My most sincere apologies to my brother, and a thanks to him as well for being so patient.
ATTENTION! I am now making a three-chapter holiday special! As well as a special new member to the Friendship Gulag! Okay then, enjoy!
Ah, the library. One of the last places that I ever expected to be for the holidays. But, Lori wanted us all to volunteer for reading stories here to the kids for Disney Day.
"Oh! By the way readers," Abtash spoke,
"Who are you talking to, Abtash?" I asked.
"Don't mind him," Amy sighed, "he's just breaking the fourth wall again."
"A-hem." Abtash coughed. "Like I was saying, Disney Day is basically like Christmas for us. We celebrate it on Decmber 5, the day that Walt Disney himself was born! Even though it's past that day in your world, over here it's December 1! Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey...stuff. Hehe, references."
The library was huge. Give in mind, not as huge as the one Belle owns (but she was the one who donated all of the money that the school needed to build the thing), but it's still a lot more big than any average school library. Arches with delicate designs on them filled the room, and stained glass windows were everywhere. Each window told the story of any and every Disney tale ever, so there are always new windows being added. The biggest windows were the ones for Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Cinderella, you know, all of the "grand" stuff. My mom's story was a pretty big window as well, I mean, considering they won an Oscar. The smaller windows were for sequels and live-action things. Part of me felt a little bad inside that all of my friends had very small windows. I didn't even want the dumb attention anyways. It's stupid that people like me just because I'm the daughter of "the almighty Queen Elsa of Arendelle."
As more kids began to come, I started to get nervous. Today, I was going to read A Disney Carol, and I really didn't want to. Once the library was pretty full, all of the kids sat down on the floor, waiting for the story.
"Good afternoon, kids!" said the kind voice of the librarian Belle.
"Good afternoon, princess." they all repeated back. Through the sea of children, I could see my little cousin, Ava. She smiled at me enthusiastically and waved. I made a small smile and made a tiny wave back.
"Today we are going to have a special guest read for us today. Princess Evelyn of Arendelle!" All of the kids cheered with joy. I gulped and walked over to the fancy, cushioned velvet seat in front of the warm fireplace. I picked up the book next to me. I began to read:
"It was a snowy, day in early December, and all was merry and bright. Well, all that is, except for Mr. Scrooge. Mr. Scrooge was an old duck who was no doubt the richest man in town, and certainly the meanest-"
"Excuse me." I heard a voice call out. I put the book down and saw the hand of a princess up in the air. She wore a light green dress and had dirty blonde hair.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I don't mean to interrupt, but we have all heard this story precisely one hundred and thirteen times. Couldn't we possibly hear a different story?" she spoke in an elegant and bored voice.
"Amber!" a girl with a purple dress sitting next to the girl said.
"Looks like the kids are getting bored." spoke a familiar harsh voice. I turned to see Lanie, standing there with an amused smile on her face.
"Lanie!" Abtash pointed.
"What are you doing here?" Lori asked.
"Aw, no need to be rude, I just came to hear the story."
"More like criticize Evelyn." Amy mumbled.
"Oh! Lanie!" Natalia flew over to her. "I have a present for you!" she held out a small box with a bow. Lanie grabbed it from the fairy's hands and opened it. It was a bead necklace with half of a heart on it.
"I have the other half, see?" She pulled out a matching necklace with the other half.
"Um...yeah...that's...great." She smiled and threw the necklace in the trash can behind her. I rolled my eyes. How could Nat be so oblivious? Doesn't she get it that Lanie hates her guts out?
"Anyways, Evie," Lanie came by and touched my shoulder.
"Don't called me Evie." I gritted beneath my teeth. Lanie smiled.
"Don't mind me, I'll just be back here taking a video of the whole thing." she then leaned close and whispered into my ear:
"Your heart is so frozen I bet you don't even know what Disney is all about." That was when I lost it. Seriously?! I'm the one with the frozen heart?! I closed the book and slammed it onto the desk next to me.
"So then, you are going to tell a different story?" Amber grinned. I grinned back.
"As a matter of fact, yes, I am going to tell a different story. And this one is called A Very Sketchy Christmas.
"Yay!" Ava cheered, then se stopped. "So where's the book for it?"
"No need, I know this story by the heart. Now then, let's begin."
"It was a cold, winter's day. December 4, to be exact. All of the kids in Disney Academy were excited to be out of school."
"Disney Academy?!" a kid asked.
"That's where we are!" another kid squealed.
"Am I in the story?"
"I hope I'm in the story!"
"QUIET!" I shouted, and immediately everyone hushed up.
"As I was saying..."
As Evelyn goes on narrating, the reader is taken into a screenshot of the story. The castle-like school was all covered with white snow. All of the students were rushing out of the building, happy to be free from their education for the next two weeks. Throughout Main Street (which is basically a huge bustling, 1900's-style street), lights, wreaths, and decorations hung the place. Carolers singing Disney songs walked up and down the streets, shoppers were buying gifts for their loved ones, and happiness was bursting from everyone. Everyone, except for Lanie Scrooge, the richest and meanest person around. She was cruel to everyone, and all she cared about was her own self.
As she rode in her pumpkin carriage that was taking her home, she frowned at all of the content faces.
"Ugh."
Once she got home to her castle, one of her servants came up to the princess.
"Princess Lanie! Some visitors have arrived to sing to you."
Lanie walked to the doors to see who these visitors were, only to find that they were carolers.
"Who's the leader of the club
that's made for you and me?"
"GO AWAY!"
"But that's not the leader! The leader is-"
"I mean GO AWAY!" And they did so.
"Whatever."
Soon enough, it was getting late, and the stars were twinkling in the sky. Lanie looked up, and made the same wish she did every year on the wishing star.
"I wish that Disney Day never existed."
And with that, she went to bed, same as always, but before she did, she heard clattering not that far away from her chambers, and they were coming closer.
"Who's there?" she asked nervously. But she shook it off. Until she felt something tap her shoulder. Lanie turned around and screamed.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Welp! That's all for now! Hope you guys enjoy!
