GTH, I don't think anyone's going to call about Sprinkles. Someone has to. I put a poster in everything. A purple cat isn't that hard to miss. G, if someone found a purple cat with actual purple hair, then it's incredibly possible they keep it or try to hand it over to a science facility to study for money. No, I have to believe Spr is okay. GTH, just be ready for either no news or bad news. Sprinkles wasn't even your cat. She might have had an owner. Yeah, I know. It's just Sprinkles. What are you up to, Dante? Oh, me? Oh, nothing. Just going to, um, head to my room and turn in for the night. It's 3:00 p.m. Yeah, I'm just, uh, not feeling too well today. Caught a bad cold from the snow coming in my room from the broken window and everything, so I'll be turning in for the night. Night, guys. We got his window fixed this morning, and he slept on the couch until it was fixed. Lence, he had the mail in his hand. D, my door. GTH, I swear you're Deadman. What's this? Hey, that letter is for me. It's addressed to all of us. It's from He Now. Dear Dante, Lawrence, and Garth, you are invited to a party Caitlyn, Kaai Chan, and I are hosting at our place. It's a special party that is kind of like more of a housewarming party, but since it's in season, we're doubling it as a pre-holiday party too. No gifts are required to come. Feel free to bring a plus one. A, now you sneak, you were going to keep this from us? No, I just wanted to read it first to find out what it was about. It could have been a love letter to me from her. Dream on. Speaking of love, tonight might be the night I get that kiss from her. What? It's a holiday-themed party. There's bound to be mistletoe there. That's right. I totally forgot about the mistletoe. This is perfect. This is my chance. What are you chuckling at? Remember what I said a few days ago about keeping your cool? You guys are destined to blow it. I'm just going to sit on the sidelines, watch the whole thing go downhill, and swoop in when the time is right. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take a shower to get ready for the party. Gu, he's right. We can't let him win, right? We're still rivals, but we can't let Dante get anywhere near that mistletoe either, right? Now, I'm going to my room to plan. Same. Hey, want to flush all the toilets in the house while he's in the shower? Yeah. Te the halls with bows of holly. Cold, Laurence Goren. That's it. Wait, did you guys steal my towel? I hate you both. [Music] Okay, Kaitlin, can you at least help us prepare for this party? Oh my gosh, this is your party, aou, not mine. Caitlyn, come on, don't be like that. Look, Kaai Chan is getting into the holiday spirit. Yeah, and helping make desserts for the party. Okay, look, she's putting flour in the, um, okay, that's how I chant on a regular basis. That doesn't count. And in any case, she's being much more helpful than you are right now. Caitlyn, we going to Salt and Pepper this? I didn't even want to do this party. Well, Caitlyn, what about Christmas decorating? You were like incredibly hyped to do that the other day. Come on. I mean, that's Christmas decorating. That's easy. What? No, it wasn't like, not at all. Actually, it wasn't easy with a party. I have to host people and smell good. M, oh. Oh, well, I guess you're right there. Smelling good was never really your forte. Why, you little— That's not what I meant. Come here. Where'd you go? Oh, no. Okay, all right, calm down. It's not my fault you really set yourself up for that. Ladies, ladies, calm down. Uh, she started it. Okay, look, wait, Kawhai Chan, your face is just beaming like Kaai Chan is just so excited about the party. Uh, um, oh no, let me guess. Wait, what? Uh, I don't think that she— Where'd she go? Re Senpai is going to be here. Uh, he's just a dumb guy. Uh, uh-oh. Um, Re Senpai is not dumb. He's smart, intelligent, and graceful. Uh, go CH. My gosh, then why does he have a job as a pizza delivery guy? Oh, Caitlyn, come on. Kaai Chan doesn't know. Maybe Re Senpai is saving money for college. Uh, also, pizza delivery requires gracefulness. Oh, Kaai Chan, you keep making this guy out to be something he's not. [Music] Uh, Caitlyn, you need to really chill out with that. Come on. How does Caitlyn Sama know he's not what Kaai Chan thinks he is? Uh, uh, have you even talked to him? Uh, uh, Ka— No, Kaai Chan, I'm sorry, you're just crazy. Like, a lot crazy. Uh, Caitlyn, come on. What? I'm allowed to say it. Aren't you tired of it too? You, of all people, should. [Music] Be. If I was tired of it, I would have said something about it long ago. Yes, it is annoying sometimes, but that's who Kaai Chan is. If I didn't like who she was, then I wouldn't have even moved in with her in the first place. So what about now that you know she has a shrine down in the basement? Uh, I mean, I wish I didn't know about it, but I'm okay with it as long as it remains fictional and doesn't become real because someone tried to interfere with people's lives. Okay, oh God, never had plans like that. [Music] Um, I don't like the way you're laughing. That's a lie. I'm out. Uh, Caitlyn, you okay, Mrs. Grinch? Well, at least come down once to greet [Music] everyone. Nope. What crawled up her stocking and died? Seriously, Caitlyn Sama is mad at Kaai Chan because while Caitlyn Sama was putting away the decorations, Kaai Chan went into her room and put away her laundry and found something she shouldn't have. Uh-oh. Right. Uh, was it the poster in the closet? So AAL Senpai knows about it too? That's a relief. Caitlyn Sama said she'd do bad things to Kaai Chan if she told anyone else. Do you really think she's holding the poster for a friend? Do I believe it? Not at all. Kaai Chan didn't think so. Kaai Chan understands Caitlyn Sama isn't really into girly stuff and tries to respect that, but she's really sensitive about it. Kaai Chan wishes Caitlyn Sama was more comfortable talking about her feelings, but she needs some time, Kaai Chan supposes. Uh, yeah, you're right. I mean, she should never be embarrassed about the things she likes, even if others judge her. She should just always be proud. Exactly. Now, um, one other thing. Kaai Chan didn't think her shrine really had upset FM Senpai. Does it really bother FM Senpai? Uh, a little. I mean, COI Chan, I don't mind that you're into that kind of fandom stuff at all. I really don't because let's face it, I do it sometimes too. But Aaron is a real person, and so am I, and it's just a little weird to me with real people. I mean, it would be different if you shipped me with a fictional character, but, well, yeah. Again, I don't mind that you do that, but the creepy part is that I know there's a shrine of it, um, in the house I live in, and that's kind of the thing, Co Chan. That's the kind of thing that you use Tumblr for. Okay. Ah, Co Chan gets it. FM Senpai, after this party, Co Chan promises to take down the shrine, and we make a New Year's resolution to keep that stuff to herself. Mhm. Thanks. I really appreciate the effort, Ka Chan. Again, you don't have to stop it completely, just not with a real person. No problem. Now, are we going to finish up the food placement or what? Right, let's get started. We—how much time do we have? We have like 20 minutes until the guests arrive. Come on, CH. Kai Chan, we really got to get to work. I got to Salt and Pepper these. [Music] Things. I'll get it. I'll get it. Thanks, girls, for your help. Oh, hi, Reese. Thank you for inviting me. You really didn't have to. You know, we barely know each other. Duh, that's why I invited you, so we can all get to know each other. I suppose that makes sense. I mean, I just find it odd because all I do is deliver your pizzas. Ah, but enough of that. I know it's so sudden, but behind me are my roommates, my brother Marsh, and my friend from the swim team, McLoud. They don't get out as often, so I wanted to invite them over with me. Granted, I don't get out as often either, so I hope it isn't a burden to ask if they can attend. Please don't say yes just because they're right here. I have no problem telling them no. Uh, well, I mean, honestly, it's not a big deal. It's perfectly fine. I mean, the more the merrier, right? Really? Uh, thank you. It's no problem. Now, you boys, come on in and make yourselves comfortable. Come on, there's lots of, like, treats.
