Chapter III - Tis The Season
Rimmer was walking though the ships hall ways and entered the bridge only to find Lister at the helm.
"What you think your doing Lister, that seat is for the Captain, and as a Second technician, your report to me. The co-pilot seat is right next to it."
"Sorry, Mr Grinch." mocked Lister, as he moved over.
Rimmer looked over at console screen.
"Lister what's this, have you been going though the manifest. What do you expect to find in there. We've cleared out almost every bunk on the ship, we have a pretty good idea what it contains and of it that was good is know ours anyway."
"I was seeing if we had any decorations."
"Decorations, why?"
"Me the Cat and Kryten, have decided to throw a party."
"It's not a Christmas party is it, as you know how much I hate…"
"Calm down Scrooge, we're calling it Smeg-mas."
"What."
"It's all about getting drunk and having fun, and your invited."
"Lister I don't want any part of this, and if your going to start decorating the bunk, I'm going to taking a holiday of my own to spare bunk else where." and he huffed of.
"Ahh, come on Rimmer, it all can't be that bad." Lister called out.
Lister was sat in bunk room cutting up folded paper, as Rimmer was gathering his things. Lister unfolded the paper to show of his chain of snowflakes, he looked back at Rimmer, who shook his head and carried his box out of the room.
The Cat was stood on a stool hanging up decorations in one of the halls, a box of tinsel was beside him. Rimmer came though and took one look around and scoffed, before scooting past and having some dropped on his head.
Rimmer was passing though the ships, to find a decorated section. In fit on anger he promptly tore it down and straightened him self up before leaving. Kryten was passing by and found the ruined decorations and shook his head before fixing them.
As he was walking though the ship Rimmer soon felt a shiver in the air and hurried along and come in to the Science lap to see Lister, Cat and Kryten in dressed in big thick winter coats hovering around a single console.
"What is going on, the ship's almost freezing." said Rimmer.
"We've turned down the heating." said Lister.
"Yeah." added the Cat taking of his ear muffs "It's so we can ware this years winter fashion."
"But mainly to add a sense of realism to the holiday." added Kryten.
"Well can you stop that, other wise the whole ship might freeze." insisted Rimmer.
The others looked at each other and Lister hit a switch to play music, and Disco light's filled the room. The three began to dance but Rimmer just turned around and left the room.
