TANANDARIA SEASON TWELVE
_______________

The First Ever Tanandaria Christmas Special:

(The cave of bad fiction common area, a large artificial tree dyed red, pink, purple, blue, and green in stripes is set up in the middle of the room and there is a huge pile of presents under it. Everyone is standing around and drinking hot cocoa. Kristen keeps stealing other peoples’ when they aren’t looking. Kevo bounces through the room wearing a Santa cap. Ranger Thorne dives under the tree. Taryn rolls her eyes and picks Kevo up gently.)
Taryn: I don’t know why you’re so scared my little Kevo wouldn’t hurt anybody. Isn’t that right Kevo? (Kevo purrs sweetly) You see?
(Taryn holds Kevo out to Ranger. Kevo starts growling, spitting, and biting at the air. Ranger dives back under the tree.)
Taryn: (she shrugs) Whatever. It’s time to open presents.
Tananda: Presents!
Woot: And eat candy canes!
Tananda: Candy canes!
Cimorene: One question though…
Beth: How many roads must a man walk down?
Cimorene: No, a real question.
Beth: (crossing her arms) That’s no fun.
Mahna: What is it?
Cimorene: Why are we celebrating today, it’s only the 23rd.
Scarlett: Well, everybody celebrates on the 25th; it’s the normal thing to do.
Cimorene: (confused) Yeah that was my point.
Mahna: When have you ever known us to be normal?
Tananda: We decided to be original and have Christmas two days early.
Beth: Yeah, this way we beat the holiday rush.
Veldrin: But what about Santa?
Beth: Huh?
Veldrin: Santa, how did Santa know to deliver our gifts early?
(The IUF huddle together.)
Taryn: (shocked) He doesn’t know.
Mahna: Should we tell him the truth?
Scarlett: The truth about what?
Tananda: Take that tiara off for a second and pay attention. The truth about Santa.
Beth: Let me tell him, he’s my corridormate.
(They break the huddle and turn around.)
Beth: Veldrin, honey, sweet little head newbie of the blue corridor, naïve, clown fearing Veldrin
(Tananda pokes her in the ribs)
Tananda: Quit stalling.
Beth: O.k. O.k. Veldrin, the truth about Santa is….I really hate to tell you this ….he knew to deliver our presents early because he’s been spying on us.
Mahna: (scared) He knows when we are sleeping.
Scarlett: (likewise) He knows when we’re awake.
Taryn: (eyes darting around nervously) He knows when we’ve been bad or good.
Tananda: (warning, take heed, tone) So you had better be good for goodness sakes!
(The IUF shudder.)
Kristen: Whoa, I never thought about it that way.
(There’s a moment’s silence.)
Tananda: Presents!
(She attacks the pile of gifts)
Beth: (shrugs) I’m going in.
(She joins in the present opening)
Taryn: Dive, dive
(You get the idea; eventually everyone joins in the mad rush. There are sweaters, Jell-O, CDs, forkpitches, penguins, gift certificates, shipper posters, I Hate Tom shirts, shrines, I Love Tom shirts, and many other gifts both normal and Tanandarite galore. Kristen gets a ten-pound bar of chocolate. After the dust clears though…)
Krysten: (quietly) I didn’t get a gift.
Darkwing: Me neither.
Suitcase Nuke: Not even a candy cane from Woot.
Tananda: How can that be there were several presents for everyone there this morning.
Taryn: You know maybe Kevo and I should go and…um…bake some turkey tacos and pir for Christmas dinner.
Scarlett: What did you do?
Taryn: It was an accident. Kevo got out of his cage and well…by the time I caught up with him…he had already eaten seven packages. (She points at Mahna) This is all Mahna’s fault!
Mahna: Oh no you don’t! You can’t pin this on me! Your little monster is always causing trouble!
Taryn: How dare you call Kevo a monster.
Ranger: Yeah, he’s much more of a devil.
Taryn: Oh shut up!
Beth: Don’t tell Ranger to shut up!
(The cave dissolves in a haze of shouting, poking, jabbing, and stabbing. Scarlett stands in front of it all with a smile on her face.)
Scarlett: Don’t you just love how the holidays bring people closer together? (she is tackled by Tananda, from the ground)Merry December 23rd to all and to all a good night!

Beth: Die! Die, you demonic doll! (She whirls around and face Tananda) How could you let furbies in here? Don’t you know they’ll kill us all if they have a chance? (she goes back to beating the ground with her bat)

Besides that, a new superhero has been formed.

Beth: When I first saw this topic I thought it said spontanious mouse. it wasn't until after I read the story and decided to look at the topic name again after wondering what the story had to do with a mouse I saw it was muse.
Taryn: Spontanious Mouse.. hee hee
Mahna: 'Spontanious Mouse' sounds like a bad superhero cartoon.

*****
"You'll never catch me, Spontanious Mouse!" said Procrastinating Cat wickedly. "Now to make my escape.... eventually!"
But before he could, he was whacked on the head by our hero.... Spontanious Mouse!
"Wow!" said Quick Chick, SM's sidekick. "That must've taken hours of planning!"
"No! It was...." pause for dun dun nun NUN! music..."...spontanious!"

*****
Mahna: (pause) I need a blue pill. And/or a straightjacket.

Nomad rushed down corridor green as fast as he could.
"wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
"Hey! watch it." League barly jumped out of the way in time
"SOOOoooooryeeeeeee.,,,,,"
"Wonder what's with him." he muttered,brushing himself off.
"Hi puppy"
"Hi Scarlett." ....."What brings you to the green area?"
"No reason"
"oh"
They both left in opposite directions.
_______________

He sat back, momentarily pacified by a fresh sliced strawberry and WildBerry PopTart taco (with powdered suger^^) and watched the great migration to the new corridor.
which wasn't really all that great since it was only, what 3 or 4 people? but ANYway, after the ceremonial cherrybombs ignighted in the lavotories, the festivities commenced.
but that was almost half an hour ago. He pirked up as the n00bs were being forced into particibating in the glitterberry relays, too bad his camera was broken this should be fun for future type events.
Taryn mached up to him, "Hey! You were supposed to be one of the migratrants! I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME!! *sobs* why can't the supporting cast just do as we command? why!? They are supposed to be SUPPORTING!"
"Cuz it's not as fun that way? 'sides I did move see!" They went to his new room Which was empty save for a sloppily painted SmileyBomb on the floor and a large hole in the back wall (which arguably made it emptier). They looked in.
"That doesn't count as moving." she said, trying to sound cross.
"come on, it took like all afternoon to burrow from my old room."
"You said no more tunneling"
"Well it was a hell of a lot easier then moving the tree house."
"But-"
"NOMAD!" Brandon poked his head around the corner, "Have you seen Scarlett latley? She was in corridor green earlier , but now I can't seem to find her anywhere... OH! Tayrn! You have a walkie talkie now right?"
Taryn went all chibi and produced the device. Once all the light and vector rendered images cleared away they tried to raise Scarlett's frequency. But there was no responce.
"What did you want her for anyway?" Nomad asked Brandon.
"I wanted some muffins."
"I have anouther breakfast taco"
"No thanks I'm in a muffiny kind off mood."
"O I C"
"um guys?" Taryn edged her way in, "Why not just go to the kitcheon?"
AND SO THEY DID!
yummy
