It was the night before Christmas
And while on his laptop,
He was browsing PC,
When a message popped up!
The PM he opened,
Was a plea just for him!
The hstaff were desperate.
Their prospects looked dim.
So they went just to one person,
They needed a hero!
To mod A and D,
Who they needed was Dero!
But becoming a mod,
Is a difficult task.
A quest is involved,
For three things hstaff asked...
"We need someone with guts,
Who is smart, quick and ready.
To take back this section,
And make it less dead please!
So to prove you're not Tom,
And in fact more like Jerry.
You must wrestle back Red,
From a Peach that's Binary.
For your second most task,
Is a GFX battle.
You must challenge your pair,
And win, then skedaddle...
To your trickiest task,
And please don't object!
It's a very long test,
On a random subject.
Do you think you can do it?"
Hstaff asked him with glee,
"You have until midnight,
And it's now ten thirty."
And Dero just smiled,
with a cavalier grin,
"I know I can do it,
I know I can win!"
"Good," replied hstaff,
We know we'll be proud.
You can finish these tasks,
Your time starts... now!
So off Dero raced,
Leaping straight off his bed,
He had to crawl under,
The bed of Red!
And there Tara was waiting,
Protecting her prize
But Dero was ready,
He could see in her eyes...
That she wanted a sig,
A cool one of Ash.
So quickly he made one,
And was off with a flash!
Racing back to his laptop
He prepared for his fight
He would take down his mentor
On this very night.
The crowds were all cheering,
"Go moments!" "Go Dero!"
As the battle began,
Doubt filled our hero!
Could he really defeat,
His very own pair?
And his mentor as well,
This didn't seem fair!
Dero toiled and worked,
And soon he was done!
And before he knew it,
The battle was won!
But the clock then chimed loudly,
Half an hour to twelve!
"How could he do it?"
He questioned himself.
When he got to the test room
Ten minutes had past,
He looked down with dread,
At his very last task!
Two hundred there were,
Questions some would deem hard.
But Dero was lucky,
And he laid down his guard.
For the questions were all,
On One Piece, HE LOVED IT!
He answered each one,
And quickly had done it!
Right then it was midnight,
And the hstaff all cheered
He now was a mod!
He'd soon be revered!
What a great Christmas present,
A good end to the year.
The tasks were all over,
The path was now clear!
After all this excitement,
Dero went straight to bed,
And visions of thread-locking,
Danced in his head.
