Disclaimer: Nope. I own no one in this chapter.
Joss Carter was having trouble sleeping that Christmas Eve night. Seeing that it was still dark outside, the seven year old crawled out of bed and tiptoed down the dark hallway and into the living room.
Usually when she couldn't sleep, Joss would turn on the television. Her parents never knew she would occasionally sneak out of her room in the middle of the night and watch television. This had been going on for quite some time now. She always made sure to never fall asleep on the couch. Otherwise, her parents would ban her from television for a week.
When Joss walked into the living room that Christmas Eve night, she was unaware that she wasn't alone. Just a few feet away from her, Santa Claus was placing gifts under the Christmas tree. Finally, she turned and saw him. She didn't seem too happy about it either.
With her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face, she marched right over to Santa Claus. She didn't care that she was much smaller than he was, she was determined to give him a piece of her mind.
'What do you think you're doing," she rudely asked.
Santa turned and saw her. He was about to say something, until she interrupted him.
"Don't talk while I'm talking! That's rude," Joss snapped. "Now what are you doing in my home?"
Santa couldn't help but laugh. He just couldn't be angry at the little girl's ranting.
"There's no need to be angry, Joss. I was only…"
"How do you know my name," Joss interrupted him. "You don't look like the Santa Claus I saw at the mall last week!"
"That was just one of my helpers. I send all my helpers to malls to find out what all the good little boys and girls would like for Christmas and then they send me the list up at the North Pole," Santa explained.
"What list am I on," Joss demanded to know. She stamped her foot as she waited for an answer.
"Well if you were on the naughty list, I wouldn't be here, now would I," Santa grinned.
Joss rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I don't know. I'm not a genius," she rudely answered. "Now, what else does that so called nice list say about me," she used air quotes on the words "nice list".
"Nothing," said Santa. "It just says you've been a very good girl this year."
Joss's angry scowl relaxed a bit.
"Oh. Well I'm going to bed now. Arguing with you has made me very sleepy," she turned off the television and turned to go back down the dark hallway that lead to her bed room. She stopped suddenly and turned back to Santa Claus. The scowl had returned to her face.
"You better not wake up my parents and tell them I was out of bed," she warned.
Santa smiled at the little girl. "I promise I won't tell them," he said as he watched as Joss march down the dark hallway and into her bed room.
End of chapter two. I 'd love to know what you all thought. So please leave me some reviews. Chapter three will be up as soon as possible.
