AMLAN: Well we'd been enjoying our Xmas-season night, more or less, with pets.

EZZY: Well, Gizmo and the mutant deviant-born Stripe seemed to get-along.

AMLAN: Well, until, as we sort of predicted, wife...Stripe engaged in his own 'art.'

EZZY: The troll's a hellraiser, hubby....and it fled our home and we chased it, ok.

AMLAN: We know it sneaked into the shopping-complex in Buffalo, so we know.

EZZY: We have to find the next-move here for town-fright, Amlan (Selfie-like).

Sure, darling newlyweds of Buffalo-NY town, knew that the mutant-born 'Stripe' (an abomination multiplied from Amlan and Ezzy's otherwise darling small-size magical-creature pet gifted to them, 'Gizmo') sneaked into the Buffalo-town mall on the day/eve it was born, following the night when it was 'engendered' because of Amlan's foolish feeding of it post-12AM. The sage who gifted them the original/lovable Gremlin-pet, a mall Chinese-eatery owner/sage, warned them not to, but Amlan drank too much wine and lost-track of time itself (damn). Now, Amlan and Ezzy wondered what to do about the fact that on this day/night after, Stripe the mutant-born troll, was roaming around their hometown-area shopping complex (Selfie-like).

AMLAN: I just called Mall-Security ('MS') and was informed Stripe stole a chainsaw.

EZZY: Buzz.

AMLAN: Well, we gotta do something now, Ezzy (Facebook-like).

EZZY: Well, we'd tell that mall Chinese-eatery sage we tried to see the pets play.

AMLAN: It seemed like Gizmo and Stripe got-along fine...at first (at least).

EZZY: Stripe's an abomination, hubby...it started playing mischief-tune of Hell.

AMLAN: I'm gonna make an acid-gun (HCL) with my water-gun and glass-tubes.

EZZY: Why, man?

AMLAN: If we can corner the troll (in the mall) with acid-threat and use a cage?

EZZY: That's sharp, Amlan man...we need only to find where it is, inside mall.

AMLAN: We'll be the heroes to redeem our own error here, Ezzy (damn).

There it was, the Gremlin-troll born as mutant, 'engendered' from the lovable (original) Gremlin Gizmo's magical-body, Stripe the anarchy-maker, bathing in the shopping-complex water-fountain when Amlan/Ezzy (antiheroes?) discovered it/him. Amlan had his fashioned home-made 'acid-gun' and Ezzy the cage to slam it into post-acid threats to disorient the creature of darkness. Amlan wondered if Stripe would try to bite Ezzy or use its stolen chainsaw, laid on the floor next to the mall-fountain, should he miss with his 'acid-gun' shots to Stripe's feet to (simply/only) disorient the evil thing. However, Amlan stayed confident, knowing (somehow) he'd scare Stripe just-enough to grab it and throw it in the cage Ezzy would shut tight (to return, alongside Gizmo the loving-Gremlin pet) to the mall Chinese eatery-owner/sage. The Xmas-misadventure continued.
