Hey all! Happy (Belated) Holidays! :D
I was meaning to make a Christmas themed FanFiction, but unfortunately got too excited for the actual holiday and I ended up putting it off. xD
Despite the holiday passing, hopefully it'll still be a cool read!
Enjoy! ^_^
Inside the house in the park, Pop's was sitting on the bed whipping his red and white top hat with a rag. Skip's walked into the room.
"Oh hello Skips!" Pop's said. "Merry Christmas Eve too you!"
"Same to you Pop's. I like your hat." Skip's said while pointing at the hat.
"Thanks! I painted one of my old ones for such a marvelous occasion!"
"That's great. Hey, have you seen Benson anywhere? I need him to help me prepare for the Christmas party we're having tomorrow.
"Oh I have, but I don't think he'll want me telling you."
Benson peaked his head and arms out from under the bed.
"It's fine Pop's." Benson said. "It's just Skips."
"What are you doing under there?" Skips said.
"Mordecai and Rigby have this stupid thing called "Eggnogging" where they just dump eggnog all over me and I'm trying to avoid them until they have to go out or something."
"Well, I doubt they'll be going any time soon, they were looking for you too."
"What did they want?"
"I don't know, I think they wanted you to sign something."
"Hmm… I'll hide in the distance while you ask them."
"Come on, the eggnogging thing sounds hilarious."
Benson gave Skips a dirty look and snarled at him. Skips then sighed and agreed and they both went downstairs. Benson hid behind the couch while skips walked into the kitchen to meet Mordecai and Rigby.
"Sup Skips." Mordecai said.
"Hey Mordo." Skips said. "I found Benson, but he wants to know why you want to see him."
"Errr, I just want him to sign this to approve the new company toaster." Mordecai said.
Benson emerged from behind the couch and walked into the kitchen.
"Approve of a new company toaster?" Benson said.
"I know right?" Rigby said. "It's so stupid that we have to approve of a new toaster the top guys gave us."
"It is odd." Benson said. "A little too odd. Let me see that paper I have to sign."
"It's on the table with the Microwave."
Mordecai led the others to the table which had a box with pictures of a microwave with a clipboard sitting on top. Benson picked up the clipboard.
"Season's greetings… Blah blah blah… Hmm… it's even got his signature and his seal, but what's wrong with our own toaster?"
"It's pretty janked up Benson." Rigby said. "I was trying to make toast, but the bread got stuck in there."
Benson walked over to the old toaster which had bread inside of it. Benson tugged on the toast and half of it ripped off.
"Huh, it's really wedged in there." Benson said.
Benson unplugged the toaster, flipped it upside down over his head, looked up, shook and tapped on the toaster. The toast eventually popped out, but then white liquid started pouring out of the toaster and landed all over Benson.
"Agh! What the…?!" Benson shouted.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGED!" Mordecai and Rigby said while making jazz hands and laughing.
Skip's chuckled.
"Stop laughing!" Benson yelled while whipping off the eggnog.
"Haha! We got him again!" Rigby said.
"I know right?" Mordecai said. "It was worth every penny to get this new toaster to fool Benson."
"You guys actually bought a new toaster just to dump eggnog on me?" Benson said.
"Yup." Mordecai said. "Since we thought you'd get more suspicious, we needed to make this look as legit as possible. You can keep the toaster though."
"Well I might as well, since our current toaster is covered in eggnog!"
Benson opened the box, but as soon as he looked inside, white liquid shot out straight onto his face.
"DOUBLE EGGNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGED!" Mordeai and Rigby said while laughing.
Skip's laughed even harder. Benson whipped the eggnog off his face.
"Both of you hush up and get to work preparing for the Christmas party while I clean myself up from all the eggnog!"
"He seems kinda steamed." Rigby said.
"Not as steamed as he was last year, so he'll simmer down." Mordecai said.
"Don't count on it!" Benson said from the distance.
Mordecai, Rigby and Skips went on to preparing for the Christmas party. They decorated the entire first floor, set up a table with drinks and snacks and put some Christmas themed movies on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Alright we're done." Skips said.
"I'll say, the house looks great!" Rigby said.
"I know. I think we may have out done ourselves." Skips said. "Now you two wait here, I gotta round up the others."
"What for?" Mordecai said.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell ya. All the employees in the park are participating in a Secret Santa event. We're gonna draw names out of a bowl to see who has to give who a present, so wait here for everyone to get here."
"Okay." Mordecai and Rigby said.
Skips walked into another part of the house.
"Secret Santa?" Rigby said. "Why would they want us to do something like that?"
"I don't know," Mordecai said. "Probably to strengthen the company bond or something."
The door bell rang.
"I'll get it." Rigby said.
"Are you really going to get it?" Mordecai said.
Rigby groaned.
"That's what I thought." Mordecai said.
Mordecai got up from the couch and opened the door. Marget and Eileen where there.
"Hey Marget!" Mordecai said. "Oh and hello to you too Eileen."
"Merry Christmas Eve, Mordecai." Marget said.
"We just stopped by to see if you guys where having another Christmas party." Elieen said.
"Yep, same deal as last year. Heheh." Mordecai said.
"Except this time we're doing Secret Santa." Rigby said.
"Oooh! Secret Santa?! I haven't done that since I was a kid!" Margret said. "Can we do the Secret Santa thing with you guys?"
"I don't see why not." Skips said while walking over to join them and handing Margret and Eileen two small slips of paper and two markers. "Just write your names on these slips of paper, drop it in the bowl and we'll pull names out now."
Margret and Eileen wrote their names on the slips of paper, put the paper in the bowl and gave the markers back to Skips. Them and Mordecai and Rigby followed skips to the living room where Benson, Muscle Man, Fives, and Thomas where. Skips explained what they were doing and they all drew names out of the bowl.
"Who did you get Rigby?" Mordecai said.
"Umm…" Rigby said while peering his eyes at the slip of paper. "Darn, I got Eileen."
"Why is that a bad thing?" Mordecai said.
"I don't know what girls like!"
"Come on, can't be that hard. Watch, I'll find Margret the perfect gift."
"How can you tell who you got if you didn't even open your paper?"
"Uhh…"
Mordecai opened his slip of paper. It bared the name 'Fives'.
"Darn! Got High Five Ghost! Then who got Margret?"
Mordecai looked over at Muscle Man.
"Who the heck is 'Margret'?" Muscle Man said.
Mordecai walked quickly over Muscle Man.
"Oh, he's just some weirdo who crashed the party. I got Fives though! We can trade!"
Suddenly Margret walked over.
"Hey Mordecai," Margret said. "could you tell me who this person is? Calls himself 'Muscle Man'?"
"I'm Muscle Man." Muscle Man said.
"Oh darn it! I gave myself away!"
"Haha, that's alright. I didn't even like surpises that much. What's your name."
"My name's Margret."
"It is, is it? Interesting."
"Yeah, I'll make sure to get you something nice in time for the party. Nice meeting you!"
Margret walked away.
"So, that's Margret?" Muscle Man said with a smirk.
"Just trade names with me already." Mordecai demanded.
"I don't know Mordo, what's it worth to ya?" Muscle Man said while waving the piece of paper across Mordecai's face.
"Ugh what do you want?" Mordecai said while shoving Muscle Man's arm out of the way.
"If you want to impress your lady friend so badly-"
"She's not my 'lady friend!" Mordecai shouted."
"Whatever, if you want to be her Secret Santa, you're also gonna be my Secret Santa too, and the gift better be good and not just a stupid greeting card!"
"Okay, fine, whatever."
Muscle Man and Mordecai exchanged the slips of paper, and Mordecai walked back to Rigby.
"Check it out, I'm Margret's Secret Santa!" Mordecai said.
"Awesome bro! Watchya gonna get her?" Rigby asked.
"Uhhh…"
"What's the matter? I thought you said giving gifts to females was easy?" Rigby said sarcastically.
Mordecai punched Rigby in the shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground.
