The Nutcracker

Chapter 1

It was Christmas Eve. There was a grand party in the Mutou household and guest after guest continued to arrive. Coats piled up in the hallway closet and the air was filled with the warm smells of hot cocoa and gingerbread.

By the door to the drawing room stood two children, a boy who was wearing a pale blue suit and a girl who was wearing a cream-colored dress with a pink sash and a bow in her short brown hair to match. Their names were Tea and Yugi. They were siblings, brother and sister. They waited outside the doors to the drawing room with other children, excitement positively radiating from them.

The adults sensed the excitement and smiled contentedly.

A butler announced, "Dinner is served."

With that, Yugi, Tea and all of the other children scattered away from the drawing room doors and into the dining room of the household.
