Two hours later. Inside a shed from a junkyard
“WOOOOO!” Ace shouted. Bursting out of the bathroom. “Don’t go in there for a lil while! I took the biggest shit in there. Nearly thought I’d clog it again.”
Ace walked into the kitchen, grabbing one slice of pizza near a broken microwave. The boys laughed, nearly choking on their pizza, except for Grubber, who blew raspberries. Minutes pass by with the gang doing their own shtick. Ace thought about something silently. Completely different from what these guys usually did on Fridays.
“Could someone turn down da TV for me? I’m concentrating on something here,” Ace sighed. Moving his fingers around in the air.
“S-s-s-sure, Ace! What’ss up?” Snake asked. He tried using a remote, which didn’t work at all. So he stood up, manually turning it off.
“Nothing, nothing. I’m trying to figure out something. Say, what do y’all think about Christmas?”
“Dohuhh, I love that an old man gives us presents and cookies,” Big Billy answered delightfully.
“The snow is awful.” Lil’ Arturo also responded. Ace shook his head in denial. Hearing everyone respond to his question.
“No, no, no, stop it. Big Billy, repeat what you said earlier.”

“That, uhm, cookies are good?”
“No, ya idiot! Something about gifts. Presents. Wait. Okay, everyone! Come over here right now. We are havin a meeting.” The boys groaned in agony. Following the man in shades orders.
“C’mon! This ain’t so bad, boys. Trust me.”
“What’s-s it about?” Snake attempted grabbing another slice of pizza before Ace slammed the pizza box shut.
“You boys like presents, right?”
“Yeah,” everyone said, besides Grubber blowing raspberries again.
“How about we get some Christmas presents early, if you know what I mean?” Ace chuckled.
“But how are we supposed to get them early? Don’t we need to wait for Santa to come inside our house?” Big Billy scratched his head in confusion.
“SANTA ISN’T… look. We don’t wait for some big man to come into our house and give us some presents. But instead, we get our own. And what I mean by our own is that robbing children is useless. Especially with that boy, er, girl.”
“Are you s-s-s-saying that we should do it to adultsss instead?”
“Nope. That’s where da boys in blue come in and get us arrested. Instead, we look for a bigger picture here. We’re all gonna rob a jewelry shop for something special!” Ace proclaimed. Raising his hands in the air. Everyone began to cheer.
Snake raised his hand. Ace sighed and asked what he wanted to say. “Do we rob it right now?”
“Obviously not, ya doofus! We gotta observe the area first!” Ace smacked Snake’s head.
“Come on, let’s go see what this place is like. Got a few ideas that will help us.” He smiled creepily and began to walk outside. The boys followed him. Beginning their own quest on getting rich!

Utonium’s TV played Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane) - 1947 version. Bubbles and Utonium were setting up a huge Christmas tree inside the living room. Reaching up almost towards the ceiling.
