Chapter 1: All Fun Things Need To Begin Somewhere

Loosely based on real life events but any resemblance to an actual person is coincidental and in no way purposeful 

 

James lay on his bed as he counted how many seconds had passed since he last thought about how many seconds had passed. DOH. He has to start again. 

"I'll never get to a million if I keep this up. At least I have no other responsibilities to do now," James thought to himself,,,, errr, I mean James. 

At that moment Mick walked in. 

"Yo, James, you got the article in yet?" Mick asked 

James froze in his seat. He had told Mike that he'd work on it all night. So like the genius he was, he got cooking on excuses for why it wouldn't be in all night. "uuhhhh, ya abt that, see a group of sled dogs came racing in my room and said Santa needed my help or else All Hallow's Eve will be ruined." 

"Why would Santa have anything to do with Halloween? +5 points for knowing All Hallow's Eve though, impressed." 

"You see, ever since The Nightmare Before Christmas, Santa has had a bone to pick with Jack-o-lantern dude." 

"You mean Jack Skeleton?" 

"Nah, that doesn't sound right." 

"Sorry. I phrased that as a question, I'm saying you're thinking of Jack Skeleton. You really should see that movie, you're lacking culture." 

"Ya, you're right. I'll get on that." 

"Hey James?" 

"Ya?" 

"Get YOUR ARTICLE IN!!!!!!" 

"Ya I was hoping you'd have forgotten abt that." 

"Just at that moment a man wearing a red suit and a torn red hat with a white bob on the top ran in the door. 

"It's all over James, the gigs up!" said the mysterious red suit white bob man that we have absolutely no idea who it is as of right now. 

"Yo Santa, what's up." 

Nevermind, not going for the mysterious root, my bad. 

"It's the Easter Bunny. He heard all about us trading holidays for a year and got angry that no one chose Easter." 

"Now, if we don't stop if from reaching the North Pole, he'll take CHristmas forever." 

"Ooooh NOOO!" said James. "We can't have that, I'll go right now" 

"Wait," said Mick, "what about your paper. Your promised you'd get it in this time." 

"I will, I promise. It'll get done. Have I ever broken a promise to you?" 

Everyone looked up and though about 6 hours prior. 

"uuhhhh. The past is the past, who cares about it. I'll get it in, I promise," said James. 

James and Santa jumped out the window and landed on a sleigh parked below it. Then there was another thud and James looked back to see Mick. 

"If you're going to waste your time, then I'm going with you to ake sure you go through with your promise." 

"Fair enough." 

They zoomed off towards the North Pole.
