Christmas Wishes

Chapter 3

Ebenezer help! No! shouted Ebenezer he knew who it was calling him he bounded down the hill looking for her the girl who had captured his heart she reached out her hand for him he made it to the beach

By the time he reached her she could barely breathe the net was suffocating her she reached out for him again. He quickly freed her from the Fisherman's net her tail turned into a pair of legs and the clothes from earlier were soaked she was absolutely beautiful.

I promised you I wouldn't let anything or anyone hurt you love but I failed I'm so sorry beautiful he said running his hands through her hair I'll never forget you or your smile the moment I first saw you you immediately had and have forever captured my heart.

I.... Ebenezer Annie smiled cutting him off putting one finger to his lips oh how he wished she would be his but he knew a dream like that was pointless and he knew it so he was stuck in a state of uncontrollable shock when she had asked him to a ball.

Ebenezer of course said yes and she was absolutely delighted but what to wear was the problem she was waiting on the staircase in a pink ball gown with pink ruffles which decorated the bottom.

But as Ebenezer was making his way to the staircase he ran into an old hag.
Oh, what a lovely man the old hag said

That's very kind of you, but I really... Ebenezer started But the old woman cut hi off No, no! Granny has a gift for you.

Thank you. But I really should be going. You see, I'm going... Ebenezer said but once again is cut off as the old hag pulls him towards a fountain

'Tis a wishing well, dear the old woman said as Ebenezer responded Oh! But all my wishes are about to come true. I really do have to go he added.

Oh, but a wish on your special day. That's the most magical of all. Just close your eyes, my darling, and make your wish. That's right. That's right. Lean in close. Are you wishing for something? the old woman asked

Yes, I am Ebenezer said before whispering his wis and they both lived happily ever aft... But before he could finish he was pushed and down the wishing well down and down and down he went

Where, my most adored queen, where did you send him? Nathaniel asked as queen
Narissa responded to a place where there are no "happily ever afters."Hello! It's me, Ebenezer, Hello! Hello! Is there anybody home? Hello, please open the door. It's very cold out here.

I think he might be a real prince Amber Nivia Rain and Iclyn said at the same time

Amber Nivia Rain Iclyn just because he has on a funny suit, doesn't mean he's a prince. He is a seriously confused man who's fallen into our laps. The girls father said.

So we're not going to let her stay?-Amber Nivia Rain and Iclyn said sadly No. I want you four to go to bed. But.... Put on your nightgowns and go to sleep the sisters knew there was no winning this.

Good night the four sisters said before leaving the room.

Hi. I need a car at 116th and Riverside, please Robert said. Hold, please a man on the other end of the phone said. Thank you Robert replied.

Hello, sir. Destination, please. Sir? Annie had jumped down the wishing well in search of Ebenezer Scrooge.

Tiny Tim and Bob were expecting Ebenezer to come over for a late night dinner Bob had just assumed Ebenezer was running a full 16 minutes late after all Ebenezer like him was making rather merry yesterday but that wasn't the case.

The case was something else entirely something Bob Cratchit didn't understand.
