Mewthree's Christmas Carol - Present
#8 of Mew's Christmas Carol
Christmas has come once more, but the people and Pokémon of this modern age have forgotten what it's all about! The misfitting duo of Mew and Mewtwo decide to bring back the old traditions and enforce their very own brand of Christmas spirit... For better or worse!
Mew and Mewtwo continued working hard through the night Until the time had come for the two to once again reunite Mew felt a bit exhausted, but kept a steady pace As she finally reached their designated meeting place
Mewtwo hovered above the ground, calm and formal And everything seemed to be completely normal That is, until Mew came down saw what laid below The frozen body of a human, lying dead in the snow
Mewtwo said, "There was no hope for his survival," "He had passed away long before our arrival," In the man's arms, a present with a note lay curled 'From Dad, to the greatest daughter in the world'
Mew gasped at the sight, her mind running errant She knew too well what it was like to grow up without a parent "Mewtwo!" she urged, "What great luck that we were to arrive!" "If we combine our forces, there is a chance that we could revive-"
"Out of the question," Mewtwo snarled as his eyes flared "This is not a being natural selection has spared," "Your love for morals must be something I have misread," "If you truly have no issue with resurrecting the dead,"
"Read the note!" Mew yelled, ignoring his threat "A good man like this cannot be meant to die just yet!" "I could have saved him, had I only been here in time!" "If I can save him still... Would it really be a crime!?"
Mewtwo glared at her, his will unable to bend "Original," he said, "Your idealism will be your end," "Survival is not a given, but something you have to earn," "And the death of this human is not of our concern,"
Once more their opinions had turned out to be conflicting And they spent the rest of the evening arguing and contradicting At the end of it all, Mewtwo remained resolute and undaunted And Mew realized they could not have saved the human even if they wanted
Finally, Mewtwo felt that his patience had diminished He said, "Our efforts this Christmas are finished," "If more useless debating is what you crave," "Then I shall await you within the walls of my cave,"
Mewtwo left in haste, leaving Mew before she could reply Having come to no resolution, she felt a heavy urge to sigh She moved to the human and carefully picked up the present Search as she might, she would never know for whom it was meant
Feeling sad and trying hard to ignore her empathy's aching pain She suddenly felt curious as to what the package might contain Undoing the wrapper and releasing the gift from its cell She was surprised to find nothing but a common Soothe Bell
Another note was inside, and she was able to read "The sound of this will calm you in times of need," Mew held up the round, metallic thing Carefully tapping it with her tail, it began to ring
The lack of any and all effects disappointed Mew But then she wondered if maybe that was all it was meant to do A tiny little sound that provides her with a minute distraction From the problems of the world that call for her action
It reminded her that she more than anyone had earned To spend the rest of the night happy and cheerful, not concerned Her spirits returned and eased her mind of all the bother As Mew let go of the bell and whispered, "Thank you... Father..."
