[Opening: Let's party!]
[Synopsis: Today's Hello happy meeting starts off with the sound of popping crackers]

[Tsurumaki residence: Kokoro's room]

Kokoro: So that's us all here then isn't it! Alrighty then, Hello happy's band meeting is about to start~! So have you all got a cracker?
Hagumi: Yeah, you have one don't you Mi-kun. Yep, everything looks fine and dandy! Kokoron, everyone has one~!
Kokoro: Alright then, let's go on a one-two! One-two!
Kokoro: Hnn~~, what a cracking sound! If anyone has anything to add could you please raise your hand?
Misaki: Can I ask the most obvious question? Can we quit pulling crackers before our meeting? Cause this aint no party
Kokoro: Huh? I personally don't think there's any difference between a meeting and a party. Cause you have a bunch of fun with everyone at either of them!
Kaoru: Aah, Kokoro. That was a magnificent idea to pull crackers at the start of the meeting. I'll have to borrow that idea for my drama club meetings
Misaki: Kanon-san, say something to stop this madness~
Kanon: Fufufu... Maybe you should just let it go? I don't think there's anything wrong with being merry. And besides, it's almost Christmas so everyone has the Christmas spirit
Misaki: Kanon-san, Haven't you been taking their side a lot recently. Besides, this has nothing to do with Christmas
Hagumi: Oh yeah~ It's almost Christmas isn't it~! I'll have to write a letter to Santa-san~
Kanon: Do you~ so do you write a letter to Santa-san every year?
Hagumi: Yeah, I do! Cause Santa-san travels around the whole world delivering gifts to all the children doesn't he? So I write and tell him what a good job he's doing!
Kaoru: Aah, Hagumi truly is a kind-hearted little kitten isn't she. Santa-san might be working his hardest all thanks to the letters you send him!
Hagumi: You think so~!? I'd love that~! And in a bit I'll put up the Christmas tree~ and hang my stocking~...
Misaki: You're pretty fired up about this aren't you...
Hagumi: Well can you blame me~! It is Christmas after all!! You must do all kinds of preparations Christmas as well mustn't you Mi-kun?
Misaki: I guess I don't lift a finger. I do do stuff like eating cake with my family though
Kanon: Fufufu, everyone looks forward to Christmas no matter what their age is
Kokoro: I know! How about we have a Christmas party at my house!?
Kokoro: Since Christmas only comes around once a year I want us to get merry with Santa-san!
Hagumi: Eh!? You sure that's alright!? I wanna do that----♪
Kaoru: Fufu, What a fabulous idea Kokoro. I don't have a single reason for us not to
Kanon: I think it's great idea as well. Having a Christmas party with everyone sounds like so much fun. What do you think Misaki-chan?
Misaki: Well, I don't mind it either. I don't have any plans and I'll be able to chill with you girls
Hagumi: Yay, So we're all in then~! Woohoo----!! If we're having a Christmas party with Santa-san then we'll have to have to get all of his favorite things won't we!
Kokoro: Exactly! Making Santa-san smile is also our duty as Hello happy!
Kokoro: So does anyone know what would make Santa-san jump for joy?
Kanon: Ah, at our house we leave out some milk and cookies for him on Christmas night just before we go to bed
Hagumi: Milk and cookies?
Kanon: We leave them as a thank you to Santa-san for leaving us gifts under the tree. Cause I heard milk and cookies is Santa-san's favorite thing
Hagumi: Really~, that's so amazing!! I've never done that before~
Kanon: It seems like it's a pretty common tradition overseas
Misaki: So does that mean you still leave out milk and cookies for him?
Kanon: Yeah... I've been doing it ever since I was a kid so it kinda feels wrong to stop now....
Kokoro: This is the first time I'm hearing about all of this! So let's all get gallons of milk and loads of cookies for Santa-san!
Hagumi: Hnn~....
Kaoru: What's the matter Hagumi? Don't you approve of this?
Hagumi: No... I fully approve of getting Santa-san his favorite thing? But you know, everyone will be leaving milk and cookies for Santa-san wont they.....?
Hagumi: Won't Santa-san get all queasy from drinking all that milk? And then his mouth with get all dry from eating all those cookies....
Kaoru: I see, queasy and dry... I never thought of that
Hagumi: I feel like Santa-san would be happier if we got something a bit different for him
Kokoro: Hagumi is right isn't she! Nobody wants to meet a dry mouth pukey Santa-san do they. We want to meet the smiling from ear to ear Santa-san!
Misaki: Anyway...being able to worry about Santa-san's problems with such love, you girls are really compassionate aren't you...
Hagumi: I wonder if there's anything else that makes Santa-san jump for joy? Do you know anything Kano-chan-senpai?
Kanon: Hmm~, I don't know but...Ah
Kanon: Maybe Eve-chan would know something. Finland is the hometown of Santa Claus After all
Hagumi: Oh yeah~! That is true as well isn't it! Then I'll have to go ask Eve-chan tomorrow~!
Kokoro: Fufufu! The party is shaping up to be a fun one isn't it! Let's all have a blast---!!
Everyone: Oh---!!

[Chapter 1: Performing on a fleeting night]
[Synopsis: Hagumi talks to Eve about the party while she's at school. And then she asks her what Santa-san favorite thing is...]

[The next day]
[Hanasakigawa girls school: Class 2-E]

Hagumi: .... So it's something like that. We're having a Christmas party at Kokoron's place♪
Eve: That's amazing! A party with all of the Hello happy girls sounds like a riot doesn't it!
Hagumi: You can come over if you want. Maybe I'll go invite everyone else later!
Eve: Thank you very much. I'll tell the Pasupare girls about it as well!
Hagumi: Ah, and! I had something I wanted to ask you about the party
Eve: Sure, what is it? I'll help you in whatever way I can so don't hold back and ask away!
Hagumi: Do you know what Santa-san's favorite thing is? We were thinking about preparing something that he would like for the Christmas party but...
Eve: Santa-san's favorite things are milk and cookies!
Hagumi: Aww~... Thought so~. haven't you heard of anything else?
Eve: Hnn~, No I haven't... ... Ah, oh yeah!
Hagumi: Eh!? What is it!?
Eve: Leave out milk and cookies for Santa-san and then some carrots for each one of his reindeer!
Hagumi: Carrots!? Ah, I see! That's right isn't it! You gotta make the reindeer jump for joy as well don't ya!
Hagumi: I was too busy thinking about Santa-san I forgot all about the reindeers! Thanks a bunch Eve-chin
Eve: Fufufu, I hope you have a great party!

[After school]
[Family restaurant]

Kanon: I see~, so we never thought about preparing something for the reindeers~
Misaki: That has an authentic "hometown of Santa Claus" feel to it doesn't it-
Hagumi: So we're all done with the reindeers aren't we? But the problem is what we should do for Santa-san~
Misaki: Hnn-... We don't really have any traditions like that do we
Kaoru: By the way Kokoro, how do you celebrate Christmas? I'm sure your family has a wonderful tradition...
Misaki: You're right. I am kinda curious to know how her family spends Christmas
Kokoro: My family does extremely normal things?
Kokoro: Decorating the Christmas tree, and writing letters to Santa-san
Misaki: Hnn, that is like the bare minimum isn't it. anything else?
Kokoro: Let me think, what else is there ~. After that we sing songs at the Christmas party and I guess we play instruments?
Misaki: Singing and playing instruments... Hey, that is surprisingly normal
Kanon: Fufu, It's so adorable picturing little Kokoro-chan singing and playing her instrument
Kokoro: It's called an orchestra isn't it? Loads of people are playing their instruments so it's very festive!
Misaki: An orchestra, she instantly scaled everything up...
Kokoro: Also, the people who came to sing for us said on the news the other day that they're coming back to Japan. I wonder if they were invited to another party somewhere?
Kanon: Does that mean it was a foreign artist...?
Misaki: So there was absolutely nothing normal about it then...
Hagumi: Kokoron really is amazing isn't she~! So you had exciting parties when you were a kid didn't you!!
Kokoro: You think? I'm looking forward to this years Christmas the most! Cause I'll get to be with all you Hello happy girls!
Misaki: Ah, just to clear things up... You didn't invite an orchestra or anything to this years party did you?
Kokoro: Nope, I didn't. Maybe I should have?
Misaki: No way, you don't need to invite one!
Kaoru: But...
Hagumi: Hn? What is it Kaoru-kun?
Kaoru: I think an extravagant party with no music sounds a bit dreary
Kokoro: You're right, that is true isn't it
Hagumi: Ah, then listen to this! How about we do exactly that! We'll hold a concert!!
Misaki: ...Eh?
Hagumi: We'll hold a Hello happy Christmas concert at the party!! Don't you think that'll be cool!?
Kokoro: Yeah that! That's amazing Hagumi!
Misaki: So there we have it...Wait, what? Who exactly will be listening to the actual concert? There won't be anyone to listen to us?
Kanon: What about... Santa-san?
Misaki: no no, nope?
Hagumi: Of course Santa-san will be listening but we might as well invite loads of guests to make it more festive, what do you think!?
Kaoru: Another fabulous idea Hagumi! Fufu, Now that everything is decided we'll have to get a move on and start the preparations for the concert
Kokoro: Misaki! Let's make a new song especially for the concert!
Hagumi: And we'll have to book a venue as well won't we!
Kanon: This is getting out of hand isn't it...
Misaki: It was suppose to be an intimate party for just friends... why does everything Hello happy touches blow up like this~...

[Chapter 2: Hagumi's memory]
[Synopsis: A few days later and a concert stage has been erected in the Tsurumaki residence's garden. Everyone looks on in shock and awe...]

[A few days later]
[Tsurumaki residence: Garden]

Misaki: ...What the heck is this?
Kokoro: It's a concert stage, is there something wrong with it?
Misaki: No, it's not a matter of whether it's constructed right or wrong, what the heck is it doing here?
Kokoro: It's cause of that. The black suits made it for us after they heard us talking about the Christmas party
Misaki: We only causally mentioned it though, this is a bit much...
Kaoru: There's more stage lighting than all the live houses combined isn't there
Misaki: What the heck is up with the magnitude of this... ... Is this a FES or something?
Hagumi: Give my thanks to the black suits... for making such an amazing stage for us!
Misaki: Don't make someone else do your dirty work! At least go thank them in person!!
Kokoro: They also constructed a party hall over there. When the live is over let's all have a blast with the guests!
Misaki: ... I mean, we only casually thought about throwing a Christmas party, this is getting way out of hand..
Kokoro: Oh yeah, there's a Christmas tree over there as well so let's go and decorate it later!
Misaki: Don't tell me that by Christmas tree you mean that thing I can see over there? That gigantic fir tree that looks like it could only be found growing in the middle of a Canadian mountain...
Kanon: Ahaha... I feel like I'm repeating myself but.. Kokoro-chan does everything on a whole different scale doesn't she...
Misaki: Wouldn't this normally end up as a High school hosted Christmas party...?
Hagumi: So all that's left is to prepare something that'll make Santa-san jump for joy and the party prep is all wrapped up isn't it!
Misaki: I mean, we've probably done more than enough to make Santa-san jump for joy haven't we?
Hagumi: Yeah but... We're trying to make Santa-san smile? So I think we have to get Santa-san's favorite thing for him
Kaoru: Fufu, I fully agree with Hagumi. We still have plenty of time left. Let's all give this a long hard think until Hagumi is fully satisfied
Kaoru: After all, Hagumi's worries are all of Hello happy's worries
Hagumi: Thanks Kaoru-kun! I'll think about it hard until I'm satisfied! Help me out girls!
Kanon: By the way Kaoru-san, how does your family spend Christmas? I can't even imagine what you do
Hagumi: I'd like to know as well! Maybe there's a hint in it!
Kaoru: My family Christmas... Let me think... We have a party and invite not just family but also friends
Kokoro: What kind of party is it!? I absolutely must know!
Kaoru: Don't get too excited, it's just a regular old Christmas party. But with more extravagant food and we share a slightly bigger cake
Kaoru: When we've finished eating me and my friends act out that famous scene from "The Christmas carol" and we get showered with applause
Kaoru: That girl's acting skill was, fufu... I remember it being breathtaking...
Hagumi: Really~, That sounds like a blast of a party! Must be nice~, I wish I went to parties like that~!
Kokoro: So what kind of party do you have Hagumi?
Hagumi: We just have a party with family members. and then we go to bed early on Christmas day so the party ends at around 8PM
Misaki: 8PM that is pretty early isn't it
Hagumi: Santa-san delivers your present while you're sleeping doesn't he? I thought if I stayed up all night I'd be holding up Santa-san, so I go to bed as early as possible!
Kanon: Do you... Fufufu. You must have adored Santa-san ever since you were a kid
Hagumi: That's cause Santa-san puts a smile on kids all around the world! That's the most amazing thing ever isn't it?
Kokoro: Sure is! Maybe Santa-san should be a member of Hello happy!
Hagumi: Ah! That's great Kokoron! I agree---!
Misaki: Fine whatever. Alright then, let's all think about what Santa-san likes until Hagumi is satisfied
Kanon: I'll do a bunch of research
Hagumi: Yeah! Thanks a bunch girls!!
Misaki: What is this feeling, I'm kinda envious of you girls. I can't believe you love Santa-san so much
Hagumi: Hn? What the matter Mi-kun?
Misaki: It's like... If I had to say, I would say that I was an apathetic child so I never gave Santa-san a seconds thought
Misaki: I've never really thought stuff like... "I want to talk to Santa-san-♪" or "I wonder what Santa-san's favorite thing is?"
Misaki: ...But, I deep down I was kinda envious of kids who say "Santa is real!" and seriously talk about him....
Misaki: I just think to myself... I wonder why I am so apathetic...?
Hagumi: Hnn~, I don't know what any of that means but... does that mean you never met Santa-san before?
Misaki: Well, that's true. If I had met Santa-san then I wouldn't be so vexed about it
Hagumi: Yeah, you absolutely wouldn't!
Hagumi: Cause I--
Hagumi: Met Santa-san when... I was a kid!
Everyone: Eeeh!?

[Chapter 3: Memories of Santa-san]
[Synopsis: Hagumi is talks about the time she saw Santa-san with a tale from her childhood....]

[Tsurumaki residence: Garden]

Misaki: What... Do you mean by that?
Hagumi: I would have been made fun of by my primary school friends so I never told anyone about it but I want to tell it to you girls
Hagumi: I was still a little kid back then, so when the Christmas party was over I went straight to bed but I woke up in the middle of the night
Hagumi: And that was when I saw him...
Kanon: You saw him...
Hagumi: It was dark so I couldn't see him clearly but I saw him as he was just leaving my room!
Hagumi: At first I thought I was just half asleep but there was a present placed under my pillow, it absolutely had to be Santa-san!
Kokoro: Hagumi that's amazing! So you've met Santa-san before!
Hagumi: I didn't really meet him but I saw him from behind!
Kokoro: Seeing him from behind is still amazing! I want to see him as well! I wonder what kind of person he is!?
Hagumi: He's just like he is in the picture books, all dressed in red! And for height~, Hmm~... I guess he's about the same height as my pops!
Misaki: Yeah. I bet he is...
Hagumi: Also, he was carrying a big sack~...Ah! Come to think of it...!!
Kaoru: What on earth is it? Did you just remember something important?
Hagumi: Come to think of it, at the time... I thought I could smell croquettes coming from inside my room!
Kaoru: Ohh, the smell of croquettes?
Hagumi: Yeah! My room didn't smell like that before I went to bed but after Santa-san visited it smelled like croquettes!
Misaki: (I feel like it's... pretty obvious who that really was...)
Kokoro: That's a enigma of a story isn't it. you could smell croquettes coming from Santa-san, I wonder what it all means?
Hagumi: I don't have a clue either
Hagumi: ...Hold on a second? Could that mean Santa is...
Hagumi: It's all clear now... I finally understand everything... Santa-san is... is none other than...
Misaki: Well, I guess everyone learns the cold hard truth sooner or later...
Hagumi: This is just a hunch but don't you think Santa-san might just be---
Hagumi: A huge fan of croquettes!!
Misaki: That's where she was going!?
Hagumi: Santa-san loves croquettes so much that he pinched a bunch of croquettes from my store! That's why he smelled like croquettes!
Kokoro: Yeah that!! That's amazing Hagumi!! I think there's absolutely no mistake about it!
Hagumi: I know right! It's like all the puzzle pieces fitted together when I was talking about it!
Kokoro: The birth of the great detective Hagumi!
Kaoru: Aah, that was some great deductive work my dear Hagumi
Hagumi: So there we have it, what we have to prepare for Santa-san is--
Hagum/Kokoro/Kaoru: Croquettes!!
Hagumi: Woohoo--! Now we know what Santa-san's favorite thing is! And it's all thanks to you girls~~!
Misaki: Hold on a second, Santa-san's favorite thing is croquettes... What kind of messed up lore is that?
Kanon: Well... there's no harm in having a Santa-san like that as well is there..?
Kokoro: Then we'll have to have a mountain of croquettes at the party for Santa-san won't we!
Hagumi: I'll go ask my pops to make them! Now we're sure to put a smile on Santa-san's face aren't we
Kaoru: What would you like to talk to Santa-san about if you met him?
Hagumi: Hmm like~ I guess I'd tell him about the time I saw him from behind when I was a little kid~
Kokoro: I'd invite him to become a member of Hello happy. I want to make the whole world smile with Santa-san!
Hagumi: Woah~! Do you think Santa-san will join Hello happy?
Kaoru: If he become a member of Hello happy he'd have to play an instrument wouldn't he
Hagumi: Then we'll put him on keyboard! Cause Hello happy doesn't have a keyboardist
Kokoro: What a fabulous idea! I'm sure Santa-san would do that for us!
Misaki: (...Hn? These girls are pretty much talking about Santa-san as if he were a real person...)
Misaki: ...Hold up, Do you girls seriously think that... you can invite Santa-san?
Hagumi: ...Huh? What do you mean? We're having a Christmas party with him aren't we?
Kokoro: That's what we've been talking about this whole time isn't it? Misaki, what on earth are you talking about?
Misaki: ......
Misaki: Hmm~... How do say this... I more or less had something I was going to say but~
Misaki: I thought we were just being customary? Like we were inviting him as a formality or he'll be there some kind of spiritual sense...
Kokoro: I don't have a clue what you're trying to say, but you know a load of big words don't cha, You're such a smarty pants Misaki!
Hagumi: Mi-kun really does knows everything doesn't she! I respect that!
Misaki: (These... girls are dead serious!!!)
Misaki: Ah~, But what about that? This is the busiest season for Santa-san so I think it'll probably be tough for him make time to come...~?
Kokoro: Then he can pop on in while he's delivering presents! He could just come to watch our concert!
Hagumi: Yeah! He can just pop in to say hi during his break time!
Misaki: He's not some old club member popping over for a visit
Hagumi: Well then, I'll have to write him a letter to let him know about our Christmas party!
Misaki: They're serious... These girls seriously intend to invite Santa-san... And this is not going to end well...

[Chapter 4: Santa-san is real]
[Synopsis: Day of the Christmas party. Thanks to Michelle handing out flyers everything is prepped and ready to go]

[Day of the Christmas party]
[Tsurumaki residence: Garden]

Hagumi: Today the day isn't it!! I hope we get loads of guests~!
Kokoro: You don't need to worry about that! Cause Michelle handed out a load of party flyers!
Kaoru: She's the most loved person in the whole of the shopping district. Kids and adults were flocking to Michelle
Hagumi: My pops said he got a flyer as well and that he'd absolutely be here today! And he said he'd help with the concert's after party!
Kanon: Fufufu. Good work Misaki-chan
Misaki: Composing a new song and handing out flyers... It's such a pain in the butt always having to do this...
Kaoru: Phwoar, take a look! That tree I see over there is fleetingly decorated
Misaki: Fleeting? More like it stands out like sore thumb
Hagumi: That reminds me, I wonder what time Michelle is getting here? Did she tell you Mi-kun?
Misaki: I believe she said... She would join us just before the concert starts
Kokoro: I can't wait until Michelle gets here! And of course Santa-san as well!
Hagumi: Ah, Kokoron. Did Santa-san reply to your letter?
Kokoro: I didn't get a reply. Didn't you get one either?
Hagumi: No I didn't~. I wonder if Santa-san knows about the party?
Kanon: I don't think you need to worry about that. Santa-san is a busy man so he probably didn't have enough time to write a response letter?
Hagumi: I see! That does sound plausible doesn't it! I was just worried about whether or not he received my letter~
Kaoru: Fufu, Santa-san isn't the kind of heartless monster to turn down an invitation from such adorable little kittens
Kokoro: OK then girls! Let's take a tour of the stage! And after that let's decorate the hall!
Hagumi: Alrighty then, We have the party's finish line in our sights! Let's do this~!
Kaoru: I made some fleeing decorations that will warm the very cockles of your heart
Kanon: Well then, Misaki-chan. Should we go as well?
Misaki: .....
Kanon: ...Hn? What is it?
Misaki: What do you mean "what is it?", what are we going to do about this? These girls are serious? The seriously wanted to invite Santa-san!?
Kanon: Sure looks like it...
Misaki: He's probably... I mean he absolutely is not going to come!
Misaki: Don't you think we should tell them the truth sooner rather than later?
Kanon: Truth? What is your version of the truth?
Misaki: Isn't that freaking obvious!? The truth is that... Santa-san isn't--
Kanon: You're wrong. Santa-san is real
Misaki: Wait what? Not you too~...?
Kanon: Fufufu, Not like that. The Santa-san I'm talking about is a little different from the one Kokoro-chan and Hagumi-chan are talking about
Misaki: And what do you mean by that?
Kanon: I thought about about this when Hagumi was telling me about her childhood. Maybe there are loads of santa-sans in this world
Misaki: ...Eh?
Kanon: I was thinking about how maybe we could call the people who give us all that love and kindness we feel during Christmas "Santa-san"
Misaki: All the love you get from Christmas....
Kanon: So it's probably fine that Hagumi has a Santa-san that "smells like croquettes" isn't it?
Misaki: ...
Kanon: So Santa-san is real. And I think that anyone can meet Santa-san and anyone can become Santa-san
Misaki: So Hagumi's...own Santa-san...
Kanon: And Hagumi said this a moment ago didn't she? That her father is coming here today...
Misaki: ...Ah
Kanon: See I told you, Santa-san was real wasn't he?
Misaki: I see, that's right...he is isn't he. Ah, now that you mention it my parents said they are coming as well
Kanon: Fufu, mine said they're coming as well
Kanon: She said that loads of other "Families are coming to see us" as well
Kanon: Let's do our best with today's concert so we can make all the "Santa-sans" smile
Misaki: You have a way with your words don't you Kanon-san... very persuasive~
Kokoro: Misaki~~! Kanon~~! What cha doing~~? Hurry up and come on over--!!
Misaki: Fine I get it, We're coming~! Well then, shall we go?
Kanon: Yeah!

[Chapter 5: An unforgettable Christmas party]
[Synopsis: A large crowd of people have already gathered in the garden, the place is brimming with smiles as they wait for the concert to start]

[Before the Christmas concert]
[Tsurumaki residence: Garden]

Kanon: So many guests turned up...
Misaki: They're packed in like sardines aren't they...
Kaoru: And the snow that just started to fall is fleetingly setting up the stage to spice up our concert
Hagumi: Ah, check it out! There are loads of children with their parents!! I wonder if my pops is already here? My hearts pounding like crazy!
Kokoro: Hnn~~~! Everyone has a fantastic smile on their face!
Hagumi: I think they'll be smiling a bunch more when the concert starts!
Kokoro: Christmas is really mysterious isn't it! I wonder why it makes everything feels like so it's much fun?
Hagumi: I thought the same! It's like you get all hyped up during Christmas don't you! It feels super strange!
Misaki: So girls...
Kaoru: What's the matter Misaki-chan? It looks like you're brooding over something...
Misaki: You know what, I don't really have any special memories of Christmas? or anything like that
Hagumi: Eh? You don't have any memories of Christmas?
Misaki: Aah, don't get me wrong. Of course I enjoy Christmas as well, like the parties my family held were really exciting?
Misaki: But how do I put this. It was nothing more or nothing less or something. it wasn't anything like those "unforgettable Christmas party" you girls had
Kokoro: Fufufu, What are you like Misaki, there you go again with your big words!
Misaki: Well, Kokoro probably won't get it but for Christmas I usually eat some cake, and some fried chicken, watch some TV with my family... and then go to bed, something like that?
Misaki: Thinking about it makes me feel like it's a super boring Christmas
Misaki: But you know what--
Misaki: Santa-san really is real
Misaki: I feel stupid saying it now that I'm a high school student but... ... Yeah, Santa-san is real
Misaki: I was thinking that maybe this is the best present of them all, me being able to say it out loud like that
Misaki: Christmas is great isn't it. I'm glad I get to spend the day with everyone...
Kokoro: That's amazing! So that means your "unforgettable Christmas party " is today's one doesn't it!
Kokoro: If so then we'll have to enjoy the heck out of it! This is something we can only do today!!
Hagumi: I'm all in---! Let's have the most funnest day ever--!
Kanon: Me too, I'll never forget today. I'll remember this day forever
Karou: Fufu, you're jumping the gun Kanon. The day is far from over. It's only just begun!
Misaki: Haha, hahahaha... You girls really crack me up~
Misaki: alright then, moving on...! Well then, shall we start the prepareations for our concert!? Oh what's this~, a phone call from Michelle. I'll go meet up with her~

[10 Minutes before the concert]

Michelle: Ten minutes until they raise the curtains~. You girls all ready?
Kokoro: I was born ready! You were pretty late yourself weren't you Michelle?
Michelle: My bad. It was snowing so I got a bit held up. but I'm all ready to go~
Kanon: Well then, shall we start preparing as well?
Hagumi: Wait a minute Kano-chan-senpai!
Kanon: Hn? What the matter?
Hagumi: I've been looking all over the place but it doesn't look like Santa-san is here yet...
Kokoro: Now that you mention it, I don't see Santa-san anywhere. I wonder what happened to him?
Kaoru: The main guest remains to be seen, so that's what's going on... But I don't think Santa-san would intentionally do anything to upset you girls...
Hagumi: What should we do... We can't start the concert before Santa-san gets here...
Kokoro: Maybe Santa-san got lost on his way here
Hagumi: Eeh!?
Kokoro: I did draw Santa-san a map on the letter I sent him but maybe he didn't understand it?
Kaoru: And this snow was enough to hold up Michelle. Maybe his sleigh is grounded somewhere...
Hagumi: That must be it! I think so too!
Hagumi: I'll go have a quick look for him!!
Michelle: Ah, wait up Hagumi!!
Michelle: ...And she's gone!
Michelle: (Gone looking for Santa-san... how on earth does she intend to find him..!?)
Michelle: (And besides that we can't start the concert without Hagumi...)
Michelle: Geez... why is it always me~...
Michelle: Kanon-san. I'm going to bring Hagumi back... I'll be back in a second so get ready to start the concert
Kanon: Misaki-chan...!?

[Ending: The best memory for Santa-san]
[Synopsis: Misaki chases after Hagumi. However the Michelle suit has its limits...]

[Residential district]

Michelle: *Pant* ... *Pant*... *Pant* ...
Michelle: Hagumi~~~~! Where did you run off to~~? Jesus Christ Hagumi~~!
Michelle: *Pant*...*Pant*...*Pant* Oh man... I can't bear running around in Michelle like this any more... ... I'm taking a break
Michelle: I'll just pop into this back alley

[Residential district: Back alley]

Misaki: ...Ahh~~~~~That was so painful~~
Misaki: It's dark here so it'll be fine for me to strip out of Michelle...
Misaki: Besides all of that, where on earth did Hagumi run off to? I hoped I'd just catch up to her in a flash but she's so damn fast...
Misaki: ...Now's not the time for that. If I don't hurry up and find Hagumi we won't be able to start the concert will we
Misaki: Oh crap!? Someone's coming...!!
Hagumi: Huh? I thought I just saw something move back there... Hnn~~ But it's too dark and I can't see anything... Hey, is there someone there?
Misaki: !?
Hagumi: Hn? I just saw some red clothes... Ah! Don't tell me that right in front of me is--
Hagumi: --Santa-san!?
Misaki: (Eh...? ... ... Eeeeeh!?)
Hagumi: It's true isn't it!? You're Santa-san aren't you?
Misaki: (It's like ... I'm being mistaken for Santa-san...!)
Misaki: (What the heck am I gonna do? What would Jesus do??)
Misaki: Ah...Eh? Hmm...
Hagumi: Hey, Santa-san! We're holding a concert so hurry up and come see it!! It's snowing really hard so if we don't hurry up and start all our guest will probably go home!
Misaki: (Well that is all true but... I aint no Santa-san)
Misaki: (Should I reveal myself as Michelle...?? No way... If I did that Hagumi would keep on looking for Santa-san...)
Hagumi: Hey, if you're Santa-san say something!!
Misaki: (What's the right thing... to do in this situation--)
Kanon: I was thinking about how maybe we could call the people who give us all that love and kindness we feel during Christmas "Santa-san"
Misaki: (I see... if so then)
Misaki: (I can... become Santa-san!!)
Misaki: *Cough*! That's right... I'm the great and powerful Santa-san, jya
Hagumi: Woah~! I knew it! If you don't get a move on the concert will start!!
Misaki: Sorry for worrying you little one... I went and got myself lost...jya
Hagumi: But I'm glad you made it! We're having a concert right now so come join the fun with us Santa-san! Also we prepared loads of your beloved croquettes!!
Misaki: Fho Fho Fho... Thanks a bunch. Well aren't you just the most precious little scamp, Hagumi-chan~
Hagumi: It wasn't just me! It was thanks to the Hello happy girls! They're my special friends! Have "the best day ever" Santa-san!!
Misaki: I...
Misaki: I... I love you, and all your friends...jya
Misaki: Today's Christmas party is unforgettable...and my best memory, jya
Hagumi: For real!? Woohoo----!!
Misaki: Now my child, isn't it about time you ran off to your concert. Your guests and friends are waiting for you. I'll be there listening
Hagumi: Yeah! I got it! Santa-san, thank you so much for coming today! Follow me so you don't get lost
Hagumi: Alrighty then, let's go---!!
Michelle: ...Oh my god~~, that was close~~. I never in my widest dreams thought that I would become Santa-san...
Michelle: ...Wait, oh crap! I better get a move on as well!

[Tsurumaki residence: Christmas concert stage]

Kanon: Hagumi-chan is late isn't she... We better start soon, we can't let our audience wait any longer...
Kokoro: What are you even worried about Kanon? Hagumi's already on her way back
Kanon: I think so too but, Michelle isn't here yet either...
Kaoru: ...Hn? Fufu, looks like Kokoro was right. Take a look over there
Hagumi: Sorry for holding you girls up~~~~~~!! Santa-san did get lost after all!! I showed him the way!!
Kokoro: Amazing!! So that means you met Santa-san didn't you!!
Hagumi: And he said he would be watching our concert!
Kanon: Eh? Hagumi-chan, you spoke to Santa-san...?
Hagumi: Fufufu~~~n♪ I'll tell you all the details after the concert!
Kaoru: So all the only one left now is...
Michelle: *Pant*...*Pant*...*Pant*...I'm, back...
Hagumi: Argh! Michelle!? Where did you run off to!?
Kaoru: Michelle was worried about you so she went looking for you
Hagumi: Eh!? Were you!? Thank you Michelle!! I brought Santa-san with me so there's nothing to worry about!!
Michelle: Yeah, I know that. Anyway it's starting time? We have to hurry up and get on stage
Kokoro: Everyone~~~, it's Christmas day! You all ready to have the best day ever!?
Kaoru: Fufu, I apologise for making you all wait. We'll melt all this pesky snow with the passion from our concert
Hagumi: Hey Santa-san~~~!! Smile a bunch while you listen to our concert! Thanks for making Christmas fun every year!
Michelle: Then let's kick everything off! Hello happy's Christmas concert is about to start! Jya
