Something strange was about to happen. Everyone could see it. The Doors hadn't opened and the Box came up with strange supplies that they wouldn't need on a day it didn't usually come up. There were coats, gloves, winter boots and a hat. And a note saying:
Better cover the Gardens today.
"Well, I think they're shucking us." Minho said in an awed whisper. It was almost like the Creators were going to make it snow in a place that had no rain, snow or any other weather pattern.
"Look! There's a pine tree here with decorations made for it in a box next to it." Newt said.
Frypan got all excited when he found the turkey and some other food preparations in the bottom of the Box.
"We're going to have enough food for a week! A week of no real work. How is that even possible?"
"Hey you shanks! Quit gawkin' and start workin'!" Alby barked. "Any of you remember how a Christmas celebration is supposed to work?"
Everyone hopped to. They found several CD's and a player in there too. They listened to Christmas carols and baked cookies with the supplies sent. No presents. They guessed that the Creators didn't want them to have personal belongings. As soon as the greenhouse canopy had been pulled over the Gardens, snow began to fall from the sky. How this was possible they didn't know, as it was still clear blue. They built snow castles and igloos, they had some snowball fights and snowmen. There was laughter and singing and everyone felt truly happy for the first time in a very long time.
As beetle blades wear running around, Thomas and Teresa, Aris and Rachael were watching everyone.
"Guess this is one time that I wish Chuck had been sent up there this soon." Teresa said.
"No way. I still don't want to go there. I still don't want Chuck and Marie up in those Mazes." Thomas responded.
"Still, this was a great idea Thomas. Maybe we should do something for Easter for them too." Aris said.
"No way. By then, we'll all be up there. And WICKED sure won't think of it on their own." Rachael chimed. Then, WICKED advisers entered the screen room and away they were sent.
A/N I made up Marie's name for Chuck's Group B counterpart. She's named for Marie Curie. It just sounded like a bouncy name for a bouncy girl in Group B.:) Hope you like it. And it doesn't take long to leave a review.:)
