The next day, in Wasteland, Ortensia had finished packing and was heading to her new home with Oswald and her half-brother-in-law. She couldn't wait.
Melody was at the park that same day. Christmas Eve in the afternoon was full of hassle at all the stores she went to. So, she went for a walk by herself at the park. Considering she was 16 years old, she could do anything alone now. She was just walking, with her hands in her hands in her coat pockets when she heard a guitar being played by the lake. She followed the sound and saw her high school crush and best friend Mason Rat sitting on a rock, and playing her favorite Christmas song of all time.
He tried to sing the song, but he was massacring the entire song. Melody giggled and walked closer as she heard him stop and sigh. "Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright…" Mason looked at Melody and was shocked at her voice.
"Well, come on…play the song!" She yelled as she sat on the next rock beside him, ready to sing.
Mason began playing the song again and Melody; began to sing.
MELODY: "Silent Night, Holy Night, all is calm, all is bright, round yon virgin mother and child, holy infant so tender and mild, sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace."
Mason continued to play the song as Melody sang the second verse.
MELODY: "Silent Night, Holy Night, son of God, love's pure light, radiant beams from thy holy face, with the dawn of redeeming Grace, Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born…"
Mason stopped playing for that was all he knew and Melody's voice was growing weak from the cold. But, everyone who stopped to listen clapped for them and then continued to do what they were doing.
"Wow, you just saved me from embarrassment, Mel!" Mason said to Melody, making her blush a little.
"Oh, it was nothing." She said in return, with a little giggle afterwards.
"You have a beautiful voice."
"Th-thanks…"
Just when they thought they were alone still, and were about to walk away from each other, they heard giggling from behind Melody. Melody looked over and saw her 2 best friends Rachel Duck and Ebony Cat, and Rachel was holding a stick over the mouse and rat, giggling. Melody looked up and saw the mistletoe above them and blushed.
"Rachel, Ebony!" She yelled. Mason just chuckled a hearty chuckle like Mickey. "I'm sorry, they are always trying…" She began to say as she looked back at Mason, when he just kissed her on the lips making her close her eyes and kiss him back. Rachel and Ebony smiled excited as Rachel pulled the mistletoe away from them, but stayed.
When Melody and Mason pulled away, Melody's eyes were sparkling as she smiled. Mason smiled too, for he felt the same way.
"Did you feel…?" Melody began to ask.
"You bet I did." Mason replied back kisses her cheek afterwards.
"AW!" Rachel and Ebony sighed.
Melody and Mason just chuckled at their friends as their foreheads touched.
"Um…excuse me…?" A voice said. Melody looked over and saw someone she was hoping to see home.
"Auntie Ortensia!" She yelled getting up and hugging her.
"Oh, my, goodness…hello Melody…!" Ortensia said, hugging her back.
Melody pulled away and said, excited: "Uncle Oswald has been a wreck ever since he got here! He's been slumped on the couch at my house, just being quiet." Ortensia started feeling terrible. If only she could have called him before she left Wasteland.
"Oh, my poor Bunny…I should…" Ortensia began when: "NO! I have a better idea…" Melody said, with her idea smile painted on her face.
