The winter had long since set in the human world and everywhere lights and decorations were shinning ready for Christmas.

The school had been decorated and everyone was ready for the Christmas holidays to start, Armin had been speaking to Alice about the new animal crossing game that he planned toget while Roselia still having issues deciding what to buy Castiel. Fredi was happily reading Lysander's poems that he had written and Quinny was sulking at the fact her family had banned her from going home…

"I mean what do they have against me?" Quinny asked Kentin while eating lunch

"How should I know? But they do sound strict for kicking you out just for not meeting their standards" Kentin replied after hearing all about her family excluding the part of them being demons of course.

Quinny had asked her family if she could go home for the holidays came back the same as her Cousins; that they had to stay as they were still grounded.

"Is there no one you can spend Christmas with?" Kentin asked

"Other than Alice, Fredi and Roselia?" Quinny thought hard until remembering her sister "I guess I could visit Mai"

Mai was Quinnys younger sibling; she was at Ariea Magica' a place where demons with festive powers went to work, Mai was a Santa reindeer and was easily able to shift from human/demon form to reindeer. Quinny thought about asking to visit after all Mai was always complaining about not having enough hands around Christmas.

After school Quinny got to work writing to Mai asking if they could go and visit her at her work place and help out. Everyone else had agreed as they wanted to see Mai again after a while.

"It's been a long time since we've seen her" Alice said remember that the last time they met Mai was 5 years ago before she went to Ariea Magica'. Unlike Quinny Mai had devolved her powers when she was 2 so her family was proud of her and she was the favourite of the family much to Quinnys dismay…

Within the next few days everyone had packed up and made their way to '-' Academy where Mai greeted them at the doors.

"Sis!" Mai called running over and hugging Quinny "How've you been? To really should message me more often." Mai pouted and quickly hugged everyone else and showed them inside "It's been super busy in the Christmas department... Someone forgot to order wood so we're pretty rushing this year to get everything done"

The academy was nothing like their school was the academy was very old fashioned with light ceilings which made the place seem even more impressive. The academy was split into dorms varying on what festival you worked with from Halloween and Christmas to Valentine's day and Day of the dead... Mai worked with the Christmas people and showed them to the large factory where you could see elves and snow people working on presents.

"This is the factory where we make everything from barbie dolls to bikes." Mai said proudly as Alice stared at the dolls that were being painted "I don't come in here too often as my job is to deliver the presents on the day! Which reminds me I have to get to flight training so you lot have a look around and try not to get in the way of us" Mai said realizing the time.

Alice decided to help out making dolls with Carrol Ribbon A Christmas elf which went pretty well and Alice being a doll helped Carrol Ribbon out a lot. Roselia found herself in the Easter area helping to decorate the Chocolate eggs with Pepe Yolk an Easter chick while Fredi helped with making snowflakes with Snow spirits.

"I'm guessing this is the Halloween area..." Quinny said looking around to see a number of cobwebs and ghost wandering the halls. "Hello, are you new?" A ghost asks coming over to talk

"Ah no, I am here because I am visiting my sister in the Christmas section." Quinny says hoping that she will be left alone to wander a bit.

"Well if you want you can come and hang out with us lot. Halloween is over so we can finally have a bit of a break. I'm Victoria Gold." Victoria led Quinny to a large gathering of all sorts of demons from witches to vampire to ghosts. "Hey everyone I brought a new friend to party with us!" she said cheerfully. All around they happily greeted Quinny they didn't even seem to care that she wasn't a demon yet and soon she felt welcome something she hadn't been for a long time in the demon world; up till this the only place Quinny ever felt welcome was back in the human world because it didn't matter but to her family being a demon was everything… Quinny was an outcast by her own family…

As the party continued one of the witch's came up to Quinny "Since your kinda' of the guest of honour wanna' add the last ingredient into good luck spell? We make it each year to wish luck to the other festivals!" She handed Quinny a vial full of star dust.

"I guess I can… but don't you need magic to finish a spell?" Quinny asked knowing a little about witches from her family.

"It'll be fine, after all witches have a foresight that no one else does" the witch winks and Quinny and shows her to the cauldron where everyone had gathered. Quinny walked up to the cauldron where she looked into the dark purple solution seeing her reflection in it. Quinny slowly added the star dust while thinking that it would be nice if others could accept her as she was just like all the demons here; and as the first drop of star dust hit the potion Quinny felt something surging in her and as she looked down a black shadow started to cover her.

The shadow swallowed her and in the darkness Quinny found a magic staff unsure on what to do Quinny take it up by both hands, soon chanting starts from within the darkness and Quinny hears the voices but who voices she heard well that is unknown to everyone but her own kind and soon she is pulled from the darkness to hear a set of cheering around her.

All the Halloween students cheer and Quinny who now felt different with magic running though her veins, Quinny had become a witch and with that her demon powers had finally awakened after all these years.

"See I told you it would be okay" The witch said to herself before going up to Quinny and hugging her.

Later

"…" Alice was speechless when Quinny return to everyone

"See I told ya I would get my powers, Beat that Magic council" Quinny said boasting

"Yes but you still have a lot to learn; late starter" Fredi joked happily

Mai was unhappy that she wasn't there to see it but was happy for Quinny "Hey you should all stay for the Winter Prom tomorrow!" Mai suggested and everyone agreed.

And with that everything was fine for the Cookie Family!

Meanwhile in the demon world a search had started for the next heir as the ruler had died…

I had to rush this so much! I kept putting it off and off until it was Christmas eve and I was panicing! But to be fair college is really tiring me out so I have been able to be creative with my writing latey.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
