[That night, at Santa's workshop, Nonny is speaking to Santa.]

Santa: So, I hear you're going on a little journey to the big city.

Nonny: Yup. I'm kind of nervous. The snowman says Bubble City is pretty different.

Santa: Oh, don't pay attention to Him. He's never been anywhere. He doesn't have any feet. I've been to Bubble City thousands of times.

Nonny: Really?

Santa: Mm-hmm

Nonny: What's it like?

Santa: Well, there are some things you should know. First off, you see gum on The street, leave it there. It's not free candy. Oh. Second, there are, like, 30 ray's pizzas. They all claim to be the original, but the real one' son 11th. And if you see a sign that Says "peep show," that doesn't mean that they're letting you look at presents before Christmas.

Nonny: Does everybody there dress like this?

Santa: Ehhh well during this time of year but we are giving you some official clothes just to help you on your trip.

Nonny: Ok. I sure wonder how my dad will view me.

Santa: Yeah, that's the other thing I wanted to talk to you about. You know, Nonny... [he sighs] Your father... Well... he's on the naughty list.

Nonny: (really shocked) Uh oh

[In Bubble City at work]

Peekytoe: You're taking the books back?

Nonny's Father: See, I... I see what you're trying to do here. Y-You're trying to make me feel bad, when, in actuality, you're the one that missed the payments.

Peekytoe: But the children love the books.

Nonny's Father: I know that, uh... you know, I'm the one that ran The focus groups, but I like hearing that.

[Back at Santa's Workshop]

Santa: Here's the thing, some people, just lose sight of what's important in life. That doesn't mean they can't find their way again, huh? Maybe all they need is just a little Christmas spirit.

[All the elves cheer]

Nonny: Well, uh, I... I'm kinda good at that.

Santa: I know you are

[Mr. Grouper gives Nonny the snowglobe of Bubble City]

Mr. Grouper: And I'll...I'll always, uh, I'll always be here for you.

[The two hug for how much they'll miss eachother]

[At night Nonny heads out saying goodbye to his little friends]

Nonny: Bye, guys.

Snow Friends: Bye, Nonny. Take care.

[Jumps on to the ice holding a bag of his new clothes. Suddenly a pointy horn appears from underneath]

Mr. Narwhal: Bye, Nonny. Hope you find your dad.

Nonny: Ehhh Thanks, Mr. Narwhal. (waves) Bye.

[He drifts along the cold sea through a haze, transitioning from the MAGIC LAND of the north pole to the REAL WORLD. Nonny trudges through a massive snow field. Each step he takes goes down five feet deep. He is half-way there. He's now clearly in the real world. He walks through a choppy, muddy, snowy terrain and hides behind a tree to put his regular clothes on and put his elf suit in his bag. Ounce he's dressed Nonny walks through a forest and sees a highway. As he walks down the highway he timidly inches his way through a tunnel along the walkway, pressed up against the wall while traffic roars by. Soon he exits to the sight of the towering skyline of Big Bubble City with the sun breaking over it. Nonny is caught up in the rhythms of the street and begins noticing the mundane details of this new world with amazement but still doesn't smile]

[Nonny then walks up to the Big Bubble Building and holds up his snowglobe and compares the building to his toy one. But as he attempts to walk in he pauses as Santa's words of his father echo in his head.]

Nonny: I've gotta wait. He might be too busy. I need to find a place that keeps me comfortable.

[He then looks across the street and sees Lobsters Department Store. As he looks both ways and crosses the street, He walks throught the halls looking stunned but still no smile. After walking up the escalator in fear he uses the restroom.]

Nonny: (walking out looking in pain) That real hurt real bad.

[After looking at a map he walks into a store he finds called Toy Land. It's almost dressed like the north pole but no snow, just merchandise of toys. However he does see a group of 7 other kids playing around with eachother, 3 of them wild and 4 of them acting good. Nonny walks through the gate and looks at the papers of Christmas tree artwork they've made.]

[Across from him are the kids]

Gil: Hey guys can we stop please it's the holidays.

Wild Child 1: So what?

Oona: Santa's not gonna be pleased when he comes tomorrow.

Deema: He has a naughty and nice list you know.

Wild Child 2: So what he expects us to act like that orange hair kid over there? (pointing at nonny)

[The wild ones laugh and walks away]

Deema: (sighs and looks over at Nonny) Who is that kid over there?

Gil: He must be new.

Goby: He seems a little shy

Deema: Probably cause he's intimidated by those 3 others. Let's apologize to him for their behaviors

Oona: Wait. Why don't i go talk to him instead.

Goby: Hmm...Ok

Gil: Be careful

[She nods with a kind smile walks towards Nonny who's still looking at the art.]

Oona: Hi

Nonny: (looks over to her) Hello (scoots closer to her and looks at art again)

Oona: Beautiful isn't it?

Nonny: Yes. Did you make these?

Oona: Well we all made them. This one here is mine. (pointing at her paper made Christmas tree covered in green, silver, and multi colored glitter.)

Nonny: That's terrific

Oona: Thanks. I can't wait for Christmas. I just wanna sing, You know what i mean?

Nonny: Yep. As i was told the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

Oona: That sounds great.

[He nods but then looks down with a little frown as she wonders]

Oona: Are you okay?

Nonny: (looks back at her) Yeah i'm fine

Oona: Are you sure? You look sad

Nonny: It's just the expression i've had ever since my birth.

Oona: What you mean? It's Christmas season you should be happy?

Nonny: Well no i am it's just hard to tell cause i've never chuckled or smiled in my life. ever

Oona: Aww come on. Don't you think it's time to turn that frown upside down? (grabs his dimples and raises them to make them look like he's smiling. She then lets go unsuccessfully) Have your parents tried to get you to smile?

Nonny: Actually growing up i had 1 parent that helped take care of me before i came here.

Oona: Ooohhhh

Toy Land Manager: (Walks over to them) Ok kids i'm gonna let you go now but if you wanna come back tomorrow, 10 am Santa's coming to town.

[All of them except Nonny cheered]

Nonny: {Thinking} {What? But how? Isn't he busy getting ready for the flight?}

Oona: Well i guess i'll see you tomorrow ok?

Nonny: Ok. Ummm my name's Nonny by the way.

Oona: Oh ok. My name's Oona (shakes his hand) (waves nicely) See you later Nonny.

[He blushes a little as she walks away with the other 3 good kids]

Nonny: {Well...at least i made 1 human friend today}
