Knives: Ahh, the GHG’s are gone for the stupid Holidays. Now I can enjoy myself……..alone, with no one around. *Smiles* I like the sound of that.

He was just about to take a sip of the wine, when the door suddenly burst opened. Knives looks up to see who dared decided to disturb his dinnertime. He was kind of surprised to see his twin brother Vash pop right in. Vash wore a Santa Claus uniform and a fake beard.

Knives: *really annoyed* What do you want?

Vash: Hey there Knives! Guess what day it is?!

Knives: *grumbles*

Vash: I can’t hear you!

Knives: *grumbles a little louder*

Vash: I still can’t hear you! Come out, shout it out to the happy world!

Knives: *angrily jumps out of his seat* CHIRSTMAS EVE!! You happy now?!

Vash: …………..nope.

Knives: *sweatdrops as he sits back down in his chair* What more do you want then?

Vash: Well, after all that’s happened the last few years, especially when we found out that Wolfwood’s still alive, Meryl figured that we all can get together tomorrow night for a Christmas party! It’ll be a lot of fun with lots of cake, cookies and my personal favorite, DONUTS!

Knives: ……….*sarcastically* That’s nice…………..and you’re point?

Vash: Well, since you’re always lonely and cranky, we thought it would be a great idea to, um, invite you as well.

Knives: Bah Humberg! I hate Christmas and I hate the stupid human race! I wouldn’t touch them with a 60 foot pole. And I’m not lonely and cranky!

Vash: Oh, come on, Knives, don’t be such a scrooge! And look at you! You’re always mean to the GHG so you’re cranky. You’re also sitting here eating dinner all by yourself! You’re a lonely person. How did you become such a cranky person any ways?

Knives: *stands up and looks pissed* That’s enough! Get out of my sight before I call my crew in.

Vash: Aren’t they all dead?

Knives: My new recruit, Angel the Black Rose, has the ability to resurrect the dead, who faced their demise less than a year ago. How did you think Nicholas D. Wolfwood came back to life?

Vash: ……………..oh yeah. Oh, by the way, all the members of the GHG’s are going to the party too!

Knives: ……………get out of here.

Vash: Okay, but tell Legato to come as well if he wants.

Knives: Unfortunately, we couldn’t get Legato back from the dead. Seems like he used his telekinetic powers against Black Rose so that she doesn’t resurrect him. He probably enjoys being dead.

Vash: Gee, that’s too bad, he’s going to miss out.

Knives: YOU’RE the one who shot him!

Vash: *whining* He forced me to!

Knives: Whatever.

Vash: Oh, before I go, I want to sing a song!

Knives: Vash, no……..

Vash: *singing* Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse……………….

Knives: GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vash: ._. Fine, but you’ll be sorry! *Leaves*

Knives: *sits back down* What’s so great about Christmas? It’s such an annoying Holiday. Everyone’s just so happy, shopping for stupid gifts, and wait for a fat lard named Santa who doesn’t even exist! *takes the glass back in his hand* Well, I’m here in a nice, peaceful, quiet place.

Just before he takes a sip of the wine, the empty chair in front of him moves back.

Knives: Damn it! Can’t I get drunk already?!

Then, to his surprise, Knives notices a lightly visible person appearing right in front of him. Knives didn’t have to look twice because he recognized the figure as Legato!

Knives: *drops glass* Legato! *jumps out of chair and hides behind it*

Legato: Millions Knives, since when did you become such a chicken?

Knives growls and stands himself up.

Knives: I apologize, Legato. You were the last person I expected to come here.

Legato: Just because I’m dead doesn’t mean I should be the last person you expect to come to you. Now, I came here for a reason and you must listen well.

Knives: I don’t have time for this Legato.

Legato: You and I both know that you have more time in the world in a day than a cow.

Knives: Fine *sits down*

Legato: When you first recruited me into the Gung-Ho-Guns, I believed in your beliefs. The human race were nothing but savages. But after my demise, I realized something. The human race aren’t savages. Although they can be stubborn and selfish, there are kind people wanting good in life. This has also brought me to the conclusion you are indeed a very cranky, lonely person looking for someone to blame your pain on.

Knives: You’re starting to become like my brother! You’re lucky to be dead or else I would’ve killed you by now.

Legato: You forget that I have telekinetic powers and that I can kill you without a single thought.

Knives: Oh yeah……………eh…………..I can………….eh……………

Legato: Pathetic! And you call yourself a leader! You can’t even make a simple come back after a comment like that.

Knives: Get out of here!

Legato: That’s your problem right there. You push people away when they are trying to help you. But I have a way to get senses put into you.

Knives: What are you talking about?

Legato: Knives, it’s time that you learn the true meaning of life. You will be visited by three ghosts, who will guide you to learning that. Farewell, Knives.

Then, Legato disappears.

Knives: Three ghosts? Ha! What a joke! I’m happy with the way things are for me now.
