𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓶𝓪𝓼 𝓜𝓲𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓵𝓮 ↣ Bernard The Elf

Toy Santa

I walked into the workshop, Santa and Curtis were there already and other elves were leaving . "What are we doing here Curtis?" I asked him.

"I wanted to show Santa some improvements on the pantograph" Curtis said to me as I looked at the giant machine. "See, I've tripled the RAM and reconfigured the circuitry"

"I see you finally externalised the power source to make better use of the electromagnetic energy" I said folding my arms. "No it's just there cause it looks really cool" He said as I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah it does" Scott said high-fiving my brother. "Wait a minute, you tripled the RAM?" He asked. Curtis glanced at Scott and I with a weak smile. "Woah hey! I know where this is going, I'm not getting in there!" I pointed, "Curtis we've talked about this, plus creating a fake Santa and a fake elf wouldn't solve any problems" Scott said, I watched at Bernard remains silent pacing around the machine.

"The elves will know, they aren't as dumb as you think" I glared at my brother. "But this would be a special toy!" Curtis exclaimed "How's that?"

"I added a fuzzy logic circuit, the duplicates will look and think just like you" Curtis explained. "So when you're dealing with Charlie and trying to find a wife.." Curtis began. "Toy us will be melting in front of the fireplace" I deadpanned. "No. Toy you will be a stand-in till you get back." Curtis explained. "I can deal with business up here, I have before" Bernard said wrapping his arms around me nervously. "Curtis this machine isn't the answer" Scott said.

Glancing at the machine a little mouse ran up the conveyor belt. "Hey! Hey!" I exclaimed quickly going up it trying to catch the mouse. "No wait!" Curtis shouted. The machine turned on as I was locked in the tube with the mouse "Ow! Ow!" I shouted. "Curtis get her out of there!" Bernard shouted. Watching the tube open back up the little mouse jumped from my hand, yelping another mouse ran from behind me and towards the other, the two looked practically the same.

"Snickerdoodle are you alright?" Bernard asked me cupping my face. "Yeah I'm okay-" I started, marching Scott and Curtis's gaze I looked at a copy of me in the tube, noticing the attire I ran and covered my brothers eyes, Scott quickly covered it up as Bernard fainted. "Maybe let's try to figure out a way they come out with clothes on" Scott said as Curtis moved my hands. Helping Bernard up I patted his face, he was as red as Rudolph's nose! I laughed and helped him into a chair "Scott could you get Bernard a glass of milk?" I asked as he made Curtis go, running fingers through Bernard's curly hair he seemed in a daze.

Scott held Bernard as I looked at the toy version of me. "Hello?" I asked waving to it, her eyes seemed to wander till they met mine. "Hello!" She smiled waving back. "She's like a barbie" I said to Scott glancing down the blanket he put around the toy.

"Don't say that" Scott said as Curtis handed my boyfriend the glass of milk, Scott helped Bernard drink it, I got the toy me dressed, she was obviously made of plastic, her hair at least was synthetic and looked real. I braided her hair and took my elf hat off putting it over her head. "Maybe Curtis was right" I said, glancing at her elfvish ears she put her hands on the tips "How come yours are rounded?" She asked.

"Elf puberty" I snickered as she gasped, I brought her back and watched Scott step out of the machine, grabbing a blanket the toy Santa came out behind me, I quickly covered it up before any of us could see anything.

"Watch him please" Scott told Curtis as he took my hand and Bernard's shoulder. "Bernard I need your help" He explained. "What do you mean?" He asked as I stood next to him. "What I mean is, I gotta go see Charlie. Snickerdoodle will come with. But I want you to convince the other elves.. that you Santa is me" Scott smiled weakly as we glanced at it, "Hm. Uh. Have you seen that thing?" Bernard said with a mouthwad of sass. I laughed as he wrapped a hand around my waist.

"I've seen it" He said "Keep the elves at a distance from both toys, tell them we've got a new look!" Scott said. "Santa we are way in over our heads" Bernard whined. "If anyone can do it, it's you" I said kissing Bernard's cheek. While Bernard went to tell the elves about the new toys, I walked with Scott to the reindeer pen.

"We really have to take a reindeer?" I asked Scott "What do you have a better idea?" He asked, I held one of the glitter balls from back when I was a scout elf "I do, Actually" I grinned. Turning behind me, Bernard walked in with Curtis and you practically having them attached to him. "You look like you're having fun" I teased kissing his face "It's great" Bernard glared. "I'm gonna get a head start to Charlie, you talk to Scott" I said kissing him again "Alright Snickers, please be safe" He said as I smiled dropping one of the glitter balls. Looking around Laura's house it was definitely changed since I had last been there.

"Snickerdoodle! What are you doing here?" Laura asked. "Well Scott and I are having- problems" I explained "What's going on?" Neil asked. "Well uh.. Charlie is on the naughty list and well Scott has to get married." I said rubbing my head, the twos jaws dropped as they looked in shock. "Maybe I should've let Scott tell you..."
