A/N: I know Christmas was last month, but here's a festive story based on an RP with thunder pony, we only own our OC's, Forte belongs to Disney, everyone else belongs to Kay Thompson and the movie crew who made this film. Read & Review!
A horse-drawn carriage was bringing a familiar family as there was Cherry holding a bundle in her arms with her family, her husband, Forte, and their daughter Felicity as they came into New York in front of the Plaza Hotel while an adult couple with twin children were waiting for them. It was Atticus, Mo, and their children, Akito and Estelle, but Atticus couldn't stay long, he had a case to solve in France.
Felicity bounced out, smiling at Akito and Estelle. "Bonjour, Akito and Estelle! It has been a while."
Forte stepped out, seeing the Fudo family for the first time.
"Yeah, it sure has, cuz." Akito said.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Forte," Atticus said. "And I wish I could stay, but I have case to solve in France, but I'll try to back in time for Christmas."
Felicity hugged Akito and Estelle.
"What's happened?" Forte asked as he helped Cherry out as she held the baby in her arms, who was covered up from the others to keep warm.
"A man was murdered in his own house, I've been called to solve the case." Atticus said.
"Good luck, Uncle Atticus." Felicity told the man.
"I know he can do it," Mo beamed. "Oh, Cherry, is that your baby?"
"Yes, everyone, meet Simon..." Cherry uncovered the baby, showing he was pale as Forte and also had ebony hair and seemed to have chocolate-brown eyes like Cherry, even had a tiny mole under his cheek.
"Aw! He's so adorable." Estelle said.
"He's not doing anything..." Akito looked.
"He's only a baby," Cherry said as she held Simon close, then handed him a rather sharp toy. "Here, sweetie."
Simon clutched the toy that looked like a deathly weapon and started to slash around with it, though not harming anyone with it.
"Do you need help on this case?" Forte asked Atticus.
"No, thanks." Atticus said as he was waiting for the horse-drawn carriage that would take him to the airport.
"Monsieur Valjean..." Cherry came to the driver. "Pourrait vous prendre mon ami à le aéroport?"
"Oui, Madame." the driver replied, allowing Atticus to go in.
"Be careful, okay?" Mo hugged her husband.
Felicity stood next to Akito and Estelle as they looked anxious to see their father go. As their father went off to the airport, Estelle was worried about her father.
"It will be okay, Estelle..." Felicity attempted to soothe.
"Come on, let's get you all inside before you freeze." Forte said, linking arms with Cherry and walking into the Plaza Hotel with them.
The hotel looked busy around Christmas time, everyone just hoped they would be able to get checked in and spend the holiday in New York.
"Ever since I was a young girl, I've wanted to spend my first Christmas away from home in New York..." Cherry looked around as they looked for the front desk.
"Your first Christmas was with me..." Forte reminded her with a smirk.
"And I suffered from six years of nightmares for that, thank you very much!" Cherry glared up at him.
While they were looking for the front desk, Estelle began to practice her ballet dancing.
"Welcome to the Plaza Hotel," the man behind his desk greeted. "I am the manager, Mr. Salamone."
"Hello, Monsieur Salamone..." Cherry smirked, seeming to be flirting with the man.
Felicity giggled and was doing what Estelle was doing, not mocking the girl, but just having fun with her. They then noticed another little girl.
"Who is she?" Felicity whispered to the twins.
"We don't know." Akito shrugged.
The little girl had her hair short and down, blonde with a pink hair ribbon, wearing a white blouse with a black jumper, white knee socks, and black shoes as she rang the bell, cutting in front of the adults with their children. "Good morning, Mr. Salamone," she smiled, turning to the group. "Are these new guests?"
"Yes, dear, we are, we're about to check in." Mo replied gently.
"Yeah and we're staying here for the holiday." Estelle said.
"Oh, great, you have kids too!" the girl sounded excited.
"Good morning, Eloise..." Mr. Salamone droned to the hyperactive blonde girl.
Forte took a hold of Simon, seeing Cherry's arms getting tired. "Little girl, we're busy right now, why don't you go off to your parents?"
"But my mommy's not here right now, she'll be back in time for Christmas though!" Eloise continued her chipper activity like a spring squirrel, not seeming to have any worry in her body.
"She seems a bit hyper." Akito said.
"Yeah..." Estelle agreed.
"Eloise, why don't you run off and play while I help these three grown-ups?" Mr. Salamone sounded impatient with the hotel's resident mischief maker.
"You guys can come with me, I'll show you around the hotel while your parents are busy." Eloise smiled at the three of them.
Felicity looked up to her parents, a little worried.
"Go ahead, enfant... It'll be good for you..." Forte looked down to his daughter.
Akito, Estelle, and Felicity went with Eloise.
"I'm Eloise," the girl told them as they walked off on their own. "I'm six and I live here in the Plaza Hotel!"
"By yourself?" Felicity sounded concerned.
"Oh, no, I live in a room with Nanny, Weenie, and Skipperty." Eloise explained with her cheerful smile.
"Who are Weenie and Skipperty?" Estelle asked.
"My dog and my turtle," Eloise explained as she led them to the elevator. "Pets usually aren't allowed in the building, but my mommy made an exception with the hotel staff. Mr. Salamone's the hotel manager, Max is the elevator attendant..." she was thinking of people to tell the visitors about like she does to any hotel guests with children close to her age.
"Cool." Akito said.
"Charlie the doorman is always happy to see me," Eloise showed them the front door to the man who was often opening it for people. "Hi, Charlie!"
"Good morning, Eloise," Charlie saluted. "Who are your friends?"
Eloise turned to the three of them. "I'm sorry, what are your names?"
"My name is Akito Fudo and this is my sister, Estelle Fudo, and this is our cousin, Felicity Forte." Akito said.
"Nice to meet you all," Charlie replied. "Stay out of trouble now, hear?"
"Yes, Charlie!" Eloise beamed, then continued to show Akito, Estelle, and Felicity around the Plaza. "Bonjour, Bob!"
"Bonjour, Miss Eloise." the man at the telephone told her, too busy to talk with them, but didn't want to be rude.
"He seems to be busy." Akito said.
"Everyone here is my best friend," Eloise smiled as she skipped along. "And then there's Prunella..."
"Prunella?" Felicity, Akito, and Estelle asked.
"Yes, Prunella..." Eloise explained who the woman was and how she had to be nice to her despite the woman being a bit rude towards her.
"Wow." Estelle said.
"She's so stubborn for Lord's sake!" Eloise got in their faces, then had a cheerful child smile as she came to the woman's desk as she was with a man. "Hi, I'm Eloise, are you starting a party here? My new friends and I would absolutely love to come!"
"Eloise, tell your new friends that I'm perfectly capable of handling this myself..." Prunella seemed to had been trying to get rid of the blonde girl, but not flat out yelling at her.
"Prunella is very capable." Eloise continued to be there and took the man off with her new friends.
"She seems more on work then being nice." Estelle said.
Prunella caught up. "ELOISE!" she nearly sounded angry.
Luckily, Eloise was distracted by something else before Prunella would get on her. "Oh, the tree! So sorry, have to run, you guys will love this!" she ran with them, away from Prunella and the man.
"Arbre?" Felicity asked.
"Yes, the tree." Eloise seemed to understand Felicity's French dialect as she ran with her new friends.
"Oh, I always love the Christmas tree, that, and presents and dancing." Estelle said.
The workers looked to Eloise to see what she thought of the tree they brought in.
Eloise looked at the tree, seeming to study it like a professional artist at work. "Well, I'm not at all happy with THAT corner and the top definitely needs some shaping... Here's my card." she went to one of the workers, handing them a card she wrote her name on.
"What's going on here?" an older teenage aged girl came in, wearing a fluffy white coat who resembled Eloise came in.
"Sissy!" Eloise rushed to her and hugged her tight and the girl hugged back. Eloise smiled and turned to them. "You guys, this is my big sister from 'boring school', Giselle!"
"Hello, ma'am," Akito said politely. "My name is Akito and this is my sister, Estelle and our cousin, Felicity."
"Nice to meet you," Giselle smiled. "You don't have to call me ma'am, I'm only 15. I see you met little Eloise."
"I didn't think you were ever coming!" Eloise smiled, looking up to her older sister.
"Sorry, kiddo, but travel takes a while, and you got me until a week after the new year."
Felicity and Estelle smiled at the sisterly reunion.
"Come on, let's go see Nanny." Eloise took them all to the elevator.
The man from behind Prunella's desk had accidentally walked into a Plaza Hotel worker, making him drop the presents as Eloise clicked the elevator button.
"Hey, you watch where you're going." the man told the employee rudely before going off.
"He's an evil man, I can already tell." Estelle said.
"Oh, he's probably just having a bad day, welcome to the Plaza, Akito, Estelle, and Felicity." Giselle smiled at them.
"Merci, Giselle." Felicity smiled up at the teen girl.
Eloise stepped in the elevator with them. "Top floor, please!"
The elevator attendant did as she said and stood quiet the rest of the ride.
"Max doesn't speak, ever," Eloise told her friends. "Even at something gross..."
"Good to know." Estelle said.
"Watch," Eloise said to them, then let out a scream as she backed up against the elevator space. "Max, there's a tarantula on your shoe!"
Max merely blinked and stood straight ahead, not even flinching.
"All he does is just stand there and pretend to not even notice me," Eloise came to her new friends. "It's really quite irritating."
"We can tell." Akito said.
The elevator dinged and Eloise led them all out.
"Good morning, Mrs. Thornton!" Eloise greeted a woman in her coat with a fluffy dog that appeared to be blue.
"When will they make it a law where they don't allow six-year-old girls and their friends to run wild along the Plaza Hotel?" Mrs. Thornton sounded very persnickety.
"The moment they don't allow old ladies to wear fur coats." Estelle said in remark.
Eloise looked back to her friends. "Mrs. Thornton can be rather cranky..."
Mrs. Thornton glanced at Eloise and Estelle. "I see your sister is back, Giselle, you tell your sister that amphibian of hers tried to bite my Mona again..."
"Skipperdy's a turtle and a turtle is a reptile." Eloise retorted.
"I say a turtle is an amphibian!" Mrs. Thornton argued.
Giselle rolled her eyes, boy, was that woman wrong.
"Was it a snapping turtle?" Akito asked.
"I don't care what kind of turtle it was, but that amphibian hurt my poor Mona," Mrs. Thornton glared at the kids. "Eloise, don't you go to school?" She refused to be wrong about calling the turtle an amphibian instead of a reptile like a normal, educated person.
"Nanny says that life experience is the best education I'll ever have." Eloise argued.
"Keep that nasty little pet of yours away from MY dog or I'll have the chef turn him into turtle soup." Mrs. Thornton went into the elevator, leaving the 'annoying children'.
"I do not like that woman very much." Felicity folded her arms.
"No one does." Giselle insisted.
"And I can see why, she is very mean." Estelle said.
"Now, it's time to go to my suite and wake up Nanny." Eloise came to her room door and opened it to show a glittering pink Christmas tree in a nice luxurious room for her, now her sister, and babysitter. "NAAAAAAANNNYYYYY!" she yelled as loud as she could.
This wakes up her nanny.
