A Very Character Christmas Dinner
Author's P.O.V
"Hurry up Before we're late! We have to leave in literally like two minutes!" I shout up the stairs of the Clearwater's home.
A loud feminine voice shouts down the stairs and I sigh in irritation "We'll be down stairs in a second, if you didn't want us taking a long time you should have just wrote us already at the party!" I glare as the person shouting back at me appeared at the top of the stairwell. Alexandria stood clad in a beautiful dark red and purple dress decorated with stars, the moon and in the middle of the dress was the shadowy figure of Santa's sleigh.
From out behind the young demigod stepped out Nico and Seth both dawning black suits. They walked down the stairs together and when they reach the bottom I glare. "Stop breaking the fourth wall Alex, I don't have enough duct tape to fix it."
"But doesn't you just being here crack the fourth wall?" Seth asks and I freeze before chuckling nervously.
"Never mind that wolf pup," I say pulling a small note book out of my purse "Lets just hurry up on to the house now." I open the book and take out the pen I stuck inside, I only write down two words.

The four of us teenagers appear at the door of a small apartment building and I knock hard as Alex grins. "I like shadow travel better because of the thrill but that was good too."
The door cracks open and a small grey eye peaks out cautiously before swinging it open fully. Standing wide eyed in the door way was a small grey eyed dirty blonde haired boy dressed in a polo and jeans. I step forward and grab the child into a huge hug almost lifting him off the ground. "THEO! HEY BUD! WHAT'S UP?!"
Theodore Elliot squirmed and struggled against my iron hug before finally giving in. From behind Theo a cough was heard and everyone averted their eyes to a tall woman smirking behind Theodore. Jeanette pulled Theo away from me and ruffled his hair telling him to go inside.
"Hey Nichelle, I'm glad you guys could make it."
"Yep, though I am surprised you decided to let us have the dinner here, considering I haven't even posted your book yet"
"Oh we don't really mind, besides maybe meeting us before the posting of the book will get more people to read it."
I wave my finger before stepping into the home and past Theo and Jeanette "Bad girl Jean, you shouldn't be a gold digger for votes." I grin and take a quick glance around the home before frowning. "It looks like we're missing somebody, we'll have to-"
A small but tiny body is dropped on me and I let out a yell of surprise. As the author it wasn't often a character could sneak up on me but it seemed this one particular OC of mine had a nack for it.
Expertly shifting Calder off of my back and onto my hip I let my grin widen. Two other OCs join Calder in greeting me, Calder's brother Phoenix and their mother. "Hello Nichelle, we are honored you saw fit to have us attend your dinner tonight."
Waving her off I laugh and pat Phoenix on the shoulder "It's no problem really, I invited all my OCs and plus some. Just look around and you should be able to find them all."
It was true, almost all my OCs were here for the dinner whether they were people from current books or upcoming ones or even ones I decided to take down permanently. In the far corner of the room was a blonde haired blue eyed girl named Zaria from Ouran Academy chatting it up with another Ouran student named Yuudai. A teen with pitch black hair and striking blue eyes sat talking to Nico and her brother Percy, her name was Orabelle. Winteral Marie Dayton who was a quiet 16 year old but she seemed to be enjoying her place beside a woman by the name of Amelia Frost. Amelia's sister was laughing along with a man name Uriah Fanning. There were others dotted around here and there such as Iris, Rai, Shimata, Rozalia, Bella, and Justin.
I liked having all my OCs together and getting along even if I knew the peaceful coexistence wouldn't last long. I decided to approach the wildest bunch first mostly because they had a tendency to make your author over here laugh. I walk up to Rai, Calder, Rozalia, Theo and another little girl named Ersilla who was Zaria's sister.
"Hey guys, hey Ersilla" I greet the others before turning to one of the youngest of the bunch "how do you feel? Do you feel sick at all?"
"No," she shakes her head "thanks to your notebook that you carry around with you I'm temporarily cured of my illness. I'll have to go right back to the hospital after the party though."
"I know," I shake my head sadly "I'm sorry I have to do this to you Silla, but it's for the story so I hope you can forgive me."
She goes to nod but gets knocked over by the orange haired ball of sunshine that is Rai. "Sill! Oh Sill! We never get to see each other outside of events like this! You get to see author-chan all the time so come hangout with me now."
"Hey you brat! I was talking to Ersilla first if you hadn't noticed and beside Silla and I hardly get to hang out because I've been a little busy lately."
"That's really your own fault," Theo speaks up "You should really make more time for your creations."
"We'll excuse me for being busy with upcoming finals, working on 12 updates of Christmas and writing for Time Runs Out and The LetterSender."
Rai pulls on my sleeve and let's two tears fall "Does this mean that you are putting Yuui and I's book on hold? Are you gonna delete our book like you did the others?"
Apparently everyone around us heard Rai's question because pretty soon I had tons of glares and even a few demigod weapons pointed in my direction. Nervously I raise my hands and take a step back "Now, now guys there's no need to look so violent" yet the large group kept advancing on me. "I swear I'm not deleting any more of your books" but they kept coming towards me and I start to scream.
