Snow was falling down at a cold lake on a starry night sky. And the sound of singing and cheering were coming from the people along with their Pokemon as they were walking towards the castle. It was that time of year again and the most wonderful holiday of all time: Christmas Eve.
Chorus: Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la
Inside the castle, a familiar boy with his Azurill and a Rockruff were running down the hall with laughter and joy. They came to a stairway and amazed to see the guests have already arrive at the grand ballroom and the staff and their Pokemon were preparing the last touches of the decorations. "Come on, Rillie!" said Chip as slid down the rail. "Azu!" Rillie tag along as he slid down the rail, while Sultan the Rockruff, ran down the stairs.
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly... Ha-ha. There must be much, much more holly." said Lumiere as spread holly around the table along with Cresent the Chandelure. "Tis the season to be…" Cogsworth sang along as he and Marilda the Magearna were behind but stopped to see the holly. "Wh-What's this? There's too much holly. Whoa!" Cogsworth was pushed by the exciting Chip and Rillie going past him. "Slow down, lad." he said.
"Don we now our gay apparel, No, no, no, no more mistletoe." a lady sang as she placed an angel on the top of the tree and went down the ladder.
Mrs. Potts hummed a little as she was holding a teapot in her hand and Tia the Poulteageist floated by her side. They both turn to see Chip laughing as he and Rillie were at the presents. "Chip, away from those presents, dear." she said as Chip and Rillie ran around the tree with a present in his hands and looked at his mother. "Mama, I found one for me! Can I open it, Mama? Can I?" "Well, just one." "Oh boy!" "Azu!"
"It's good to see the boy having a proper Christmas." said Lumiere as they watch Chip and Rillie opening a present and Sultan was playing with the paper, "Not like last year." "Chandelure!" Cresent agrees. Cogsworth chuckled, "Yes. This is much more agreeable." Marilda clicks as she looked at the guests around the ballroom.
"Well, I thought last year was quite nice." said Mrs. Potts. "Poultea." said Tia. "Yes, well, I suppose, I did manage to save Christmas." said Cogsworth as he stood with pride but Lumiere frowned. "You?!" "Yes me." "Chandelure..." said Cresent and Marilda clicked as they both know there arguing again.
"If not for my skillful and decisive leadership, all would've been lost." "Leadership? Ha! You could not lead a horse to water." said Lumiere. "What are you yammering about? It was all my idea." said Cogsworth.
While two were bickering, Chip grabbed something out of the box and looked at his present but he and Rillie frowned as it was just a pair of socks.
"Your idea? Everyone knows it was mine." said Lumiere. Mrs. Potts shook her head and looked at the two. "Heavens. How many times are we going to have to go over this story?" "Story?" "Azu?" The boys looked at her. "Until someone gets his facts straight." said Lumiere. "Why don't you tell it, Mama?" Chip asked. "Azu azu!" Rillie jumped up and down, begging Mrs. Potts to tell.
"Capital idea." said Cogsworth and Marilda clicks with agreement. "Well, I don't… know..." "Come now, Mrs Potts. Surely you recall how I saved Christmas." said Lumiere but Cogsworth interupt him. "Dut-dut-dut-dut. No leading the witness."
"Please, Mama, tell the story." Chip pleaded and Mrs. Potts picked her son up with a smile. "Oh, all right." she said and sat down on a chair with Chip on her lap. Rillie jumped into Chip's arms and looked at her. " Ahh, now we will hear what really happened." said Lumiere. "Chandelure." said Cresent as he agrees and every person and Pokemon gathered around to listen to Mrs. Potts.
"Well, let's see. Belle, terrified by the master's anger, ran away from the castle… straight into a pack of wolves. But the master saved her. They began to be friends." said Mrs. Potts as she started the story. "Ah-ah-ah. That's where I came in." said Lumiere.
