[Eunice gives Quasimodo a doll that sings a tune, but Quasimodo hates it and tries getting rid of it without Eunice knowing.]

Eunice took a walk in the forest. She stopped when she saw a box.

"Ah!" chuckled Eunice.

Later...

Quasimodo made wormcakes in his kitchen.

"Esmeralda, pass over the sheep barf," said Quasimodo. Esmeralda pushed a jar of sheep barf towards Quasimodo, but Eunice suddenly opened the door which hit the counter, making Esmeralda and the jar fall to the ground. "Oh."

"Sorry about that," whimpered Eunice.

"It's d'accord, I have like 300 jars."

Eunice placed a gift on a table.

"I thought I should give you a gift since we kinda hate you and you probably won't get much presents for Christmas..."

Quasimodo seemed confused by what Eunice said.

"Hate me? What do you mean you guys hate me?"

Eunice slapped her head.

"You don't remember the pranks? How you helped Bela? How you told on Drac- Oh, you did a right thing that time..."

"Ah, I remember now. Can I open the gift now?"

Eunice nodded as Quasimodo rushed to the table. He opened the gift and saw a doll in the box, and then opened the box. The doll sang a jolly tune as Quasimodo shivered.

"Oh! A doll!" chuckled Quasimodo nervously.

"Do ya like it? I found it in the forest!" said Eunice.

"I guess..."

"Great! I'm glad you're happy!"

Eunice walked out of the room.

"Well Esmeralda, that's one of the first times the monsters gave me a gift," said Quasimodo, placing the doll on a shelf.

Later...

Quasimodo was making lizard fingers, but the doll suddenly sang it's jolly tune. He accidentally poured half a jar of sheep barf on one of the fingers.

"WHAT! Okay, this doll can't be in my kitchen," growled Quasimodo.

Quasimodo took the doll to the pool and threw in the water, but Eunice and Frank passed by.

"Huh?" said Eunice. She whimpered towards Quasimodo. Quasimodo nervously chuckled and took his shirt and hat off. He jumped into the pool and patted the doll. "Ah, you must be having a doll pool party."

Quasimodo saw a long line of people at the diner and patted the doll faster.

Later...

The doll's tune changed because of the water, making it more annoying to Quasimodo.

"Gasp! I can get the doll away without Eunice noticing!" snickered Quasimodo. He saw apple cider on a counter. "Hehehe."

He tied a bottle of apple cider to the doll and laughed it towards the Cave of the Bat Cronies. When Quasimodo went to his kitchen, Eunice wanted to stop by and noticed the doll was gone.

"Where's the doll?" asked Eunice worriedly.

Quasimodo looked at the shelf.

"GASP! WHERE IS IT?!" whimpered Quasimodo, looking under the table.

Eunice looked in the cabinets.

The doll in the meantime hit the bat cronies' slingshot and flung back towards the hotel.

Quasimodo and Eunice looked at the hotel entrance.

"I couldn't find the doll anywhere," sighed Quasimodo.

"Aww, I'm sorry that you lost it," whimpered Eunice, hugging Quasimodo then walking off. Quasimodo sighed in relief, but the doll hit Quasimodo in the head as it sang it's tune. "OH! WE FOUND IT!"

Quasimodo had his tongue out with a red bump on his forehead.

Later...

Quasimodo cut vegetables as he frustrated. The doll's tune was deeper and ruined than before.

Quasimodo clenched his hands then growled, "THAT'S IT! I'm done with this doll!"

Quasimodo pushed boxes outside and put the doll on the floor, then threw a box on it. Eunice passed by and saw what Quasimodo did.

"Uh, what are you doing?" asked Eunice curiously. Quasimodo nervously chuckled and put the doll on a box, then placed holiday lights around. The doll sang the jolly tune weakly. "Oh! You made a statue for her!"

"Hehe, thought I'd give it something," chuckled Quasimodo nervously. The doll and the box suddenly caught fire and burned as the ashes fell to the ground.  "Hehe!"

"Huh?" said Eunice, questioning Quasimodo's laugh. Quasimodo squealed and began sobbing. "I'm sorry Quasimodo."

Eunice walked off as Quasimodo stopped his fake crying.

"Phew," sighed Quasimodo in relief, walking into his kitchen.

Eunice got an idea in her head.

"Aha!" chuckled Eunice.

The next day...

Quasimodo breathed and looked at the now empty shelf.

"Finally, cooking with peace," said Quasimodo. As he began cutting onions, he heard singing. "Huh?"

Quasimodo turned around and dropped his jaw. Eunice dressed up similarly to what the doll looked like, pigtails, a white dress, a red coat, and black boots.

"Fa la la la la! La la la la! Hehe, ho ho!" chuckled Eunice.

Quasimodo sighed and looked down.
