Disclaimer: Don't own ADJL, Santa, Santa's reindeer. Just own Vomer, Winky, and some of my other ideas.

Chapter Three

"Santa's real! He really is, American Dragon!" Winky exclaimed loudly. The boy winced. He pulled her deeper into the bushes. Winky barely was able to grab the fish bowl before being dragged forward.

"Look, don't call me, American Dragon in public. The name's Jake Long." He said, looking around. Winky thought his behavior was quite strange. Was someone after him? Why? He was the hero. Who would want to hurt him?

"Okay, Jake Long, Santa is real as you and me! I'll prove it too you!" Winky said proudly. Jake raised an eyebrow but let her speak. "For Christmas you want a Skaterboy2000, but you know you won't get it because your parents can't afford it." Winky said smartly, putting down the goldfish bowl. Jake eyes were wide. The girl was right.

"Okay, then, elf. Why aren't you up in the North Pole?" Jake asked her. Her face fell and her eyes held sorrow.

"Someone kidnapped Mr. and Mrs. Claus, the reindeer, and all of the elves' magic! Except for mine. I wasn't there and it happened. Vomer is the only reindeer that wasn't taken. Please, Jake Long, American Dragon, you have to help us!" Winky said, looking up at him with those large sapphire eyes which were sparkling with hope. Jake had never had that much of admiration from any magical creature.

"Okay, but where's your reindeer? Uh, Vomer?" Jake asked, looking around as if to see it jump into the clearing.

Winky picked up the fishbowl. "I turned Vomer into a fish for disguise. Now, come on! We have to go to the North Pole! The Fate of Christmas rests on our shoulders!" Winky told him, grabbing his hand and trying to pull him.

"Hey! Wait a minute. I have to tell my grandpa. Follow me." Jake said, pulling her instead. Winky stumbled but quickly got instep.

As Jake went to search for his Grandpa, he left Winky by the counter, where Fu was sitting. (If you want a good description of how tall Winky (and elves) are, Fu is three inches taller than Winky, not including when Winky is wearing her pointed hat, which is one inch higher than Fu.) Winky rummaged around the shop, looking at all the mistakes on the VCRs and the other things. Finally, Jake came with an elderly man about Winky's height. The man was surveying her. "That is not possible, young one. No such Santa Claus exist. That is just a fairy tale. But, there was a man called Saint Nicholas and..." The man started but Winky quickly cut him off.

"Santa is real! If you don't believe... You can be on the naughty list! You did tell him that I told you what you wanted but couldn't have for Christmas, right?" Winky said, turning to Jake for that last question. Jake nodded. "Well, Mr... Jake's Grandpa, I know what you wanted when you were his age. You wanted a yo-yo (only thing I could think off. :P) and you got one. A large red one with the first letter of your name. And your parents didn't know where that came from but they let you keep it. Now, that has to prove that Santa is real." Winky said really quickly.

Jake's grandfather's eyes got wide and his cheeks had a little red tint to it. "Alright, elf. What are you doing here?" Grandpa asked.

Winky sighed. Were humans always this slow? "Someone kidnapped Santa and Mrs. Claus, the reindeer, except for Vomer, and all the elves' Christmas Spirit except for mine!" Winky said quickly. Time was a wasting!

"Who is the Vomer and what is the elves' Christmas Spirit?" Grandpa asked slowly. Winky set the fishbowl down on the floor and thought of Vomer's old form. She shut her eyes and gathered her magic. Then threw it at Vomer. She opened her eyes and sighed with relief. Vomer was standing in front of them.

"This is Vomer. He's Comet's son. And an elf's Christmas Spirit is their magic." Winky told him. Vomer nodded his large head, making the bells on his saddle jingled. "And I need the American Dragon to help me! We only got twenty four days left before Christmas is ruined!" Winky yelled, looking up at them with her large sapphire eyes.

"Jake, you know what to do. While you help..." Grandpa paused and looked at Winky expectantly.

"Winky." She told him.

"While you help Winky, I'll protect the magical creatures in New York." Grandpa said. Jake nodded.

"Come on, Winky. Let me go get some warm clothes on." Jake told Winky, about to turn into the American Dragon but Winky stopped him.

"No! When you are in the North Pole, you must stay in your dragon form. I do not have enough experience to warm you up in your human form. If you are a human in the North Pole, you will freeze to death." Winky told him. Jake's eyes widened.

"That makes me feel so much better about going there, Winky." Jake said sarcastically, turning into the American Dragon. Winky gasped and clapped.

"Really? Good, let's get going then!" Winky said, grabbing Jake's hand and trying to pull him outside. She failed to do so.

"We're going up to the top. We're flying there." Jake said. Suddenly, Vomer emptied his stomach.

Sorry. I got a football game! My school's out today! We got our county fair! Really big thing. Review!

Teenchic2004: Yep. You're right. Anyway, Vomer was a little creation of my own, as you can tell. I just love Winky! (Hugs Winky)

Jake Long: Of course it's the Naughty List! DUH! Hahahaha. Vomer's mad at you.

YFWE: Marshmallows are good! I got the best shirt ever! It's a green shirt and it has the Sprite dude and he's pointing up to the words is yellow that has 'Show 'em my motto' in really big words. Then on the back it has the Sprite dude with a Sprite bottle. It says Sprite on the back. It's so cool.

Digimon Ruler.9: I'm glad you think that this is interesting. It's suppose to be!
