So, another Ryelsi challenge! This time, it's a Christmas one. Basically, you have to write a drabble based on a quote from the movie "Elf." And, of course, I decided to do it! If you want to take part in this challenge, or just find a place where you talk all about Ryelsi, the link to the community is in my profile. It's a great place, so go check it out! And so here's the first drabble based on this quote:

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud enough for everyone to hear."

DISCLAIMER: I don't own this any more than I own Lucas Grabeel.


"…And so if you come along Christmas caroling on Friday night, you will receive extra credit for this class," Ms. Darbus finished announcements up with. The class started buzzing with this fun, easy way to get extra credit. All except for Kelsi Nielson. The shy, composer sat lost in her own thoughts. She hated Christmas caroling. First of all, she hated singing in front of people. Also, a few years ago, her favorite aunt had passed away after a long-fought battle with cancer, right around the holidays. Because of this, she was always sad around the holidays, and could never properly enjoy them. The bell rang then, jolting her from her thoughts.

Later that day, Kelsi found herself at lunch, sitting next to Ryan Evans. Surprisingly enough to her, the two had become close friends over the past year. They had been talking about the ridiculously heavy amount of homework that the teachers had been dumping on them lately, when Ryan brought up the caroling.

"Are you going to go?" he asked.

"Eh, no way," Kelsi said, making a face. She looked up to see Ryan looking at her weird. "What?"

"Christmas grinch much?" Ryan asked jokingly.

"I just don't…..enjoy Christmas caroling much," Kelsi replied.

"You don't like spreading Christmas cheer?" Ryan asked.

"Well yeah, but……"

"Well, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud enough for everyone to hear!" Ryan proclaimed. Kelsi pondered this for awhile. "So are you going to come? Don't worry; we won't make you sing a solo. Sharpay will cover that no problem!" They laughed together, and Kelsi said,

"Yeah, I guess I will come."

It might not be that bad after all. She thought. I'll have my friends with me………and Ryan.


R&R Please!!
