Amp Up the Lights

Amp Up the Lights is a HTFF Break.

Starring

 * Amp
 * Irin and The Clams

Appearances

 * Tarsy
 * Chroma

Plot
Amp plugs a cord of Christmas lights that are strung all over his house. Irin, assisting him, is mesmerized by the bright flashing colors. The Clams hop out of their tank and start biting the bulbs. Amp shoos them away, but then sees that some clams have somehow managed to get on the roof. He attempts to ward them off by throwing snowballs.

Meanwhile, Tarsy and Chroma are also drawn to the beautiful lights. A clam bites a bulb and causes it to spark, setting the house aflame. The other bulbs shortly pop in the fashion of firecrackers. Chroma develops a seizure from all the colors, while a clam lands in Tarsy's mane and attacks him. Irin, of course, remains blissfully unaware and continues gazing (or rather, squinting) at the light display.

As the clams retreat, Amp watches helplessly as his home is engulfed in flames. He sees something in the sky that at first he assumes is a star. It turns out to be a firecracker rocket that smashes him in the face. More fireworks then appear in the sky and spell out "Have a Happy New Year!".

Deaths

 * 1) Chroma dies of a seizure (debatable).
 * 2) Tarsy is eaten by a clam.
 * 3) Amp is hit by a rocket.

Trivia

 * This was originally planned as a Kringle and then a full episode, but it didn't fit either categories; the former because it didn't have much to do with Christmas and the latter because the plot was too short.
 * That said, it can be considered a late Christmas episode because of the lights and its release date.
 * Daydream was planned to appear but got replaced by Chroma.
