The little bell tinkled as she stepped into the book store. Caitlyn loved this place. She'd always said that she would love to just live there. She was a true bookworm at heart, despite the technology she spent most of her time with.

She wandered in and out of the isles, and a few times, picked up a book and read its summary, forgetting what she was really here to do.

Hm. She had to find Jennifer… She looked around the store. There were a few employees scattered around, but they were all men.

She started to wonder just how she'd find this Jennifer woman when she heard a cheery voice coming from behind her, "Are you finding everything all right?"

Caitlyn whirled around to stare at a girl with a blonde ponytail and bright red lipstick smiling at her. She wore an employee nametag.

Hello, my name is Jennifer, the nametag read.

Jennifer!

"Uh…. Jennifer?" She looked into the girl's face. "I ate gummy worms for breakfast." She knew it sounded utterly ridiculous and for a moment Jennifer's face twisted in confusion, but suddenly she realized what it meant.

"Oh!" She said, her eyebrows shooting up into her bangs. "I know just what you need!"

Caitlyn followed her, trying to fight of the small giggle she felt rising up in her chest.

Jennifer led her to a long desk in the middle of the store and reached behind the counter. She pulled out a small bag of sour gummy worms with an envelope attached. Caitlyn smiled. Sour gummy worms were her favorite.

Jennifer handed it to Caitlyn and said in a low voice, "I'd ask you what this is for, but I have a feeling you have even less of an idea than I do."

Caitlyn shook her head and shrugged. Jennifer was right. "Thanks."

"No problem." She waved as Caitlyn walked away.

Caitlyn made her way over to the children's part of the book store and sat down on one of the cushy benches. She tore the envelope from the bag and hastily ripped it open.

Caitlyn,

Well done.

Enjoy those gummy worms.

Now, go to that little statue store across the street that is called- imagine this- Statues. There's a little fountain with no water in it up on the front desk. There's a small paper sign on it that says "Fountain- 60 dollars. 50 if you are wearing a hat." It's folded; open it up and you'll have yourself your next clue. Don't be afraid to just take it. I'm using it with permission, don't worry.

Hm, I should probably stop being so specific and just giving away the hiding places, shouldn't I?

Oh, well, we'll see what happens.

-Your Secret Admirer

Yeah, I decided to drop the Santa part. I'm no Santa, really.

Dang, this is short, eh? Sorry about that. I'm just getting started. I'll try for a longer chapter next time.
