//------------------------------// // Christmas Bonus Sequel Chapter // Story: Five Nights at Strickland Propane 2: One Week of a Clean Burning Hell // by LtMajorDude //------------------------------// A black pegasus, wearing a pink mustache and eyeglasses, hummed to himself happily as he took out a music player from his backpack. He turned it on, playing one of his favorite songs as he turned to the television screen and switched to the truck area. The truck area was covered in snow, as it was Hearth's Warming Eve, a time for joyous celebration. Bobby was busy throwing snowballs around rather than wiping propane tanks. He wore a Strickland Propane sweater and winter pants over his uniform. The night guard wasted no time in powering up the radio. "How am I doing that?!" The pegasus shouted as he finished powering up the radio. After doing so, he switched to the inventory room, where he saw Boomhauer organizing pans and pots. He was busy singing a holiday song. "Dang ol' fire of propane lives in something, yo! Cleaning burn we can't drift yo. Though quarrels arise, I tell ya what, Laughter, singing, selling propane yo! Merry Christmas Eve yo! Dang ol' nonexistent in Equestria, I tell ya what!" "What in the name of Discord is Christmas?" The pony muttered, shaking his head as he switched to the break room. "Is that somepony's birthday?" He saw Bill humming happily as he took out a bottle of eggnog and a small gingerbread house from the fridge. With a big smile, he poured the entire eggnog onto the gingerbread house. As soon as the bottle was empty, he quickly ate the soaked gingerbread house with his hands. He consumed it like a hungry dog, the eggnog and gingerbread crumbs stained his face. The night guard put on the Peggy Hill mask and quickly flew to the bathroom. He entered through one of the bathroom stalls, took off his mask, and started to puke his guts out from that sight. As soon as he was done, he heard the bathroom door open and two pairs of footsteps. "I'm telling you, Hank!" The night guard identified that voice as Dale Gribble. "It was previously Christmas before those two alicorn anarchists took control and renamed it to Hearth's Warming Eve. Nopony knows what Christmas is because the ones who knew are now dead! I bet Princess Celestia is threatening to kill Discord if he reveals this! He was one of the people who knew the truth!!!" The bathroom was now filled with silence. "Did you meant to say those words, or did they off out of your mouth as you talked?" Hank complained as he left the bathroom. Dale sighed as the night guard put on his mask and headed towards the bathroom door. "Hey Peggy." "Go to Tartarus." "Already there whenever I'm talking to you Peg-Leg." The night guard left the bathroom and flew to his office. He quickly switched to the other hallway, where he saw Kahn sprinting with a large sharpened candy cane. He stopped as he stared at the camera. "Merry Hearth's Warming Eve! You should celebrate by three-hole punching your face. Or refuel yourself. Yeah..." Kahn grumbled to himself as he marched away from the hallway. The night guard laughed as he relaxed in his chair. This night was going to be easier than he thought... "DIE!!!!" The night guard turned around and saw Cotton Hill standing in front on his, a vicious look on his eyes and a red and white Hearth's Warming Eve hat on his head. "AHHHH!!!" The night guard yelped as he scrambled to fetch his Peggy Hill mask. "PUT THE MASK ON!!!" He quickly put on the mask, only to have it viciously removed by Cotton, who threw it on the ground and started to choke the night guard. "JINGLE BELLS, YA SUCK, TIME TO GODDAMN DIE!!!!" Cotton roared with malice as he grinned evilly. The night guard put his hooves on Cotton's arms, struggling to break free. It resulted in no success as the night guard could no longer breathe. With all hope lost, he closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate. BEEP! "Thank Celestia the night is over!" He yelled with joy. "Now if you will excuse me...I'M GETTING THE FAUST OUT OF HERE SO THAT I CAN SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY!!!" He immediately ran out of the propane store, ignoring the other robots as they turned to the pony and gave him friendly greetings and wishes of a Merry Hearth's Warming Eve (Except Dale, who wished him a Merry Christmas). Cotton blinked as he heard the pony burst through the door with cheers. "Ah wish Ah coulda torn out his dumb mustache from his stupid face..." Cotton muttered as he adjusted his hat.
