A/N: Hello! Just a little Christmas one-shot series I'll be writing over Christmas break :) They'll probably be fairly short, just whatever little ideas have time to write! Enjoy!
The princess beamed, staring up at the cloudy grey-blue expanse above her, inhaling the sweet, chilly winter air. Packed snugly beneath her petite, well-bundled body was fresh snow that had fallen quietly the night before – the first snowfall of the season in Corona, much to her delight. Beside her was her beau, her new dream, the first man she'd ever met. He was lying much in the same manner as she was, with the exception that he was watching her, rather than admiring the beauty and enchantment of world around them covered in white.
The green-eyed girl absentmindedly reached for his hand, but instead grasped a handful of snow with her gloved fingers. Her eyes opened wide and she let out a small giggle, watching wonderingly as she let the powdery white slip through her fingers. She'd seen snow before, from the tower she used to call home – but she'd never been able to experience it as she was now. Laying in it was a strange sensation to her. At first it felt rather cold and made her shiver, but now, after lying in it, it felt soft to her touch and almost warm underneath all of her layers that a certain young man had made her put on after she'd woken him up to exuberantly enlighten him about the snow much too early for his liking.
"I love snow, Eugene." The princess whispered to the man beside her.
"I'm sure you'll love Christmas, then." He smiled. "There's always lots of snow around Christmas."
"Will I?" she asked, propping herself up and tilting her head quizzically. "What's it like?"
As she'd only been back with her true parents for a few months and the woman who kidnapped her - which was an entirely different story – had never celebrated Christmas with her, the girl had never been able to experience the magical holiday.
The former thief thought for a moment.
The faint hum from the village of carols, chatter, the laughter of children, sounded in the distance. Decorations of red were beginning to appear throughout the kingdom. The air was cold, yet smelled warm, like an inviting fireplace.
"Well," he began, "I'll tell you what, Blondie. I'll show you what Christmas is like. But I can tell you one thing."
"What?" she asked wonderingly.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas."
A/N: I decided to try a little different style than I usually do for this chapter :) Whatcha think? Review and tell me!
