It's the first day of yule, the dawn is rising and most terras are asleep. In the horizon, a flying ship is seem, appearing from the remains of the last stars in the sky. It moves like a flash, until it stops rights on top of what seems to be a very big facility.

From the ship, a marine terralien jumps, landing on the metallic roof of the building and bending it a little.

Star: “Oops-... Should have made the roof sturdier.” Says Star Snatcher as she jumps down to the floor, brushing off the fact that she has dented it.

She stretches, placing on the floor a huge bag as big as herself, before getting close to the door and knocking loudly

Star: “Hellooo?? Wakey wakey Archie~”

The proceeds to be swing open when Archenemies, the terralien scientist and owner of the facility appears. He seems sleepy, but Star is sure that it's probably because Archenemieshas spent another night awake doing experiments

Star: “Happy Yule~”

Arch: “Star! it's six. SIX IN THE MORNING”

Star: “Good morning to you too” she says joyfully, knowing her behavior will only taunt him more.

Arch: “what do you want from me this time- do you know how busy I am?”

Star: “Not anymore my friend, I need your help”

Arch: “excuse me-”

Star Snatcher can't help but laugh, she knows the scientists is about to despise her next words:

Star: “See this bag?” She says, pointing one of her claws to the massive red bag by her side “it's full to the brim with presents”

Arch: “ohh”

Archenemies automatically approaches the bag with the intention of opening it before Star slaps his hand

Star: “Nu-uh, not for you. I have a second bag a little bigger than this one and you are going to come with me and carry it so we can go around in the towns and give gifts to all the other terras for Yule”

If Archenemies would have been able to emote, he would have definitely scowled. He makes a sound full of indignation, crossing his arms and moving his tail, irritated.

Arch: “help you carry a bag just to give others gifts? Me? You think I don't have better things to do, Star?”

Star: “Oh I know you have other things to do. However it would make others very happy!”

Archenemies huffs, not buying it

Star: “okey fine- you actually have a gift too.”

That automatically catches the attention of Archimedes, who turns around to face her again:

Arch: “A gift?? For me??” Even the artificial voice of his sensors sound excited as he starts to look around “where?? I want to open it-”

Star: “You'll get your present… after you help me deliver all these other gifts.”

Arch: “what!? That's-... That's extorsion!”

There's a silence before Star simply says

Star: “So, are you coming or not?”

Archenemies huffs once more, grumbling a little and looking defeated

Arch: “okey, fine, I'll help. But it better be worth it, Star!!”

Star: “it will be it will be, you'll see.”


And so, Star brought down another bag full of presents for Archenemies to carry.

They went from town to town, following the list that Star had made to not mix presents. Archenemies didn't know about it but Star Snatcher had planned the whole thing herself. She had read in some old books of other civilizations about the holiday of Christmas. She had loved the idea so much that she had made her goal to bring Christmas herself to other terraliens. Her crew had been working tirelessly for the past weeks preparing everything about receiving a ton of letters of terraliens who were wishing to be gifted different things.

And now with the hell of Archenemies, her job was completed.

It took them all day to give all the presents to their respective owners.

At first Archenemieshad been reluctant and grumpy about the situation. He had been complaining continuously, that is until they started to repart the presents.

Even tho Archenemieswould not admit it, Star had seen it clearly how the scientists terralien had become happier and happier with each interaction. The joy was contagious and soon Archenemies was the one taking the lead to give presents to the other terras.

And after a long day, when their bags were empty, both friends said their goodbyes, going to their respective homes to rest. Or so Archenemies thought, because while he was sleeping, Star Snatcher had to gift the last present. So she snuck into the laboratories, leaving a huge enveloped package under the fake Christmas tree.

Archenemies would have a surprise the next day.
