Christmas Eve, 2018

(It's a nice evening here at the SSS Mansion. Everyone is going about their usual hobbies.)

"Cue: 'Snowy Fields & Evergreen Lift *EXTENDED* [Kirby's Epic Yarn]'"

???? ??????: There. This picture should make sure nobody loses their holiday spirit.

Me: Hello, Meta Knight. What's this picture for?

Meta Knight: This picture is for those who are feeling down this holiday, so they can gain their holiday spirit back.

Me: o_e (Says the sfx below)

Meta Knight: Easy there, Antasma. Say, isn't it time for your peppermint break?

Me: Oh, yeah. Thanks, Meta Knight! Welp, looks like I'm going to... 🎵Smoke Mint Everyday!🎵

(Richard Lind [Antasma IRL]: It's the best I could do without a sound effect. Please don't judge me. Anyways...)

Meta Knight: What do you mean?

Me: (Pulls out a candy cane, breaks the hook off and uses the rest as a tobacco substitute)

Meta Knight: Oh. (Metal Gear "!" sfx) Hold up... You didn't get that habit from the "Kids Next Door Christmas Special", did you?

Me: (Laughs) Guilty as charged, Meta Knight. I'm just more of a fan of using candy canes during the Christmas Season, and that time alone.

(Meanwhile... Outside...)

Risky: He'll never notice that I hooked up some mistletoe to the bottom of the patio roof... (Waits for me to arrive)

(Meanwhile... In the hallway...)

Kirby: Marx, where are you?! I want to give you your present! (Hears Marx moaning and a female giggling) ...Where is that noise coming from?! (Opens the door and is scarred by what he sees) WTF, Marx?! What are you doing with Panty?

Panty: Oh. Kirby! What a pleasant surprise! I was just giving Marx the time of his life.

Kirby: Ugh... (Facepalms) Sorry I asked... (Slams the door shut, rubs his eyes) It burns!

Marx: (Smirks) So, where were we?

(Meanwhile... Back outside...)

Me: (Sucks the candy cane stick and blows into the air, sighs contently)

Risky: Oh, Antasma, sweetie...~

Me: Risky? You waited here? But for what...?

Risky: Look up, my "Tinkerbat King"...

Me: (Looks up and sees the mistletoe) Hold up. Let me get this straight... You got some natural mistletoe from Australia, placed it here, and raised it all year? Heh. Never pegged you for having a green thumb, my "Queen of the Sexy Seas"! Oh, yeah... Did you know mistletoe is actually a parasitic plant?

Risky: (Flirtatious voice) That doesn't matter to me, honey...~ What does matter, however... (Fiercely kisses me on the lips) 

Me: (Resists at first, but then melts into the kiss)

Risky: (Feels something in my front pocket, pulls away from the kiss) What's that in your pocket, dear?

Me: Er... It's for tomorrow, sweetheart. Good things come to those who wait.

Christmas Day, 2018

(We're passing out presents, and we get to my last present.)

Me: (Hands a card to Risky) You can read this, my love.

Risky: (Reads aloud) "What could be better than spending Christmastime with your boyfriend? Spending Christmastime with... Your... Future... Husband...?!" (Turns around, tears up)

Me: (Gets down on one knee) Risky Boots... Will you marry me, my... "living Christmas Miracle"?

Risky: (Cries happily) YES, MY TINKERBAT KING! A THOUSAND TIMES, YES! (Hugs me)
