“Moments later, from the orphanage roof, a creature made of Christmas nightmares and holding a bulging sack that looked to hold doll-shaped toys made its escape through the silhouette of the city, not to be seen for another year.”

Post-it for Hearth Warming

A Busy day for the Holiday

Hey Sean-

When you get a chance can you do a check on that My Little Pony Sunny Starscout toy I sent you? I did a scan and it didn't show up on the computer. Found it in the return cart but I have been working up front and no one brought one in. Strange. Anyway I gave it to Mike to take it to the back for you to have a look at it, lemme know what you find.

Thanks-a-Bunch. Connie.

P.S. Going to bring your daughters to the Christmas Party Saturday?

Connie.

The box says ``Sunny Starscout?” I can’t find anything on it. Looks brand new, maybe it wasn’t entered properly when it arrived. I’ll drop it on Jill’s desk and have her take a look at it.

It is a cute toy. If we can’t find anything about it, maybe I’ll take it. Michelle would love something like that for Christmas ha ha.

Sean.

Sorry, took me a moment to respond back. Had to help Reese and her kids after her husband, I dunno, walked out I guess. I mean I didn’t see him leave but he wasn’t in the store. Did an announcement and checked the camera but nada.

Anyway don’t you dare. I’m calling dibs on the toy. I already know what I’m going to do with it so hands off.

Carol.

Also can’t wait to see your kids at the party. Joselyn misses hanging around with them.

Sean.

Why the hell did you put that nasty thing on my desk? Did you find it at the bottom of the grease trap behind McDonalds? That thing reeked so bad and was covered in black grime. Chucked it as soon as I saw it. Had the most goddawful smile I ever seen. That thing is going to give me nightmares tonight. Oh God, I can still smell it. Don’t ever do that again.

Hey, have you seen Ray? He never came back from break.

Jill.

Hey Carol.

Can you believe that Jill threw the toy away? Had to do some dumpster diving but I found it and none the worse for wear. If she does something like that again I am going to cut her fingers off and make her eat them one by one ha ha.

I think I’ll give it to Tiara. You know, my youngest daughter. She’ll love it.

Sean.

Sorry it took me a while to respond. Had to do that amber alert thing when Mrs. Brown reported her daughter missing and blah, blah, blah. Everyone knows she’s in Equestria playing with the others. She just needs to look there. But I am writing this to tell you, if you try to take the My Little Pony Sunny Starscout doll away from me I will slit your throat with my box cutter.

Carol.

What are you going to make for the party? I’m bringing those Christmas cookies again. The ones I made last year.

Carol:

Did you see Mike leave? I have been calling him for the past hour and he hasn’t answered. Also have Tony do something with the music. The Christmas music has been changed to this garbled crap that only comes on in the back. Sounds terrible and I can barely make it out. Something, something, something, My Little Pony, I dunno I can barely understand it. Have him fix it or turn it off and I’ll send someone to look at it Monday.
Jill.

Carol

You’re hiding Izzy Moonbow aren’t you? Sunny told me you have it and you’re keeping her for yourself. Give it to me, give it to me right now. I swear to god I will kill you when you get off work if you don’t hand it over. They need to be together. They are the bestest of friends. Shit, Now Jill wants me to look into some smell in the back office. Talk to you later.

Sean

Margret was going to make cupcakes again for the party. Sunny says she can’t wait to meet my daughters.

Everyone:

I need you to check your areas. The store’s smelling like an open sewer and I can’t find where it’s coming from. Also Ronnie, Mark and Alma went to Equestria and won't be coming back so everyone will need to pick up the slack. Oh well, more cake for us at the Hearth's Warming party Saturday. And no more Amber Alerts. I’m getting tired of having to talk to the police every time someone goes missing. We have a store to run.

Jill.

Sean.

Duh. Everyone knows Izzy lives in Bridlewood. She told me that herself. Maybe if you were paying attention you would have known that. Also, when are you going to bring Sunny Starscout back? She misses me. I can hear her whisper through the vents that she is looking for me. She wants to take me back to Equestria to be with all of her other friends. So bring her back as soon as possible or you will never leave the store alive.

Carol.

Carol

I know you are keeping Izzy all to yourself. Sunny told me you don’t want to share. You don’t like the fact that they are best friends and are meant to be together. You know, the power of friendship. I’ll be waiting for you when our shift is over. Don’t think for a second you will be able to leave the parking lot alive. She told me herself she can’t wait to meet my family and I know they will love her just like I do. Ha ha

Sean

Oh, I almost forgot my wife wanted to ask if you could send her your Christmas cookie recipe before I kill you. She loves them but could never get them as good as yours. (Don’t tell her I told you that.)

Attention all store employees:

Can someone please take care of that smell?

THe musicc wont stopee. ITS IN MY HEAD! ITS IN MY HEADDDDDDDDDDD!!

Jill
