EARTH-1
Flash-y the red-nosed speedster
Had a very shiny suit
And if you ever saw him
You might even want to puke *gags*
"Merry Christmas, kiddie-winks. Im back", says the Trickster, over a live video, broadcasting all over Central City.

"Get TARU down here now. I want to know how he's doing this", Captain Singh order at CCPD, as everyone was watching the feed, including those at S.T.A.R Labs.

"Citizens, you know, the holidays can be a time for genial relflection on the year past", says the Trickster. "Our ups and down, our triumphs and heartaches, but dont forget, it can also be a time from disemboweling our enemies, old and new", says the Trickster.

"We don't have a trickster on EARTH-2", Jay tell Caitlin, as they watch the feed at S.T.A.R Labs.

"He's one of the kind", Caitlin says.

"My stocking won't be completely stuffed until its filled to the brim with bloody Flash parts, and his new female speedster, just for fun", says the trickster.

"Great", says Jamie. "Thank you Barry, I can't wait to be put in a stocking", sarcastically said.

"Haha", Barry mocked.

"So what do you say, speed freaks? Want to roast chestnuts", asked the Trickster, before the feed went out.

"Are there any clues as to where he is based on the video", Barry asked.

"None that I can see", Cisco says.

He goes to the computer and rewinds the computer to look for clues.

"Guys there's a reflection of something in his cornea, see", Jay points out.

"What is that?", Barry asked.

"Not sure", Caitlin says.

"That's Mr. Jiggle Wiggle", Harry says.

"Come again", Cisco says. "It's a doll".

"A stuffed childrens toy", Harry says. "I gave one to my daughter when she was six".

"I remember this toy", Jamie says. "My mom gave me one, they when I got to old for it, I gave it to my, um friend".

"Mr. Jiggle Wiggle was manufactured by Okamura Toys", Cisco says. "Yahtzee! Okamura once had a shipping faculty in Central City that shut down four years ago, its been abandoned ever since. What if weather wizard there? The wands not finished".

"The trickster is", Jamie says.
    .......
The Flash and Storm speeds into Okamura Toys shipping facility, when they run into one, Detective Patty Spivot.

"What are you doing here", The Flash asked.

"Same thing as you two", says Patty. "Trying to catch a murder".

Suddenly, toy were singing, moving. The Trickster installed a voice recorder in one of the dolls saying,
"We can't let Christmas hog all the holiday fun! Happy Hanukkah! Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel. I made you out of C-4! Put that in your pipe and smoke it".

The two speedsters and detective were trapped surround, by dreidel, spinning on the ground, as they were listening to the trickster talk, "I'm afaraid we are definitely looking at closed casket funerals".

"There no where for me to run us", says The Flash.

"So what should we do", asked Patty.

"Hold him", Jamie says.

"Im seeing someone", Patty says.

"So is he", Jamie says. "But I can't get to you and he's your best bet".
