Cherry and Atticus's Enchanted Christmas

chapter 14

However, Emi found herself unable to sleep as the Celebi really piqued her curiosity and she put on her coat over her pajamas and went out to see the time traveling Pokemon up close at once. And where she didn't have to go far as the Time Travel Pokemon seemed to have read her mind.

"Where are you...?" she looked around.

"You rang?" Celebi suddenly appeared in front of the girl.

"Whoa!" Emi jumped back slightly, falling into the snow, but luckily didn't hurt herself. "I knew it was you!"

"I just couldn't help myself." Celebi smiled bashfully.

Emi sighed and rolled her eyes, then looked back to the Pokemon. "What're you doing here?" she then asked the time traveling creature. "Is it another adventure? I've been to the Orange Islands and met Akito, then we were with Molly when her parents have been missing a while and she had Entei be her father and mine and Ash's mother to be her own."

"No, I just wanted you to experience the past," Celebi smiled. "I'll probably see you all again."

"I hope so..." Emi smiled back. "Thank you for this, we learned so much."

"You're welcome," Celebi smiled. "Well, I'll see you again some time in the future."

Emi giggled to that.

"Now, you better get back inside before you freeze." Celebi said.

"Yeah, I should," Emi looked back to the castle. "Why don't you come with us?" she then turned to see the Pokemon seemed to had vanished in thin air once her back was turned. "Where'd you go?!" she then sighed. "Oh, well, there's always next time..." she then stood up and went back into the castle to get back to sleep with the others.

Unknown to her, they would meet not only Celebi again, but they would also meet two people with it. The others then went to get some well-deserved rest.

Eventually, the sun was slowly coming up outside and it was the next day which only meant one thing...

"It's Christmas..." Chip woke up from his bed, then ran out with a laugh as he went to tell everyone. "Wake up, everybody, it's Christmas! Mama! Cogsworth! Lumiere! Belle! It's Christmas!"

"Yes, Chip, we know, we know." Belle giggled.

"Come on, we better get going." Adam chuckled.

Chip laughed as he ran downstairs like a typical excited child on Christmas morning. Gabrielle started to join him.

"Race you downstairs, Gabbi." Chip smirked.

"You're on!" Gabrielle laughed.

"Children." Cogsworth shook his head with how the kids behaved at Christmas time.

"Incoming!" Felicity ran right behind Cogsworth by accident and knocked him down nd joined the others downstairs, she had her boots on with her nightgown since she normally wore socks and the floor would be slippery in just socks.

Cogsworth groaned at his misfortune as he sighed to the three children of the castle. "Well, at least that is all of the children." he sighed.

"Here we come!" Ash's voice was heard.'

Cogsworth yelled out and got himself out of the way as the others were coming down to the ballroom themselves. "Why are they still here?" he then asked. "I thought they left for home last night?"

Sultan came with Patch, Scruffy, and Dot. "And here's where we keep the presents." he then told the guest dogs.

"Awesome!" Scruffy and Dot beamed.
