Leena and Max do a Nutcracker play for the kids. Merry Christmas!
"Max's POV"

"Twitch! I can't see!" "Sorry Max!" I couldn't see a thing with the hat blocking my view see I'm dressing up as the Nutcracker from the story because we're doing a Christmas play for the little kids at the Festive Festival. "Is this the uniform Higga had me wearing when I was doing royal training?" I asked as I pulled on the collar...it defiantly feels like it. "Alright Max here's your sword" the professor came giving me a fake foam sword and he started pushing me "Come on! Get to backstage and wait there until we're ready!"
"Third Person's POV"

The play was being held at the town center which is also where the festival is "Settle down! Now easy kids! Whoa!" Kara was trying to keep the kids entertain until the show started but for now he was an elephant bar trying to prevent the kids and himself from falling. Max was watching the whole thing and got Spike to bring snacks for the kids so Kara can be free from kid watching "I saw that jungle boy, at least you saved General Kara from being overpowered by cuteness"
"Leena's POV"

I saw Max whispering to Spike to help Kara and I approached him as he saw my costume. I was playing as the ballerina from the story so my outfit had different tones of periwinkle with glitter leaving my long sleeves white as snow, I was wearing long purple sparkling socks, my ballet shoes were made of ice crystals and it's color resembled the northern lights. My hair was was in a bun with bangs plus a north light colored streak and I was wearing an ice blue tiara with a purple gemstone...I felt really shy.
"Max's POV"

Leena looked so beautiful, she rubbed her arm in shyness as she looked away a little "Leena you look..." "Max!" I winced from the professor's voice as he came running "we only have one minute" I shook my head in surprise...it's already almost show time? "Come on! Places everyone!"
"Third Person's POV"

Everyone scurried in a rush to get the show ready...it's a surprise no one tripped or anything. The curtain opened showing an ice castle background, Max was the Nutcracker, Leena the ballerina, Zinti the sugar plum fairy and Twitch the rat king. Max appeared which made the kids excited, his ears perked at someone singing(remember in Kombatei where Leena sang? Check the video).
"Max's POV"

I saw the spotlight center on Leena she was standing on her toes her arms out before she started dancing and sang "la laa la la..." Spike and Bella came out as the snowflake sprites dancing with her. Her outfit sparkle from the spotlight and she started making her way towards me, she made a leap across me and landed beside me, I stared at her amazed I mean she is pretty agile but not like that.
"Third Person's POV"

The story went as planned, Leena would get taken by the Rat King and her crown would drop as a clue for Max to follow, Max would defeat the Rat King and save Leena. Max placed the crown back on her head as they held hands and Leena kissed Max on the cheek with the curtains closing and the audience clapping.
"Leena's POV"

"That was great Max! You did great!" I complimented him I was really nervous during the show and I'm so glad it's over "You were great too Leena I don't think anyone could've pulled the ballerina role other than you" he told me taking the hat off as he smiled "Thanks" "By the way your outfit..." I looked at him as our eyes made contact "What about it?" "You look like a princess" I blushed a deep pink from his compliment looking away "Thanks and as always your the hero" we both laughed at that part but then I froze when he grabbed my hand, he tilted his head pointing to the backstage.
"Third Person's POV"

They both got outside and went to the center of the festival "Watch this" he let go of her hand and pulled out the lion staff. "You two ready?" He asked on the communicator meanwhile in the air with the Phoenix, Spike and Twitch had these glass balls with green, blue and pink frozen ice inside "Yep. Let's light up the sky" Twitch said as they prepared the confetti canon "Lion Strength!" The glowing lions came out of the staff while Twitch and Spike threw the balls, together combining the sky was illuminated with the northern lights.
"Max's POV"

Everyone awed at the surprise me and my friends looks like the professor's splash glow balls work great. I turn to Leena who looked like a little kid at a parade, I held her hand again and we made eye contact "Like it?" "It's amazing Max!" "Yeah I got it from you" She stared at me puzzled "Me?" "Leena tonight you look amazing and your outfit reminds me of the northern lights" I told her stroking the bright colored streak in her hair "It wasn't easy in such short notice but I was able to pull it off, Leena...you are my princess of the northern lights. Your kind, beautiful, talented and full of surprises. You'll always be my princess".
"Third Person's POV"

Leena stared at Max smiling as she took a step closer "Max...thanks. And you are definitely my Nutcracker" she told him as the two shared a kiss "Merry Christmas Max" "Merry Christmas Leena" the two shared a dance under the bright colored sky...definitely resembling the story.
