#4 "Santa?"

# SEVENTEEN -  울고 싶지 않아 (Don't Wanna Cry)

Nick enjoyed the fresh wind blowing through his hair as he flew across the country at high speed. He had missed this without him actually realizing it. Snowy glanced back at him checking how he was doing.

"I'm fine Snowy. I just have to check on the navigator as we go to our first destination." Nick said as he glanced at the dashboard. A red dot blinked as it showed the first destination.

"Huh. I still got it. This will be a breeze." Nick said as he got comfy on the sleigh. Time flew by quickly and soon enough, they were on top of the roof before Nick knew it. 

"Wow. Okay. So this is it." Nick said as he was being strangled by an invisible force.  Snowy rolled his big eyes as if to say 'You said it will be a breeze just ago.'

"Hey, I know what I said. You try coming out to deliver presents after who knows how long." Nick grouched. 

"Sorry Snowy. I'm just stressed out you know?" Nick apologized right after as he paced on the roof. Snowy nudged him on the back softly.

"Alright. I'm going to go." Nick said as he picked up 2 presents. He didn't move though. Snowy let out a huff and stomped his hooves.

"Fine, Fine. There's no backing out." Nick said as he carefully started to walk as if the ground he was stepping on was ice thin and would break any second.

It was a small house, with a small chimney.  The paint was chipping off the wall and the house looked really really old. Nick wondered if he had found the right place. Maybe the navigator was broken? Did really two girls live here? 

Nick rummaged through his pockets and pulled out the transporter. And with that, he was able to transport into the house.

I know what you're thinking. Whoa. If he had a transporter, then why didn't he just transport there in the first place? The truth is, the transporter isn't as stable as you think. The farther the destination is, the higher the risk gets. You don't know where you'll pop up if you try to transport yourself all around the globe. That's why Nick chose to transport through the good ol' sleigh. The sleigh was magical itself that it made it faster for him to transport anyways. He wasn't in a rush since he could stop the time anytime with the time holder. It was in the middle of the night now, and it would be perfect to stop the time after he delivered the presents that he was holding. 

The house was almost dark with the fireplace crackling, oozing warmth and a little bit of light. There was a little plastic tree right next to it. Even though the outer look of the house looked more like a haunted house, the inside was surprisingly neat. And even though it didn't really have an expensive interior, it all looked homely.

Nick smiled as he looked at the stockings hung up in front of the fireplace. The stockings were quite battered. Each had a name on it, 'Selena' and 'Sarah' written in a child's handwriting.

He touched the stockings gingerly and sat down in front of the tree to place the presents where the girls can see them as soon as they woke up. 

What he hadn't expected was a little girl's voice right behind him.

"Santa?"
