Amlan and Ezzy had become a nice newlywed couple of Buffalo-NY town when Xmas-'25 season fast approached and found them in their local shopping-complex enjoying a Chinese mall food court bowl of noodles when the Asian-eats both owner, claiming he was a sage of some kind, offered them a magical-pet for Xmas-responsibility feelings. At first, Amlan/Ezzy didn't know (surely) what to say but agreed the magical and very-unusual creature-pet (called a 'Gremlin') was adorable...and so they decided to become its adoptive care-givers and named it 'Gizmo' (Facebook-like!).

SAGE: I've been working in the food-court of this mall for some-time now, friends.

AMLAN/EZZY: Thanx for the Gremlin-pet present for this Xmas-season, sir.

SAGE: I know I've gifted 'Gizmo' to the right-newlyweds for Xmas...take good IQ.

AMLAN/EZZY: IQ, sir?
SAGE: Gremlins are precious and require much duty-consciousness for care, ok?

AMLAN/EZZY: Of course, sir!

SAGE: Never ever ever ever feed your magical pet post-12AM, friends (farewell).

AMLAN/EZZY: Facebook-like.

All was well on the evening of the day Amlan and Ezzy brought home their Gremlin-pet from their Buffalo-town shopping-complex, gifted to them by the Asian-eatery sage/owner. They played with Gizmo by their put-up Xmas-tree in their lovely/shared American Homeland home and drank too much wine. Amlan carelessly fed the Gremlin after midnight, against the omen-prescription stated by the Chinese sage who gifted Gizmo. When Amlan/Ezzy awoke the following morning, on an (otherwise) normal/glorious snowy Saturday-AM, they noticed 'Gizmo' had multiplied into two small-sized creatures, with one being a hideous...and evil troll. Ezzy called the troll-abomination 'Stripe' (for its white-streaked hair on its troll-head. Amlan screamed in panic. What would they do (now)?

AMLAN: Let's feed Gizmo/Stripe some of this Indian luchi-bread, wife.

EZZY: Gizmo seems wary and scared...Stripe's quite a handful, hon.

AMLAN: Stripe's quite mischievous, and he seems itchy to escape from our house.

EZZY: If he got out and made a town-fright, we'd have to be the responsible ones.

AMLAN: That's truth, Ezzy...maybe this luchi-bread shall keep both pets calm.

EZZY: Well, this maybe just might become an Xmas not to forget, for corrections.

AMLAN: Right (Selfie-like).
