Cherry and Atticus's Enchanted Christmas

chapter 2

The kids of the castle were getting themselves ready for the party as the sun was going down and the guests would be coming in any minute to celebrate the joyful holiday.

"Oh, this is just going to be so exciting." Gabrielle smiled.

"Oui, oui," Felicity agreed. "My cousins and their friends are coming as well!"

"That'll be fun," Chip smiled at that. "It sure is fun celebrating Christmas in the castle again, it sure was dark and lonely without it."

Gabrielle and Felicity looked curious.

"Oh, that's right..." Chip forgot that that had happened before they were born. "Um... Let's go downstairs!" he then picked up a loose ribbon which caught Sultan's attention.

And which caused Sultan to chase after it. The girls chased Chip with the dog and they all laughed along the way as the villagers and other guests were coming into town while singing 'Deck the Halls'. Amongst them all was the Fudo family and their pets and Pokemon and Emi and her brother and their friends and their Pokemon.

Chip, Gabrielle, and Felicity came to the end of the hallway and over top the staircase as they looked down at the party. "Whoa..." they said as they saw decorations, food, and it looked like a dream come true.

The girls came down the stairs with the dog as Chip slid down the banister to get downstairs much quicker.

"Deck zhe halls with boughs of holly~" Lumiere sang as he walked by the buffet table. "Oh, yes, zhere must be much, much more holly!"

"Tis the season to be jolly~" Cogsworth added in as he glanced at one plate that was covered in holly. "What's this? This is too much holly? Whoa!" he then nearly stumbled as the three children zipped by. "Slow down, children!"

Angelique was now putting the Christmas angel on top of the Christmas tree. "Don we now our gay apparel~" the castle decorator sang to herself. "No, no, no, more mistletoe!"

Cherry stood by the fireplace, wearing an emerald green dress with opera gloves and had black flats on and her hair was slightly up in bows and ribbons. Mrs. Potts began to hum the same song. Chip popped his head out with a laugh.

"Children, away from those presents, dears!" Mrs. Potts called firmly, but gently.

"Mrs. Potts, we found some for us!" Gabrielle ran with one present in her hands.

"Can we open them, Madame, can we?" Felicity pleaded as she also had a present.

"Well, just one each." Mrs. Potts replied gently.

"Oh, boy!" Chip beamed and sat down with his friends to open their gifts.

"Wahoo!" Gabrielle smiled.

The kids then happily opened their presents. Ash, Emi, Gary, Brock, Misty, Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Jenny then came into the ballroom of the castle and they all noticed each other which made them all, well mostly all of them, very delighted as they hugged each other and beamed once they saw that they were all going to the same Christmas party.

"What are you guys doing here?" Vincent smiled.

"We were invited of course." Emi said.

"You were?" Akito asked.

"Must've been a surprise from Belle and Adam." Mo smirked, though she had a knowing look in her eyes and so did her husband.

"You both knew, didn't you?" Akito smirked.

"You are my son." Atticus laughed a little.

Snow White emerged from the crowd as she came with Dot and Scruffy. Suddenly the white cat was pounced on and she looked up in surprise to see her favorite fellow kitten.
