[Luke, Resus, Cleo, Luella and Six and I are sitting around the fireplace eating chocolate bars and drinking hot cocoa.]
LUELLA: Thanks for the hot cocoa and the chocolate bar, Sybil.
ME: That's okay, I'll always warm your Winter. I'm glad we invited Shaun and Bitzer along for the ride too, ISN'T IT, GUYS?!
SHAUN: Baa!
BITZER: Ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro!
LUKE: Sybil, I....it's just that...
ME: So, do you defeat the Grumpus every year?
CLEO: Not exactly. With you, we can celebrate Christmas in your creative ways. We can see Hetty Feather with her Broadway style dance moves, or Hank Zipzer doing a Christmas Romeo & Juliet, or..er...erm...
SIX: Carol Singing & Her Friends?
[Everyone laughs]
ME: Good one, Six. Wait, you stole it from Almost Never, didn't you?
SIX: I watched it.
ME: It's repeated a. Lot.
[Luke sighs, and walks out of the house into the snowy garden outside.]
RESUS: At least you don't see Almost Never on iPlayer. You've got lots of things to do every Christmas, watch The Grumpus and Jody In Wonderland, check out your presents, read Horrid Henry's Christmas Cracker....
ME: Boy, such a lot. Luke? Luke?!
[Luke sits outside, shivering. Through the night, he gets covered in snow...and then collapses]
[The next morning, I sit on my bed, crying. Resus and the others attempt to comfort me.]
CLEO: I feel the same way as you do, Luke will be sure to come back in.
ME: I can't be complete without Luke. I...I love him, and nothing should ever come between us, not ever!
BITZER: Ro-ro-ro-ro!
ME: What is it, Bitzer?
BITZER: Ro-ro-ro-ro-ro!
ME: Come on everyone, out into the garden!
OUTSIDE....
ME: [gasps] LUKE! [crying] Oh my god...I'm so sorry, I've left you out of our conversation. You never said what you meant to say to me...I love you.
[My tears begin to melt away the ice and snow surrounding Luke]
LUELLA: Sybil, look!
ME: What is it!
LUELLA: Your tears, they're melting away the snow around Luke!
ME: Luke!
[The snow melts away around Luke, and he stirs. Both of us embrace joyfully]
ME: LUKE!
LUKE: Sybil!
RESUS/CLEO/LUELLA/SIX: Hooray!
DIG: Wuff-wuff!
LULU: Rrraaarrr!!
SHAUN: Baaa!
BITZER: Awwooooooo!!!
[Luke and I kiss]
RESUS: Hey! You forgot the mistletoe!
LUELLA: Never mind, my dark angel, we kiss under the mistletoe near the end of The Grumpus.
RESUS: Well! As if I thought I knew.
INSIDE...
LUKE: I'm so glad you treated me to hot chocolate, Sybil, my throat was turning into an ice rink outside.
ME: All the best to heal my one true love.
LUELLA: And if it weren't for her tears, she'd leave Luke out to die now.
LUKE: Oh! I seem to have a whipped cream moustache!
ME: Me too, Luke. Hey, how's about we share a hot chocolate-flavoured kiss?
LUKE: Come here, you little...!
[Both of us drink our cocoa and kiss.]
RESUS: Ooh...saucy....
Merry Christmas!
