Well, it's been a long journey, but here's the last and final chapter of Alagaesia's, and Arya's BEST Christmas Eve!!!
Last DRUMROLL!!!!!
Everyone spent the night outside, that night, staring at the lights and stars, symbolizing a Merry Christmas.
Brom and Sloane were serving chocolate candy cane cocoa to everyone, which was bubbling from a giant cauldron outside, Katrina was curled up in Roran's arms stargazing, Nasuada was sneaking hidden egg nog, the Carvahall residents and everyone else were exchanging Christmas stories, except Durza who was exchanging Halloween, (scary), stories, the Raz'ac were scoffing figgy pudding, (made specially for them), the dragons were having a late Christmas snack, Thorn frantically trying to get Saphira's attention, Shruikan laughing at him, and Arya and Eragon were together on the lawn talking about the days happenings.
"So how did you manage to find the dragons to help you?" Arya asked him.
"After I rang up the others to come over, I went outside and waited for Saphira (who I also rang), in the backyard, soon I heard her flying nearby, I called her, and together we searched for the other three, we found them in Du Weldenvarden, decorating their own home for Christmas, Shruikan having a spit roast with no meat, I said I'd give them rats if they helped me with this surprise, Glaedr as soon as he heard rats he agreed, so did Shruikan, who was very hungry, Thorn was a little reluctant, thinking what Murtagh would say, so I made Saphira act interested in him." Arya laughed. "Anyway," Eragon continued, "Using some of the things from the attic I made the sleigh, wrapped lights and bells around the dragons, then waited for twelve o' clock, hoping you were kept busy by your other surprises, that you weren't worried for me, I guess I was wrong?" Arya nodded, remembering Eragon's other 'surprises' which she thought had gone really askew, but she now understood them better. "So at ten, I had my own dinner with the dragons, and at eleven thirty I set off as Santa."
After hearing Eragon's story, and how his surprises were meant to turn out that day Arya said.
"Eragon, thank you so much for going to the trouble of making my day special, we have many great friends and family who I also thank too, this was the best Christmas Eve ever, I hope Christmas will be even better!"
"It will be, it will be," Eragon thought.
Suddenly Murtagh ran outside, breathing heavily from rush.
"HEY, HAVE YOU ALL FORGOTTEN, THE PRESENTS!" he shouted.
"PRESENTS!!!!!" Everyone responded.
"OH NO!" Arya whispered.
CRASH!
Arya screamed, Eragon was laughing next to her; they were riding on a sea of heads all rushing to the tree.
Are you all right little one! Saphira said
Never been better! Eragon answered.
As the ride came to a stop, the crowd threw Arya and Eragon off onto the couch, and began raiding the presents.
"That's-s-s my pres-s-s-ent!" said a Raz'ac.
"No it's mine!" said Twin one.
"Oh Murtagh you shouldn't have!" Galby said to Murtagh after opening his gift from him, which was a book labelled, "How to be Evil".
"Oh it was nothing," Murtagh said, "Hope you like it."
Eragon gave Arya a cute Christmas elf plush, "Oh it's adorable," Arya cooed.
Sloane, meanwhile had given everyone a few coins, Nasuada had received a years supply of egg nog, Evandar got a singing Santa, which he kept playing to annoy Islanzadi, and Arya had given everyone Christmas gift baskets.
"Katrina," Roran said, kneeling down in front of her holding out a diamond ring. "I know this has taken a very, extremely, utterly long tim…"
"You're blowing it Rory!" Hrothgar shouted. Everybody, except Sloane was now watching the pair in the middle of the room.
"Anyway, Katrina," Roran continued, "I tried this last time but you got away from me," he looked at the Raz'ac, "we've been through a lot togeth… OH WHAT THE HELL! KATRINA WILL YOU MARRY ME, AGAIN!"
Katrina pounced at him, knocking him down; she kissed him full on the lips.
"I will, RORAN!"
Cheers, whistles, whoops, and claps came from the crowd.
"WAY TO GO RORY!" Hrothgar shouted.
Eragon walked up and hugged his cousin, "Congratulations Roran, Katrina's a great gal, Murtagh and I wish you both the best of luck."
Roran looked at Murtagh who gave him thumbs up, Brom left then came back with more champagne bottles, which everyone,(except Sloane), used to drink to the new couple, and to Christmas.
HoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHo
After the present giving time was over, Arya cleaned up the wrapping paper with Eragon, together they left for a few minutes and came back, Arya holding a pretty log in her hands.
"What's with the log, Arya?" Nasuada asked.
"It's a Yule log," Arya answered, "Everyone touches it and makes a Christmas wish, at dawn we'll burn it, and hopefully our wishes will come true in the coming year!"
"Cool," Nasuada said, "Me first!"
Arya put the log on the table, Nasuada took a deep breath, thought for a while then touched the log, Trianna followed, then Roran, Katrina, Jeod, Murtagh, Galby, Brom, Ajihad, Sloane, the Raz'ac, the Twins, Angela, the werecats, Morzan, Selena, Islanzadi, Orik, the council, Hrothgar, the residents of Carvahall, Elva, King Orrin, Evandar, the dragons, (who somehow managed to fit in the palace), Arya, and lastly Eragon.
They all looked at their hands, which had made an uneven stack on the log.
"ONE, TWO, THREE!" Eragon counted; at three everyone removed their hands.
HoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHo
Later Arya replayed the movie and all the people gathered together with their presents on the lounge and watched the movie till they fell asleep.
HoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHo
Arya woke up, it was three in the morning, everyone was asleep, Eragon was leaning on her, he was in a deep sleep, she smiled and fell back to sleep herself, she slept till late morning, CHRISTMAS MORNING!
HoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHo
I know Roran already proposes to Katrina in Eldest, but I just wanted to add something like that in to make it maybe a little more romantic...
Well there you have it! The last chapter!!! In fact, this has been such a success; I'm might write what happens on Christmas day, so keep an eye out for that story!!! It will probably be called "Twas Christmas day in Alagaesia."
Anyway for now, bye from me, thanks everyone for your reviews, and remember... keep reviewing!!!!
