Happy New Year!
M rushed around, putting up various tacky decorations, while a confused Hat Kid looked on.
"Um, M?" Hat Kid asked. "What on earth are you doing?"
M shook his head. "The New Year's party is really soon, and I promised I would do it this year. With all the Christmas hustle, I completely forgot! I blame the puzzler for encoding all my To-Do lists. Speaking of The Puzzler, where is he?"
Hat Kid rolled his eyes. "Probably sleeping, as usual. I swear, he's nocturnal or something. I heard him listening to a bunch of music Clash sent him last night." Hat Kid fingered the cheap tinsel. "Tacky decorations? Really M? This isn't like you at all!"
"I know, I know!" M shook his head. I'm going to ask Shawn and Cooki if I can borrow some of their decorations. This will have to do for now. Do you have party hats left over from last year?"
Hat Kid shook his head. "They're probably still in the boxes from when we moved. I'm pretty sure the puzzler encoded all of the labels in his stupid ciphers."
"Well wake him up then!"
Hat Kid crossed his arms over his chest. "Wake him up? I don't have an earthquake hat, M."
M shook his head. "Say you're going to finish the peanut butter or something. That usually works."
"I'm on it." Hat Kid ran upstairs. About 30 seconds later, M heard the puzzler shout, "You'll do no such thing!" And Hat Kid laugh. M rolled his eyes and smiled. Those two were impossible.
------December 31st, 10:00------
The party was going wonderfully so far. Shawn and Cooki had just shown up, and Clash was acting as a makeshift DJ for the night. He made a pretty good one too, using the old speakers the the three hosts had revamped to blast music at whatever ridiculous volume Clash wanted. Which, at this moment, was pretty loud. Loud enough that people had to step outside on the porch to talk to each other, or go in the soundproof kitchen.
"Hey M!" Allie said in her British accent as she walked past into the kitchen.
"Hi Allie!" M responded. "How's the party?"
"Great!" She responded. "Hey, have you seen Ratta?"
M scratched his head. "He was on the porch talking to Scott and Seven, last I checked."
Allie raised her eyebrows. "Seven's here? I didn't think he liked parties."
"Clash made him come, I guess. Pretty sure he doesn't want to be here, though."
"Guess so. See you around!"
"See you."
As M walked around the party, he noticed Seven and Fan in a debate. Fan was becoming more and more frustrated, while Seven maintained a calm, almost amused looking expression.
"If you are matter, than I can kill you. If you are energy, I can absorb you. If you are neither, you do not exist." Seven explained calmly.
Fan was frustrated. "You don't get it!"
"There is nothing I do not understand. My knowledge is infinite."
"You can't win, Fan!" M called out.
Fan turned her head sharply. "Shut up, M!" She shouted, then continued the fruitless debate. M chuckled and continued along, glad to see Seven was somewhat enjoying himself.
He continued to walk around.
"Hey, cap'n!" He called out to the person in question, who was talking with Horus and eating some of the snacks. She rolled her eyes at the jaunty salute he gave her, then continued talking to Horus, who was inspecting the toaster. He seemed fascinated by the fact that it was glowing a demonic red and was promising to kill M as soon as it got out of the toaster.
He passed AJ and AZ, who were engaged in a conversation about something. He waved at them, but they didn't appear to notice. He continued walking.
He passed Sollux, who was giggling with Goose.
"So," Sollux said. "How should we kill M?"
Goose laughed maniacally. "Stick him with knives! Then send him to the torture chambers of hell!"
"Yes..." Sollux purred. "His screams will be delicious..."
They both laughed and M shivered, walking slightly faster into the next room, where Luke and Cinna were talking. Luke was talking about being a member of the broken hearts club, while Cinna was trying to get all of the pink feathers off of her shirt. (God knows where those came from.)
"Hey, Hat Kid!"
Hat Kid turned around. "What's up?"
“Watch the place for a few, ok? There's something I've got to do."
"Sure thing."
M grabbed a drink and stepped out of the house and into the woods. He set the drink down on the ground and cleared his throat.
"Hey, Shadow." He said, not really expecting an answer. "Happy new year. Look." M shook his head. "I'm fully aware that you aren't here, and can't hear me at all. But still, I've made a New Years resolution early. I'm going to find you, and I'm going to get you out of there." M turned around and walked towards the party. "And that's a resolution I plan on keeping."
-----December 31, 11:59 PM-----
Ratta ran onto the stage. "Alright guys, one minute till midnight!" Ratta said, distracting M from his conversation with infa and sharpie. "Everyone have their drinks?" M grabbed his root beer. "Good!"
"Ten, nine, eight, seven!"
Comically, seven looked up and realized what was going on.
"Six, five, four"
Everyone joined the counting.
"Three! Two! One!"
"Happy New Year!" Everyone shouted as they took a sip of their drinks. There were toasts and resolutions. M was concentrating on something else, though.
He nudged Infa and Sharpie. "Hey, look" he said, pointing to the couple that was Zombi and Cooki.
"They're so cute together." Sharpie commented as she watched them kiss.
"Yea." Infa said. "They are."
M gained one of his rare, small smiles as he watched them.
"It'll be a happy new year for them." He decided.
-----January 1st, 1:00 AM----
"Bye Shawn! Bye Cooki!" M said as he held the door.
"See ya, M." Shawn said. Cooki yawned. "See ya." Shawn planted a quick kiss on her forehead before leaving.
M shut the door. "That's the last of them!" He announced.
"Good." Hat Kid said, sprawled across the couch. "Man, cleanup is going to be killer."
M shook his head. " I know. Now, go sleep. "
"Amen to that." Hat Kid said as he trudged up the stairs to his room.
M looked around the party one last time. He then walked up to his room to chat with the salad. Those guys never slept.
-----January 1st, 2:00 AM-----
M snuck out his bedroom door, checking to make sure Hat Kid was asleep. He was. He snuck down the stairs and into the soundproof kitchen. From there, he entered a code using the buttons on the fridge. A clicking sound occurred, and he moved the fridge aside to reveal a hidden door, which he stepped inside. He looked back and forth around the house, making sure no one saw him, and then pulled the fridge closed behind him.
He he he!
But seriously, let's make 2015 awesome! You guys are great.
Happy New Year!
