A Minerva Mink Christmas

Chapter 9 - Newt's Arrival

Minerva went into the living room with her friends and sat down. They spent time talking about all kinds of things that happened to them, they ate some dessert that Minerva had made for them to munch on, and they played a couple of board games that the Wakko had with him in his gag bag (where he holds all kinds of items for him to use when needed). After a while, it was time to open gifts that everyone had brought for each other. Minerva announced...

"Okay, everyone... It's time for us to open the gifts we got for each other! Since this is my house, I will start by giving everyone the gifts that I bought for them."

First, she handed Yakko his gift. He opened it, and saw it was a fine leather journal.

"Thanks, Minerva! With this, I'm able to write down any joke I'll think of and jot it down!"

Next, she handed Wakko his gift. He opened it, and gasped happily with what he got: a new mallet.

"Faboo! Thank you, Minerva!"

Then, Minerva handed Dot her gift. She opened it, and saw a fancy-looking hand mirror.

"Now I'll be able to admire my cuteness anytime I look into it! Thanks, Minerva!"

After she gave Dot her present, Minerva gave Pinky his present. He opened it, and saw it was a can of peanut brittle.

"Peanut brittle? I never had that stuff before in my life... I'm gonna try some right now."

But when he opened the can, a bunch of spring-loaded snakes popped out, practically surprising him.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! That was so funny, Minerva! Thanks! Narf!"

When Minerva was about to give Brain his gift, she told him...

"I kinda had trouble finding something for a mouse like you, so I got you something simple that anyone can enjoy."

Brain opened his gift and saw what he got: a Magic 8 Ball.

"I know what this is: it's an amusing toy that supposedly predicts the future when you ask it a question involving 'Yes' or 'No'."

"So what are you going to ask it, Brain?"

"I guess it's kind of obvious what I'm going to ask, Pinky..."

He picked up the Magic 8 Ball with both of his arms and shook it; as he was doing so, he asked it...

"Will I be able to take over the world someday?"

He turned it upside-down and the lens read OUTLOOK GOOD.

"Yes! Thank you, Minerva Mink."

Afterward, Minerva handed both Slappy and Skippy their gifts. Slappy got an old-fashioned film projector, and Skippy got an action-figure of a superhero called "Scorch Squirrel".

"Nicely done, Minerva! Now I can watch all of my old cartoons that I have kept at my house! Now that's the spirit of Christmas!"

"But, Aunt Slappy... Don't you usually mean 'Now that's comedy'?"

"Skippy, it's Christmas. What were you wanting to expect: a Ray Stevens holiday special?"

And finally, Minerva was ready to give Wilford his present.

"I know it's not much, but it's something I designed myself at the Mega Mall."

Wilford opened it, and saw what his gift was: a specially-designed calender that has pictures of Minerva with Wilford (in either his nerdy or handsome self) used as images for each month. The calender also displayed which days of the month the moon will be full.

"Wow! Thanks, Minerva! I don't know what to say..."

"I know I usually don't do this often, but since it's Christmas..."

She went up to him and kissed him. Wilford reacted by literally melting.

"I guess that's everyone I've given my gifts to... Who wants to hand theirs out now?"

Before anyone was about to answer, there was a knocking at the door. Minerva got up and answered it. It was Newt, who looked kind of depressed when he arrived.

"Hello there, mink. I've got something I want to say to you..."

"Newt! I'm so glad you arrived!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I actually invited you over to join my friends and celebrate Christmas with me, but I almost forgot until the very last minute; but now that you're here, that saved me a lot of trouble of calling you."

"Actually, I didn't come to spend Christmas with you; I just wanted to say something to you... Yesterday, I tried to go after you while you went to go shopping at the Mega Mall, but I got into all kinds of jams as a result; I was run over by a semi truck, I got smacked in the face by a bowling ball, I got a mouthful of hot sauce, I got electrocuted by a machine in one of the stores, and I landed in a fountain after jumping from twelve stories."

"I see... I'm so sorry that's happened to you."

"Actually, I'm the one who should be sorry; right when you were about to leave, it was me who pounced on you with a sack and tried to leave the place, but I got stopped by the security guard that I've ran into countless times and got thrown out, leading to me getting run over by a semi truck a second time."

"Well, Newt, seeing how as you when through all that trouble just to capture little ol' me, I still have something I'd like to give you..."

She handed him a gift that she wrapped up. Newt opened it and saw what it was: a picture frame containing a photo of Newt trying to go after Minerva.

"Wow, mink... No one's ever done something this nice for me other than my master..."

"Well, I figure you deserved something for all the times you went after me. Merry Christmas."

She then stepped up to Newt and kissed him on the cheek. Suddenly, Newt began to react by turning bright red and his body became shaped like a rocket; he then took off in the air like one, and reacted by going off like a set of fireworks, with sparks that spelled out MERRY CHRISTMAS, MINK. Minerva stepped outside to see the spectacular sight. Newt then landed on the ground, all black and burnt from what he went through.

"I think it's time I left for home now..."

Minerva waved farewell to Newt as we walked away. She then walked back inside her home to continue celebrating Christmas with her friends. It has been a very good Christmas for Minerva Mink this year, and she'll never forget it.

THE END.
