My small hands grabbed onto my father's shirt as he lay on the bed. We have been here for a few months since my dad decided to join this organization called Central Command. It is rather odd being up in the stars but it's also amazing to see how pretty it was. I always gazed into the night sky and now I am in it!

"Daddy," I said. "Yes?" He spoke. "Do you like being a part of Central Command?" I asked. "Mhm." He spoke.

Even if we may be in space, it seems the same as when we were home. Dad most of the time gone, and at times the parents fight. Dad says the place we are at is Earth and says that we time-traveled or something like that. But we live in a small house, in San Frisco.

 It was given to us by the boss of Central Command and many houses and buildings were given to the folks that were taken in our time. Mommy, my sister, and I stayed at that house until Daddy was done with his training. Now we more live on the ship that he has.

Though It was strange for people of our time to be taken to a new time, over time we are adjusting to it. From what I understood we were all going to die if they didn't take the ones that they took, thankful we happened to be them. 

"Glad you requested some time off for the near holiday," Mother said. "Maybe, do something with your children this week. Before you have to leave again." She continued.

He thought for a moment, as he sat up. "There is something that is going on for the Holiday season. Though I believe Boo may be too young. It's through the Central com-" he said.

"You go with Mo, I'll stay here and watch Boo. Just remember to feed the child." She cut his sentence off. "I promise I won't forget." He replied. "You say that." She grumbles. "How safe is this, whatever you're going to?" Mother asked. 

"It's a Winter Event and it's safe. Enough." He grumbled, the last part of his sentence. "Except you're safe and my safe is very different," Mom said. "At least I can meet new friends! New place, new things!" I giggled.

She chuckled with a very pretty smile. "Alright then. Just dress warmly for it and stay safe when it's time." She paused. "When does this Event start dear?" She asked.

"December 6th, a few days away," I said. "Alright then. Mo, want to come along and go shopping with me? You can pick your coat." She spoke. I jumped out of the bed with excitement. "Yes!" I spoke.

"Alright then. We'll get going then." She spoke.

| Time of the Winter Event. |

I held Dad's hand as we walked on one of the ships. I wore a lavender coat with red wine gloves. My father wore a red wine, which nearly looked like a tux, his puffy black/ dark brown hair and goatee, and lavender gloves. We seemed to be walking toward someone in a floating chair.

The dark being sat there in a gown, I have never seen a man in a gown. His green, maybe brown eyes glared at my father as I could feel his grip tighten with my hand. "Hello Rev." The drag said.

"You know 'em?" I asked, looking at my father." He knows all.  Sadly." He spoke.

"Yes, there things you may find but-" The drag said. "Just take us to fucking Winter Wonderland," Dad said.

I gasped. "Daddy said a bad word!" I spoke. "Don't tell your mother." He huffed.

The drag laughed. "Mortals so needy. I assume you two can join with the others." The Drag said. "Do we take a shuttle?" I asked.
