Anne Marie ruins Thanksgiving

In the living room of the Strife house, Cloud Strife was attempting to make a fire with a pair of bellows. His pet toon rabbit, Roger Rabbit, entered to remind him.

"That's no way to light a fire!" said Roger, "Where's your kindling?"

"This thing's gonna be going anytime now." said Cloud, as Bunnie Rabbot, Marine the Raccoon, and Rouge the Bat entered the living room, as well.

"Even a caveman could start a fire." said Rouge.

"D'oh!" Cloud muttered.

Suddenly, Cloud, Roger, Bunnie, Marine, and Rouge heard Cloud's wife, Aerith Gainsborough, calling from the dining room. "Dinner! Dinnertime, everybody!" she called in a singsong voice, "Dinner!"

Then Cloud stopped lighting a fire with the bellows, put them down, and came into the dining room. "Oh, thank goodness!" he said.

Once everyone was at the table, Aerith called to her son, Boo Boo Bear, to come into the dining room next. "OK, Boo Boo!" she said, "We're ready for your centerpiece!"

Then Boo Boo came into the dining room, holding a three-dimensional centerpiece of a cornucopia, pilgrims, Thanksgiving food, real life turkeys, and Native American Indians. Cloud, Aerith, Roger, Bunnie, Marine, and Rouge were impressed at BooBoo's work of art.

"Boo Boo, my goodness!" gasped Aerith, "That's very impressive!"

"Holy moly!" Cloud exclaimed, "That's the biggest work of art I've ever seen!"

"We always said he was gifted." said Bunnie.

"Definitely from our side of the family." replied Marine.

"How long did that take you, honey?" Rouge asked her nephew.

"I couldn't tell you how many hours, days, weeks, or months." said Boo Boo. "It was the labor of love towards those we hold dear, especially my friend, Yogi. It's our homage to some American heroes who may not have fought in any wars, but who never...."

It was then that Boo Boo's sister, Anne Marie, was last to come into the dining room, singing the 1982 fanfare from the MGM/UA Home Video logo. She was holding an enormous roast turkey.

"Speaking of heroes, here's mine: Tom Turkey!" smiled Cloud, holding up a fork and carving knife while chuckling.

"Oh, yikes!" exclaimed Anne Marie in disgust, "What is that?"

"It's the centerpiece, Anne Marie." said Boo Boo.

"Well, it's taking up so much space!" complained Anne Marie, elbowing, Boo Boo's centerpiece.

"Hey, Anne Marie!" Boo Boo cried, "Stop it!"

"Move it or lose it, bear!"

"Mama!"

"Now just a minute. I'm sure there's room for both." said Aerith.

At that moment, Boo Boo and Anne Marie got into a tug-of-war with the centerpiece.

"Anne Marie, you're wrecking it; let go!" shouted Boo Boo, "Yogi and I worked forever on this!"

Cloud, Aerith, Roger, Bunnie, Marine, and Rouge watched the whole conflict between Boo Boo and Anne Marie without saying a word. And with that, Anne Marie tossed Boo Boo's centerpiece into the burning fireplace and smiled cruelly at her brother.

Boo Boo screamed in terror when he saw his creation burn.

"Hey, that got him going!" smirked Roger.

"Ditchin'!" exclaimed Anne Marie.

Boo Boo grabbed a poker and tried to fish the creation out of the fire, but it was burned down to nothing but a complete pile of ashes. That's when Boo Boo got furious! "ANNE MARIE!!!" he shouted. He tackled Anne Marie and started biting her, pulling her hair, and punching her in the face, almost knocking over the stuff on the table. "You don't even care! You don't even care!"

Cloud and Aerith broke up the fight by pulling their daughter and son away and restraining them. Then Boo Boo escaped from Aerith and ran to his room in tears, where his friend, Yogi Bear, was waiting for him, and slammed the door.

Cloud angrily put Anne Marie down, and he confronted her. "All right, Anne Marie! That's it!" he shouted angrily, "Go to your room! Now!"

Anne Marie played dumb. "Ok, I'll take some white meat and stuffing to go. And send up the pumpkin pie in about twenty minutes."

"I said now!" snarled Cloud.

"Mommy, do I have to?" asked Anne Marie.

"Yes, you do!" Aerith scolded a guilty Anne Marie, "I hope you're happy, Anne Marie! You've ruined Thanksgiving!!"

Anne Marie became very angry. She glared angrily at Cloud and Aerith and yelled, "You two are as evil as Mr. Carface!" And she stormed to her own room, where her two pet dogs, Charlie Barkin and Itchy, were waiting for her.
