A/N: Sorry! I know I haven't updated in a week, and I'm supposed to everyday. Monday I had a three hour rehearsal for a choir concert, then Tuesday I had musical rehearsal and a two hour choir concert, then Wednesday and Thursday were finals and yesterday was my sister's college graduation party. I will update at least two times a day everyday now. Any who, thanks for reviews! Haha, that rhymed. Enjoy!
"Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"
Carlos's eyes slowly creaked open once more. Bright light filled his eyes and he let out a huge yawn. He had been exhausted from the previous day, when everyone had decorated their houses for Christmas.
Carlos glanced at his clock tiredly, and saw that it was eleven in the morning. He thought for a few minutes, trying to figure out what the date was, until he realized that it was the tenth, a Saturday.
He yawned loudly once more and stretched his arms out as he slumped out of bed and to the bathroom, where he got dressed. He wore jeans and a hoodie, as usual, and his outfit was complete with his trusty helmet slapped onto his head.
He made his way to his kitchen, where he took a couple strips of bacon from the counter and announced to his parents that he was heading to Kendall's house. They just nodded, unfazed, because they were used to him spending time there.
The walk to Kendall's house was cold, but short. They all lived surprisingly close together, and it was one of the many reasons they all became friends.
Carlos finally reached Kendall's house and walked in the front door without knocking, as they were all accustomed to doing. "It's me!" he announced as he walked in slowly.
No one responded, so he walked to the living room, where he found Katie sitting on the couch. "Hey, Katie. Where's Kendork?" he asked.
Katie sat and watched her TV show in a trance for a moment, but then finally turned her attention to Carlos. "Huh? Oh, he's asleep." She said.
"Oh….well, it was a wild night last night." Carlos said with a grin.
"Yup." Was all that Katie said.
"So, what are you watching?" Carlos asked, sitting down on the couch.
Katie scooted over some, then responded, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."
She was referring to the Cartoon Network special based off of the song, which happened to be her favorite. Carlos gave a warm smile, then asked, "Why is this your favorite, anyways?"
Katie shrugged, then said quietly, "I like it when Grandmas are smacked unconscious. Or anyone, for that matter."
Carlos laughed a little bit. Katie was not like any other ten year old he knew. That's probably why she was so much fun to be around, and why her and Kendall got along so well.
"That is not why you like it, liar!" a voice said from the doorway. Carlos looked up to see Kendall standing there, rubbing his eyes.
"Uhh, yeah, it is!"
"No, baby sister, it's not."
"Yeah, it is!"
"No, it's not!"
"Kendall, if Katie says that's why it is, then I'm sure that's the reason." Carlos interrupted.
"No, it's not, because I was there for the real reason. You see, Carlitos, it was around six years ago, when Katie was four, and we were all ten. My mom made me pick Katie up from preschool that day because she had errands to run, and my middle school was only a couple blocks away.
"It was around Christmastime, and it was really cold outside that day, because I had my favorite pair of mittens on with hockey sticks on them. I loved those mittens…anyways, I was halfway to Katie's preschool when suddenly I realized that I wasn't wearing my backpack, and that I must have forgotten it at school.
"So, I went back to school to find it, but couldn't anywhere. I searched all of my classrooms, the cafeteria, the gym, the playground, even the lost and found, but it was nowhere.
"So by this point, I just give up on my backpack, and with a shocked realization, quickly go to get Katie.
"When I get to her preschool, she's sitting all by her little self on the ground with a few tears in her eyes. I pick her up and hug her tightly, and start to carry her home. Halfway through the trip, though, she started bawling, and so, to comfort her, I sang that song, because I knew I would make her laugh. And ever since then, it has been her favorite."
"Wait, wait, wait, Kendall. I was friends with you in middle school, so why don't I remember any of this?" Carlos asked.
"Probably because you were in the hospital with one of your many concussions. Oh, and James and Logan were on vacation for Christmas."
"Oh, isn't that convenient! Everyone except for you either wasn't ther, or just magically doesn't remember it!"
"Hmm, it is pretty convenient, huh? Guess that's just how life works, baby sister."
"That story is a lie, and you know it, Kendall."
"You know what I think?" Kendall asked.
"What?" Katie retorted.
"I think you're just embarrassed, because you cried once in your life, and you like to keep up some tough girl personality."
"That's better than your wimpy girl personality."
"OOOOHHH!" Carlos screamed, and both of them glared at him. "Guess we'll just never know…." He added.
And that, my friends, is how Katie Knight came to like the Christmas special, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!
A/N: HAHAHA, the pun at the end there. Knight, night! LOL.
Well, I feel like everyone in this chapter is too OOC, the chapter is boring, and it just overall sucked. Your opinion matters, though, so please review!
Man, does everyone else think Christmas is coming way too fast? It's pretty sad, if you ask me…
Later!
