Tess

Uncle Ray breaks the wall again.

"Aw, missed it."

"Did you get the pic?! Tell me you got it!"

"I got it."

"Yes!"

"Noooooo!"

"Aw, shut up!" And there goes Jasp throwing up. 

"Nice going."

"Don't worry. I'll get the bird someday." Just don't have your mouth open while looking up. 

"Yeah, nut what about Mom Con?"

"Huh?"

"They're gonna see that you just blew up the wall you're supposed to be guarding."

"Just get Schwoz to build another one before the Mom Con people even find out."

"What's up, guys, you just saw it live on Preston's Story...Captain Man just destroyed the EnvyGram wall!" 

"I think they know, dude."

"Uh, okay, I put a pirate hat on and climb up that tree." Here we go again with this plan. 

"Then you and Jasper switch clothes—" The phones beep. We check them. Yep, we just lost the Mom Con job. 

"It's Mom Con. We're fired."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Ehhh! Ahhhhh!" And Uncle Ray got shit on again. 

"Ewww!"

"Whatever, I'm used to it now." This was a long weekend. 


Days later

We are currently dealing with dead Christmas trees. We've been dealing with calls about Christmas trees dying all day. 

"Captain Man hotline. Your Christmas tree is dying. Yeah, we've been getting a lot of those calls. Every Christmas tree in Swellview is dying." I seriously wish I was kidding. This is giving Christmas with the Kranks tree vibes. 

"Come on, tree! Fight!"

"Stay strong, Mary, this is the news. People are counting on us."

"I don't want to lose you..." The tree flatlines. 

"I lost him." What is seriously killing the Christmas trees in Swellview? There has got to be a cause for this happening. 

"I will never forget you." Piper and Jasp come out of the elevator with yet another dead Christmas tree. 

"We're back!" 

"We got another!"

"Oh good!" Schwoz pushes off the previous corpse to replace it with a soon to be corpse if not already one. 

"This tree's lost a lot of sap. I don't know how much longer it's got!"

"Branches intact, I think you can save it!"

"Don't get your hopes up, rookie."

"This one's a fighter, I can feel it!" What is Schwoz holding?

"Watch out!"

"What's that?"

"I have a plan to find out why all the Christmas trees are dying." 

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to ask the tree what killed it. And it's going to tell me." Why am I not surprised that this is the plan? Maybe because I've working with these similar situations for about 5 years now.
