Digi-Tales. The Eve Party (Completed)

There was a loud cheerful knock on Digi’s door as he did up the last button of his shirt. He jumped down the stairs and opened the door wide, welcoming his brother inside for a quick warm drink before they would leave for the party. The two sat in the front room and sipped their hot chocolates. Gloyd was wearing his usual get up with the exception of his shirt being a snowman instead of candy corns and a small holly bunch hanging of the stalk of his pumpkin hat. Digi on the other hand was just wearing smart, He had no Christmas clothes and this was his only other option; Wearing it brought back memories that he only wished he could keep locked away  however his brothers company kept him smiling. The two finished and Digi went to the kitchen to put the dirty cups in his dishwasher. As he walked into the hall, He noticed that his brother was holding a plastic bag containing many well wrapped boxes. He decided not to inquire until he had locked the front door and began walking with Gloyd in the castle`s direction. “So… I thought you said no presents?”Digi asked, trying to start a conversation. Walking beside him, Gloyd smiled as he replied, “I said they weren`t necessary. But don`t worry since this is your first Christmas I signed the gifts from you as well”. Digi was at first touched but then was hit by a dark-sided thought, “You better not of signed it from me if you brought something like underwear or socks!...” Digi jogged ahead and stopped Gloyd in his tracks, Pointing at him as he continued. “…ESPECIALLY if that gift is for Sparkz! She’s your girlfriend and I don`t want to have anything to do with that!” Gloyd stared blankly at his brother before erupting into laughter as he walked around Digi who swiftly turned and caught up. A tear of joy in his eye Gloyd spoke back, “Geeze bro. Im not stupid!” Digi , encouraged by Gloyd’s laugh, began to laugh along, realising how dumb an accusation he had just made. Unable to stop laughing and beginning to freeze, The two took to having a foot race to the castles main bridge. They were equally matched and both ended up very tired; Gasping for air, they waited a few minutes to catch their breath before walking to the castle entrance.
Music boomed from inside the castle and was able to be heard for miles, as the two came up to the front door. “Ready?”Gloyd asked Digi who nodded as a reply.  They had to slam hard on the door to get noticed. Vanellope span around as she opened the door, “Come on in Bozos~”She excitedly chirped seeming to be already hyper, “Just give Sour Bill the presents for the tree~”. Inside the party was erupting into a full-blown bonanza! The hall was beautify decorated with: streamers,  holly, tinsel , baubles and a whole manor of lights. It was breath taking for the Digital-themed hero however Gloyd only seemed impressed. The pumpkin racer nudged Vanellope, “I tell ya, You`ve outdone yourself this time Vans” He commented. Vanellope happily nodded, “Couldn`t of done it without some extra help” She replied waving over at the table which had been gracefully decorated with snacks and drinks; more specifically at the Gaming-Themed racer who stood nearby. Digi wanted to walk away buit soon found himself being dragged in Jemma`s direction by Gloyd and Vanellope. “What are you doing?!?” He hissed “I said she`s nothing special!”. By now Digi had been forced to sit down on a seat next to her. Vanellope introduced them, “Digi, This is my best friend in the whole universe Jemma Victoria Console”. Jemma held out her hand and spoke in a posh accent, ”Charmed~”.  Digi shook her hand with an unpleasant “Yeah whatever, The names Digi! Don`t forget it!”. Digi had no intention of being seen with this girl! “Hmm?” Jemma gave the hero a confused look, “How strange! Other than that hunk the glitch married all other guys have usually fallen for me by now. Your something special, Digi~” She complimented. Digi sulked and turned away. “And your nothing special!” He insulted. Vanellope and Gloyd gasped but Jemma just gave a cheeky smile and put a hand on Digi`s shoulder, “Know what, That’s fine. I like you Digi~ Your not a pig like most of the other racers here”. Digi looked back, confused and smiled as her smile came into view. Gloyd and Vanellope relaxed with a sigh. Digi rubbed the skin under where his nose would be with his thumb claw. “You bet!” he proudly spoke filled with pride. Jemma giggled, “Well its so lovely to meet you Digi, Um… Vanny?” She nodded her head at Taffyta, who was trying to creep past. Vanellope grabbed Taffyta and pulled her over in front of Digi. “Hey… Um… Sorry about the other day…” She timidly spoke, Obviously Vanellope had had a word with her. Digi shook his hand to say `no worries` and as quick as she had arrived; she had gone. Gloyd pulled Digi off, “Sorry girls… we got some partying to do~” He shouted over top of the music. Digi spoke to his brother as soon as they had slowed the pace, “We`re still gonna prank Taff right?” Gloyd nodded. “Sweet!” Digi menacingly smiled.

Digi and Gloyd found themselves getting truly hyper during the party as the celebration went on. Digi was even hyper enough to take on Snowanna when the Karaoke machine came out. The two took their places, Microphones in hand and taunted eachother. “Keep with the beat or be swept of your feet!” Snowanna rapped. The crowd `Ooooh`ed. Digi brought the mic to his mouth and returned vocal fire; Stumbling around as he tried to keep his balance, “Let`s hope you afros live up to your expectation!” . The crowd laughed as Snowanna expressed shock which was quickly replaced by rage. “Oh you did not just insult the fro!” She sassily snapped back. The song, “Jingle Bass” began and the two vocally fought it out, keeping in beat and pitch. The face off was intense but ended when Digi tumbled drunkly off the stage and knocked himself out. Digi regained conscious a few minutes later on the seats near the food table. Gloyd was sitting next to his keeping an ice pack and cloth pressed to Digi`s head. “Uh…What happened?” Digi murmured. Gloyd sighed with relief, “Well you basically got drunk on sugar, challenged Snowanna to a sing-off and fell of the stage, Cutting your head; You`ve been out cold for a few hours!” Gloyd replied. Digi seized the moment to try to make his brother feel better, “Did… I win?” He cheekily asked. Gloyd chuckled accidently applying too much pressure. Digi cringed and hissed, “OW!”. Gloyd swiftly removed the ice pack and apologised. Digi looked around, “So why are only some people leaving?”He followed up with another question. Gloyd smiled, “Well It IS Christmas eve… some people have places to be. Plus only a select few of us are staying the night”. Digi got up and looked around at Gloyd. “Staying?... The night?” He asked more questions. Gloyd nodded; “Yeah, Its Movie and game night. I wouldn`t miss that for the world!” Digi smiled realising that this is where his brother went every few weeks, explaining why he could never be found! Gloyd gave Digi the ice-pack and got up, “I gotta go say goodbye to Sparkz!” He admitted. Digi was surprised, “Isn`t she staying?”. Gloyd shook his head and ran off leaving Digi on his own.Digi sighed guessing it would be because of Bugxel, Her pet Cy-bug. A shadow blocked off the spot light that was shining into the corner of Digi`s eyes. “You sure take a beating!”Jemma complimented sitting down next to him. “Thanks…I think” He mumbled before a light punch in the arm took him by shock; “Listen I don`t wanna date you! I don’t like you in that way, Blah blah blah!” Jemma giggled at his honesty, “Good, Listen! I need a friend who isn`t gonna just gawk at me because I have a more mature body model… so waddya say, Friend?” She asked, putting her hand on his. He yanked it away, “That was TOO romantic!” He growled, “But sure….” Just then Gloyd returned and resumed helping with Digi`s gash. It was another few hours til they could start the movie (Around 10PM to be exact) however Digi`s cut had long healed before then, He just spent the evening talking to Vanellope,Crona, Jemma and Gloyd.

Everyone gathered in Vanellope`s bedroom. Digi was last to enter; He looked around and watched as everyone else chose an area to snuggle up. Crona and Vanellope laid on the main bed, big enough to fit 3 people on. Taffyta had snatched the sofa laying long ways meaning Jubileena and Rancis had to sit on the edges with Candlehead and Minty sat on the floor in front of the sofa hugging a pillow. Swizzle sat in the widow frame and Jemma laid on her stomach on one of the temporary beds in the middle of the room. Gloyd, Who sat on one side of Jemma waved Digi over and threw a controller at him; “Me and Digi VS Schweetz! “ He issued a gaming challenge on Super Smash Bros Brawl. Digi selected to play as Toon link, One of his favourite characters, and sat down on the side of Jemma`s current bed closer to him. Through the next hour of the night the group stayed up and played competitive matches. However it wasn`t long until tiredness kicked in. Everyone moved to their own separate temporary bed or bedding roll; except for Taffyta who just pulled a blanket over herself, reluctant to move. They spent a few minutes arguing over what kind of film they should watch but eventually they decided, Thanks to Crona butting in, “The Grinch” Since it was a perfect time for the film. The group laughed at the film and watched it with their tired eyes. Digi thoroughly was enjoying himself, as was everyone else. It was around halfway through the film that King Candy walked by and peered in to his daughters room. He smiled at the sight of everyone sleeping soundly. He stealthly crept in, switched of the tv and crept back out. With one final glance followed by a smile he continued to his own chambers for bed. A quiet jingling could be heard in the skys above~
