Mallory was walking around and admiring all the Christmas decorations that adorned the walls, as she tried to take her mind that the fact that she might be trapped in this strange world. She thought of how she would miss everyone in her family, including Alex. She had to admit that she did look up to her big brother, and that she did often turn to him for support. Still, he could sometimes be so down on her for her interests and hobbies. Just then, she was approached by a tall boy with blue skin and red hair.
"Hello," the boy said, huskily. 'Are you new here? My name's Robert Thomas."
"Hello, Robert," Mallory said, smiling. 'It's nice to meet you. Yeah, I guess I'm pretty new around here. My name's Mallory Keaton. I was admiring these pretty Christmas decorations. The pizza and juice is delicious, too. Everything here is so awesome!"
"I'm so glad you're really enjoying yourself, Mallory," Robert said, smiling, as put his hands on Mallory's shoulders. "I was wondering if you would like to dance with me. I think you're a very sexy girl. Is Santa bringing you anything for Christmas?"
"Well, Robert," Mallory purred, "I would like some new cassettes for Christmas. I love rock music a lot. Can you believe that my brother doesn't like rock music? I don't understand how anyone can not like rock music. The music is so pumping!"
"Different people have different tastes," Robert said, gently. "Can you imagine how boring the world would be, if we all liked the same things? Variety's the spice of life. My twin brother, Jimmy, and I are very close - but we don't agree on everything all the time. Like, for instance, I prefer football - while he prefers hockey."
"I see," Mallory said, smiling. "So what's it like having a twin? I sometimes wish I had a twin, you know. My brother, Alex, is two years older than me - and we don't always get along. He can sometimes be so arrogant about his intelligence, which bugs me."
"Yeah, I can imagine it would be annoying," Robert said, sympathetically. "Actually, Jimmy and I don't really look alike - but we're usually pretty close friends."
"In all fairness, though," Mallory said, sighing, "he does have a big heart. Still, I do worry that he may be too obsessed with money. Can you imagine how he has big dreams to work at Wall Street someday. Also, his favourite show to watch on TV is Wall Street Week, believe it or not. I guess I shouldn't be so critical of him - but I sometimes wonder if we're even from the same planet, let alone from the same family. All things considered, I will always love him. Blood is thicker than water."
"You know," Robert said, laughing, "I sometimes feel that way about my own family. I don't always understand them, either - but I guess it's a part of life. At any rate, it's like what I said before. Variety's the spice of life - and we all have our quirks."
"What are your plans for Christmas?" Mallory asked, changing the subject. "Do you and your family have special plans? What's your favourite part about the season?"
"I think I'd say spending time with the family," replied Robert. "I also like looking at all the pretty Christmas decorations - and, of course, the presents are nice, too."
"Yeah, I think we all like to receive presents," Mallory said, laughing. "I have to say that I like the family togetherness the most, though. It's the nice warm feeling."
"I dunno about you," Robert said, huskily, "but our home always smells really nice on Christmas Day. There's nothing quite like the smell of cinnamon and spice, y'know."
Mallory smiled, as she could relate. She then began to worry if she would ever make it back home again. She then realized there were many worse places she could be.
oooooooooo
Linda began to wonder if she maybe was a bit hard on her brother. Was it really that big of a deal if her brother was buddies with her boyfriend? After all, it was probably better than if they were enemies and disliked each other. As nice as this place was, she began to miss her friends and family back home. After all, where was she going to stay? Just then, she saw a tall boy with green skin and red hair approach her.
"Are you new around here?" the boy asked, huskily. "My name's Jimmy Thomas, and I was just wondering if you wanted to dance with me. Are you enjoying yourself?"
"Hello, Jimmy," Linda purred, as she realized the boy was so cute. "My name's Linda McFly - and, yeah, I'm pretty new around here. Y'know, the food and music is really nice - and the decoratiions are so pretty. Are you looking forward for tomorrow?"
"Oh, most definitely!" gushed Jimmy. "It's the one time of year I get up early. It's so nice being able to get together with the family, and the food is really scrumptious! It is my absolute favourite holiday of all time! I wish it can be Christmas all the time!"
"Well, if it was Christmas all the time," Linda said, smiling, "then Christmas wouldn't be very special, would it? Yeah, I really do enjoy getting together with the family for Christmas. My mother makes very delicious fruit soup. It's really my favourite!"
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" asked Jimmy, softly. "I have a twin brother named Robert, and I have a younger sister named Rose. I would say I get along with them most of the time. We tend to have our disagreements at times, though."
"I actually have two brothers," replied Linda. "I have an older brother named Dave, and I have a younger brother named Marty. I guess we get along more often than not, but they do sometimes irritate me. Deep down inside, though, I love them."
"Well, you know how the old adage goes," Jimmy said, huskily. "Blood is thicker than water. Sometimes our siblings may do things that really irritate us - but, deep down inside, we'll always love them. Anyway, it's really important to value your family."
"Yeah, you're right," Linda purred, as she rested her head on Jimmy's shoulder. She then felt a pang of guilt, as she realized she may be cheating on Kevin. At any rate, she had gotten mad at Marty for being buddies with Kevin. Just then, she began to wonder if she would ever see Kevin again. She still wasn't sure how she got here, or if she would ever go home again. Maybe this was just a dream, and she would soon wake up and find herself back in her bedroom. She tried to relax and enjoy herself.
"Are you feeling all right, Linda?" Jimmy asked, with concern. "Let's see if they have some ice cream, shall we? I'm sure in the mood for something nice and creamy."
"That's a good idea," agreed Linda. "I wonder if they have chip and mint ice cream. It's my favourite flavour. I could really eat a heaping bowl of it, it's so good."
"I prefer chocolate chip cookie dough," replied Jimmy. "I also like eating plain cookie dough, too. I must say I like them better than the actual cookies. I could really eat lots of dough. Well, anyway, let's go check out all the ice cream flavours."
"Gee, now you're making me so hungry," purred Linda. "We might as well go, now."
