The Missing Christmas Spirit Inside Of Us

4.

               ~Planning Presents~

"Hmmm"

Tari is sitting on the dinner table in the kitchen, writing something down on an piece of paper.

"Hey Tari, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Hey Meggy! I'm planning Christmas Presents for all my friends!"

"That's cool but...I thought we planned to do Secret Santa this year?"

"We did?"

"Oh right...you weren't there when we planned that...but no worries. We wanted to pick names today anyway. Do you know how Secret Santa works?"

"No, not really...I just heard of it before"

"I can explain it to you. It's simple. Everyone gets a name and has to get a present for that person until Christmas."

"That's really simple...thanks!"

"No problem. Now let's go to the others in the Lobby."

Meggy and Tari walk out of the kitchen and go to the Lobby where SMG4, SMG3, Mario, Luigi, Bob, Saiko, Boopkins and Melony are already waiting for them.

"Where here, you can start now."

"Great, who wants to write down the names on these pieces of paper?"

SMG4 is holding tiny paper pieces with an pencil in his hands.

"OoOoH i WaNnA dO iT."

"Uhhh sure, i guess?"

SMG4 gives Bob the paper pieces and the pencil. Bob directly starts to write down names.

"Do you really think it was a good idea?"

"What do you mean?"

"To let Bob write down the names?"
"No, not really"

weird silence between SMG3 and SMG4.

"i'M dOnE."

"Already?"

"yEs, DiDn'T yOu HeAr Me?"

"I did, but-"

"jUsT tAkE A PiEcE oF PaPeR aLrEaDy."

"Okay, geez"

SMG3 takes a piece of paper and reads the name on it, the rest does the same.

But everyone has a face that tells one sentence:

"Out of all people here, I get HIM?"

SMG3 notices that and looks over to SMG4's paper.

It has the same name as his paper.

Now everything makes sense.

"BOB!"

"WhAt?"

"Why does everyone have YOUR name on the paper?!"

"I dOn'T kNoW wHaT yOu'Re TaLkInG aBoUt"

"How do you know? You never saw our pieces?"

"Your faces tell more then words and I've read your piece of paper so it wasn't hard to find out."

"I see..."

"wElL tOo BaD. nOw YoU gUyS hAvE tO gEt Me PrESeNtS."

"Oh no we don't..."

Meggy and Saiko are ready to beat up Bob.

"oH nO"

Bob runs away, Meggy and Saiko after him.

"NoOoOoOoOoOoOo"

"Wow, Mario is-a normal today."

"Guys, where's my- MARIO!!!"

Mario holds SMG4's cap in his hand that caught a flame through a fire lighter that Mario holds under the cap.

"My cap..."

After everyone calmed down and were back together, SMG3 starts talking.

"I wrote new pieces of paper with our names. Everyone, get one out of my cap."

And so everyone picks a piece of paper and reads it.

"Uh...guys?

"What is it, Boopkins?"

"I got my own name"

Everyone groans and picked new names until everyone hasn't got his own name.
