A Very Parody Christmas - Part Six And A Half Hatman began backing away slowly when Trickshot got to Miss Framlicker first and slapped a hat on his head with a mistletoe dangling from a string like bait at the end of a fishing line. Jay didn't want any part of what would happen next. No matter the outcome it couldn't possibly turn out well. He backed right into someone small, light, who responded to the weight of him by gently stepping aside so he nearly fell backwards. It was a dark haired Asian woman...Keiko...and she somehow steadied him with what seemed like a gentle touch, restoring his balance. "Are you okay?" she asked. "You seem a little...haunted." Jay looked up and swallowed hard. Just as he feared, there was a mistletoe hanging above his head. He silently cursed his friend Dream for putting up so many of them. When his eyes returned to level, he noticed Keiko looking up too. When Keiko looked down again, she smiled. Jay cringed when she took one step forward. And then she leapt up suddenly with athletic grace and snatched the mistletoe from the ceiling, crushing it mercilessly in her hand. She dropped it to the floor at his feet. "You now have one part of this room where you can be safe." "That wasn't really necessary," Jay told her. That's what he said, but secretly he wondered if she could do the same to the Wooster twins. "But thanks anyway," he added politely. She nodded and started to walk away from him. That's when Jay realized that the Wooster twins just spotted him and were headed his way. "Umm...Keiko--" He tried to reach out to get her attention, but she already responded to his panicked attempt, so he withdrew his arm. "Can you keep me company for a minute or so?" Keiko saw a glimpse through the crowd of the two blondes coming Jay's way. "I see. I can't help you with them. I don't speak idiot." Jay stared at Keiko in shock, but she didn't seem too apologetic about her assessment. He secretly liked that, but didn't say so. "Just keep talking to me, maybe they'll think I'm busy." "Jay, they would interrupt you in mid-cuddle with Zdenka." "Nuts." Jay mumbled. He knew Keiko was right. "Take my hand," Keiko urged him. She offered her hand quickly. "What for?" She motioned toward the far end of the room. "Zdenka just arrived. I'll get you there safely. Short people have an advantage moving through crowds." Jay discovered that was only part of her strategy. The other part, as soon as the Wooster twins got too close, was to grab a random male from the party and push him in the way as a distraction. He felt so relieved when they managed to reach Zdenka... ...until Trickshot popped out of nowhere with that mistletoe hat of his and stood in front of Zdenka. "What this?" Zdenka asked, confused. "Nothing." Keiko deftly slapped the hat off of Trickshot, and then slapped Trickshot. It didn't seem to have any effect on him since it has been at least the third time already for him. As Jay slipped away with Zdenka in the confusion, he thought to turn and thank Keiko, but she disappeared into the crowd already. He shrugged and held Zdenka's arm. "I'm happy now," he said with a smile. |
