MARE: Wow, we were asleep for a whole day!

KUSE: Jeez my ass is numb. Let's get breakfast.

KNACKS: Oooh -- let's have pancakes!


KNACKS: Mare, do we have pancakes?

MARE: Nope, all we have is that leftover sushi. I'm getting pretty tired of waking up in a puddle of my own shit every night.

KUSE: Uh, guys? Look up. Now.


KNACKS: Ho-lee cow feet.

MARE: What the Hell?

CLAIRE: Good morning, everyone! Allow me to introduce you to the new and improved Waiterbot! With his help, I shall rule this kingdom with an iron fist and disassemble all who stand in my way!

MARE: Claire! You devil! I knew you couldn't be trusted!

CLAIRE: Don't even talk to me, you. You're a disgrace to Mares everywhere.

MARE: We're not going to play as your foils, bitch! We'll never submit!

CLAIRE: Oh yeah? Waiterbot, please, do your thing.


KNACKS: AHHH! QUEEN MARE, HELP! HELP HE'S GONNA EAT ME!

MARE: Get off of Knacks, you monster!

WAITERBOT: I feed on the fear you spit at me, children. Ho ho ho ho!

CLAIRE: Okay Waiterbot, put him down. I think we've proven our point.


CLAIRE: Think twice before pissing me off again, you fools. I'll let you live for now, but know one thing. Should any of you get in my face or try to stop me, you'll be worm food faster than you can remember which number Mare I am. Understand?

MARE: Just leave us alone!

WAITERBOT: Who is playing "football" now, you brainhurters?! Oh ho ho ho!


LATER...

MARE: ...and I think she has Waiterbot under some kind of mind control! I recognize all of those "oh ho hos" from the brainwashed slaves of past Mares! We need to stop her. I'm just not sure how.

KUSE: Oi vei. And all we got outta the twelfth box were a couple of books. This calendar's never gonna give us a gun.

MARE: I'm afraid it's much more serious than that. We can't possibly stop Claire and Waiterbot without the aid of Santa Claus himself -- but he isn't set to pop off the calendar until December 24th!


MEANWHILE...


So this is Christmas...


And what have you done?
Another year over...
And a new one just begun.


And so this is Christmas...
I hope you have fun...
The near and the dear one...
The old and the young.


A Very Merry Christmas!
And a Happy New Year!
Let's hope it's a good one...
Without any fear.
