December Part 2
Vivs woke up as usual on her Christmas Vacation, but Bernard was no where to be found. She was puzzled at first, but then she just decided to wait a little bit longer for him. Today was the day her mother and father would be heading to the woods.
Well, she wasn't sure about her father yet. But she knew he would head there if she just followed the plan. Hopefully it would work.

"Curtis, if you don't tell me what you did right now-" Bernard started, but he was interrupted.
"He was awful, Bernard! Barking at us, making us wrap presents TWICE, yelling at us for not painting right when we were doing just fine.... He was doing a lot of other bad things too!" All the elves gasped.
Bernard turned to Curtis angrily. "Like what?"
Curtis bowed his head. "I guess I got too caught up in the job."
"What did you do?"
"Nothing too bad!.......just restored the (whatever that thing is called that they made the toy Santa in I can't remember the name :() and started making more toys out of that and they turned alive."
Bernard looked like he was going to blow a gasket. "WHY WOULD YOU GO AND DO A STUPID THING LIKE THAT?"
"Bernard, cool it. Let me handle this. Curtis, where are the toys you made?"
"Down in the toy shop. I was coming up here to ask you for help, Santa, but HE had to be here." said Curtis. Bernard whispered to Santa. "What do I do now? I have to go back down to Viv's house! But I should be helping you and elves too!"
"Don't worry about it. I'll do as much as I can and when you come back down here you can finish helping." said Santa in a proud voice, but Bernard didn't look so sure.
"Oh all right. But if you need me, just call me." he said, pointing to his watch again.

Vivs sat miserbly at the kitchen table, holding a piece of toast, but not eating it. Her brothers came in and started to bother her.
"What's wrong, you're little elf friend not here?" they laughed at her.
"Exactly." he said, not really paying attention to her. Her father came in as well and was looking at her star out the door into the snow with her sad face and eyes.
"What's the matter?" he said. Vivs just shook her head.
"Nothing."
"Doesn't look like nothing."
Suddenly there was a pounding sound, like someone was pounding their feet as they walked up the porch steps.
"Now who the heck is THAT?" said her father, heading towards the door.
"WAIT! I'll get it." Vivs tried to say, but her father was already opening the door and Bernard walked in, brushing himself off.
"Um....Bernard....." Vivs tried to say, but Bernard didn't seem to be listening to her, or noticing the others standing there, staring at him.
"That good for nothing nitwit! After all that happened last time with that stupid machine, he takes it out again and starts building more toys in it. THE NERVE!" he said as he strolled angerly through the kitchen, then he took Vivs' piece of toast. "I can't believe that little-"
"BERNARD!" Vivs said loudly and she grabbed him by the face. "Relax." she said more softly then she let go.
"Oh. Sorry. Just we had some trouble at the North Pole." he said.
"And you'll have more trouble here." Vivs said.
"Why?" asked Bernard, taking a bite of his toast. It was then when he noticed Vivs' brothers and father.
"Oh." he said, dropping to toast onto the table.

"Santa, before you do anything, I just want to say I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it right now, Curtis, ok?" said Santa as he rushed all the elves away after Bernard left. "We need to figure out a plan."
"Well, I've got nothing." said the elf, and Santa turned his face to Curtis.
"You're a good help." he said sarcastically.
"Ok, here's what we're going to do Elves! We need to all get rid of these living toys. Does anyone see them?"
"I do!" piped up Judy. 'They're heading towards the outside village!" she said. She was holding one of the new inventions that was originally Bernard's that looked like a game boy except it had a map of the North Pole on it and everyone inside it.
"Nice work, Judy. Let's go!" cried Santa, and all of the Elves charged.
[sorry if this seems a lot like Santa Clause 2, but in the next chapter I think you'll realize it really isn't that much like Santa Clause 2. I might write a few chapters today so I can finish it before Christmas lol! Please review!]
