Bambisitter Mia's Daycare: Blue Sweater Blues

*On a sunny morning, Bambisitter Mia is out on the porch of the daycare, watching the kids playing out in the backyard together.*

B. Mia: *Humming.* It's always a nice opportunity to come outside when it's a sunny day.

*Meanwhile, Baby Bambi, D. Dave, Badai and Expunged are out in the backyard, playing with a ball.*

Baby Expunged: Ah will score, ah will score!

Baby D. Dave: No, come on, pass chu me!

Baby Expunged: Alwight! *Baby Expunged tries to pass the ball to Baby D. Dave, but ends up kicking it too hard, sending the ball over the fence.*

Baby Bambi: Ohh no... Come on, Expunged, ah told you not chu kick sho hard!

Baby Expunged: Awww... Don't worry, ah will go get it! *Baby Expunged walks away and goes over to Bambisitter Mia.* Mia, Mia!

B. Mia: Hm? Oh, what is it, Expunged, you needed something?

Baby Expunged: Yeah! Ow ball went ovah da fence, can ah go next doh chu get it back?

B. Mia: Hm, of course... Just be careful!

Baby Expunged: Don't worry! I will! *He then runs back and uses some paint cans as a staircase of sorts to climb over the fence and to the next door neighbor's backyard. There, he ends up finding the ball.* Ah, there it ish... *He attempts to walk up to it, when suddenly...*

Mr. Gonzales: Hey, you! The heck are you think you're- *He walks up, noticing the ball and how it landed between his flowers.*

Baby Expunged: Oh, heheh... Sowwy...

Mr. Gonzales: ...Sorry? DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO GROW MY DAISIES? And you're telling me you're SORRY?

Baby Expunged: ...I-I said I'm sowwy! Jush let me take mah ball and ah will-

Mr. Gonzales: Oh, yeah, this thing? *He picks up the ball.* So you can go ahead and smash everything else I have? Isn't hammering in my eardrums with your constant yelling, crying, laughing and shouting ENOUGH?

Baby Expunged: Hey, wait! That ball is mine!

Mr. Gonzales: No, it's not! I'm repossessing it until you little shin-nibblers learn how to behave! Now get out of my yard! Gate's THAT way.

*Baby Expunged ends up walking out the gate and back next door to the daycare, looking pretty sad.*

*As he walks back to the backyard, Bambisitter Mia sees him.*

B. Mia: Oh, hey Expunged! Did you get the ball back yet?

*Baby Expunged passes by without saying a word. Bambisitter Mia ends up noticing him being sad.*

B. Mia: Aw, what's wrong?

Baby D. Dave: Hey, Ecpunch! You got da ball?

Baby Expunged: *Sob* No... Da bad man next doh yelled at me for ruining his flowahs...

B. Mia: Mr. Gonzales?

Baby Expunged: And then... *Sob* And then he took mah ball and threw me out...

Baby D. Dave: Sho... We aren't getting ow ball back?

Baby Badai: Evah...?

Baby Bambi: Aw... *The three of them frown as well...*

B. Mia: Don't worry, I'll get you boys the ball back. I promise.

Baby Expunged: Tank you, Mia...

*Later, B. Mia is knocking on the gate to Mr. Gonzales' garden. He walks up to the gate to open it, only to groan in annoyance when he notices that it's B. Mia.*

B. Mia: Hello? Mr. Gonzales?

Mr. Gonzales: Ugh... *He opens the gate.* What do you want this time?

B. Mia: Well, I just wanted to talk... May I come in?

Mr. Gonzales: ...Fine, but you better stay away from my daisies.

*B. Mia walks down into the garden, noticing the huge amount of flowers Mr. Gonzales has growing...*

B. Mia: Wow... Your... Your garden's amazing!

Mr. Gonzales: Yes, yes, I know... But it won't be if you keep letting those little parasites run amuck wherever they want!

B. Mia: Yeah, I wanted to just... Talk about that... You see, Expunged told me that you yelled at him and took his ball without letting him say sorry...

Mr. Gonzales: Oh, give me a break. You seriously think saying "sorry" is going to cut it? Do you have any idea how much work these things take to grow?!

B. Mia: ...Okay, but listen, I don't think your-

Mr. Gonzales: Ohhh, I know what you're about to say. "Your methods are too cruel"! Listen, your kids are whiny... *He grabs a nearby water hose.* Spoiled... *He uses the hose to water his nearby forget-me-nots.* Undisciplined... *He puts the hose down briefly, grabbing onto a nearby weed and tearing it out of the ground.* CARELESS little BRATS! What they need isn't more gifts and reassurance. What they need is forty hits on their back-quarters, and maybe then, they'll start functioning properly!

B. Mia: *Gasp* How could you even say that?!

Mr. Gonzales: ...I said it because it's TRUE. You remember that time when they tried to attack me with that weird remote control helicopter thing?!

B. Mia: Aw, come on, that was a year ago! And it was an accident!

Mr. Gonzales: "Oh, it was an accident!" Yeah, that's the number one excuse used by ignorant caretakers all over... Listen, Mrs. "Bambisitter", you'd best start properly caring for those little kiddos of yours, unless you want them to grow up to be locked up behind bars.

B. Mia: ...Can I at least get the ball back?

Mr. Gonzales: Oh, so that those tiny monsters can ruin my work again? No way. Now get out of my yard! *He sprays B. Mia with his water hose to make her go away.*

*B. Mia is shocked at first, but ends up going back home after a moment, mostly soaked and mildly upset.*

*Meanwhile, the kids are still back at the daycare, trying to get a peak over the fence to see what's going on.*

Baby Bambi: Can you see anyting?

Baby Badai: Ehhhh... No, not yet...

*Just then, B. Mia comes back.*

Baby D. Dave: Miaaa! Did chu get ow ball back?

B. Mia: I mean... Not yet, anyway... But I know what we can do to get it back.

Baby Expunged: Ooh, don't worry, ah have an idea too! *He grabs a random stick from the ground.* Ah will just get in da bad man's house and get ow ball back whethah he likes it oh not!

B. Mia: Hm, I don't think that's a very good idea... I feel like that's just going to make our issue worse. Remember, we shouldn't answer bad with bad. I'd say we should try to do something nice for him and try to make friends.

Baby D. Dave: Come on, do ah need chu remind you dat he stawted da whole pwoblem? If he jush let Ecpunch take da ball, none of thish would have happened!

B. Mia: No, really, trust me. I'm sure this will work.

*Jump cut to the daycare's kitchen, where B. Mia and the boys are preparing cupcakes...*

Baby D. Dave: How chu know this will work?

B. Mia: Oh, I know... After all, I've already been through a situation like this before... Remember that helicopter?

Baby Expunged: Awww, come ON! Dat was a year ago!

B. Mia: *She giggles lightly.* I know, I know... *She takes the tray of cupcakes out of the oven.* Alll-right. These should help in ending this argument...

*Later, B. Mia knocks on the front door to Mr. Gonzales' house, with her kids by her side.*

Mr. Gonzales: *Opens the door.* What is it this time...?

B. Mia: Hi again! We just wanted to apologize for what happened a bit ago... I hope this is good enough for you.

*Mr. Gonzales looks down at the cupcakes, which spell out "BE OUR PAL".*

Mr. Gonzales: Hm. Normally I don't take Girl Scout Cookies or other stuff from conniving kiddies like you... But whatever, I'll give you the chance. Come on in.

B. Mia: Ah, thank you! *She steps inside, followed by the four boys.*

Mr. Gonzales: *He leads them into his living room.* There ya go. Take a seat, I guess...

B. Mia: Hm, alright... *B. Mia sits down in a nearby chair.*

Baby Expunged: Alwight, tamk you... *He sits down on the big comfy couch, followed by Bambi and Badai.*

Mr. Gonzales: Yeah, yeah, just don't get your hopes up... I'm still keeping my eye on you. Look, it's best if you just follow my house rules.

B. Mia: Oh, don't worry, we have rules back home too...

Baby Expunged: Yeah! Wike not staying up past 9!

Mr. Gonzales: ...Okay, but listen, here's my rules: Don't touch anything, don't LOOK at anything, don't go anywhere, don't stand up... And don't mess ANYTHING up. EVERYTHING in here is worth a LOT to me. And more importantly, don't go snooping around my cupboards!

Baby Badai: But ah thought da gaden was da most impotant chu you...

Mr. Gonzales: Okay, listen, this whole HOUSE is important to me, garden included. How would YOU feel if I randomly came into your house and started breaking everything?

*Baby Expunged raises his hand to ask a question.*

Mr. Gonzales: Hm. What, what is it this time?

Baby Expunged: Ah need chu go pee, where's da bathwoom?

Mr. Gonzales: Hmmph... Alright, I'll go lead you there, come here... *He takes Baby Expunged's hand and leads him out of the room.*

B. Mia: ...Wow. Maybe that guy isn't so horrible after all...

Baby D. Dave: Ah dun twust him... Ah bet he wants chu lock Ecpunched up in dat shed he has!

B. Mia: Awww, come on, Dave... You should know that to become friends with that guy, we need to trust him.

Baby D. Dave: ...Fine, ah will twust him... Buh first, ah need chu go check. *He quickly leaves the room.*

B. Mia: Ohh boy...

*A minute later, Mr. Gonzales comes back with Baby Expunged.*

Mr. Gonzales: Alright, I'm back... Wait a minute, weren't there, like...?

Baby Expunged: Hm? Wuh happened?

Mr. Gonzales: Where did that fourth kid go?

B. Mia: Well, he thought you were going to hurt his friend, so he wanted to go check on you...

Mr. Gonzales: Hmmmhh... What did I tell you about not going anywhere...?! *He turns around to go get Baby D. Dave, who turns out to already be in the doorway.*

Baby D. Dave: Guys, guys, look what ah found! *He holds up a small plush froggy he found.* Ah didn't know you like Jumping Jack chu!

Mr. Gonzales: ...Hey! What did I tell you about not touching anything?! *He quickly walks over and takes the Jumping Jack plush back.*

Baby D. Dave: Awwww...

Mr. Gonzales: Listen, I told you little pests not to touch anything here for a REASON! Do you have any idea how much a lot of this stuff means to me?

Baby Expunged: ...Mah ball meant a lot chu me chu...

Mr. Gonzales: ...Hmmph... Listen, I just really don't like losing what I really like... *He sits down in his big purple recliner.* It's kind of a long story, really...

Baby D. Dave: Ooooh... He has a stowy chu tell!

Mr. Gonzales: ...Wait, what? No, I-

Baby Badai: Dun be silly! Mia always sits down in HER favowite chair when she wants chu tell us a story! *The four boys gather around, sitting around on the carpet in front of Mr. Gonzales and his recliner.*

B. Mia: *She giggles.* Go ahead then, get talking...

Mr. Gonzales: ...Okay, fine... Back when I was around your age, I always had a problem with people taking my stuff against my will...

*Flashback sequence starts.*

Mr. Gonzales (Narrating): Whether it was the other schoolboys stealing from me, or my parents taking away my toys because they thought I was too old for them, I always seemed to be losing something or the other just about every day.

*Two schoolboys approach a much younger Mr. Gonzales (who's holding his Jumping Jack plush).*

Schoolboy 1: Hey, Gonzo, nice sweater, where's your momma? Who's gonna be wiping your nose?

Schoolboy 2: No, he's just gonna go around all snotty-faced!

Young Gonzo: Hmmph... *He turns around, hugging onto his Jumping Jack plush lightly.*

Schoolboy 2: Hey, is that Jumping Jack? *Giggles.* What are you, four?

Young Gonzo: Hmph.

Schoolboy 1: Fine, don't wanna talk? Maybe this'll help! *He snatches the Jumping Jack plush, holding it up.*

Young Gonzo: Hey! *He tries to get his beloved plush back, only for it to be just out of his reach.*

Schoolboy 1: Fine, you want it back? Catch it! *He tosses the plush over to Schoolboy 2.*

Schoolboy 2: Wow, they don't call him JUMPING Jack for nothing? *The two of them laugh as Young Gonzo continues trying to get his plush back.*

Mr. Gonzales (Narrating): ...And that was only ONE of those types of situations.

*The flashback sequence ends, followed by a cut back to Mr. Gonzales in his recliner.*

Mr. Gonzales: But... Now I just feel kinda bad that while trying to protect myself from the one thing I didn't like, I unintentionally BECAME that exact thing... Sorry, I guess... *He looks down, seemingly sad, before getting up from his recliner.* Oh well, I guess it was nice meeting you, I'll just go to bed and-

Baby Expunged: Wait, wait!

Mr. Gonzales: ...Hm? What is-

*The four boys hug onto Mr. Gonzales' legs.*

Baby Badai: Don't wowwy, we get it, we get it!

Mr. Gonzales: Wait, so... You're actually okay with me after ALL OF THAT? I thought my sob story would have been the end of this...

B. Mia: Aw, come on, you're this old, and yet you don't know it's okay to let your feelings out every once in a while?

Baby D. Dave: If you want, you can come ovah chu us for a playdate tommawow!

*Mr. Gonzales looks down at Baby D. Dave, as a small smile finally appears on his face.*

Mr. Gonzales: Tch, fine... I can even bring some of my Jumping Jack toys over to your place. You think that one is cool? Buddy, you haven't seen nothing, wait until I show you some of the stuff I got from the Toy Fairs back in the 80s!

Baby D. Dave: Ooooh! Ah can't wait!

*B. Mia looks out the window, noticing how it's dark out.*

B. Mia: Oh! It's getting pretty dark out... We should probably go home. *She lifts up Baby Badai.*

Baby Expunged: Oh, yeah!

*B. Mia and the boys are just about to leave, when...*

Mr. Gonzales: Wait, wait!

*Baby Expunged looks back in curiosity.*

Mr. Gonzales: Think fast. *He playfully tosses the ball back to it's rightful owner.*

Baby Expunged: *Gasp!* Yay! Tank you!

Mr. Gonzales: Heh... You're welcome, I guess... Bye then. *He closes the door behind B. Mia and the boys.*

Baby D. Dave: ...You know, dat guy was not dat bad aftah all!

B. Mia: Well, you know, boys... Sometimes, a little bad can hold a lot of good.

*They then head back off to the daycare, ending the episode.*

Learning with Mingle and Friends: Christmas

*Mingle wakes up in the morning and sits up on her bed...*

Mingle: *Yawn* Hey, kids...! It's a very special day. Do you know what it is?

*Mingle sits up on her bed and opens her curtains, showing that the entire front yard is coated in a thick layer of snow, with more still raining down.*

Mingle: Ahhh, Christmas morning... I wonder if my friends are up yet...?

*Mingle tries to get out of bed, but immediately starts shivering lightly once she takes her blanket off.*

Mingle: Brrr... Right, I forgot... It's sweater weather!

*She walks over to her closet, taking out a blue sweater, along with warm black pants and elf slippers.*

Mingle: This should help me not turn into a fox-flavored popsicle...

*After getting dressed, Mingle walks over to the door and slowly opens it. She then steps out and goes to the living room.*

*There, she ends up finding Dingle...*

Dingle: *Humming to himself watching his toy train go around.*

Mingle: Oh, hey Dingle! What'cha doin' there?

Dingle: Oh!- Heh, hey, Mingle, you won't believe what happened this morning!

Mingle: What, what is it?

Dingle: Well, you know how you put this tree in here? *He looks over at the tree behind him.*

Mingle: Yeah...?

Dingle: Well, I woke up this morning, I went to the bathroom, but when I was passing by, I noticed that there were a bunch of boxes under the tree! And one of them had MY NAME on it!

Mingle: Really? Heh... Don't worry, that's normal!

Dingle: It... Is? Where did you get this tree? I want a toy-growing tree too...

Mingle: *Giggles.* Come on now, it wasn't the tree that brought us the gifts, it was someone else!

Dingle: Wait, so someone came into our house and we didn't know?

Mingle: Yeah! I'll explain in a moment... But first, where's Donk and Boyfriend...?

Dingle: Oh, Donk said he was going to go check out the snow outside, and Boyfriend was already gone when we woke up...

Mingle: ...Hm. Alright. I'll be back soon! *Mingle walks out of the room.* I should probably go check on Donk too... I hope he remembered to wear his winter hat... I don't want him to catch a cold again!

*Meanwhile, Donk is outside, trying to make a snowman... Or in this case, a snowfox.*

Donk: I don't get it... How do all the others manage to do this? *He takes a step back, only for his snowfox to immediately lose it's tail.* Ohh, come on! *He shakes his head in annoyance before turning around to go back home, only to immediately run into Mingle.*

Mingle: Ah, there you are! And you didn't forget your hat this time...

Donk: Yeah, of course I didn't... Though seems like I forgot to make a snowman too...

Mingle: Hm... Surely, you can't be doing that much wrong! Let's see... *Mingle walks around Donk to look at his snowfox.*

Mingle: ...Waaaait... Is this supposed to be me?

Donk: Eheh... Yeah, kinda... I was planning on starting out with you and then working on Dingle and I when I'm done...

Mingle: Aww... Well, if you want a snowfox to stand, you gotta put a lot of time and effort into it. Here, let me show you... *Mingle proceeds to put on a pair of blue winter gloves.*

Mingle:

🎶If you wanna get something going,🎶

🎶But it doesn't seem to stick🎶

🎶And you're losing all hope...🎶

*The snowfox's ears fall off.*

🎶Then just try it all again!🎶

🎶You'll get it at one point, so🎶

🎶There's no point to cry and mope...🎶

*Mingle lifts up some snow off the ground.*

🎶So let's start it up from scratch,🎶

🎶We've got a blank new slate.🎶

🎶You help me, I help you...🎶

*Donk smiles a bit, lifting up some snow too.*

🎶We'll get it done soon enough,🎶

🎶With lots of work and some luck🎶

🎶So stop it with all your worries!🎶

🎶Everything will turn out great and,🎶

Mingle and Donk:

🎶We'll build our snowfox...🎶

🎶It will be oh, so sweet!🎶

*Mingle and Donk end up building the snowfox a new pair of ears... These ones actually sticking in place.*

🎶We're both doing great.🎶

🎶Together - you and me!🎶

*Mingle lifts up a random pair of sticks from the ground, sticking it to either side of the snowfox to act as arms.*

🎶With teamwork, it's as...🎶

🎶Easy as one, two, three!🎶

*Mingle makes a new tail for the snowfox, using a stick and wrapping it in snow...*

🎶We've built our snowfox!🎶

🎶Together - you and me...🎶

*Donk giggles lightly.*

Donk: Thanks for the help, Mingle...

???: Yeah, and thanks for that neat song!

Mingle: Hm? *Mingle looks behind her and notices Tony out in the street, driving a tractor and pushing snow off the road.*

Mingle: Oh, heh, hey, Tony! What are you doing there...?

Tony: Oh, I'm clearing the streets from snow! It helps people drive safely without the worry of slipping and crashing. Kinda like how you'd pick up a banana peel from the ground to prevent people from slipping on it.

Donk: That's... Actually smart.

Tony: Hyeah! Tell me about it. Anyway, in case you want anything, Two and X are still home. Apparently they're making hot cocoa or something. You could ask them for some... *Tony is just about to drive away again...*

Mingle: Wait, one more thing! Have you seen Boyfriend anywhere?

Tony: ...Mmmh... Oh yeah, I saw him back down the street near the corner. *Tony points in the opposite direction before driving off.*

Mingle: ...Ah, that makes sense. Come on then, let's go! *Mingle points in that same direction, before she and Donk walk off to go find Boyfriend.*

*Meanwhile, Boyfriend is walking down the street with Girlfriend, singing some christmas tunes.*

Girlfriend: Heh, I gotta say, this whole toy drive thing is going great!

Boyfriend: bloop! beep!~ *Boyfriend ends up noticing Mingle on the other side of the street.* boo?

Mingle: Ah, there he is! *Mingle and Donk cross the street to be with Boyfriend and Girlfriend.* Hey, B, what are you two doing out here?

Girlfriend: Oh, heh, not much, just a fundraising thing. We're collecting unwanted toys and giving them away to kids who can't get any for christmas. You know, we want to make everyone happy!

Mingle: That actually sounds pretty nice...

Girlfriend: Oh, trust me, it is! Plus it's very effective to boot... At this rate, I think I might need a bigger sack.

Mingle: Heheh... Oh well, good luck then!

Girlfriend: Thanks, girl. Come on, Bluey, we gotta move! *She grabs Boyfriend's hand and quickly drags him away.*

Boyfriend: BEEEᴱᴱᴱ⁻

Mingle: Heh... That answers that. Oh well, we should probably go get that cocoa over at Two and X's!

*Mingle and Donk turn around to go back home, only for Mingle to get hit by a snowball.*

Mingle: Ow!- Huh? *Mingle looks over in the direction the snowball came from, only for her and Donk to suddenly get splashed with a big splat of snow.*

Donk: OW!-

*Mingle wipes the snow off her face...* Mingle: Who was that...?

???: Well, well...

*Cue a slight pan out showing Eric and Jack nearby.*

Eric: Seems like you two seem to have noticed the power of my hot new ride?

Mingle: ...Well, yes, but don't you think you should be saying something ELSE right about now?

Eric: Pfff... Like what?

Mingle: You know... Sorry?

Eric: ...HAH! For what? For you two standing there like total dorks, right next to this big puddle of snow?

Jack: AND you're surprised that you got caught in the splash zone?

Mingle: No, we're-

Eric: Alright then, I guess. I'm sorry that YOU are stupid.

Jack: ...And you can't walk!

Mingle: ...Well, well... Don't be surprised if you end up getting coal...

Eric: Pshhh... Why would I care about that? I already have my sweet toy RIGHT here! *He sits back down on his snowmobile.* And besides! That big, red, bearded hog doesn't start paying attention until the new year arrives! I've still got a week's worth of no rules ahead of me!

Mingle: ...Yep, just as much of a jerk as usual... *She looks over at Donk.* Don't worry, I'm sure his karma will come back to haunt him.

Eric: My what now?

Mingle: ...Oh, it's just a simple little rule - When you do bad things, bad things always come back to haunt you...

Eric: ...Hah! And who exactly keeps track of that little "karma"? Is it the Tooth Fairy? The Easter Bunny? Or some other stupid little fairytale you nobodies believe in?

Mingle: ...

Eric: Whatever, I don't have time to deal with you dorks. See ya later! And say screw you to Mr. Karma for me! *He then rides away on his snowmobile.*

Jack: ERIC, YOU JERK, YOU FORGOT ME!

Eric: YOU'VE GOT WINGS FOR A REASON, JACK! I'M SURE YOU CAN-

*A loud crash is heard off-screen.*

Jack: ...

Mingle: Seems like he forgot to stop at the railroad crossing too. Don't worry, I'll go help him. *Mingle runs off to the source of the sound...*

*Later, Mingle, Donk, Eric and Jack are over at the Neighbors' house... Eric, Jack and X Sans are sitting on the couch in the living room.*

Eric: This is stupid in like eight different ways.

Jack: Listen, you left me behind AND you didn't check if there's a train coming. At that point, you can't really blame it on anyone EXCEPT yourself.

Eric: Ugh... YO, FOXY, WHEN'S THAT COCOA COMING?

Mingle: Just a second...! *While Eric, Jack and X Sans are in the living room, Mingle, Donk, Fourbot and Two Undyne are together in the kitchen, making hot cocoa.*

Two Undyne: Two spoons of cocoa powder...

Mingle: A splash of warm milk...

Fourbot: A spoonful of sugar...

Donk: And toppings to taste!

Mingle:...And there we go. A cup of cocoa for someone in need! *Mingle takes the cup and carries it to the living room...*

Eric: Ah, there we go, finally... *He struggles a bit to grab the cup due to both his arms being bandaged up, but he eventually lifts it up to his mouth and takes a sip.* Hmmh... It's good, I guess... For a bunch of childish buttheads!

Mingle: Ohh, Eric... *Mingle simply rolls her eyes and is about to walk away, when Tony suddenly arrives.*

Tony: Good noon, Fashioned Values. Oh, hey Mingle, what are you doing here?

Mingle: Well, we just came over for a cup of hot cocoa, like you said...

Tony: Hm, makes sense... Hey, speaking of, TIN-E! Get me a cup too!

*TIN-E the small orange robot comes out of his closet and zooms out to the kitchen, before bringing Tony some cocoa too.*

Tony: Thanks, partner.

TIN-E: *Joyful beep.*

*TIN-E then rides away again, accidentally bumping into the sidetable drawer next to the couch.*

Tony: Woah, careful there! You could've knocked off our candles... Then what would we do? *Tony chuckles as he looks at Mingle.* Robots, am I right?

Mingle: ...Why do you care about those candles though? You sounded worried...

Tony: Oh, it's actually simple. Basically-

*Donk walks out of the kitchen with a cup of cocoa with extra whipped cream, sprinkles and marshmallows.*

Donk: Hey, Tony? Why doesn't your house have a christmas tree like us? If you want, we can get you one!

Tony: ...Yeah, that sort of ties into that too.

Donk: Ties into what?

Eric: Let me guess, he couldn't afford one after spending his money on all this junk around the house? *He laughs to himself, only for Jack to lightly nudge him to make him stop.*

Tony: ...No, it ties into the candles. *Tony walks over to the candles.* Hey, Large Charge, mind comin' over for a second? I need some pyrotechnicalities!

*Large Charge, the big purple robot, rolls into the living room and up to the candles, lighting one of them with one of his many attachments.*

Tony: Thanks, pal. *Tony gives Large Charge a wink before looking back over at Mingle and Donk.* You see, there's people out there who celebrate all SORTS of different stuff. In the case of me and my peeps, it's not Christmas. It's Hanukkah.

Donk: Huhhh... Hunnah-what?

Tony: Hanukkah! It may not be as big as your Christmas, but that doesn't mean it isn't any worse. It's just different! For example, we don't have christmas trees. We have these. And instead of those little strings of lights, we just light a candle for every day that passes.

Donk: Wait, so... One, two... You get eight days of Christmas and we only get two?

Tony: Oh, no. No, no, no, it's not THAT unfair... Think of it as like how when you're making jelly, and the more water you add to the powder, the less taste it has. It's kind of like that. Sure, Hanukkah lasts eight days, but it's not as big as your Christmas... But it's still very special, trust me.

Donk: Sounds like a lot of information...

Tony: Nah, don't worry, in practice, it's not that complicated.

Mingle: Ooh, will I be able to light one of those candles?

Donk: I wanna light one too!

Eric: No way! I saw them first!

Jack: But you were being, like, the WORST person ALL YEAR ROUND! I deserve to light one more!

Tony: Alright, alright, don't worry, I'll let you all light a candle when the time comes... HEY, FOUR! ARE THE LATKES DONE YET?

Fourbot: Almost!

Donk: Hm?

Tony: ...Ah yeah, I almost forgot. *Tony walks out to the kitchen briefly, before coming back with a tray of little potato pancakes.* While you fellows are eating gingerbread cookies, we have these.

Donk: Ooooh... *He takes one and eats it.* ...Hm, these are actually pretty good!

*Eric and Jack take some too.*

Eric: ...Hm. I'm sure Max and his barrel of a belly would love one of these... *He laughs to himself as he puts a latke in his pocket, before eating one.*

Mingle: Wow... *She takes a latke and eats it too.* Hm, awesome...

Tony: The latkes or Hanukkah...?

Mingle: All of it! This is actually really cool!

Tony: Heh, I know... It's always nice seeing an opportunity to tell someone about my roots.

Eric: ...Whatever, dude. I'm still sticking with you being too poor to afford a proper christmas tree and your Great Aunt Greta just gave you some candles instead!

Jack: ...Eric, I get that your Great Aunt Greta got you a baby doll for Christmas, but not everyone-

Eric: JACK! I told you not to tell anyone!

Donk: Wait... You got a DOLL for Christmas? *Donk can barely hold back laughing...*

Eric: *Sigh* Yeah. The stupid, overly interactive kind that pees and poops and cries when you don't feed it... I didn't even bother taking it out the box. I just ended up giving it away to that blue haired paiger of yours and his weird flying gal pal when they randomly knocked on my door.

Mingle: ...Ohh... Oh well, good that you at least did something nice this Christmas! You very well could've thrown it away into the garbage...

Eric: Oh, trust me, if it wasn't for those two toddler friends of yours, I would've!

Mingle: ...But you didn't. And that's all that matters. Good for you! *Mingle claps twice.*

Eric: Thanks, I guess...

*Later that evening, Mingle, Dingle, Donk and Boyfriend are gathered in front of their fireplace in their home, sitting around om the carpet in a semi-circle.*

Dingle: Come on, Mingle! Who got us the presents this morning?

Mingle: Well, let me tell you, it's an interesting story...

Donk: Ooh! I think I know what happened!

Mingle: What is it?

Donk: Well, there were these two criminals! Marv and Harry! They got inside our house and left us these presents, while taking some of our stuff in return! And now, they will bring our stuff to another house, while taking their stuff too! And they will then bring their stuff to ANOTHER house, while taking THEIR st-

Mingle: *Giggle.* Donk, that's not what happened?

Donk: Well then explain to me why I haven't been able to find my lunchbox all day, hm?

Mingle: You probably just forgot where you left it! I promise, no one stole anything from us.

Donk: ...I want my lunchbox back. Hmph...

Dingle: Wait! I think I've figured it out!

Mingle: Yes?

Dingle: Basically, the Tooth Fairy decided to bring us something extra as a membership bonus for always giving her our teeth when they fall out! Pff... How did I not realize that before?

Mingle: ...Membership bonus for the Tooth Fairy? Dingle, come on now!

Dingle: Whatever... I know something you don't!

Mingle: No, no... What actually happened is that someone ELSE visited our home last night... His name is Santa Claus.

Dingle and Donk: Santa Claus?

Donk: Who's that?

Mingle: He's a very old and very magical fellow! He brings gifts to everyone in the year who he deems nice... You can even tell him what you want to get by sending him a letter, like how I did...

*Mingle takes her big blue box out from under the christmas tree and opens it. Inside of the box is a doll...*

Mingle: See? It's that Itty Bitty Buttons doll we saw at the mall... Remember when I said I wanted that? *As Mingle takes the doll out of the gift box, she notices a letter at the bottom.* Hm?

*She picks up the letter and unfolds it.*

Mingle: "Dear Mingle and Friends... I would like to personally congratulate you for being some of the nicest boys and girls I have seen this year. I wish I could say the same thing for those Bullies you ran into!" *Mingle giggles lightly.* "Anyway, here is Munchy Choco Chip, just like you asked for in your letter. Merry Christmas! Santa". *Mingle looks up from the letter.*

Donk: Heh... I never knew this Santa guy was so... Nice!

Dingle: I didn't even know he exists... I just thought the Tooth Fairy did it!

Mingle: Wait, wait! It says something here too... "P.S. I have been getting letters from the Tooth Fairy that Dingle has been especially nice to her, and that rach of his teeth are peak perfection at it's finest... Make sure to tell him that from me, and from her!".

Dingle: Wow, she likes me back... Heheh...

Mingle: Oh well, I guess it's about time we go to bed... *Mingle gets up and looks at the audience.* Hope you had fun. I know I did! See you next time! And of course...

Mingle, Dingle and Donk: Merry Christmas!

Boyfriend: bai baiii!

*The four wave at the audience as the camera pans out of the window into a wide shot of the street at night, before the episode ends...*
