TAW Christmas Special

(A/N: use font anismatic or however you spell it for the handwriting)

Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Minnow and my friend Shark is writing this for me since I can't write. Long story. Anyway, I don't know anything about Christmas but Dandelion and Shark and Oak told me that people write letters to you at Christmastime about what I want for Christmas. Why are you laughing, Oak? Stop it! Shark, stop writing whatever I say! It's not funny! Oh you watch your mouth. Shark stop!

Minnow knocked the pen out of Shark's hand and slapped him. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately.
"Why did you do that?" she demanded.
Oak bit her lip. "It's funny! How did you even know what he was writing?"
"Lion here," Minnow jabbed her thumb at Dandelion behind her, "Was reading it out loud."
Dandelion smiled meekly and waved.
Oak gave Dandelion a Minnow-like death glare and flipped them both off.
Shark snickered and said, "Same'ta you Oakie!"
Oak and Minnow both clenched their fists.
Dandelion rolled her eyes. "Ladies, please. Verdict, jury?"
Minnow narrowed her eyes and grabbed the pen.
"That's it!"
"What is she doing?" Shark whispered.
"No idea," Dandelion whispered back.
Minnow clenched the pen in her hand squinted at the clear paper, and started making marks at the bottom of the page.
Meanwhile Shark, Dandelion, and Oak were laughing their heads off behind her.
Minnow ignored them. She gripped the pen tighter and made markings like this:
➖〰〰✔️

"There!" she said, satisfied.
"What's it supposed to be?" Oak asked.
Minnow raised her eyebrows. "It's what I want for Christmas. The first is a new sheath for my knife, the next is a sketchpad for battle plans, and the last is a constellation map."
"Gotcha," Dandelion said. She grabbed the pen and wrote knife sheath, sketchpad, constellation map.
Minnow raised her eyebrows.
"It's nothing," Oak assured her.
Minnow shrugged. "Lio-"
"Lie-o? Who's the lier?" Shark interrupted, looking around.
What an idiot. Dandelion wrote.
"Not Lieo, Lio! Dandelion's nickname!" Minnow snapped.
"Since when?" Dandelion said.
"Since now," Oak grumbled.
"Anyway, Lio, go deliver this to Stanty for me, 'kay?" Minnow said,slipping the note into a envelope and holding it out.
Oak giggled. When she saw Minnow's glare, she said, "It's Santa for Afters sake. Santa. Not Stanty, not Stanta, not Santy. Santa."
"Whatever," Minnow said, and Dandelion sealed the envelope and headed off to deliver the note.
"Now," Shark said evilly. "Time to introduce Miss Condescending to gift-wrapping."
