"You're excited for the holidays, eh little thief?" Constantine asked Sneaker.
"Yep, as it's our first one here, you know?" Sneaker replied to him.
"Da, plus I have to do things, alright?" Constantibe replied.
It was the first day of December meaning Christmas was coming in a few weeks, but Constantine wanted to make the holidays special for Sneaker, as she was his little thief and he cared about her, seeing her get ready for school so would get a Christmas tree for their apartment, knowing Sneaker would love that seeing her leaving for school.
"Alright, time to go to get to work, get a tree for Sneaker." he said leaving the apartment after locking the door, going to the tree lot he'd heard Kermit talk about a lot, Pkus had brought an axe so he could cut a tree down not caring if it was illegal.
He grinned with glee, cutting the perfect tree down, leaving before the cops showed up, knowing Sneaker would be very impressed when she saw it later, or heard how he got it, chuckling as it was like heisting returning to the apartment carrying the tree hoping nobody would ask questions, if they'd seen him.
He knew that Sneaker would probably be making ornaments at school, or at thevstudio, despite Nadya sending some of the ornaments that Sneaker had made in the past when they'd been living in the gulag, making the master thief sigh because he did miss his friends back tnere, especially when it was Christmas Eve, where they would sing songs and tell stories.
He hoped that they were alright back there, as he needed to talk to them, remembering thevSkype thing Kermit had talked about.
Later that early afternoon when she and her cousins had gotten out of school, Sneaker was making ornaments like she used to back at gulag, which made her choked up, hiding it from her cousins unawsre that Jareth could sense her sadness, wondering if she was alright, hearing her say she was okay making the light blue scaled dragon boy unsure, wondering if she was alright because when their teacher had cast her as the Grinch for their part in the school holiday pageant, she was excited.
"Sorry if I feel a little sad, it's just I used to make ornaments, back at gulag this time of year." she confided.
"Aww I get it, but you're just home sick, or gulag sick but you should tell your dad." Jareth said.
"He might not be happy hearing that, as he likes being here, in America." Sneaker replied.
Her otjer cousins had overheard this and felt bad for her, as sure she was mischievous but very loyal deep down now they had gotten to know her along with becoming friends, hoping they could cheer her up, as they could tell when she was upset.
"Maybe we should make it snowy like Siberia, as that might help." Sora whispered.
"Yeah and I know how, Bunsen's snow machine, come on!" Jareth replied as they left.
They found the snow machine in the break room, taking it with them, turning it on so it would snow indoors, making the kids impressed, especially Sneaker when she saw, the place looked like Siberia hugging them, especially Jareth which made the other kids happy, because Sneaker was feeling better, despite the adults being surprised until Yoko heard Sneaker explain.
"I guess the spirit of the season is getting to her, which is good, but because she was feeling home sick, as I saw the ornament she made, plus I got like that earlier, after Nadya sent a lot of the holiday decorations, that Sneaker made when we celebrated the holidays back home." Constantine said making them get it.
