Santa
A shadow crept along the cave wall past the sleeping friends. It would crouch down every so often next to one of them. When it was done it tip toed back to where it was sleeping and fell asleep anticipating the next morning.
The next morning
Helen: Wake up! Wake up! It's here! (Jumping up and down on Miria and Deneve.) It's here! He came! Look!
Deneve: (Mumbling) Who came? (Falls back asleep.)
Helen: Don't fall back asleep! Santa came!!!
Miria: Who's Santa and how did he get in here while we were sleeping?!
Helen: He brings presents to all the good little boys and girls and gives coal to all those who are naughty!
Deneve: Then I don't know why you are so excited. If this Santa person really came, then you probably got nothing but coal.
Helen: Gasp! Take that back!
Deneve: No! You play pranks all the time! Besides there's no way anyone snuck in here while we were sleeping and left things.
Cynthia: Uh… Deneve?
Deneve: What?!
Cynthia holds up a bulging sock. The rest of the group looks around them and discovers they too have socks stuffed with stuff.
Cynthia: I got a pretty doll! (Miria: Why did she get a children's toy?)
Tabitha: I got a really cute teddy bear!!! (Miria: What are we five?)
Yuma: Squeal! (Miria: What happened?!) I got a doll house!!!!! (Miria: A doll house? Wait, how did that fit into a sock?)
Clare: Gasp! I got a doll that you can behead over and over again! Squeal! (Miria: Clare can squeal?) It looks like Pricilla! This is completely awesome!!! (Miria: ………..)
Deneve: I got a club….. Wham!
Helen: Ouch!!!!!!
Deneve: Wow! I love this present! It's really useful!!!
Miria: Sigh This is going to be a long day.
Helen: MIRIA! WHAT DID YOU GET? HUH? HUH? HUH? HUH?
Miria: (Looks in her sock and her face lights up.) I got ear plugs and an eye mask! Inner thought: Now I don't have to see or hear the stupid things they're going to do today!!!!
Helen: Ummm… Ok…. Let's see what I got!!!!
Cynthia: What are those black lumps?
Deneve: AHAHAHAHA!!!!! You got coal!!! I told you there was no way you've been good!!!
Yuma: Inner Thought: Well, there was no way I wasn't going to give her coal especially after the map incident.
Helen: No, wait there more in here….
Deneve: AHAHAHA!!! Half eaten apples!!!
Yuma: Inner Thought: Hehehehehe I'm a genius…
Helen: ……. Gasp! I have two whole apples!
Yuma: Inner Thought: Well it is Christmas….
They spent the rest of the day together in the cave. Helen got whacked a few more times before Deneve decided to go back asleep. Miria put her new ear plugs in and her eye mask on and was blissfully ignorant to the exploits of her friends. Tabitha, Cynthia, and Yuma sat in a circle playing with their new toys and Clare say in a corner beheading the newly dubbed Pricilla doll repeatedly. It was a good day.
