A/N- Yay! That was a fun chapter! Bernard... he's just the coolest. Oh,
this has nothing to do with anything, but LOTR WON ALL 11 OSCARS! Yay!
Sadly, this left nothing for poor, sweet, Pirates. I am torn.
Elyse3- Isn't he just a cutie? I'm afraid that update was so quick that some people didn't realize I actually had updated.
La Pamplemousse- I love the Patron-Minette, can't you tell? They are the greatest... ESPECIALLY PARNASSE!
Mlle. Verity le Virago- Literally. Ah well, he could go adopt one of Gavroche's brothers... they're probably hanging around somewhere.
Disclaimer- Nope.

At the North Pole, Javert and Bernard were taking the same tour of the factory that Gavroche and Larry had taken almost a year earlier. Javert was admiring the progress the elves had made since his previous visit.
"Gavroche has got some great ideas for the workshop," Bernard was saying.
"Gavroche? Why does he have better ideas than you guys? You're professionals, right? He's just a boy," Javert interrupted.
"He's been out in the streets more, obviously. He's seen what kids like and he's sort of a... fresh new mind to the team, if that makes sense."
Javert nodded.
"Santa, this is Quentin, head of research and development," Bernard said, motioning toward an elf with a long, blond braid down his back.
"Quentin, good to meet you."
The elf shook Javert's extended hand. "Hallo, Santa. Gavroche and I have been working on some new ideas on how to keep you safe."
"Excellent."
"This is some of the best stuff that's come out of the workshop since... the ball!" Bernard explained before he took off again.
"Wait a minute," Javert cried, running after him. "What do I do if I fall off a roof?"
/\/\/\
The Patron-Minette met in a rotten old building. Thénardier stood before the others.
"We'll circle off around the boy's elephant. Now, Javert is to be caught and brought to Montparnasse. And remember: he'll probably... be dressed like Père Noël."
Several of the gang snorted.
/\/\/\
[Cue ZZ Top's "Gimme All Your Lovin'"]
/\/\/\
Javert stood before several of the elves, modeling the Santa suit that now fit him perfectly.
"Very nice," Larry nodded.
/\/\/\
Montparnasse leaned against the leg of the elephant statue. He found that he was very worried about Gavroche. Any man who would go through so much trouble just to make a little boy love him must have some ulterior motive.
The Patron-Minette grabbed a man dressed as Père Noël and wrestled him to the street.
Montparnasse dashed toward them, looked at the man, and shook his head.
"Sh'not even my shuit..." the man whined drunkenly. "I shtole it from Laigle. I shaid whatsh a revolution without Chrishmash cheer?"
The gang shoved the man away.
"Drunk," Thénardier said accusingly.
Montparnasse picked up a brown sack the man had dropped. "This yours?"
The drunk grabbed for it. "Yeah, shmine! Gimme!"
Curiously, Parnasse opened the sack. "There's nothing in here but bottles of absinthe!"
"Sho? Gimme it! It'sh Chrishmash cheer!"
Montparnasse threw the bag at the man and stalked off.
"Yeah, well Merry Chrishmash to you too!" he shouted.
/\/\/\
Javert in his red suit, Bernard, Gavroche, Judy, Quentin, and Larry marched solemnly down a long hall.
Javert, formerly infamous for his rigid obsession with the law and doing what was right, found that he was rather enjoying this suit.
He looked down. The white fur lining and bright red trim... it was a good look for him. Javert straightened the fur collar a little.
/\/\/\
The Patron-Minette met again in the old building.
"Tomorrow's Christmas," Thénardier reminded the group. "What better time to catch that Javert?"
Montparnasse nodded. "Do you think he'd come here?"
"Well, we haven't exactly been good little boys," Babet pointed out.
"The boy likes you, Parnasse," the creepy voice of the ventriloquist said. "I'll bet he made a present for you."
"That's right, Claquesous. Maybe the man will be stupid enough to bring it here. I remember last year Gavroche didn't have a present for me. He felt so bad he gave me one of his."
"Stupid kid," muttered Gueulemer.
"He's a good boy," Montparnasse corrected him sharply. "He was fun to have around. Helpful to the gang-"
"Anyway," Thénardier interrupted. "If you wanna catch this man, Parnasse, me and you'll go to the elephant. Babet and Gueulemer can stay here. Claquesous?"
"I'll be busy tonight."
"Fine. That's the plan. Alright, let's go!"
Montparnasse and Thénardier went to guard the elephant, leaving Babet and Gueulemer at the headquarters.
/\/\/\
Javert and Gavroche sat in the sleigh. Elves stood on all sides, waiting for takeoff.
"On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen!" Gavroche cried.
He turned to Javert.
"What?"
"You say the rest," the boy insisted.
Javert rolled his eyes. "On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner, on Blitzen," he said quickly.
The reindeer took off with Gavroche leaning over the side, calling goodbye to the elves.
/\/\/\
In a few moments, the sleigh was flying over Paris.
