Chapter 1
I don’t own the Santa Claus movies but I do own Thalia, Maud,
and Malaika,
Thalia skipped down the hallways, to see the one she was one
hundred and ten percent positive she was gonna marry.
“Bernard!” she tried to call as lovely as she possibly could
she wanted everything to be perfect, After
all, Her twelve year old mind reasoned today
could be the day he proposes. A charming scene popped into head.
~Thalia entered Bernard’s office/personal workshop carrying
a batch of her homemade cookies and a tall mug of hot cocoa, again her own
production.
“Bernard my love, I’ve brought you some cookies and cocoa,
that I made myself!” She flounced in with as much grandeur a twelve year old
could muster and then some. He tunred to face her, his face shining with love.
“Oh dear! I’m sorry the place is in such a mess!” He wiped
his hands on his apron. She smiled and swept over to him to brush bits of stuff
out of his hair. Such a sweeter scene there never was.
“Hush, it doesn’t matter.”
She placed a finger on his lips, he took the basket from her, he leaned
down and…~
“Are you going to stand there looking at my door or are you
going to come inside?” Bernard looked at her from inside his private workplace,
the place he resided in during off season hours. Thalia blushed and entered
holding the plate, realty sunk in a bit, and this reality was she was a twelve
year old human girl, he was at least
a thousand years her senior, and an elf, with a strict anti-interbreeding
policy. Add to the fact that these were not her special made cookies. She’d
been bugging Judy to teach her to make cookies and bugging Abbey to teach her
the elfin art of cocoa, but her skills were still sadly lacking, severely.
“Uhm Judy told me to take this and give it to you in here.”
She muttered blushing like mad.
“Thanks Kid,” he ruffled her hair, and her heart sank a
little bit but she kept strong.
“So what are you doing in here all by yourself?” she asked
hoping he heard the subtle hint within her words.
“Tinkering, like any other good elf.” He laughed. She smiled
weakly and gave a sad little chuckle.
“Oh come on smile! You’re the gloomiest kid I’ve ever met!”
She tried to smile a bit bigger but it’s hard when the person you love doesn’t
see you as anything other than a child.
“Oh hey almost slipped my mind,” so looked up in hope as she
watched him fish something out of his pocket… Keys… to his… workshop… hope
never was very long-standing.
“Come on Kid your Dad wants to see you.” She followed
frowning and sighing. It was her twelfth birthday today, and everyone, save for
her siblings, seems to have forgotten.
I mean, if it was closer to the working season
then I’d understand or if births were more common around her. Even Bernard
seems to have forgotten what today is; well maybe not… maybe he’s just waiting
for me to say something! Okay, okay I’ll do it!
“Hey Bernard what’s today?”
“Uhm the… 19th why?”
“The nineteenth.” He
didn’t get it.
“Yeah…”
“Never mind.” She was rueful that he didn’t remember. Didn’t
seem like he cared, but this was… expected, after he’s at least a thousand so
why would he take interest in a twelve year old girl? Especially his boss’s
daughter, she was only really setting herself up for heartbreak, especially
from someone like Bernard. They proceeded through the workshop where a gaggle
of elves worked to get ahead of the Christmas rush.
“Hey Kid, do you think you could head over to your father’s
office yourself? I have some stuff in my workshop to finish.” Hope leapt up
again. Is he…?
“Okay,” She nodded and walked the rest of the way. Her
father sat in his big chair in front of the hearth, her mom and sisters were
already awaiting her, alongside her family there was the rest of the council,
so what ever was to be spoken this was a formal situation; which meant be on
her best behavior and no nicknames.
“You called for me father.” She intoned politely.
“Uhm well sweetie the council and I have been discussing you
and your sisters and we uhm have come to the conclusion…” He scratched his neck awkwardly.
“What your father is trying to say is we feel that you’re
not broadening your horizons sufficiently because of your location. Hehehe.”
She gave a nervous chuckle as she struggled for a way to explain to her twelve
year old daughter in a gentle way.
“So basically you’re saying we’re not getting all the
experiences we need at the North Pole, so we should eventually leave to go get
said experiences?” She asked thinking that it would be when she was eighteen,
so she’d have some time to prepare.
“Uhm Sis, you remember the 239 subparagraph B clause 33296
of the Elfin Work Statutes?” Maud’s dry dark voice inquired
“Yes, as laid down in the year 806 by the Santa Claus
Nikolaus Shilzoski to quell the insurrection of unqualified elves entering the
work force, the Elvin work requirements law was passed, stating the all persons
of citizenship to the North Pole must upon reaching the age of adulthood, be
qualified to enter a specific field of the work force or face permanent
deportation from the North Pole. But what does that have to do with us?”
“She remembers all that? Impressive.” The Tooth Fairy
complemented.
“Our daughters are brilliant.” Mrs. Claus quipped.
Maud spoke again. “Thalia, we turn into adult in six years,
and none of us have any skills.”
“But the law was meant for Elves who mature at the age of
three-hundred!” She cried.
“But we don’t mature that slowly, the law states any citizen
of the North Pole, we were born here that makes us citizens by birth and we
have six years to find an occupation or we’ll never be able to return.” Thalia
sighed in defeat.
“When do we leave?”
“Today in an hour…”
“What?!” she breathed she was leaving in an hour. Tears
prickled at her eyes but she held them back.
“Okay just let me say my goodbyes and pack my things.” They
nodded.
“Be quick about it.” Mother Nature cautioned, as Mrs. Claus
sobbed. Thalia nodded and walked out with her sisters.
“I think it’s stupid,” Malaika muttered. “After all we could
learn traits from the elves here.” Maud simply made a noncommittal ‘hmm’ Thalia
remained silent.
Malaika pressed on with no qualms “And Bernard! And Curtis!
Neither of them stopped to think about us before going ahead and saying ‘Sure
great idea!’” She finished with a pout. Thalia’s lips parted in shock.
“Bernard suggested this?” she whispered.
“Yeah him and Curtis were the ones to bring up the law.”
Maud said in her dry tone
Thalia couldn’t believe it. Bernard had been the one… that’s why he didn’t want to go with me to
dad’s office; he didn’t want to be there when we found out. Thalia was by
no means a stupid girl, at some level she knew Bernard wouldn’t feel the same
way towards her, at least not when she was still a child, and frankly she
really didn’t want him while she was still twelve, that had moral deficiency
written all over it; regardless, it hurt that he would throw their friendship
away like that. It was cruel how casual he was.
“Bastard.” She murmured after she gave it some thought.
“Don’t cuss, but yes indeed.” Malaika said. Maud, who aside
from her mom, and the rest of the workshop, knew her of sister’s crush on the
Head-elf was a little shocked at the abrupt change of sentiments for said elf.
Malaika rushed into her room to begin trying to figure out away to pack every
last item in there, but with out magic it was almost impossible with the sheer number
of plush animals she owned. Maud followed Thalia into her room.
“Ain’t ya gonna go pack?” Thalia said as she pulled open
drawers and emptied them of their clothes placing the neatly folded articles on
her bed by a certain category based on the clothes type. Maud shook her head at
the sight but held her tongue.
“Already did, used magic to find out ahead of time and
packed.” Thalia whirled around and clamped her hand over her sister’s mouth.
Yes her and Maud had the ability to use Christmas Magic, Malaika, however, did
not, neither could there mom. However Maud’s was fading, fast, once she was
able to do great things with her abilities, but earlier on they started to
dissipate now she was just able to use it to listen in on other peoples
conversations every once in a great while. She and Thalia suspected she would
eventually lose all abilities together. Maud found she really didn’t care
really.
“Shh! If Malaika herd you…” It was no secret Malaika loved
the North Pole, but she would eventually end up as every other mortal, ageing
and eventually, sadly dieing. Mom didn’t have to worry about that though,
through magical bondage through marriage she would live as long as Dad, but if
he ever died, so would she. But poor Malaika was doomed to the mortals span.
Needless to say the sweet little Malaika would have gone Ape-Shit-Postal for
magic so she could live in the North Pole forever making toys for kids. But she
was mortal as Maud had become, she no longer possessed enough magic to sustain
herself eternally. Thalia sighed at her lot, obviously fated to be the last
sister.
“She didn’t hear me, she’s too busy dealing with those
stupid stuffed things of hers. But that’s not my immediate concern right now.”
“Oh what is?” Thalia snapped back as she tried to stuff her
clothes into one of the suit cases she owned from when her parents had sent her
to the Caribbean to visit her Grandparents.
“Bernard’s a bastard now? And magic’s much faster you know.”
Thalia growled at that.
“Yes, he is, and Malaika is right across the hallway…”
“Oh hang it will ya? What the hell’s up? One Minute your all
‘Someday when I’m older we’ll get married’ then you go, ‘He’s a bastard’” Maud
snapped, her sis was being a ‘tard and Maud was not know for her patients.
Thalia stopped what she was doing and sat down on the suitcase snapping it
shut.
“You know that I never intended to marry him until I was
older, it’s just that, well I thought about it and he’s never really been
particularly nice to me, just in comparison to how he treats you guys it is, he
doesn’t even remember my name, it’s always ‘Kid’; it’s frustrating and really
not worth my time to stress over.” She sniffed. Maud smiled, she was proud, her
sister was getting out of his shadow.
“Well, you know what you have to do? Get great at something
and shove it back in his face.” Thalia
chuckled at that thought and continued packing while Maud made her way to the
door to see if Malaika needed any help. As she reached the door she turned
around and looked back on her sister silently working at packing her things and
thought.
One day Thal, you’ll be back here all grown up and sexy, and I just
hope I’ll be there when he slips on his drool. But you will be back and I have
no doubt you’ll get your elf, it just may take a few years and a body to cause
a train wreck, and an impressive diploma from some highly respected institution
about some almost impossible field that could be applied up here. But that’s
totally you anyways. She smirked at her thoughts and left to check up On
Malaika because, while she loved her sister terribly, she was a ditz.
“Oi! Mal! Need any help?”
“Yes, very much so.” Came the muffled reply. Maud sighed and went to dig
Malaika out of her plushy avalanche, leaving Thalia to her own.
The three girls plus three mountains of luggage sat in the
middle of the town at the appointed place, but so far the Council was an hour
late. Finally Maud out of sheer boredom dug out her CD player and latched her
huge headphones on and tuned out the world. Malaika started to build snow
sculptures, and Thalia was sitting on top of five trunks banging her heals in
the side playing her PSP finally after abut another half hour Mother nature and
the rest of the Council showed up. The Maud and Thalia stashed their things
away and Malaika got up from trying to make snow ants and walked over to her
luggage.
“Now, girls are you aware that the North Pole will not be
able to keep tabs on you while in the ‘real world’?” The girls shook their
heads no. Mother Nature sighed
“When you were born you weren’t added to the roster of
children because figured that if you got in trouble your parents would know,
and being that your parents are Santa and Mrs. Claus they could withhold your
presents that way instead of making them then never delivering them.” The girls
nodded in understanding.
“Well since your heading out to where they can’t keep an eye
one you and it’s too late to add you to the list, your just going to have to
behave on your own. Is that understood?” The girls nodded again.
“Good! Now stand in a circle please” They followed the
instructions, but made sure to stand next to their luggage as well.
“Good, now closer your eyes and see you in six years girls!
Have fun! And remember learn a skill!” The girls vanished.
Thalia opened her eyes to see she was inside an apartment, a
rather nice one at that.
“Mal! Maud!” She called but no answer.
“HELLO?! ANYONE HERE?” looking around she saw a letter on
the table.
Dear Thalia,
Due to a foreseen
incident you and your sister have been split up. Don’t worry they’ll be fine! I
have taken all the necessary arrangement as it was I who foreseen it! You’ll
find this apartment completely paid for. (Your welcome.) You’ll be attending
the Local High School on the twenty-first of
August, your books will already be paid for, take whatever course you’d like.
There is an allowance of two thousand and five hundred dollars for food and
clothing, spend it wisely, you only get it once a month, come August if your
grades are good you’ll get more, if not then it will stay the same, it is advisable
to get a permit once your allowed, then a license and a car, till then you’ll
walk to school but it’s only six blocks. At then precise end of six years
you’ll be brought back (You have Five years three hundred and sixty-four days,
twenty-three hours, forty- two minutes and sixteen seconds left, or you could just look at the
hourglass behind you) regardless where you are. And remember have fun.
Love,
‘Uncle T’
P.S. You can call home
but it takes an extreme amount of magic so use it only for emergencies or the
day of Christmas Eve .
Uncle T.
