One Strange Christmas [Day 1]
It was very cold and was raining snow. It was really peaceful. As the moon shined upon the Santa village, out of nothing a strange reindeer passed around the houses. Every few seconds a blue spark would jump out of his body, as he was walking. Finally he reached the town smiled and collapsed....
The next day the reindeers and the elves living there found the poor reindeer that was in the snow. They took it immediately to Santa. He looked at it and took it inside his toy factory where was warm-and-fuzzy. The reindeer opened its eyes and looked at the good old man. Santa looked at the eyes of the reindeer and spoke:
-Hey little fella, what is your name and what are you doing in here?
- Oh... you.. you are Santa? Oh god, you are real! - He was happy. - I.. I am Zapper and I.. I'm from afar. I got lost and ended up here - he moved his eyes little to the left, and lowered his head. - Oh I'm so sorry for bothering You. You must be busy.... I should be going then - He looked at Santa's eyes - I have no place to live, but I really don't want to bother anyone.. Goodbye - Then he turned around and walked to the door.
That moment Santa said:
Who said about leaving? Ho - Ho - Ho Everyone are welcome here. Well, not here because you can't sleep in this old relic. It's my old factory for toys, but it's not running anymore. I will go ask some of my reindeers if they can take you with them. - He smiled.
Oh thank you so much. I have no words to describe how happy I am now - The reindeer jumped in the air.
15 minutes later, Santa came back with one reindeer. It was small and young and Zapper recognized him on the second he walked in the factory. It was Rudolph and his cute red nose.
I brought this young buck to help you. His name is.......
Rudolph !!!! - Maybe Zapper was happy before but now he was on the cloud nine.
Oh... you know my name? - Said Rudolph.
Of course I know it, You are the most famous reindeer with a bright red nose..
Yeah.. I have a red nose. But that is not that important. You can live with me - Rudolph smiled a little. - My father - Blitzen - is gone for few days and you can live with me.
Well, well, well - Santa looked at the both reindeers - You guys seem like you are going to understand each other, so go now, Rudolph, and show him around.
Alright, come with me. - They started walking. Rudolph was showing with his hoof and explaining - This is the School, and this is ... Some house, and that over there is a bigger house.
And I don't think you really know much about this place, do you?
Most of the time I'm in my house or outside town. The town is pretty much unfamiliar to me. - He laughs - But still I know my way around.
Alright if you say so... - Zapper rolled his eyes.
Finally this is my house, come in.
The house was medium with 3 beds. The air was full with the smell of Christmas. Well at least the smell of Ginger Cookies.
Your house smells nice - Zapper smiled.
Yeah it does, by the way what is your name? I never asked..
My name is Zapper, just like my electric personality and my scar, see? I have one on the left cheek. Its just like having a red nose - the reindeer smiled.
Oh , please stop this. I know you are just making fur of my nose... Everyone does it. - Rudolph turned around.
Hey!! You stop it! Your nose is cute, so are you. The scar is what makes me who I am. The same goes for your nose. And your nose is great. You are unique, and I would give so much to be as unique as you... - Zapper also turned around.
Really? Geee... I mean Thank you... Never trough someone can actually say something nice about my nose. - Rudolph turned around again, and went next to Zapper. - I'm sorry for getting mad.
Ah no problem - Zapper smiled and looked at Rudolph.- I really like you nose. Now tell me where I should be sleeping.
Ok, that bed over there. Its my father's but you can sleep there for now.
Cool, thanks for showing me around, lets have some fun? What you reindeers do for fun?
We run, we play in the snow... and that's pretty much it? Don't expect much.
I just remembered something, Rudolph, come with me.
They went outside. Zapper started running and they soon were out of the town.
Look here - Zapper was exited - Its my bag. I dropped it here. Come look
What is inside?
-Oh you will see.
They returned to the house. Zapper opened his bag and took out a book.
Hey, what is this? - Asked Rudolph
Oh it's just an book, want to read it with me ? I will tell you a secret : It's mine - Zapper smiled for a second then said - tell me after that how good it is.
-If you insist. I haven't read anything for some time, so it will be a nice change of my day routine.
And they started reading, and as they flipped the pages one after another, Zapper was getting closer and closer to Rudolph. They were reading like this was the most important book in the world. The hours passed by quickly, and soon was night. The book was almost over, and both reindeers were next to each other reading it.
The End. - Zapper smiled - did you like it?
Oh yeah, it was amazing. So realistic, and so long - Rudolph smiled back - And look a the time. I'm tired, what about you?
Oh yeah me too. Let's go to sleep?
Sure, good night - Rudolph moved to his own bed.
Good night - Zapper also moved to his bed, but he was happy. All day long he was with the most beautiful reindeer of all and he was happy. The most unbelievable thing was happening right at this moment. He lay down on the bed, and the dreams come fast as lightning. For first time in his life, he was so exited and happy, that there was no power left in his reindeer body.
