The snow was pouring down on a small town as a royal carriage rode along the streets. But this carriage was a special one, instead of being pulled by a horse; it was pulled by a majestic golden bird. Behind the carriage, rode two tiny stowaways. They looked like two dark fairies the size of a mouse, called Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda.
"Wanda, could you please stop eating a sandwich with your feet? Where's your common sense?" Anti-Cosmo looked at his wife with exasperation. Wanda just stared at him dully.
"What's common sense?" Anti-Wanda asked her husband, who just slapped his forehead.
"Try the dictionary." Anti-Cosmo told her.
"Oh, I did! It was incredibly tasty, especially the vowels." Anti-Wanda replied stupidly.
"What are you two hooligans blabbering about?" A squeaky, annoying voice came from the top of the carriage as a miniature hamster named Hamsterviel slid down to the pair. "I didn't come all this way to HEAR YOU BLABBERING ABOUT MY DICTIONARY THAT ANTI-WANDA ATE!"
"Oh yeah! You came here to get the…" Anti-Wanda began.
"Yes, Anti-Wanda, we've been through this a thousand times. I came here to commit an incredibly evil deed, NOW I WANT YOU TWO TO STOP BLABBERING AND GET ME THE…" Before Hamsterviel could finish his sentence, a truck with a giant Christmas tree passed by the carriage and Hamsterviel's cape got hooked onto one of its branches.
"GET ME DOWN! GET ME DOWN, I SAY! THIS IS NOT FUN AT ALL! NOW GET ME DOWN BEFORE I WET MYSELF!" Hamsterviel's cries echoed through the night as the carriage rode on. Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda looked at each other in silence…
"PIE!" Anti- Wanda exclaimed randomly before going back to eating her sandwich. Anti-Cosmo sighed as the carriage rode into the town.
Meanwhile, in another part of the town, four figures rode in another carriage. A young teenager looked at the window and waited for mist to cover it. Once the window was foggy enough, she drew small figures of her imagination on it with her finger.
"June, June, hello? Earth to June…JUNE!" Rae Rae, her brother exclaimed. The teenager turned around to see her brother, and her two best friends Tucker and Sam staring at her. She blinked dully.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Rae Rae just wanted to get your attention." Sam rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, you were totally distracted." Tucker told her.
"Yep, if you know June, she's daydreaming again." Rae Rae smiled as he reached for her hair and tried to pull it. June just swatted him away.
As the carriage rode by the town square, the Christmas tree with Hamsterviel hanging on it was surrounded by people. Hamsterviel looked at the crowd with anger and disgust.
"All you filthy humans! Get me down so I can destroy you all! NOW!" Hamsterviel exclaimed, but his cries were ignored as the Christmas tree was pulled upright. Soon, Hamsterviel was on a branch, hovering high in the air as the people below cheered for the coming of the giant tree.
"COME ON! GET ME DOWN I SAY!" Hamsterviel shouted. "I NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!"
Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda stared at the Christmas tree in awe. The carriage that was carrying them suddenly came to a stop and both of them plummeted off and fell into the snow. Then, as if it was magic, the luggage on the carriage floated in the air and formed a large toy shop. The remaining luggage hovered as well and stood as two statues by the stairs of the shop.
Anti-Cosmo grinned evilly at the shop.
"Anti – Wanda, look! It's the toy shop! Do you know what this means?" He asked, excitedly.
"Um…Santa's coming for Christmas?" Anti – Wanda smiled dumbly.
"No, my blockheaded wife, this means that the boss would find what he's looking for." Anti-Cosmo smirked.
Meanwhile, June, Rae Rae, Tucker and Sam pulled up in front of the huge toy shop. June looked at it, amazed, and without thinking, she opened the door and jumped out of the carriage…it was a good thing it stopped moving.
"June!" Sam exclaimed.
"Don't worry, guys, I'll be right back. I just need to check that toy shop out." June smiled as she ran towards the shimmering building. Rae Rae smirked.
"If June's going to act like a kid, I guess I'll go along to laugh in her face." Rae Rae said as he jumped out of the carriage as well. "See you guys later!"
Tucker and Sam just looked at their two best friends with confused expressions. They stared at June and Rae Rae for a while before shaking their heads and turning to each other.
"We'll never understand them, will we?" Sam asked, Tucker just shook his head.
"Wow! Look at that!" June exclaimed. The pair were staring in the window at the toy shop, there were so many beautiful toys dangling in the windowsill. But the toy that caught June's eye the most was a nutcracker. It had snow white hair, electric green eyes, and it was dressed in a royal jumpsuit. June jumped when she saw a single tear slide down the nutcracker's eye.
"Did you see that, Rae Rae…the nutcracker was crying…" June gasped. Rae Rae just rolled his eyes.
"Older sisters…" He muttered under his breath. Suddenly, a figure came out of the toy shop and looked at the kids.
"May I help you?" He asked them, this figure looked like a Chinese warrior, his name was Master Dashi.
"Please sir, why does this nutcracker have tears in his eyes?" June asked the man.
"Ignore my sister, sir. She's a little loopy." Rae Rae whispered, before he received a smack on the head by our favorite Te Xuan Ze.
"Ah – allow me to explain." Master Dashi said, as he urged the pair to enter the shop. Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda, who were watching the whole scene decided to get a better look.
"Come on, let's climb up that window!" Anti – Wanda exclaimed, trying desperately to climb up the slippery walls. She looked up and saw Anti – Cosmo already there, watching what was happening inside.
"HOW DID YOU GET UP THERE SO FAST?!" Anti- Wanda bellowed.
"Hello, we're fairies. We can fly?" Anti- Cosmo rolled his eyes, as Anti – Wanda spread her wings and flew up to him.
"Right…I knew that." She smiled as they watched what was happening inside the shop, and they waited for the chance when they could get what they came for…
"DOUGHNUT!"
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP?!"
