"The Moppet Family - Same Family, New Thread..."

[The Count]

All the ghosts huddle on the sidelines waiting to see if Beauregard Parker Moppet has truly gotten the spirit of Christmas, grateful to be in the world that has gone on as if he always existed.

Mr. Moore: *on phone* Sorry 'bout that. I was tring a new experiment. Exploding christmas lights. What is that you need?

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *blink* Er...hi? Mr-Boy-next-Door's-Father? I wondered if your son and his, er, pets could join us for Christmas Dinner? We don't have much...but there's some stuff in the fridge and with the help on a microwave I can throw something together. In fact, if you wanted to come over yourselves...you'd be welcome.

 

[The Count]

Ghost of Future, gravely: Maybe not. Mayhaps he might a little not-so-friendly reminder from us fellows.

*In eerie voice: Haven't learned your lesson yet have you Bo?

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *jumps and drops phone* Aaaah! You know...speaking of eerie voices, I wonder where my nieces and brotehr in law are this time of year? Anyone to break the quiet of this place would be great to come over for dinner.

Mr. Moore: Sure thing. I think my wife has some stuff she'll bring over. Honey?

In the kitchen.......

Mrs. Moore: Yes?

Mr. Moore: Our next door neighbor wants us to join them for Christmas?

Mrs. Moore: *thinks*

Mr. Moore: Come on honey. I know what happened a long time ago was something bad but look at our son. We don't see him very often. I already told them we would.

Mrs. Moore: Alright. I'll have most of the stuff ready.

*Message plays on Cole Family's phone.
Hi-ho, we're out on vacation for Christmas. The entire Cole Family's decided to go on a jolly jaunt up to the Catskills with Grandma K. We'll be back soon and hope you have a happy holidays!

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *opens the front door* Hi! Mr Moore? Mrs Moore. Mandy Moore...wait, she's not a relation of yours is she?

Christmas Morning......

(OCC: Well just think that it's Christmas morning then it be being Christmas Eve)

Mr. Moore: Nope but everyone thinks that.

Mrs. Moore: Thanks for inviting us over.

Biggy: It's always been fun over at the Moppet's place.

Yakky: Whatever.

Mr. Moore: *smacks Yakky*

Yakky: Ow!

Mr. Moore: There's time you just have to do that.

I understand dad. Is Vic here?

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *sad look* Vic was...delayed. He called from his shell-phone to say that he's caught up in the sea...
