Wagassiertchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper. groaned as their boss handed them a huge stack of notices and they took them. They both cringed as it was very high up and was easy for them to fall at any given time.
"Let us help you with that, boys." said Tom as she and Minion went to help.
"Hey, thanks." said Homestar smiling as their friends took the stack. But of course, they had trouble.
"Geez, there's a lot of notices today." observed Jerry trying to keep the stack from falling.
"We'll get them." said Paul trying to keep the stack up as well.
As Wagassiertchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper watched, their fellow employees try to put the notices away but the highness of it was different to do so. Finally they yelled, "Look out", as they fell to the ground with the stack of notices.
"Ooh" said Jak cringing.
Meanwhile, Strong Bad chuckled as he worked. "Ha! Christmas is a busy time for us, Wagassiertchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper. People are so busy making feasts, giving parties, and spending their cash on useless junk, they didn't bother to pay their mortgages! December is the foreclosure season in my opinion; it's the harvest time for the moneylenders".
After the employees recovered, they stood next to Wagassiertchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper.
"Hey Wagassiertchi, Eddy. Tell him." whispered Jerry.
"Yeah, tell him boys" insisted Phil.
"Come on, do it, you two!" insisted Carl.
After getting several more insists, both Wagassiertchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper nodded then turned to speak to Strong Bad, clearing his throat. "If you please Strong Bad, sir? It's gotten cold in here and First and Second Squad wondered if they could have an extra shovelful of coal for the fire".
"We can't do our work in this cold!" groaned Phil as he shivered.
"Our pens are turned into ink-cicles." added Carl.
"And our assets are frozen." Woo the Wise shivered.
Strong Bad frowned/scowled as he said, "Oh, then how would you employees of mine like to be suddenly..." He looks up quickly and yelled so loud that the employees hairs blew and covered ears back like they were in the wind, "UNEMPLOYED?!"
"Heat wave!" said the Minions quickly, getting quickly dressed into Hawaiian outfits. Soon enough, they danced around singing, "This is my island in the sun," as they went back to work.
Wagassiertchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper looked around nervously and chuckled, "Well, you've convince them again, Strong Bad". After getting another glare from their boss, both Wagassiertchi and Sly quickly went back to work.
Outside, the six of narrators looked on through the window.
"Geez, he's grumpier than any diesel I met!" observed Jun.
Mimi AKA Marie cat, nodded. She then went back to narrating as she looked at 'The Audience', "'At that moment, who should arrive at the door but Spongebob, ed, the cheat and chowder, four of his only Ftiends, they were formally known as others
"Strong Bad's others? I don't see them." Timmy said looking around. "Trust me." Just then four strange figure came to the building and knocked loudly, alarming Timmy enough to make him accidentally fall into the snow. The first figure looked like a cute sea sponge, being rectangular and bright yellow with a dark brown. he is more of a regular square shape. SpongeBob has large blue eyes, a long, slightly curved nose, a large mouth with two prominent front buck teeth, and dimples with three freckles on each cheek. He typically wears a white shirt with a red tie, black leather shoes with shoelaces, and brown rectangular pants with a black belt. This was SpongeBob SquarePants.
The second figure was a tall, has yellow skin, a light blue colored tongue, horse teeth, ginger hair in a buzz cut (making it appear black), He wearing purple/blue pants, large black shoes a red and white striped T-shirt. He also wears a dark olive/green jacket with brown lining on the inside and with white sleeve stripes on the outside. He is Ed.
The third figure is a purple cat/bear/rabbit (In Endive's Dirty Secret Mung said he is a robot), He has a pink nose with a tail like a raccoon's, black and red pants, He has a purple hat with two points and has a purple and fuchsia/magenta shirt that covers his legs. He wears purple shoes and at times has pants on. His body looks so much like an android. He is Chowder.
The last figure is a short Furball guy who He is at knee-height (1' 2" and 18lb., or 35.56 cm and 8.17 kg) and covered with yellow fur with prominent black spots down his back, He has round black eyes and a pointed, wear a Green Sweater, green scaf and Green and Red Hat.
"Hello? County?" announced SpongeBob.
"Timmy." said Homesilvis, Toro, Jun, Ricky, Pierre, Suzuki, Boxxy Boy, Bassy girl and Clank as they helped Timmy out of the snow. "Well, you are very good at that, Miss Chan Girl." said Timmy sarcastically as Daxter laughed. SpongeBob opened the door and came in. He smiled as he saw Strong Bad sitting at his desk working. "Merry Christmas, County!" cheered SpongeBob. "God save you!" added Ed. Strong Bad looked up and frowned. "'Merry Christmas'? Bah, humbug!" "Quick, it will be warmer in there!" yelled Timmy as he runs into the building. The others paused then went in themselves. They got in just as Chowder closed the door. "Christmas is a humbug? Oh, come now. You surely don't mean that!" said SpongeBob surprised. He knew his former boss was like this every Christmas season. As Mimi, Jewel, Amy, Yumemitchi, Kiraritchi, Daxter, Homesilvis, Timmy, Toro, Boxxy Boy and Bassy girl walked through the building, Bassy girl shivered, "Actually it's colder in here."
"Yeah." agreed Amy shivering.
"Merry Christmas, ha!" snapped Strong Bad angrily at SpongeBob, unaware of other new comers in the room. "What gave you four the right to be merry? You're all poor enough. And besides Ed, I thought you dislike the holiday as well, didn't you?!" "Well, that is true, I used to dislike it even though I'm a baddie but I liked it now. Plus, why you be so dismal, you're rich enough." Ed pointed out. "He got a point. The Strong man is speechless." said Homesilvis in amusement as he looked at a speechless look on Strong Bad's face. However it didn't last long as he looked annoyed as he said, "Well, if I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his or her lips would be cooked with his or her own turkey..." Wagassiertchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper looked up and yelped while held on to each other as they heard what their boss was saying. "...and buried with a stake of holly through his heart." "Homesilvis, not quite speechless." said Kiraritchi with a groan. "Oh come on, County!" protested SpongeBob and three of them laugh each other. "Quiet you! You just keep Christmas in your own way and I will do it in mine, okay?" snapped Strong Bad to Spongebob, ed, the cheat and chowder. Spongebob, ed, the cheat and chowder all frowned. Then Ed said, "Christmas is a loving, honest, and charitable time. And though it's never put a scrap of gold, silver, or a hundred dollar bill in pocket, I believe that Christmas has done me, Spongebob, ed, the cheat and chowder good and will do us good and I say God bless it!" Wagassiertchi, Homestar Runner, Jak, Sly Cooper, First and Second Squad had stopped working to hear the cheat's speech. When he was done, they all cheered for his.
Strong Bad got annoyed by this however as he yelled out, "Let's see if any of you will celebrate Christmas in the unemployment line!" The workers yelped as they got back to work. Unknown to Strong Bad, Toro had put some coal in the furnace nearby as Daxter blew to keep the room and himself warm. As they did, Homesilvis, Timmy, Toro, Boxxy Boy and Bassy girl watched as Mimi narrated.
"'Now, in these times, it was customary on Christmas Eve for well-meaning people to call upon business, collecting donations for the poor and homeless'." explained Spongebob. As he said this, the door to the workplace opened up once more and two Mr. Men came in. They're two cheerful small guys who collect donations for people. Mr. Nosey, as his name says, is very curious and Mr. Small, as his name says too, is the shortest of both. Mr. Small is colored orange, wears a very high top hat and white shoes and Mr. Nosey is colored light green, has an oval-shaped orange nose and wears a black necktie. They're very good friends.
"Hello! You must be Strong Bad, right?" asked Mr. Nosey with a smile. Strong Bad looked up and groaned. "Oh great! a couple of Mr. Men people!" He growled, "What do you two want?" "My name is Mr. Small and this is Mr. Nosey." Mr. Small said introducing himself and Mr. Nosey as they walked further into the room. Mr. Nosey nods with a smile. "We're from the DillyDale Charity Foundation going around business and stuff. We came to speak to you about a donation." Mr. Nosey elaborated.
"Oh, hello," chowder said with a smile then she, Spongebob, ed and the cheat nodded to their former boss. "This jolly old man is Strong Bad. He is very kind to charities!" "Others!" yelled Strong Bad annoyed. He hated it when his others tried to put him through stuff like this. "Well, Strong Bad, at this great time of the year, the Christmas season, many of us feel that we should take care of the poor and homeless." explained Mr. Small as he and Mr. Nosey walked up to the desk. "Okay, maybe. But what happened to the prisons and poorhouses? Aren't they still around?" asked Strong Bad. "Oh, they're plenty of those still standing." Mr. Nosey said "Oh good. I was getting worried for a second." said Strong Bad sarcastically. Mr. Small took out a notebook and pencil as he continues, "We are hoping to raise a fund for the poor and homeless. What should I put you down for?"
"Nothing."
"Oh, you want to be anonymous. That's okay too. We'd just..." Mr. Nosey began. Strong Bad interrupted Mr. Nosey angrily, making both him and Mr. Small jump a bit. "I wish to be left alone, got it?! I don't like to make myself merry at Christmas!" "Well, he is right about that." said chowder with a frown. "And I can't afford to make idle people merry!" "He is wrong about that." ed added frowning deeply. Strong Bad glared at Spongebob, ed, the cheat and chowder, "Don't you four have anything to do this afternoon, others?" "Well, to tell you the truth we do unfortunately. So we will just make our donation and leave you to give yours." Spongebob said. he and ed then took out a $10 and gave it to Mr. Small. "This is the best we can give you, kind sir". "Why, thank you so much." said Mr. Small smiling.
Spongebob, ed and chowder headed back to the door with a Christmas poster in Spongebob's hands. Before they left, Spongebob turned back to Strong Bad and said, "Oh! I almost forgot! You have got to come have Christmas dinner with us tomorrow, plus I got a Christmas date with Chowder as well!"
"Oh great. When did you and Chowder started dating?" said Strong Bad in annoyance.
Spongebob laughed and sighed happily. "Because I fell in love, of course. Oh, I had to admit that Dimmy's pretty cute."
Chowder blushed a little bit.
"Ha! That is the only thing in the world more stupider than a Merry Christmas!"
"Well, no use, now. We will keep our Christmas humor to the last". said Spongebob as he put the poster on the front door. Then he said, "A Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year."
"Merry Christmas, you four" Sly said with a smile.
"Merry Christmas to you, boys," Ed said, smiling back. Chowder then opened the door and he, Spongebob, Ed and Chowder went through it, leaving the building.
"Humbug!" snapped Strong Bad as Chowder closed the door behind them. He grumped as he went back to work. After a few seconds, he realized that Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey were still near his desk. He looked up and frowned.
"Now sir, about the donation." said Mr. Small, a hopeful look on his face.
Strong Bad scowled. What does it take to make them leave? He thought in frustration. All of a sudden, he got a wickedly evil idea as he smirked, "Well now, I think I know how to deal with the poor." He got up from his desk and walked away from it. Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey followed happily. They stopped being happy as he said, "My taxes can pay for the prisons and poorhouses. Those homeless creeps must go there!"
"What?" gasped Mr. Small in shock. "But some would rather die!"
"If they'd rather die, then they'd better do it and decrease the surplus population!" yelled Strong Bad angrily.
"Oh my!" yelped Mr. Nosey in shock.
"Jeepers!" added Mr. Nosey who is shocked as well.
Strong Bad opened the front door and said, "This is the door, you may use it."
"Well, alright." said Mr. Nosey nervously as he and Mr. Nosey headed towards the door. "Let's go, Mr. Nosey, I think we've taken enough of Strong Bad's time."
Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey, both having frightened looks on their faces, made their exit quickly. Strong Bad slammed the door after them and scowled.
His workers, who were watching, went back to work quickly as he turned around. He spotted the poster his others had left hanging on the door, grabbed it, and began turning it into a paper ball. Just then a singing voice outside interrupted him.
Voice: Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen
Annoyed, Strong Bad opened the door and again and looked to see whom singing.
Though the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even
Hearing the voice just below him, he looked down slightly and saw a little mouse lemur right now wearing a white soft scarf on the steps below singing. His name was Mort (from Madagascar).
Brightly shown the moon that night
Though the...
Mort looked up slightly and stopped singing as she saw an angry look on Strong Bad's face. Mort gapes and chuckled nervously.
"What do you want?" snapped Strong Bad angrily.
"Uh...a penny for the song, sir?" asked Mort nervously.
Angrily, Strong Bad closed the door in Mort's face. The mouse lemur sighed sadly and turned to walked away. But before he could get too far, he heard the door is opening behind him again. Smiling, thinking Strong Bad was going to give him some money, he turned, only to get smacked down by a paper balled poster.
Strong Bad angrily slammed the door once more, much to Mort's sadness.
Back inside, the workers, who were watching again, went back to work as he turned back around. They kept on working as Strong Bad went back to his desk, grumbling angrily. Once it was safe, Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly and the other employees looked up, both in disbelief and pity at their boss.
Later that night, Strong Bad was still at work counting up the money on his desk.
"17...24...42...58…252...21...78..." Strong Bad said counting.
"Ahem." Strong Bad looked up to see Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly and the other employees looking at him. Jak spoke up. "Pardon me for the interruption, sir, but it's close to closing time."
Strong Bad sees the clock and sure enough, it is that time.
"Fine. I will see you all at 8 tomorrow morning." said Strong Bad. Then he went back to his counting.
Sly sighed. He and Homestar had to convince their boss to give them and the others tomorrow off. Wagashietchi spoke "Uh, Strong Bad, tomorrow's Christmas."
"Fine. 8: 30, then."
The others looked at Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly, looking hopeless. Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly however weren't giving up yet as they said, "Excuse us, sir, we don't think a half an hour off seems great even on Christmas Day".
"Yeah! It doesn't work!" Tom agreed.
Strong Bad looked up and frowned. "Okay, Wagashietchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly. What do you think the time off you need is right?"
"Well, to tell you the truth...the whole day?" suggested Wagashietchi hopefully.
"Yes! That's right! The whole day!" agreed the other employees happily.
"The entire day?" asked Strong Bad in concern.
"Uh, it was their idea." said Mark nervously as she pointed at Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly.
"Strong Bad, the other business will be closed tomorrow, so why bother opening the office tomorrow anyway? It will be a waste of money if there's no one to do business with." explained Jak. "Plus, it will waste coal for the fire."
"He's got a point." agreed Dave.
"That's right" added Tom with a nod.
Strong Bad frowned. "It's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every December 25th!" Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly and the workers looked down, thinking their boss won't give them the day off after all. That is until he added, "But it looks like I am the only sane person who knows that. Take the day off."
Upon hearing, Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly and the employees cheered happily. They cheer positive remarks for Strong Bad as he got up from his desk and got himself ready to leave.
"Will you stop that!" yelled Strong Bad angrily at the employees, freaking them out and forcing them to leave.
Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly, the only two around, nodded and smiled, "Thanks, Strong Bad."
Outside, just as Strong Bad was leaving, he spoke to his workers still inside.
"Be here all the earlier the next morning!" exclaimed Strong Bad.
"Okay!" said the employees happily. Strong Bad closed the door and walked away. As he did, Mimi and her friends were nearby watching.
"'With their employer gone at last, Wagashietchi, Homestar Runner, Jak, Sly Cooper and their fellow employees Minions immediately began that most pleasant of activities...the celebration of Christmas'." Mimi narrated.
Inside, Jerry looked out the window and turned to the others with a smirk.
"The Strong Bad's gone!" cheered Mark happily. The others cheered happily.
Wagashietchi smiled as he said, "Everyone, let's close up for Christmas."
As Wagashietchi, Homestar Runner, Jak, Sly Cooper and their friends began to do so, Wagashietchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper began to sing. As they did, they and the others cleaned up to close up for Christmas.
As Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly and their friends began to do so, Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly began to sing. As they did, they and the others cleaned up to close up for Christmas.
Wagashietchi: There's magic in the air this evening
Magic in the air
Homestar: The world is at her best, you know
When people love and care
Jak: The promise of excitement
Sly: Is one the night will keep
Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly: After all, there's only one more sleep till Christmas
Their other workers cleaned up, moving furniture, trying to close the shade and keep failing to do so, etc..
Wagashietchi: The world has got a smile today
The world has got a glow
Homestar: There's no such thing as strangers when a stranger says hello
Wagashietchi: And everyone is family
Homestar: We're having so much fun
Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly: After all, there's only one more sleep till Christmas
The others continued on their chores, finally getting some work done, including closing the shade.
"That's it!" cheered Kevin and Dave.
"We're done!" announced Steve with a smile.
"Very good, everyone." said Wagashietchi with a smile.
Outside, Jak locked up the workplace for Christmas. As he, Wagashietchi and their fellow employees walked away, and everyone was having fun, while Wagashietchi got on his jacket and a red and yellow zigzag scarf and Sly got on his cherry red and violet zigzag scarf as well, he two continued to sing.
Homestar: 'Tis the season to be jolly and joyous
Sly: With a burst of pleasure we feel it arrive
Homestar: It's a season when the saints can employ us
Jak: To spread the news about peace and to keep love alive
Just then, Homestar heared some cheering some nearby."Hey, look at that!" Phil said pointing.
"Cool! It's the Time Shifters' Christmas skating party!" said Homestar smiling as he saw the Time Shifters having fun, skating. He, Jak and the employees went over to watch.
(Author's Note: the Time Shifters are all from a rare anime series called "Flint the Time Detective")
"Hey look! It's Wagashietchi, Homestar Runner, Jak and Sly Cooper!" said Bubblegum smiling as he saw Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly and the others coming.
"Hey, guys!" said Unita waving.
"Wagashietchi! Jak!" Talen repeated.
Change wasn't watching where he was going and he crashed into Bindi, knocking her down.
"Careful, you clumsy!" snapped Bindi as she brushed off the ice shavings.
"Sorry!" said Change sheepishly.
Wagashietchi noticed that most of the shifters were going to an arch nearby. They were watching a few people doing some crazy stunts or whatever they were doing.
"That looks like fun." said Homestar with a smile. He decided to try it.
Later, the gang watched as Wagashietchi skated right by laughing and acting like an idiot, nearly crashing a few times. Soon he was done and stopped by the others who were applauding for him.
"Thank you very much! Thank you! Than..." Wagashietchi was interrupted as Batterball rammed right into him.
Three party goers, all hanging onto each other like some of tower, skated by laughing. This caught Homestar's attention who looked amazed by it.
"Whoa!" said Homesilvis happily, and then he turned to Timmy.
"No way! You aren't making me do that!' protested Timmy.
"Come on, Timmy!" laughed Homesilvis as he grabbed Timmy and skated through the skating rink.
Mimi, Jewel, Amy, Yumemitchi, Kiraritchi, Daxter, Toro, Boxxy Boy, Bassy girl and the time shifters watched in amusement as Homesilvis rushed by quickly with Timmy was on top of him, while Timmy was at the top, screaming for his life.
Homesilvis laughed like an idiot as he rushed. Soon his ride ended when he crashed, Timmy falling into a barrel nearby.
"That was totally awesome!" Eldora laughed.
"That was so much fun!" Prumella said happliy.
Homesilvis chuckled, then he looked at Timmy who was climbing out of the barrel. Timmy glared at Homesilvis in annoyance.
"Fun, huh?" joked Homesilvis.
It was now time for Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly and the employees to leave. As they walked away, they waved goodbye to the party.
"Merry Christmas, guys!" said Wagashietchi waving.
"Merry Christmas!" said the time shifters, waving goodbye to them.
As Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak, Sly and their friends went on, the two boys continued his singing.
Jak: There's something in the wind today
That's good for everyone
"That's true." said Steve with a smile.
Sly: Yes, faith is in our hearts today
We're shining like the sun
Jak: And everyone can feel it
The feeling's running deep
"Merry Christmas. Mr. Runner and Cooper." said Worker as he, Minions left to go on home themselves for Christmas.
Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly: After all, there's only one more sleep till Christmas
"Merry Christmas!" said Minions as they continue leaving Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly to go on home.
Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly smiled as they looked up at the night sky. He concluded his singing.
Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly: After all, there's only one more sleep
Till Christmas Day
A shooting star rushes through the night sky saying, "Merry Christmas!"
Wagashietchi, Homestar, Jak and Sly looks surprised as they heard this. They looked kinda puzzled. They both then shrugged, turned, and headed on home themselves. They passed a shivering Mort who was trying to keep warm with the poster Strong Bad had tossed at him earlier.
