J! Wake up! It's Christmas Eve!

Huh? Wha? ????????? Go away! Let me sleep.

Come on, get up! I'm so excited!

Did I get my ep put up yet?

Uhhh, no, I don't think so.

Then it ain't Christmas for me.

( goes back to sleep)

Huh? Get up!!!!!!

Go away!!

I'm too excited, it's almost Christmas.

Errr. OK, OK, OK. If I tell you a story will you calm down?

OK. Yay! A story!

Oh, brother.

Hey, look everyone, J is gonna tell a story.

(Everyone in BOTVGH Island crowds around )

Are you guys always like this, or is this just something special for my Christmas ep?

(while counting money) Uhhhh, we didn't get paid nothing for acting stupid like this.

(slapping his head) Mommamia!

*sigh* All right, the sooner I finish this, the sooner I can go to bed.

Didn't you already sleep 17 hours?

That...................... has nothing to do with the point.

But I thought.........

Do you want to hear the story or not?

Oh, all right.

Now, can I tell the story?

Everyone: TELL THE STORY ALREADY!!!!!!

...................... You're the ones who interrupted me.

( grabs a book marked BOTVGH stories)

Let's see..... Kirby's Gone Mental, no. Quest to Save the Past, no. Ah! Here we go, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas (BOTVGH version). I'll start reading........

'Twas the night before Christmas, when in BOTVGH island
Not a villain was stirring, not even a Master Hand;

I resent that.

But where at?

Why are you talking in rhyme?

Because I have the time.

Idiot.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

Not if I capture him and ruin Christmas.

You said I was going to get another turn this year.

Mwahahahaha! And you believed me?

Why you!

( start fighting)

The Authors were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

Candy!!!

Cake!!!

Martin Smith: Cookies!!!!

Egg nog!....... And a little whiskey.

Uhhhhhhh, sugar plums?

And Peach in her 'kerchief, and Mario in his cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

I didn't know we were married.

We aren't, it's just a story!

Oh.

Didn't I say no interruptions?

No.

OK......... Well, back to the story.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
Mario sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Quick, Peach. It might be Dr. Wily tryin' to take over the archive.

Is that all you can think about?

Well....... yeah.

Away to the window Mario flew like a flash,

Hehe! I'm that fast.

It was only six feet.

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

I got a few Bob-ombs. Come and get it!

The moon on the top of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

Hey! The weather report said no snow.

When, what to Mario's wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

Bah! Looks like dogs to me.

How did you get here?

I'm in every ep, Jumpman. Face it.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
Mario knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

Hmmmm, or is it Cartman?

I'm right here you ********!

Oh, never mind then.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

Such mean treatment to these reindeer.

Back in my day, we didn't need reindeer to fly.

Shut up Cranky!

"Now, DASH-bot! now, DANCE-bot! now, PRANCE-bot and VIXE-bot!
On, COME-bot! on CUP-bot! on, DONDE-bot and BLITZE-bot!

What? No Rude-bot?

Bot? That must be Dr. Wily! We better be on the look-out.

(, and  go up to the look-out)

OK, why are we up here?

Uhhh, because we are, now be quiet.

To the top of the porch! To crash into the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

(The reindeer are not that stupid)

Nuts. Why do I have to be Santa?

Mysterious elf: Because you're fat, now ride.

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

Woohoo! I love riding Santa's sleigh, it's fun!

And then, in a twinkling, Mario heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

So I got off the look-out, big deal.

As Mario drew in his hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Wario came with a bound.

Ow! I hate chimneys.

Back in my day, we had short stories for Christmas. not like these newfangled long stories.

Crank, the original story to this is almost 350 years old.

About as old as you Cranky.

Oh, then continue with the story.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

I need a bath.

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

Hey! I'm no peddler! What's a peddler?!

His eyes -- how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

I shouidn't have messed with that make up today.

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

This Santa mask is making me itch.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;

Wait a minute, Santa smoked?

It was an old habit. I think he's taking the patch now.

He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.

Man, am I fat. I need to get to a gym next summer.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And Mario laughed when he saw him, in spite of himself;

Hahaha! Wario looks like such an dumbo.

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave Mario to know he had nothing to dread;

Yeah right! Let's get him gang!

( and  jump at , while  just rocks in his rocker)

AHHHH! Help!

(The mysterious elf comes down)

Mysterious Elf: All right, let the fat man go!

It must be Dr. Wily! I'll get him!

Mysterious Elf: Huh? Wha?

( jumps at the mysterious elf)

Mysterious Elf: Hey! Get off! I'm not Dr. Wily!

Huh? Then who are you?

(The mysterious elf reveals himself to be )

Mega Man? Why are you tryin' to destroy Christmas?

I'm not. Dr. Wily and Master Hand kidnapped Santa and his reindeer. Dr. Light sent me and Wario out to save Christmas. He also supplied us with reindeer-bots.

We have to go save Santa then.

Don't worry, we have Cow King working on that.

(Meanwhile at 's castle........)

(s are faling everywhere)

We gave back Santa and the reindeer!!

So make it stop! Make it stop!!!!!!

Hehehe! I love my job.

(Back with the gang)

OK, Peach, Toad, you can stop beating on Wario now, he's on our side.

We've known that for a while now. We just kept beating him up over how stupid he was.

Good point.

They spoke a few words, then went straight to their work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney they rose;

Neat trick, that would be great for parties.

They sprang to their sleigh, to their team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But Mario heard them exclaim, ere they drove out of sight,
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-BOTVGH-NIGHT!"

...............The end.

(Everyone is asleep)

Oh, such enthusiasm. I guess I might as well end this ep.
