Hi guys! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Now, I wanted to do a Christmas story and I had an idea years ago to do one when I worked on Cyber Chase so here it is! This will be a short story with four chapters or less, maybe five. IDK.
So, I do NOT own Ben 10, Star Wars, Winx Club, Johnny Test, Xiaolin Showdown, W.i.t.c.h., or any other cartoons and such involved in this story. They are owned by their respective owners. I ONLY own the plot and my OCs' so please enjoy.
Ch 1. What is Christmas?
Humming was part of me, as was singing. And right now, I was humming another favorite holiday song of mine while I did some chores around my quarters, picking up some clothes on the floor and sweeping the floor for dust and dirt and such when the door opened. I slide past Anakin and he looked confused as to why I was acting like this.
~Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh~
~O'er the fields we go, laughing along the way~
~Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright~
~What fun it is to ride and sing, a sleighing song tonight~
~Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells~
~Jingle all the way~
~Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells~
~Jingle all the way~
"What's got you so happy?" I stopped and turned to flash a smile at him. "I'm happy because at the end of the day here, it'll be the start of Friday back home. And back home, it's the last day of school before Christmas Break. And I'm so excited!" I kept sweeping when he asked me, "What's Christmas Break?"
"You know, where everyone takes two weeks off to celebrate the holidays. You know, Christmas?" He raised his brow at me and shook his head, "Never heard of it." I dropped the broom and gaped, appalled at this confession. "What?! You've never even heard of Christmas?"
"Is she some lady friend of yours?" I giggled at his confusion of the holiday with a lady. "Uh, no! I can't believe you never even heard of Christmas." He shrugged and watched me put the broom and dust sweeper away in the bathroom. "Well, I guess that's because it that holiday doesn't exist here, or in this galaxy." I popped my head out of the door, grinning like the Chesire Cat, "Well, are you in for a treat, my friend!"
"And everyone pretends to like the Fruit Cake." While I was explaining the holiday to Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka stopped by to see if he was there and they were interested in the holiday too. I told them about how back home, we have a big Christmas feast with delicious food; we decorate our homes with colorful lights and inflatable Christmas characters like snowmen and reindeer. And when it snows, it's called a White Christmas, because snow is white.
And most of all, we all give presents to the ones we care about: friends, family, loved ones. And on Christmas Day, we all stay in our pajamas and open our presents, and we eat a Christmas-themed breakfast and watch Christmas movies all morning. And if you want, you can play in the snow and do all sorts of stuff like build a snowman, make snow angels, and even have a snow ball fight.
Then, I told them about Santa Clause, the figure of the holiday season, and how he delivers presents to all the good children of the world and gives coal to the naughty ones. And that he spreads happiness and joy to all the children of the world and teaches us about the true meaning of Christmas: giving to others.
After that talk, Obi-Wan told us that the Council says that there have been Separatist sightings on Hoth by the locals, if they were even locals on the frost-bitten planet, and that they have to leave right away. He left, with Ahsoka behind him so she could give us some alone time since I was always so sad they had to go away on missions, especially Anakin, all the time and I stayed behind because I wasn't ready to go out in the field yet.
"So, I'm guessing you'll be back by next week?" Anakin saw my frown and he smiled, comforting me by giving my shoulder a squeeze. He spoke the same way, "Hey, don't worry about me. I'll see you just in time to see you acting goofy again."I shot my head up and glared at him, but I was smiling too, "Hey! I'm not always goofy, you know! I act serious too."
He chuckled at me and ran his hand through my hair, making me look scruffy. "Well, we see when I get back. See you soon, Shorty." I nodded and said okay and he walked to the door when he stopped. He looked back at me and he asked, "Hey, when is this…Christmas of yours happening?" I answered while trying to get my hair in a ponytail again, "Uh, On December 25. But Christmas Eve is the day before that, which is in like six days. Why do you ask?"
He had something in his eyes, interest lurked in them. "Well, if the mission ends earlier than expected, I was thinking that…you, me, and Ahsoka could…I don't know…celebrate this Christmas…with you." The moment he said that, I smiled up at him, stars in my eyes, and I laughed happily. "Oh Anakin! That-That would be so awesome! Uh, you know, if you finish early."
"Yeah, I know. Come here, kid."
I ran up to give him a quick hug, and he hugged back, and then he left. I raised my brow at the reason why he had that look in his eyes when he told me about it a few seconds ago. Hmm, I wonder what he has in mind. It was one where he had an idea and it never ends up good, usually. But it still sparked an interest in me. I wonder what I should do for him and Ahsoka if they do come back early for their first Christmas. And who knows, maybe Obi-Wan and Padme can join us…and so can the team. I haven't seen them in a while since Halloween…and that did not go so well. Well, maybe this time it can be different. I started getting ready to leave for home back in the real world.
But unknown to me, Anakin was on his way to the hanger bay, smiling as an idea formed in his head. Well, if the mission does ends early, I may be able to experience this Christmas with Shorty... And maybe... I could do something more for her…
So, Anakin has an idea, but will it be good or bad?
Now, Cyber Spooks didn't get much attention so I feel like this one won't either. So, PLEASE REVIEW/FAVORITE/FOLLOW ME AND MY STORIES, INCLUDING THIS ONE!
And in the next part, we will see some old and new faces from our cartoon friends so until then, adios! ;)
