Silver bells (NanoWrimo) (A holiday story)

December 1st

Today was the day they were coming. They announced it on TV 5 days prior and the whole world was hectic with mixes of emotion. I was so excited that I bought a whole new outfit for the occasion. I hope Michael would like it when I wear it to school that is. Getting up early, Amelia get ready for the day as soon as she could.

 "You need to slow down sweetie. I know it is an exciting Day," Dad says, and she slows down. "Thank you," he adds sipping his coffee.

 "Well I can't wait to see my friends again too you know," I say checking myself in the reflection of the window.

" Oh yeah you guys are hanging out after school?" he asks.

 "Yep! Can't wait!" she squeals taking an apple. "I am going to school early! Bye Dad!" she then runs out of the door.

 She took her car to school today, so she would stay warm. As she drove, it was then Amelia saw today was just perfect. It was a winter wonderland with a bright blue clear sky. Not much ice on the roads so they were just as busy. A perfect day for them to come visit.

 Getting to the school, she parks and head straight in. She noticed how busy the parking lot was that day; it was still a little early. Inside the school was no different, everyone was busy cleaning and decorating everything. They were all ecstatic for a strange reason.

 I look around and found William my lap partner, cleaning trophies, "Hey Will, what is with all this excitement?" I asked him.

 he turns, "You haven't heard?! The holiday ministers are coming here to visit before they go to the government house! Everyone is rushing to get ready!" he says polishing the gold-plated football. Oh right, I forgot I told them where I went to school and now we have a great reputation. Thank goodness mr. Halloween was supposed to be very busy today.

 An Hour Later

 "Hey look! TV cameras are here!" someone says. I look out with everyone and see 20; maybe more cameras and news people all outside. I stay planted in my place inside the school.

 "Look up at the sky" says a reporter and we look. There were the floating carriages from back on parents day at camp; everyone was awing and screaming as they came down.

 "You seem nervous kiddo," I look beside me and see my dad Dad.

"Dad how are you here?" I asked surprised.

" What a funny question? I wasn't going to miss this," he answers. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing." as I look back, the last one was the sleigh. my Michael was here, to save me.

 "Look! The Heirs to the minister names are here too!" says a girl near me .

As they step out, they were all wearing very nice clothes. Making it clear as to which was from which holiday. Thought what surprised me was Henry was wearing a suit, green of course but, I never have seen him this cleaned up. As they all came together; people were cheering and police had to hold back reporters and civilians. The pendant Council was all waiting on the lawn.

 I run out of school and stop on the steps. My desperateness almost got the best of me. As Amelia did so, it caught people's attention; then their attention. I start to smile wide.

 "Hey Mia," calls Henry, waving at me. And now everyone was staring at me.

 "Henry," I say with a brave smile. with everyone silent I make my way down to them. In the corner of my eye, I saw Cheerilee and the rest of the Pendant Council staring with pure terror. I have to admit that I loved it.
