Chapter Text
A thick layer of gray clouds covered the dark sky. The clouds slowly released tiny, delicate snowflakes down to earth. They quickly turned the brown, barren landscape into a white, winter wonderland. Meanwhile, inside, a group of monsters and humans were crowded around a small fire, crackling with warmth. "Have you ever heard of Christmas?" Johnny asked.
"I have," Ericka said, "but I've never celebrated it."
"Well what is it?" Griffin asked.
"It's a holiday where you give each other gifts." Johnny explained.
"Isn't that called 'Thanksgiving?'" Frank asked.
"No...Thanksgiving is when you say what your thankful for." Johnny explained some more.
"Ooooh," Frank exclaimed, "got it."
"So do you want to celebrate it?" Johnny asked.
"What do you mean by 'celebrate' it? We haven't celebrated it in our entire lives." Drac pointed out.
"Don't worry, I can help," Johnny said, "I've done It before so i know what to do."
"Comforting." Drac grumbled in a sarcastic tone.
"Do you guys want to do it?" Johnny asked.
"YEAH!" They all cheered, except Drac.
"Come on," Ericka cooed in a sweet voice, "do it for me?" He looked hesitant. He KNEW he couldn't say no to her.
He let out a defeated sigh, "All right fine, what's first?"
"Alright!" Johnny yipped, "first we should play a little game to see how well we know each other."
"What's it called?" Mavis asked.
"It's called Secret Santa!" Johnny said.
"But I thought it was Santa who brought the presents." Dennis pointed out.
"He does," Johnny said, "but in this game, everyone picks a name and whoever you get, you have to get a gift for them. And you can't tell ANYBODY who you're Secret Santaing for."
"It's like a mystery basically." Ericka thought out loud.
"Basically," Johnny said, "but nobody is getting killed, or robbed."
"When do we get started?" Frank asked.
"Right now!" Johnny said, getting up, "I'm going to get some paper and a bucket!"
(Five minutes later)
Johnny had put everybody's name on a slip of paper and put it into the small bucket. "Everybody pick one." Johnny instructed. They all picked one and looked at who they got:
CHART:
Mavis has Frank
Wanda has Griffin
Crystal has Johnny
Van Helsing has Eunice (not sure how her name is spelled)
Eunice has Wayne
Dennis has Murray
Johnny has Dennis
Wayne has Mavis
Griffin has Wanda
Murray has Crystal
Frank has Van Helsing
Dracula has ..... -blank for reasons-
Ericka has Dracula (how ironic)
"This is going to be a breeze!" Griffin exclaimed, looking at his slip of paper. Ericka was just staring at her slip speechlessly.
"Who'd you get?" Drac asked, trying to peak at her slip. She folded it so he couldn't see it. She let out a relieved sigh.
"What? what is it?" He asked with a concerned look.
"This is going to be easier than I thought." She whispered, a small smile forming on her face. He looked at his slip and was instantly confused.
"Ummm... MY SLIP IS BLANK!!!" He yelled to Johnny. Johnny walked over to him and looked at his slip.
"Weird," Johnny said, "I'm positive that I wrote on every slip."
"What do I do?" He asked.
"You could just get something for Ericka." Johnny suggested Drac looked over at Ericka who was jotting something down on a notepad.
"I guess that could work." He said, scooting closer to her until their sides touched. She felt it and turned her head to look at him. He looked her straight in the eyes and cocked his eyebrows. She chuckled lightly. He tried to tug her closer, but Johnny stopped him, there are little kids in the room. He mouthed. Drac looked mad, but slowly let go of Ericka's sleeve. They all slowly got up and departed to their room after that, all wondering what they are going to get as gifts.
