The Christmas Star

Part 1

Christmas Eve, 6:00 p.m.

"Christmas time. It's the most joyful holiday of the year. Santa comes at midnight to deliver the toys to all the girls and boys. The looks on their faces when they open their presents. Their eyes sparkle of wonder as they look at their presents. They were replaced with joy as they find their most valuable possessions. Decorating the Christmas tree was the most common activity in Christmas. But my favourite thing to do during Christmas is….."

"Alicia! Can you come down and help me with the decorations?" Alicia looks away from her window and towards her bedroom door.

"Sure thing!" She runs out of her room towards the stairs. Alicia was a brown wolf with beautiful angel wings. She has blonde hair with sapphire blue eyes. She was wearing a black jacket with a red spaghetti strap shirt underneath. She has a red and black pleaded skirt with black knee-high boots with red belts on them. She also has black finger-less gloves with red belts around them as well. She rushes down the stairs when she tripped on something. She fell down the stairs and landed on her face. She sits up groaning while rubbing her forehead. She looks back towards the stairs to find a yellow female dingo with shoulder length dark brown wavy hair with red highlights. She was wearing a black t-shirt with a white spaghetti strap singlet over it. She also has light brown cargo shorts with black knee-high combat boots. She has black finger-less gloves with a white wristband on her right wrist. The dingo was tying a rope to the stair rail while sitting of one of the steps. Alicia raised her eyebrow at her.

"Kataline, what are you doing?" Kataline's brown eyes look towards Alicia with a small smile.

"Nothing, just testing a trap." Kataline grins evilly at the rope she was tying. "When Raiden comes, the rope on the ground will release that large pan on the ceiling and when the pan falls on him the rope tied to the pan will ring the bells telling me that someone fell into my trap." Alicia looks up at the large pan on the ceiling.

"If you're going to capture Raiden, don't you need something a lot bigger than a pan." Kataline shook her head.

"The pan isn't to catch him; it is to knock him out cold." Kataline snickered. Alicia face-palmed.

"Let me guess, you need to test the trap on Raiden to see if it will work when Santa comes." Kataline looks at Alicia surprised.

"Wow, how did you know?" Alicia groaned while she stood up crossing her arms.

"You did the same thing last year and Kataline; don't you remember what happened to the trap you made for Santa last year?" Kataline glares at her.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault Espio went into my trap. He shouldn't be up at midnight anyways." Alicia rolled her eyes.

"He went to get a midnight snack! Ugh, why do I even bother with you?" Alicia walked away leaving Kataline with her trap. She walks into the living room where she finds a beautiful pink hedgehog hanging up tinsel on top of the curtains. The hedgehog looks back at Alicia revealing her gorgeous emerald eyes. She was wearing a strapless red dress which hugs her curves but flows out on the end of the dress was white trim along with red knee high boots with white trim around it. Her dress ends mid-thigh. She was wearing white gloves and a Santa hat. She smiles sweetly at Alicia.

"Alicia, why aren't you dressed so Christmassy." Alicia shrugged.

"I was planning to wear it before Espio comes. I just hope Kat doesn't do anything stupid this year." With that said they heard bells ringing near the staircase.

"YES, IT WORKS!" Alicia and the pink hedgehog glance at each other before running towards the staircase. There they see Kataline kneeling next to a male covered in a hood. He has wearing what seemed to be an old fashioned outfit. It was black with red highlights, thigh length, robe. Two slots in the back for his wings which were black with red tips on the feathers. Two broadswords hung from his waist on different sides. He had hood up to cover his face, but two ears could be seen from slots in the hood. Two gauntlets on his arms with a skull and cross-bone design underneath the gauntlet. He had a black wolf tail with red highlights. Kataline takes off his hood revealing he has tiger blood from the white lines on his face. He opens his eyes to reveal his mixed eyes. The right one was fiery red and the left one was moonlight silver. Kataline chuckles nervously.

"Sorry about that Raiden. I just needed to test something." Raiden rolls his eyes before standing dusting himself off. He notices Alicia and the hedgehog standing behind Kataline.

"Hi Alicia, hi Amy. How's it going?" Alicia stepped forward towards Raiden checking on him.

"Kataline didn't hurt you too much right?" Raiden shook his head.

"I bet it will be much worse for Santa." Everyone laughs a little before returning to their jobs. Alicia, Kataline and Amy were finishing the decorations. Kataline turns her attention towards the Christmas tree. She notices something about it.

"Um guys? Where's the Christmas Star?" Both Amy and Alicia turn their attention to the tree. Amy giggles.

"I forgot the star. I was wondering what I was forgetting. I'll be right back." Amy rushes towards the stairs while Kataline and Alicia watch her leave. Alicia smirks at Kataline.

"Kat, it's time for us to change into our Christmas outfits." Kataline's eyes widened and was about to make a run for it until Alicia grabs a hold of her tail. Kataline scrambled in her grip as she grabs on to the nearest object.

"NO! PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME WEAR THAT GIRLY STUFF!" Amy walks into the attic as she turns on the lights.

"Okay Christmas Star, where are you?" She starts to looks around for the star. She finally spots a shine in the old Christmas decorations box. She smiles as she rushes towards it. She opened the box to find a shiny white star. She picks up the star and smiles sweetly at it. "You know what would make this the best Christmas ever? Love. That would be the best Christmas present. I know that sounds desperate, but who wouldn't accept that Christmas present. Oh I wish that there was some place where I would find that someone." With that said the Star starts to glow brightly in Amy's hand. She noticed the glow and stares at it. The Star starts to release magic white sparkles with circle around Amy. Amy gasped as they surround her more. Once they fully surrounded her. They start to glow a bright light which surrounds Amy. Amy covers her eyes from the sudden brightness. And when the sparkles surrounding Amy suddenly disappeared, Amy also disappeared.

Amy screams as she was falling through a portal. The portal disappears to show a white ground. Amy lands on the ground face flat. She lifts her head and shakes it getting rid of the snow on her head. She stands up as she takes a look at her surroundings. She was in a snowy forest which makes her shiver. She looks at her hand to find her Christmas Star is gone. She whimpered as she looks around for her star. She finds it halfway buried in the snow. She picks it up and wipes off the snow. She takes a path hoping would lead her to a nearby town. She looks around the forest as the forest was dark and scary. She heard a wild wolf howl which makes her gasp in fear. She clutches her star close to her chest. She continues to walk forward.

"Where am I exactly?" She questions herself as she continues to walk forward. She heard nearby rustlings in the bushes. Out came a large wild wolf growling at her. She gasps as she runs away from it. The wolf chases after her. Amy whimpers as the wolf was catching up to her. She finds a nearby tree which can be easy for her to climb. She runs after it and starts to climb the tree. She hides in the tree as the wolf runs past the tree. She sighs in relief. She makes herself comfortable on the tree as she falls asleep.

A hooded figure was walking around the forest as it was carrying a sword on its hip. Their blood red eyes visible through the hood glare into the distance. He continues forward through the snow until it hears soft snoring from a tree above it. It looks up to see a hint of red. It glares deeply as it climbs the tree with ease. It took off the hood to reveal a handsome male black hedgehog with red streaks in his quills. He takes off the robe revealing his toned body and white chest fur and climbs higher into the tree. He climbs onto a branch higher than the red. He looks down onto the red and his eyes widened slightly. On the branch he saw the most gorgeous hedgehog he had ever seen. He continues to stare down on her as he takes in her beauty as she sleeps like an angel. The shaking of the tree woke Amy up from her nap. She looks up to see a male black hedgehog hiding in the branches. She gasps quietly as she keeps quiet from him. The male hedgehog sighed in relief as he looks down at the pink beauty. He smirks down at her.

"I see you're awake beautiful." Amy gasped as she scrambles backwards. She took notice of how handsome he was. She blushes when she looks up at him. The man reached out his hand towards her. Amy took it as he pulled her into his arms. Shadow noticed her gorgeous emerald eyes as they were staring into his blood red ones. He brushes a strand of hair from her face. "I didn't catch your name beautiful." Amy blushes from his affections.

"A-A-Amy, Amy Rose." He stares at her with affection.

"My name is Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog." Amy nods still blushing from him stroking her quills. Shadow places a hand on her cheek as she stares into his hypnotising red eyes. Shadow wore a blank face but his eyes showed affection. He pulled her face closer to his face as he closed his eyes. Amy also closed her eyes allowing Shadow to pull her closer. As Shadow was about to kiss her, Amy snapped out of her trance and scooted away from him. Shadow looks at her confused. Amy sighs as she tries to recall what had happened. 'It's going way to fast. We just met and he was already trying to kiss me? What's happening to me?' She glances at Shadow who was staring at her emotionless. Shadow shook his head and jumped off the branch landing on the snow with ease. Shadow spread his arms out as if to catch Amy. "You have to jump." Amy was not sure of jumping from a high branch.

"I can't. It's too high."

"I'll catch you. Trust me." Amy gulps before jumping off of the branch. Shadow caught her with ease. Amy hangs on tightly on Shadow. "See, not that hard." Amy nods while hanging onto Shadow tightly. She buries her face into his hard chest. Shadow smirks a bit before letting her stand on her feet. He walks over to the tree to pick up his robe. He swung it over his shoulders and looks back at Amy. "Where are you from Amy?"

"S-Station S-S-Square." She shivered as a breeze kicked in. Shadow put the robe over her shoulders.

"Never heard of that place. What's it like?" Amy's eyes widened.

"What do you mean you never heard of it?" She faces him now serious. Shadow looks at her confused.

"To be honest, I have to know my kingdom before ruling it and I've never heard of Station Square before. Is it in another kingdom?" Amy shook her head.

"No, in fact, it's not even in a kingdom. Where am I?" Shadow glares at little bit at her.

"You're in the Frostila, where it always snows. If you're not from a kingdom, then you're not from this world. Which planet are you from?" Amy took a step back as Shadow looks at her with suspicion.

"Umm, Mobius." Shadow raised his eyebrow.

"Impossible, Planet Mobius doesn't have life on it." Amy glares at him.

"Well I'm living proof that there is life on Planet Mobius on this planet." Amy's eyes widened when she realised what she had said. "What planet am I on?"

"Planet Glarcia." Amy's eyes widened.

"But, I thought no one lived on this planet." Shadow nods understanding.

"There we go, we both we are from different worlds which we thought was inhabited. How did you get here anyways?" Amy looked at her hands which contains her Christmas Star.

"This brought me here." Shadow looked at the star and his eyes widened. He snatched it off her hands and examined. He looks back at her with a serious look on his face.

"Where did you get this?" He gestured to the star.

"I found it in my backyard. I use it as a Christmas Star." Shadow raised his eyebrow at her.

"Don't you know what you have found?" Amy shook her head. Shadow walks closer to her.

"This is a Frost Star. Legend says that the ancient Glarcians created this star to grant a person one wish they truly desired. What did you wish for?" Amy blushed knowing what she accidentally wished for.

"If I tell you then it wouldn't be a wish then." Shadow face-palmed.

"Okay fair enough. Obviously you made a wish which brought you here."

"Is there a way that I can get back home?" Shadow looks back at her.

"Why you just got here?"

"I know but….I really need to get back to my friends." Shadow nods before going into deep thought. After a while he snaps his fingers.

"We need to get to the castle. I think I know someone who can send you back." Amy looked confused.

"Wait, castle?" Shadow sighs. He looks back at her.

"I'm actually the Prince of the Frostila. My family has been in charge of keeping Frostila covered in snow, ice, anything cold. But when I was born, I didn't have the ice powers the rest of my family have. In fact, I don't look like my family at all. I just want to know why I am so different compared to my family. But we have to get back to the castle." He pulled her arm as he led her to his castle.

I change my mind, I'm going to do a two-shot. I would like to thank aliciathewolf45 and Raiden Tachibana for letting me use their OCs. Thank you guys! :) Okay Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas. :)
