"Do I have to go?" Alexis asks as Sky gently pushes her along to follow other bucks and does to a school.
"Yes Alexis dear now go on you'll be late." Sky says as she makes Alexis go with the other students as they gather in a room with an adult doe.
"Good morning yearlings." The adult doe says.
"Good morning Mrs. Prancer." Everyone says in union.
"Now let's see what we've learned about reindeer history. Who can tell me how Santa picks the flyers for his team? Alexis since your new maybe you can tell me?" Mrs. Prancer asks.
"Once a year Santa holds the junior reindeer games. It's every reindeer's chance to shine and prove their worth to Santa. And if you really impress Santa at the games he may ask you to be a flyer one day." Alexis says shyly.
"Well done Alexis. Your mother has taught you well. Now as you know yearlings all flyers wear the coveted medal of valor. But who can tell me what the medal of valor stands for?" Mrs. Prancer asks.
"Courage! Character! And a heart that's true!" Rudolph says causing Alexis to smile kindly at him seeing he knows what being a flyer is about.
"Correct Rudolph. But next time raise your hoof." Mrs. Prancer says.
"My dad Cupid says I was born to be a flyer just like him." Arrow says.
"Your out of order Arrow." Mrs. Prancer says as everyone starts saying they wanna be a flyer as Rudolph then says he wants to be a flyer.
"Not with that nose." Arrow says as everyone starts laughing and making fun of Rudolph except for Zoey and Alexis.
"Hey back off anyone can be a flyer if they choose." Alexis says managing to get most of the bucks to shut up and fake apologize as Rudolph runs walks away crying.
"Poor Rudolph." Zoey says sadly.
"I'll go check on him." Alexis says as she follows after Rudolph ignoring Mrs. Prancer telling her to come back. as alexis finds rudolph near some frozen water looking at his reflection in the eyes she hears him say he wants to be normal.
"Why be normal? Being unique is nothing to be ashamed of." Alexis says startling Rudolph as he sees her.
"Your the new girl aren't you?" Rudolph asks as Alexis goes closer to him.
"Yea. We never really formally met. I'm Alexis you must be Rudolph." Alexis says kindly.
"How'd you know?" Rudolph asks giving Alexis a kind smile.
"Lucky guess." Alexis says laughing slightly.
"Well it was nice meeting you Alexis. You probably dont wanna be seen with me though." Rududolph says sadly as he turns away and starts walking.
"Hey wait I didn't say I was gonna leave. I actually wanna get to know you." Alexis says making Rudolph stop and turn around with a smile.
"Really?! Even though I have a glowing red nose?" Rudolph asks as Alexis giggles slightly.
"Of course. Just because your different doesn't mean I dont wanna be friends. Besides I think being different means there's more thinks to like about someone." Alexis says kindly as Rudolph starts jumping around happily.
"Wow I cant believe someone other than Zoey actually likes my red nose." Rudolph says as he jumps around happy causing Alexis to smile and laugh.
"So let's take a walk for a bit get to know each other some hmm?" Alexis asks as Rudolph stops jumping and smiles at Alexis as he walks beside her.
*Timeskip*
"Its getting late Rudolph I should be heading home. My mom is probably wondering where I am." Alexis says.
"Aww can you not stay for a bit longer?" Rudolph asks sadly.
"I'm sorry I can't." Alexis says sadly.
"Well at least let me walk you home." Rudph says as the two start walking back to the village.
"Alright I'd like that very much. Thank you." Alexis says kindly.
"Your welcome." Rudolph says smiling.
*Timeskip*
"Goodnight Alexis. Will I see you at reindeer school tomorrow?" Rudolph asks as they reach Alexis's house.
"Yep goodnight Rudolph." Alexis says kindly as she goes inside only to be met by her mother Sky.
"I see you made a new friend just like I told you that you would. Just dont go leaving school and scaring me like that again." Sky says.
"Yes I really like him. He's really sweet. And sorry mom it wont happen again." Alexis says.
"Good for you dear now off to bed with you. You have school tomorrow." Sky says.
"Yes mom." Alexis says heading to bed.
