"Yeah, that checks out." she shrugged
"Welcome to the Man Cave, rookie!" Schwoz jabbed the syringe thing into the tree's trunk
"Why does everyone keep calling me—"
The Christmas tree suddenly perked upright, which made us all jump in surprise.
That is the most shocking thing I've experienced this month. And I'm carrying a child.
Groaning, the tree lied back down onto the bed "I– can't– feel– my roots!"
"Just tell us what did this to you." Schwoz encouraged
"It was– mooooo..."
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
"He's gone."
"Did he mean 'mooo' like mooonsters?" Jasper said sheepishly
"Or.. like the maaa..fia?" Piper guessed
"I was saying moths!"
"AAH—"
"Stop!"
"What the—"
"I thought you were dead!"
"No! But I am dying.. now.." the tree groaned once more
Beeeeeeeeeeeeep?
"So.. moths are like– eating the trees?" Henry furrowed his eyebrows
"That's right!"
"Dude!"
"You said you were dying!"
"Stop un-dying!"
"And so, street boy, I am!" it fell back on the gurney. It doesn't deserve to be called 'the tree' anymore.
"Swellview has a new menace."
"Uh– guys?" Charlotte spoke up "I think the tree is right, look."
"—that's right, moths." Trent stated
"Told ya!" exclaimed the tree, causing for us to shush it
"Yerban tree moths have been running rapid, killing all of the Christmas trees in town. They're gone!"
"Christmas is rooned!" Mary cried out
"Mary, please."
"You can't have Christmas without trees!"
"That's right, Mary. Holiday historians say that without decorated evergreen trees, we're just weirdos giving things to each other." the newscaster announced
I shrugged.
"Authorities say that with the Christmas season rooned, Swellviewians will soon turn on each other and start destroying the city they once loved."
