The Pirate's First Mate

by RealWereQueen

There he was, rotting away in this prison of his. He never mean't to do it. It was just a malfunction. But now they've forgotten about old Foxy and his great adventures along the seven seas. One day, Foxy overhears a conversation about a new animatronic, one set to be put into the Pirate's Cove. Are they going to replace Foxy? Are they going to turn him into scrap?

14. Christmas Is Almost Here!

Digger's POV

They closed the Pizzeria again. But this time, it was just to get ready for Christmas.

We were all were given red hats with white fluff around the rim, and a white fluff ball at the end. They moved a fireplace near the cove. I was going to act like Santa Claus and go down the chimney. But, I don't know where Catherine was for all of this. I guess she was too shy.

Catherine's POV

I stood alone in the cove. I've heard of this holiday. Master says it's a pointless time where people prance around in red and white. I guess I should come out, I need to learn as much as I can about them. I can't do that in here. I stepped out of the cove, but Digger almost immediately spotted me.

"Hey, Catherine! Come join us!" I walked over silently as he tried to put a hat onto my head. I refused, much to his displeasure.

"Come on! It's almost Christmas!"

Christmas, is that what this holiday is called?

My thoughts distracted me long enough for him to shove the hat on top of my head. I couldn't take it off now, he might suspect. I watched as they decorated the Pizzeria with lights and streamers. A pine tree was brought inside and placed on the floor, then there was a pause until someone came out with a ladder and propped it up next to the tree. Digger was then given a star in which he kindly took. He then proceeded to climb up ladder and gently placed the golden star on the top of the tree. He climbed down and everyone stared and admired their good work.

Digger took me to a lounge area that had something called a Television. I've never seen one before. I walked over and sat on the couch in front of it. I heard I slight 'click' and the the screen on the television came to life! I soon found that we were watching something they referred to as 'Christmas Specials'. There were things like snowmen, snow angels, snowflakes. and round projectiles called snowballs. The movies were filled with heart-warming scenes of friendship or love. But I tried not to watch, for it might cloud my better judgement. I must not fail my Master, for it might mean the end of me.
