Elfcon One

Reader's p.o.v

Walking through the workshop I observed the working elves. "Miss Snickerdoodle, would you like a cookie?" A little elf asked as I smiled. "Of course! Thank you!" Taking a couple sugar cookies I kept walking. "Hey Mary, How's the painting going?" I asked the young elf painting the faces on toys. "Hard work as always" She said to me with a smile. "Well I'll give you a break in a bit, keep up the good work!" I said to her before I continued to walk.

Hearing a loud propeller I looked up and squinted curious what the noise was. Shrugging I kept walking. "Be careful with the hammers you guys" I told the elves who were slamming trains together. "How are the stuffed bears coming along you guys?" I asked as the elves sewed together the backs of the bears.

"Here, Miss Snickerdoodle!" One of the elves said tossing me a bear. "It's so soft, the kids will love this!" I told them as they all smiled. Taking the bear as I walked. "Miss, Snickerdoodle you're needed in the watch-deck!" A young elf shouted. Quickly running up I watched as the system moved to an elfcon 3. Standing beside Bernard I held the stuffed bear. "They aren't stopping! Move to elfcon 2" Bernard said. Flipping a switch we were in elfcon 2.

Scott emerged from the floor as I stood a bit uneasy. "We've got a partridge and a peartree, take us to elfcon 1" Scott said "Yes sir" One of the little elves said "Lets rig for a silent running" I told the elf as the nodded. "Yes, Ma'am!"

"Okay, we're at elfcon 1" an elf said. An alarm blared as I watched Bernard slap controls over and over then the sound in the workshop stopped. Everyone was quiet as I bit at my nail nervously.

"You better watch out, you better not cry! You better not pout I'm telling you why!"

A Christmas carol played through the workshop as I looked out not hearing it from the main room, "Candy Canes.." I groaned quickly running down the steps to the reindeer pen. Pushing open the doors I jumped up on the back of the sleigh taking the dancing Santa away from my brother who pouted. Turning it off I sighed. Looking up I heard the plane leave "We're at elfcon 4. All clear!" An elf said.

"Curtis you idiot!" I said slapping him with my hat. "Ow!" He shouted. "Curtis, what do you say we get you headphones this Christmas?" Santa said. "It's alright everybody, let's get back to work" he said to them as they started working again.

"Curtis. You're 900 years old. Grow up!" Bernard seethed. Both my boyfriend and I glaring at my younger brother.

He scowled at us as Santa called out "Snickerdoodle, Bernard" He said as we glanced at him, hitting my brother again I handed him the Santa doll following after Santa pulling my hat on. Walking out of the workshop I walked beside Scott. "Santa I should be getting off, Bernard and I had.. business to attend to and Judy was going to come with me" I waved to him as Bernard seemed a bit confused. The business was that we were talking about sharing an elf-apartment with each other and Judy had been helping me look.

"I'm sure you guys would be happy to live here, it's right across from the workshop" She said, the outside of the building was candy cane design and I smiled at the tinsel decorating it. "I think I like it, do you know if there is any more room to fit us both?" I asked her as she nodded. "You can take my old place, I used to live here but since I've moved it's been up for sale." She said as I hugged her. "Thanks Judy" I said to her. "I'll help you move yours and Bernard things in for you both, you go talk to Santa.. something really important is going on" she said to me as I raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" I asked stretching my ears, pointing to the very ears I was scratching I looked through the reflection in a sign. My eyes widened as fell back colliding with the ground. "Snickerdoodle- Smickerdoodle!" Judy shouted slapping me across the face. "Ow! I'm awake!" I shouted as she smiled. "Good now take your human ears to Santa" She said as I covered my ears. 'Why did they look some humanly and round' I wondered quickly running to the workshop for answers. I swear if Scott did something and Bernard didn't tell me.. I'm going to kill them both!
