Okkee dokkee then! Let's get on with Chapter 1!

Chapter 1: The Rumor

"The angels of love have descended to Earth

And cast a spell of the century's end on us.

On this hallowed winter's night, if you profess your love,

It will surely be granted on this holy night."

The singers' voices rang out from the radio that June had turned on. She was having Kylie sleep over, who had brought Penelope with her. Penelope began bouncing up and down in Pashmina's cage. She was enjoying the music.

"Oh, I love this song!" June said, beginning to hum along.

"Me too! But have you heard the rumor?" Kylie asked.

June stopped humming with look of confusion on her face. "What rumor?"

"You mean you haven't heard it? At school, everyone's talking about how if you confess your love on Christmas Eve this year, then your wish'll come true!" Kylie said, smiling.

"Well, isn't it just the words to the song?" June asked, doubtfully.

"There's another rumor that says it was a rumor first! Then it was so popular that they made it into a song!" Kylie said.

"I wonder if it's just a myth, or if it could be real..." June said.

"That would be nice, huh?" Kylie said, beginning to blush.

"Oh, why, do you like someone? Hmm?" June asked.

"Did you hear that, Penelope? If you confess your love this year, you get to be together forever!" Pashmina said.

"Ookwee! Ookwee!" Penelope squealed, still jumping up and down.

A few hours later, Kylie and June went to go Christmas shopping together. "This is our chance, Penelope! Let's go see how everyone's doing!" Pashmina exclaimed.

"Ookwee!" Penelope said, following Pashmina out the cage.

The two of them ran through the frontyard, plowing through the snow, until they finally reached the clear (but damp) sidewalk. Penelope sat down on the sidewalk and shivered. Pashmina didn't notice this until she heard a high-pitched sneeze. She looked behind her to see Penelope, who was sniffling a foot behind her (A/N: When I say a foot, I mean 12 actual inches, not what a hamster would consider a foot.)

"Oh, Penelope, are you alright?"

"Ookwee..." Penelope moaned.

"Oh, yeah, it is pretty cold. Wanna borrow my scarf?" Pashmina offered, taking off the pink garment. Penelope said nothing as Pashmina tied the scarf around her neck.

Sorry if that was pretty short. I'll get into more detail in the next chappy, I promise!! ^^
