Inside the busy clinic, Roxy, Ethan, and a group of dedicated students worked tirelessly to tend to the magical creatures in need. The air was filled with a sense of purpose and camaraderie as they moved from one patient to the next, their hearts brimming with compassion.

As they went about their tasks, Ethan turned to Roxy with a warm smile. "How's your day going, Roxy?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine interest.

Roxy took a moment, a nostalgic grin forming on her face. "It's amazing, but it's a bummer that I won't get to celebrate Christmas with my dad this year," she expressed, leaving Ethan perplexed. "What on earth is Christmas?" he pondered silently while gazing at Roxy.

Ethan's curiosity was piqued. "Christmas? What is that?" He asked, wanting to know what christmas is. Roxy smiled and replied, "It's a special holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. It's a day of joy and gift giving." Ethan nodded in understanding, his eyes widening with wonder.

"So, who exactly is Jesus Christ?" He inquired, prompting a giggle from Roxy. "On our planet, he is considered the son of God. I can share more details with you later," she replied, receiving a nod of acknowledgment from him.

Roxy soon realized that in the magical dimension, Christmas didn't technically exist for fairies like them. Despite this revelation, she couldn't help but feel a longing for the warmth and togetherness of her Earthly celebrations.

Right then, their attention was diverted by a soft rustling sound that seemed to be coming from outside the clinic. Intrigued, they couldn't resist the urge to step out and were greeted by the sight of a little cat huddled beneath a bush. Its fur was all tangled up, and its eyes were brimming with fear.

Without hesitation, they scooped up the trembling creature and brought it inside, where they set to work administering gentle care and healing magic. Slowly but surely, the cat began to relax, its wary gaze softening into one of trust and gratitude.

Curiously, Roxy questioned, "Where did it come from?" Ethan's expression turned into a frown. "I don't know, but we should start working on it immediately." He stopped himself from inspecting the cat's gender. "Let's lend her a hand," he proposed, and Roxy nodded in affirmation.

They kicked off their efforts to aid the little kitten by providing everything she needed to recover.

After hours of dedicated care, the cat finally drifted off to sleep, its purrs a soothing melody in the quiet clinic.

"No one owns this cat," Roxy pointed out, causing Ethan to furrow his brows. "Let's give her a name," he proposed. Roxy smiled and nodded in agreement. "What do you think of Rosey?" she asked. Ethan liked the suggestion and nodded, "Rosey it is."

Before cleaning up the clinic, they put the cat on an empty bed. After completing their tasks, they all decided to head back to school as it was getting dark. Upon reaching the school, they witnessed the descent of white flakes from the sky. Roxy immediately recognized it as snow, while the others were bewildered but proceeded to their dorm rooms.

What a day.









































The next day dawned bright and crisp, with the promise of a new adventure lingering in the air. Ethan was already getting himself some breakfast when he saw Flora approaching him with a gentle smile on her face.

"Hey Ethan, I've been searching all over for you," Flora exclaimed, her voice filled with warmth and excitement. "I have something special for you." She paused as he glanced at her curiously. "You know, my closest friend, Bloom, grew up on Earth where they celebrate Christmas. So, I wanted to give you my Christmas gift as a token of my gratitude for everything you do at school."
