And now, this chapter will skip to the timeline due to my shortage. I was originally planned to make Halloween chapter, but sadly, I really don't have that much time due to my lack of focusing this year, but I assure you that I will prepare next time. I would rather not be delayed again, but what's most important is that I have to be with my family when it comes first. I realized that family is the most important things that I ever support. Hope you review this story and enjoy reading. Thank you.

Chapter 22: Christmas Spirit
Four Days Later
Another sunny day in L.A. on first day of school. The car pulled up at the drop off as both Timon and Pumbaa as both humans got off their vehicle while Marcy comes out carrying her backpack. They return home in time before summer ends. It's been spending time with their friends and family from Africa.
Marcy was a bit nervous at first because most kids won't even hangout with her, except her only friends. Timon gently take his daughter's hands as they walk towards the entrance of elementary school. He looked down at the girl warmly.
"Nervous?" Timon asked.
"A little." replied Marcy.
"Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine. You get to see your friends again."
"Okay."
They walked through the door where most kids are getting ready for their class. They walk pass some kids from six to eleven putting their stuff away in their own locker. Once they arrived at the kindergarten class, there were some five year old children playing with some toys while others were doing their own activity. Marcy couldn't see her friends. Suddenly, her teacher approached.
"Hello."
"Hi, are you her teacher?" Timon asked.
"Yes I am. I'm Kristine Sharon." said Ms. Sharon shake left hand to Timon's left hand.
"Nice to meet you, ma'am. I'm Timon, Marcy's adopted father."
"Why congratulations."
"Thank you. It's been two months since my friend and I look after her after we adopted her."
"Such a wonderful father you are." Ms. Sharon looks down at Marcy. "Hello, Marcy."
"Hi, Miss Sharon." Marcy waved her hand.
"So good to have you back. Are you ready for your first day of school?"
"Uh huh." Marcy nodded.
"Wonderful! You know where to put away your backpack."
"Okay."
Marcy walked over to the cube shelves taking off her backpack and set inside. Luckily, both Anne and Sasha got in just in time to see Marcy.
"Marcy!" Anne called out.
Marcy turns around and smiled at her friends.
"Girls!"
Both girls run towards Marcy and gave her a hug as the Asian girl hugs them back.
"I missed you!" said Anne.
"Where have you been?" Sasha asked.
"My dad took me on vacation trip." replied Marcy.
"Really? Where did he take you?"
"He took me to Disneyland!"
"What?!" Anne surprised.
"No way!" Sasha stunned.
"Uh huh, we had so many fun together." said Marcy.
"You gotta tell us everything." said Anne smiling.
While Marcy talk to her friends, both humans in disguise and her teacher were smiling at the girls.
"You took her to Disneyland?" Ms. Sharon.
"Yep, thought I could give her a big surprise." replied Timon.
"Mind blown." Pumbaa added.
"That's very sweet of you, gentlemen." said Ms. Sharon. "Are you two like together?"
"Actually, he's my roommate. We're like brothers." Pumbaa answered.
"Oh, I see. Does she has a mother?"
"I'm only single." Timon answered.
"Hmm, what are the odds."
"Could you excuse me for a second? I like to say goodbye to her." Timon asked kindly.
"Yes, of course." Ms. Sharon nodded.
"Thanks."
Timon walked over to the girls. Marcy stopped talking and looks at her dad. He bend on his knees to talk to her. Timon first glance at Anne and Sasha.
"Hello, girls."
"Hello, sir." Both Anne and Sasha said together.
"Marcy, I want you to be good now. Whenever some kids bullies you, don't give them names, don't fight, just walk away. You understand?"
"Yes, daddy." replied Marcy.
"That's my girl. I love you, pumpkin." Timon hugged Marcy.
"I love you too, daddy."
They let go and pecked his lip on Marcy's forehead and stands up.
"I'll pick you up after school."
"Okay. Bye dad." Marcy waved.
"Bye sweetie. Take care now." Timon walks away and approach Ms. Sharon.
"I'll take good of her." said Ms. Sharon.
"Thank you, ma'am. Have a good day."
"You too."
They both left the classroom as soon as she close the door.
"Alright, children, take your seats."
The toddlers went over to their desk and sat down at the chair. They looked at Ms. Sharon when writing down on her marker board.
"I hope you enjoy your summer vacation spending time with your family. Now that summer is over, we're gonna start doing some school works. Before we begin, I'm going to give out your art craft."
Ms. Sharon picks up some baskets and give them to the children one by one. Once Ms. Sharon give the full basket of art craft to Marcy, the girl took out some crafts and start doing her art. Anne tilted her head at her best friend curiously.
"Whatcha' Doin?" Anne asked.
"I'm making an art." Marcy answered.
"What are you gonna make?"
Marcy pause for a moment. She pulled out her crayons when she starts drawing her art by different each of colors. Once she's done, she show her drawings of her with Timon and Pumbaa as humans to Anne.
"It looks pretty." said Anne.
"Thanks, Anne. It's what families do." Marcy thanked her best friend.
(Together We Stand - Ariana Greenblatt)
Catch my eye, take my hand
This bond is tighter than we ever planned
Give me courage, so I can land
We know that divided we'll fall
So together we stand
Few hours later, schools out when most kids comes out including Marcy and her friends. Suddenly, she spotted a green car smiling and run towards. She opens the door and climbed onto her front seat where Timon sits at the driver smiling. He pecked his lips on her forehead. She put on her seatbelt until he droves away while Anne and Sasha were waving at Marcy.
Climb with me, share my dreams
Tomorrow's brighter than it's ever been
Fear no danger, make big plans
We know that divided we'll fall
So together we stand
One week later on Saturday, Marcy, Timon, and Pumbaa stop by at the science center where most kids are playing some interactive while parents were watching. Marcy admires everything of science. They were watching the penguin movie where most kids love sitting on the floor. Marcy hugged her dad warmly after seeing the part where penguin chick was hugged by its mother. Pumbaa smiles warmly at them as he pulled out a candy bar, but all of sudden, most kids tackles on him demanding for the candy bar.
Laugh and cry with me
Fly that high with me
See the sunset and the sunrise
The world looks so good through our eyes
Like the moon and stars at night
The next day on Sunday, they were at the park laying on the grass looking up at the sky. Marcy was pointing at the cloud that looks resembles to a frog. Then Timon point his finger at the cloud that looks resemble to a caterpillar. Pumbaa point his finger at the cloud that looks resemble to a Mickey's ears. Timon took a glance at Marcy as she giggles.
Rest your head, tell me your thoughts
Everything I have and called mine is all yours
Sail that ocean, find that sand
We know that divided we'll fall
So together we stand
One month later on Halloween at the Boonchuys residence, Anne is wearing her cat costume like Domino while Sasha was wearing her princess gown. Mrs. Boonchuy dressed up as a witch gathering all of the candy until they heard a doorbell. Mrs. Boonchuy answered the door showing Marcy dressed up as Boo holding her pumpkin bucket while Timon and Pumbaa both dressed up as Mike and Sulley.
"Trick or Treat!"
It was Marcy's First Halloween with her adopted family. Mrs. Boonchuy smiles at them giving candies to Marcy while Anne and Sasha ran up to Marcy and give her a hug. They ran off together as they laugh. Timon quickly ran off to catch up with the girls, but slip and fall flatly making Anne's mother laugh at him while Pumbaa chuckles.
"Uh... little help." said Timon.
Next month on Thanksgiving, they stop by at the orphanage where Marcy use to live. Marcy is now wearing her nice green dress while Timon and Pumbaa wearing their nice clothes. They walk towards to the entrance and enter to the lobby. It shows Bailey and her adopted mother were setting up the table for the orphans.
"Bailey!"
The girl turns around and smiles at Marcy when run towards and gives her hug.
"Marcy! What are you doing here?" Bailey asked smiling.
"I wanted to spend my Thanksgiving with you." Marcy answered.
"Aw, thank you."
Timon and Pumbaa were smiling warmly at the girls reunion. They turned their heads at Ms. Padilla smiling at them.
"Hello, boys. It's so good to see you." said Ms. Padilla.
"You too." replied Timon.
"How's your day going?" Pumbaa asked.

Later on, all of the orphans were at different each of tables as they shared their dinner with respectively. Marcy and her adopted dad and uncle are sitting at the table with Bailey and her adopted mother along with this man which turns out that he was married to Ms. Bailey until she was pregnant.
Marcy gently touched her former caretaker stomach feeling that there was a bump. Bailey smiles warmly at Marcy since she told her that she's going to have a sibling.
Timon and Pumbaa ate their turkey with well manner while Ms. Padilla and her husband were chatting about their plan decided that he should moved here to volunteer.
Reach with me, see the sky

Side by side, hand in hand
We speak a language no one else can understand
Hear those cheers, strike up the band
The next day on Friday since there is no school, they went back to Disneyland to spend their holiday vacation. Marcy is wearing her green jacket and her Minnie's hedband while Timon and Pumbaa are wearing their Disney jacket. They were watching Christmas Parade where it shows Santa Claus sitting on the sleigh in his own float waving at the visitors. Marcy waved her hands at Santa.

Later that evening, they were watching firework show in Christmas version as they stand in front of the castle. Marcy is sitting on Timon's shoulder holding her Mickey's ears green balloon while Pumbaa is eating his kettle corn. Marcy hugged her daddy's head when Timon felt that she warmly hugged him as he smiles back.
(Music ends)
Next month on December, it was Marcy's First Christmas with Timon and Pumbaa as they already decorated their house with Christmas lights and candy canes on the grass with inflatable snowman. Inside the house, Timon is decorating the tree with many colorful of ornaments.
"Jungle smells, jungle smells, jungle all the way." Timon sings incorrectly.
"Don't you mean 'Jingle Bells'?" Pumbaa state his best friend carrying a box of Christmas decorative.
"Oh, right. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way."
While Timon sings in humming, Marcy approached the tree with box of candy cane and start setting the candy canes on each branches. Pumbaa sets some beads on the tree. Once Marcy is done, she pulled out a star that goes on top of the tree.
"Alright, that's the last one." Timon looked at Marcy smiling. "Wanna put the star on top?"
"Yes, daddy." Marcy answered.
"Okay, here we go."
Timon lift Marcy up to reach the top and she gently put the star on top of the Christmas Tree. He set her down gently and stares at the tree by the fireplace.
"(sigh) Perfect." said Timon softly.
"It's beautiful." Marcy added.
"I can't believe we get to spend our first Christmas with Marcy." said Pumbaa.
"Yeah, my first Christmas with my favorite uncle and my daddy." Marcy agrees.
"Aw, come here." Pumbaa hugged his little niece when giggles.
"Say, uh... who wants to go shopping?" Timon asked.
"We do!" Both Marcy and Pumbaa said all together.
"Great! Now, let's get shopping!"
Meanwhile at the mall, they parked their car at the parking lot and went inside to go shopping. The interior of the mall was fully decorated with Christmas like ribbons and wreathes. There was a huge Christmas Tree at the center. Most people go shopping to get their presents. Marcy is walking with Timon and Pumbaa as they all walk together.
"So pumpkin, what do you like for Christmas?" Timon asked kindly.
"Hmm, I don't know yet." Marcy answered.
"Really? I thought you wanted something like toys or videogames."
"Christmas isn't about giving, it's about spending time together with friends and family like you." Marcy explained.
"Aw, thanks sweetie."
"Hey look! It's Santa Claus!" Pumbaa noticed.
They looked at Santa sitting on the chair while most kids are in line with their parents. Marcy smiles with eyes sparkles.
"Daddy, can I meet Santa? Can I? Can I?" Marcy asked.
"Of course, sweetie." Timon answered. "Before we go, I need to do something."
Timon started to whisper Pumbaa's ears in secret so Marcy doesn't know about this.
"Pumbaa, I need you find a gift for Marcy." Timon whispered.
"Got it!" Pumbaa whispered.
"So, Mar-Mar, ready to meet Santa?" Timon asked.
"Yeah!" Marcy nodded.
"Then let's go!"
Timon lifted Marcy up and set her on his shoulder as he run towards while Marcy giggles. Pumbaa moved his head around to make sure no ones following him. The human in disguise walked over to the toy shop where most people tries to get their present to their children. Pumbaa starts searching for something that Marcy likes until he stops and stare something that is valuable. He spread his grin knowing that this will be perfect.
Meanwhile for Marcy and Timon waiting in line to see Santa. They waited patiently when most boys and girls meeting Santa one by one. Marcy was so excited to meet Santa in person. Timon was glad that she gets to meet him.
"So, kid, is this your first time meeting Santa?" Timon asked.
"Uh huh, I have never been to the mall since I was an orphan. Bailey and I used to spend some time together on Christmas." replied Marcy.
"Well, your in luck. Since your fully adopted, I'm giving you the best Christmas ever."
"Thank you, daddy."
"You're welcome."
Once the boy left with his father, Timon gently lift Marcy off of his shoulder and set her down so that she can meet Santa. They walk closer to him as Father Christmas turn his head at them smiling.
"Why, hello there. What's your name, little girl?"
"I'm Marcy."
"Marcy, come sit on my lap."
Marcy walk over as she climbs on to sit on Santa's lap. She looked up at him smiling.
"Now, what would you like for Christmas?"
"I don't know about that, but can you keep a secret?" replied Marcy.
He nodded.
"Okay, before I was orphaned, I used to have my parents. I couldn't remember when I was a baby. I also have my big brother. we used to play together until we were separated. I lost my parents, but I don't know what happen to my brother." Marcy explained her story.
"Oh dear, I am so sorry. I'm sure your brother will be alright."
"You do?" Marcy asked softly.
"Of course, every children deserves a second chance."
"Okay, all I want for Christmas is my big brother. I don't know if he can showed up on Christmas."
"I don't know if its possible, but I'll do my best."
"Thanks Santa." Marcy hugged Santa.
Timon approach them once Marcy got off of Santa's lap.
"That's very sweet of her." said Timon and then he whispered. "Say, what's your name?"
Santa whispered to the human in disguise so that Marcy doesn't hear this.
"Well, that settles it. If I gave her a frog, I would named it, Wally."
They left the area when Santa waved his arm at them as they exit the area. Pumbaa approached at the exit as they regroup, but what he bought was super secret.
"So, how'd it go?" Pumbaa asked.
"It's going great. You?"
Pumbaa hold the package. Timon gave him a thumbs up and then turn his head at his daughter.
"You okay, kid?"
"Mmm hmm." Marcy nodded.
"Don't worry, sweetie, you'll get to see your brother. One day."
"I hope so."
Meanwhile in Taipei for that evening, we looked to the house where it was decorated with Christmas lights. Then we cut to Eddie sitting at the desk with the lamp turned on. He was about to wrote a letter his long-lost sister, but he doesn't know what to say if he revealed himself to Marcy. Instead, he thought a better one once he starts writing a letter.
"Dear Marcy, I don't know we bump each other back in Disneyland. I'm sorry that we never get a chance to talk , but I don't want to spoil our little secret. I just wanted to say that I'm happy for you living with your dad. Hope you have a wonderful time on Christmas with your family. Signed, a friend."
Eddie finish writing a letter and smiles warmly. He put the letter inside the envelope and wrote his sisters name. Eddie walked outside from his house to put the letter inside the mailbox that goes to mail service. Once he slips the letter inside, he sighed softly and looked up in the sky staring at the full moon.
"Merry Christmas, Marcy."
Twenty three days later on Christmas Eve, that evening when Timon and Pumbaa walked out from the house carrying their meal along with Marcy carrying a present. They walk towards their vehicle and set their meal in the back while Marcy climbs inside to the back seat.
Marcy put on her green jacket and she's wearing Santa's hat while Timon is wearing his yellow sweater and Pumbaa is wearing his green patterns sweater. She buckled herself while Pumbaa start the engine.
"You ready to see your bestest best friend?" Pumbaa asked.
"Yep!" Marcy answered.
"Next stop, Boonchuys residence." said Timon.
Pumbaa backed up from and drove away. It won't be long until they arrived at the Boonchuys house. It only take a few minutes since they're in the neighborhood. They got out from the car and take their meal out from the back while Marcy jumps out holding her present. They walk towards to the door and rang the doorbell. The door opens when it shows Mrs. Boonchuy wearing Santa's sweater and Santa's hat.
"Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas. Come on in." said Mrs. Boonchuy.
They went through the door while Mrs. Boonchuy close the door.
"Thank you for stopping by for a visit."
"No problem." said Timon.
"We brought you a meal." Pumbaa added.
"Mmm, what's that?" Mrs. Boonchuy asked.
"Cookies and apple pie!" Marcy answered cheerfully.
"Sounds delicious."
"I hope you love 'em" said Pumbaa. "I'll set it at the table."
"That would be helpful."
Anne run downstairs to see Marcy when smile.
"Marcy!" Anne smiles.
Marcy run towards her best friend and hug each other for short instance until they let release from hug.
"Merry Christmas, Anna-Banana!" said Marcy holds out her gift.
"For me?" Anne gasp softly.
"Uh huh, it's my first Christmas with you."
"Thanks, Mar-Mar."
"No problem."
"Alright, folks, dinners ready." said Mr. Bonchuy peek his head out from the kitchen.
Later on, everyone in the house are sitting at the table with turkey, mash potato, and some Thai food. Adults can eat their meals while both girls are eating their own macaroni cheese. Once Pumbaa drink his soda from the glass cup, he burped, but quickly covered his mouth making the Boonchuys parents chuckled.
"Pumbaa! Manners." Timon scolded.
"Sorry." Pumbaa apologizes.
"Please excuse him. He needs to learn some manners."
"It's fine. As long as he doesn't do anything else." said Mrs. Boonchuy.
"Right. So, how's your Christmas going?"
"It's doing great, actually. How's yours?"
"Well, it's our first Christmas with our little angel."
"And her first Christmas with us." Pumbaa added.
"That's sweet of you two spending your first Christmas with Marcy." said Mrs. Boonchuy.
"So, what you planning tomorrow?" Mr. Boonchuy asked.
"We're gonna open our presents and then stop by at the orphanage where Marcy use to live to celebrate Christmas with the orphans." Pumbaa answered.
"How generous of you." said Mr. Boonchuy.
"Thanks."
"Mom, may I please be excuse?" Anne asked kindly.
"Yes, you may, but wash your hands when you're done eating." Mrs. Boonchuy answered
"Okay."
Both Anne and Marcy got off from the table and run upstairs to the bathroom to wash their hands leaving the adults behind at the table. Suddenly, Domino dressed up as Santa jumps up on Timon's lap purring.
"Aw, she really likes you." said Mrs. Boonchuy cooing.
"Well, how about that." said Timon chuckled.
Later on, everyone in this room are watching Christmas movie on TV that came out from 1946 that is black and white. Both Anne and Marcy are sitting on the floor eating cookies that her mother baked. Timon and Anne's parents are sitting on the couch while Pumbaa sits on the recliner chair. Domino is laying on Mrs. Boonchuys' lap napping. They were watching at the end of the movie where it shows a man yelling out saying "Merry Christmas" to everyone.
"You don't think you end up like him, do you?" Pumbaa asked.
"Why would you say that?" Timon asked.
"I'm just saying if something ever bad happens to you or either one of us."
"Pumbaa, there's no way something ever bad happen to us. If I were him, I would have to keep it under control."
Marcy let out a yawn. Timon notice this.
"Are you tired?" Timon asked kindly.
"Yeah." Marcy nodded.
"Okay, we should be going."
"Already?" Mr. Boonchuy asked.
"Yeah, it's getting a little late." replied Timon when got off the couch.
Pumbaa got off from the chair stretch his arms. Timon picked Marcy up as he carries her gently.
"So anyways, thanks for inviting us for dinner." Timon thanked Anne's mother.
"You're welcome, and thank you for bringing us an apple pie." replied Mrs. Boonchuy.
"Wait, hold on." said Anne realize something.
She got up and went over to pick up her gift and show this to them raising her arms high enough to reach Marcy.
"I bought this for you."
Marcy reached out her hand and took the present from her friend. She smiles warmly at Anne.
"Thanks Anne." said Marcy.
"You're welcome, Marcy. Hope you have a wonderful time with your dad."
"Merry Christmas, Anne."
"Merry Christmas, Mar-Mar."
"Well, goodnight folks." said Timon.
"Goodnight." said Mr. Boonchuy.
"Merry Christmas." said Mrs. Boonchuy.
"You too." said Pumbaa.
They walk through the door leaving only Anne and her parents including Domino. Timon and Pumbaa are walking towards to their vehicle while the human in disguise carrying Marcy. He gently set inside in the back seat, put on a seatbelt, and close the door. They went to front seat when Pumbaa turn on the engine and drove away from the Boonchuys residence.
In a few seconds after they made it back home, Marcy is now wearing her pajamas setting up some cookies on a plate and a glass milk at the coffee table for Santa. Timon and Pumbaa were already revert themselves back into both meerkat and warthog as they approach to her.
"You ready for bed?" Timon asked.
"Uh huh." Marcy nodded.
"Okay, let's get some sleep."
"Is it alright that I can sleep on the couch?"
"Why?" Pumbaa asked.
"I thought if I can see Santa Claus when he comes to our house."
"Are you sure?"
"Mmm hmm."
"Tell you what. Why don't we all sleep together on the couch." Timon suggested.
"That sounds like a great idea." Pumbaa agrees.
They climbed on the couch. Marcy reach her blanket and tucked herself holding on to her stuffed caterpillar. Timon snuggled himself too with Marcy while Pumbaa laid on the couch.
"Goodnight." said Marcy softly.
"Sleep tight." replied Timon softly.
"Dream of bed bugs, tonight." said Pumbaa before he fell asleep.
Both father and daughter snuggled themselves together and drifted to sleep. Few minutes later when the clock strokes at midnight, they didn't even hear a sound when there's a jingle sound. And then, the real Santa Claus climbs down through the chimney. Not the one from the mall, but the REAL Santa came to town.
He took a glance at Marcy sleeping with Timon and Pumbaa on the couch. He smiles warmly at them knowing that the girl was adopted. He pulls out some presents from the bag and placed it at the table, then he placed some gifts inside three stockings with their names on it, and then he ate all the cookies and drink a glass. Once he's done, he pulls out one last gift and set it place at the coffee table. He went over to the fireplace, but take a last look at them sleeping.
"Merry Christmas, Marcy."
Santa climbs up through the chimney until he left with reindeers flying with a jingle sounds. Marcy smiles warmly hearing something that she knew.
The next morning on Christmas Day, Marcy slowly woke up and yawn so loud. She tiredly look at the tree, but her eyes went wide and gasp.
"Daddy! Uncle Pumbaa! Wake up! Wake up! It's Christmas!" Marcy bounced on the couch trying to wake them up.
Timon yawned as he got up and cracked his back. Pumbaa yawned.
"What time is it?" Timon asked tiredly.
"It's Christmas! The presents are here!"
Both of them went eyes widen when staring at some presents in front of the Christmas Tree. They were surprised.
"Well I'll be monkeys uncle." Timon stunned softly.
"Oh boy! Presents!" said Pumbaa.
They got off from the couch and picked out their presents of their own and took their own stockings from the fireplace. Once they gathered some presents, they started to unwrap the presents. Marcy got her stuffed Squirtle from "Pokémon", Princess Tiana doll, her new clothes, her big book of biology, her new videogame for 3DS, and a Sleeping Beauty Castle playset with multiple Disney figures.
Timon and Pumbaa got their own gifts like some new clothes, baseball bat, cooking supplies, a laptop, and some books they can read. They even got their own gift cards. They dumped their stockings revealed that are some snacks like candies and cookies. Once they cleaned it all up by putting away some presents to each rooms, Timon approached Marcy playing with her toys.
"Marcy, there's something that we got you for Christmas." said Timon holds out a package.
Marcy stops playing and gently took the present from Timon. She opens the lid and went gasp softly. She pulls out a pink stuffed butterfly with glitters on its wings. She smiles softly at her adopted father.
"You bought this for me?" Marcy asked softly.
"Yes, sweetie. It's your first Christmas gift from us." replied Timon.
"It was all my idea." Pumbaa added.
Marcy hugged the meerkat warmly and he hug her back.
"Merry Christmas, daddy."
"Merry Christmas, Marbles."
Few minutes later, Timon and Pumbaa revert themselves back into humans, fully dressed, and walked out from the door along with Marcy when already dressed. Pumbaa dressed up as Santa Claus for volunteer so that could lighten up the orphans. He close the door behind him and locked the door.

(Music ends)
Later that evening when they got home after their day at the orphanage, Timon and Pumbaa is reading a bedtime story to Marcy what it talks about Christmas. Marcy was already wearing her green pajamas holding her stuffed caterpillar when laying on her bed.
"And so, Clara and her Prince rode on the sleigh as they went back to Clara's home leaving the Land of Sweets waved goodbye at her subjects and they all lived happily ever after. The End." Timon finish reading to Marcy.
"Wow."
"So, what's it like to have your first Christmas with us?"
"It's feels great! I am thankful to be part of your family and I am happy to be your adopted daughter."
"Aww.
"Hey, Timon. There's something that you forgot something." said Pumbaa.
"Like what?" Timon asked.
"Well, I picked up a letter today and it's for Marcy."
Pumbaa pulls out an envelope. Marcy gently took the envelope, then she open it pulled out a letter, and started to read.
"Dear Marcy, I don't know we bump each other back in Disneyland. I'm sorry that we never get a chance to talk , but I don't want to spoil our little secret. I just wanted to say that I'm happy for you living with your dad. Hope you have a wonderful time on Christmas with your family. Signed, a friend."
Timon gently took the letter and read it silence. Marcy looked at him softly.
"Dad?"
"Yes, sweetie?"
"Was it the boy that I bump into?" Marcy recalls.
"Not that I heard of." replied Timon. "Who ever send this, I should be thanking him for sending a letter to you."
"Okay, goodnight daddy."
"Goodnight, Marbles and Merry Christmas."
Timon pecked his lip on Marcy's forehead. They walked out from Marcy's room and closed the door behind them after turning off the light. Marcy started to pondering when this boy send a letter to her. Who was this boy? Marcy slowly drifted into sleep when yawned. She didn't notice for a moment when the Wisp appears staring at the girl. It tilted its head curiously and then disappear silently when vanished.
And that's it folks, this is the last part where we see our favorite little girls as kids, but it's only the beginning when they all grow up together. But I couldn't tell what day is Marcy's birthday because I would really wanted to know if that happens otherwise that I have to add or skip Marcy's birthday in my headcanon. As of now, the next chapter takes place way before Amphibia, until then that I will make some funny or saddest moment whenever I feel like it.
The song that I used is from "The Boss Baby 2", Together We Stand performed by Ariana Greenblatt and another song is from "Muppets Christmas Carol". Stay tune for next chapter in the future and have a Merry Christmas to you all!
Amphibia and The Lion King
