-Chapter-32-Saving Christmas part 1-

"What do you mean you are leaving with the kids?!" I poke Judys chest angrily "You just leave cause of a damn show?!"
"You brought April in for help and this is the help!" I glare and she shakes her head "Just leave it ok?"
"Go and be assholes!" I grab my keys and walk out of the house angrily "The homeless will not give Christmas to themselves"
-Judy pov-
"So Uh we are still going?" I look at the girls and nod "This is going to be hell on earth"
"Agreed" I sigh and feel a heated glare "Ethel it is fine!"
"You were raised better than this" I roll my eyes as I grab the keys "Your parents will hear about this!"
"They will also hear the kids on the television!" I open the front door "Let's go!"
-Time skip-Shelby pov-
"So they did not come huh?" I nod and sue sighs "I guess this is fine"
"I agree" I smile as I place food on a tray "There are more people than I thought"
"Lima has a lot of homeless people" Sue gives out a bowl full of beef stew "Was hoping to show the kids there is more to life than just fame"
"Same here" I look at the time and quickly switch with someone else "Time for the first song"
I walk over to the stage and get the band ready. They at lease showed up for us. They are a very loyal group of kids. I will see if we can get Sue to give them a week off.
For now I need to try and entertain.
-Shelby singing-
Out of all the reindeers you know you're the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph, Randolph ain't too far behind
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"
And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph 'I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round'
Said Santa to a girl child "What would please you most to get?"
"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet"
And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round
Everyone applauds and I smile as I go back to the line to work. I smile brighter when a little kid says thank you for singing and the food. This truly is a wonderful experience. The club will never know what they are missing out on.

"They look miserable" I sigh and look at April "We made a mistake right?"
"Absolutely" April looks at the director "This is the last song"
"Good they stink" I glare at the man who goes to the crew and kids "We are doing the final song!"
"Actually can I do something?" Rory walks out in front of the cameras "We have put on an amazing special for you all tonight! But I want to leave with something special if that is fine? See here is the story of Christmas! And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and goodwill toward men"
"That is not what was suppo~"
"That was amazing kids!" A man in a suit walks up to us as the cameras go off "Thank you for coming in! Help yourself to the extra food! Larry! You come with me cause I have some negative comments that were pointed toward your directing debut!"
"Goodbye Larry!" He glares before following the man "So we are snagging food and making a few stops on the way to the shelter"
"Toys R Us is still open" I nod and we head for the food tables "We also need to figure out what we are singing"
"Did anyone else notice Quinn is missing along with Elisha?" We all look around and I sigh "Did they not come here with us? Did they leave earlier and we not notice?"
"They were the good ones" I grab a box and start filling it up "Let's get this done before the shelter is closed"
-Shelby pov-
"We are running out of food" Quinn sighs and shakes her head "If we do not get anything in an hour we will be under what we said"
"Plus the toy truck is not here" Elisha frowns deeply "What are we going to do?"
"All we can do is hope"
Ain't that completely true.
