A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for all the lovely reviews! You guys totally made my day! Anyway, for you, I will add a new chapter as soon as I can And this time, I'll try and make it much longer! Oh, by the way, if you read the story before I edited it because of my boneheaded mistake (Thanks for catching that!), I'm so sorry. I completely forgot that Ahamo was FROM the Other Side. So I changed it to Ambrose. Just a little note:)
Disclaimer: I don't own the tin man, unfortunately
Chapter II
As night fell, the light in DG's room slowly faded until she only had a sliver of light left, before she would have to turn on her bedside lamp. It had been a few days since she had last picked up her notebook, a few days since she had last seen her Christmas list.
Earlier that day
DG walked slowly up to her mother and Ambrose, who were engaged in a lively conversation. She had desperately wanted to ask them a question, yet now she was slightly nervous. She couldn't for the life of her figure out why.
When The Queen and Ambrose looked up from their conversation, their eyes alighted on DG, nervously fidgeting with her necklace.
"Yes, darling?" her mother asked, sensing the question abut to be asked.
"Um, well, you see, since its now winter, I was wondering if maybe I could, well, um, put up a tree in my room?" DG asked, very fast. The Queen and Ambrose looked at each other, confused.
"Why in heavens name would you do that?" The Queen asked lightly. It wasn't as if she was accusing her daughter of being, well, slightly off her rocker, just a simple question.
"Um, well, on the Other Side, there is a holiday that falls at the end of December, which I'm guessing is about a few weeks away, maybe. Its called Christmas, and you put up a tree and spend time with family and write out Christmas lists of thing you would love to have…" she stopped, suddenly thinking of her own Christmas list, sitting next to her bed in the little notebook.
Ambrose and the Queen looked at each other as if to say, "Why not? It could be fun." Then they turned back to DG.
"Do as you wish darling." Her mother said evenly.
DG's face lit up in a bright smile.
"Thank you!" she laughed, hugging them both. Then she raced back up to her room, stopping on the way to see if someone might be kind enough to go out and look for the perfect tree with her. And who better to look for the perfect tree than her (and our) favorite Tin Man, Cain?
A/N: Ok, so I wrote you a longer chapter! Not much longer, I admit, but I still hope you like it! Anyway, I really hope to have the next chapter up by tomorrow, but stupid finals are getting in the way of precious fanfic time! I promise I'll get it up by at Thursday eve at the latest.
