AN: OK, so I kind of lied. I know, I know, I said I'd do everything in poems. But this is way more fun! There will be a couple of poems, but for now I'm changing up the styles a bit. Not just straight prose, either. This one's a letter, actually!
Disclaimer: Not. Mine. But I kind of wish Amelia was. Actually, I have a sneaky suspicion that she's my sister's best friend's little sister. But maybe not.
On the Second Day of Advent
Dear Santa,
I'm really sorry if I woke you up in April. It's December now, so I hope you're up and about anyway
now. Thank you for sending me some help. The crack's all gone now, and the voices. Aunt Sharon
says she's glad I'm out of my phase, but would I please not go straight into another one. I think she
means my drawings. I've put one in for you, it's not very good but hopefully you'll recognise him.
I didn't know what to ask for this year. I don't really need any more toys, and anyway Rory's told me
that it's really our parents who get those kinds of presents. Or I guess Aunt Sharon gets mine. Well
that's why she wanted to read my letter I suppose. Don't worry, I'm not upset. I know you're there
anyway. I believe in you because you sent me the raggedy man, and he was better than the dolls and
the pencils. And anyway I don't mind if Aunt Sharon gets me presents, so long as it's not stupid
things.
But actually, Santa, there's someone who hasn't even got an Aunt. I know you know him, so could you please,
please make sure he gets something this Christmas? It doesn't even have to be anything big. Just
make sure he's not lonely. I'm sure Aunt Sharon won't mind if we have one
more person for Christmas Dinner, and anyway we have a lot of spare rooms he can pick from.
Love from
Amelia Pond
PS: But anyway I think Rory was lying. So if you DO still bring normal presents, please, then I'd like a puppy, a doll's house and The Worst Witch All At Sea. And a time machine. Thank you Santa! :-)
AN: Poor little Amelia. The girl who waited. I'm tempted to come back to her, as well. If you have a craving to see a particular pairing or situation in a festive little vignette, do let me know. I'd love to hear some ideas!
