AUDIENCE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING LOOKING AT THAT COMPUTER SCREEN?

Oh, you're reading the Boredom Corner? Well, that makes sense.

Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I totally stole that entrance. I hope it wasn't…copyrighted…or something… SORRY TOBY. PLEASE DON'T SUE ME. *ducks* (Cookie for anyone who got that reference. Even without the name given.)

Till: Hey, guess what day it is!

*sigh* What?

Wrevor: It's Christmas Night! And you know what that means!

Todd: *hides behind couch* Dear God, please don't let it be another prostitute day…

Salem: *looks at him weird*

Till: Nope! Better!

AJ: Let me guess…stripper day?

Terry: *facepalm*

Wrevor: Better!

Sam: Better than cookies?

Till: No. Not better than biscuits.

Sam: Phew…

Scarlet: Just TELL us already…

Scarlett: *running after her alter-ego* TELL US WHAT?

Lewis: *chasing after her*

Louis: Soap?

Wrevor: Okay…

This ought to be good…after all; it has to live up to my stolen introduction…

Twins: CHRISTMAS CAROLING!

No. No, no, no, NO.

Scarlet: ARGH, MORE SINGING!

Louis: *hangs head* I like singing.

Todd: Only if we sing normal songs!

Terry: Ooh, Christmas caroling!

Sam: But I don't like figgy pudding…

AJ: ARRRRRGH, I HATE SINGING…

Salem: *still looking confussled*

Till: YES! Get your coats on!

Wrevor: We're getting the gang together!

Everyone: HUZZAH! /NOOOOOOO!

A LITTLE WHILE LATER….

Why must we venture out? Nothing good comes from it…

Till: Come on! Get into the Christmas spirit!

Scarlet: Okay…hey, AJ, go stick your tongue to that pole. That'll put me in the Christmas spirit.

AJ: *swears under his breath*

Nice one! *hi-fives Scarlet*

Louis: Why aren't they answering the DOOR?

Terry: We could always use the SECRET entrance.

Everyone: O.O *looks at him*

Terry: What? It's around back.

Sam: Why…why do you know that?

Terry: Why…not?

Twins: *somehow managed to triple hi-five him at once*

Salem: Maybe it's because we're knocking on the door that says "Exit" on it.

Scarlett: Oooooh! *whispers* The door is having identity crisis.

AJ: *facepalm*

Everyone: *makes their away around to the front and knock again*

Jen: *from inside* PEDSY WILL GET IT!

Pedro: NO I WON'T!

Jen: YES YOU WILL!

Pedro: NO I WON'T! WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET IT?

Anna: WHY ARE WE SHOUTING!

Jake: STOP SHOUTING! *whispers* Please.

Jen: JUST GET IT!

Pedro: NO!

Scarlet: JUST OPEN THE DOOR!

Pedro: THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME WANT TO OPEN IT MORE!

Salem: IT'S BLOOD FREEZING OUT HERE SO OPEN THE BUGGERING DOOR!

Everyone: *looks at him weird*

Twins: WE HAVE A SURPRISE!

Todd: *grumbling* It's not a very good one…

Yeaaah, it's a suckish one…

Jen: A SURPRISE? *flings door open* WHAT IS IT?

Pedro: *from behind her* *facepalm*

Louis: It's not a material surprise; it comes from your heart. And your chordy-things…

Todd: Vocal chords.

Louis: That.

Sam: Can we come inside now? My nose is freezing.

Terry: *in short sleeves* *sighness*

Jen: *shuts the door and peaks through it* What's the password?

Scarlet: Let us the *bleep* in.

Louis: Soap?

Todd: Please?

Scarlett: Tater tots!
