Daniella Sapphire Fenton was not the kind of person to enjoy the Christmas season. It was all fun and games until her parents started their annual fight, and made the worst month of her life , her parents refused to let her stay with Artemis or any such thing, as they knew the holiday was meant to bring family together. It sucked.

She wore a plain outfit(Link to my Polyvore is on my profile), and she knew that everyone would question why she wasn't dressed festively, but she didn't really care.

"Hey Dannie, why aren't you wearing something festive?" M'gann asked. "It's Christmas Eve."

"So it is, but I don't celebrate any holidays at this time of the year; haven't since I was 10." she admitted.

Everyone looked at her in shock(with the exception of Snow and Artemis), and Wally said, "How can you not celebrate Christmas?!"

"I just don't. My parents have argued about the existence of Santa Clause every year for as long as I can remember, and it's kind of ruined the holidays for me." Dannie admitted. "I stopped celebrating four years ago; I don't see any reason to start again."

With that, the raven left the cave and went home. She tolerated her parents' annual fight for about ten minutes before rolling her eyes and going upstairs. Even from her bedroom, Dannie could her father arguing that Santa did exist, while she heard her mother shouting that he didn't. Sighing, she changed into her ghost form and flew to the park. She then sat on a snow covered bench, changed to human, and began enjoying the quiet as she sang the same song she always did on Christmas, and Christmas Eve.

Zatanna and Artemis had decided to try and get their mutual friend into the holiday spirits, but when they were about halfway to Fenton Works, they heard a song.

W-Where are you C-Christmas?

W-Why c-can't I find you?

W-Why have you g-gone away?

W-Where is the l-laughter, you u-used to bring me?

W-why can't I hear m-music p-play?

M-My world is changing...

I-I'm rearranging...

D-Does that mean C-Christmas changes too...?

Artemis then became angry with her aunt and uncle. They were too caught up in their own personal argument to notice that their own daughter was hurting because she couldn't celebrate Christmas with them; not without their argument getting in the way. She pulled out her phone and began making a video of Dannie singing her song. When they arrived at the Fenton household, Jack and Maddie were still arguing. When Maddie opened the door, her face instantly softened.

"Artemis, Zatanna!" she greeted. "Oh, it's so good to see you both."

Artemis remained firm and to the point. "Aunt Maddie, we need to talk."

"Dannie told us both that she doesn't celebrate Christmas." Zatanna informs. "We have evidence that she wants to, but can't with your annual argument about the existence of Santa Clause."

Jack's eyes widened as the two girls played the video for them, during which it was obvious that Dannie was miserable. They both began to look guilty and grabbed their coats before running out into the snowstorm to find their daughter. They found her sitting on the snow covered bench, still looking miserable.

Jack and Maddie both hugged their daughter as Maddie said, "Dannie, we're so sorry. We were so caught up in our fight that we couldn't see how much it was hurting you."

"Can you forgive us?" Jack added.

Dannie hugged both of her parents and said, "Of course I can; you're my parents, and I love you."

The Fentons went home together, and Artemis and Zatanna were thrilled that their plan had worked. It was then that Zatanna shoved Dannie into her bedroom. "What's this all about?" the halfa questioned.

"Don't you remember? You got invited by Dick Grayson to Bruce Wayne's annual Christmas party tonight." She informed. "We have to get you ready."

Zatanna handed her a small rock and said, "Hold onto this." the magician then held out her hands and cast a spell. "Egnahc S'einnad sehtolc otni eht wen kool."

Smoke circled around the halfa and changed her clothes into a pale blue dress with a single strap over her left shoulder and went halfway to her knees, black boots that rose to just below her knees and had 2 inch heels, pale blue feather earrings, a snowflake necklace, a silver ring with five diamonds set into it(her grandmother's wedding ring), a silver bracelet with blue stones, and a tiny tiara on top of her head. Her hair had been fixed up and curled, much to Dannie's displeasure.

"Now we just need to put makeup on you." Artemis said as she walked in.

Dannie's eyes widened. "Isn't ruining my hair enough?!"

"I didn't ruin it. I curled it." Zatanna corrected.

"Exactly!" the halfa exclaimed. "I hate looking girly."

"Tough. Tonight, you will not be a tomboy!" Artemis demanded.

"Oh that's rich, coming from you." the ghost girl retorted.

"Need some help holding her down?" Jazz questioned.

"Please." Artemis requested.

It took around two hours, but they finally got Dannie's makeup ready. "You guys suck," the halfa informed when they'd finished. They'd put her into cat-eye styled eyeliner, pale blueish-silver eyeshadow, pale pink lip gloss, and blush that nearly matched her skin perfectly, but was visible enough to bring attention to her face. The mascara was simple; just lengthening, and brought out the bright, luminescent blue in her eyes.

"Dannie, you look beautiful." Jazz informed.

"You're just saying that because you're my sister." Dannie retorted.

"She's right though." Artemis promised.

"You look amazing." Zatanna added.

"You two are just saying that because you're my friends." the halfa argued.

It was then that Sam stepped in and said, "Holy Guacamole! How did you guys manage to make her beautiful when she usually hates looking girly?"

"They pinned me down." Dannie told her friend.

Zatanna and Artemis then grabbed the girl's invitation, and after shoving her coat onto her, they dragged her outside, where Dick was waiting for her. His eyes grew to the size of saucers. He was wearing a black suit with a pale blue shirt, a snowy white tie, and a silver clasp to keep his bow-tie in, with his hair held back with hair gel.

Dannie's cheeks turned red, and she said, "You look nice."

"So do you." Dick agreed, his own cheeks dusted pink.

He held out his hand, and said, "Ready to go?"

Dannie nodded, following him to the Manor. When they arrived, he brought her to the theater room. "Trust me, these things are boring, hence why we're going to hang around in the theater room."

"That and you're being territorial." Dannie smirked.

"Exactly; I don't want any of those old, and if Bruce asks I never said this, hags trying to set you up with their sons." he admitted.

She chuckled and put her arms around his neck. "Don't worry; I'm yours. Nothing is ever going to change that."

He smiled. "I'm allowed to be territorial; I've almost lost you several times. So uh... How're your parents? Did they work things out with Christmas?"

The halfa nodded. "Yeah, for once, they did. They agreed that they have their own opinions, and they'll just have to live with the fact that they don't agree about some things."

Dick smiled. "I'm glad. I hate seeing you upset, and back at the cave, you were clearly upset."

She grinned at him. "Well I'm okay now."

Dick noticed her eyes flash from blue to green for a split second, but chose not to question it. This was the first good Christmas Dannie had experienced in years, and he was here to witness it; that was what mattered to him.

Fun Fact:

I really want to visit Athens and Delphi in Greece; mostly because I'm a huge Percy Jackson fan, and I want to see the original Parthenon in a bad way.

Next Time:

"Dick, no... It's too dangerous."

"I... I hurt you."

"I kept saying that I needed you, but you needed me more. I'm so sorry."

"I can never come back; it's too dangerous."

I know it's a little short, but I wanted a Christmas chapter to lead up to the next one, which is highly inspired by Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch.

See ya later guys!
