AN: It is Christmas Time, so I am going to do another Christmas Story. This might be as a pair of stories, so be on the lookout for that. I hope that you will enjoy this as much as I enjoyed typing this. Thank you, and enjoy.

Chapter One: Away From Family

The snow was falling in New York City, and that meant one thing to those living in the Big Apple at this time of the year. It was about a week and some days before Christmas. 17 year old David Falcone was looking forward to this holiday. His family, which at this time consisted of his legal guardian Louis Saint, and his family friend Villo Lyon, were going to spend time at a cabin with the Russos, Jerry and Theresa, and their three kids. Their kids were Justin, Max, and Alex. Whenever David thought about Alex, he could not help but smile. She and David were close friends, friends that grew up together, and were thick as thieves. She would literally get into trouble, and he would try to get her out of it, and most of the time he would be the one causing trouble along with her. That is how much they meant to each other.

She was way too mischievous, and that is what he loves about her, among other things, of course. That is going to come into play, a little later, ladies and gentlemen.

The Russos, along with David, Louis, and Villo were at a Christmas retreat a few miles away from New York, and the families were having a good time. Louis was talking to Villo, Jerry, and Theresa. Justin and Max were talking amongst themselves in a corner, and David and Alex were sitting near the window, watching the snow fall.

"Wow, it is really coming down out there." Alex said, staring out of the window at the white area that surrounded them. David sat next to her, and stared out at the snow as well. All David could do was smile as he saw the snow. He remembereed all of the times while they were kids, heading outside and playing in it, getting into snowball fights, and of course causing trouble.

"You know what I miss the most? Getting into snowball fights and other things." David said.

"Yeah, double teaming Justin when he would deserve it for acting all high and mighty for no good reason." Alex said.

They sat next to the window, watching the snow fall for the next few minutes, talking about all of their Christmas memories as the snow quietly fell outside. Then Alex asked him something that really caught him off guard.

"So, what are you getting for Christmas?" Alex asked him. She noticed that his face took a slightly red tint when she asked him that. David did not answer so quickly at first, but he decided to tell her what she wanted to hear.

"Well, I have no idea, honestly. I am sure that I will get something that I have always wanted." David said.

"I think that might happen, if you are good." Alex answered. She got up, and walked over to her brothers, and David smiled, just watching her leave.

"I hope so." David said, under his breath.

David was sitting in his room, just calmly looking out of his window when Villo walked over, and sat next to him. David was deep in thought, so he did not even notice Villo over there with him at the moment.

"I take it that there is something on your mind?" Villo asked his friend.

"Villo, I am worried about something." David said.

"Really? Like what?" Villo asked David.

"I want to tell Alex how I really feel about her, but I am worried about what her reaction is going to be." David said.

"I see. You want your relationship to go beyond friendship, but you are really worried about if it will end badly, what will it do in the future." Villo said.

"Yeah, how did you know?" David asked, now curious for his friend.

"Raymond asked me and Louis the same thing." Villo said. "David, I can tell you this. No romance is a cleanly paved road, and expect challenges to come along."

"Wow, when did you get all romantic and scientific?" David asked him.

"I have to be. Louis would give me crap all the time for it." Villo said. He hopped off the bed, and went towards the front door. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." David said back.

It was late at night, and David was sound asleep in his bed, when he felt someone shake him awake. When David awoke, it took him a few minutes to register that it was Alex who woke him up. Sitting up and wiping his eyes, David looked at his female friend.

"What's wrong?" David asked, still more asleep than awake.

"I left something at my house and I want to go get it." Alex whispered, trying to keep her voice quiet as to not disturb those who are in the room with her.

"Okay, why did you wake me up?" David asked her.

"I want you to come with me." Alex said. David stared at her for a moment and sighed. He reached over, and grabbed his t-shirt from the other side and slipped it on over his head, and stuffed his cell phone in his pocket.

"Fine, let's go." David yawned. Alex smiled, and grabbed David's arm. She did a spell, and they warped to their location that she wanted to go.

Or did they?

A few minutes after they left, David and Alex landed in what presumably was her bedroom. Alex looked around in the pitch black, and took a step forward.

"Ow!" Alex hissed.

"What?" David asked, trying to adjust to the darkness.

"I hit my foot on something heavy." Alex answered. "Why is the couch moved to right here?"

"Wait..." David said. He took a few steps towards a wall, and flicked on a switch. The lit room signaled to the two teenage friends that their location was really different. It was not the Russo's living room at all.

"Great. We are in my house." David said. Alex looked at the newly lit room, and noticed that they were indeed in David's living room.

"Don't worry, all we have to do is-" SNAP.

"What was that?" David asked her.

Alex bent down, and picked up two pieces of wood, and looked to her friend with worry on her face.

"That's your wand." David told her.

"It WAS my wand." Alex said, holding the two pieces of her broken wand in her two hands.

Then a look of worry got on her face as she looked at her friend. "Do you know what this means?" Alex asked David.

David was silent, then it dawned on them at the same moment. David looked at Alex with the worry on her face and listened to the growing fear in her voice, and that dawned in the young man.

"WE'RE TRAPPED!" Alex and David screamed at the same moment.

AN: Well, they are trapped at David's house for Christmas, and that means one thing. Well I am not going to spoil it for you right now, but things will get worse for the couple. Wait and see what I mean...
