Merry Christmas

EMMA'S POV:

Christmas break had finally come and everyone was filled with joy. It was the time where people travel to warmer weather, when the spoiled kids get exactly what they want, and when people have another excuse to have a boatload of sweets. On the last day of school everyone in my class was explaining how great their winter breaks were going to be.

"I'm going to Siesta Key, Florida to visit my grandma, Widow Lucas this Christmas, because she's too busy to come here," Ruby explained to me during lunch.

"Well I'm going to Brazil to relax on the beach and explore the rainforest," Belle added on.

"I'm going to Kansas to visit some family that can't make it this year," Dorothy said.

"I'm going to Mexico," Aurora commented.

"Thailand." Mulan said.

"St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands," Tina said.

"Texas," Marian added.

All of my friends are going places this year except for me. My family has never gone anywhere for Christmas break and I don't expect my dad to start traveling now. But the upside of this unfortunate event is that I get to spend my Christmas break with Killian without my friends distracting me.

It was snowing like crazy now and all of Storybrooke Maine was covered in snow, sleet, and ice. Killian had invited me to his house on December 23, a Friday night, for a special Christmas dinner just the two of us at nine. We will both be busy with our families. My dad has this special meal planned for us on the 24th and Killian is having his brother, Liam and his father over for the 24th and 25th as well.

Before all of my friends leave on the 24th and 25th, Ruby thought it would be a great idea to have an ugly sweater party for all of us girls. Since I couldn't ride my bike due to the freezing cold weather I asked my dad if I could borrow the truck to ride to Ruby's house for the party.

"Sure, Em, what time does the party end?" He asked me.

"I don't know. I might sleep over," I lied.

"Ok have a good time."

"I will," I said. Knowing that the sweater party isn't the only fun I'll be having tonight.

I wore my old grey sweater with a picture of a reindeer with a big red nose and antlers, black leggings, and grey boots. I grabbed the keys from the bowl by the door where we put the car keys. I slowly walked to the car, opened the door, put the key into the ignition, and drove out of the driveway to Ruby's house for the sweater party.

RUBY'S POV:

The chips with dip were laid out along with the pretzels, Doritos, trail mix, and popcorn. The pizza delivery boy just dropped off four large pizzas and two bottles of coke. I added them to my collection of Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper, and Root Beer. I carried them to the kitchen. I set out napkins and plates along with a boatload of candy that I put in some more bowls. I got twizzlers, hershey's chocolate, and an arrangement of other candy I stuck in bowls.

I told people to get here around 7:30. I had invited Aurora, Mulan, Dorothy, Marian, Tina, Belle, and Emma. After I got everything ready and laid out I ran upstairs and quickly got dressed. I put on my beige sweater with a red lining on the collar it had the words feel the joy plastered on the front with snow falling and giant Santa gloves on the sleeves. It was fit for an ugly sweater party. After I got dressed I heard the doorbell ring and went back downstairs to answer the door.

I opened the door to see Belle standing there dressed in a red sweater with penguin jamming out to music on the cover of the sweater. Belle was the first to arrive and I directed her to the kitchen to have some pizza and soda. About five minutes later Mulan showed up at my door with Tina and they were dressed very festively.
