Amlan and Danica, newlyweds for Xmas-season cozying, had found themselves in an American Homeland area of hometown life holidays-shopping, at the mall, and took-break at the Chinese mini-eatery dive, where the owner/sage gave them a precocious and quite-peculiar magic-pet gift offer for Xmas that year that sent them on quite the Earthling/American misadventure of 'know' proportion(s).

AMLAN: I fed the creature, the Gremlin-pet gifted, we named Gizmo, post-12AM.

DANICA: Why?
AMLAN: I know, hon...the Chinese mall-eats owner sage warned us (12AM).

DANICA: You weren't supposed to feed the Gremlin Gizmo pet after midnight.

AMLAN: It's Xmas, hon...can't be too disastrous (Facebook-like).

Amlan was dead-wrong. When he fed Gizmo the magical gifted pet post-12AM at his American Homeland home that Xmas-season, despite the omen-message of the Chinese sage who gifted the pet for careful love that year, Gizmo multiplied into two...and the 'clone' was anything but magical or cute or loving. The multiple, the (evil) 'clone' generated, a troll-like being Amlan called the Stripe, created pure mayhem and terror, despite his small size. Sure, Gizmo offered some facial-expressions of worry and love, but Gizmo (the original 'Gremlin') was too small to help Amlan and Danica, the now-threatened Earthlings/Americans (newlyweds). Amlan knew he'd now have to restore sanity and generate some story-tell for the town in terror as a comic artist to generate Xmas-season magic goodness (Facebook-like!).

DANICA: What the heck is that gun?
AMLAN: It's a home-made water-acid gun; a water-gun converted to shoot acid.

DANICA: Well, we know we chased the Stripe (troll) into the mall.

AMLAN: Maybe the Stripe sensed his pre-genesis origins for some Xmas-wrath, eh?

DANICA: What do you intend to do with your 'acid'-gun toy now, hon?

AMLAN: We'll tell the mall Chinese eatery-sage we'll get the troll with acid (ha).

DANICA: We can't fail, hubby, lest this town-mayhem continues and we're outcast.

AMLAN: Our Xmas-'25 year Hail-Mary begins for a mall-shootout, wife (damn).
