Epilogue

What would have taken months of intense treatment at the world best hospital only took a couple of hours for the famous elfin doctor Jerbal Argon. Juliet was up and bouncing around with the twins under the tree as they opened presents just minutes after Dr. Argon was done and was nearly 100 percent by the time the twins were put to bed. The three were currently sitting in the study sipping on some hot chocolate that Juliet made.

"Glad to see you looking so feisty Juliet!" Holly said as she hugged the young women across the shoulders. "You looked like death!"

Juliet gave a light laugh and smiled back.

"I felt like death. So Arty, what was with the whole Christmas in August thing anyway?" She asked, knowing that Artemis rarely did anything just because.

"Well, the twins and I were making up a story for bed time and Myles mentioned that he missed the Yule-tide feeling. I figured that if I was going to ask the People to come up here to look at you, I might as well ask them to bring a snow machine as well."

Holly and Juliet awed in unison.

"That was sweet of you Mud Boy! I like what being a big brother is doing to you!" Holly smiled.

"So what was this story about?" Juliet asked.

"I actually printed it out if you would like to read it." Artemis said and pulled a copy of the story off the printer and handed it to Juliet. Holly just took a long sip of her coco and tried hard to hide her grin. Juliet scanned it over quickly, then busted out laughing. At that, Holly could no longer contain herself as she too broke out into a fit of giggles.

"Really you two, I don't see what is so funny about it." Artemis said, somewhat dishearten.

"Well besides the castle of Play-Doh…"

"And the 'Oreo of Shooting Stars' "

"And Genies and Princes"

"And Goblins who try to steal Christmas…"

The two females began to laugh once more. Artemis gave out a huff, but then smiled.

"It is rather ridiculous isn't it?"

"It's more that ridiculous!" Holly poked. "It's just plan silly."

"Yeah, Artemis, please don't quit your day job to pursue this profession. You're no good at it." Juliet joked, but there was some truth to what she was saying.

"Don't fret dear friends. I realize that I'm much better at plotting and scheming than I am at telling children's stories."

"Good." The two girls said in unison again. There was a brief silence and then Juliet began to speak as if she was narrating a story.

"And then the all powerful Genie said 'To all a Merry Christmas and to all a Happy New Year.' Then she vanished in a puff of purple smoke. There, the end." She said, returning her voice to normal.

They all laughed, then toasted each other a Merry Christmas in August.
