Twas a night like any other
and all through the den
not a goobie was stirring
not even a twin
the children were sleeping
the lights all out
the fire was dimming
no one was about
the house was silent
till Alex creeped around
to the kitchen he scurried
from the top floor to the ground
the kitchen was clean
leftovers from dinner
packed into lunch boxes
the meal was a winner
the cook sees his target
on the counter a desert sits
a plate full of brownies
Alex sneaks over using his wits
one brownie gone
then two, three and four
till the plate was empty
he still wanted more
his sweet tooth so large
but Alex would need to wait
it was time for work
and he couldn't be late
the very next morning
the kids would complain
Alex would listen to them
they would ask him to explain
he feigned innocence
saying it was time for school
his secret was safe
he had kept his cool

day two ─ "quiet down everybody . . . ! alright, go on dear! tell us your tale!"

tell your tale ! :: "Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse," Lily read from a book as Shell listened. "Why a mouse, specifically? I always wondered that." Lily added. Shell shrugged; they had no idea either, especially considering they had never read this particular book before. Lily had decided to read some of the old goomas books she had now that snow had started falling and it truly felt like goomas time, and since Shell was still here, she decided to read them aloud to them. Lily tended to be rather nostalgic like this, enjoying looking back at things that reminded her of fond memories. Shell had to admit, at least to themself, that they were enjoying listening to Lily read the stories. Especially when she went on random tangents about something in one of the stories. It was quite amusing.
Besides, they were now quite curious about how the storyteller knew even a mouse was asleep. Was it their pet? Or perhaps one that had managed to find its way into their house and ended up just staying there? Shell suggested these possibilities, and Lily smiled.
"Good point! Maybe the mouse is their pet! Aww, I wonder if they got the mouse some cheese as a gift..." Lily said happily, before resuming reading the story from where she had left off. Shell listened for any further mentions of the mouse, but it was not brought up again anywhere else in the story. As Lily closed the book after finishing reading the final page, Shell hesitantly spoke up.
"What do you think happened to the mouse?"
Lily set the book aside and turned to Shell with a smile. "I think the mouse got a bunch of cheese and had a wonderful day."
Shell smiled back. "I hope so."
"Would you like to hear another story?" Lily asked, and Shell nodded eagerly.

Navy hummed and glanced around the small ‘room’ blue and red fairy lights stringing along the ceilings and he sighed heavily shifting and pushing himself into a sitting position looking over at his twin slumbering away curled up under a mound of blankets.

The younger sighed and looked tiredly at the door heaving himself up and walking towards it, nosing it open and stepping out of the makeshift room down into the abandoned subway platform, maybe he could go bother one of the others.

Padding down the rails he glanced at the red lights and hummed trotting down the rail system towards the cart they had hidden away with their storage of food, he got to it and nudged the door open hopping into the cart. Navy glances around before grabbing a snack and something for Crimson if he wakes up later and leaves the cart again, trudging down the rail lines once again back towards the warmth of their main cart and the closed down subway platform.

Hopping onto the platform he padded back towards their cart the fairy lights dimly glowing across the way. Pushing the door open he glances in and Crimson is still snoozing, he places the snack he grabbed for his twin nearby and climbs back onto the mattress they had acquired earlier that month, plopping down to enjoy his snack.

The red and blue fairy lights continued to twinkle silently as Navy grew tired and nestled under his blanket pile, glancing around the room one last time before shutting his eyes and finally falling asleep.

It had all been going so well. Rudolph wore a bright smile as he carries the tiny goobies on board their very magical ride to an even more magical destination: Pole! They would get to meet the Goomas Spirit, they would get to find themselves... and party! But something... something had followed them. Out of the corner of his eye, he had turned around and saw a flash of green. No... it could not be? Could it? He had always thought that was a story just to scare goobies! The Goo Grinch could not be actually real could it?

One moment he was flying the sleigh, and the next they were tumbling out of the sky. "Hang on everyone!" He shouted, and tried to put himself over protectively over the goos that were not sheltered by their once ride. And as they crash landed he felt a jolt, a flash of light. Heard a ringing in his ears and then things fell silent. And for a moment, in shock, not a creature was stirring, not even a single goobie...

the diab's favorite goomas decoration are the icicle ornaments-- they're all over the bottom of the tree, and the floor for that matter... whilst the agel's favorite are the glowing string lights that are admittedly getting everywhere. they sure are maximalists... but at least they're having fun decorating their goomas tree?
