Clara's POV:

"Clara"

"Clara..."

"Wake up Clara"

"Clara"

"WAKE UP!!"

"AHHHH"

Tiger Lily has been trying to wake Clara up since early morning, but Clara was in deep sleep. The only way was to scream in her ear. Unfortunately she screamed too loud causing Clara to tumble off the bed to the ground.

"What was that for?!" She yelled as she got off the floor and sat on the edge of the bed.

"You wouldn't wake up" Lily said so innocently

"You know when someone doesn't wake up that means they're tired and need more sleep" Clara said annoyed with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.

"Sorry" Tiger Lily fluttered her eyes.

"Why are you waking me up anyways?"

"It's breakfast..."

"Oh my god really? Just for that?" Clara sighed, "I am not even that hungry"

"You're still sad aren't you?"

"No" she said as she laid on the bed once more

"You are...look Clara, Neverland doesn't end. When you're in Neverland, you're in eternity"

"Yeah I know that..."

"Good, then you know that many Christmases will come, and they'll be endless"

Clara paused for a second thinking about what Tiger Lily has said. She has a point; I am making a big deal out of this. The truth is the only reason Clara is acting this way is because Eventhough she never had a happy Christmas, her hopes were never high. The thought of celebrating never crossed her mind. She always knew on that day she will either be shipped to another foster home or end up cleaning the house. But this time she actually had hope, and she was so close to getting their but at the end her hope was gone and she was crushed.

"Yeah...I guess you're right"

"How about we go have breakfast and while we eat we talk more about this Christmas thing, sounds good?"

"Yeah sure"

"Good, now come on" Lily said as she grabbed Clara's hand, pulled her out of the bed, and dragged her outside the tent.

"So why do you decorate trees on Christmas?"

"I don't know...I guess it's a tradition or something"

"Man, Christmas here would have been great" Tiger Lily sighed. "We have a tree in each corner on this island"

"That's true but it's not just about decorating a tree for the fun of it, it's when you and your family pick a tree together and agree on a decoration to put up...I guess this is why I never had a happy Christmas, because I don't have a family" Clara sighed looking down at her untouched plate.
