Competition Entry: Winter's Wonderful Friends

Chapter 5: Santa Claus Is In Town

Closer to the end of the night, it was time for some more music; this time, singing, as well as more dancing in some of the items. Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without Christmas carols... And Santa himself! As it was announced that Santa was coming, Wario yelled out,

Wario: "Bah! Santa's not real!".

I looked over at Wario, remembering the rage I held towards him back in 2018. I said nothing though and rather thought,

Karla (thinking): "We'll show you".

Just then, the door swung open and a fat man came through, wearing a red suit with a black belt to try and hold his tummy in place. He greeted everyone with a loud and hearty

Santa: "Ho ho ho!".

Once again, Wario piped out,

Wario: "He's not real".

This time, I did say something, I said to Wario,

Karla: "Oh yeah, well if you think he's not real, then why don't you go and try tugging on his beard".

Wario responded,

Wario: "Hmm",

as he rubbed his hands together. To Santa he went and yanked his beard, leaving Mona especially concerned. Santa gave a manly scream,

Santa: "Ouch!!!! Well... We know who won't be getting presents this year!".

"Wha!?", Wario exclaimed as the shock that Santa was real had just sunk in.

Wario: "No presents!?",

in-fact, Wario started to get tears in his eyes and was about to cry like a little kid. The Amino members came running up to Santa, with Ashley (Amino) asking,

Ashley (Amino): "Do we get presents?". Santa stopped and pondered for a while.

Santa: "Hmm",

goes Santa,

Santa: "Some of you do get presents... But for others, you've got a lot of work to do to earn one next year".

He then turns to Creature,

Santa: "I've seen the work you do, and I've definitely got a package for you this year".

Santa: "Now I've got to go back to the North Pole, I've got a lot to do to prepare for all the children of the globe".

Santa gave another

Santa: "Ho ho ho!",

as he broke through the door and an increasing level of bells could be heard. Attention was now turned to Winter who wanted to say something.

Winter: "Whether you've been naughty or nice, Jimmy and I have presents for all of you. As a thank you for supporting our marriage and to remind you of the wonderful friendships we all hold close to our hearts. Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. You are all Winter's wonderful friends".

--- THE END ---

I would have liked to do so much more with this story but as it's practically June 30 in 15 mins in Australia, I rushed extremely to finish this. I hope you enjoyed this quick-cut short story, addressing some wonderful concepts of Winter and her wonderful friends.
