Well, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays Everyone, as a little present for all of you, here is a little Christmas story. All 101 DS Characters belong to the Walt Disney Company. Now enjoy the show.
It was a very cold, very snowy and very late Christmas Eve night in London, cars were rushing to get home, some adults were out and about, and all the children were fast asleep dreaming of Santa Claus and what presents they would receive come Christmas morning. As for a small house on 101 Dalmatian Street, it was no exception, inside the house all of the dalmatians were all sleeping peacefully, except for two dalmatian's of course.
Dylan and Dolly Dalmatian were both tossing and turning in the Christmas blankets that they both had wrapped around each other.
"Ugh, this always happens to you and me every single year," Dolly said, her voice hushed so she won't wake up anyone else, "Why must our excitement, keep us from sleeping?"
Dylan sighed, "I don't know why this happens to us, but I sure do hate it." He said, his voice also hushed, "You would expect everyone younger than us to be this way, but they sleep like rocks, whilst we can't sleep, it's ridiculous."
Dolly couldn't help but nod her head, "Yeah it is ridiculous." She turned to face her brother, "We've been doing this since we were puppies and we still haven't gotten over this."
Dylan turned to face her as well, "You can sure say that again." He sighed, "This never happens to us any day of the year except on Christmas Eve, we can't seem to fall asleep, and we are always so tired on Christmas because of this."
Just as Dolly was about to respond, she heard a series of muffled pitter-patters coming from the top of the roof.
"What was that?" She asked, a little nervous.
"I don't know what that was, it could have been-" Before Dylan could finish his sentence, the two dalmatians then heard the muffled and somewhat quiet sound of footsteps now coming from the roof, then after that, they heard the sound of something coming down the chimney. Dylan and Dolly both stared at each other, a look of awe plastered onto their faces.
"Dyl..." Dolly began, "Do you think those footsteps could be..."
"Santa Claus?" Dylan finished for her.
"Let's go downstairs and see."
"Are you sure that's a good idea, Dolly, what if we get caught?"
"Don't worry about that, just stay quiet, and nothing bad could possibly happen."
Dylan just simply nodded, and the two of them slowly stood up, and quietly and as silently as the two dalmatians could manage, walked towards the door to the room they were in and quietly opened it. They then slowly walked out of the room and crept down the stairs, and upon reaching the bottom of the stairs they peaked into the living room and lone-behold there stood Santa Claus, who was placing presents underneath the Christmas Tree.
"Oh, my dog..." Dolly whispered to Dylan, "I can't believe it...it's actually him...it's actually Santa." Dolly couldn't help but smile in excitement.
"I can't believe it either Dolly," Dylan replied, also smiling in excitement, "I really can't."
Dylan and Dolly both watched in extreme excitement and giddiness as Santa continued to place a lot of presents under their Christmas Tree, then begin to stuff the stockings when he finished with the tree, Dylan and Dolly couldn't help but wonder what could be inside of those presents, and their stockings.
"I really hope I got what I wanted this year..." Dolly said still watching Santa fill the last stocking.
"I hope so too Dolly...I sure hope so as well." Dylan replied, his eyes also watching Santa.
"Ho ho ho, if you two don't go back to sleep...then you may not get what you wished for."
Dylan and Dolly both felt shocked when they heard that, they both turned to look at each other, both of them realizing what had just happened.
"Did..."
"Santa...
"Just...
"Find...
"Out?" They both finished in unison.
They heard Santa chuckle from the living room, "Of course...after all, I do know when you are awake."
Dylan and Dolly both slowly walked into the living room, their eyes not leaving Santa for a millisecond.
"W-we should have seen that coming from miles away," Dylan stated, sitting down in front of Santa, with Dolly following suit.
"Yeah, I don't know why we didn't think of that," Dolly replied.
The three of them all remained in their positions in silence, unsure of what to say next, until Dylan finally thought of something to say.
"So um...has delivering presents been easy for you?"
Santa couldn't help but give a hearty chuckle, "Well, it can be quite difficult getting down chimneys every now and then...but other than that it's not too hard."
Dylan nodded, "Well...good to know it's going well for you..." Suddenly another question popped into Dylan's head, and it was the question...everyone seemed to ask Santa Claus whenever they saw him in stores.
"Um...Santa?"
"Hmmm, what is it, Dylan?"
Dylan cleared his throat, before speaking, "Um...have Dolly and I...been good dogs this year?"
Santa smiled, "Of course...you two have been great dogs this year, you and Dolly have done many good things this year."
Dylan and Dolly could feel all their worries on their hearts disappear when they heard that, it made them feel happy to hear Santa telling them that they had been good dogs.
"What have we done that was great this year Santa?" Dolly asked in curiosity.
Santa didn't even hesitate for a moment before speaking, "Well...you two have looked out for each other, helped each other, looked out for your siblings, always helped out your siblings, been respectful, been very caring, you two never bullied others, you two have stuck together as a family, and have done many sweet things for your friends, I am very proud of you both."
Dylan and Dolly both smiled even wider hearing that, they were so glad that Santa was proud of all the nice things they had done that year.
"Thank you very much Santa...it's not a problem you know, me and Dylan just do what we think is the right thing to do." Dolly told him.
"Well, that's very good of you two," Santa replied. "You two have done great this year, and all those great acts were what put you on my nice list this year."
"Well, I am certainly glad we didn't end up on the Naughty List this year," Dylan replied, "That certainly wouldn't have been a good thing."
"Speaking of...naughty...as good as you two were...you have done a few naughty things this year." Santa said, frowning a little bit.
Dylan frowned a little upon hearing that, "Like what?"
"Well, for starters you two have lied a few times," Santa began. "You two have also bickered, made a few messes, and sometimes fought with each other, and your siblings."
Dolly sighed, "Oh...that's right."
"Despite that, you two have still been the best behaved out of everyone."
Dylan cocked his head a bit, "We have?"
Santa gave a hearty chuckle, "Of course you have, you two have been such great older siblings, and have been really nice towards your friends."
Dylan and Dolly both smiled once more hearing that, they were so glad to know that they have been the best behaved out of everyone.
"Oh...th-thank you Santa," Dolly said. "That's so nice to hear."
Santa nodded, "You are very welcome."
Dolly then asked one question she had on her mind, "Have the pups been good this year?"
Santa smiled and nodded, "Of course, all one hundred and one of you have been very good this year...despite some of the naughty stuff you did...you still ended up on the nice list, thanks to all of the nice things you all did, all of you deserve every single thing you get this Christmas."
Dolly smiled, "That's fantastic to hear, thank you for telling us...and thank you for tellings us we deserve our presents...it means a lot you know?"
Santa smiled, "You are very welcome you two," Santa cleared his throat before continuing, "Well, I think it's time you two should go back to sleep."
"Aww, do we have to?" Dylan asked, frowning a bit. "We want to say here and keep talking to you."
"Well, I certainly can't keep talking all night, after all, I have more presents to deliver." Santa chuckled a bit.
"Well...you have a point there." Dolly replied.
"Well...if you two will excuse me...I have to head off." Santa walked towards the chimney, then turned to face them, "If you two keep being good, maybe next year I might leave an extra present or two for you."
Dylan and Dolly nodded their heads, in unison.
"We will Santa, we promise, and thank you." Dylan said, Dolly, nodding her head in agreement with Dylan.
Santa smiled, "You're certainly welcome, now make sure you keep your promise, now Dylan...Dolly, I hope you, your family, and all of your friends will have a very Merry Christmas...and a very pleasant new year!" Santa turned towards the chimney and climbed into it, and with a 'woosh' he flew up the chimney.
Dylan and Dolly sat there for a minute, not knowing what to do next.
"I still can't believe we met and talked to the one and only Santa Claus, I just still can't believe it Dylan." Dolly said, smiling.
Dylan nodded, "Yeah...I can't really believe it either."
Then they heard a cluster of 'pitter-patters' from the roof, and as soon as they heard it, the sound disappeared, Dylan and Dolly were sad, they knew that was the sound of Santa leaving, and continuing his journey, as slightly sad as they were, they understood why he left, to give presents to others.
Dylan suddenly yawned a bit, "Well...I think we should head back to sleep, or we will never wake up in the morning."
Dolly yawned too, as she nodded, "Yeah...that's a good idea Dyl."
The two of them then walked back upstairs to the room they were sleeping in, and laid down on their blankets, and closed their eyes. The two tossed and turned a bit of course, after all, they were still having that giddy feeling of what they could get come Christmas Morning and were still giddy from having just talked to Santa Claus, however despite that, in a few minutes, they fell asleep, dreaming of what they could have gotten for Christmas Day.
Dylan and Dolly awoke to the feeling of a pair of paws shaking them awake.
"Dylan...Dolly...wake up!" One voice said.
"It's Christmas Morning!" The other voice said.
Dylan and Dolly both groaned a bit, before opening their eyes, revealing an excited Dizzy and Dee Dee, large smiles plastered on their faces.
"Come on guys, get up!" Dizzy said, excitement visible in her voice.
"Come look, downstairs." Dee Dee said, excitement also visible in her voice.
Dylan and Dolly both got up, slightly tired from last night, and followed Dizzy and Dee Dee downstairs, there everyone was sitting around the Christmas Tree, everyone had an excited look on their face, their tails wagging in excitement.
"Dylan, Dolly look Santa came!" Da Vinci said, pointing at the tree, "Man...I wish we could have all seen Santa."
"Well Da Vinci, believe it or not, me and Dolly both saw him yesterday." Dylan said, every single pup in the room, went wide-eyed upon hearing that.
"Really?" Dawkins asked him, his face full of excitement, his tail wagging like mad, "Did he say anything to you guys, or do anything for you?"
"Well..." Dolly began, "He told us that all of us were very good this year and that how you all made it onto his nice list this year...though he did say we did do some naughty things this year...he said that we all deserve all the presents we got."
"Wow...that is so cool!" DJ said, smiling widely, "Did he say anything else?"
"Yeah...he said one last thing before he left..." Dylan stated, smiling.
"Well, what did he say?"
"He wished for us to have a very Merry Christmas and a very pleasant New Year."
