(Hell-o lov-elies, Marion here! Good news! You ready?

I am going to make a Christmas special chapter for every story, starting with this one! Well, almost every story.

I won't be doing them for WeAreTheWorst which is a roleplay and I Swear I'm Normal which is on hold. ((tbh, I was thinking of deleting it)).

I'll be doing multiple in one day. In fact I might update at least 2 stories for at least one of the days. Which means this'll take 3-4 days. ((don't judge me, if you're a writer, you know this takes long)).

P.S. You'd know this information if you read my conversation feed, I posted it not too long ago. FOLLOW ME TO GET HEADS UPS!

P.P.S. I'm too effin tired to edit this. If you see a mistake, please tell me so I can fix it. Thanks!)

You walk into work, immediately bombarded with many hugs. Literally and guard is hugging you. "MERRY CHRISTMAS," they all shout. You laugh, happy to be cared about.

"Glad you guys are happy today, but can you please let me go, I...can't......breath!" You squeak out. They all stop, laughing again. Everyone runs to the dinning room, letting out screams of pure joy. You marvel at the sight, this place is decked out!

Banners hang from the ceiling, every kid has a Christmas hat on, Fritz is dressed up as Santa, and just Christmas decorations as far as the eye can see. You gasp at the sight, you've never seen the pizzeria so lively before. Even the animatronics are dressed up. Heck, there's even a Christmas tree!

Boss walks up to you, "ah, (y/n), you're finally here!" he walks up to you and you hug him. "Today is meant to be a fun day, so feel free to do whatever, just don't forget you're at work, okay?" You nod. "Also," he says, "we're going to be doing secret Santa, remember? I hope you brought a gift."

"Yeah yeah," you roll your eyes playfully, "I got your text." You hold up a small box, containing a gift. The way things are going to work is you get a present to bring to work, then you pick a random name and whosoever you pick gets the gift you brought, or so Boss had explained.

What you have brought, well, I'm not going to tell you cause I'm a troll XP

Boss pats you on the back, motioning you to go forward and play. You smiles at him and run toward a group of children playing a game. You greet them, "hi guys, I'm (y/n), what're you playing?"

The tallest one smiles at you, "hi (y/n), Merry Christmas! We're playing deadman." He points to the child laying on the ground with her eyes closed, "She's a zombie, or the deadman, and she has to walk around the room to find us, except she has to do it with her eyes closed." You nod, showing you understand. "But first," he stands up, "we have to do the ritual."

The other children stand up as well, beginning to walk around the child, chanting words, "deadman, deadman, come alive. Come alive when I count to five." At this point you join them, getting into the rhythm of thing. "One, two, three, four, five!" All the children laugh and scream, dispersing from the center as the girl hesitantly sits up and holds out her arms.

You realize how to play in a matter of seconds. "Over here," you run around the other side of her. She swings at you and you scream, before covering your mouth. The other children follow your lead, screaming and laughing whenever she got close to them. Then it gets quiet. She pouts and puts her hands on her hips, "you guys are cheating. You have to make sounds, ya know!"

"Okay, then come find- AH!" you begin to say, but are cut off when she swipes at your stomach and touches you, "no!" you say out of joy and defeat. She opens her eyes and laughs.

"You're the deadman this time!" she points to you. You roll your eyes and lay on the floor, closing your eyes. You hear their small voices all around you, chanting the same words. You anticipate, waiting till they get to the number five. As soon as you do, you pop up, scaring the small children and sending them screaming in all directions.

They laugh as you reach out for them, but you find yourself not trusting them to keep you safe. It's like you think everywhere they lead you, you'll run into a table or something. Because of this, you don't move a lot.

Then it gets quiet. You realize you look like an idiot, flailing your arms around, trying to come into contact with a person. After a minute of doing this, you pout and put your hands on your hips, just like the small girl. "Guys, not fair!" you say. Then you open your eyes and are met with small gift.

Marion pulls away. "Surprise!" he says, smiling like an idiot. You blush as the children all giggle and gag at the sight of you two. "Eww!" say several of them. You laugh out loud, you didn't exactly like seeing people kissing as a kid either.

"Don't do that again, or your face gets bashed in!" you threaten him, smiling. He laughs, ruffling your hair playfully. You giggle too, motioning for the children to go off and play.

"Come meet us again, (y/n), we want to play with you more!" they say.

"I'll make sure to. You guys go have fun now though, I need to have a talk with this idiot." You point at the Puppet. He sticks his tongue out playfully. The children laugh and run away to a different part of the pizzeria to finish their game.

"Merry Christmas!" he says, kissing you again. You kiss back this time and smile.

"Shouldn't you be working? I mean, this is your job too ya know."

"Hey, I have two reasons not to care. One, I never chose this job but I have no choice but to do it, and two...I asked Boss for a break." He smiles with his tongue out this time. What an idiot!

"Oh yeah, I forgot he knew you guys could be humans. Okay, I guess it makes sense. You have your alibi, pretty boy. Now scram!" You smile to show you're joking.

"Did you just call me pretty?~" You blush and shake your head vigorously. He chuckles smoothly and nods.

"Ugh, whatever! Anyway, what to do now?"

"Well, have you ever actually seen the animatronics' show?"

"No, but-"

"Then let's go!" he grabs your arm before you can finish and you run over to a table in front of the stage. Many children laugh and talk to each other, waiting for the animatronics to come out and entertain them.

You look around nervously, you look like an idiot sitting amongst a sea of smaller children. But then you just look at the Marionette and you feel better.

After about 2 minutes, the curtains part and show the three happy, Christmas themed robots, the stars of the show. All the children scream and cheer, happy of the new change.

"Hi there kids! Are you ready for Toy Freddy?" says the cheery Santa bear. The children cheer again, many "yeses" from all around. You smile and decide to play along.

"I am!" you shout. The Marionette laughs at you, in fact he almost falls over. You scowl happily and push him onto the floor. The children nearby who were watching laugh at your silly antics.

"Looks like two of our hard working employees have joined us, Freddy," says Toy Bonnie.

"I think you're right, Bonnie. Let's have them come up for a special kind of show!" He leads you and Mari onto the stage, the children clap and cheer. You blush and smile and wave at them.

"Hey, (y/n), do some comedy for us with your boyfriend here," Fred says. He nudges you slyly and you roll your eyes.

"Oh please, Toy Freddy, it's not an act," you push Mari onto the ground, making all the children laugh, "we really do hate each other."

~

You and the Marionette do more jokes and acts while everyone watches. And by everyone, I mean everyone. All the guards and even the Toys were in the audience. Heck, even Boss was watching. No kids were eating pizza, playing arcade games, or anything else. All the adults were watching too. Man, you sure are popular!

As soon as it turns 5 o'clock, the Boss announces it's time to close. All the children whine and scream, not wanting to go home. After another half hour, all the children were finally torn from the seats and chairs and taken home, which was harder than you think. One kid even threatened that you would have to "pry it from my cold dead hands" 0.0

You and Mari sit down and drink some Egg Nog, that show was more tiring than you would think it to be. Just think of being one those comedians that talk for hours, but without the water to drink and more face-planting and being elbowed in the stomach by your insane girlfriend. XD

You and Mari joke about the whole act, laughing your ass off whenever talking about an extremely funny part. Then Fritz walks up.

"Sup Santa," you greet him. He rolls his eyes.

"We're going to be doing secret Santa now, let's go to the meeting room." You guys nod and follow him. The pizzeria is quiet and empty, not to mention the darkness. But at least it's not the night shift, which no one is doing tonight.

You walk into the meeting room where everyone is talking and laughing, just having a jolly old time. You sit down and the Boss claps his hands, "okay then, who wants to go first?"

"I will!" shouts Fritz. He dips his hand into the box full of random names, and picks one up. "Vincent," he says. Vincent smiles softly as Fritz hands him the box. "I was hoping I'd get you," says Fritz happily. Vincent softly chuckles. You furrow your eyebrows. Ever since Vincent woke up, he hasn't been the same. You think he has insomnia again, there are huge bags under his eyes.

He opens the box and his eyes light up. "Oh Fritz, it's wonderful!" he picks up something from the box and holds it up. It's a small book with blank pages. Which makes sense, you guess. Something the Vince never talks about is he loves to write. Vincent stands up and hugs Fritz, "thanks, buddy, I swear I'll write in it everyday!"

Everyone coos as they both pull away. Vincent blushes and Fritz scoffs and rolls his eyes playfully. "I'm n-next!" shouts Jeremy. He walks toward the box and reaches inside, pulling out another name. "I got...Scott!" he smiles and grabs the box that he brought with him today. "I'm n-not sure y-you'll like it, b-but if y-you don't I'm s-sure someone w-would be willing t-to t-trade."

Scott gets curious. He takes the box from Jeremy and it all of a sudden jumps in his grasp. He twitches, but doesn't drop it. He slowly takes off the cover, then pulls out the tissue paper. "OH MY GOSH JEREMY YOU DID NOT!" his mouth hangs open as he stares at what's inside.

We all stand up, trying to see what it is that's so surprising. Jeremy blushes and giggles, "s-surprise!" Scott lifts up the gift, which is a small mewing creature no bigger than one of his hands, wrapped with a red Christmas bow. "I g-got y-you a c-cat!" says Jeremy.

Scott calms down and begins to cradle the cute creature, all of us awwing at the adorable sight. "Thanks Jere, this is an amazing gift!" Scott turns to Jeremy and says. Jeremy smiles more and waves his arm, as if to say "forget about it".

"Ooh, can I go next?" asks Mike. Boss nods and Mike fist pumps the air. He reaches into the box and pulls out another name. "I got Jeremy!" he runs to pick up the box and hands it to his best friend. You blush and giggle at Mike's excitedness, you ship them so much. Jeremy opens the box and grows a wide smile.

"Th-thanks Mike! I'll keep it forever!" he pulls out a small accessory, so small, in fact, that you guys can't see what it is.

"Um, what is it?" you ask him.

"I-it's a necklace! It has a l-little C-Christmas present on it that says 'b-bff'! I-I love it!" he hugs Mike who helps him put on the small item. You smile extremely wide, that was really considerate.

"Okay then, I guess I'm giving the gift," says Scott. He lays the small cat on the table, it's sleeping now, and brings Fritz his gift. Fritz opens the gift and smiles.

"Aww, good ole' Scott, you give the best gifts!"

"No I don't, I mean, what if you didn't like art? That'd be a problem, wouldn't it."

Fritz pulls out a big notepad and a bag full or paintbrushes of different types and sizes. Along with several paints, color pencils, markers, crayons, and pencils. Man, Scott really went all out.

"Scott, I don't think anyone here doesn't like creating stuff. I mean, look at Vincent," Fritz points at his purple friend. Vincent blushes, he looks like he wants to sink into the ground and disappear. "That bastard is a fucking genius with a pencil and paper!"

"Um guys," you interrupt, "that's great and all but, you skipped me."

"Ah yes, give Mike his gift then," says Boss. You roll your eyes and give Mike your box. It's a book full of memories. No, not a scrapbook, a quote book.

Mike laughs as soon as he opens it. "Oh my god, I remember this! (y/n), you made a book of pizzeria memories? That's amazing!" he flips through the pages, looking through all the good times they had. You laugh, he's gonna have fun with that book, there's over 200 pages.

"Okay," you turn to Vincent, "I guess you're giving me my present?"

But he shakes his head, "we're all giving you your present." Just then Mike and Scott walk out, only to return with a box being dragged across the floor. It's huge, almost as big as you.

"(y/n), this is a little something from everyone, to you. We wanted to welcome you to the pizzeria, since this is your first Christmas here, and to do that we got you something special." Vincent smiles to introduce the gift.

"Oh please, Vinny, we all know that this was your idea," Fritz speaks up. Vincent blushes again, but tries not to show it.

"Um, enough talking," he rushes out, "open the present!"

You walk up to it, what could it be? It's huge, big enough to fit a person. You approach it cautiously, laying your hand on it gently. You tilt your head, it's not even wrapped, it's just painted to look like a present-

"TAH DAH!" the Marionette jumps out, surprising you three quarters to death. You take deep breaths, that might've been the loudest scream ever taken from your lungs and vocal cords. There's no way you'll have a voice tomorrow. The Puppet grabs your shirt, holding you close, "Merry Christmas!"

"Dude, what was that for?!" you yell at him, he flinches, but doesn't let go.

"Isn't it obvious?" he wiggles his head happily. That's when you notice a red box tied to his head.

"No," you reply. He stares at you like you're an idiot. Then he smiles again.

"I'm your present! In other words, Boss! Tell 'em." you turn towards Boss, who's smiling happily as well.

"(y/n), today you get to take the Puppet home! And keep him there, for 2 weeks! He's your property till then." Your jaw drops, you really get to keep an animatronic for 2 weeks? The Puppet of all things!

He turns you back around and kisses you, "Love ya, sweetie! So, when do we get to go? I can't wait to sleep in your bed with permission this time!"

(Best gift ever, do you not agree? I got the idea from Lovestrucknotes and her story The Cold Hearted Animatronic 2 which is a really great story and I suggest you read it. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. More Christmas chapters to appear in other stories, I'm sure you'll enjoy. But, I'll do 'em tomorrow cause it's currently 12 AM ((close to 1)) and I'm pooped -_- ((Frisk Face XD))

I'll see ya later. Stay awesome, stay healthy, stay DETERMINED, and stay lovely. Bye lov-elies!)
