"Ok this is the day. This is the day I tell him. I just hope he takes it ok." Alexis says as she sees Rudolph in the snowy meadow where they met and walks over to him.
"Hi Alexis." Rudolph says kindly.
"Hi Rudolph." Alexis says.
"Wow." Rudolph says as he stares at Alexis.
"Wow what?" Alexis asks.
"Its just... your eyes. They're beautiful." Rudolph says causing Alexis to blush.
"Oh thank you. Hickory never complements me like that." Alexis says as they start walking.
"Why do you stay with him? With everything he puts you through. He doesn't even seem to want to trust you." Rudolph says.
"I dont know honestly. It's not easy being the doe every buck seems to want and wherever someone does manage to be with me they always do this. I guess I put up with it because my mom wants me to be taken care of." Alexis says.
"And she thinks Hickory is the answer. Even though he doesn't treat you right." Rudolph says.
"Pretty much." Alexis says.
"Alex can I be honest with you?" Rudolph asks.
"What is it Rudolph?" Alexis asks.
"Remember back when you heard my acceptance speech and you heard me say you were the doe of my dreams? I meant it. You are the most beautiful doe I've ever seen. Your kind, smart, and loyal. I dont know what I would do without you." Rudolph says.
"Thank you Rudolph. That means a lot to me to hear that. I wish I'd heard this before I got with Hickory." Alexis says while smiling slightly.
"Then why dont you leave him?" Rudolph asks.
"Because I cant do him like that even if he deserves it." Alexis says.
"Its alright. I understand. I'm just glad to know I would of had a chance with you." Rudoph says with a kind smile.
"Hey Rudolph... can we speak for a moment?" Alexis asks still nervous.
"I thought that's what we were doing?" Rudolph asks as he laughs slightly while silenty praying and hoping Alexis doesn't say she doesn't wanna be friends with him anymore.
"No no silly I mean I would like to discuss something with you. Its very important and I need to know you trust me. So do you trust me?" Alexis asks.
"Of course I trust you. I trust you more than anyone else in the world. You mean everything to me." Rudolph says.
"Close your eyes. Just please dong freak out. Itll be ok I promise." Alexis says as Rudolph gives her a questioning look but does as she says.
"Ok open." Alexjs says as Rudolph then opens his eyes to no longer see his friend Alexis but a beautiful white wolf in front of him.
"What did you do to my friend? Where's Alexis!?" Rudolph asks as he slightly backs away.
"Rudolph it's me Alexis." Alexis says as she manages to get Rudolph to stop backing away from her.
"How do I know your not lying?" Rudolph asks while keeping his distance.
"Ask me something only you and I would know." Alexis says.
"Ok then. Alexis was the only one who heard my acceptance speech. What did I say?" Rudolph asks.
"One day that's gonna be me. Ladies and gentlemen we present the meddle of valor to our newest flyer Rudolph! Thank you thank you very much. I'd like to thank my parents for always believing in me. Oh and Santa too. For making everything possible. But most of all I'd like to thank the doe of my dreams Alexis." Alexis says.
"Alexis it really is you. But how did this happen to you?" Rudolph asks as he goes over to Alexis.
"I've always been able to do this Rudolph. I can change form between doe and wolf. I've kept it secret because I was afraid people would laugh or be afraid of me." Alexis says sadly as she shifts to doe form.
"Well dont worry. I'm big afraid of you. Well now that I know it's you anyways." Rudolph says kindly.
"Rudolph my mother made me promise to never shoe anyone I could do this. So please you must keep this between us. Promise me." Alexis says.
"Alright I promise. But just so you know I still think your beautiful as a wolf or doe." Rudoph says as he then licks Alexis's cheek causing her to blush.
"What was that for?" Alexis asks.
"Just a little way of saying thank you." Rudolph says while blushing himself.
"Thank you? For what?" Alexis asks.
"For being my friend and always being there for me when I needed you. And for trusting ne enough to show me your secret. Dont worry its safe with me. Now come on let's finish our walk and time together before Hickory comes looking for you again like last time." Rudolph says as Alexis nods and follows him.
