December 20, 1998/5 Days before Christmas
12:00 AM
Tonight was the night.
You woke up from your wonderful slumber.
You got out of bed, then looked down the hallway for anybody. To see if they were asleep or not.
You were currently wearing a watch, it said...
'TASK: Open your Christmas present early'
Your watch would tell you things that you had to do.
...
No one...
Everyone was asleep.
You smiled mischievously. The coast was clear.
You walked out of your room and walked through the door in the living room.
A music box was placed on a shelf above the fireplace, playing a tune.
You walked to the Christmas tree and looked under it.
...
Nothing... nothing was there. No presents, no nothing.
You: 'WHAT?!? No present for me?'
You thought, in disbelief.
Why wasn't there a present under the tree.
Welp, now that plan was ruined.
You wanted to see your present and now there is none.
You decided to just walk back to your room...
But not before you had an idea...
Your eyes slowly looked over next to the refrigerator... the basement...
You: 'The basement..... oh no.'
You gulped nervously.
You never liked going to the basement, coz it was always dark and scary. You always heard noises coming from down there.
You eventually got brave enough to go.
You perked in from the top of the stairs. You put a foot on one of the stairs.
You sat on the stairs, then scooted down to the next stair.
You had pajamas on and you were afraid of slipping off the stairs.
You finally got to the bottom of the stairs, you got up and walked down the little hallway.
You: 'Boy, it's damp in here.'
It was very big in the basement, so your present could be anywhere.
You checked the back room, the wash room and all around the main area, but still couldn't find your present.
You: "Maybe I should just give up."
You sighed.
But you realized there was a room you didn't check.
The room by the other backroom.
You walked over to it and looked inside.
You gasped at the sight. There was your present.
You ran to it and picked it up from its place.
You unwrapped the wrapper and you saw it...
A Baby Talking Tattletail!
He was small, purple with a beige underbelly, and a cat-like face. He had a heart-shaped nose and large blue eyes with purple-blue eyelids, and large pointed ears resembling those of Furbies.
Tattletail: "Me Tattletail, me loooooove you!"
The purple toy said happily.
You: "Aww, I love you too, Tattletail!"
You checked his box for some instructions and you saw he also had three bars on his back.
A red one, a green one and a purple one.
You read the instructions.
'DIRECTIONS: Your very own Tattletail has important needs for him to be taken cared of. There are bars on his back to see what he needs. He needs to be fed, groomed, and charged.'
Just when you were done reading the directions, your watch beeped.
It now said, 'TASK: He really eats! Grab some food from the upstairs fridge'
You started to walk back halfway to the stairs when Tattletail started babbling.
Tattletail: "Happy birthday!"
You: "It's not my birthday, silly."
You giggled.
Tattletail laughed in response.
You continued walked up the stairs. Just then Tattletail started babbling again.
Tattletail: "Give me a treat! Give me a treat! Give me a treat!"
You stood in front of the refrigerator and opened it.
You took out a leftover sandwich you had earlier that day, and cut it in half and put it in front of Tattletail.
He just stared at it.
You pouted.
He ate it after.
Tattletail: "Hehehe!"
He laughed.
Your watch beeped again, this time saying,
'TASK: Brushable hair! Use the brush in the living room to clean Tattletail'
You saw the hairbrush on the couch in the living room. You walked over to it.
You picked it up and brushed it against Tattletail's fur.
After the bar was full, Tattletail started to speak again.
Tattletail: *yawns* "Me tired."
He yawned.
Your watch beeped. It now said, 'TASK: Wrap Tattletail back up'
You frowned sadly.
You kinda didn't want to put him back after all the fun you had with him.
But then again, you didn't want to get in trouble by your parents.
So you walked down the stairs once again....
until the light went out.
So gasped in surprise.
Tattletail: "It's dark."
You speed-walked back to the back of the room, but before you put Tattletail back, you said,
You: "Bye Tattletail, it was fun while it lasted, but I'll be back tomorrow night."
Tattletail wagged his tail.
You placed him back in his cardboard box and got some more wrapping paper and put it on the box.
Just after you put the box next to the other gifts, you saw a green egg with a yellow bow around it.
You picked it up and opened it. It had chewed dog food in it.
You: "Ew."
You said, disgusted.
You put the egg in your pocket.
Your watch beeped.
'TASK: Go to bed'
You started walk to the hallway to your room.
The telephone on the wall rang.
You didn't want to pick it up, due to you being (insert your height).
But whatever, you reached up to it and brought it to your ear.
You: "Hello- AH!"
You jumped at the sound of a very loud grinding noise that sounded like an old coffee machine.
You quickly put the phone back on the hook.
You speed-walked back your room, when you saw the front door open.
You: 'Huh? Who left the front door open?'
You walked outside only to see another egg. It was blue with a darker blue bow around it.
You opened it.
It was a hairball.
You tilted your head in confusion.
You put it in your pocket with the other egg and walked in your room.
You opened your dresser drawer to put the previous eggs inside.
You sat on your bed, but you see another egg.
It was yellow with a red bow.
You opened it.
It was a missing sock.
You put it in with the other eggs then laid down on your bed.
Before drifting to sleep, you said to yourself,
You: "Yep, I'm definitely doing this again tomorrow."
