2.10 Happy Birthday

North froze when a large pair of bright eyes stared up at him, gaping. He was just leaving presents for the little Tony Tony boy, who, if he had heard correctly, had accidently taken a potion that forever made him half reindeer, half human, before the little boy showed up in the living room, all tired and muttering about water. And so when the boy saw him, at first, the boy yelped in terror before hiding half his face behind the couch and demanded to know who North was. But when he saw North holding presents in his hand, he gasped.

The little half human stared up at North, his cute wide eyes shining like stars (no literally, North could actually see stars...) and it reminded him how much he loved his job. How much he enjoyed seeing children happy. But of course, he was always too busy so he stuck with imagining how happy children became.

Seeing this Tony boy made his imagination more vivid and he briefly wondered if Sandy or Tooth had ever seen this as they worked every day, unlike him and Bunny.

"Are you...are you really Santa Clause!?" The boy whispered excitedly.

The man dressed in red smiled brightly down at the boy. "Of course!"

"Oh wow! I always knew it! After all, even magic exist so of course you have to exist! Wow! I have to tell doctor! And doctorine! And Lami and Law! They'll be so surprised!" The boy said happily, and North was surprised at how adorable he looked being half reindeer. The reindeers he knew were...wild. And not cute. Cool yes...cute? Oh dear moon, that's a no. "Oh, wait, you have to go now, right?"

North smiled and knelt down. "Yes, I do. After all, I need to deliver many gifts to the children." He said and the boy smiled sadly.

"Say...since you have magic...do you know if there's some way I can become fully human again?" North blinked and looked down at the little boy who began shuffling his feet. "I mean...I'm a monster now. And-"

"You are not monster." The boy looked up at him. "You are a child." North smiled. "And besides, you may be reindeer but remember, I like reindeers. They help me." He said with a wink, making the little boy giggle.

"Yeah, I forgot." The ten year old said sheepishly. "I hope I can see you again, Mr. Santa! Merry Christmas!" The Tony boy chirped happily before yawning.

North patted the boy's head. "Merry Christmas, Tony Tony Chopper." Chopper smiled sleepily and North followed the boy back to his room where he tucked the little boy in. Then he watched as dreamsand appeared, swirling above the sleeping boy before something like a ship appeared. "Good night, little one." He said softly before getting up and leaving the room, fully intent on finishing his job.

Perhaps he should look into that potion the boy drank. If he could find a way to help the boy, he was certain it'd be the best Christmas present the boy ever had. Or birthday, now that he had noticed the banner over the Christmas tree that declared,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOPPER~


Kura: First, I realized that I totally forgot to put the disclaimer before...and probably the one before as well...

Berry: ...

Kura: Second, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOPPER~ Yay~ My first birthday drabble for a One Piece character~

Berry: :3

Kura: And hey, if there needs to be a Santa, then it has to be North from Rise of the Guardians cause he is so freaking damn awesome.

Berry: Amen to that :D

Kura: In any case, sorry but I was unable to make a Christmas drabble yet thanks to having to go to work (grumbles) but I will write something tomorrow! I...will try! I'm not sure if I should promise simply because I'm afraid of breaking said promise O-o

Berry: Please to review for our adorable little reindeer hybrid :3 Sorry this was short but we wrote this since...around over half a year ago...and was waiting for this day to put it up. Oh, and for those who say that it's already Christmas, here in Hawaii, it's still the 24th. We have made it in time! YES!

Kura: X3 We feel very accomplished to have made it one time! And to finish this off, a Merry Christmas eve to all of you wonderful readers! X3 I love you all and to all, a good night~
