The Villain's Secret Santa

Name-Picking

Clouds started covering the sky more and more, snow falling to the ground, the air becoming bitter and cold as the days passed by, and soon enough..it was December 1st. Zach Varmitech had called another meeting within the villains group.

It seemed that Donita, Dabio and Gourmand had arrived early, since Paisley and her henchman Rex were nowhere to be seen. "Where is she?!" Zach paced back and forth around the room, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Relax Zach, I'm sure they'll be here soon. It's the weather." Donita followed up with, checking her newly painted nails for the christmas season.

"Ughhh..whatever." Zach sat down, planting his face into the table as he got bored of waiting. But just then, Paisley opened the door, walking into the room with Rex following behind her. They were both shivering a ton, their hands rubbing their arms. The other villains heard the door creak open, their heads turning towards the door. Zach stood up, his fists clenching at his sides as he stomped over to Paisley.

"Well there you are! What took you so long Paisley?!" Zach shouted at the tiny woman, who gave him an unamused look. She rolled her eyes before walking towards the table and not giving him a single look as she spoke.  "W-what did you expect? It's s-snowing pretty hard out there..eugh." Paisley shivered, sitting down in a chair as she wiped snow off her shoulder and out of her hair.

"She's not lying you know..I got my boot stuck in the snow." Rex quietly mumbled as he sat down in an empty chair conveniently placed next to her. Silence passed as Zach continued to give glares, the room started to fill with tension. "Anyways..what did you even invite us for Zach?" Donita spoke up, her tone of voice slightly aggravated.  

He looked at Donita, his shoulders dropping as he sighed and put on a grin. "Well, I, Zach Varmitech-" "We know who you are." "..Anyways, I've brought you all here to discuss our next money making plan for Christmas this year!" Zach proudly yelled out, as if he was so confident that everyone would agree with him.

The room was immediately filled with a mix of sighs and disapproving groans from Donita and Gourmand. While Paisley still had her arms crossed together, raising an eyebrow. "Seriously?" Zach's expression of pride immediately turned into a frown as he shrugged. "What?"

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm not doing this again." Gourmand stood up from his seat. "What–Gaston, what do you even mean?! We always do this!" Zach yelled from across the room. "Every time we do one of these "special plans," it fails because those kratt croutons get in the way!" "I hate to agree with him but he's right." Donita got up from her seat as well. "We should go. Come on Dabio." "Wha-what?!" Zach stuttered, quickly looking over to Paisley and Rex, who were both about to leave as well.

"Are you all really about to quit?!?" Yelling, Zach blocked the door. "You can't just-..leave!" "Well unless you have a better plan, we will." Donita said, waiting for a response from him. He was obviously struggling to think of an idea–a reason for them to stay. Then, Dabio spoke up. "Can't we do something..uh..fun this year? Like a christmas party!" He was cheerful, happy to give a suggestion.

"A party? That's kinda childish don't you think?" Donita raised an eyebrow, her hands going to her hips.  "Well-..then maybe not a party...er.." He took back his statement quickly, going silent as so did the rest of the room. "Zach, do you mind moving out of the way?" Paisley calmly asked, taking a step closer. "NO!!!" Zach screamed out, his voice cracking. Paisley crossed her arms, shaking her head a bit.

"Zach, I'm asking nicely–" "No!! You aren't listening to what I have planned!"

Donita scoffed, rolling her eyes as he continued to shout. "You know I've just had enough of this Zachary." She said she went to try and pry Zach away from the door so she could leave. "HEY! Let go Donita!!-
