kitchen. He has absolutely no knowledge of his field. I think he can easily be dispensed with. I strongly feel Curtis should be sent away as soon as possible.

Curtis: Wait…what? AWW!

Jack: You dirty rotten-

Amber: Nah uh frosty. NICE!Jack: T-thank you so FREAKIN' much! *twitch*

Bernard: *smirked* Is there a problem popsicle head?

Jack: N-not at all f-f-friend! *twitch*

Curtis: *Sighs* Well since I just cleaned a reindeer stable, why not? *dresses as Dorothy* Frankly I've had worse.

Bernard: That's nice. Why don't you go take a walk around the village for me.

Curtis: What? WHY?

Bernard: Because I said so and because you're my servant for the next to episodes. GO!

Curtis: *Storms off*

I'm BACK! And now that my school's getting out soon, I'll be able to get this story back up and running, hopefully with updates at least once a week! Before we go, everyone say a great big goodbye to our wonderful guest, Amber!

Everyone: BYE AMBER!Great to have you! And as a treat, does Jack have something NICE to say?

Jack: It's been a…pleasure to have you here.

Amber: That's what I thought. Bye everyone!

Remember that if you have an OC that you would like to be a co-host in a chapter, don't be shy! The first one I get will be the co-host in the next chapter. Just be sure to give me some info on them so I can do my best! Thanks for reading and reviewing as always. You're all such great folks! Toodles!
