Later on, Young Catherine had announced to everyone that it was time for a show.
"Ooh, a show." Jenny smiled.
"Oh, it's not like it's a real show," Eden told them. "It's just a little thing we did every year."
"Come here, Teddy, I'll carry you." Estelle picked up her Teddiursa over her shoulders so he could see.
Young Eden and Young Catherine came in wearing beautiful Christmas dresses while their two Pokemon came in, wearing dresses just their sizes.
"Oh, those dresses are stunning!" a woman beamed.
"Yes, they are." Jenny agreed, even if the woman wouldn't hear or see her.
"I know," Mrs. Beadnell told her friend. "She's been working on them since June, and Eden's been planning the arrangement and choreography just as long. I just hope the Pokemon memorized the steps as well."
"Just a little thing, huh?" Estelle smirked at Eden.
Christmas Past giggled.
"Fine, so, it was a big thing," Eden then said out of defeat. "But it's still just kids' stuff... No offense." she then said to Felicity, Jenny, and Estelle since they were little girls.
"None taken." The three little girls said.
"Here we go." Skitty said.
Nell nodded to Skitty.
"And now presenting..." Young Catherine started.
"From Eden Starling and Catherine Beadnell with Skitty and Nell the Spinarak, the future toast of London..." Young Eden added.
"The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever!" the two little girls then announced together.
The two Pokemon gave a little curtsy to the family. The guests applauded and then someone played the piano for the girls and their Pokemon. The two Pokemon started to do a little dance around their young mistresses. The young girls then sang a song known as Jolly Old St. Nicholas.
"Who's St. Nicholas?" Teddy wondered.
"People called Santa Claus that back then." Estelle whispered.
"Oh..." Teddy then smiled and nodded in understanding.
While the girls sang, their two Pokemon continue dance around and made sure to not mess up. Estelle smiled, she really wanted to join the dance, but no one would know it.
"I see you are the dancing fan," Christmas Past smiled to Estelle. "Was your mother a dancer?"
"A little." Estelle said.
"What did inspire you the most about dancing?" Jenny asked her friend.
"When I was really little..." Estelle thought back. "Daddy took us to the video store so we could have a family movie night, he had time off, so we could all be together... I then borrowed a movie called The Swan Princess and Mom told me it was based on a ballet and she let me watch that, and ever since then, I've been preparing myself to become a professional ballerina."
"Would you like to join in then even if no one will be able to see you?" Eden asked, acting generous.
"Oh, I don't know..." Estelle shrugged as she still held Teddy over her shoulders. "I can wait for another time."
"Go on, Mama, you should enjoy yourself." Teddy smiled down before letting himself off her shoulders.
"Oh, I'm not sure..." Estelle said.
The others insisted that she go on since she was the Dancing Queen of the bunch.
"Well... All right, I suppose I could join this one time." Estelle then finally agreed. She soon joined in while the girls still sang.
Teddy smiled as he loved it when Estelle would dance. And where even Eden seemed to find Estelle dancing enchanting. Jenny smiled as she found Estelle to be brave to dance in public like that, then thought about how she would sing while practicing playing the piano and it made her wonder if she should sing more often around others. Felicity even swayed to the music herself. And when the music ended the performance was perfect.
The guests then applauded and complimented the girls and their Pokemon.
"And you said you didn't bring gifts for anyone!" Christmas Past said to Eden.
"What do you mean?" Eden shrugged. "I didn't."
"Your talent, look at how happy you've made everyone." Estelle smiled up at Eden as she came back to them.
"Oh, I guess it did. I never really thought of it that way," Eden replied. "Performing has always been about work and being a star. Except then."
There was then a banging at the door and Mrs. Beadnell decided to get it.
"Take me home, NOW!" Eden urged as she knew who was at the door. She soon picked up Chuzzlewit as Skitty started to get scared as she had smelled a familiar scent.
"Why? We're having so much fun." Christmas Past frowned.
"NOW!" Eden urged.
"Where is Eden?!" Aunt Marie's voice demanded.
Delcatty soon meowed out of anger. Christmas Past then decided to take Eden home with the little girls, Chuzzlewit, and Teddy. And where they were soon back in Eden's bedroom.
"I didn't realize; I should have left when you told me to," Christmas Past felt guilty. "I had no idea."
"She ruined the whole holiday. Just stood there screaming for what seemed like forever. At me, at Catherine, at the Beadnells... Oh, it was horrible," Eden replied. "That was my last Christmas there. Aunt Marie never left me alone for a second after that."
"And what happened to your Skitty?" Estelle frowned.
"A-After we left the Beadnells' house, she forced me to make a decision to either train Skitty to be perfect and not focus on playing around or set it free o-or keep it in its Pokeball." Eden frowned back.
"So?" Jenny feared the worst.
"I have not seen my Skitty ever since..." Eden bowed her head.
"We're so sorry." The Spirit of Christmas Past frowned out of sympathy.
"Don't be, Aunt Marie was right," Eden replied. "I wasted time on those silly Christmas pageants for the Beadnells. After that, I concentrated on myself. And do you know what happened?"
"No, what?" Jenny asked.
"I made my Covent Garden debut at thirteen... Thirteen!" Eden replied, then glared to the Spirit of Christmas Past. "Don't you have someplace to go? You're not even real, anyway. I'm sure I'm just dreaming all of this. When I go back to bed, you'll be gone." she then laid down and put on her sleeping mask.
Christmas Past sighed and picked up her Lillipup. "Come on, boy, we better let her rest before Christmas Present shows up."
Lillipup nodded out of sadness. Estelle soon used her magic to make it look like she and the girls and Teddy had disappeared back to the guest room. Eden convinced herself it was just a dream and went back to sleep.
"I still can't believe Eden had a Pokemon..." Estelle said as she came back into bed with Jenny, Felicity, and Teddy, but they were all wide awake from what they just saw. "Who knew?"
"We'll have to wait for the next ghost." Jenny said.
