Once upon a December
Chapter 1 meeting Katrina
2 young children were playing around the streets of London, 'basil! No fair!' 'What?' the girl grinned evilly, 'GOTCHA!!' she pounced like a cat and landed right onto of him, 'Katrina! Now that was unfair!' Katrina still on top of basil laughed. 'Katrina! It's time to come home!' 'Sorry basil but I've got to go.' 'Bye Katrina!' 'Goodbye basil!' Katrina turned around and ran back to her house; basil noticed how her midnight black hair shining in the sun.
Katrina and her family 'hello mommy and daddy!' 'Katrina, your grandma stopped by and told us to give you this.' Her mother handed her a music box with a little necklace, 'you put this bit of the necklace here on the box and twist it here.' Katrina did as her mother told her to do, 'it plays our song!'
Dancing bears Painted wings Someone holds me safe and warm Far away, long ago Someone holds me safe and warm Far away, long ago And a song
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart
Used to know
Once upon a December
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Glowing dim an as ember
Things my heart
Used to know
Things it yearns to remember
Someone sings
Once upon a December
'Tell grandma I said thank you!'
Present day- Katrina was now as old as basil, she walked the streets of London after her trip to Germany, 'I can't wait to see everyone, but I wonder where basil is though.' Katrina went to see her parents; the 3 sat down and talked of course, 'Katrina, we've all missed you so dearly.' 'I know you have mother and father.' 'You've grown into a beautiful young lady; it seems just yesterday you were a little girl playing with basil.' 'Speaking of which, where is basil now and days?' 'I hear from the papers that he lives on Baker Street.' Katrina smiled, 'thank you, I'll see you soon again mother and father.' With that Katrina left the place, smiling at her parents one last time before making her way towards basil's home.
Baker street- Katrina looked at the door and gulped, 'I'm nervous, we haven't seen each other in many years, who knows what he looks like now.' She pushed that thought aside and knocked on the door, 'hello Madame, is this the home of basil of baker street?' 'I'm afraid it is, he's not here at the moment, but young miss you're free to come and wait for him until he gets here.' Katrina nodded and took of her cloak, the dress was all snow white, and this made her midnight black hair standout. 'I'll get you a fresh pot of tea and some cheese crumpets.' 'Thank you.' With that the young maid left. Katrina looked around basil's home, 'wow, I wonder what has he become? A scientist or a detective?' She noticed an old man, 'hello.' 'Hello my dear, and who might you be?' 'Katrina, a close friend to basil.' 'Hello Katrina…WHAT!?' Katrina looked down to the floor in shame, 'who might you be?' 'Dawson, his partner in crime.' Katrina looked up and smiled, 'that's a beautiful smile you got Ms. Katrina.' 'Why thank you Dawson.' Suddenly the door slammed open, 'the villain has slipped!' the strange man ran past Katrina, 'HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!' The figure stopped and stared at her, 'I'm sorry.' The figure took of his mask. 'Basil….' Basil stared at the woman, studying her, 'Katrina!?' 'Yep!' basil glomped onto Katrina, 'it's great to see you!' 'You too.' The 2 talked about the old times and caught up with each others lives, 'wow, you've lead a very interesting life basil!'
