---------------------------------------------------------
It was snowing…..
Very Heavy in fact……
In the middle of the street a small van was on it's way to the mall to take seven special little orphans to see Santa Claus. But alas, it seems that this surprising snowstorm that appear to come out of nowhere prevented them from going any further.
"Are we gonna get to see Santa Claus?" Chiya asked.
"Yeah, I've got a long list of stuff I want to ask for." Tami added.
Gram Gram just looked out the window. "I'm sorry young ones, but it seems for the moment we won't be going anywhere." The seven azu-mini's just gave a disappointed look.
It was then that the van appeared to just give out. "Oh my." Gram Gram said as she tried to restart the engine but to no avail.
"Are we gonna freeze?" Kogora asked.
"I dun wanna be a popsicle." Kyoto added as she started to cry as one by one the rest of the azu-mini's joined her.
Gram Gram gave them a smile. "Don't worry, there's a house up ahead, I'll go there and ask if I could use their phone to call for someone to help."
"Don't leave us." Chiya said as she grabbed Gram Gram's hand tight.
Gram Gram saw the other Azu-Mini's faces as they too appeared not to be wanting to be left alone. "Okay, but stick close together.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the small group made their way to the house Chiya started to tremble from the cold. Suzuki then held the small girl tightly. "Don't worry everything will be all right."
"Suzuki, always thinking of others." Korin thought as she blushed.
They finally reached the front door and rang the doorbell. After a few seconds the door opened and were surprised to see who it was.
"MR AR!!!!!" The young orphans screamed.
AR's eyes grew wide. "Wow, this is a surprise." he said. "Well don't just stand there, come on in out of the cold."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a while back since AR was caught in a terrible rainstorm and he found shelter in the orphanage. Now it was his turn to return the favor.
"Sorry, but the phone lines are down." AR said as he sweat dropped. "But you're welcomed to stay here until everything clears up.
"But we were gonna see Santa Claus." Kyoto said in a disappointed tone.
"How is he going to know what we ask for." Yomo added.
"Oh don't worry, Santa knows everything." AR assured them. "Just give the big guy some credit."
The Azu-Mini's smiled at his answer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AR and the rest of the group had gather around the fireplace to keep warm as Gram Gram had prepared some hot chocolate for them all.
"I could have done that you know." AR told them.
"But it's the least I could do after you gave us some shelter." Gram Gram responded.
"But you did help me a while back as well." AR said with a smirk on his face.
"So what do we do now?" Kogora asked.
"I know, tell us a story Mr. AR." Chiya said as she jumped up and down.
"YES….YES PLEASE!!!!!" The rest of the Azu-Mini's said as they jumped up and down as well.
AR sighed as she saw Gram Gram give a small laugh.
"Okay sure." he finally said. "Now lets see…. Since it's the holidays, how about some Tales of Christmas?" He asked them as they got an excited look in his eyes as if they said yes. "Okay then……here we go."
