There was a glowing white light from the snow globe's snow as an adventure was set for the three girls. They appeared to be in Victorian London. And where they appeared in the back of a theater, wearing the clothes they were going to wear to the ball. They heard some singing. The three girls and Teddiursa poked their heads out to see a beautiful older girl in a garland green dress with hints of gold and white opera gloves singing O Christmas Tree in front of an audience.

"Wow, she's amazing." Jenny smiled.

"Maybe someday, that'll be you." Estelle smiled back.

"Oh, no, I couldn't sing in front of a crowd like that..." Jenny shook her head.

"Why not?" Felicity asked.

"I don't think I'd be very good..." Jenny rubbed her arm. "Singing in front of friends is different."

"Well, then imagine you would only be singing in front of your friends." Estelle said.

"I don't know..." Jenny shrugged.

"You remember Yuko Takahashi, don't you?" Felicity replied. "She's your age and she plays violin in Carnegie Hall, think about how she probably felt when she first preformed in front of a crowd."

"Well, okay." Jenny said.

"Give it a try someday." Estelle encouraged.

The audience cheered for the singer as she smiled to them and bowed after she finished her song.

"She seems nice." Felicity smiled.

"Eden Starling was the most famous singing star in Victorian England," Barbie narrated. " She was beautiful, talented, and incredibly full of herself."

"I hate Christmas!" the blonde young woman growled as soon as the show ended and she stormed off backstage, showing she was not as nice as she looked while singing the song.

"I take back of what I said." Felicity said.

"Singing those insipid little carols every year..." Eden started as her cat hopped off of the piano until she saw the three little girls. "And who left these brats here?!"

"Quick, think of something." Felicity whispered to Estelle.

"Uhh..." Estelle felt a lot of pressure now.

"GET OUT!" Eden snapped at them like they were useless to her.

"Wait, um, we are sent from a very important person to be your assistances and where we can do anything for you." Estelle said.

"Really?" Eden asked.

"Yes." Jenny and Felicity quickly agreed.

The cat glanced at them and even to Teddy. Teddy gave a small growl.

"And as for your bear cub?" Eden asked.

"He's mine," Estelle hugged her Teddiursa. "He won't hurt you..." she then whispered under her breath. "Unless you keep up that diva attitude of yours."

"What was that?" Eden asked.

"Oh, nothing, ma'am." Estelle smiled nervously.

"Alright, alright, you girls can stay with me." Eden said.

"Phew!" the three girls wiped their foreheads in relief.

"Best behavior then, Chuzzlewit." Eden then told her cat.

Chuzzlewit simply meowed, not making any promises.

"Where's my tea and crumpets?" Eden then demanded.

"Erm.. Tea and crumpets?" Felicity asked.

"There's supposed to be a tray of tea and crumpets right here!" Eden glared. "And where's Catherine? Catherine? Catherine! CATHERINE!"

"Um, I think I saw her with the other performers." Jenny said.

Eden huffed and then went to find Catherine.

"Starling... Do you suppose she could be related to Patch's old friend Robyn?" Estelle spoke up to Jenny and Felicity.

"Good thinking, but it'll be hard to know since this is Victorian London and Robyn was born during the 21st century." Felicity replied with a small shrug.

"We'll have to find out later." Jenny said.


"Deck the halls with boughs of holly~" a brunette woman sang as she decorated a room in the theater with a group.

"Is the brunette woman Catherine?" Felicity asked.

"I think she might be," Estelle replied. "Unless it's one of those twin women."

"I think this is Catherine." Jenny assumed.

Teddy soon went out and looked around for Catherine.

"'Tis the season to be jolly~" Two men sang.

"Fa la la la la la la la la, Don we now our gay apparel~" three women sang.

Teddy continued to look around until he looked up at a black woman. Unlike Eden, these folks seemed more cheerful about the Christmas season and were more honest and sincere about it. Teddy and the girls seemed to be happy to know that these people were sincere. It filled them up with the warmth and good holiday cheer that Christmas had to offer.

"Freddy..." one twin woman started.

"So..." the other twin woman added.

"When are you-" the first twin woman started.

"To ask her?" the second twin woman then finished which made the mentioned man nearly fall off the ladder.

"WHOA!" Felicity yelped and ran as fast as she could to save the man from a nasty fall, she may not had been as fast as Akito, but she was fast for her age.

"She's fast." Jenny said.

"I don't think I've seen her do that before." Estelle agreed.

"Whoa! Oh! Umm... Thank you." the man named Freddy said to Felicity.

Felicity smiled back and helped the man to his feet. "That could have been a nasty fall." She said.

Freddy stood up and smiled to her. "Um... Anyway, Ann, Nan, ask who?" he then asked the twin women as he remembered what they had asked him.

"Come now, Freddy," the other man smiled to the younger man. "We all know you want to ask Catherine out on a date."

"I think we should give this guy a little push to help him ask Catherine." Felicity whispered to Estelle and Jenny.

"This fellow reminds me of Bill with Rachel Peabody." Estelle commented.

Felicity and Estelle giggled to that.

"Well, I'm game." Jenny agreed to helping.

Teddy was even going to help. Estelle smiled to her Teddiursa.

Catherine giggled to Freddy's clumsiness, but wasn't meanly laughing at him, just amused. "Who are you children anyway?" she then asked the three girls.

"We're the assistances of Eden Starling." Estelle said with a curtsy.

"Jenny Foxworth, Felicity Forte, and Estelle Fudo." Jenny introduced them with a smile.

"And this is Teddy." Felicity then concluded which made Teddy wave friendly.

"What wonderful names you all have, and what an interesting pet you have," Catherine replied. "A bear cub."

"Thank you." Estelle said.

Jenny and Felicity also smiled. Teddy giggled as he felt flattered.

"Oh, by the way, Catherine was it?" Estelle asked the black woman.

"Why yes, that's me," the woman replied. "Catherine Beadnell."

"It's nice to meet you and I should let you know that Eden informed me and the girls and Teddy that there were supposed to be some tea and crumpets backstage." Estelle said.

"Oh, my!" Catherine gasped. "I completely forgot."

"Oh, but I'm sure the stagehands can bring her the tea and crumpets; as long as they don't go overboard with the butter." Jenny said.

"You are so helpful, children, thank you." Catherine replied.

Eden was on her way inside with her cat as she was impatient with her tea and crumpets.

"Anyway, Freddy has something to ask you." Felicity said to Catherine.

"Does he?" Catherine replied.

"Catherine!" Eden called sharply.

"Hello, Eden, hello, Chuzzie." Catherine greeted.

"Looks like he'll have to ask her out later." Estelle whispered.


"It's 'Chuzzlewit'," Eden firmly corrected Catherine. "You know he hates Chuzzie."

Chuzzlewit poshly mewed in response.

"And have you seen these?" Eden then asked as she showed her crumpets to Catherine.

"Oh, you found your crumpets; I was hoping the stagehands would get them to you." Catherine smiled.

"Well, they didn't. I had to ask them. I had to talk to a stagehand," Eden complained. "And look, they put on too much butter."

Estelle, Felicity, Jenny, and Teddy firmly frowned as they did not like Eden's behavior and attitude one bit. What a damper on the Christmas spirit.

"Looks like Jenny was right about too much butter." Catherine said.

"It's pooling, pooling, Catherine," Eden glared. "That's why it's your job to be there with my crumpets, so they get just enough butter, and-"

Catherine cut her off with slight laughter. "Excuse me? My job is Gad's Hill Theater costume designer, not crumpet butteriser," she then said. "I do that for you because you're my friend."

"But still look at them, they're pooling." Eden reminded her.

"Eden, I know you feel better when I'm there to watch you perform, but I couldn't tonight," Catherine sighed. "Don't worry. I know you were brilliant as always!"

"I don't need you to tell me I was brilliant, I know I was brilliant," Eden snapped. "But as a costume designer, I thought you might want to do your job, and see the dress you made onstage."

Teddy growled as he walked toward Eden until Estelle held him back.

"No, Teddy, no attacking, besides, it's almost Christmas." Estelle whispered.

Teddy then sighed as he felt in defeat, but he did what was asked of him.

"Look around you, Eden, look at the tree, it's Christmas Eve!" Catherine reminded. "We wanted to celebrate a little before we all go off on holiday."

"Holiday?" Eden replied. "Who said anything about a holiday?"

"You're kidding, right?" Jenny asked.

"Miss Starling, it's Christmas," Felicity spoke up. "The time for joy and good cheer, the time to be with family, it's the most magical time of the year."

"I'm aware it's Christmas, which means there's only two weeks before you all get to be apart of Eden Starling's new show." Eden said.

The girls looked to each other and then back to Eden.

"You three should be begging to be in the show," Eden replied to them. "Especially your little Cubby."

"Teddy!" the three girls glared.

"Whatever." Eden said.


"No. No, no, no, no, no, c'est impossible," Maurice protested about working on Christmas. "This is an outrage!"

"Eden..." Ann started.

"We can't work on Christmas!" Nan added.

"We have people coming over!"

"There's a turkey to stuff..."

"And pies to bake!"

"Oh, we can't be here!"

"Oh, Ms. Starling, please don't make everyone here work on Christmas." Estelle begged.

"Eden, please reconsider," Freddy even begged. "I beg of you." he then made a dove come out of his hat.

Chuzzlewit then saw the bird and looked hungry before chasing after the bird. Teddy soon went after Chuzzlewit to stop him. The dove then flew away out of the fat cat's reach. Chuzzlewit mewed in disappointment, then hissed at Teddy.

"You don't scare me." Teddy glared.

Chuzzlewit simply huffed and walked away from him. Teddy then smirked to himself.

"He's really come out of his shell." Felicity smiled proudly to Estelle.

"He sure has." Estelle smiled proudly back.

Teddy smiled up to them. Eden rolled her eyes and left while slamming the door as she was insistent on making them work on Christmas. Maurice soon started to say something in French towards Catherine. Estelle and Jenny looked to Felicity for a translation.

"He is very mad and thinks Catherine should talk with Eden." Felicity told them.

"Well, she is her best friend and we know that Eden doesn't make a move without a word from Catherine." Freddy said.

"Eden's known Catherine forever." Ann agreed.

"She listens to her." Nan added.

"So will you talk some sense into her, Catherine?" Estelle asked.

"All right... Keep your Christmas plans." Catherine agreed then and she then went off to find Eden.

"Should we go with her to make sure this doesn't backfire?" Teddy whispered to Estelle.

Estelle nodded in agreement, then looked to her cousin and good friend. "We'll be right back."

"No way, we should go with you," Jenny replied. "Ever since we all became friends, I feel like this is very important."

The girls and Teddy soon went in with Catherine.
