A Miraculous Christmas

A/N: This is a Christmas story featuring an original character I created named Estelle! I haven't published her story yet, but I will soon. So, think of this as a little sneak peak! Anyways, enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

I bit my lip as I looked at the door to my mother's room. This week has been very busy for her at her clothing shop, so she's been very tired out. Tonight was Christmas Eve, and we always went out caroling together...

"M-Mama...?" I said quietly, gently knocking on the door. No answer. I sighed softly and quietly opened the door, peaking in and trying not to make my presence known. My mother was there, asleep on her bed with her clothes still on and her hair half up in a bun. She looked exhausted.

I closed the door and sighed softly. "I guess I'll be caroling alone this year...." I mumbled, turning around and walking out of my house. I started walking, going house to house, shop to shop, singing Christmas carols to brighten other's spirits. After about my second street, I was greeted by a friendly face. None other than Chat Nior

"Ah, mademoiselle! Merry Christmas" the suave feline hero said to me.

"Merry Christmas to you as well, Chat...!" I said with a kindly smile.

He returned the smile. "What are you doing out here all alone?" He asked.

"I should ask you the same question...!"

He grinned. "I'm just out patrolling, making sure beautiful girls like you are safe on Christmas."

I blushed softly and gently shoved his shoulder. "Oh, stop...!"

He chuckled and gently took my arm. "I saw you caroling. May I join you?"

My blush deepened and I nodded. "Yes, please...! The more the merrier..!"

And off we went, caroling down the street. It was so fun, and I was happy to have someone with me. He escorted me home and stopped at my front step.

"That was fun...! I hope we can do this again next year..!" Chat chirped happily.

I nodded and smiled softly. "I would like that...!"

He nodded, and then remembered something. "Oh! I have a present for you! Let me just find it..!" He said, and started searching. As he searched, I looked up and blushed. We where standing under mistletoe. I bit my lip and looked at him. He hadn't noticed. A quick kiss on the cheek won't hurt... I leaned in to kiss his cheek and...

"I found-!" He began, but was cut off by our lips meeting in a kiss. My face flushed a deep red and I quickly broke the kiss.

"A-ah! Ch-Chat, Im so sorry! I-I only meant to kiss your cheek!!"

He chuckled and handed me the present, a soft blush dusting his cheeks. "It all right...! Merry Christmas, mademoiselle~!" He said, and then was off. I looked down at the present in my hands and smiled softly.

"Best Christmas ever....~!"
