AU: The first order of business is our response to the Vicious Circle's kidnapping of Autumn last year.

Lady Callisto: What, we're going to do something *now*? Why didn't we do something then.

JH: {Whisper, sing-song} Someone's running out of plot ideas!

Iggy: {Barges in with Heresy right behind him} (There are no good places to hide in this town!)

AU: {Robotic voice} Intruder! Get the humanoid!

Lady Callisto grabs Heresy.

JH: {Robotic voice} Got the humanoid!

Iggy runs off.

Jennifer's apartment overlooks the center of town, where we can see the town Christmas Tree...

Elliot Williams (EW): That's one ugly tree.

Griller (GR): Why, because it hasn't been watered so it's dying and brown?

The Tartan Terror (TT): I think it's the dead body of Marcus hanging near the top. P-U!

Bello (BE): {Walking up behind the trio} What's going on here?

EW: Someone should take down that eyesore.

GR: At least before it falls down and kills somebody.

TT: This tree smells... {Sees Bello} ...pretty good to me!

EW: What? I thought you just said... {Sees Bello}

GR: Maybe we can just burn it. I bet people would like to see that.

BE: {Glares}

TT: He, he. {Glances at Bello} Well, I must be off boys. Judge duties and all, {Glances at Elliot and Griller} I feel that I'll have a case to preside over in a little bit. Good day sirs.

GR: A really big bonfire. {Gleam in his eyes} Fire! He, he.

BE: That's enough you too! You're under arrest!

EW: What for?!?

BE: For breaking ordinance 84523J14.

EW: Oh! Of course! Ordinance 84523J14! Err, which one's that?

BE: Come along you too. {Leads the two to jail}

GR: Fire! He, he.
