~ How it all begun ~

The next days at Whipstaff fly past, being full of preparing for Christmas that is soon to be knocking on the door.

In a quiet room, lighted by candles, a blonde ghoul wraps up presents for others excitedly, "I can't wait ta give these.." she smiles to herself.
She's being distracted by a knock on the door, that is soon followed by a male looking into the room, "Hey Ang-" he starts. "DUN LOOK DUN LOOK!!" The female panicks, trying to cover up the presents.
Stretch turns his back to her, to avoid looking and she calms down, "Shouldn't ya take a break from all the workin'?" He suggests, while turning his head a little to peek on the almost wrapped up presents. Angel gets up from her chair, and flies to her boo to plant a kiss on his neck, "I'm done.. so I guess I could.." she smiles warmly to him.
Angel blows out the candles and the two ghosts leave the room, heading into the TV room where other residents of the manor are working to finish the decorating.

Dr. Harvey is standing on a small ladder, setting up the star on top of the tree, "There.." he smiles proudly.
Stretch starts going through a box of decorations to find a decoration bought for him by his mother a long time ago, but soon Angel grabs a string of Christmas lights, "Hold it cowboy!" She shouts to Stretch, with a western outfit morphed on. Stretch smirks and playfully tries to get away, but Angel lassoes him, now pulling him closer to herself. Facing Angel, Stretch smirks, "I guess ya got me huh?". Angel gives him a small kiss on the tip of his nose, gently releasing him of the hold of the lights. They laugh, holding eachother lovingly, "This is gonna be a good Christmas.." Stretch smiles warmly.
Soon, Casper flies in, bringing plateful of gingerbreads, and offering them to everyone. Angel takes a good look at them, "They're.. SO pretty!" She looks with wide eyes, "Did ya decorate them?". Casper nods shyly, feeling bashful as he blushes, "I'm glad you like them.." he smiles.
Angel sits down, before Stinkie and Fatso join the others, "I can't believe it's only few days till Christmas.." she says.
"I gotta say.. I didn't remember how much fun it wuz to decorate the house.." Stretch smiles as he sits next to her, wrapping his arm around her warmly. Stinkie nods agreeing, "It's been so many years that we ain't done decorating ourselves!" He chuckles.
"It's been so many years that we ain't done anything!" Fatso claims grinning widely.
Soon he is faced by Stretch's cold and questioning look.
"I just meant that.. uh.. we.." he struggles with saying anything anymore. But Angel gets up and flies between the two in Fatso's rescue, "Hey! Let's not fight! It's gonna be Christmas soon.." she looks at them both, one by one. Soon her face brightens, "Speaking of which.. I'll be right back!" The ghoul quickly flies out of the room, not long after returning with a red box in her hands.
Stretch raises an eyebrow, "Watcha got dere?" He asks curiously. "It's something fa ya.. but dun worry, it's not a Christmas present!" She smiles. Handing the box to the tall male, Angel smiles excitedly and nods for him to open it up.
He looks at the box in suspision, but braves up and opens it, "Wha.." he takes out pair of fake reindeer horns.
"Ya like them?" Angel smiles hopefully, looking at Stretch's surprised face.
"Am I.. supposed to wear these..?" He asks feeling confused and unsure.
For an answer Angel nods, "I thought they'd fit ya, so ya could wear them on Christmas!" She explains her thought.
Stinkie starts laughing, "Hey Rudolf! Why don't ya light up the yard while ye're at it?" He starts laughing even more uncontrollably.
Angel turns to face Stinkie, looking mad as a bee that has had it's nest just destroyed, "Ya take that BACK!" she attacks the buckteeth ghost, who falls to the ground. Doing his best, he tries to stop most of her hits that are coming towards him. Stretch and Fatso rush to pull Angel off from Stinkie, and to stop her from getting anymore hits. Dr. Harvey looks at Angel, snd srcribbles down a couple of notes, "Such hostility.. Angel would you like to have a session to talk about the situaton later?" He suggests carefully.
Angel calms down a bit, "Nah.." she turns back to Stinkie, "But I still dun appreciate that way of dissing yer brother about everything.. there goes my limit.." she narrows her eyes at the buckteeth ghost, who slowly starts to get up.
Angel turns to leave, but soon turns around quickly after hearing Stinkie mumble. She causes him to flint, and she nods, "That's what I thought.. dun test me.." she waves her fist at him warningly.
Stretch leads Angel outside, to cool off in peace and they head to the broken fountain, sitting down in their usual way.
"So.. will ya wear it..?" Angel looks at Stretch referring to the reindeer horns.
He sighs and nods, "With one condition.. ya gotta wear something I get to choose to bed." He says, stating his deal to her, which to Angel nods approvingly.
"So uh.. could I take my lady, dancing tonight..?" He smirks, grabbing her hand gently. Angel blushes deeply, "Ya would do that..?" She smiles shyly, looking at him feeling already much better.
Stretch gets up and offers his hand to Angel, before leading her into the night to find a place to dance at.
