Advent Calendar - Day Twenty-Two

"Okay," Justin says, looking at his bandmates, and then at Ace. "Man, I can't thank you ENOUGH for giving me a hand," he says to Ace, clasping hands and hauling him into a hug. "You've been working your butt off this Christmas, and I know it."

"Yeah, but hey, what's a best bro for?" Ace asks, clapping Justin on the back. He's got his simple mask on, to keep the bandmates from finding out who he is.

"You freaked out by this as much as I am?" Lonny asks Cole.

"It's a bromance," Cole says, wiping at a fake tear. "So bromantic, man!"

"I'll tell you what you can do with your 'bromance'," Justin says, turning on him.

"Don't hide it, man, don't hide the love!" Ace says, dragging him back into a hug. Justin starts laughing his head off as he shoves the super villain off of him. "I see why Freddy does it to me," Ace says, grinning evilly. "That's seriously funny."

"But anyway, I was just going to do a concert, right? But everyone keeps raising the bar--so I figured we could do a sort of Christmas Special show--we're being recorded, anyway, right?" Justin says. "Maybe they can sell it on HTV as a pay-per-view."

"If they did that, the norms will realize you're best friends with a super villain," Ace points out.

"You know... you really could have pointed that out before I signed the contract," Justin says lowly.

"YOU could have pointed out you signed a contract," Ace says. "Too late now, we've already started," he says, waving at the school sitting on bleachers in front of them.

"Live from Kansas City, the Justin Christmas Show!" his voice echoes over the area. Fake tinned clapping comes next and the rest of the students start to laugh.

"Did you seriously sign a contract with HTV?" Ace asks as the laughter calms down. "Can you imagine what the norm world would think if they knew about us?"

"Dude, we're not dating," Justin drawls. "But enough of that--I'll deal with it later."

"You seriously signed a contract," Ace says in a dead-pan tone.

"I seriously signed a contract," Justin says. "Now get off the stage, it's my time to sing Winter Wonderland," he says, picking up his mic. The band heads to their instruments and Justin starts crooning the old song. Soft snow starts falling over the band--but quickly it gets heavier, until the drummer is busier shoving snow than drumming. "Hey! Hey, wait a second--we're having technical difficulties," Justin says, trying to dust the snow off of his shirt. "DRAGON!" he yells.

"What?" Ace demands, coming back on stage.

"That's too much snow! It wasn't supposed to get on the instruments!"

"Oh, sorry, I must have been too preoccupied with figuring out how to GET YOUR CONTRACT BACK," Ace yells, waving his phone in the air.

"Forget the contract! Do the show and we'll call Mr. Harrison after--"

"I'm afraid that's not an option," Andre says over the phone Ace is holding. "It's for a live show." Both boys turn, looking at the drone that is suddenly in their faces.
