The Missing Christmas Spirit Inside Of Us

12.

~Finally found them~

The next morning, Meggy and Mario went back to the point were they stopped yesterday.

"...Do you hear anything, Red?"

"No, not yet..."

...

...

"Wait...I hear the voice again. Follow me!"

They run to the voice and see a girl shoveling snow away from a igloo.

The girl looks like she's in her teenage years and she is still complaining about something.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Shovelling the entrance from my igloo free, why are you asking?"

"Well, we-"

"Do you live in that igloo?"

"No, it's just my hangout spot since my brothers didn't wanted it."

"Back to the important topic, did you see by any chance two people that look similar to him?"

Meggy points at Mario.

"One of them is blue and the other one is purple."

"Sorry, didn't see them around here."

"It's fine, we will continue searching for them...bye."

"Bye..."

The girl makes one last shovel full with snow and the entrance of her igloo is free again.

She looks inside and sees a purple person sitting on the ground with a blue person sitting on the purple ones lap, sleeping.

"WAIT, I THINK I FOUND YOUR FRIENDS!!!"

"REALLY?!"

"YES, THEY WERE TRAPPED IN MY IGLOO!"

Meggy and Mario run inside the igloo.

Mario takes a pic of SMG3 and SMG4 while Meggy is thinking on how to get SMG3 and SMG4 back to the castle without the situation escalating.

She sees a sleigh laying around in the igloo.

"Hey, uhh..."

"Call me Trixxie."

"Trixxie, could we borrow your sleigh?"

"Sure, but why?"

"I want to get these two back without waking them up."

"Why? Aren't they together?"

"No...?"

Both look to the sleepy heads.

"The sleeping positions tell something different..."

"I know..."

Meggy and Mario carefully put SMG3 and SMG4 down on the sleigh and walk out of the igloo, Meggy pulling the sleigh behind her.

"Bye Trixxie!

"Baiiii!"

Trixxie turns around after waving goodbye to Meggy and Mario.

"Something is missing..."

Meggy and Mario are almost at the castle now.

Meggy notices Mario holding a tree in his hands.

"From where do you have that tree?"

"I found it in the woods on the way back :D"

"WHERE DID MY NOT DECORATED CHRISTMAS TREE GO?!"
