Authoress' note: I'm writing a short Christmas special.

Why?

Because I want to, that's why.

While this does not take place in the AU "What was promised," in my head-canon Henry has two daughters, and I'm keeping that head-canon. Take this story as an AU for that AU.

I own nothing but my OCs.

For most Christmases Henry would wake up to the cheering of his children. His two daughters Charity and Grace would burst into the master bedroom and bounce on their parents screaming, "Santa came! Santa came!"

But for this Christmas, he woke up to a crash, as well as Bendy screaming, "I got him! I got him."

Oh boy...

While Linda gave a mumbled "What's going on?" Henry grabbed his robe and raced downstairs. The first floor was a mess. The Christmas tree was knocked over, the plate of cookies broken and scattered everywhere, three shepherd from the Nativity set were knocked over (RIP, random shepherds), a giant red sack next to the chimney, and to top that all off a jolly old in a big beard was hanging over the ceiling in a giant homemade net.

And Bendy was standing right next to him, smiling with pride.

"Henry look, I finally caught him! I finally caught that old geezer."

Henry did not speak. He only stared at the two in disbelief, not hearing the three pairs of footsteps thump down the stairs.

"Dad, what's going oooonnnn... oh mercy! What happened?!" Charity, his oldest, shouted. The younger daughter, Grace, rubbed her eyes to clear the eye gunk. Linda shrieked when she saw the tree.

"Bendy, what did you do?!" The mother shouted.

"I caught that fat guy who breaks into our house every year!" Bendy's eyes became beady and off modeled. "I always said I'd catch him, and tonight I've finally done it!"

"You naughty little punk." The trapped man mumbled.

"Quiet you!" Bendy whacked him with a giant plastic candy cane. "That's for always getting me black rocks while Henry and the others get cool stuff."

"Pap, what'z going on?" Two new figures slumped down the stairs. One wore a night dress and a halo, the other just night pants and a bone in his mouth.

"Alice, Boris! Just in time! Look what I just caught!"

Both toons gaped, the bone falling out of Boris' mouth. The clatter of the bone was the only noise in the room.

"Why so quiet?" Bendy asked, his smile fading slightly.

Charity looked at Grace.

"Why're looking at me?" Grace whispered.

"Say something." Charity said through her teeth.

"Why me?"

"He'll listen to you..."

The red-dressed intruder interrupted the sister's conversation. "Someone put some sense in that kid's head and get me out of this net! I know kid's have tried to spot me before but this is ridiculous!" The man turned this way and that, trying to position himself.

"Uh... let me help you with that..." Henry carefully approached the net. "I-I don't know how strong that is..."

Just then the ceiling gave out. The parts of the ceiling that held the net broke off, causing the intruder to freefall with a giant CRASH! A huge wave of dust blanketed everything in the room, causing Henry and the others to cough and rub their eyes. If Henry turned around he would see that his wife was at the brink of fainting.

For a solid minute no one spoke, all eyes on the mess. Finally a weak moan came from the wreckage.

"I think I broke something." Santa Claus wheezed.

Authoress' note: These chapters will be very short, but my goal is to write a short one every night until Christmas. Will I keep that goal? Probably not. But it is the season of miracles. So who knows?

Anywho, make sure to follow, favorite, and review. Oh, and I also updated in my "Fandom Frenzy" story. If you like Grace, Orio and the rest of the OC gang, go check it out. It's a whacked cartoon crossover from Bendy to Betty to Cuphead to Disney, with hidden lore and a big mystery. Don't you want to know what goes on behind the scenes in the fandom realms? ;)
