In this concluding chapter, we will find out many things:
My true identity
Who Logan really is
If Logan is going to be ok or not
I can't wait to tell you this final part and for you all to see whether you have guessed right or wrong.
So, for the last time, let's get to the story!
Time stood still.
No one uttered a word.
Everyone could only stare at the fallen boy, not knowing what to do.
Kendall, James and Carlos rushed forward, throwing themselves down beside their friend. The first thing they noticed was how white Logan was. He could blend into the light snow that covered the ground. Logan's breaths were ragged and sharp, a wheezing sound making its way through the silence. His lips were an awful shade of pale blue, telling them that the little oxygen getting through wasn't enough.
Carlos grabbed the boy's hand, but dropped it. The small hand was so incredibly cold. It was like Logan was dead. But he wasn't. The boys all looked to each other. Was Logan dying?
Kendall gently pulled Logan's body into his lap, hoping to give him warmth. He looked down at his little friend, pain clearly etched on his face.
"Logan? Logan can you hear me?" he whispered. He repeated the words, louder and louder, over and over. "Logan! Come on, please! You've got to be able to hear me!" He shouted, shaking Logan's shoulders.
Kendall didn't want much for Christmas. He hadn't put a lot on his Christmas list. He was pretty sure the one thing he did want though, was virtually impossible. You see, Kendall didn't want the latest hair products like James, a new helmet like Carlos or even a practical joke set like his little sister Katie. What Kendall really wanted for Christmas...was someone to share it with. Not his family or a girlfriend. Kendall had found out long ago that he liked his own gender. He had been waiting for that perfect somebody to come along, but they never did.
Then Logan came. Something about the boy gave Kendall butterflies in his stomach. He was so cute and adorable. The way Logan was so determined to bring Christmas back to their town was truly admirable. Ever since Logan arrived out of nowhere, he had been trying to figure of what Logan was hiding, why Logan coughed or threw up when someone mentioned something bad about Christmas. He simply couldn't figure it out though. Logan was that special someone for Kendall, and now he was losing him.
Logan's eyelids started to flutter and he weakly pried them apart. The tired brown orbs looked up at Kendall and ventured over to James and Carlos.
"L-Logan." Kendall said his voice cracking.
"Hey Kendall." Logan whispered, smiling softly.
"Are you...ok?" Carlos asked hopefully. Their hope was crushed when Logan shook his head.
"I'm going, Carlos." He told the boy. "I-I was sent here to complete a mission. I failed." He coughed slightly as he shifted, hissing as the hot, fiery pain returned.
"What mission? You can't leave us Logan!" James cried, tears pouring down his face. The other two boys were crying as well. Even some of the people surrounding them were crying.
"I'm sorry." Logan apologised. "I have to. If I succeeded I would get to move on, if not..." he trailed off.
"No! Logan please!" Kendall all but sobbed. He turned to the crowd. "Someone call 911!" he shouted. A few people took out their phones, but Logan stopped them.
"It's too late, Kendall. I can't be saved. Only you can save me...and that's not going to happen."
"How?" Carlos exclaimed, desperate to stop Logan from dying. "How can we help? We'll do anything! Don't give up on us Logan! Please don't leave us!"
"It doesn't matter, Carlitos. It's over now, I failed and now I'm dying." He took in a huge breath; it was getting hard to breathe. "I've really enjoyed my time here guys. You've shown me what it's like to be a real teenager. Thank you so much. I'll never forget you."
"We'll never forget you either." The three all chorused, tears flowing freely and sobs catching in their throats. They watched as Logan's eyes became duller, his breaths slowing.
"I-If you w-want t-to k-now w-who I r-really a-am..." Logan sucked in a huge breath, it wasn't long now. He only had the strength to say a few more words. "M-my n-name." With that, his eyes closed and his breaths stopped.
Logan was dead.
"Logan! No Logan! Don't do this to us! Please!" Carlos sobbed, clinging to James who was also sobbing.
Kendall too was in pieces, but he was confused. Logan's name?
"Chris Logan Tamispirs" he whispered to himself. When Logan had told him his name the first time, he had hesitated. Was that his real name?
"Chris Tamispirs" he said louder. He thought and thought the cogs in his brain working away...and then in clicked.
"Chris Tamispirs!" he shouted. James and Carlos looked over at him wearily.
"Kendall?" James questioned sadly.
"Logan's real name was Chris Tamispirs! He said that was who he really was. It didn't make sense, but then I realised...it's an anagram!"
The two looked at him confused.
"His name! Christ Tamispirs is an anagram of Christmas spirit! Logan was the actual Christmas spirit!"
Some people gasped at the revelation, one woman fainted. James and Carlos looked back at Kendall.
"And that's why he got sick when people bad mouthed Christmas. They had no Christmas spirit and that meant Logan was harmed." James pieced together.
"And then the tree wouldn't light up...everyone said they hated Christmas! That's why Logan..." Carlos couldn't finish his sentence, looking down at Logan.
"I have an idea." Kendall announced. "But we need everyone to join in." He looked around before starting to sing.
"You better not shout, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why..." his soft voice travelled around, James and Carlos soon joining in themselves.
"Santa Claus is coming to town..." more people realised what they had to do. Noël started sing as well, Mayor Williams and the boys' families.
"He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice..."Half of the crowd were now singing along, smiling and laughing. Their Christmas spirit was coming back.
"Santa Claus is coming to town..." James and Carlos got up, going around and getting everyone to sing, getting everyone to join in. And so they did.
"He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!"
It was like the town had suddenly come alive. Everyone had arms around each other, everyone happy and singing for a good cause. Everyone regaining their Christmas spirit.
"Oh, you better not shout, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why..."
They ended the song, all harmonizing as one.
"Santa Claus is coming...to Christmas Town!"
Kendall smiled and looked down. He was shocked. There was no one there. Logan was gone completely, his arms left empty. He didn't see what hadn't worked. Everyone had their Christmas spirit back, so Logan should have at least woken up.
Suddenly, something flickered behind them. Everyone turned around slowly, to see the most magical site before them. The tree was lit up, but that's not all.
There, right in the middle of the street, was a big, present filled red sleigh. With gold runners and reins, the sleigh was hooked onto 9 reindeer. The one at the front had a lit up red nose and seemed to be smiling.
A man stood beside the sleigh. He was slightly plump, dressed in all red with white trimmings and black boots. He had a white beard and a big, smiling mouth. Santa Claus.
That's me!
I just had to appear in this story and what better way for you to find out who I am!
Yes, your narrator for this story...is the one and only Santa Claus himself.
But oh no, this story isn't over just yet!
"Santa?" Carlos breathed out, loud enough for everyone to hear. The man chuckled.
"Yes Carlos, you are right." He walked closer, still smiling. Everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing. But they had learnt that everything was possible.
"Well done, Kendall" he addressed the blonde. "You and your friends were able to figure it out."
"Yeah, but not in time." Kendall replied sadly. Santa chuckled and looked towards the towns Christmas tree.
"Why Kendall, I would have thought you could believe anything could happen after tonight." He pointed and everyone looked to the tree.
Someone walked towards them. His face no longer pale, but colourful with life. His lips no longer blue, but pink. His eyes no longer dull, but bright and happy like the first time they had seen him. And as he stopped right next to Santa, Kendall finally smiled again.
"Logan." The three boys lunged at their friend and hugged him with all their might. The brown haired boy hugged back, laughing. The three boys swore they had never heard such an amazing sound as Logan's sweet laughter.
"You came back!" Carlos exclaimed once they had let him go.
"Yeah, well I wouldn't have been able to come back if it wasn't for you guys, especially you Kendall."
Kendall blushed but he chose to ignore it. "Thanks, Logan. Thanks for coming back." Logan smiled again and his eyes widened as he remembered something.
"Oh! Everyone, I would like you to meet Santa Claus, my...father" he smiled as Santa pulled Logan into a one armed hug.
The little children all squealed and ran forward hugging the bearded man and collecting presents he gave them.
After a while, Santa sighed. "Alright, I'm afraid we have to be going now. There's a lot of children in the world who'll be waiting for me to give them some presents!" he cried. "Come on, Logan. We need to start work."
Logan nodded and turned to his friends. His expression softened as he realised he had to leave them. "Bye guys, I'll miss you." He said, hugging James and Carlos. He looked at Kendall.
"Can't you stay?" Kendall asked. He had just got Logan back and now he had to say goodbye to him all over again. He thought of ways he could get Logan to stay, but they faded away when Logan shook his head.
"Sorry Kendall. But I have to help my dad and then go onto other towns whose Christmas cheer has disappeared. I need to help them too."
Kendall nodded and hugged his friend, never wanting to let go. He let go and watched as Logan hugged everyone else, before turning around and walking back to the sleigh.
You might think this is the ending.
Well, the ending is near, but I think a good story is one with a happy ending.
Don't you?
"Dad?" Logan asked Santa in a hushed tone, glancing back at his forlorn friends. The man looked at him knowingly.
"You want to stay?" he guessed. Logan nodded.
"Logan, you are needed elsewhere, to help other towns and their people." The wise old man reasoned. Logan sighed.
"I know...but have you looked at Kendall's wish for Christmas?" Logan reached into the sleigh, bringing out the magic list which told Santa exactly what each child wanted. He searched for Kendall's name and showed the thing written there.
Name Christmas Wish:
Kendall Francis Knight – Someone special. His one true love.
Santa sighed and rubbed his beard. He looked at Logan and back at the list. Then he smiled.
"I know that your wish is the same, Logan, is it not?" the boy before him nodded. Santa sighed again. "Well, if Kendall's wish is to get his special someone, I can't not let a wish come true!"
Logan's smile turned into a grin as he raced back to Kendall, wrapping his arms around the blonde boy and pulling him close.
"Y-you're back?" Kendall asked.
"Your Christmas wish is to find your one true love, Kendall. Well...if that's the case, then I'm here to stay." Kendall's face lit up.
"Really?" he gasped.
Logan brought his hands up to Kendall's face, stroking his cheeks. He gave a reassuring smile before leaning forward and closing his eyes. Kendall's hands found their way to Logan's hips and he closed the gap, eyes also falling shut. Their lips connected, fireworks setting off between them. James and Carlos laughed, happy that the two had finally got their Christmas wish.
Pulling apart, the two both smiled at each other. The town clock chimed in the background, 12 times, signalling the start of Christmas day.
Logan smiled and pecked Kendall's lips again.
"Merry Christmas, Kendall." He told him. Kendall brought Logan back into an embrace, resting his head on top of the brunette's.
"No, merry Christmas to you...Logan."
And so ends our little Christmas tale.
About realising the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas Town continued to celebrate Christmas every year after that, each year getting better and better.
The streets would no longer be dull and boring, but filled with lights and laughing children.
The tree in the town square would always be decorated by the town's people on the very first day of December.
Everyone would love giving even more than receiving.
The four boys stayed friends forever more, having many more amazing times together.
And Kendall and Logan always remembered the time that they got their Christmas wishes.
I even visited them sometimes!
I do hope you all liked reading this Christmas tale.
I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
And that all of your very own Christmas wishes come true this Christmas.
So from me to you,
Ho Ho Ho...Merry Christmas!

It would be so nice for you to review the last chapter, letting me know if you liked the story and what you thought of the last chapter :)
Did any of you guess right? As I said, some of you are very good guessers, so well done if you got the narrator, what Logan was or what he meant by going and what his mission was right!
Please please review. It would make my christmas so much better!
