Stanley Pines looked in the mirror at the old red sweater that belonged to his estranged brother, wherever he was. He stared at his stomach, his face, the square glasses finishing off the con man’s mask he had been wearing for 29 years. It was time for the annual Mystery Shack Holiday Party.
I hope I fit in
This old sweater
Cause I can’t afford one that fits better
Must be bloated
From my dinner
Cause just last year my reflection was thinner
He hadn’t really changed in those thirty years. Even with the real ford gone, he was still just a screw up running a shack of lies in the middle of nowhere. With Ford’s luck he’s probably sailing with someone at least competent, not a man who ruins everything.
When it’s been a year
Christmas is here
And family is near to say
My how much you’ve changed
If his parents could see him now, counting cash and yelling at children who had vandalized the sign outside, they would probably only feel shame, the son who faked his own death and probably killed his own brother! How would Shermie even feel?
I got two sisters
They both got misters
Maybe this year
I’ll bring back a misses
But I just can’t yet
Understand it
Every year I came home empty handed Ain’t it funny how they know
I’ll have nothing there to show
Divorced twice and pushing seventy something, yet Shermie’s got two grandkids already. He wondered if Ford would have found anyone by now, his true love would probably be geometry or something if he hasn’t changed yet. If he’s even alive…
When it’s been a year
Christmas is here
Family is near to say
My how things don’t change
Every single year the mystery shack throws a holiday party, and every single year it goes horribly wrong. But at least he could spend the holidays around Soos and Wendy, but even then they went home eventually. When they did, he was just a sad old man who will try to save his brother for eternity if he has too. But even then, he might run out of time.
Oh and what a year it’s been
And now it’s finally here again
The time of year that you fear
But you know
That you don’t want it to end
Who knows, next year might be even more hectic, more children will destroy things, more weird monsters will appear. But it will never be the same without Ford. No matter what happens, he can’t give up on him yet, not when he has so little to lose.
It’s been a year
Christmas is here
Family is near to say
Why don’t things just stay
The same
The party was finally over, and Stanley was left wondering what would’ve happened if they had stayed together. If he hadn’t of broken the machine, if they could still celebrate together like they did when they were little. After all, he really is just the screw up.
Thank you again for the request! Please send anymore you have! I AM OPEN TO CRITICISM! JUST PUT IT IN MY INBOX
