Jake Long III (Season One)
Chapter/Episode 13: Christmas in the Eye
It was Christmas Eve, and on the Island of Draco, Jake III and Cherri were walking along in the snow after training, more snow falling down. Cherri was still in her dragon form, but this didn't help her against the cold like Jake's warm clothing did. She shivered, alerting Jake's presence and making him turn his head to the side. "You okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah." Cherri said, smiling gratefully. "Thanks for asking. I'll be fine for a few more minutes. I just need to get inside." She finished as Jake turned his head back to normal.
"I heard that." Jake agreed.
"Come on, here's a shortcut." Jake III said as they turned and started to make their way through the space in-between two buildings. However, they both froze when they saw Councilor Dingane, in his dragon form, sitting against the wall, all alone in the snow, his head lowered.
"What's he doing?" Jake III asked. "Doesn't he know he could freeze?"
"Is he alright?" Cherri asked.
"I'll go find out." Jake III said as he started to walk over to the Councilor. Reaching him, Jake III knelt down right in front of him. "Councilor Dingane?" He asked.
Slowly, Dingane lifted his head up, staring into Jake's eyes. Jake III could tell that something was wrong. Dingane looked sad, like he didn't care that he was sitting all alone in the freezing cold weather.
"Ar...Are you okay, Councilor?" Jake III asked carefully.
"I'm fine, Mr. Long." Dingane croaked.
"Ar...Are you sure?"
"Yes." Dingane replied. "There is no need to worry. I am perfectly fine."
"Perhaps you should get inside." Jake III suggested.
"I'd rather not."
"But you could freeze."
"I assure you, Mr. Long." Dingane said, his voice slowly getting stronger. "I can take care of myself. If I feel like I'm going to turn into a popsicle, I'll be sure to get my tail inside. Now, if you don't mind, I want to be alone."
"Um, okay." Jake III said uneasily before he straightened up, turned and jogged on over to Cherri, passing by her. "Come on." Jake III told Cherri as the older dragon slowly turned. "We need to leave him."
LINE BREAK
A few moments later, the doors to the Main Hall were opened, Jake III and Cherri walking inside, where they could see Councilor Asil sitting alone, looking down at something. However, when the doors closed behind Cherri and Jake III, Asil looked up at them.
"Oh, hello." Asil addressed them as they reached the table. "Can I be of some help?"
"Councilor Dingane." Jake III said.
"Yes, what about him?" Asil asked.
"He's all alone out in the snow." Jake III said. "Cherri and I found him and we got worried. I tried to talk to him, but he didn't want to talk. He...He looks like he lost his best friend."
"More like his position, actually." Asil said, shame in his tone.
"What?!" Jake III and Cherri asked, their eyes widening.

"What?!" Jake and Cherri asked, their eyes widening. They couldn't believe their ears. "Wait, hold on." Jake continued. "You kicked Councilor Dingane off of the Council?"
"But why?" Cherri asked. "What has he done?"
"Oh, no." Asil smiled, shaking his head once. "No, no, no. That's not what I meant at all. He hasn't lost his place on the Council. We would never do that to him."
"But you just said-" Cherri started, only to get cut off by Asil.
"Yes, he lost his position as the South African Dragon." Asil said. "He lost it a few years ago. It was around this time of year. It might have even been on Christmas Eve. I really can't recall. It's really no surprise that he's down."
"Did he do something to lose his job?" Jake III asked.
"No." Asil answered, shaking his head again. "No, he did not. The reason why we released him from that duty is because we thought that he wasn't quite what South Africa needed. He's a good dragon to be sure, but we felt that the magical creatures in South Africa needed a little more understanding than Dingane could give."
"Understanding?" Jake III asked.
"Yes, understanding." Asil repeated. "Of course, we felt bad about sacking him for such a reason, so we were willing to give him some compensation."
"His place on the Council?" Cherri asked.
"Yes." Asil replied. "It took him awhile, but he accepted it after taking some time to think the offer over. Still, I don't blame him for being sad. It happens."
LINE BREAK
At the Long residence, Jake Jr. arrived at the closed door to his daughter's bedroom, a wrapped present in his hands. "Hey, Rosie." He said with a soft tone and a smile on his face. "Look, I know you've been mad at me for not letting you see your friends anymore, and I know you wanted to go to Essence's family cabin for Christmas, but I only want what's best for you. Rosie, you aren't grounded any more. You can come out now. In fact, I think you should spend today trying to find some new friends. Rosie, I just want to make up with you. So, I thought I would give you an early gift. It's not your biggest present, but I think you'll like it."
There was no answer from Rosie.
"Rosie, come on." Jake Jr. said, turning and grabbing the doorknob, opening the door and stepping in, only to gasp and drop the present he held. The window to Rosie's room was wide open, letting the freezing winter air into the room. Her pillow and her covers were also gone, like Rosie had packed them up and left.
Jake Jr.'s eyes narrowed. He knew where his daughter had went. "Rosaline Long..." He growled angrily.
LINE BREAK
With an old suitcase in her clawed hand, Rosie flew through the air, reaching the mountain cabin that belonged to Essence's family. Landing a few feet away from it, Rosie reverted to her human form and stared at the cabin. It was huge for a cabin; two stories, a beautiful door and a huge front porch.
Reaching the porch, Rosie walked up to the door, and knocked three times. Taking a step back from the door, Rosie only had to wait for about five seconds before the door opened, Noelia, in her human form, stepping out onto the porch. Immediately, Noelia's face lit up. "Rosie!" She exclaimed. "We hadn't heard from you in like, three weeks. We thought you weren't coming."
"Well, you thought wrong." Rosie said with a smile.
"Come on in." Noelia said, taking a step back. "Essence's parents went to the store. They should be back soon."
"Great." Rosie said as she started to walk in.
In one room of the cabin, there was a large Christmas tree with ornaments in the branches and presents underneath on one side of the room, while on the other side of the room, Essence, Patience and Lucero was standing in front of a shelf, where there was a Menorah with five lit candles.
"You are so lucky, Essence." Patience said with a smile. "Because you were adopted by Christians, you get to celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah. More presents for you." She put her hand on the smiling Essence's shoulder.
"They're Catholics, actually." Essence replied. "Honestly, I'm just glad that they accept me and love me as their daughter, seeing as I'm a dragon."
"And devoutly Jewish." Lucero added.
"No, no." Essence's smile widened. "They actually find Jewish holiday traditions to be very interesting."
At that moment, both Noelia and Rosie walked into the room. "Hey, how's your hand?" Noelia asked.
"Healed." Rosie replied. "Completely."
"Hey, guys!" Noelia called, making Lucero, Essence and Patience turn, their faces all lighting up. "Guess who's here!" Noelia put a hand on Rosie's shoulder.
LINE BREAK
On the Island of Draco, Haley, in her dragon form, carried homemade eggnog in the glass cup of a blender, a red ribbon attached to the lid. As Haley walked on, she passed by Lin-Lin, who was in her form, walking in the opposite direction.
However, Lin-Lin abruptly stopped when a snowball smacked her in the face. A few feet away, Regan, also in her dragon form, clutched her belly as she laughed. Seething with anger, Lin-Lin transformed into her dragon form in a bright light.
"Come over here and I'll show you something funny!" Lin-Lin raged.
"Easy, there." Regan said as she walked over to Lin-Lin, finally reaching her. "You mean to tell me that you can't even lighten up on Christmas?"
"You hit me." Lin-Lin stated, crossing her scaly arms.
"Yeah, it's called a snowball fight."
"I don't want to play." Lin-Lin narrowed her eyes.
"You too busy being a Scrooge?" Regan asked with a small smile. "Well, I hope you're willing to put your Scrooge-ish disposition aside for tonight."
"Why tonight?"
"It's the annual Christmas party." Regan grinned. "We're all invited! It's one night to just relax and have fun with our fellow magical creature."
"I'm not going." Lin-Lin said firmly, lowering her arms to her sides.
"I want you to." Regan said, nearing a pleading tone. "Please, Lin-Lin."
LINE BREAK
Jake III walked around the corner of a building, only to freeze in his tracks when he saw Haley smiling at him, the eggnog still in her clawed hands. "There you are, Jake." She said happily.
"What do you want?" Jake scowled at her.
"I...I...I made you some eggnog." Haley said as she slowly walked over to him, finally reaching him and holding it out. "I actually made it. I didn't buy it."
"That's nice." Jake III crossed his arms.
"Jake, I know I hurt you, but-"
"At least you acknowledge it." Jake III told her.
"Please, Jake." Haley pleaded. "It's Christmas. Can we please put this in the past? Please take the eggnog. I made it for you."
"Well, I don't want it." Jake said before he turned and walked around his Great Aunt.
"But...But..." Haley stammered, slowly turning around to watch Jake III go. "...But what am I supposed to with this?!"
"Give it to someone who cares!" Jake III shouted, not looking back.
LINE BREAK
Back at the cabin, Essence, Patience and Lucero were sitting in somewhat of a half-circle. Lucero set a blue Dreidel down on the floor and flicked it, the toy starting to spin around on the floor.
Still in the doorway, Noelia and Rosie faced each other, both drinking eggnog. "Listen, Rosie..." Noelia began as Rosie took a drink of her eggnog. "...I'm really sorry for burning your hand. It was a really stupid plan."
"I forgive you." Rosie replied. "If I didn't, I wouldn't be here right now."
"You've got a point there." Noelia said with a smile as she and Rosie cheered each other, clashing their glasses together.
Meanwhile, the dreidel was still spinning in front of Lucero. "Dang, girl." Patience said in awe.
"Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel." Lucero sang. "I made it out of clay, and when it's dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play!"
"Okay, first of all..." Patience pointed out. "...You didn't make that thing..."
"...My birth parents got it for me for my very first Hanukkah." Essence finished. "And second, it's already dry and you're already playing." Both Essence and Patience then started to laugh, but their laughter came to an abrupt end as the entire cabin started to shake, the dreidel dropping over onto its side and Noelia and Rosie being forced to turn to face the others, dropping their grasses where they shattered on the floor.
"What's happening?!" Noelia shouted.
If they had all been outside, they would have known the answer. An avalanche was occurring, and now, the snow was swooping over the cabin, completely covering it in a blanket of snow.
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Cherri, in her human form, was kneeling at the side of a bed inside a room, a smile on her face as she wrapped a present. However, when two knocks hit her door, her smile vanished. "Coming!" Cherri called before she slowly got to her feet. Then, she turned and walked over to the door. Reaching the door, Cherri opened it, only to see a sad-looking Haley, in her human form, holding the eggnog.
"You okay?" Cherri asked.
"Not really." Haley replied before she held out the present for Cherri to take. "Here's some eggnog. I made it myself."
"You made that for me?" Cherri smiled.
"Actually, it was for Jake. He turned it down." Haley replied. "So, I want you to have it."
"Well, that's sweet, Haley." Cherri said. "But you should give it to Jake. And if he doesn't want it, you can serve it at Holly's annual Christmas party."
"You going?" Haley asked.
"No." Cherri took a step back. "I'm going to go spend Christmas Eve with Savannah. I'm wrapping her present right now. I think it will cheer her up."
"Are you sure you don't want it?" Haley asked again.
Cherri smiled before she reached up and put a hand on Haley's cheek. "I think you should go to the party. Jake will probably be there. Who knows? You could talk to him and make up with him. You never know. I think it would be worth it."
Haley couldn't help but smile. "You think?" She asked, but she didn't wait for Cherri to respond before she finished: "You know what? You might be right, Cherri. I'll go."
LINE BREAK
Councilor Yara, in her human form, opened the doors to a building and stepped into the hall, seeing Councilor Dingane, in his dragon form, walking down the hall, about to turn down into another hall.
"Oh, Councilor!" Yara called out, making Dingane stop in his tracks. "Councilor, are you going to the party tonight?"
"No!" Dingane exclaimed before he quickly turned around the corner.
Moments later, Dingane opened the door to his room and stepped in, slamming the door behind him. With a sigh, he started to walk over to his bed. However, just as he reached his bed, he gasped and jumped back as a messenger fairy appeared in a puff of smoke, the messenger fairy holding a square box.
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Dingane demanded angrily.
"No, babe." The female messenger fairy said in a raspy voice. "You're way too young for that. Way too healthy. Anyway, package." She held it out, Dingane slowly reaching out and taking it.
"Who's it from?" Dingane asked.
"You'll have to open it up to find out." The messenger fairy said. "I really don't know."
Using his free hand, Councilor Dingane opened up the rather small box and found a folded note in the box. Taking it out, he used his mouth to unfold the paper, then he stared at it. "Kagiso?" He asked. "That scaly-?"
"Just read it." The messenger fairy said.
"Dear Dingane..." Dingane read. "...Believe me when I say that I've wanted to tell you that I hope there are no hard feelings between us. As a Christmas gift, I sent you this. I'm sorry it took so long, but it was hard to find. I hope you enjoy it. I'm sure you will. Love, Kagiso."
Lowering the note, Dingane looked into the box, seeing a small blue circle attached to a necklace chain. Within the blue circle was a white circle, and a small black circle within the white circle. It all resembled an eye.
Reaching in, Dingane pulled it out by its chain. Then, dropping the box, he carefully put it on. However, the second the eye part of the necklace touched his scaly skin, it started to glow, Dingane's eyes starting to glow as well.
"You look handsome." The fairy said flirtatiously. "Yes, you look-" However, before she could continue, Dingane roared and swiped at her with his claws, the fairy backing up just in time.
"Whoa, I take it back! You're psycho!" The fairy said with wide eyes before she vanished in a puff of smoke. Now alone, Councilor Dingane roared.
LINE BREAK
That night, Cherri, in her human form and with Savannah's present in her hands, turned around the corner of a building, but she froze when she saw that Councilor Dingane was standing, in his dragon form and completely still, right in front of her, his back to her.
"Um, Councilor Dingane?" Cherri asked.
In a flash, Councilor Dingane spun around. His eyes still glowing, along with the eye around his neck, he roared before he lunged at her.
LINE BREAK
At the Main Hall, Lin-Lin, in her human form, stepped in through the open doors, only to freeze when she stared at everyone in the room. Councilor Asil, wearing special dress robes, was talking to a male Dragon Council Agent, who instead of wearing their uniform, wore a nice suit. Then, a few feet to the side, Desideria, Kalle and Santxo were together. Desideria and Kalle wore nice dresses that matched their dragon form colors, and Santxo was wearing a Charcoal-colored dress shirt and a pair of slacks. All three of them were having drinks.
Scowling, Lin-Lin continued through the room, finally finding Regan and Sillian talking to each other at a table. Regan wore a Debian Red-colored dress with reindeer antlers on her head, while Sillian wore an Ash Grey-colored suit, as well as a red Santa hat on his head. They both held drinks in their hands, while Regan held a plate of cookies in her other hand.
"Yeah, it is a nice party." Sillian told Regan. "About as nice as last year's."
"Regan..." Came the growl of Lin-Lin, making both Regan and Sillian turn around to see a very angry-looking Lin-Lin, her arms crossed and a scowl on her face.
"Merry Christmas, Lin-Lin." Sillian said with a smile.
"Whoa, Lin-Lin..." Regan said. "...You weren't supposed to come here dressed up like that. You're supposed to look nice."
"Well, then why didn't you tell me that earlier?!" Lin-Lin demanded.
"I thought it was a given." Regan said.
Clenching her fists and growling with anger, Lin-Lin got up to Regan and pointed at her angrily. "Why did I let you convince me to come to this stupid party?!"
"Lin-Lin, calm down." Sillian advised as Lin-Lin stepped back. "You're here now and that's all that matters." Sillian smiled. "You should have a fun time here. Look, here's some food." He said as he turned and indicated the table they were standing against.
Sillian and Regan both stepped to the side, allowing the annoyed Lin-Lin to step up to the table, only to see that the table was filled with only fruitcakes.
"Fruitcake?" Lin-Lin asked with disgust. "Whose sick idea was this?"
"That would be mine, Agent Clark." The sound of Holly's voice came from behind Lin-Lin, making Lin-Lin quickly turn around to see a displeased-looking Holly. "Do you have a problem with that, Agent Clark?" She narrowed her eyes.
"I-"
"Don't really answer that." Holly told her. "Look, Agent Clark. This is supposed to be fun. If you're going to put forth your bitter attitude, then maybe you should just go."
"I'd love-" Lin-Lin started, but Regan stopped her by putting a hand on her shoulder.
"She'll behave, Councilor Jennings." Regan said.
"Hmm, I certainly hope so." Holly said before she turned and walked away.
Sighing, Lin-Lin turned to face Regan, only to widen her eyes as she saw that Regan was holding up a small, wrapped box.
"Wh...What's this?" Lin-Lin asked.
"Your present." Regan smiled. "That's why I wanted you to come, Lin-Lin. I wanted to give this to you."
"I...I don't know what to say." Lin-Lin couldn't help but smile.
"Open it." Regan said as she tossed it over to Lin-Lin, Lin-Lin easily catching it. "Then tell me what you have to say."
"Um, okay." Lin-Lin now seemed happy as she brought her free hand up and started to unwrap it. Regan watched smiling the whole time as she did so. Finally, Lin-Lin opened up a small box and looked in to it, seeing a red ball.
"Um, what is this?" Lin-Lin asked, looking up at Regan.
"It's a stress ball." Regan said. "I found it in an antique shop. When I saw it, it made me think of you."
"Gee, thanks." Lin-Lin said, now frowning.
Meanwhile, Haley, in her human form, stood behind a table, all of her eggnog poured into small plastic cups. "What is this?" Agata asked with a smile on her face as she and Councilor Yara, both in their human forms and both wearing dress robes, walked up to her table.
"Eggnog." Haley answered. "I made it myself."
"Generous of you." Agata said as she and Yara reached down and each took a cup.
"Yeah, enjoy." Haley replied before both Agata and Yara nodded and turned, walking away. Looking ahead, Haley's eyes widened as she saw Jake III talking with a female Dragon Council Agent, both of them walking over to her table, although Jake didn't seem to know that she was at the table.
"Jake!" Haley called, making Jake III and the girl turn their heads back to normal, both staring at Haley as she smiled and waved hopefully.
Sighing, Jake III turned his head to the side. "I got to go." He told her.
A few seconds later, he reached the table. "What are you doing here?" He asked, putting his hands on his hips.
"Eggnog?" Haley asked hopefully, holding out a cup. She forced herself to smile, even though she feared rejection.
"What are you doing here?" Jake III repeated, keeping his hands on his hips and not reaching out for the cup.
"Can't I be here?" Haley asked.
"No, really." Jake III asked. "You told me earlier that that eggnog was for me. Now, you're-"
"You told me to give it some somebody who cared." Haley said. "Isn't that what you told me?"
"I want an honest answer." Jake III told her. "Really? Why are you here?"
"I want to make up with you." Haley admitted as she lowered the cup. "I want to put what happened before in the past. Jake, that was over a month ago. Please, trust me when I say that I never meant to hurt you."
"How can I trust someone who doesn't believe in me?" Jake III asked her softly.
At that moment, the doors to the Main Hall, which had been closed, flew open and Dingane flew in with a roar, making all of the partygoers turn around to face him.
"Councilor?" Asil asked as he and Councilor Agata walked up towards him.
Councilor Dingane stared at the two Councilors with his glowing eyes for a brief few seconds before he finally roared and started to fly toward them, but was stopped as Cherri's dragon tail shot out and wrapped around his neck, stopping Councilor Dingane in his tracks. Hovering in the air was Cherri, bruised, but okay.
"Dragon Solorio, what happened to you?" Agata asked.
"Councilor Dingane attacked me!" Cherri replied. "Don't worry. I should be fine." Then, with a grunt, Cherri yanked Dingane back with her tail and threw him out of the hall. Panting, Cherri lowered herself onto the floor.
"What's gotten into him?" Yara asked as she and Holly walked up to Asil and Agata.
"I don't know." Cherri answered. "All I know is that when I went to go visit Savannah, I ran into him and attacked me."
At that moment, Councilor Dingane leapt back into the room and tackled Cherri. As Cherri cried out in pain, Agata, Asil, and Yara all transformed into their dragon forms in bright lights. However, this failed to stop Councilor Dingane from turning and throwing Cherri out of the hall. Cherri flew back for several seconds before she grunted as she landed on her back in the snow.
Quickly, Agata, Asil and Yara all flapped their wings and flew at Dingane. Reaching Dingane first, Councilor Asil slammed his tail into Dingane, flinging Dingane out of the hall. Agata, Asil and Yara all then flew out after him.
In the hall, Desideria scowled as she crossed her arms. "Go on." She ordered, both Kalle and Santxo transforming into their dragon form in bright lights. Then, they turned and flew over to two separate tables, Kalle reaching a table that had no dragons nearby, while Santxo flew up to the table that Lin-Lin, Sillian and Regan were at. Forcing the occupants to move away, Santxo grabbed the tablecloth and effortlessly yanked it off of the table, while still keeping all of fruitcake on the table. Kalle did the same. Then, the two of them flew out into the winter night.
Outside, Dingane was down in the snow, Asil hovering in front of him and Yara hovering above him. When Dingane tried to get up, Asil slammed his tail into him, knocking him down onto the ground again.
Snarling with anger, Dingane flapped his wings and flew into the air, only to have Yara's tail slam down on him, knocking him back down into the snow. However, Dingane managed to wrap his tail around Asil's ankle. Pulling, Asil yelped as he was thrown to the ground.
Getting up onto his knees, Dingane flapped his wings and flew forward, only to roar as he flew right into Councilor Agata's tail, throwing him back and making him land in the snow.
Councilor Agata then turned her head in both directions as Kalle and Santxo arrived at each of her sides, holding the table cloths.
"Good." Agata said as she turned her head back to normal. "Wrap him up."
Moments later, Haley and Jake III both walked out of the Main Hall and they both walked up to where Santxo and Kalle were standing. They could see that Asil, Holly and Yara, all in their dragon forms were looking down on Dingane, who was lying on his back, struggling against the table cloths that had been used to bind him.
Somehow, the eye necklace had gotten on top of the cloth, so that when Agata knelt down, she was able to grab it. "What is this?" She asked. Dingane roared in protest, but that didn't stop Agata from pulling it free from his neck. Immediately after it left his neck, Dingane's eyes stopped glowing.
"Councilor Jennings?" Agata asked as she straightened up, holding the eye by its chain, the eye no longer glowing. "What is this?"
"I think I recognize this." Holly said as she reached out and took the chain. Pulling it closer, Holly turned her head to the side and inspected it. "Yes...Yes, I do recognize this." Turning her head back to normal, she declared: "This is the Evil Eye."
Then, the entire Council looked down on Dingane, who now looked confused, like he didn't know how he had gotten into this position. "Councilors." He asked. "How did I-?"
"I'll ask the questions, Dingane." Holly said with narrowed eyes. "How did you get possession of the Evil Eye?"
"The Evil What?" Dingane blinked.
"The Evil Eye." Holly repeated. "It is an ancient object that sends the owner into a violent and hysterical rage. Just like the one you were in. Now, how did you get it?"
"It was sent to me." Dingane honestly said. "As a Christmas present."
"By who?" Holly asked.
"Kagiso."
"Don't be foolish." Asil said. "Kagiso wouldn't send this dangerous object to anyone. She is far too responsible, knowledgeable and peaceful to do something like that. That is why she was chosen to be the South African Dragon."
"I assure you." Dingane said, almost in a pleading voice. "Kagiso sent it to me."
"I want proof." Holly said.
"She left a note with it." Dingane said. "Untie me and I'll show it to you."
LINE BREAK
The next morning, at the cabin, a hole had been dug through the snow that led to the door. Patience, in her dragon form, was crawling through the hole. Once she reached the end of the hole, she reached out with her claws, Noelia giving her a clawed hand; stepping back, the dragon-formed Noelia helped her out.
Then, Noelia, Patience and the also dragon-formed Lucero turned and watched as the human-formed Essence hugged her parents, a smile on her face.
Rosie was watching this through the back window of her father's old car. "Rosaline!" Her father's angry bark made Rosie turn around in the back seat, staring at both of her parents, who were in the front, her father driving the car.
"Well, now you've gone and done it, Rosaline!" Her father ranted.
"I'm sorry." Rosie said as she lowered her head in shame.
"Yeah, only because you got caught!" Her father accused.
"How long am I grounded for this time?" Rosie asked as she lifted her head up.
"Oh, you aren't grounded." Her father said.
"I'm not?" Rosie asked, confused.
"No, I talked to your mother about your punishment on the way here." Her father said. "She agreed with me when I said that grounding you wouldn't do it."
"So, what's my punishment?" Rosie asked nervously.
"We're sending you..." Her father said. "...To boarding school."
LINE BREAK
In the Main Hall on the Island of Draco, Holly stared at the note that Kagiso had sent with the Evil Eye. "Well, I'll be." Holly said as she lowered the note, sitting with Agata, Asil and Yara. "You were telling the truth." She said to Councilor Dingane, who was standing in front of them.
"We are sorry, Councilor." Asil said.
"No need to apologize." Dingane said. "It is I who should be apologizing for any damage I did last night."
"There wasn't much." Holly said, smiling gratefully. "No one was seriously injured, either."
"Cherri Solorio was given a healing potion and told to rest." Yara said. "She will be up and about by tomorrow."
"That's good to hear." Dingane said.
"Yes, it is." Holly said as she set down Kagiso's note. "Now, to another important matter. Dingane?"
"Yes?"
"I want you to look at our schedule." Holly said. "I want to know when the best time to go pay Kagiso a visit is."

A/N: So, I hope you enjoyed this Christmas special. Please review.
