Christmastime at the Plaza

chapter 2

Nanny woke up instantly and went to see the little girl she had been looking after for a long time for Eloise and Giselle's mother who was halfway around the world right now.

"Nanny's the best," Eloise told her friends as they went to the bedroom the babysitter stayed in. "You'll like her."

"I haven't seen Nanny since you were in nursery school." Giselle smiled.

"She sounds nice." Estelle said.

"Yeah, she really does." Akito said.

Eloise, Felicity, Akito, Giselle, and Estelle were all in the room where Nanny was with her hair messed up from sleeping, her nightgown and slippers and the woman reacted in shock as she saw the kids.

"Finished my morning route!" Eloise saluted.

"What? What? We haven't had breakfast yet and you let strangers in our room, and--" Nanny stopped. "Giselle, is that you?"

The girl grinned. "I just got off for winter break!" 

Giselle and Nanny shared a quick reunion hug. Akito, Estelle, and Felicity then introduced themselves after the reunion hug. 

"Nice to meet you all," Nanny smiled at them. "I apologize for being rude just then, I just got out of bed, I wasn't aware Eloise had went out for her morning run yet. Where are all your parents?"

"My Maman and Papa told me to come with Akito and Estelle and Eloise to make friends." Felicity explained her reason.

Giselle went to the spare room to get her coat off and reveal her boarding school uniform as she got settled back with her little sister.

"Our mother is with them." Estelle said.

"And your father?" Nanny asked.

"He was called away on a case to solve." Akito said.

"Well, stick with us until then I suppose." Nanny mused. 

Eloise hopped onto Nanny's bed and reached to the hotel room phone and called on it, waiting for an answer. "Hello, it's me, Eloise," she introduced, then made a breakfast order and allowed her friends to have what they wanted too. 

Felicity, Akito, and Estelle decided to take off their winter coats for now since they were indoors. They then hung up their winter coats.

Eloise hung up the phone and took them to where she slept. "I have my very own room, which I keep rather nice, because when it isn't, I can't find a thing, including Skipperdy and Weenie."

The room seemed to be decorated for Christmas, along with due to Eloise being a little girl, most of it was pink, including the vinyl record in her player where the turtle was and there was a Pug dog with a white beard and red and white hat. 

"Your chein dresses up?" Felicity sounded confused.

"Yes, he does, he's dressed like Santa Claus." Eloise hugged her pet.

"Who is this Santa Claus?" Felicity tilted her head in slight confusion.

This caused Eloise, Estelle, and even Akito to gasp.

"What?" Felicity looked at them.

"You don't know who Santa Claus is?" Eloise couldn't believe her ears.

"Uh-uh...." Felicity shrugged.

They explained to Felicity of who Santa Clause was. 

"Oh... I never hearded of him..." Felicity sounded excited now like a normal child on December 24th, Christmas Eve, for the arrival of this man who traveled by reindeer.
