CHRISTMAS EVE
(OC POV)
Ah, Christmas time in the Koopa Kingdom. I just love it! Snow on the ground, frost on the windows, and the icicles growing on the edge of the porch roof-
"Ouch!" I said as a small icicle broke off and hit me in the head.
Dumb ice I thought as I rubbed my sore noggin.
My mom came out the back door and laughed. I stuck my tongue out at her, causing her to laugh even more.
Angry and pouting, I turned my spiked shell towards her and-
Wait. You didn't think I was HUMAN did you? Ha! No way! I'm totally a koopa!
My name is Evelynn, but most people just call me Eve.
I have blue scales and a purple shell, with long, thick lavender hair that I sometimes pull up in a ponytail with a black spiked band. My eyes are the color of rust, a kind of combination of my dad's red and my mom's brown.
Another thing, I wear a green and blue beaded anklet on my right ankle at all times, because my best friend gave it to me, and I promised him I'd never take it off.
Well, anyway, I started crunching through the ivory blanket in my backyard to the tall, dark-wooded tree with multi-colored leaves. Somehow, this tree's leaves never fell, they just changed colors.
I climbed up into it and made myself comfortable in the bough (that's where all the branches connect to the trunk if ya didn't know).
Ya see, there's a hole in the canopy above the bough, and I just love sitting and looking up through it.
I sighed. I remember when I first found my little "Hideout".
Things were different back then. For one, my best friend was with me then.
And now… Well, let's just say, his life was so easy back then, and he probably forgot me a long time ago…
(Koopaling POV)
Christmas time. As Scrooge would say, "Bah humbug!"
The snow keeps me inside, the frost ruins my window's view, and huge icicles fall and stab people through their skulls like chilly knives.
I growled as I stared out my bedroom window, constantly wiping it so that I could see out.
I laid my head down on my desk with a sigh.
Stupid Christmas I thought.
When someone banged (Or in their mind, knocked) on my bedroom door, I didn't answer, hoping they'd go away.
Well, that didn't happen, cause the next thing I knew, my sister stormed into my room without an inch of hesitance.
"Hey there, nerd." She popped her gum loudly and jangled her bracelets obnoxiously.
"Go away airhead." I replied, not lifting my head from its resting position. "Shouldn't you be Christmas shopping or some other useless, time-consuming activity?"
She rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively.
"Oh, whatever. Dad just asked me to tell you dinner's almost ready, so get your tail down there!" She popped her gum and pranced back downstairs.
After yelling "FINE!" I went back to staring out the window, not ready to see my siblings and Dad.
I remember when I used to rant on and on about my annoying siblings to the only one who'd listen, to the only real friend I'd ever actually had.
Thinking about it made me sad. I remember when we found that old, weird tree with the hole in the leaves and the way we used to sit in it all day, talking about anything and everything that crossed our minds.
And now… Well, let's just say, her life was way simpler than mine, and she probably forgot me a long, long time ago…
Dude, I hope I can get this done by Christmas! I've only got 8 days! OH NOES! Anyways, the first person to guess who the Koopaling was gets a shout out next chapter! But If no one reviews, no one get's a shout out. So R&R!
