The kids soon came into the elevator with their pets.
"You guys are so lucky to have pets..." Felicity sighed. "Though Gabrielle lets me and Chip share Sultan with her once in a while."
"That's good." Estelle said.
"I guess..." Felicity replied.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get a pet someday." Vincent soothed.
"This is going to be the greatest holiday ever!" Margarita beamed as she jumped up and down with Eloise as they waited for the elevator.
"Yeah, nothing could ruin this moment." Akito smiled.
"Not to mention the bestest show ever!" Eloise beamed as she pulled on Weenie's leash as they came in the elevator. "And Max can be one of Santa's Little Helpers." she then added as a joke before giggling with the others.
"Don't you speak 'Elf', Max?" Vincent added.
Max only glanced at the doors until they would open as he didn't talk with the kids.
"Guess not." Vincent said.
"Um, guys?" Margarita spoke up nervously as they left the elevator.
"What's the matter?" Eloise frowned in concern to her best friend.
"How exactly are we going to get Santa to come?" Margarita asked. "I know he visits everyone on Christmas Eve, but-"
"We have our way." Estelle said.
"Come with us," Eloise smiled. "We've got it all worked out."
Charlie soon smiled as he let a couple into the hotel and opened the door for Eloise and the others. "Open Sesame, for Margarita and friends with Miss Eloise!"
"Why, hello, Charlie." Estelle smiled.
"Hello, Estelle," Charlie smiled back before she curtsied which made him bow. "Such a lovely little lady you are."
"Thank you." Estelle smiled.
Eloise was leading them to meet a friend of hers and they all followed her. There was a young boy with his mother as they were wrapping up poinsettias together to sell to people on the streets.
"Hello." Vincent greeted them.
"Oh, hello." The boy smiled as his mother went into the van to get more flowers.
Eloise crossed the street with Weenie to see the boy. "Guys, this is Matteus."
"It's nice to meet you." Akito said.
"Matteus, these are my cousins," Eloise introduced. "Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Felicity."
"Another poinsettia for Eloise?" Matteus offered.
"Why are you selling flowers in the cold?" Estelle frowned.
"Just helping Mom with our job." Matteus replied.
"That's interesting." Akito said.
"Make it two orders," Eloise told Matteus. "We're celebrating."
Margarita giggled.
"What?" Matteus smiled as he wrapped up the flowers for the girls.
"It's a show." Vincent said.
"Wow..." Matteus smiled as he wrapped up the potted plants.
"What're you doing for the holidays?" Felicity asked.
"Well, every year, my family and friends come from all over town to our house for a big holiday dinner." Matteus smiled as he held out the poinsettia to Eloise.
"That sounds nice." Estelle smiled.
"Where do you live anyway?" Felicity asked. "Where's your house?"
"There." Matteus pointed to the van parked where his mother was gathering more poinsettias for people.
"You live in a van?" Akito asked.
"Yep, my whole life." Matteus replied.
"If you'd like, you could come to our show," Eloise invited before paying for the flowers. "We'd like to have you."
"Me?" Matteus smiled.
"Of course." Estelle smiled back.
"You can bring anyone you'd like." Akito added.
"Don't tell anyone, but Santa's gonna be in it too." Eloise whispered with a smirk.
Estelle nodded in agreement.
Matteus's eyes widened.
"It's kind of a surprise..." Eloise smiled innocently.
"Matteus? Matteus!" The boy's mother called out.
"Coming, Mother!" Matteus called back.
Matteus's mother smiled as she had wreathes in her hands. Matteus joined her and that was everyone else's cue to go.
"This will be a great holiday." Vincent smiled.
"So, what's the plan, Eloise?" Margarita asked her best friend about getting Santa to come to the hotel.
"This!" Eloise smirked as she took her pet turtle out of her pocket as he latched onto Ditto's Pokeball.
"Skipperdee?" Vincent asked out of confusion.
"Ditto?" Akito and Estelle added as he was the only Pokemon that Eloise had, at least for right now.
"You're going to put Skipperdee and Ditto in the mailbox?" Margarita asked. "Well, that doesn't sound like much of a plan."
Eloise noticed that and placed Skipperdee on Weenie's back before taking out a letter. "I mean this!"
"Ohh." The rest of the kids said, now understanding.
"I wrote Santa a letter to tell him all about the show," Eloise smirked. "He absolutely, positively has to come! Look, I've done the arithmetic," she then took out a paper out of her pocket that had checks and pluses for Naughtiness and Niceness. "Look, on this side's all the times I've been naughty, and on that side is all the times I've been nice. All and all, Tech and I think I've been pretty nice, along with a few minor boo boos."
"That's good." Akito smiled.
"The oatmeal in Mrs. Thornton's slippers?" Margarita asked.
"Yes." Eloise sighed.
"And that mountain climbing expedition in the pantry when we had that-" Margarita asked.
"Well, that was an accident," Eloise replied as she waved her letter before putting it in the mailbox. "Don't worry, Santa will be here."
"Not to mention that time you poured a pitcher of water down the mail chute and it got onto Prunella when she was hired into the Plaza." Felicity commented.
"I think that's enough." Estelle said.
"Santa will be here, I know he will." Vincent said as he stroked Snow White's fur.
Snow White purred and looked across the street with a smirk as a certain red-haired girl was across the street with her kitten and poodle. "Wouldn't be with a certain someone make this the perfect day?" She smirked at her owner.
"Hey, stop gossiping!" Vincent blushed.
"I'm not gossiping." Snow White smirked.
"Hey, Jenny, look, it's Vincent." Oliver smiled.
Jenny looked over across the street to see that he was right. "You're right, Oliver, let's go see him."
"Yes, let's." Georgette said.
They then came across the street after checking for any incoming cars or taxi cabs.
"She's coming this way!" Vincent panicked. "How's my hair? Is there something in my teeth? Is anything up my nose?"
Akito and Estelle giggled.
"You're fine." Snow White said.
"Oh, Vincent, your head..." Akito replied.
"WHAT?!" Vincent yelped. "What about it?!"
"It's so big from your ego!" Akito said before laughing with Estelle.
"Ha ha, very funny." Vincent rolled his eyes.
"Hi, guys." Jenny smiled.
"Hi, Jenny." The others replied.
"Hola, Jenny." Margarita added.
"Hi, Snow White." Oliver smiled.
"Hi, Oliver." Snow White smiled back.
"Hi, there." Weenie smirked up to Georgette.
"Hello, Dog Who Looks Like a Cat." Georgette teased the way Eloise would describe Weenie since pugs often did look like cats.
"Ha ha, very funny." Weenie rolled his eyes.
"Is there something going on in the Plaza this year?" Jenny asked Eloise.
"Yeah, we're having our own Holiday Extravaganza with Santa Claus himself, you should come." Eloise invited.
"Santa Claus...?" Jenny asked. "Oh, I dunno... Liz and Noelle say that he's not real..."
"They're just non-believers." Estelle said.
Jenny frowned as she wasn't sure about believing in Santa so much anymore ever since she was in Mrs. Hedwig's class and the things she seemed to like in the past seemed babyish.
"Santa is real, Jenny." Estelle said.
"Is he...?" Jenny frowned as she rubbed her arm nervously.
"Jenny, you shouldn't let Liz and Noelle get to you for believing in something that little kids believe in," Vincent said. "I mean, look at me, I used to think Winnie the Pooh was for babies until Aunt Rosie and Uncle JJ read us a story about their grand adventure finding Christopher Robin."
"That's right." Akito said.
Jenny soon smiled. "You're right..."
"Can you come into the hotel?" Eloise asked.
"Sure, I'll just have to tell Winston and bring Georgette inside," Jenny said as her poodle shivered slightly. "She hates to get cold."
"Okay." Eloise smiled.
Oliver came toward Central Park, he picked up a twig in his mouth that had some holly on it and was about to give it to Jenny, but then saw Emily as she flew down and cooed. Oliver bowed to her like a gentleman and put the twig down and gently pushed it over with his nose so that she could have it instead.
"Thank you." Emily smiled.
"You're welcome, Miss," Oliver smiled back. "Merry Christmas."
Emily soon flew away to her nest while Oliver smiled as he did a good thing.
Back in the hotel, Yuko and Espeon looked out the window together and smiled as they were experiencing snow, but frowned as it was soon short-lived and it began to rain.
"Aw, come on!" Espeon complained.
Yuko frowned as she felt miserable now and left the window in depression of the no snow.
"If only one of us knew Ice Beam, then we could turn the rain into snow." Espeon sighed.
"What is this Ice Beam?" Yuko asked her Pokemon.
"It's an ice-type move that a water-type Pokemon or a ice-type Pokemon can use." Espeon said.
"I'm sure we can think of something, Espeon." Yuko comforted.
"I sure hope so, Yuko." Espeon said as she nuzzled against the girl to comfort her due to the lack of snow.
They both soon remembered Buizel was a water-type.
"Hey, Espeon, isn't Buizel a water type Pokemon?" Yuko asked about Tyler's Pokemon.
Espeon paused to think and then nodded. "Yeah, he is."
"He might be our answer." Yuko said.
It was becoming rather gray and gloomy at the Plaza Hotel as Yuko and Espeon would see Tyler whenever he would come back to visit. Mo was soon talking with Atticus about what Akito told him about his 'crystal power'. And where he now looked wide-eyed and pale-faced.
"I was afraid of this..." Atticus sighed.
"I know, honey, I know, we've been trying to keep this hidden from them since they were born, but I'm afraid it's getting to time where they must know more about their Uncle Sombra." Mo sighed.
"You're right." Atticus sighed back.
"What a Christmas this is turning out to be..." Mo sighed back. "Oh, well, at least the kids are excited."
"Yeah." Atticus nodded.
