Disclaimer: I don't own the Ranger's Apprentice series.

A/N: Many thanks goes to my sister/beta for helping me with this. And I know the characters are OOC, but it's supposed to be like that.

Halt was awoken by a tearful apprentice yelling, "It's gone! It's gone!"

It took him a minute to wake up and calm Will down enough to ask him what was gone.

"Our tree, our Christmas tree!" Will sobbed.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Halt yelled. "How dreadful!"

"I KNOW RIGHT?" Will shrieked.

"WHAT SHALL WE DO?" Halt screamed

"WE COULD STEAL GILAN'S!" Will loudly suggested.

"That's a great idea," said Halt, calming down a bit.

"I know right?" said Will.

"You already said that," Halt pointed out, getting kind of annoyed.

"I know right!" Will said again.

"SHUT UUUUP!" Halt screamed.

"Okay," Will said meekly.

"Let's go," Halt said.

Later:

"Is it just me or do I keep seeing coffee beans?" Will asked.

It was true, the way to Gilan's did seem to be leaving a trail of coffee beans.

"Hmm…" Halt said, thinking aloud, "didn't you string together some coffee beans to make tinsel?"

"Yeah," Will said, feeling kind of embarrassed.

"This is getting suspicious," Halt said.

They arrived at Gilan's house .

"Remember," Halt said, "we're trying to sneak in."

Will nodded eagerly

"Let's go," they both whispered, and they both charged at the house.

"Yaaahh," they screamed.

They got to a window and looked inside. For some strange reason Gilan had two Christmas trees, one of which looked suspiciously like theirs, and next to them was Gilan, who was laughing so hard he did not hear their yell.

"He took our tree," Will said, astonished.

"Yes, I can see that," Halt said.

They both cried "WE'RE GONA KILL YOU, GILAN!" and jumped through the window and started maiming him.

A/N: Hope you liked that. If you did, REVIEW! :D
