The Ideal Holiday (Bernard x Reader)

Chapter 43. Canadian Toy Factory

I was exhausted by the in-laws bad comments about the workshop, but we were only showing them dad's 'Canadian Toy Factory' and Dad, Carol, Curtis and the in-laws were walking around.

I was just sat down on a bench, looking at all the stuff around me, when dad called. "Y/N!"

I smiled and stood up. "Hey dad."

"Bud, Sylvia this is Y/N, my daughter." Dad spoke.

I tried to be nice. "Sylvia, you look gorgeous." 

Sylvia smiled. "Thank you so much," she turned to dad. "You said she was 30, she looks like a teenager!"

I took it as a complement but then again, I was an elf so I couldn't say why. I then realised this was a 'Canadian Toy Factory' and all the elves practically drank just hot chocolate but hey, I'm not complaining for the truth...but yet again I am, I have to keep this secret. Well, not really. I only have to when I visit my family and go to shops and stuff. But from now I have to keep my mouth shut.

"Thank you." I said.

Sylvia sighed. "We all can't be that lucky, I suppose you have a boyfriend?"

I only just met her and she's trying to know my whole life. "Husband." I corrected.

She smiled. "Of course."

"You take Christmas very seriously." Bud commented, looking at all the decorations that was practically normal for us all.

I chuckled. "It's the most wonderful time of the year."

Bud scoffed. "Yeah, right."

"Oh, honey. Just because your not into Christmas doesn't mean other can't enjoy it." Sylvia  said, quite angrily.

"Kids won't enjoy their toys this year." Bud remarked.

I frowned. "Why's that?"

Bud sighed. "This stuff should've been stored weeks ago."

"Yeah, that may be right. But we got a special way." I forced a smile.

Carol smiled. 

"What's the special way?" Sylvia asked.

"I- I umm-" I stammered for a moment. "We have a unique distribution system up here." I began. "We always end up getting them there before or on Christmas." I explained.

Bud chuckled. "On order to distribute this stuff, you'll have to freeze time." Bud joked.

Curtis smirked. "Trust me, sir. Manipulating the space-time continuum for one-night global delivery part is the easy part."

I kicked his foot. 

"Ow-"

"Who are you?" Bud asked.

"Curtis." He smiled. "Eh?"

Dad quickly stopped anymore of the conversation before Curtis gave much more away of the S.O.S. "Who's hungry?"

As dad led them to the kitchen i turned to dad. "I'm gonna go find Bernard."

Dad nodded. "Come back soon."

I smiled. "I'll introduce Bernard to them."
