Chapter 30: Christmas Mon (2):
This chapter takes place during the Oikawa Arc
It's Christmas Eve and Patamon was checking the letters.
"Well, that's everyone... Wait! Veemon still hasn't written his letter yet!"
...
Veemon was sleeping, but then Patamon wakes him up.
"Veemon!"
"I'VE NEVER BEEN TO RAINBOW HILLS," shouts Veemon.
"Veemon, you still haven't written your letter!"
"Uh... Patamon, there's something you should know..."
"Don't worry, I'll help you write." Patamon gets a paper on a rock and begins writing. "Dear Santa..."
"Patamon, I don't..."
"You're right, too formal. Hi Santa..."
"Patamon..."
"Howdy Claus?"
"Patamon, I don't think Santa exists!"
"What?"
"I overheard some kids, who, come to think of it, look like something from a Christmas special. Anyway, they were talking about how there's no such thing as Santa Claus."
"Who cares about what some random kids say? Just write a letter. What do you have to lose?"
"Self-Respect. My sanity. My dignity.
"Veemon, come on!" All the Digimon try to get Veemon to come outside.
"Santa Claus doesn't exist!"
...
"Well, I can at least get a good night sleep."
But as Veemon tries to sleep, the Digimon all sing.
All (Except Veemon): Oh, Santa's coming tonight tonight!
Santa's coming tonight tonight!
Santa's coming tonight tonight!
Santa's coming tonight tonight!
"C'mon everymon," says Patamon, "let's all sing until Santa gets here!"
...
The Digimon sing until morning. They're all tired now and Santa hasn't shown up.
"Where's Santa," asks Sukamon.
"Um, he should be here any minute," says Patamon, "let's keep singing..."
The Digimon complain and then leave.
"Thanks for the lies, Mr. Fairy Tale," a Gotsumon says.
"Let's go waste our time somewhere else," says a Mushroommon.
"Guys, where's your Christmas Spirit," says Patamon.
"He's probably running late," says Gatomon.
"Yeah, his reindeer probably needed the bathroom," says Armadillomon.
The main Digimon continue to wait, but nothing.
"Never trust a genie," says Armadillomon.
Everyone but Patamon then leaves.
Patamon was upset. Then Veemon wakes up and walks over to Patamon.
"I tried to tell you," says Veemon, "you can't rely on hope all the time. I know that's hard for you because Hope is your source of digivolution, but..."
"You were right," says Patamon, sad, "Santa doesn't exist. I still want you to have this."
"Huhh, what's this?"
"A present. I didn't want you to feel left out when SANTA CAME!"
"Gee, I..."
"You're welcome." Patamon then walks away.
"Patamon made me a present? I wonder what it is." Veemon opens it and sees what it is. "It's a picture of when I took on Monochromon in Season 2 episode 1. I feel like a big jerk! What have I done? Hey Patamon..."
There is a storm cloud above Patamon.
"He just wanted to spread Christmas Joy to the Digital World!"
"I don't know what I was thinking," says a still sad Patamon.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!"
"Huhh? Who's there? Hello?"
"Up here!"
Patamon looks and sees what he thinks is Santa, but it's actually Veemon dressed as Santa.
"S... S... S...?"
"Yes, it is I, Santa..." Veemon slips off the snowy rock he was standing on.
"Wow, Santa! Why didn't I leave you milk and cookies... wait, where's your reindeer?"
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... I left them with the Tooth Fairy."
"And what happened to your big round belly? Come to think of it, you're about my size."
"The Digital World messed with my magic."
"Good enough for me." Patamon hugs him. "Santa, thank you for bringing Christmas to the Digital World!"
"I didn't bring Christmas to the Digital World, you did."
Patamon then faints.
"Well, glad that's over..."
Veemon stops and sees a Yokomon.
"Do you have a present for me, Santa?"
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... well, you see..."
"Sure, Santa can," says Patamon, "he can make any wish come true. He made mine come true."
"Wait, right here!"
Veemon goes behind a rock.
"What do Yokomons like? Deodorant that I never use? Skateboards? Davis' sister's diary?"
Veemon returns.
"Here, a wrench."
Yokomon likes the wrench and treats it like a pet and walks away.
Veemon turns around and sees a whole bunch of Digimon.
"Hey Santa, where's my present?"
"And mine?"
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... all of you wait right here."
Veemon goes behind the rock and comes back with a whole bunch of stuff.
Veemon gives a Babamon a bowl of mashed potatoes.
"Thanks," she puts it on, "a new hair style."
Veemon gives a Tanemon two forks. The Tanemon then puts the forks in the place of her front teeth.
Veemon gives Armadillomon a clock.
"Thanks," Armadillomon punches through the clock, "Ah could use a wristwatch."
...
Veemon has given so many things to the Digimon.
"Thanks for the couch, Santa," says Sukamon.
"What was I thinking? What's gonna happen when Davis' folks realize all their stuff is gone? Am I insane?"
"Hey Veemon! You just missed him! He was here, just like I said! He gave us all presents! He was jolly..."
Veemon then has Patamon walk away.
Gatomon shows up.
"If you're looking for Santa, too late, he left."
"Actually, I'm here to give something," says Gatomon.
"What?"
Gatomon then kisses Veemon on the cheek. "That was really sweet of you." Gatomon then walks away.
Veemon is surprised, but then snaps out of it. "I don't know what you're... wait, what's this?" Veemon finds a letter. "Hey, you dropped... hold on."
Veemon reads the letter.
"Deer, Veemon, thanks for the help. You've been a real good boy this year. Warm regards, Santa."
Veemon looks to the sky and sees Santa, who waves, does his famous laugh and then goes overboard and almost falls, but stops.
"Yep," says Veemon, "I'm insane." Veemon then goes back to his nap.
