Jeannie and Dire: The Christmas Special! [Issue #4]

"Toys... What are you five?"
He blinked his green eyes before smiling again.
"Toy store it is!"

Mr. Cuddles was going crazy at Dire, barking and growling at him the whole time throughout the store. Trying to attack him.
All Dire seemed to do was shoot the dog dirty looks as he stuffed more toys into the shopping cart.
"Oh, look at that!"
He said pointing at a toy, putting it into the cart.

After the spree, he propped up a finger.
"I know! We should go see Santa!"

5 no Jeannie is 18, or 19 since my birthday is Christmas but then I don't get old so not sure if it counts I have parties anyway though she happily adds toy to the cart
she looked at the toy he pointed out yay that looks fun


huh maybe we should take Mr. cuddles home,
he might want naptime or something, he's usually so friendly with everybody. jeannie couldn't figure it out why the puppy was barking and stuff.yay santa I love Santa Claus lets go see him!

After teleporting the two to the North Pole, leaving Mr. Cuddles in their car, he dropped them right in front of the entrance. The more Dire did things, the sicker he looked. His face was almost pale and it looked like he was turning into a skeleton, yet he still looked so joyful.
"Well... Here we are!"
He opened the door to see the place... Not as active as it should be on Christmas.
No elves were around, it was just Santa.
Standing there in front of another door.
Just as the grand doors opened, he slammed the door he was standing in front of shut.
He stared at the two for a solid five seconds before registering.
"OOOH HO HO HO! Dire and Jeannie! What a wonderful surprise!"
He said suddenly, startling Dire.
He came over and hugged them both.
"It's wonderful to see you both! What brings you two here, might I ask?"

yay Santa! Jeannie smiles when he hugs them. we cam to vist you!

"We-he-he-hell shiit. If Jeannie is here to see me, then I guess she'll just have to visit me then, huh?!"
Santa kept elbowing Dire until Dire answered back with a kick to the shin.

At that, Santa led the two through the door that he just slammed shut.
Through the crack, you could see what was inside.

Someone that looked a lot like Dire was laying on a metal table trying to pull off leather straps. There was some.... Thing with it's hand on his temple.
The thing was tall and lanky with a strange white and papery skin, it's face was strangely twisted and demented. Santa was on another table across from Dire with the same type of creature holding his temples.

The Santa that was leading Dire and Jeannie turned around.
"OH HO HO, NO! Prolly shouldn't go in there."

The Dire that was with Jeannie's voice sounded a bit raspier, "Yeah, didn't look too important anyway..."

huh? yikes, Santa and dire how are you guys here and there, those where some weird looking elves. Jeannie was kinda confused huh oh are you making like a helper Santa to give more gifts?

Santa looked extremely nervous as he was pushing the two out, while Dire was not putting up any fight.
"Oh... Um... No. Yes! I mean... Sure." He said, sweat rolling down his face. His skin seemed to melt and smear along with the sweat.

Dire groaned and shook his head.
"Amateur..."

Suddenly, Dire from on the table reached out and threw the monster across the room.
"Jeannie, that's not me your standing next to!!!!" He said, trying to find some kind of weapon.

The Dire standing next to Jeannie's skin had almost completely melted and looked rubbery. Under the rubber-like look, you could see what looked like the mouth of the creature Dire just threw.
"GAH! If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!"
The creature ripped off the replica of Dire's skin and reached out to grab Jeannie, as well as the Santa creature.

ewww gross your a melty alien thingy, huh I hope space alien's credit cards work on earth I really want to keep my gifts. huh well maybe if he took dire's face he took his credit cards too then it be ok. hey, what are you doing over there were supposed to be doing Christmas stuff? not wanting to get touched by the slimy monster

she runs and hides behind the table with dire.

Dire looked and Jeannie and smiled with a pipe in hand.
”Yeah, well. An alien wanted to eat my life energy to become human...”
He stood up, smacking the alien in the head before coming back down.
”Little did they know, they couldn’t absorb me all the way. Something about demonic abilities or... Um... Maybe AIDS?”
He caught the alien and threw it to the floor.
”No, I forgot. I can’t get AIDS.”

He lined up the shot on the alien in a perfect golf stance.
”Fooouuur!”
He hit the alien as it rolled back towards the wall.
Suddenly, one of the others pounced him.

The other one that was impersonating Santa began to attack Jeannie.

oh ok then huh silly aliens, yikes no Santa Jeannie was good this year she runs from the monster Santa,oh yeah need to save Christmas, plus not saving Santa would get you on the naughty list she gets the real Santa free from the table and takes him with her to hide from the aliens
