Powers: Holly bell can bring christmas cheer to any with her voice. She also has christmas magic. However she hasn't gained her symbol to use any of her powers. The only power that she seems to have is making it snow when she is happy and rain when she sad. However she isn't aware that she's the one doing it.
Story: HollyBell is the daughter of Santa Clause however unlike her other siblings she hasn't shown any signs of her power. Other than the Rain and Snow that she caused. However her family isn't aware that the rain and Snow are caused by Holly. Her father felt it would be better for her to spend a entire year away from her magical home so she could learn what Christmas Spirit is about. Her father feels it will help her understand the importance of Christmas and why she is important to her holiday. Unlike her other siblings Hollybell is special. She is the only child that can spread christmas spirit and cheer. With believe dwindling and christmas magic at it's lowest Santa and everyone she holds dear needs Hollybell more than she will ever know. Santa has tried to awaken Holly's powers but for some reason nothing is working. He believes the issue is Holly's heart. While she is joyful and as kind as ever she doesn't understand the importance of christmas or his job. He knows Holly feels left out and that she feels abandoned by him. However there isn't much he can do about it. He has to run the north pole and sadly sometimes that means having to put others first besides his family. Santa knows that at this point Holly has no interest in christmas or anything related to him. The only people she talks to now days is the elves and deer. She has stopped talking to her parents and siblings. Santa and the others know it's their fault for not spending more time with her but she has got to learn also that they can't always be around because of how important their jobs are.
HollyBell herself is worried because she doesn't have any magic like her brothers. She isn't special like the others in her family. She feels like her father is punishing her and sending her to the mortal world because he is embarrassed of her. She doesn't have the white hair nor the bubbly christmas spirit of her siblings. In fact she looks nothing like her siblings. She is bubbly but she lacks the excitement that her family has. Her brothers pushed her to the side along with her parents leaving her with only the elves and deer to be her friends and family. Her family has forgotten what it means to be a family. Her father says their job is more important but Holly knows that isn't true. Her family once ate meals together and spent time together. Now they are lucky to see one another in passing once a year for christmas. Holly feels like a failure being sent away. Her father never sent away any of the others just her. She wonders if everyone would think he is so nice if they knew how he sent her away for just being herself.
SilverMist
Silver Mist is the King of the forest and of Reindeer. He is Holly's personal guardian and goes where she goes. Just like Holly he has much to learn about himself and his importance. SilverMist was born the same night Holly was. Just like Holly he is immortal for the most part. However his father feels that SilverMist could do good learning about the mortal world with Holly. He can't be a king if he doesn't know anything about his realm or his people. His father believes sending him with Holly will turn him into a better leader and ruler. It will also make his bond with Holly stronger. He may be a King in waiting but for now he's just a boy who needs to grow up. He's also a best friend that needs to comfort his friend in need. For years the Clauses have had guardians with them that spend there entire lives with each other as friends. It's a bond that can't be broken. SilverMist has to learn the secret of his bond to learn his own magic and how to fly. He can't lead the reindeer if he can't fly or use his magic.

It's not just about love, but Valentinus is going to have to figure that out on his own. How long is he stuck here with the mortals? His father never specified but he did say it would be more than four months.
Fayeth Human form: Right ~ Normal form: Left
Story: Faythe is Valentinus' pet dove who has stuck with him since he was a child. In a way, you could say she's his guardian. Upon hearing that he was to be sent down to the mortal world, Fayeth of course went with him. Her job is to help him as much as she can in hopes that he realizes just how important Valentine's Day really is.
Holly woke as she found herself in the middle of the woods. She slowly open her eyes a few times as she tried to wake up. She smiled softly as she saw SilverMist was with her. " It looks like me made it. I guess we should try and find us some place to make our own. " She said softly as she saw how disoriented her friend looked. "Sorry you know my brothers have fun torturing anyone that goes through their worm holes. She said softly as she reached out and helped her friend up. Come on we need to find some place to make our own at least for the night. " She said as she started walking through the forest. However to her surprise she soon found a abandon cabin. It had seen better days and it was easy to see no one had used it in years. "Well it's forgotten just like we are. So why not call it home." She said to SilverMist as she walked up to the cabin and open the front door.
Silvermist shook his head as he looked around not liking the new home at all. He jumped along with Holly as the door broke off it's hinges from being so old and forgotten. "Oh yes this looks like a marvelous home!" He said being sarcastic as he ventured in further into the cabin. He shook his head looking around the old cabin. "The only thing holding this old thing together is the termites because they are holding each others hand. I don't believe this is acceptable for us! I don't understand why we have been sent to such a dreadful place. " He said as he saw how upset Holly looked by what he said. He felt pain as he saw the pain in her face. " Hey come on now it's not that bad we have each other. Come on let's rest and in the morning we'll work on this place if you like and turn it into a good home. Or we can explore more of this land." He offered as he transformed into his deer form. He nuzzled her arm lovingly then laid down in the middle of the old cabin as Holly joined him and laid against him. Silvermist nuzzled her softly as he stamped one of his hooves on the old floor causing plants, vines, flowers, moss and different vegetation to engulf the Cabin. "At lest now it want fall on us as we rest." He said as he drifted to sleep with Holly.
Groaning, Valentinus opened his eyes to see nothing but darkness. It was clear to him he wasn't on a cloud near a mountain anymore. He looked down at the dark grass beneath him and looked around for his friend. "Faythe?" he said to no one in particular as he stood up and brushed himself off. He didn't see his dove anywhere but he knew she had to be here with him, she always stayed close to him. Looking around, Valentinus sighed; he couldn't possibly stay here for the night. Where could he go though? "Faythe?!" he called out and shook his head. His pink eyes examined his surroundings, so this was earth? "What's the big deal? It looks rather...lonely." he muttered and decided he needed to move and look for a place to stay.
Faythe ruffled her feathers and flew towards Valentinus, turning into her human form as she did so. "Sorry Valentinus, I guess I fell to sleep longer than I thought I would." she apologized and smiled sheepishly. Faythe walked a little faster to keep with him and yawned softly. "I hope we can find some sort of place to spend the night. I'm still very tired and you need to get some rest as well." she pointed out as she walked with him through the woods. Looking around, she saw a cabin but when she pulled Valentinus towards it, she noticed it was covered in all sorts of plants. "No good, this place is uninhabitable." she commented and continued walking with him.
"Under a tree is fine Faythe, I'm extremely tired and so are you so let's find a nice tree to sleep under." Valentinus replied. His pink eyes looked at the various trees until he found one he liked even thought it looked just like the others only a bit bigger. "Here we go, this will be fine for tonight." he informed and lay down on the soft grass. He looked over at Faythe who smiled at him and lay down beside him to keep him company. "Goodnight Faythe, sleep well." he said then closed his eyes and easily fell to sleep.
Faythe smiled as she lay down beside Valentinus under a large tree. The grass was very soft beneath her and was actually very comfortable. "Goodnight Valentinus, sleep well." she whispered as he slept. Letting out a soft yawn, Faythe closed her eyes and fell to sleep at his side.
SilverMist woke slightly hearing the sound of something nearing the cabin. He could tell they weren't animals by how loud the walked. He kept his guard ready to defend Holly as he sighed happy to see the humans left. He looked down at his sleeping friend as he gently nuzzled her making sure she was asleep. He kept his watch for a while finally falling asleep once he knew that it was safe to do so. SilverMist sleep lightly waking up if he heard any suspicious noise. He was use to earth and forest. His father had taken him over summers to teach him. He knew the greatest threat was humans. However he knew that Holly couldn't stay in the forest forever. He knew that if she had it her way they would never leave this shabby cabin. SilverMist knew that tomorrow would be hard for Holly.
Holly put on a good front but he knew her better than any. Once she woke and saw the strange place they had been sent to with no warning it would shatter her world and break her heart. The thoughts kept him up for most of the morning as he laid there with her curled around him. He felt rather sad as he stared at Holly as she slept. Holly had a hard time in the North Pole because her family ignored him and forgot about her most of the time. In all honestly SilverMist and his family where more her family than her own. The elves where another family to her. SilverMist understood that Santa wanted Holly to learn her magic but he honestly felt sending her away from the North Pole was the wrong choice. Holly had never been with other humans she didn't know about them. She was just a child and to send her here with no knowledge, money, or anything was positively wrong. SilverMist was sure that Santa just over looked the matter of money and shelter for Holly but it only pained him more. Holly adored her family or she did however the more her family pushed her away the more alone Holly felt. SilverMist and the other Magical creators felt it was Santa's fault for Holly's late bloom in her magical abilities. None of them where happy in his choice to send her away. Holly's mother felt the same as the rest of the animals and elves. Mrs.Claus had used some christmas magic and made a bag for Holly that would provide her with food clothing or whatever she needed. Mrs.Claus had even went as fair to make Silvermist his own crystal necklace full of christmas magic. As long as he wore it he could use christmas magic to help him and Holly. It was a honor to receive a crystal.
Silvermist finally stood being careful not to wake Holly as he felt the crystal's strange power in his crown that Mrs.Clause had made him. He looked around the shabby cabin as he looked down to Holly. He smiled softly as he closed his eyes and focused on what he wanted the cabin to become. He focused as a golden light came from his crystal surrounding the cabin and the land around it. When it vanished a Cabin fit for a Clause stood. He smiled as he open his eyes looking around. The cabin was fully stocked and furnished. It everything down to clothes and shoes. He smiled as he peered outside from the new glass windows seeing the christmas trees and decorations. He knew this would make Holly feel like she was at home.
He walked over and picked her up caring her to her new bed and tucking her in. He went outside as he looked around at the land. It was beautiful outside. He looked up as he heard birds chirping and could hear a waterfall near by. He slowly walked around not finding any signs of humans wondering what he had heard. He could see that they where deep in the forest not a place most humans ventured. He could smell wonderful berries and the smell of wonderful flowers. The smells where making him hungry as he changed into his White Deer form and started to enjoy the wonderful flower and vegetation.
Holly woke long enough to see herself in a warm bed and hearing the sound of a fire roaring. She smiled softly knowing she was at home. She rolled over and feel back asleep thinking that everything had just been a nightmare. She loved how soft the bed was it and it was nice not to have to wake so early for choirs. She was tired and the bed was so warm it reminded her of her SilverMister. He was always soft and warm. She smiled as she sighed in her sleep just happy to be in a nice warm bed. She knew that soon enough her family would ruin her sleep some how. So while she could she was going to sleep.
Faythe woke up early the next day. The sun was just starting to rise so that mean that if there was a town nearby, it would be starting to come to life soon if it wasn't already. Looking to her side, she smiled when she saw Valentinus and sighed softly. What were they going to do? They didn't have a place to stay at or the money required to stay at an inn. Perhaps if they were lucky they could find a place to stay in exchange for housework. "Yes, we'll have to do that today. Hopefully we can find a town relatively quickly." she said to herself and sat up before nudging Valentinus awake. "Valentinus we must get up and go. Perhaps we can find a town, I have an idea that might work." she commented.
Valentinus rubbed his eyes as he sat up and listened to Faythe talk about a plan of hers. "A plan?" he repeated and looked up at the sky, noting just how early it was. "What plan do you have Faythe?" he asked and listened carefully to her plan. "I see..." he started and stood up with her. It sounded like it could work, but would there really be people willing to let two complete strangers into their home for free? "Faythe...are you sure someone would even be willing to do that? I mean, we are strangers to them and it isn't very smart to let strangers into your home you know." he pointed out with a pout.
"I know Valentinus but it's the only option we have right now and I think we should at least give it a try." Faythe explained softly. "Come along, let's see if we can find a way out of these woods and then we can look for the nearest town." she suggested and started walking through the woods, hoping to find the edge relatively soon since she wasn't a big fan of creepy woods. Faythe would look back at Valentinus and give him a small smile as they continued walking. She came to a halt though when she found a patch of snow. "Snow? Here? When...how?" she didn't see this last night. Motioning at Valentinus to follow, the two of them followed the snow until they saw a lovely cabin and a deer outside.
"I...I don't think we should be here Faythe. That, and I don't want to frighten or anger this deer." Valentinus whispered to his friend who looked at him and rolled her eyes before smiling. "This might be the only place we can live in while we're here Valentinus." she said to him and he shook his head. "Faythe I really don't think we can live here. Besides, someone probably already lives here since the lights outside are still on." he pointed out. This only made his friend's grin grow wider. He knew what she was thinking, to try out the plan here instead of looking for a town. "Faythe.." he whined and looked over at the deer, he really didn't think this was a good idea.
Silvermist turned his head abruptly as he heard someone approach. He found to his surprise two humans who stared strangely at the cabin and himself. He stood noble and tall as he gazed at the others. He noticed that one had pink hair and seemed to be worried. The other a beautiful women who seemed more excited than anything. He stood there for a long moment before slowly walking forward. He didn't feel threaten in the least by these two but he knew to be careful. The close he got to the pair the more he sensed something off about them. They felt like Holly full of power and kindness. He paused as he stared at him. He started walking forward as he stopped before the Ping haired boy and gazed at him looking him directly in the eyes. " Your not human you have power in you and much kindness." He said as he moved back and looked at the pair.
Silvermist bowed his head to them as he rose and spoke to them." I am called SilverMist. I am guardian of the Clause family. " He said as he suddenly turned back into his human form. He smiled warmly at the pair as he stretched a little before bowing once again." Forgive me for my rudeness. However one can never be to careful here in this world. You two must have been whom I heard last night. I see that my plants and vegetation kept you away. Come if you are hungry and want logging for the night please come this way. I will warn you my lady is sleeping and may be surprised. There are more than enough rooms for everyone. I believe there is some cookies on the counter and stew over the fire now." Silvermist said as he walked to the cabin opening the door for them and waiting for them to enter.
Silvermist smiled as he walked with grace and ease looking as if he was dancing almost as he gathered bowls for them all and drinks. He smiled as he hummed" deck the halls." He laughed as he leaped across the room seeming to enjoy himself as he fixed the large table for them to eat at. He fixed Holly a bow as he hurried and crabbed the pumpkin spice and started putting some into her cup of Cocoa. He put his finger to his lips for the others as he grinned. " One, two, three." He said as he counted down to how long it would take Holly to wake up smelling the stew and hot cocoa. He grinned and laughed as he heard Holly stirring from upstairs. "Works every time!" Silvermist said as he laughed and turned seeing Holly running down the stairs.
Holly had woken smelling the wonderful smells coming form the kitchen. She rain down the stairs without thinking as she paused hitting the bottom and looked around. Her eyes widen as she saw Silvermist and a pink haired boy with him along with a lovely dark haired women beside him. She looked to Silvermist who seem perfectly ok with them. Part of her wanted to panic but the other part trusted Silvermist discernment. Before she could freak out her eye caught the glitter of christmas decorations. She turned her attention to the Cabin it's self as she looked around at it in awe and horror. She frowned as she remembered where she was. Holly hung her head as she tried not to cry hiding her face with her hands. "I-thought we where home. So it wasn't a nightmare I really was sent away." She said as she tried to clam herself and slowly turned back to face the others. She smiled softly as she looked to Silvermist. " This was your doing wasn't it? So mom gave you your very own christmas crystal I see. She must have really seen goodness in you. Your heart must be full of christmas spirit to pull off this transformation. Thank you Silvermist." She said as she walked over and hugged Silvermist. She felt his arms wrap around her making all her worries and cares melt away. Holly smiled and gently moved away as she smiled looking at the table. " Please lets eat it looks wonderful thank you Silvermist. You really are a Prince." She said teasing him slightly as she looked to the others." Oh, I'm sorry where are my manners. I'm HollyBell I just arrived here last night with Silvermist." She said kindly as she smiled warmly at the pair.
Faythe smiled at the deer and gently pet the deer once it had approached. "No need to be frightened Valentinus, this deer isn't going to hurt us." she said quietly to Valentinus who looked terrified when the deer approached them.
Valentinus froze and widened his eyes as the deer walked over to them and then looked right at him. "Y-You can talk?" he asked and looked at Faythe who didn't seem scared in the least. How could she be so calm? "Silvermist....clause? As in Santa Clause?!" Valentinus gasped and grinned. His fear and worry from earlier completely forgotten. "Faythe we found the North Pole!" he chimmed happily and bounced in place then looked around and frowned. "Wait a minute...aren't there supposed to be elves here? Where's Santa? I need to let him know what I'd like for Christmas this year since I didn't get it last year.." Valentinus explained quietly.
Faythe sighed softly and shook her head. "You are not getting your bow or arrows Valentinus. Not until you learn the real meaning of Valentine's Day." she reminded and looked over at Silvermist. "It is very nice to meet you Silvermist. I am Faythe, guardian of Valentinus son of Cupid." she introduced herself politely and was surprised that he could turn into a human as well. "We thank you immensely for allowing us to stay the night. It is quite alright, we must keep our guards up in this new world we've arrived in." she agreed with a nod of her head and motioned for Valentinus to follow her inside.
Valentinus looked around inside the cabin in awe, it definitely looked like a house fit for a Clause. "Absolutely beautiful." he whispered to himself and watched Silvermist in the kitchen, seeming very happy despite not being with Santa. Turning, he noticed a girl at the bottom of the stairs looking both at him and Faythe then at Silvermist. He wondered if something was wrong and frowned slightly. He only felt worse when he saw how sad she was when she realized that she wasn't at the North Pole like she had thought. "H-hello.." he said to her and smiled at her. "I'm Valentinus and this is Faythe, we arrived here last night too actually." Valentinus informed.
Holly looked up as she smiled warmly at Valentinus. " Oh, hello it's a pleasure to meet you! Oh you did?" She said as she looked the pink haired man over. She smiled softly as she looked at Faythe. " Oh!!! Wait I know that name. You are the good list father seems to really like you. That's right I remember your siblings my brothers went to visit your siblings the past two to three years I believe. My brothers seem to really like your family. I forgot there where others like us. " She said as she frowned for a moment then put on a soft smile for Valentinus. " Yes I was sent here last night without warning. My father felt it would be better for me. You see unlike the rest of my family I haven't developed any powers. I think my family feels I'm a burden because I can't do anything special. And it's also the rule that if any children don't have magic they have to leave and live on earth with humans. I've never met anyone besides my own family and the magical creators of the North pole. Well until today. " Holly said giving Valentinus a warm and very happy smile. " So it's a pleasure to meet you. I don't have much to offer but your welcome to stay here as long as you like. I guess if this is going to be my home I need to meet the humans who live around here soon. I've never really seen any. I hope they are nice." Holly said as she smiled looking to Silvermist. " Why aren't you eating with us? "
SIlvermist looked to Holly as he laughed. " I was enjoying the wonderful flowers outside this morning. I'd offer you some but I know how you feel about my diet. Though I did smell some fresh berries around here. We could pick some and make pies for the animals here. There are many of kind creators here we can meet and befriend. I agree with you that it would be good for us to search out for the closet human village and see what it's like. However I'm afraid I'll pose a issue for you. I don't believe many people have deer that follow them. I'm afraid that a white one such as I are very rare here. There would be many questions. And I'm sure the locals would love to mount me and put me on the wall. I've learned about that hobby with my father on our trips here. With my impressive antler spread I'm sure the men will be lining up to hunt me. I have no time for such things. " he said shaking his head thinking of the men hunting him. " Shame I've been reduced to this. I'm a King and I have to hide in the forest."
Valentinus smiled as he listened to her speak. "I'm on the good list?" he repeated and grinned happily. Yes, our families are rather close aren't they? It's always fun when our families get together." he agreed. His pink eyes watched Holly and frowned slightly. He could tell she was upset to be here, and he hoped he could help her cheer up while he was stuck here too. "Holly that is not true. You are not a burden, you and I just have a lot to learn. Our parents didn't want to send us away, no parents ever want to send their children away but they did this to make us a better person. I know it doesn't look like this right now but overtime you'll understand the real purpose of this...training." he said to her softly and smiled brightly at her. He didn't want her to be sad, he wanted her to be happy. "Actually, Faythe suggested we go out and look for the nearest town. That's what we were planning on doing right now but we stumbled across your lovely home." Valentinus explained.
"If Silvermist is to stay behind then so shall I. I do not like the idea of leaving him behind. If you two find a town nearby then that would be lovely, perhaps you could find a place to stay at over there unless you'd prefer to stay here?" she commented.
"They already have a home here Faythe. If anything, we would just go to the town to meet people and probably learn more about the holidays we've been assigned to." Valentinus answered. "Are you sure you want to stay behind?" he asked Faythe.
Faythe smiled and nodded. "I do. I'll keep sir Silvermist some company and admire the lovely decor. Besides, if you need me you need only call my name Valentinus. I am sure your father will not mind me staying behind and letting you go off on your own. Just be sure to be back here before we start to worry about you both." Faythe said softly. She wasn't sure if Silvermist would even want her to stay with him but he didn't want to leave the poor man alone, it didn't seem very fair to her at all.
Holly looked to the food as she sighed seeing she wasn't going to be able to eat the food. She picked up one of the rolls as she dunked it in the stew and started to eat on it. She finished it as looked to Valentinus as she smiled at him." Well if that is the cause lets get going. We might meet some nice people. It could be a while before we get there so we should head out so we can make it back before night fall or try our best to. " Holly said as she smiled. She grinned as she walked over to the kitchen and picked up one of the large basket with a handle as she quickly filled it with different cookies. She then smiled as she walked over to Valentinus. " I'm ready to go now if you are. A cookie is always a nice way to bring a smile to someone's face." She said as she smiled feeling excited thinking of making people smile.
Silvermist smiled as he heard sweet Faythe offer to stay with him. " It will be a pleasure to have your company. " He said as he looked at the food and laughed watching Holly. " Be safe you two and Holly I'll be there with bells on if you need me." He said meaning it as he smiled looking to Faythe. " If you like we could make cookies or ginger bread houses, or we could even walk through the forest. The choice is yours and Master Valentinus I promise to keep your sweet Faythe safe in your absence. " He said as he looked outside." Holly you can always ask the local animals for help. Remember to always be kind and if it get's dark use your bell and I'll come for you." He said as he smiled at him lovingly.
Valentinus and Faythe ate their food happily. Valentinus looked up with a spoonful of food in his mouth. Swallowing, he blinked and looked at Holly. "Go....right now?" he repeated and smiled back at her softly. "Yes, we might meet some nice people that's true." Valentinus agreed and finished up his food, taking a roll for the road. "I think we should make it before it gets too dark." he commented and looked to Faythe. "I'll be back before dark, you be good with Silvermist." he said and looked back to Holly. "Yes, we can go now." he said with a chuckle, "I agree, people love cookies so I'm sure we will have no problem meeting kind people." he said and listened to what Silvermist said. "Thank-you Silvermist, I leave her in your care. I'll be sure to keep Holly safe as well, I promise." he said and looked at Holly. "Well then, we should get going." he said softly.
Faythe smiled and nodded. "Oh Valentinus I always behave. You both take care of yourselves, try not to stay out too late please." she said and looked over at Silvermist. "Oh making a gingerbread house sounds fun! We could make it and then I would would very much enjoy taking a walk through these woods. Perhaps once the children get back we can bake gingerbread men cookies!" Faythe suggested with a sweet heart warming smile. Working for Cupid had it's perks, she could always cheer people up with her smiles. "Please be careful!" Faythe called out as the children started walking off in search of a town. "Oh dear, I hope they'll be okay." she whispered to no one in particular.
Holly waved back at Faythe and Silvermist. " We promise to be safe!" She called out as she looked to Valentinus. " I'm very sorry I thought you wanted to leave right away. That's why I grabbed a roll for myself and hurried to eat it. I was under the impression you had no interest of eating back there. I wish I had known oh well. I have extra cookies for us as well." She said warmly as she smiled up at him admiring him. " You really are very handsome. I love your pink hair. But I'm sure you hear that a lot. Your very kind and have a wonderful heart. I can see why my father likes you. " Holly said as she giggled and walked along enjoy the beauty of the forest. " It's so beautiful here." She said as she looked up in time to see some of the local animals watching them. " Hello everyone!" She said warmly in a very joyful voice as she took a few of the cookies and crumbled them and left them on the ground for the animals. " I'm sure they will enjoy the treat." She said as she started walking again.
" May I ask you if there is another name I can call you? Valentinius is rather long thought it is beautiful. It might be better to chose another name to be called while you here. Some humans can be unkind and could make fun of your beautiful name. Or that's what I've read in the naughty book. I don't understand it but I'm sure I'll learn." Holly said as she smiled. She walked with Valentinius for several hours. It wasn't till mid day they came at the edge of the forest where a small village sat just a few yards away. " It looks like we did it!" Holly said as she smiled and lead the way to the small village. Holly was amazed as she looked around the small village with it's stone streets. She saw children playing and people going about their day. She watched as a lovely women greeted them then more and more people. The people seemed very friendly. Holly offered the cookies witch surprised many of the people. She made sure that she gave one to every person she saw young or old. Holly even went to the sick people and gave them a cookie. It seemed as if cheer and merriment filled the small village as Holly froze looking at a man who was trying to make his cart work. The will had fallen off and he looked like he couldn't figure it out.
Holly walked over to the cart as greeted him warmly and sat her basket down as she helped him and had the wheel fixed in a mater of moments. The man was over joyed. He seemed surprised that she offered to help him. She didn't stop there a women near by was having a hard time with some of the local children while she and the other women tried to do their laundry. Holly walked over and started to sing as she picked up one of the baskets and started to do laundry with the women. Suddenly the children joined in and started to help instead of causing mischief. Holly spent most of the day with the women and even helped fold all the clothes once they where done. The women where so impressed that they offered her and Valentinius a free meal complete with desert. The women tried to pay her but Holly refused their money. Instead she told them they should do something nice or someone else to pay her back. Holly noticed that some of the girls in the village seemed to like Valentinius and she couldn't blame them. He was rather dreamy.
Holly had noticed that there where many young men who looked like they wanted to ask some of the young women out but didn't have the courage to do so. She noticed because at the women's house her daughter was one of the maids. The women laughed as she watched the young man who fancied her daughter end up losing his nerve as her daughter came back from outside rather sad that the boy didn't ask her to the dance coming up. Holly looked to Valentinius and smiled if anyone could help it would be him. The people here didn't need magic they just needed pointers and kindness.
Silvermist laughed as he watched the children leave. " Do not fret my sweet lady they will be just fine. They both have good hearts and that will go far. Besides we can be at their side with bells on if they need us." Silvermist said meaning it as he got the ginger bread houses out and got the candy ready and the icing going for it. " You see my Holly and I have a strong bond so if something is wrong I'll feel it. Not to mention she wears a bell choker necklace. The necklace is infused with christmas magic witch is tied to my very crystal here." He said pointed to his crown. "Mrs.Clause herself made me mine. It was a honor honestly. Mrs.Clause is a magical creator so beautiful and full of joy and love. She is so lovely to be around. " Silvermist said as he stir the icing trying to get it just right. " It's a pleasure to meet another magical creator so many of our kind are gone or in hiding. It's nice to conversant with another and not have someone freaking out because you can speak. Humans are such strange creators. However I do plan on helping helping Holly find a few ambassadors while we are here. I even have Mrs.Clause special pins when we find them. Mrs.Clause taxed me with this special job. You see christmas spirit is what gives all of use our christmas magic from the North Pole. Without it there is no christmas. Holly is here for more than training to be honest. The reason we where sent without warning is something has happen to the christmas spirit. It was lower than normal witch gave us all concern. But the other night something very strange happen. The christmas spirit around the world suddenly dropped in half. It was as if at the same time around the world everyone stopped believe in good will and christmas it's self. That is why Santa sent up so fast. For some reason Holly is the only clause the sudden drop in christmas spirit hasn't effected. Santa said it's because the christmas spirit is the strongest in her. Santa is well aware of how Holly feels however he can't fix the issues with Holly because of his duty as Santa. Holly isn't wrong on how she feels and Santa himself has told me several times how sorry he was for how he and the others treat Holly. What little Holly doesn't know is that it broke Santa's heart to send her here. She also has no idea that the rest of her family is in danger and that's why they sent her here. Santa felt it was the best way to protect Holly and christmas it's self. Right now Holly is the only thing keeping the magical crystal alive. A sickness swept through the North pole last night that is why Santa used the last of his magic to send us here. Mrs.Clause didn't like the idea one bit because she worries for her Holly's safety. I was sent here because my father and my own family as all other creators that call the North pole home because suddenly ill and are losing their magical powers. My father felt I would be safer here and I could keep Holly safe. " Silvermist said as he frowned softly finished with the icing.
He placed it in bags for them and placed a few on the counter for Faythe to start her assembly of the house. "Santa said that the same things is happening to other holidays. He said it feared it was the work of a dark one. One of the magical keepers who wants to punish humans. I don't know honestly. However you and Valentinus look to be doing fine. So maybe Santa was over reacting." Silvermist said as he smiled and started putting his own house together and started to sing looking rather merry or trying to be.
Valentinus chuckled and smiled at Holly, "Thank-you. Being the son of Cupid has its perks." he said and laughed softly. "Well yes and no. I don't hear that a lot since the people I help are often too shy to say anything, it's really sweet though. Yes, I do have a kind heart, it's part of the job. I was born on Valentine's Day so Naturally, I'm a sweet guy. That isn't a pun for candies or anything." Valentinus explained and smiled at her. "You're a sweet girl too Holly, I can tell you must have a lot of friends. You're very easy to talk to." he noted.
"Another name?" Valentinus repeated and nodded. "Val, you can call me Val for shorts Holly." he answered. When they reached the town he grinned and looked at all the people walking around just going about their day calmly. It was nice to see other people. He watched as Holly went around helping everyone she could, just like a real Clause would. He wondered what it was like to have Santa as a father, he loved his father and was already starting to miss him. Looking around, he noticed girls looking at him with blush on their faces. He only smiled at them and chuckled when they practically swooned seeing that he had noticed him. He didn't want to say it, but he was used to this.
Looking at Holly and the situation, he nodded and walked over to the male. "Hey, Hey, Hey...where do you think you're going sir?" he asked but didn't let the male answer. "Look, I saw the way you behaved around that girl. You like her don't you?" he asked. When the male nodded, Valentinus did to. "She's cute isn't she?" he asked. Again, the male nodded. "I thought so. Look, she likes you too. A lot! She was hoping you would say something to her. I know you're nervous, I get nervous around a lovely girl but she's just as nervous as you are and right now she is disappointed because now she thinks you don't like her at all. Now then, we can't have her thinking that can we?" he asked. The male shook his head. "No we cannot, so why don't you go and ask her what you want to ask her. Ask her to join you for this dance I'm hearing about. I'm sure she would be more than happy to go with you okay?" Valentinus instructed and pulled out a pink envelope with hearts on it. "Just give this to her too. She'll love it. You're welcome." Valentinus added and walked back to Holly's side. "I think he'll do fine." he commented.
Faythe listened to Silvermist and frowned softly. The situation that they were going through sounded incredibly serious. "Oh dear, is there any way Valentinus and I could help? I could get Sir Cupid to help out too if it would help." she explained and started working on the gingerbread house. Seeing him frown, Faythe place her hand over his and smiled, "Do not be sad Sir Silvermist. I am sure that Holly and yourself will do a great job in saving Christmas and Valentinus and I will do all that we can to help you both out. It is the least we can do after all you have done for us." she explained and continued working on her gingerbread house happily. "I always loved making these, they are always so much fun, I feel bad for eating them. They are always so cute when they are done that it almost feels shameful to eat them after working so hard on them." Faythe commented and chuckled softly. "I understand how her parents would be heartbroken having to send their daughter away with no means of ever contacting her, but I know she will be okay, and so will you. We will all be okay. In a time like this positivity is very important you know." she added with a nod of her head.
Holly smiled and was very impressed with Valentinus. " I agree you did a really nice thing there. " She said as she watched the young man come back for the girl and do as Valentinus had suggested. She smiled as the women thanked them and hugged them. Holly smiled as she thanked the women and stepped outside. She started to walked as she saw a few empty rooms in a abandoned building upstairs as she called out to Valentinus. " Val! I found something for you. " She said as she smiled and peered into the abandon building. She slowly walked in as she saw possibilities for the large empty down sitars. She slowly made her way up to the rooms above that where perfect for a small living quarters. She open one of the balcony doors as she walked out and could see the entire village from the view. She looked around as she watched some of the young people having a hard time. She looked around the building as she saw many possibilities. She paused as she heard children and looked back outside as she saw a small group of kids. She felt her heart break as she heard one of them crying and saying that they wished they just had their parents. She felt bad as she saw how dirty they where and how hunger they appeared.
Silvermist laughed as he looked to Faythe. " Who says I'm worried? I believe in Holly she has never let me down. If anyone could save Christmas it's her. Besides as you said we have to be hopeful. And you shouldn't be anything but happy about eating the gingerbread house. They are meant to be eaten and to brighten your day all food is. We should try and live a live full of happiness." He said as he smiled at her and worked on his own ginger bread house. " We have plenty so feel free to enjoy yourself. You know they are lucky to have you. You are very charming and kind. I don't believe I've met such a lovely girl as yourself."
"Well I try my best." Valentinus answered and watched the male do as he had suggested. It was always nice to see people happy together. He was surprised when the girl hugged them though, it was a new thing for him. Looking at Holly, he quickly followed after her and looked around as they walked. "Coming!" he called back and ran over to where Holly was. He walked into the house and looked around. "An abandoned home.." he said softly and looked around at all the rooms. "I can tell it was a lovely home when it was first built." Valentinus commented. "Did you want to try and fix it up?" he asked and followed her up the stairs and over to the balcony. He ran his fingers along the railing and looked at the young children. "Orphans..." he said sadly.
Faythe smiled and nodded. "Yes, I believe she can do it, she might need some help though, especially if she isn't aware of this." she commented softly. Listening to what he said about the gingerbread houses, Faythe looked at hers as she continued adding some icing to it. "You're right Sir Silvermist. Oh and I do live a happy life, I enjoy spending time with Valentinus, he is always trying to cheer people up when they are down or trying to help them however he can. Couples are his specialty. Or just people who have crushes on someone and are too shy to say anything." she informed. Faythe started adding some gumdrops to the house carefully, making sure it looked perfect while listening to what Silvermist had to say. She blushed softly at his compliment and smiled. "T-Thank you kindly, you are a real sweetheart you know. Quite the handsome fellow yourself." she admitted as she worked on her gingerbread house.
"I was thinking we could if you liked. It looks like there are children here who need a home. What if you ran a business out of here and had them help? You would give them a home and a job. It looks like there are many people who need help with love. What if you open a love shop of shorts? What if we sold sweets and drinks and had a place where people could come and we sold sweet treats for people. You could give advice to people and I could help by delivering treats to people on behalf of the people that come in with notes from them. We could throw parties here for people to come and socialize. It's just and idea but I think you would be wonderful here. " She said as she looked to the poor children. "Cookies and presents can only go so fair. The people here need love more than anything. Look at those children they need someone to care for them. " She said as she looked to him and smiled.
Silvermist smiled as he heard her. He chuckled as he started working on ginger bread man and woman that he put in the front of his house using frosting to look like snow around his. He laughed as he finished his. He paused as he looked down seeing his crystal glowing. " It looks like Holly is up to some holiday cheer. I think she might be on to the meaning of christmas with how bright the crystal is getting. He said as it became bright and slightly blinding. "I think Holly has a Christmas wish I should grant." He said as he closed his eyes and granted the wish. Suddenly the light vanished and granted Holly's wish.
Holly turned as she thought she heard bells. " Do you hear the sound of bells?" She said as the building suddenly became slightly blinding. Holly closed her eyes as she slowly open them and saw that they where in a fully furbished apartment. " What on earth? Wait I know this..this is christmas magic but how? " She said as she looked around and smiled. " I take it this is how your home looks because it's not christmas themed so it isn't my home." She said seeing hearts everywhere. She got excited as she ran back down stair and was in awe of the new shop down stairs. " Wow it looks like something out of a fantasy. " She said amazed walked behind the counter and walked into the kitchen. She laughed as she looked around. "Well how do you make love treats for people?" Suddenly in a burst of golden light a very large book appeared and Holly managed to catch it as he peered down at it. " Wow.....I haven't felt christmas magic this strong in a long time. " She said as she read the cover of the book. "Recipes of love." She laughed as she thought about the children. Her eyes widen as doors suddenly appeared before her in the wall. "What on earth is going on." She asked as she walked into one and was amazed. It was a a tower full of lovely rooms that any person or child would dream to call their own. "Oh my I really haven't seen magic this strong. Wow...I wonder where it's coming from." She said softly . "But we could give those children a home and the people here love." She said as her bell on her necklace started to glow slightly with a bright gold aura around it as she smiled happily. The glow was beautiful warm and welcoming. It transformed the bell special markings appeared around the rim of the bell and a new bow appeared around it and special patterns in the fabric christmas poinsettia appeared around the bell. The glow slowly faded but there was something magical about the bell.
"Interesting, so it would be like two shops in one?" he asked and ran a hand along the walls. "It's possible. It will just take a lot of time to get it done Holly, but I'dbe more than happy to get it done!" he said and grinned widely. "Bells?" he repeated and looked out the window, trying to find the source of the bells. "I do, but I don't know where the sound is coming from." Valentinus answered softly then looked back at Holly. To his surprise he was momentarily blinded by some light and when his eyes adjusted again he noticed the place looked different. Hearts were on the walls and he jumped around like a child. "It does! This looks like my house and my room! Hearts! Hearts everywhere!" he chimed happily as he placed a hand on one of the hearts and felt a warm feeling in his chest. Valentinus quickly followed her downstairs and was surprised to see it fully decorated and furnished. "We can open today at this rate." he said as he ran a hand over the kitchen counter. "This is simply amazing! We can do this Holly, we have everything we need and I will help with the love treats. Heart shaped cookies are a must! We need pink and white icing and candy pearls." he listed and hopped around happily.
Faythe smiled as she finished her's and looked at Silvermist's gingerbread house. "That is very cute Sir Silvermist." she said and raised an eyebrow at what he said. "A wish? W-what did little Holly wish for?" Faythe asked with a smile. She always loved making wishes herself on shooting stars but they never did come true it seemed but she was still a happy little dove.
"Holly didn't wish for herself. She thought of others that is what christmas is about. Christmas magic is for making people's wishes come true that aren't selfish and are full of love. Love is the meaning of Christmas. Because if you show care witch is in turn love for your fellow human then you have christmas spirit. "Holly thought of others and apparently it was very powerful. Rather she knows it or not she touched what is the true meaning of christmas. Christmas is the spirit of love and kindness. It is hope just like all the other holidays we all feed off one another. "I'd say Santa was right to send Holly. Her first full day and she have already recharged my crystal and apparently the whole house." He said as he watched frosting starting to decorate the cookies and everything starting to work by themselves. "Oh my.....this could be a slight issue......" He said as cookies made themselves, put themselves in the oven and decorated themselves. "I hope the people in the village love cookies." He said as he watched the cookies float in the air and be bagged and a ribbon tie it's self around the bag then fall into a basket. "Huh so this is what strong christmas magic surge looks like. " He said as he laughed and held up his icing bag as it floated away from his hand and started to finish his ginger bread house. He laughed as he looked to Faythe as he smiled. "Why don't you make a wish it will come true. The christmas magic is strong here. I bet that it's also strong where Holly is. Witch could be a problem if ...oh not really OH that means Holly would have her crystal. That is exciting....Though that still means she isn't aware she can use magic so I guess we are still back to zero. At lest we have cookies and she has done something good." Silvermist said as he laughed.
Holly smiled as she nodded and laughed happy to see that Valentinus was so happy. She nodded hearing his request and flipped the book open to the exact recipe as she pointed at it. She smiled as a bright light appeared then she heard the sounds. She looked around as she noticed those cookies appeared along with other other treats. She was shocked as drinks appeared the shop was amazing and they already had deserts. " Oh my I'm not sure what is going on here. This isn't my doing. Or I know it's christmas magic but I didn't wish for these. She looked to Valentinus as she smiled. "These must your wishes coming true. Everything is full of love and hearts. So I guess we should go get those kids. Let me worry about clothes and things for them. I think I might be able to wish it for them. I haven't every experiences christmas magic like this. " She said as suddenly she heard bells and a bright light. She turned as she ran to the two doors and open them both as she saw each bed full of clothes and toys. " Oh may, maybe I should go with you. I have a feeling I'll know their names. If this is christmas magic witch I'm positive it is you'll need me. "
Faythe watched in complete amazement as the cookies baked themselves and got prepared in small bags with ribbons. "Oh my, this is amazing!" she gasped and looked around. Everything in here seemed to be working by itself which was very interesting to watch. "A wish?" she repeated and smiled. "Well.." she started and thought for a moment. She wasn't sure what to wish for, perhaps for the same thing she always wished for? Or perhaps a wish for someone else? "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try." she answered and closed her eyes to wish for love to enter her life at some point, she was patient. Or at least for Valentinus to learn what Valentine's day was about, either one would be appreciated. Opening her eyes, she looked down at the gingerbread houses and wondered what the two children where up to right now.
Valentinus read it aloud and started to get the things that were needed in order to make the heart shaped cookies. He stopped though when the cookies magically vanished, this was no fun. Why have a book if you couldn't use it? He shook his head and shrugged, I have no idea what's going on but it's impressive." Valentinus commented and listened to what she was suggesting. "My wishes?" he repeated, "I don't think so. I haven't wished for cookies to bake themselves." he said to her honestly. "Alright then you're in charge of clothing and other items. I'm in charge of food and spreading the love, got it." he said and grinned. "Come on then, we should get going before it gets dark out." Valentinus suggested.
"Of course!" Holly nodded as she started for the door. She walked outside as she saw the small group of kids. She had taken some of the cookies from the shop with her in hand as she approached them. The children looked a little scared as she gave them a warm smile and laughed softly as she held out the cookies for them. "Hello, I'm HollyBell we had some extra cookies and I thought you might like them." She said softly as the children smiled and slowly took one a piece. She smiled as she looked at each of them. Each one took a bite of the cookies and suddenly started to smile and laugh." There that's much better. Children should be happy." She said as she looked to each of them. " I have a favor to ask. You see me and Mr. Valentinus have open a shop but you see I can't leave him alone here. He is new and he has this amazing house and no one to share it with. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind staying with him permanently. It would be a big favor for me and I can show you something amazing." She said as she watched the children face light up. "Follow me please." She said lead them to the shop. She let them enter at their own will as the children seemed to me in amazement. It made her smile as she lead the way back to the rooms where the children went nuts. She laughed as the children came back after investigating the rooms and shop and looked at her. They didn't understand how everything in the rooms seemed to be for them. This just made Holly smile and laugh as she bent down in front of them.
" Well that's simple it's magic." She said as she saw them looked at her a little confused. " You see when you wish for other something unselfish and full of love it can come true here. But you have to be careful on what wishes you wish. Here let me show you." Holly said as she closed her eyes and made a wish. Suddenly a bright light appeared around the children as it faded the Children where clothed in new clothes and where clean. They each had new hairdo's and looked amazing. The children's mouths fell open as they looked at each other then at Holly and Valentinus. They children ran and hugged them both making Holly smile even more as she hugged them back. The children looked at Holly in awe of her. "It's not me it's the shop this shop is magical so remember that when you make your wishes. You see Mr.Valentinus here needs help running the shop. He needs help you see. Because Mr.Valentinus wants to help everyone find love. He wants to help people get over their fears of telling others how they feel about them. You guys already know everyone here and you can keep him out of trouble. " She said softly as the children smiled. " So what do you say?" She asked as she waited to see what the children had to say.
Silvermist stared at Faythe as he heard something. He walked to one of the cabinets as he pulled out a snow globe. He smiled as he looked at it. It glowed softly with a warm golden light as he brought it out and put it on the counter. "It looks like your wish is granted." He said as he saw Valentinus and Holly in the shop along with the children. He smiled as he looked at the globe. " The children look so happy it's wonderful to see. " He said as he looked to Faythe. " You know I believe we could wish ourselves there if you would like. There is no reason to worry about the children we just have to wish our self's in the up stairs of the building if you like. " Silvermist said as he saw it was getting dark.
Valentinus hugged the children and laughed softly at how energetic Holly was being. "Well yes, some help would be very much appreciated." he admitted and looked down at the children who were still trying to absorb all that had just happened in front of them. He didn't blame them, but they were very happy and they all nodded excitedly like children always did when something amazing happened. It was very cute actually and made everything worth it. "Well thank-you. I'm sure with your help I'll be able to help spread some love around here." he said and smiled warmly at the kids.
"Oh?" Faythe started and walked over to Silvermist and looked at the snow globe. "Oh my, that looks amazing! Everyone looks so happy!" she gasped and smiled as she watched how happy all the children, Valentinus, and Holly seemed to be. "We can be there?" she asked Silvermist. "Well...it is getting dark and I am sure Holly and Valentinus wouldn't want to travel in the dark." Faythe noted and thought for a moment. "We should go to check on them at least." she commented softly.
Silvermist smiled as he gently took her hand in his. " Very well my lady." He said as he smiled and spoke. " We wish to be with the children." Suddenly a white light wrapped around them. They vanished from the cabin and when the light faded they where upstairs in the building. Silvermist smiled as he grinned. " Pure wishes are always the essayist to grant. " He said as he lead the way down stairs. He smiled as he saw Holly and Valentinus along with the children near the bottom of the stairs. He quickly open his arms as Holly leaped forward hugging him happy to see him. He laughed as he gently put her down and looked at the children who stared at him in wonder. " Ah children full of wonder I see. They see me so they must have wonder and pure hearts and hearts full of the christmas spirit." He said as the children started at him looking at his antlers then his ears and tail. He laughed as he saw their faces. He bent down as he smiled at them. " I'm a little troublesome aren't I? I don't fit into the norm of what humans had chosen to believe in. You see children there is a realm of things that most humans and adults don't know about and can't see. Now stay there and I'll show you a trick." He said as he stood and suddenly transformed into his white reindeer form. He looked noble and mastic as the children all gasp in shock. He laughed as he stared at them and spoke. " See I thought you would like that. I am known as Silvermist. I am one of many magical creators that call the North Pole home. Once the earth was filled with magic and creators like me and much more. But humans stopped believing in us so we had to go into hiding. Please feel free to pet me if you like." He said as a young girl stepped forward and put her hand out. He leaned forward and touched his muzzle to her hand making the young girl smile as she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck or trying to. He smiled as he knelt down laying on the floor as the other children came around and surrounded him petting him and found amazement in him.
Holly smiled as she watched Silvermist. The children where so amazed with him. She could see that he was loving the attention. " He's such a ham for attention. " She said softly as she smiled. "He's right only those pure of heart and full of christmas spirit can see any animals from the North pole and hear them talk. To most they just look like a normal animal and they can't hear them talk. " She said as she looked to Valentinus. " I think this is a lovely ending for the day what do you think? " She asked as she looked around for Faythe. " If Silvermist is here where is Faythe I know he wouldn't leave her. " She said as she started to look around for the beautiful women.
Valentinus was busy baking red velvet cupcakes since they were his favorite and looked up when he heard noises upstairs. "What's going on!?" he called over and checked the time. Quickly he ran up the stairs and smiled when he saw that it was just Silvermist. "W-well she should be around here somewhere. "Faythe?" he called out and frowned when he didn't find her. "Silvermist are you sure you didn't leave her behind?" Valentinus asked and started to panic. His panic stopped when he felt something on his head. Reaching up, he removed a white dove from his head and laughed. "There you are Faythe! Show them your magic too." he said and threw her into the air.
Faythe flapped her wings slightly and as she flew down to the top of the stairs, she transformed into her human self and dusted herself off. "That was fun." she said and sniffed. "Valentinus, your cupcakes should be ready. Be careful not to burn them." she reminded and laughed as she saw him panic and run down the stairs to get the cupcakes which thankfully did not burn at all. "Oh the smell is wonderful in here! We noticed you all seem to be having a lot of fun in here." she said and smiled as she stood beside Silvermist and looked at Holly. "I'm very happy to see you all having so much fun." Faythe said happily as she placed her hands on her hips as her hair cascaded around her.
Silvermist stood as he turned into his humanoid form and gently wrapped his arm around Faythe letting his hand rest on her waist. He smiled as the children all giggled and then ran off to their room. He turned as he followed and tucked each one in bed and gave them a kiss on the forehead. Once they where all tucked in he came back out closing the doors as he looked at Holly who was eyeing him. "what?" He asked as he saw that devilish grin on her lips. " No ma'am! You get whatever thought out of your head!" He said knowing she was thinking something devilish. However before he could say anything else she vanished and suddenly music came on. He looked to Faythe as he smiled warmly at her and then looked to where Holly had fixed a table for him and Faythe. There where heart shaped cookies and a wonderful smelling drink. " Well I know this isn't the walk in the forest but If you like we could dance then try the treats that where set out for us." He said warmly.
Holly giggled as she went to where the muffins where and enjoyed their smell. She then looked to her stomach as she heard it grumbled and frowned as she wished she had something to eat that wasn't sweet. She could see this was going to be a issue. They needed food not just sweets. Holly looked at the pantry as she walked in and closed her eyes hoping for real food to be in there. She walked in and open her eyes as she saw nothing but supplies for baking sweets. "Oh man I was hoping it would work." She said as she sighed and walked back out looking at Silvermist. She smiled as she giggled. She could tell there was a spark between those two even if they didn't see it yet. Holly sighed as she looked around the shop she finally pulled out one of the heart cookies for herself as she peered down at it. " I'm not interested in a Mr.Clause you hear me. So no funny business. I'm hungry and your all I have you and all your friends. So no tricks. I just want some food. " She said as she glared at the cookie making sure it understood she wasn't wanting help with love. She finally took a bite as she smile and enjoyed the wonderful taste.
