Jingles turned around to see a frighten Snowflake. He chuckled in relieve, for a second he thought it was Mother and if she saw the drawing Jingles would be sent away for sure. "It's the snowman I dreamt about." he replied.

Snowflake got a worried look on his face "So this is the thing we're looking for?"

"Ya, why?" Jingles asked nonchalantly.

Snowflake gulped "Are you sure it's safe?"

"For us, no," Jingles realized that this wan't helping him "but if we do it, all of Christmas Town will be safe."

Snowflake looked like he was thinking and then he sighed "Alright, what do you wanna do?"

Jingles thought and thought, but couldn't think of what else to do "I don't know? Take a walk, I guess?" Jingles folded up his drawing and put it in his pocket.

Snowflake shrugged his shoulders and walked out the door with Jingles. The two walked to the park, which is only a short stroll down the road and is located in the middle of the town. To one side was a merry-go-round with animals spinning around. On the other side was a group a kids having a snowball fight. Next to them was an elf sliding down a hill on his snowboard. And in the middle, standing on ice was the Christmas Town Tree. The biggest Christmas tree that ever existed.

"Wanna go ice skating?" asked Jingles.

"No," Snowflake shook his head "The penguins are hogging the pond. How about a snowball fight, with those elves?"

Jingles looked at the elf children having a snowball fight and frowned "We can't just bud-in on their game." then Jingles turned around to see the merry-go-round "Look, no one's on that!"

Snowflake smiled at him and the two brothers ran to the merry-go-round, located on the other side of the park. As they ran they began to smell something sweet and mouthwatering. Next to the merry-go-round was a bakery and then something told Jingles to look up. Above the bakery was some garland and on it was an umbrella. A umbrella with a candy-cane handle Jingles remember the umbrella that Jolly was missing. It fit the description, a candy-cane handle with green fabric.

"Snowflake, look!" Jingles pointed to the umbrella, "It's the umbrella Jolly was talking about."

Snowflake looked up "What's it doing up there?"

Jingles thought "I don't know."

"Hmm," Snowflake hummed "I think the snowman left it there."

"I think so too." Jingles agreed.

"Lets go inside and get it." Snowflake then hurried over to the bakery.

Jingles followed him inside and as soon as he walked in there was a burst of delightful smells. He could smell blueberry pie in the oven and the icing that layered the cakes. All around him were cakes on display showing off their strange shape and wonderful design. Breads of all kinds filled shelves, pies occupied the front window display and doughnut boxes sat happily at the counter.

"Jingles?" asked Snowflake "Do you think we can get some pie for dinner?"

Jingles nodded smiling "Sure, lets get an apple pie for Mother."

Jingles pointed to the stairs to remind Snowflake what they were there for. Snowflake nodded his head showing that he understood, then they darted up the stairs to the second-story. Jingles looked around and found an open window, and just outside was the umbrella hanging on the garland.

Jingles turned to Snowflake "You get the pie, I'll get the umbrella, ok?"

Snowflake nodded and the two were off.

Jingles crawled under the display case that sat in front of the window. Slowly and carefully Jingles moved the display away from the window. The pies and cakes began to shake, and as Jingles so delicately to move it, it only made one squeak. Jingles wiggled out of the crack that was now between the window and display. He lifted himself up on to the window sill. Jingles tried to reach for the umbrella, but he hand came nowhere close to it. Without thinking Jingles stood up. He reached out his hand and was so close, just one more inch he leaned forward. "Ah-ha!" he exclaimed, but then Jingles quickly lost his footing and was dangling in the air.

Jingles held on, but was frantic. I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! Quick! Snowflake! Help me! Jingles wanted to scream, but he was too scared to say a word. He couldn't think of anything, he was slipping and nothing came to mind. Jingles hung there, hyperventilating and between quick breathes he yelled to the top of his lungs "Help me! Help!" though it wan't very loud

Suddenly Snowflake appeared at the window yelled "What are you doing!"

Jingles couldn't think "Help! Just help me!"

"Ok, ok" Snowflake said in a panic "Just swing this way!"

"What!"

"Trust me!" he said "Just swing into the window!"

"How!?"

Snowflake growled "Just do it!"

Jingles kicked his legs and he started to swing.

"Put you're back into it!" yelled Snowflake.

Then Jingles used all of his body to swing. When Jingles looked up he saw that the umbrella was going to fall off of the garland. One swing he thought. Then Jingles closed his eyes and held his breath. With one big swing he was flying threw the air, into the window and with a bang he landed on the floor of the bakery.

"Are you ok?" asked Snowflake.

"Huh?" he groaned. Jingles looked down and saw that he was still holding the umbrella. He smiled weakly "I got the umbrella."

Snowflake repeated "Are you ok?"

"Ya," Jingles finally responded "I hurt a little, just could you move the display case back to the window?"

Snowflake sighed and said "Sure, just stay there."

"Oh and Snowflake!" Jingles called to his brother.

"What?" he turned.

"Be very quiet, ok?"

Snowflake nodded his head "Kay." He scooted the display back, making no sound at all.

Jingles then got up and they both walked down the stairs. The fall didn't do much to Jingles, other than bruised arm and knock the wind out of him, he was fine. As they walked to the door Jingles looked down and realized he was still clutching the umbrella in his hands.

"Where to next?" Snowflake asked.

Jingles smiled "Where going to return this umbrella."

Then without remembering the apple pie, the two left the store. They ran as fast as the could to the other side of town, all the way to the Van Snow's Christmas Tree Store. In the front of the store was a new snowman Jolly had made, this one was lacking the umbrella.

Jingles paused by the door to catch his breath "I'm still sore from the fall." he was breathing heavy "Hold on."

"Fine," Snowflake said "I'm gonna tell him that we found his umbrella." with that he dashed inside.

Jingles got up and walked in. Snowflake was at the counter talking to Jolly.

Then Jolly smiled excitedly and looked at Jingles "Come here, come here." he said.

Jingles walked to the counter and handed him the umbrella.

Jolly looked at in and smiled again "Thank you so much. Where did you find it?"

"It was by Elfie's Bakery." Jingles answered.

Jolly grinned and repeated "Thank you." Then he lean closer to us and said "I'm not the only one losing things."

"Ya," said Snowflake "Our father said that he lost his snow globe."

"No." Jolly shook his head and said in a whisper "The stuff is lost because it's been stolen."

"Stolen?" Jingles said, that was worse than lying "What was stolen?"

"Well it's mainly presents, stockings and they even say the 'C' in the Christmas Town sign is missing! I hear the Angel family has it the worst! All of their presents stolen! Their tree, gone! Christmas decorations and books all gone!"

"Oh no." Snowflake was sad and worried.

"That's not it!" he said "I hear that one of Santa's reindeer harnesses are gone too!"

"How could someone do that?" Jingles gasped.

Snowflake shook his head "Who has arms that big? I mean, that's a lot of stuff!"

Then Jingles got an idea "I think I know."

"Well then spit it out." Jolly said eagerly.

"I don't know it's name," Jingles was thinking, could he trust Jolly? After thinking about it, Jolly was just as wound-up in all of this as he was, plus, Jolly was interested. "but" Jingles continued "I think it's been causing all of our problems."

"Well," said Jolly "What does it look like?"

Jingles pulled out his drawing of the snowman and Jolly gave out a small scream. He put the drawing on the counter "I think it's a snowman," said Jingles "I know it's been seen around town, but I don't think it lives in Christmas Town."

"Well how are we going to find him?" Jolly looked at the drawing and shuttered. Quickly he flipped the page over.

"Well," Snowflake rubbed his chin "If you're right Jingles, then it'll be back."

"When?" Jolly asked.

Jingles thought about his dream and then gasped "Christmas Eve!"
