Disclaimer: "I don't own Sailor Moon and the Chibi Scouts with the
exception of Rini belong to Angel Raye. Snibbit is my creation. I decided
to write a Christmas Chibi Scout story this time around for the upcoming

it!" -- Quoth the Ravyn
The Youma That Stole Christmas -- By Ravyn Knyght
Once again, Christmas Eve had come and the children of the world were rejoicing. The Chibi Scouts were no different. "Madelyn! Santa won't come if you and Snibbit are wide awake." Hotaru warned as she entered her daughter's bedroom to find her and Snibbit at the window. It was a fierce snow storm brewing outside and Madelyn was worried Santa Clause would not be able to make his rounds. "What if he can't get here because of the storm?" she questioned as Hotaru sat with her at the window. "Believe me darling, Santa has come in worse storms than this so you needn't worry. Now you and Snibbit get off to bed! It's way past your bed times!" Hotaru pointed out as both her daughter and Snibbit gave enormous yawns. "Okay, mama." Madelyn sleepily stated getting back under the blankets. Snibbit, wearing a Santa Clause hat Annika had made for him, snuggled up next to her and went to sleep too. Hotaru gave both of them a kiss good night and then left the room.
Greg caught Ariel and Moonbeam in the process of sneaking out. "And where might the two of you be going with my video camera?" he questioned the startled duo. "We were..." Ariel started but then stopped as she couldn't think of a good excuse. Amy came out of the kitchen to investigate. "I think somebody was going to try to get a glimpse of jolly ol' St. Nick." Amy mused as Greg took the video camera from his daughter. Amy then picked up her daughter and carried her back to her bed room. It was just no use. Ariel couldn't sleep. She was just too excited. Amy took her over to the rocking chair and started to gently rock her daughter. The motion started to make Ariel drowsey. "So what was the plan this year?" Amy questioned in a laugh. "I thought if I stashed the video camera somewhere I could record Santa leaving the presents." Ariel admitted as a yawn escaped her. Not long now! Amy smiled down at her daughter. "Well I'm sure Santa would've found it and turned it off. He's a real stickler for not being seen." Amy commented as Ariel snuggled into her. Amy gave a little laugh as she remembered that earlier this evening when the families placed their gifts to each other under the tree, she had found Chibi Mercury in the family room using her visor and computer to find out who was giving what to who. After transforming back, Ariel admitted the other children had put her up to it but she knew that it wouldn't take much to sway Ariel to do it as she was always a curious child by nature, especially on Christmas Eve. Within a few minutes, her daughter was sleeping peacefully. Just a few more minutes. Amy thought as she continued to rock her daughter.
Maggie was snuggled up on the couch contented with the fact that her mother was able to take some time off for the holidays. "Well I think somebody should be heading off to bed. Not unless they don't want Santa to leave them any presents!" Gary teased. "Daddy!" Maggie groaned, not wanting to say good night just yet. "I think your father is right Maggie. I know this is the hardest night of the year to sleep." Setsuna said remembering how excited Hotaru would get every December 24th. "You can say that again." Maggie commented. "Well how about I read you that christmas story I used to read your Aunt Hotaru. Maybe that will help you sleep?" Setsuna offered. Maggie quickly agreed. Although she felt she was now to old to have her parents read her bed time stories she liked the idea of spending just a little more quiet time with her mother. As Setsuna read the story Maggie slowly but surely drifted off to sleep. Setsuna gave her a kiss then quietly left the room, not before commiting to memory, the excited yet peaceful look on her daughter's sleeping face.
"How about we watch that cartoon one more time?" Annika pleaded. "You've already watched it three times." Raye wearily stated. She knew Annika would put up a fight tonight as she did every Christmas Eve, Raye smiled to herself vowing to never forget these moments in her daughter's life. "May I please have another glass of egg nog?" Annika then asked. "You already have had four princess." Chad pointed out. "Well how about we sing some more carols?" Annika thought. "Enough stalling young lady! Now go to sleep!" Raye ordered as she tucked her daughter in. "Please Miss Raye just one more christmas carol?" begged Stardust who was equally excited as her mistress. Raye sighed, "Alright just one more." Raye stated to the delight of her daughter and the cat. Both Annika and Stardust dropped off to sleep as Raye softly sang Silent Night. Raye stayed a while longer watching her daughter's contented slumber then kissed her good night. "Sweet dreams, baby." Raye whispered softly as she closed the door.
"I wonder what Annika got me?" Gloria pondered as she stared out the window at the raging snow storm. "I'm sure it will be just as great as what you got her pumkin." Mina said as she and Asai entered the room to check on her. The two knew that Gloria would not go down easily tonight of all nights. "Time for bed." Asai cautioned. Gloria shook her head. "I'm too excited to sleep!" she stated as she walked over to her cd collection and decide which one to play. "Well that's too bad young lady because that is exactly what you are going to do!" Mina firmly stated as she moved her daughter along to the bed. " Do you think Santa will bring me something good?" Gloria questioned as she snuggled down under the covers as Mina and Asai kissed her good night. "Well you were better behaved this year so just maybe you will be rewarded this time." Last year as a lesson to teach her to behave, Mina and Asai placed a piece of coal in the surprise present from Santa. Needless to say Gloria wasn't pleased and tried her best to stay on track with only a few derailments. "Do you think he'll over look all those fights with Miyaki. They were for a good cause afterall." Gloria stated. "Well he might. You'll find out tomorrow morning now won't you?" Mina said giving her daughter a wink. "Good night princess." Asai said as he and Mina each gave her another kiss good night.
As hard as Daisy tried she just couldn't get to sleep. Just like all the other children in the palace, she tossed and turned unable to think about anything else other than what was the contents of the colorfully wrapped boxes under the tree. The earlier attempt she and the others pushed Ariel into had failed. Daisy was just hoping that the surprise present from Santa didn't contain a lump of coal like it did last year. Lita decided to do what Mina had said and placed a piece of coal in the box as a way of teaching her daughter not to get into too many fights if she wanted to get something better next year. Daisy got up out of bed and padded out to the kitchen to get herself something to eat. "And why aren't we in bed?" Ken questioned as she came into the kitchen. Lita was just taking out a batch of cookies from the oven. "Can't sleep." Daisy stated as she snatched a cookie off of the cookie sheet. "Well go back to bed and try. I know it's not the easiest thing to do right now but you don't want to sleep through Christmas morning now do you?" Lita explained. "I guess not." Daisy shrugged and headed back to her room with a few more cookies and a glass of milk. If I get another piece of coal I'll floor him! Daisy thought before she finally fell asleep.
Haruka and Michiru were at their wits end. They were trying everything they could think of to get the twins to go to sleep but so far it hadn't worked. "If the two of you don't hit the sack right now and start sawing some major logs, I'm calling Aunt Amy to come over here and give you both some sedatives." Haruka flatly stated. "We can't help it Haruka-papa. We're just too excited!" Hope exclaimed as she and her sister Faith were still wide awake. Michiru came into the room with a couple of glasses of warm milk. "Maybe this will help our little Christmas joys get to sleep." she said giving a glass to each of them. As the time dragged on it seemed to be doing the trick as the two girls started to nod off as Michiru read them a christmas story. Before long Faith was fast asleep and Hope was cuddled up to Michiru sleeping peacefully. "Now it's out turn!" Haruka whispered to Michiru. "But we're grownups! We can stay up!" Michiru pouted. "Now don't start!" Haruka scolded with a giggle as the two left the twin's room and closed the door.
Over the last few days Endymion had noticed a change in the way Serenity behaved. At first he thought it was because of Christmas. Serenity always got excited this time of year. But this year she seemed a bit more reserved. He also noticed that she was sporting a secretive smile recently. He wondered what she was keeping to herself. Usually she would be ready to explode if she was keeping a major secret but this time it was different. He wondered what it could be as she snuggled into him on the couch. "There it is again." he stated. "There's what?" she questioned. "That same sly smile you get when you have a secret." Endymion explained. "You must be imagining it my love." she softly whispered then got up. "I'm going to check on Rini. She's probably still awake." Serenity mused. "She gets that from you." Endymion pointed out as he got up to join her. What is my little minx hiding? he thought.
Rini couldn't sleep. The winter storm that was pounding Crystal Tokyo was not the cause though. She desparately wanted Helios to be with her for the holidays but he was unable to get away. She sat in bed staring at a picture of herself and the only man she could ever love, sighing. "You should be asleep or Santa won't leave you anything." Serenity said coming into the room. "That's just something for kids, mom." Rini said still depressed. Both Serenity and Endymion knew the cause of their daughter's distress. Both she and Helios had made plans months in advance to spend Christmas together but something came up at the last minute that put their plans into deep freeze. "Now I know you wanted him to be with you but its just not possible. He's probably just as upset over this as you are but that's no reason why you should spoil the holidays for yourself." Serenity told her daughter. "I know." Rini sighed. "Try to get some sleep and I promise you and your father will have an extra special surprise tomorrow morning." Serenity promised. Rini wondered what that would be. Rini tried to have pleasant dreams but the dream she would have would be like no other.
One by one the Chibi Scouts woke up to find themselves in the middle of a blinding blizzard. "What's going on?!" Cosmic Moon shouted over the howling winds. She was a little shocked to get a response. "Is that you Cosmic Moon?" Chibi Pluto shouted back. Soon all the Chibi Scouts gathered together to figure out what was going on. "We have to find shelter first!" Cosmic Moon ordered as Chibi Mercury went to work with her visor and computer. "Follow me!" she shouted as the frozen Chibis trudged through the storm to where Chibi Mecrury indicated where a cave was.
Once inside, the girls gathered some wood that was lying around and with the help of Chibi Mars, had got a roaring fire started. As the girls and Snibbit were warming up and trying to figure out how they ended up here, a timid voice called out from the shadows. "W-W-Wh-Who's there?" asked a short little man as he cautiously aproached the group. Recognizing the attire, "It's an Elf!" Chibi Saturn exclaimed. "I think you should tell us what's going on here." Cosmic Moon demanded as the little man sat down to the fire with them.
"It worked!" the elf cried as he quickly shook the hands of the Chibi Scouts. "Am I glad that you are here!" he joyfully exclaimed. "Why?" Chibi Jupiter asked. "Allow me to explain. A few weeks ago, an evil woman calling herself Blizzara showed up here at the North Pole." the man started. "The North Pole!" cried the Chibi Scouts. "That explains the blizzard outside then." Chibi Mercury commented. "It's not usually like this here but ever since that woman showed up here it's been something else!" he told the girls. As they talked he told them his name was Marcus and that he was the only Elf to escape Blizzara's attack on Santa's Work Shop. He explained that all the other Elves were turned into Dark Elves and that Blizzara had imprisoned Santa and the reindeer in an ice cage and had altered the Work Shop into an ice palace. "My only hope was that I could get you all up here in order to free every one from Blizzara's control. She's set on stopping Christamas at any cost." Marcus finished his story. "I still can't believe we are in the North Pole!" Chibi Venus exclaimed, looking out at the blizzard. "Like I said, it's usually quite temparate here and very beautiful but ever since Blizzara showed up..." Marcus reiterated. "Well we'll just have to teach her that it's way rude to mess with one of the best holidays of the year!" Chibi Uranus stated. "Yeah! Let's deck her halls, Chibi Scout style!" Chibi Jupiter stated, pounding her fists. The other Chibi Scouts agreed and they all set off with Marcus leading the way.
"Well it looks like I missed one but it won't matter. Soon I'll enslave him and defeat those naughty little Chibi Scouts, too!" Blizzara coldly laughed, watching their aproach. "That will never happen. In the end evil will always lose out to good!" Santa stated defiantly. "Here's a quarter! Go call Jenny Craig! There's no way those brats will defeat me!" she shouted at her prisoners. "Now to put out the welcome mat!" Blizzara stated, sending one of her ice youma to attack the Chibi Scouts. Be strong little ones! Santa thought.
