A/N: So you know the Tim Allen movie The Santa Clause? Yeah, I've gone my whole life thinking Claus was actually spelled like that.

Izzy and Mimi requested by Zero Unit RGB :)


009

She promised he'd only have to work the cash register. Instead, Izzy was positioned at the forefront of a legion of kids eagerly jumping and pointing and crying over dear old Santa Claus. The only thing standing in their way was a flimsy black rope and Izzy who was clothed in pointy, black shoes, red and green tights, and a green, frayed shirt that he couldn't quite seem to pull down far enough.

He located Mimi not too far away fiddling with the camera behind the counter. She was definitely an interesting casting choice for Mrs. Claus. She wore a red dress and a flowered apron along with a white bonnet and thin glasses, but under it all it wasn't hard to tell she was a teenage girl, not the centuries old Mrs..

He shuffled over to Mimi, tugging his shirt down the whole time. "Mimi," he said causing her to stop fussing with the camera. "This isn't right."

She lifted her glasses and gasped dramatically. "No, it's not!" she said. Mimi reached under the counter and pulled out a green and red striped elf hat with a single bell on the end. She placed it on Izzy's head causing the bell to sound a merry jingle-jingle. "There! All better!"

Izzy shifted his gaze from the bell dangling between his eyes back to his friend. "Mimi, can you see with those glasses on?"

"Of course!" she insisted to the camera then padded it on the 'shoulder'.

"That's not me."

"…"

"…"

"…Moving on."

Izzy rolled his eyes and suppressed a chuckle. "You said I just had to work the cash register."

"You do!" She said.

"In an elf costume!"

"Was that not implied? I mean, logically you should've assumed-"

"No, not logically! I know logically and this"—he pulled at his thin tights—"is not logical!" He finished with a firm stomp of his elfin feet and another jingle-jingle from his hat.

Mimi smiled despite herself. "But, Izzy, you make such a good elf!"

"You're not saying that because I'm…"

Yet again she gasped. "No, I would never!"

"Then why?"

"You're just so good with kids!"

Izzy raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, yeah, it is because you're short."

"I knew it!"

With a sigh he confined himself to the checkout counter and began brainstorming ways to trick Tai into taking this job from him for the rest of the season.


Thanks for the reviews, everyone! I'll have to look back through them because I'm sure I've missed a request or two. Happy holidays :)
