Back in the forest Usami continued to walk, Suzuki not being far behind. He than let out a quick yawn, as though he were sleep walking. "Where are we? This place is definitely new to me." Suzuki gave out a quick bark, however Usami was more intrigued by the sight ahead of him. He stood in a small clearing with multiple trees surrounding him, each of them having a different symbol on them. "Now what is this?" He asked moving the silver strands from his eyes. He stared at each of the trees completely puzzled until his eyes met with the symbol of a large pine that was heavily decorated. The sight seemed to enthrall him, as he inched his way closer to it. Akihiko than noticed that these were not just painted symbols, but doors. He slowly reached for the door knob, than all of a sudden a portal opened and sucked him inside. "Whoa!"
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Usami fell into a large pile of snow, and was completely excited about this new place. He had never seen snow before in his life and he put some in his pocket to bring back to his home. The Pumpkin King wanted so badly to show his friends back home the wonders of this world. "What is this, there's powder all over the place, and in the air there are these little white things." He managed to take a snowflake from the air, and stared at it with complete curiosity. "What's this?" He asked as he took the hat and carrot from a snowman disguising himself as it.
Three elves caroling passed him in his disguise. "People singing songs? The streets are lined with little creature and everyone seems so happy, so what is this?" He started to follow a small group before jumping out of his disguise. He stood behind a snowfort watching a snowball fight. "The children are throwing balls of powder and not heads? Never seen anything like this in my life. Nobody here is even dead? There's a bit of ice in each of the windows, and for some reason I feel so warm inside." He than looked into a small window and watched as they decorated. "They hang mistletoe, and kiss? That looks very unique." He than looked into another window and saw one of the strangest things in this place. "Why they have a little tree in there. But why are they putting all those little lights on it?" Suddenly the entire thing lit up, but Usami was already climbing the house and heading towards the next one. "This looks like so much fun could I have finally got my wish? What's this now?"
He than crawled into a room with 5 sleeping children crammed into a bed. "The children are asleep, but there's no monster under the bed. There's nothing here to scare, or terrify them. Only dreams of pure bliss...haah...What's this?!" His sudden shout woke up a child, but as he was looking around Usami had already left. He now stood next to a large factory, where many elves were busy. "There are no monsters here, and the nightmares are all missing. But in their place there is this wonderful feeling here. I can smell the sweets absolutely everywhere." Akihiko than jumped onto a carousel. "These sights, and sounds just leave me in awe. I've never felt this great before in my life." The Pumpkin King than jumped on top of a large train. "I want this place so bad but I must know what it is! What is this place!" Usami than began to stomp in the snow before crashing into a large sign making fall back, leaving a large print in the snow. "Christmas town?"
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Back in Halloweentown the citizens were growing restless. "This has never happened before." The clown was speaking to one of the witches. "It is suspicious." A very worried Miyagi pushed his way through the crowd. "We need to find Usami. Is there anyplace we haven't checked yet?" The first to speak up was the clown. "I checked in every marsoleum." The witches said that they had opened the sarcophogi. " I went through the pumpkin patch." One of the zombies complained whilst trying to shake a pumpkin from his foot. "I looked around the cyclops's eye but he wasn't there!" One of the vampires stepped forward tugging at his own eyeball. The mayor than shouted "We need to sound the alarms!"
A loud howling noise filled the entire town reaching Kamijou's lab on the far outskirts of town. Inside the ragdoll boy Misaki was busy making a meal for his creator. "Ugh this smells bitter." He had just thrown in a large handful of nightshade. His hand instinctly went over his nose to try and distract himself from the smell. "Frogs breath will neutralize any odor." He began to shake the animal heavily above the couldren. "Ugh...now it smells terrible... I need worms wart." Misaki than began to fumble through various cabinets before getting the item he so desperately wanted. "Misaki is the food ready yet?" The brunette got startled by the sound of Kamijous voice. "Almost ready professor!" He than threw in a handful of the worms wart before ladeling it into a large bowl. "That should do it." Kamijou yelled again. "Misaki!" With a cute smile he yelled. "Coming!" Than headed up the stairs.
"Here's your lunch professor." He said placing the bowl in front of him. The professor took a small spoonful and sniffed it. "This smells like wormswart and there is nothing more suspicious than this plant!" He than threw the spoon at Misaki. "I refuse to eat until you take a bite." Fortunately the ragdoll had planned ahead for this situation and reached into his shoe grabbing a large slotted spoon. "See it's delicious." He than took a fake slurp of the soup before handing the bowl back to the professor. The man began to drink it straight from the bowl and was out within a few moments.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Back in town everyone was in a depressed slump. "Has anyone checked the lake yet?" The vampires groaned slightly annoyed. "Yes we checked it this morning." Suddenly a loud and distinctive bark filled the town. "You hear that, it sounds like Suzuki." Everyone began to strain their ears listening to the loud yips of Usami's dog. Akihiko than drove through the gates in his black car. "Usami's back!" Miyagi had put his joyous face back on. "Miyagi announce a town meeting tonight!" The mayor was deeply confused at that moment.
"But where have you been?"
"I'll tell everyone about it during the meeting."
The mayor began to walk around yelling "Town meeting!" into a megaphone. Misaki was now walking towards the town hall staying near the back of the room so that he wouldn't attract to much attention. A clown nearly knocked him over as he was trying to find a seat. "Attention everyone!" As the pumpkin king made his way to the podium the entire room went silent. "I want to tell you all about Christmas town." The lights than went dark and a spotlight shown on his face. "There were so many strange things that I cannot seem to describe this whole new world. It was like a very peculiar dream." He than walked towards a curtain string and grabbed it. "But you must believe me because my words are the truth, this place is like my skull and it does exist." Than he pulled it showing the citizens objects that were unknown to them. "Here let me show you." On the stage was a bare tree that was badly decorated, surrounded by presents, and ornaments. Everyone seemed to be scared by these items except for Misaki. Usami than picked up a large box wrapped in colorful paper. "This is what they call a present. It justs starts with a box." Suddenly the room was filled with question. "Are there bugs in it, how about a pox?" Akihiko than told them to calm down.
"Now let me explain, all it is, is a box with this bright colored paper, and it's just topped off with a bow." Suddenly the witches were at the front of the room. "That's just so ugly, so what's in it." Usami than shooed them away. "The point of it is to not know." Suddenly the box was taken from him, his hair getting knocked into his eyes again.
"It's a bat, and rat."
"Perhaps it's that head that I found in the lake."
The pumpkin king than took the box away from the citizens. "That is not the point of Christmas land!" He than put the box down and picked up a large red sock. "Now pay attention to this. You see this oversized sock. Well over there they hang it on a wall."
"Does it still have a foot, and is it rotted too?"
"Umm... I need to explain. There's no foot, but instead it's filled with candy and toys."
"Toys? Do they snap, or do they just jump out at children and scare them?"
The mayor nearly fell off of the light. "This Christmas thing sounds fun, let's try it at once!" Miyagi spoke as he regained his balance. Akihiko was now yelling at the top of his lungs. "Everyone please calm down you still don't quite get it." Everyone was now looking at him confused. "The best has been saved for the last, and it's about the ruler of the Christmas land. He's a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice, but that's what I understand. His appearance is something to truly behold like a lobster he is huge and red. He carries bulging sacks with his great big arms! During a dark cold night, only guided by the moons light he flies away like a vulture in the sky." The town was on the edge of their seats now. "And they call this man Sandy Claws!" Everyone was now giving him a standing ovation as he made his way behind the curtains. "I really am glad they're excited, but they don't understand it. How you really feel in Christmas land... Oh well..."
