Chapter Eleven [Video]
Who: Richard Castle and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Castle's room at the resort
When: December 22nd. Apologies to the creators of A Christmas Story.
[When Castle begins broadcasting, the traditional Festivus pole can be seen behind him in his fairy tale-themed room.]
Howdy, folks! I finally managed to win a prize through betting on the space ponies, so I thought I'd share in this Festivus miracle and open the crate live on television.
[And Castle pans down to show a fairly large crate with alien writing all over it. It reads "FRAGILE", though of course Castle doesn't know it. When he pries it open, there's a lot of packing inside, and so he carefully brushes it aside to reveal...
... a lamp. But not just any lamp. This is a lamp made of a distinctly alien-looking mannequin leg, complete with a metallic high-heeled shoe straight out of 50's sci-fi art, and adorned with a lampshade on top. Castle is lost for words for a moment.]
Uh... I, uh... that... that's some prize there. One might... might call it a major award in fact. I'd be willing to let someone take it off my hands, though.

Well, I am sure should we ever come across such a culture you shall break many hearts and only add to your legend.

Oh, wouldn't that be nice? I could even turn it into a short story. The dashing writer faces fans and groupies from every direction, and yet, alas, he remains steadfastly loyal to his betrothed. People would lap it up.

[ He gasped. ]
I would never have expected such an honor!

I am deeply honored then, Richard, though I can't imagine what I could have done.
