A Snow Globe Christmas Page #3

---

The dream of wonderland.

You have any idea how hard I work every

year to capture this exact feeling?

At the pageant?

Exactly.

That's right. The pageant.

Anyway, I'm just saying.

Do something with it.

Make a fortune.

The forest is the heart of the

town.

As long as there's a pulse in my

chest that will never happen.

Found you.

I guess you did.

And now we're back in

civilization.

Adjacent.

Wow.

What?

These majors are exquisite.

They're all hand painted.

Just like your grandpa use to

make right?

That's right.

Don't look at me like that.

Like what?

Like I don't know you. Alright.

You may not know me but believe you missy,

I've been to the circus and seen the show.

The whole show?

All three rings.

Alright. What street does my mom

live on?

I'm not playing this game.

What game?

I'm not playing quiz kid Ted.

Why now? If you did you could

prove to me that you're real.

Except if I'm a figment of your imagination,

wouldn't I know everything you know?

So me telling you wouldn't prove

anything.

It's a fallacy.

An Argument from innocence.

What does that mean?

- Oh you don't know what that means?

- No.

That's because in college I took

debate and you didn't.

Which means I know something you

don't.

Which is impossible. Unless...

I'm real.

Woooo!

See that right there? That's my

real dance.

That's nice.

Let me do. Let me do let me finish it off.

Let me finish it off.

Work it out. Alright I'm good.

Ok point Ted.

Alright.

Yes.

Looser buys lunch.

I don't have any money.

Check your back pocket.

Go on.

Oh what the? What the? That's

because we share a wallet.

Yeah. My wife hates purses.

That was your brain. Brain

blowing.

I got it.

I blew your mind you get it?

- I get it. Yeah mind blown.

- Ok. Just saying. You got amnesia.

And here's your extra large rice

pudding.

Yay!

And your pancakes.

Oh Oh.

This is all so amazing.

I'll be back with your griddled

cheese and your BLT.

Mmm extra B.

Extra B. I remember.

Thank you.

You do realize I'm humoring you

right now?

Hey buddy you opened pandora's

box with that eggnog.

What's the deal with that clock

over there?

Every time I look at it it says

2:
59.

It's right twice a day.

The weird thing is that that's the

exact time I had my accident.

I'm just waiting for you to try

the rice pudding.

Mmm. It's really really good.

You know that very rice pudding was your favorite

food when you were pregnat with Teddy Jr.

You couldn't get enough of it.

You use to send me at all

hours of the night

to get that for you.

You remember?

Sorry I don't remember.

Nope I do not.

So...

I just want to be super clear ok? I don't remember

anything about our married life together.

And I will never remember anything about

our married life together because

we don't have, in fact we never

had a married life together.

So all these adorable little

reminds and...

perfect may I add reminds. It's

just not working.

OK. I too want to be perfectly

clear.

Umm...

You are my wife.

And you're the mother of our

children.

And every time you say you're not

it's like a dagger through my heart.

So whatever it is you got going

on you gotta figure it out

because I'm almost

out of perfect.

And I'm serious. If you have to

pretend but...

Don't do more damage then what

you already have.

Oh shoot.

That man is looking for his car.

Which is all the way out in

bumplefudge.

That's my Eric!

Your Eric.

Eric!

Aah!

Megan!

You didn't go to Vegas.

No?

Eric if you are in on all of

this I have taken it in, and

I've found my ability to forgive but

mostly I am so happy to see you.

Well I would be happy to see my

car. I think someone stole it.

Oh that was your car? No no I

took it.

You stole my car?

Well I borrowed it.

But Eric listen to me I, I

respect your intentions but

I am filled with gratitude that

we are both stuck here together

in this crazy town.

Well I'm stuck here cause you

stole my car.

It must have been a heck of a

concussion.

Eric please tell me you remember

our life together?

Honey?

Ted.

Hey.

I expect you to make this car

thing right.

Absolutely. All the free

firewood you want.

You two know each other?

You know I rather have your

house. My offer still stands.

Like I said, It's not for sale

Mayor.

Mayor?

Eric the Mayor?

Yes and unfortunately I have a

city counsel meeting to get to.

I guess I have to walk.

Sorry about that.

See you two at the festival

committee meeting huh.

Really sorry about that.

We'll get your car back to you.

He didn't even wave.

Huh? What?

He didn't wave goodbye.

Ok I'll be right there!

Honey I gotta pay the tab that

we ran out on. Please don't-

Oh no! You've gone crazy again.

Don't go crazy.

Don't cry first of all. Don't

cry.

Second don't steal anything.

Third, try not to act crazy.

Well, I guess i might as well

just give up.

Unless.

Wait she said everything I need is

right here. That's what she meant.

Hmm?

Ted, what did Eric just say

about doing a festival meeting?

Yeah, we do the pageant every

year.

Oh! That is the perfect opportunity

to work on our relationship.

Absolutely baby. It will be just

like College.

Red and Ginger all over again.

Yeah that's - that's right.

Show tune Ted.

More like

Show tune Ted.

He's got shows tunes he's

go...

I get the point.

- Alright.

- Thank You.

Meg.

Honey we are gonna run the show

from the top ok?

Ok I'll be right there, I'm just

gonna grab an eggnog.

Nog it up like I do.

Ok.

Hello. Mayor Eric.

Megan.

There we go. Alright so gonna draw straws

and that's how we'll hand out parts ok?

So everybody grab a straw.

I just stopped by to tell you that we just don't

have wiggle room for the costumes this year.

But you can sow right?

Uh yeah you bet.

Christmas is not for the elves.

What does that even mean?

Oh, You know just that it's the elves job to

make Christmas special for everyone else.

There just not enough money in

the budget.

There is never enough money.

Um Eric?

Um you know I've been thinking about some

ideas of how the town could make some money.

Oh yeah?

uh huh.

Go on.

I means If this were the city you could put

up all these contradicting conflicting

street signs and then give out a

whole bunch of parking tickets.

You know what, that is actually

a good Idea.

Yeah? Well I'm full of good ideas

for how the town can raise funds.

Oh yeah? Like what?

How about the woods?

I mean they're beautiful but

they're just so big.

You can certainly develop part

of them.

Like a country club.

Yeah exactly!

Maybe some ski lifts.

parking lots. Power. Water.

You'd have to bulldoze about

half. Maybe 3/4 of it.

Well that might be a little

ambitious.

You know, I have to admit. I am seeing you

through completely new eyes right now.

Oh yeah?

We should talk over lunch about

your ideas.

Action.

There is no room in this inn.

Very good.

What?

Huh? Nothing.

If you have something to say you should

go up there and say it. Go for yours.
