Marmalade was walking with Nat, Mike, and Amber as the three wore much thicker clothes then yesterday. As the lone mini-lora shook like a leaf;

"Why didn't you layer today?" Amber asked.

"I—I didn't know it would be so cold." Marmalade said, Mike looked around and he smiled as he saw a shop.

"Hold on a minute!" He said as he ran into the shop; and meer seconds later he came back with a parka jacket. And some fuzzy winter boots, he slid the jacket onto Marmalade. And did the same with the new boots, the parka was white with leopard patterned fuzz on the sleeves, hood and bottom of the jacket. The boots matched the same war with extra fuzz at the top; Mike then pulled the hood over Marmalade's head. And the mini-lora smiled,

"Thanks! I feel a lot warmer! But ya didn't need to go and spend your money on me." She said. As Nat had an impressed grin while Amber frowned looking annoyed.

"Nonsense! I don't mind! Besides I've saved up so much of my allowance I could buy a car!" Mike said,

"Plus you can't celebrate Christmas if you have a cold!" Nat said. Marmalade suddenly looked as confused as a dog trying to get a long stick across a narrow bridge.

"What's Christmas?" She said, the three looked shocked but before they could exclaim in shock. Unfortulently another voice did;

"You don't know what Christmas is!?" Marmalade turned to see two girls; one had chestnut brown skin while the other was as pale as snow. The chestnut skinned one wore a thick winter dress. As it was pure white and had crimson red poppy flower designs all over it. A crimson red shimmering ribbon was tied around the waist. And fluff was on the bottom of the dress, along with the sleeves and neck.

Black tights we're stretched over her legs as her boots matched her dress. The girl had natural wavy black hair as she wore a classic Santa Claus hat. The snow white skinned girl wore something just as extravagant. Her dress was more like a gown as it was silver and had plump sugar plum designs on it. Sugar plum purple fluff was on the neck as the girl wore thick gloves and boots to match.

Her hair was blonde and was as bright as the summer sun. She wore silver glasses but weather it was needed or just an accessory Marmalade didn't know. Nat and Amber looked as if they were ready to kill while Mike hid behind the two.

"Um…yeah. But…..who are you?" Marmalade asked, the two girls gasped.

"You don't know who we are!? Well I'm Royal! And my wonderful, fantastic, and graceful best friend is non other that Pristine Diamond. And you should be licking her boots because she is the richest girl on this island! And I'm the second of course." Royal (the white skinned girl) said,

"Thank you Royal for your passible introduction as usual. But back to the topic at hand….how can you not know what Christmas is!? What does you Doc and all you other freaks live under a rock!?" Pristine said. Marmalade blushed,

"Doc ain't a freak! And neither are the rest of us!" She said. Royal just giggled,

"Yes you are. After all your hanging out with the bumpkin reject, the daughter of Satin himself, and widdle Mikey." She said. Amber snarled and flew up and hovered above the two,

"You two have three seconds to leave or else I'll beat you two into royal jam!" She said.

"Ha! As if now as I was saying….what kind of looser is that girl to not have celebrated Christmas. What? Did nobody love you enough to care?" Pristine said, and from that last sentence alone Marmalade started tearing up.

"Oh are you going to cry? Are you a baby? I doubt Doc even loves you after all your so ugly you make Amber look hot in comparison!" Royal said, Marmalade backed away just as Nat came forward.

"Leave her alone! Why don't you two go ruin somebody else's day?" He said, while Mike hugged Marmalade close.

"I bet Doc hates you! I bet he's just waiting for you to trust him enough then wham he'll leave you just like that!" Pristine said, as images of an overweight man with a cruel smirk flashed through Marmalade's head. And she tried to block out the insults but her defenses failed as she finally spoke.

"Why don't y'all leave me alone! I hate motherfucking brats like you! You don't deserve the money you have and it won't get ya anything you need! When you go to prom no one will like you enough to date you! When your on your death bed nobody will show up for your last breathes! And on your grave stone it will say "They lived and went straight to hell!" And no one in your family will care enough to change it!" Marmalade screamed, and Royal a long with Pristine frozen in disbelief. Amber had a shocked look on her face while Nat and Mike's jaws had dropped. While everyone on the street had the same mixture of looks as well; once Amber got over her shock. She fought back the urge to laugh at Royal and Pristine's faces; as she realized it was not the appropriate time. Amber them grabbed Mike, Nat, and Marmalade and flung them on her back.

As she flew somewhere where she knew they could celebrate the proper burning of Royal and Pristine.

Doc was in the kitchen as he was looking in the recipe book and getting Freddy to grab things he needed. While Springtrap was adding in the ingredients to help Doc make some soft and chewy gingerbread cookies.

"So what's this Christmas all about?" Freddy asked as he was smelling all the spices in the cabinet while handing Doc the one's he needed. But his expression softened as he spoke;

"Christmas is on the twenty-fifth of December. It was started when Jesus our lord and savior was born. And since then not only has it been celebrated by religions alike but by all people. It's the day where loved ones come together to be with each other. We hand eachother presents, sing carols, tell Christmas stories. It's really a great holiday. No other even comes close to matching it." Enard and Springtrap both felt warm and tingly inside just by the way Doc described the holiday.

"That sounds amazing." Springtrap said dreamily,

"Not even Pearl celebrated that with us." Freddy muttered. But Doc had overheard it anyway,

"Alright I'm sorry but I have to ask. Who is Pearl?" He said. Springtrap groaned while Freddy smacked his own forehead.

"She's nobody important Doc. And nobody that should ever be motioned." Springtrap said glaring at Freddy, who blushed and shrank away.

"She doesn't sound like a nobody. Can't you at least tell me?" He said; but he was only greeted with silence. Doc sighed as he bit back his lip to ask about their past.

Once the cookies we're done the three put them in the oven and waited in silence. But of course Springtrap got bored with waiting,

"Call me when the cookies are done." She said and she walked off to her room; once she was gone Freddy let out a sigh of relief.

"Look all you really need to know is that Pearl was that she was in our past. And she's long gone by now." He said; Doc seemed semi-satisfied with the answer.

"Okay…..but…..if you ever want to tell me anything….you can." He said, Freddy raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" He said in disbelief,

"Yes. I don't want to make you uncomfortable." He said. Freddy smiled as he visibly perked up, Doc took notice.

"Did you expect me to pry you open like a clam?" He said; Freddy shamefully nodded.

"Yeah another person from our past. I….have to admit your not like any of them. Your patient, calm, and I like on how your able to see right through people." He said, Doc smiled.

"Well I'm glad I'm winning a few of you over." He said just as the stove beeped;

"I'll go get Springtrap." Freddy said as he walked away with a content smile on his face. But once he got to Springtrap's room he knocked on the door. But no reply was heard, Freddy went to open the door but his conscience nagged him.

'A gentleman never intrudes on a lady.' Freddy shook the thought out of his head and very hesitantly opened the door. When he opened the door he looked around the room. Mentally noting to get Springtrap a proper mattress as he saw a sleeping back rolled up on the floor. Freddy bit his lip as he walked towards the bathroom; his cheeks flared as again his conscience nagged.

'A gentleman never interups a lady when she's powdering her nose.' Freddy tried to shake away those thoughts as he lightly knocked on the bathroom door. He waited for a moment and Springtrap came out as she looked to have been crying. Freddy immediately felt a stab a guilt, he knew what she had been crying about.

Springtrap had been crying about Pearl.
