Katsuma's Choptastic Christmas Countdown: 4 weeks to go
24th December
On the evening, Katsuma was the first to enter the ballroom in a fine tuxedo. He expects all guests to be in either party dresses or tuxedos.
Furi, Kalaban and Kirk popped out of his pockets.
Furi: The pocket was tight. I could hardly breathe.
The first few arrivals were Runo, also in a tux, along with Zommer, Sumo and Clarence in dresses behind him. They all had to put on coats over their clothes as it's cold outside. Then when they entered the ballroom, they can put away the coats.
Runo: Missy and Kengo will arrive a little later.
Kalaban: Katsuma! The door!
Amy entered the ballroom a little later than Runo.
Amy: The colours matches my outfit.
Ramraider: Yo Katsuma! Open up!
Katsuma opened the door.
Katsuma: That tux of yours is nice, Ramraider.
Ramraider: Waaah! Ya! thanks.
Minutes later, while the salt and pepper shakers were preparing the dinner, Runo recieved a call from Missy. She said she's at the door, so Katsuma went to open.
He opened it and there was Missy and Kengo.
Runo: That's a nice tux, Kengo You've been wearing the same robe over and over again.
Poppet: Katsuma! I've finally learnt how to put on the coat right.
Katsuma opened the door: That's great! Come on in.
So how's everything so far?
Penelopea: Katsuma! I'm here!
Katsuma opened the door again.
Penelopea: I managed to bring in Wontu right here with me!
Wontu: Wontu!
Katsuma: Allright, then enjoy the party.
Olli: Open the door! I've finally learnt some songs!
So Katsuma opened the door again. Olli was holding a file of papers. Behind her was Yumi with her guitar, and Ami with her mike in her hand.
Olli: Here, have these.
So Katsuma read the lyrics to the scripts line by line.
Katsuma: Did you rewrite the lyrics to the songs?
Olli: Yeah. It's going to be a parody, and a rearrangement, with my performers Ami and Yumi.
Yumi: Do we have to do this?
Ami: Shiranai, but I rather stick to the original lyrics.
An hour has passed and Katsuma hasn't got any visitors since at his door since.
Kalaban: yawn It's about time to celebrate. Why haven't anyone come here yet?
The door: Hello. Who's there?
Kalaban: The door!
Kirk's thought bubble: Open it!
Katsuma went to the door and opened it. At the door was Solarflare and Alex stood at the entrance.
Solarflare: I'm sorry I was late. But I have this set of lights for the tree!
Alex: So how's everything so far?
Katsuma: Don't worry
Solarflare: I also had Shinji with me, but she's having a lot of trouble in the snow. Her hair keeps turning into ice!
And Zuma's just playing in the snow. I hope her dress is still alright when she's arrived at the ballroom.
Oh there she is.
Shinji: Solarflare! You're supposed to be my help to warm me up in the cold, why did you leave me outside?!
Solarflare: (chuckle) Oops.
I'll go put the lights up. You can stay inside where it's much warmer.
Zuma: Solarflare! I'm here!
Alex: Glad you're here!
And after they put the lights on the tree, and the salt and pepper brought in the dinner, Katsuma snapped a party cracker and the festive party began!
There is plenty of sparkling drink for everyone. Here, have a glass.
