/ctt/: 'Twas The Night Before Christmas (Poem)

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even PC's mouse.
The console-tans were resting after another Tuesday,
With hopes that new vidya would soon come their way.

2DS was sleeping comfortably in her bed,
With her sister 3DS, who was stroking her head.
The girls were both resting, tucked in for the night,
After an evening of vidya, and Smash Bros delights.

SNES was in her nightgown, texting as she dozed,
Trying to stay awake with her loving lesbo.
An evening of phone calls and sweet remarks,
Filled her heart with cheers, and her love with sparks.

Gamecube was asleep, playing Zelda from her bed,
Her nightlight and TV keeping monsters from her head.
Her dreams were full of childhood wonders,
Her Red Lion boat full of sunken plunders.

The Gameboy sisters were all in their bunks,
One of them dreaming of the Gameboy hunks.
Two of them were tall, one short and wide,
Even in bed, the last one still loved to hide.

But all through the home of the Nintendo family,
Not everyone was comfy, nor filled with glee.
One of these -tans was filled with despair,
And was on the verge of ripping out hair.

Wii-U was upset with the recent addition,
Of the newest sister, a design still in decision.
Her poor sales and library left her depressed,
But this newest console really made her a mess.

And on this quiet night, Wii-U would decide,
That her inclusion in the family had officially died.
Her console out of production, her prices still up,
Her spotlight stolen by a few girls and a pup.

There would be no gifts for Wii-U under this tree,
She would be gone by the morning, thinking to flee.
Wracked with grief, shown up by a handheld,
She may as well been, from the start, cancelled.

And as she opened the front door, ready to leave,
She heard a quiet voice that she couldn't believe!
"H-hey W-Wii-U, where you going?" the shy voice asked,
She turned to see Vita, a system of failures passed!

"Oh, Vita, I was just, uh... Well you see, I..."
"I was going for a walk!" she attempted to lie.
The night owl yawned, likely just having woke,
"M-mind if I go with?" she stuttered as she spoke.

Wii-U paused, worried she had been caught,
But thought for a second, and decided 'why not'.
The two girls grabbed their coats and stepped out the door,
And quietly closed it while the others were left to snore.

"H-hey Wii-U," Vita started, "something got you feeling down?"
How did she figure it out so quickly? Was it maybe the frown?
"Oh, it's nothing, just a bit of seasonal depression."
She lied once again, not ready for a confession.

"Well if I had to guess, I'd say it might be that new Switch,
I felt the same way when PS4 started acting like a bitch.
With no new games planned, and my sales quickly falling,
Sometimes I just felt like sitting in my room bawling."

Wii-U was a bit shocked after being read with such ease,
As the wind rolled through, making her shiver and freeze.
Wii-U rubbed her hands, realizing she had forgotten her mitts,
"Mind if I hold your hand?" Wii-U asked, Vita losing her wits.

The two girls held hands as they walked side by side,
As Wii-U thought over her deeply hurt pride.
Maybe the young handheld beside her knew what it was like,
Being overshadowed, forgotten, and becoming ghost-like.

"I-it gets easier with time, you start to feel numb."
Wii-U listened as she brushed Vita's hand with her thumb.
"And b-besides, your sisters and family are all really nice,
And you can always c-come v-visit m--" she was cut off as she slipped on ice.

Wii-U helped her shy friend back on to her feet,
And decided to go home, back to the heat.
Wii-U spoke, "It was a nice walk, I enjoyed it a lot."
"M-me too..." Vita replied, already feeling hot.

Wii-U smiled, and leaned in close to the young miss,
And planted upon her lips a sweet, gentle kiss.
Vita was shocked, instantly red in the face,
But returned the kiss happily, even if with little grace.

Their lips pulled away, and Vita was stuck in a daze,
"Merry Christmas, Vita." Wii-U spoke, looking into her eyes agazed.
"M-m-mu-merry Ch-chri--" Vita stuttered and stumbled,
Wii-U giggled at her words, ever so jumbled.

She walked the young girl back up to 2DS' room,
Where their slumber party happened, she would assume.
"H-hey, Wii-U? Just for tonight, c-can I sleep with you?"
"Ara ara~" Wii-U said, "I suppose I can make due."

The two ladies changed to just undies and PJs,
And got cozy in the bed, where for the night they would lay.
Now all of the console-tans had presents with their names,
Even if Vita still had no games.
