Christmastime at the Cunninghams'

[FonzFan82]

Ch 5:

Later that day, Richie was on his computer, searching the online shopping websites, trying to get ideas what to give Potsie for Christmas that year. He hadn't much time left to go shopping for his friends and family but he wasn't sure on ideas for gifts. That's when Fonzie came into the house. He was breathing cold air into the house. Richie heard him walk in and got off the computer to say hello.

"Hi, Fonzie," Richie said, watching Fonzie take off his black jacket.

"I just saw Potsie," Fonzie said.

"How is Potsie?" Richie asked.

"He don't look good," Fonzie answered.

"That's a shame. When is he able to come out of the hospital?" Richie asked.

Fonzie shrugged his shoulders and said, "I haven't heard."

"I talked to Ralph and passed the news over to him so he knows," Richie said, "and he thought if Potsie doesn't come home for Christmas to us, we could bring Christmas to him."

"That's a great idea, Red! Just how are we going to bring Christmas to Potsie?" Fonzie asked.

"That's something we're going to think about," Richie said.

"I have news for you," Fonzie said.

"What's that?" Richie asked.

"Joanie asked me to perform Potsie's Christmas performances at the Grand Ole Opry. I had to audition for Potsie. He said I was hired," Fonzie said.

Richie laughed when he heard the news.

"What? I don't think that's very funny at all," Fonzie said.

"Why are you taking over Potsie's performances for?" Richie asked after calming down.

"Potsie asked me after agreeing with Joanie because I was his only choice to take over since he couldn't because of his back and he didn't want to cancel out. I said I would think about it and I did and I'm going to do it," Fonzie said.

"Good luck," Richie said.

That night in bed, Richie brought Lori Beth up - to - date on what happened that day while she did the same thing.

"Just how are we going to bring Christmas to Potsie, Richie?" Lori Beth asked.

"We still haven't figured that one out yet. I'm sure we'll think of something," Richie said.

"I'm sure you will," Lori Beth said.

As Richie and Lori Beth made the final arrangements for Christmas Eve, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Lori Beth offered as she got out of bed to put on her slippers and robe.

Richie decided to tell Lori Beth once she was back in bed that night during his conversation with Ralph earlier today Ralph might be joining them for Christmas but he wasn't sure so he sent his Christmas gifts in the mail in case he didn't make it. That's when Lori Beth returned to the master bedroom.

"I'm back," Lori Beth said, taking her robe and slippers off and got back under the covers once again.

"I talked with Ralph today, Lori Beth. He said his Christmas gifts are on their way," Richie said.

"All right. We just got some packages. Amazon and L. L. Bean," Lori Beth said.

"Thanks. I've been busy ordering gifts today."
