It's Christmas time in Orre! Although we're definitely not gonna get a White Christmas, everyone, even the Shadow Trainers, is getting ready for the holidays.

Additionally, Christmas is a romantic season as well. Who knows, we might have some couples by the New Year!

What will happen in this great season of joy?

Plots:

~Heroes
-Dr. Lehrer, being the rich doctor that he is, has rented an entire hotel to be decorated for a Christmas party. Who knows what insanity will occur?

~Shadows and Midnights:
-Everybody's working on making the headquarters spiffed up in time for Christmas. Make it sparkle, guys!

Members:

You know who you are.

((WOW. That was a quick response! Anywho I hath decided. Is it like this?))

"Hey, People, It's Christmas Time, everybody!" Dr. Lehrer yelled, "Let's prolong the adventure, at least a few days so that we can decorate and party!" He then ran out of the room, spoke to the manager for a minute, and then ran back into the room. "I just spoke to the manager! Nobody is booking here all week because they're all going out of the region with family! I paid in advance and rented the whole place out for the season!" he was very exited. "Let's get started with decorating for a Christmas party!"
 
The first one to look up and grin was Zora. He'd said Christmas, so it had to be good. She rubbed her hands together gingerly, rising from her seat. She'd written her parents the night before, but they'd said they were vacationing and hadn't said where. So she didn't have to be anywhere, which meant she got to decorate, which would be far more fun than spending the whole time with her old-as-hell aunt Summer who hadn't had a date in 30 years and wouldn't stop complaining about it.

"Yes!" she exclaimed, "I love this time of year!"

Mia blinked up at her cousin. She sure seemed excited about something. Christmas, even for this depressed Shadow Trainer, brought a smile to her face. One of the only things that could, as a matter of fact.

"I think my aunt back in Pyrite has a bunch of decorations she never uses that she used to sell... I think she'd let us borrow some if someone would give me a ride..."
 
Luc's Nidoking lugged in a tree, which stood almost 7 feet tall, into the common area before the hallway leading to Luc and Reki's offices.
"In the corner.", Luc said, indicating the corner.
Nidoking plopped the tree down.
"Sir, you forgot the water.", Reki pointed out, indicating the device that would hold the tree up and keep it wet.
"Right. Get that."
Reki did so. Nidoking lifted up the tree and placed it inside, locking the tree in place.
"Alright, the decorations are in the storage closet. I expect the lights up by the time I get back.", Luc ordered.
"Get back from what?", Reki retorted.
"Eggnog. Need it.", Luc replied as he walked off to get some, recalling Nidoking in the process.
With a sigh, Reki replied, "I'll try my best."
"Pika pika?", Reki's Pikachu questioned.
"Lights. In the closet.", Reki replied.
"Pika pika!", Pikachu replied.
Reki opened the storage closet door, and the lights were tucked away in a tangled mess in the corner. He yanked them out, tossed the mess on the floor, and began untangling, Pikachu helping. He looked over at the radiator, Luc's Umbreon and Pichu were curled up next to it.
"A fireplace would be nice...", Reki said to nobody in particular.
"Pikachu~.", Pikachu agreed.
 
"I'm back, Luc-" began Serenity as she dashed inside. Instantly, she spotted the gigantic Christmas tree in the corner. After investigating, she muttered, "We could have gotten a fake tree. But no."
 
"Yep. Took us about an hour to pick it. You know how he operates.", Reki remarked, "Do you mind helping us string these lights up?", he added, now nearly done with untangling the lights.
 
Somon danced around while Kalick flitted about, scattering harmless snow-like dust with his wings. "Merry Christmas, everybody!"
 
Reki looked around, at everybody, then looked up at the tree.
"You know, I'm not really sure how we're supposed to get the lights up there.", he said.
"You're lucky we're not actually on the job here.", a voice, Luc's, said suddenly.
"Well it should've been perfectly clear to you that there's nobody tall here.", Reki replied, only slightly taken aback.
Luc sent out Aggron, filling up the room, who went to work throwing the lights onto the tree.
Between sips of eggnog, Luc continued, "So what else do we put on this thing? Ornament bulbs? Something to put on top of the tree?"
"Got all that right here.", Reki replied.
"Good, get it up after Aggron gets done with the lights."
"What are you going to do?"
Pichu leapt into Luc's arms, "Take a break."
"Pichu pi!", Pichu agreed.
 
((Time for my epic entry post.))

"Hmmm . . . at least wait until Christmas is over to do that." Blade said. Crystal wasn't sure what he meant, so she asked, "And when is that?"
"Apparently it's tommorow."
"Isn't it the middle of June?"
"Last time I checked, yes."
"What's going on here, then?"
"I don't know."
 
"No, you fools! It's December 24th!!" Zora cried, throwing a Poke Ball to the floor. The Glaceon that appeared looked at her questioningly.

"Frost, Powder Snow! Make this place a winter wonderland! I'm going out to get a tree! And... NOG!! WE NEED NOG!!" before anyone could question, the redhead rocketted out the door. Mia groaned, watching the Glaceon make it snow in the building. And he was doing a good job of it.
 
"I'm sorry I can't be of more help," Maelle lamented. "Prince, just use Bubble to add some fun."

A few little round spheres floated through, one with the Piplup inside.
 
"It's the 24th! We need to hurry up if we're gonna make this happen! Come on, I'll go get some of those decorations in Pyrite town. Come with me!" Dr. Lehrer said.
 
Mia rose from her seat slowly.

"I know where the house is. I'll guide you there!" she cried, pointing toward the door and grinning. A very rare thing, and for a second, her eyes flickered back to the amber they used to be. It almost seemed as if her heart was opening.
