The First Noél Elf

[Esteban’s Wife]

Chapter 1
Noél Meets The Head Elf Bernard

It was 5 days before Christmas and the Elves and Santa were getting ready to meet their newest Elf and her name is Noél. It was also Noél’s birthday. As Noél was walking around Santa’s Workshop, the Jolly Old Elf himself Santa and his Head Elf Bernard walked up to her and introduced themselves. When Noél saw Bernard she fell head over heels in love with him. She managed to hide her feelings from Bernard really well.
“Hi, I’m Santa.” Santa said.
“Hi, I’m Bernard. I’m Santa’s Head Elf.” Bernard said.
“Hi, my name is Noél.” Noél said.
“Welcome to the North Pole, Noél.” Santa said.
“Thanks Santa.” Noél said.
“Bernard I want you to show our newest Elf around the workshop?” Santa asked as he was walking off.
So Bernard is showing Noél around Santa’s Workshop.
“Noél that is a very beautiful name.” Bernard said.
“Thanks Bernard. It’s french for Christmas.” Noél said.
“Well it suits you perfectly.” Bernard said.
“Thanks again, Bernard. You are so sweet.” Noél said.
“Thank you and you’re welcome.” Bernard said.
As Bernard continued to show her around she couldn’t stop looking at him because he was the most Gorgeous Elf that she has ever seen in her entire life.
“What are you thinking about, Noél?” Bernard asked.
“Oh just nothing, Bernard. Nothing at all.” Noél answered.
“Are you sure?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I am postive.” Noél answered.
“Oh ok. If you say so.” Bernard replied.
“If he ever finds out that I am in love with him I am not sure what would happen.” Noél thought to herself.
All day Noél was thinking about Bernard and how she wished that he was her boyfriend.
“Noél is so beautiful I wish she was my girlfriend but she might not think the same way towards me as I do towards her. If I tell her I’m in love with her she might not feel the same way and she might run off and never want to talk to or see me again.” Bernard thought to himself.
Just then Santa came up to them.
“So Noél how did you like the tour of the workshop?” Santa asked.
“Your workshop is so big and Bernard is such a great tour guide. I am going to love working here.” Noél answered.
“Well I am glad that you like it here so much.” Santa said.
“Yeah so am I.” Bernard replied.
“So how would you like to be Bernard’s assistant?” Santa asked.
“WHAT!?!” Bernard and Noél asked in shock at the same time.
“That’s right Noél you are going to be assisting Bernard on everything that he does around here.” Santa answered.
“So she will be with me at all times?” Bernard asked.
“That’s right.” Santa answered.
“Cool.” Bernard and Noél thought to themselves at the same time.
“By the way Santa today is a very special day for me.” Noél said.
“What do you mean by that?” Santa asked.
“Well today is my birthday.” Noél answered.
“Well than happy birthday, Noél.” Santa and Bernard said at the same time.
“Thanks so much.” Noél said.
“Santa can I have a moment alone with Noél?” Bernard asked.
“Sure thing, Bernard.” Santa answered.
When Bernard said that Noél was wondering why he wanted to have a moment alone with her.
“So Bernard why do you want to have a moment alone with me?” Noél asked.
“Well there is something that I want to tell you.” Bernard answered.
“Really?” Noél asked.
“Yes.” Bernard answered.
“So what is it that you want to talk to me about?” Noél asked.
“Well ever since I first saw you earlier today I have been wanting to tell you something since than.” Bernard answered.
“What is that?” Noél asked.
“I’m in love you, Noél.” Bernard answered.
Noél was shocked and surprise that he said that to her.
“I (gulp) am in love you, too, Bernard.” Noél managed to say to Bernard.
“Really you are?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I am.” Noél answered.
“I didn’t think that you felt that way towards me.” Bernard said.
“I also didn’t think that you felt that way towards me either, but now I know that you do.” Noél said.
“Come with me, Noél.” Bernard said.
“Where are we going?” Noél asked.
“You’ll see.” Bernard answered.
So now Noél and Bernard are alone where no one can see or hear them not even Santa.
“Well we’re alone now Bernard now what?” Noél asked.
“Well there is some I have been wanting to give you all day.” Bernard answered.
“What’s that?” Noél asked.
“Oh it’s this.” Bernard answered as he moved closer to Noél and started kissing her passionately.
As they continued kissing each other passionately Noél’s foot popped. A few minutes later they broke the kiss.
“Wow. That was an amazing kiss. You are a great kisser, Bernard.” Noél said.
“Thanks so are you.” Bernard said.
“I finally got my birthday wish.” Noél said.
“What was your birthday wish?” Bernard asked.
“Well my birthday wish was for you to kiss me like you did and become my boyfriend.” Noél answered.
“It looks like you did get your wish. I am glad that your birthday wish came true.” Bernard replied.
“Yeah so am I.” Noél agreeing with Bernard about her birthday wish coming true.

Chapter 2
Christmas Eve

It is now Christmas Eve the busiest day of the year for Santa and his Elves. At that very moment Noél and Bernard saw someone new wandering around the workshop.
“Uh, Santa, it looks like we have a new Elf joining us today.” Bernard said.
“You’re right, Bernard. I wonder who she is?” Santa told Bernard.
“Oh her name is Holly.” Noél said.
“How do you know that?” Bernard asked.
“She’s my best friend and I thought that I was never going to see her again.” Noél answered.
Noél walks up to Holly.
“Hi, Holly.” Noél said.
“Hi, Noél.” Holly said.
Just then Bernard walked up to Noél and Holly.
“Noél who is your gorgeous friend here?” Holly asked.
“This Bernard and he is Santa’s Head Elf.” Noél answered.
“So how would you like to go out with me sometime?” Holly asked.
“Sorry, Holly but I am already taking and I love my girlfriend with all my heart.” Bernard answered.
“Just my luck he is already taking.” Holly said.
“Oh, Holly I am Bernard’s assistant.” Noél said.
“What does that mean?” Holly asked.
“That means that I get to help him with everything that he does and I get to be with him all day everyday.” Noél answered.
“That’s right. She has been the best assistant I have ever had.” Bernard said as he wrapped his arms around her.
“Bernard can I talk to Noél for a moment alone?” Holly asked.
“Sure you can.” Bernard asnwered.
Now Holly and Noél are out of earshot of Bernard and the other Elves.
“Ok, Holly were alone now. What did you want to talk to me about?” Noél told Holly.
“I was wondering if something is going on between you and Bernard?” Holly asked.
“What are you talking about?” Noél asked.
“I saw how he wrapped his arms around you and the way the two of you look at each other.” Holly answered.
“Oh well don’t tell anyone that I told you this, but Bernard is my boyfriend and I’m his girlfriend.” Noél replied.
“You’re his girlfriend.” Holly said.
“Holly shh. I don’t want the other Elves finding out about Bernard and I just yet.” Noél whispered to Holly.
“Why don’t you want anyone to know just yet?” Holly asked.
“Well Bernard and I don’t want to let anyone know yet because we are afraid of what everyone will say or do if they found out. We especially don’t want Santa to know because Bernard is afraid that Santa will fire me and I will be banned from seeing Bernard.” Noél answered.
“Are you going to tell everyone?” Holly asked.
“Probably when the right time comes.” Noél answered.
“When will that be?” Holly asked.
“You’ll see.” Noél answered.
A few minutes later Noél and Holly are with Bernard then all of a sudden Santa comes over.
“There you are Holly, I was looking for you.” Santa said.
“You were? Why?” Holly asked.
“I want to ask you something.” Santa answered.
“What is it that you want to ask me?” Holly asked.
“I was wondering if you would like to be Bernard’s other assistant?” Santa asked.
“NO!!!” Bernard and Noél yelled at the same time.
“Why not?” Santa asked.
“I don’t want to share Bernard with Holly.” Noél answered.
“Yeah and I don’t want to have Holly with us at all times.” Bernard added.
“I was thinking that Holly could be your helper.” Noél said.
“Yeah she could be Santa’s Little Helper.” Bernard said.
“That is a great idea you two.” Santa said.
“Thanks Santa.” Bernard and Noél said at the same time.
A few minutes later the Elves were loading Santa’s sleigh with all the Christmas presents.
“Holly why don’t you go with Santa and help him past out all the gifts?” Noél asked.
“That is a great idea, Noél.” Santa said.
A few minutes later it was time for Santa and Holly to take off and deliver the presents.
“Wait, Santa here’s your hat.” Noél said.
“What were you doing with my hat, Noél?” Santa asked.
“Oh, well Bernard and I modifed it and you can use it as a walkie talkie you talk through here (as she pointed to the puffball at the tip of his hat) and Bernard and I can here you.” Noél answered.
“Thanks Noél and Bernard.” Santa said.
“You’re welcome, Santa.” Noél and Bernard said at the same time.
Now Santa and Holly took off and a few minutes later they were no longer in sight.
“Ok, Elves you all know what you have to do now.” Bernard said.
“Ok, Bernard.” The Elves said.
Now the Elves are no longer in sight and now Bernard and Noél are alone.
“Where did they all go?” Noél asked.
“They go where they always go every year.” Bernard answered.
“Where is that?” Noél asked.
“Their rooms.” Bernard answered.
“Oh ok.” Noél said.
“Now let’s go to our room.” Bernard said.
“You read my mind I was going to say that same exact thing.” Noél said.
Now Noél and Bernard are in their room and they are kissing each other passionately because they couldn’t do that all day because they were with the Elves and Santa. A few minutes later they broke the kiss.
“I’ve been wanting to do that all day.” Noél said.
“Yeah me too.” Bernard said.
A few minutes later they heard Holly talking to Santa over the walkie talkie.
“Santa there is something that I have to tell you?” Holly said over the walkie talkie.
Just then it dawned on Noél what Holly wanted to tell Santa.
“Holly don’t say it please. I know what you are going to tell him so please don’t tell him just yet.” Noél said over the walkie talkie.
“Are you hiding something from me Noél?” Santa asked.
When he said that she didn’t know what to say.
“Bernard what should I tell him?” Noél whispered to Bernard.
“Tell him that you will tell him later.” Bernard whispered back to Noél.
“Santa you will find out when the time is right.” Noél answered Santa over the walkie talkie.
“Oh, ok. Over and out.” Santa said.
Noél let out a long deep sigh.
“What’s the matter Sweetie?” Bernard asked.
“I was wondering when we should tell Santa about us.” Noél answered.
“I was thinking that we should tell him tomorrow.” Bernard said.
“But tomorrow is Christmas.” Noél said.
“Yeah I know.” Bernard said.
“How will we tell him about us?” Noél asked.
“I don’t know but I know that we will figure something out.” Bernard answered.
“I just thought of something.” Noél said.
“What?” Bernard asked.
“I was thinking maybe I could sing three songs and if anyone asks who the songs are dedicated to then...” Noél started to say.
“Then you could say they are dedicated to me.” Bernard added.
“That’s right.” Noél replied.
“So what songs are you going to sing tomorrow?” Bernard asked.
“You’ll see, Sweetheart. You’ll see.” Noél answered.
After that Bernard and Noél were kissing each other passionately and then they started making love to each other for the rest of the night.

Chapter 3
Christmas Day

Now it’s Christmas morning. Bernard and Noél are just waking up.
“Morning, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Morning, baby.” Noél said.
“Merry Christmas, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Merry Christmas, baby.” Noél said.
Just then they started kissing each other passionately. A few minutes later they broke the kiss.
“Are you going to tell me the songs you are going to sing later that you are dedicating to me?” Bernard asked.
“No not yet.” Noél answered.
“Why not?” Bernard asked.
“Because I want you to be surprise plus these songs are my Christmas present to you sweetheart.” Noél answered.
A few hours later Noél and Bernard were with Santa and the other Elves.
“Santa can I sing three songs right now?” Noél asked.
“Sure you can.” Santa answered.
“Thanks, Santa.” Noél replied.
“You’re welcome.” Santa said.
Now Noél is singing the songs to Santa and the Elves.
“Everybody I am going to be singing three songs right now and these three songs are dedicated to a very special someone. I know he knows who he is.” Noél said as she winked at Bernard.
The first song she is singing is called “If We Were A Movie.”
“This first song is called If We Were A Movie.”
Uh oh
There you go again talking cinematic
Yeah you!
You’re charming, got everybody star struck.
I know
How you always seem to go
For the obvious instead of me
But get a ticket and you’ll see
If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
You’d fall in love with
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black
Show the names
Play that happy song
(Yeah)
Yeah, yeah
When you call me
I can hear it in your voice
Oh sure!
Wanna see me
And tell me all about her
La la
I’ll be acting through my tears
I guess you’ll never know
That I should win
An Oscar for this scene I’m in
If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
You’d fall in love with
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black
Show the names
Play that happy song
Wish I could tell you there’s a twist
Some kind of hero in disguise
And we’re together
It’s for real
Now playing
Wish I could tell you there’s a kiss
Like something more than in my mind
I see it
Could be amazing (could be amazing!)
(If we were a movie!)
If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
You’d fall in love with
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black
Show the names
Play that happy song
If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
You’d fall in love with
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black
Show the names
Play that happy song
If we were a movie
You’d be the right guy
And I’d be the best friend
You’d fall in love with
In the end we’d be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black
Show the names
Play that happy song.
“This next song is called “One In A Million” and the special someone that I am dedicating this song to is one in a million.” Noél said.
How did I get here?
I turned around and there you were
Didn’t think twice
Or rationalize
cause somehow I knew
That there was more than just chemistry
I mean I knew you were kinda of in to me
But I figured it’s too good to be true
I said pinch me
Where’s the catch this time
Can’t find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in a blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I cannot believe it (o woah)
You’re one in a million
All this time I was looking for love
Trying to make things work
They weren’t good enough till
I thought I’m through
Said I’m done
and stumbled into the arms of the one
You’re making me laugh about the silliest stuff
Say that I’m your diamond in the rough
When I’m mad at you
You come with your velvet touch
Can’t believe that I’m so lucky
I have never felt so happy
Every time I see that sparkle in your eyes
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in a blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I cannot believe it (o woah)
You’re one in a million
All this time I was looking for love
Trying to make things work
They weren’t good enough till
I thought I’m through
Said I’m done
and stumbled into the arms of the one
I said pinch me
Where’s the catch this time
Can’t find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in a blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I cannot believe it (o woah)
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in a blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I cannot believe it (o woah)
You’re one in a million... one in a million
You’re one in a million.
“This last song is called Bigger Than Us.” Noél said.
L.O.V.E. oh
L.O.V.E.
L.O.V.E. oh
L.O.V.E.
I see your face, I look in your eyes
What you feel is no surprise
Everyone needs something to believe in
Tell me your dreams and I’ll tell you mine
In our hearts we’ll look inside
And see all the colors of a rainbow
I know
We all want to believe in love
We all want to believe in something
Bigger than just us
We all want to be a part
Of the greater picture
That’s hanging in our hearts
Yeah it’s bigger than us
I want to see beyond my own little world
Grab your hand so we can twirl around the galaxy
See the world with clarity
Oooo, oooo we have such a long way to go
But I know, we’re getting closer every day
We all want to believe in love
We all want to believe in something
Bigger than just us
We all want to be a part
Of the greater picture
That’s hanging in our hearts
Yeah it’s bigger than us
It fills the universe
Lights the skies above
And rescues all our hearts with love (L.O.V.E. love)
With love...(L.O.V.E. love)
That’s what’s bigger than us (bigger than us come on!)
It’s love it’s love that’s bigger than us
It’s love it’s love that’s bigger than us
It’s love it’s love it’s love it’s love it’s love it’s love
We all wanna believe in love
We all wanna believe something
Bigger than just us.
“So Noél who are those songs dedicated too?” Santa asked.
Noél looks at Bernard and he nods his head to her which that tells her that she can tell them who she is dedicating those songs too.
“Well all three of those songs are dedicated to my boyfriend and my boyfriend is none other then the Head Elf himself Bernard.” Noél answered.
Santa and the Elves mouths dropped open in shock.
“When has Bernard been your boyfriend?” Santa asked.
“Since my first day here which was my birthday and that was 5 days ago.” Noél answered.
“And you kept this all a secret from all of us?” Santa asked.
“Yeah we have.” Bernard answered.
“All but one.” Noél answered.
“Who is that one?” Santa asked.
“My bff Holly.” Noél answered.
“Holly you knew and you didn’t tell me?” Santa asked.
“Yeah I knew and I was going to tell you yesterday when we were delivering the gifts.” Holly answered.
“She was going to tell you but I told her not to tell you.” Noél replied.
“Is this what you were talking about yesterday?” Santa asked.
“Yes it is, Santa.” Bernard and Noél answered at the same time.
“Why did you wait until today to tell me and the other Elves?” Santa asked.
“Well we wanted to wait for the perfect moment and today seemed to be that day.” Bernard answered.
“Are you sure that the two of you are boyfriend and girlfriend?” Santa asked.
“Yeah we are.” Bernard answered.
“Do you not believe us, Santa?” Noél asked.
“No not at all.” Santa answered.
Bernard and Noél were shocked and surprise when they heard Santa say that.
“Do you want proof?” Noél asked.
“Yes I do want proof.” Santa answered.
“What do you want us to do?” Bernard asked.
“Kiss of course.” Santa answered.
“What type of kiss do you want us to do? A short quick kiss? Or a long passionate kiss?” Bernard asked.
“If you do a short quick kiss than you aren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, but if you do a long passionate kiss than you are boyfriend and girlfriend.” Santa answered.
So Bernard pulled Noél close to him and at that very moment they were right underneath the mistletoe. Bernard then started kissing Noél with all the passion he had in him. Two hours later they broke the kiss.
“Is that proof enough for you Santa?” Noél asked.
“Yes it is. You two kissed each other passionately for two hours.” Santa answered.
“Yeah we know.” Bernard replied.
“Why did you kiss for two hours?” Santa asked.
“Well once we start kissing like that we can’t stop.” Noél answered as she and Bernard snuggled close to each other.

Chapter 4
New Year’s Eve

It is now New Year’s Eve. All day Santa and the Elves were getting ready for the New Year’s Eve party. Bernard and Noél can’t stop looking at each other.
“I can’t wait until midnight tonight.” Bernard said.
“Why is that?” Noél asked.
“So I could kiss my girl that’s why.” Bernard answered.
For the entire day Santa and the Elves continued to get everything ready. It is now a few hours later and it is now a minute before midnight. Santa and the Elves were counting down from 60.
“Noél I would very much like to sing you a song right now.” Bernard said.
“I would love to hear you sing.” Noél said.
Bernard is now singing the song called “Kiss Me At Midnight.”
Kiss me at midnight
(5...)
hey yeah...
(4...)
oh...
(3, 2, 1!)
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing’s right
Kiss me at midnight
Kiss...
I’ve been waiting for the special night
To be with you
The colors of Christmas are still shining bright
And I know what we’re gonna do
Anticipating, music is playing
The magic is in the air
All through the season
You’ve been the reason
I have so much love to share
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing’s right
Kiss me at midnight
Kiss...
Kiss me at midnight
Kiss...
We’ve been making promises in the dark
Our resolutions
As a brand new year is about to start
And we’re together.
Celebrating, no more waiting
Our time has arrived
The beat in my heart
As the countdown starts
Just look into my eyes
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing’s right
Kiss me at midnight
Baby, it’s New Year’s Eve
Time we can believe
In making wishes
Dreams come true
Just for me and you
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing’s right
Kiss me at midnight
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing’s right
Kiss me at midnight
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends....
After Bernard sang that song it was now midnight and Bernard and Noél are kissing passionately as Santa and the Elves looked on. A few minutes later Bernard and Noél broke the kiss.
“Happy New Year!” Everyone shouted.
“Happy New Year, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Happy New Year, baby.” Noél said.
“You are so lucky, Noél.” Holly said.
“Why is that?” Noél asked.
“Because you have a gorgeous boyfriend and you got to kiss him at midnight on New Year’s Eve. I don’t have anyone for my very own. I wish that I had someone that loves me as much as Bernard loves you.” Holly answered.
“I am sure you will find someone Holly.” Noél replied.
“Noél is right you will find someone that will love you for who you are.” Bernard said.
“Yeah I know that, but when will I find that special someone?” Holly told Noél and Bernard.
“You’ll know, Holly, you’ll know.” Noél said.
“Yeah when the time is right.” Bernard added.
“Thanks, Bernard and Noél.” Holly said.
“You’re welcome.” Bernard and Noél said.
A few minutes later the party was over and everyone went to sleep.

Chapter 5
Noél Saves Christmas

The New Year goes by and it is Christmas Eve again. All the Elves are busy making all the toys for all the girls and boys around the world. Jolly is the Elf in charge of the toys. The rest of the Elves are toy makers except Abby. She’s the one that makes Santa’s cocoa and Tannon is Curtis’s best friend. Tannon also works with the toys too. The names of the other Elves are: Alexander, Ebenezer, Natalie, Christopher, Nicole, Jules, Christa, Nicholas and Quintin.
“How are the toys coming along everyone?” Jolly asked.
“They’re coming along great Jolly.” Christa answered.
“That’s great.” Jolly asked.
A few minutes later Noél noticed that Santa was changing.
“Santa can I talk to you?” Noél asked.
“Sure what is it, Noél?” Santa asked.
“You are changing.” Noél answered.
“What do you mean by that?” Santa asked.
“You’re thinner and your beard is shorter.” Noél answered.
Santa looks in a mirror nearby and notices that Noél is right.
“You’re right Noél I’m getting thinner. But why is that?” Santa told Noél.
“I can answer that for you.” A voice said.
When Santa and Noél turned around there stood Jack Frost.
“Jack Frost what are you doing here?” Santa asked.
“Well I am here to take over your job and ruin Christmas.” Jack answered.
“You can’t do that!” Santa yelled.
“Oh yes I can and I am taking this beautiful Elf with me.” Jack said as he grab Noél by the arm and took her away.
~Meanwhile at Jack Frost’s Lair~
“What do you want with me!?!” Noél asked in a yell.
“You are going to become my Snow Queen.” Jack answered.
“I will never be your Snow Queen!” Noél yelled.
“Oh yes you will.” Jack demanded.
“No! Never!” Noél yelled.
Just then Jack tied her to one of the ice pilars in his lair.
~Meanwhile back at Santa’s Workshop~
“Santa where’s Noél?” Bernard asked with a worry look on his face.
“Jack Frost took her to his lair.” Santa answered as he was getting thinner and thinner and his beard was getting shorter and shorter.
“We have to save her.” Bernard said.
“Yeah I know we do.” Santa as Scott Calvin said.
~Meanwhile back as Jack Frost’s Lair~
“You’ll never get away with this Jack!!” Noél yelled.
“Who is going to stop me?” Jack asked.
At that very moment Scott and the Elves came through the door of Jack’s lair.
“We are!” Scott and the Elves shouted.
“What are you going to do to stop me?” Jack asked.
Just then Scott and the Elves and Jack were having an ice and snow war and Noél was still tied to the ice pilar.
“Jack let Noél go!” Scott shouted.
“I will not let her go until she agrees to be my Snow Queen!” Jack shouted back.
“I will never be your Snow Queen!” Noél yelled.
“Oh yes you are.” Jack said as he was turning into Santa Claus.
“Jack don’t make me do this!” Noél yelled.
“Do what?” Jack asked.
“This. SCOTT GET BERNARD!!” Noél shouted.
So Scott got Bernard and Bernard went over to where Jack had Noél tied up.
“Noél!” Bernard said excited to see his girl.
“Bernard!” Noél said excited to see Bernard.
Bernard tried and tried but he couldn’t untied Noél from the ice pilar.
“Jack untie her at once!” Bernard shouted at Jack Frost.
“Um, no I don’t think so. Not unless she agrees to be my Snow Queen.” Jack said.
“She will never be your Snow Queen at all. Now untie her.” Bernard said.
At that very moment Bernard went to Jack and tried to stop him but Jack put his hand up and something came out of his hand that sent Bernard flying across the lair. Noél saw the whole and that made her mad. It made her so mad that the heat from her body melted the ice rope that was tied around her. When she was free she ran over to Bernard.
“Bernard, sweetheart, are you ok?” Noél asked.
“Yes I’m fine.” Bernard answered.
“Oh thank goodness. I don’t know what I would do if I lost you.” Noél said as she helped Bernard to his feet.
All of a sudden Jack Frost noticed that Noél wasn’t where he had tied her up.
“What are you doing over here, my Queen?” Jack asked in an angry tone.
“I am helping the love of my life and I am not your Queen.” Noél answered.
Jack did something else to Bernard which made Noél extremely mad. Then Noél stood in between Bernard and Jack Frost and she held up her hand and was giving Jack Frost an evil look and she was like that for an hour or so. Then before everyone knew it Jack went into the air and exploded and that was the end of Jack Frost. Everyone cheered and Scott turned back into Santa. Bernard got to his feet and went over to Noél.
“Noél you saved my life.” Bernard said.
“Not only that she saved Christmas.” Santa said.
“Awe thanks. I was protecting Bernard. Because I would be lost if I lost him. He means more to me than anything else. I love him more than life itself.” Noél said.
At that very moment Bernard and Noél started kissing each other passionately. A few minutes later they broke the kiss. Then before Noél knew it Bernard got down on one knee.
“Noél, sweetie, you saved my life so now will you be my wife? Will you marry me?” Bernard asked.
At first Noél was speechless than she answered him.
“Yes, yes I will marry you.” Noél answered.
“So when are you going to have the wedding?” Santa asked.
“I was thinking a year from today.” Bernard answered.
“So next Christmas Eve we are going to be husband and wife?” Noél asked.
“Yes we are, sweetie.” Bernard answered.
Now everyone is back in Elfsburg and Bernard and Noél are alone in their room kissing passionately and making love to each other.

Chapter 6
Noél Meets The Stewart Family

It is now New Year’s Day.
“Noél I would like you to go to Malibu, California and stay with the Stewart family that lives there.” Santa said.
“Why?” Noél asked.
“Because Jackson Stewart hasn’t been nice and I want you to make sure that he is nice all year.” Santa answered.
“Does that mean that I have to stay there for the entire year?” Noél asked.
“Yes it does.” Santa answered.
“I was afraid you were going to say that.” Noél replied.
“Why is that?” Santa asked.
“Well I just don’t want to stay away from Bernard for that long.” Noél answered.
“Yeah I don’t want that either.” Bernard replied.
“I’m sorry but I need Bernard here.” Santa said.
“Oh ok. Fine. I don’t know how I am going to survive a whole year without Bernard.” Noél said.
“You’ll do fine, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Thanks, baby.” Noél said.
“Noél under any circumstance you are not to tell anyone that you are an Elf.” Santa said.
“What if they see my ears?” Noél asked.
“Then you should cover your ears with your hair and don’t let anyone touch your beautiful braids.” Bernard answered.
“Ok. I won’t let anyone see my ears or touch my hair at all. I promise.” Noél replied.
“That’s my girl.” Bernard said.
“Noél it’s time for you to leave now.” Santa said.
“Now?” Bernard and Noél asked at the same time in a not so happy tone.
“Yes now.” Santa answered.
“Can I have moment to say good-bye to Bernard?” Noél asked.
“Sure you can, but make it quick.” Santa answered.
So Noél and Bernard said their good-byes.
“I’m going to miss you sweetie.” Bernard said.
“I’m going to miss you too, baby.” Noél said.
At that very moment Bernard and Noél started kissing passionately. A few minutes later they broke the kiss.
“Good-bye, my one true love.” Bernard said.
“Good-bye, my sweet, sweet angel.” Noél said.
An hour later Noél is now in Malibu, California right outside the front door to the Stewart’s Beach house. Noél rang the doorbell. A few minutes later Mr. Stewart opened the door.
“Hi, can I help you, miss?” Mr. Stewart asked.
“Hi, I’m Noél and I was wondering if I could stay here with you and your family for a year, Robbie Ray.” Noél answered.
“Sure you can.” Robbie Ray replied.
Then it dawned on him.
“Wait a minute, how do you know my name?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Well where I came from all of my friends including my boss San-Scott Calvin knows everybody’s name all around the world.” Noél answered as she walked in and sat on the couch.
Robbie Ray closed the door and joined her on the couch.
“So where are you from?” Robbie Ray asked.
“I’m from up North, way, way up North. Where there is ice and snow all year around.” Noél answered.
“Why is that?” Robbie Ray asked.
“That is because we don’t get much sunlight where I live at all.” Noél answered.
“Why is that?” Robbie Ray asked.
“I will tell you later. Yeah much, much later.” Noél answered.
“When will that be?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Oh you are just going to have to wait until Christmas Eve to find out.” Noél answered.
“Noél you have a very beautiful name.” Robbie Ray said.
“Thanks, Robbie Ray.” Noél said.
“What does your name mean or stand for?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Noél is french for Christmas. Which is my favorite holiday of all time. Besides my birthday is 5 days before Christmas.” Noél answered.
“So Noél how would you like to go out with me sometime?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Oh, Robbie Ray I would love to, but I can’t.” Noél answered.
“Why can’t you?” Robbie Ray asked.
“The truth is I’m engaged to be married.” Noél answered.
“When’s the wedding?” Robbie Ray asked.
“I am not sure yet.” Noél answered.
“By the way you have very beautiful hair, Noél.” Robbie Ray said as he was about to touch it.
“Thanks. Oh and by the way no one and I mean no one touches my hair except for my fiancé.” Noél said as she backed away from Robbie Ray so that he doesn’t touch her hair.
“What’s your fiancé’s name?” Robbie Ray asked.
Noél looked up for a moment.
“His name is Bernard.” Noél answered.
At that very moment a teenage boy and a teenage girl walked in.
“Hi, Dad.” The teenage girl said.
“Hi, bud.” Robbie Ray said.
“Hi, Dad.” The teenage boy said.
“Hi, son.” Robbie Ray said.
Noél clears her throat.
“Oh, this is Noél and she is staying with us for a year.” Robbie Ray said.
“Nice to meet you Noél.” The teenage boy and girl said.
“It’s nice to finally meet you, Miley and Jackson.” Noél said.
“How do you know our names?” Miley and Jackson asked at the same time.
“Well like I told your father earlier, where I came from all of my friends including my boss San-Scott Calvin knows everybody’s name all around the world.” Noél answered.
“How is that possible?” Miley asked.
“I can’t say right now because I made a promise to my boss and I am not about to break that promise.” Noél answered.
“When will you tell us, beautiful?” Jackson asked.
“Christmas Eve.” Noél answered.
A few weeks go by and it is now Valentine’s Day. Noél is watching some videos on her laptop that has Bernard in them. Six minutes and thirty seconds later the first one she watched is over. Just then Robbie Ray came up to her and he had a piece of paper in his hand.
“Noél I have something that I want to give you today?” Robbie Ray asked.
“I am a little busy right now Robbie Ray you can give it to me later.” Noél answered.
“Oh ok.” Robbie Ray replied.
Noél is now watching the other one and as she is watching it she is getting more and more upset because it is making her miss Bernard more.
“I love it when he gets angry like that. He is so gorgeous when he gets angry.” Noél thought to herself.
A few seconds later she heard him sing on that video that she is watching.
“The only one that could actually sing right there was Bernard.” Noél thought to herself again.
A few seconds later it was over.
“Noél can I give you your Valentine’s Day gift now?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Yeah sure you can.” Noél answered.
So Robbie Ray sat next to Noél and handed her a piece of paper.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Noél.” Robbie Ray said as he handed her the piece of paper.
“What’s this?” Noél asked.
“It is a poem that I wrote for you.” Robbie Ray answered.
Noél reads the poem then a few seconds later she is done reading it.
“Oh, Robbie Ray that was a beautiful poem. I would love to be your wife but I can’t because I am already engaged to Bernard.” Noél said.
~Meanwhile back at the North Pole in Santa’s Workshop~
“Santa I want to see my fiancé Noél.” Bernard said.
“I know you do but I can’t take the risk of anyone seeing your ears and figuring out that you’re an Elf.” Santa said.
“I’d rather take that risk than not to be with my girl on Valentine’s Day. She misses me I know she does and I miss her.” Bernard said.
“You can’t go down there Bernard. I’m sorry.” Santa said.
Bernard gets upset and goes to his room. Just then Curtis came up to him.
“What’s wrong with you?” Curtis asked.
“Nothing now just leave me alone. I’m not in the mood to talk to you or anyone else right now.” Bernard answered.
A few minutes later Bernard is in his room singing a song that shows how much he misses his Noél. The song is “I Miss You.”
Sha la la la la, sha la la la la
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You’d hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holdin’ me
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it’s different now
You’re still here somehow
My heart won’t let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I’m livin’ out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that’s happenin’ for me
I’m thinking back on the past
It’s true that time is flying by too fast
I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it’s different now
You’re still here somehow
My heart won’t let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you
I know you’re in a better place yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you’re where you need to be
Even though it’s not here with me

And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it’s different now
You’re still here somehow
My heart won’t let you go
And I need you to know

My heart won’t let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you
I miss you.
~Meanwhile back down in Malibu~
Noél is lying down on the couch thinking about Bernard. Just then Miley came through the door with two of her friends.
“Hi, Noél.” Miley said.
“Hi, Miley, Lilly and Oliver.” Noél said.
“Miley how does she know our names?” Lilly asked.
“Well Noél once told my dad, Jackson and I that where she comes from all of her friends including her boss Scott Calvin knows everybody’s name all around the world.” Miley answered.
“Is that true?” Oliver asked.
“Yes it is true, Oliver.” Noél answered.
“Cool.” Oliver replied.
“How do you know all of this, Noél?” Lilly asked.
“I can’t tell you right now because I promise my boss San-Scott that I wouldn’t say anything until Christmas Eve.” Noél answered.
A few minutes later Miley, Lilly and Oliver left. Now Noél is alone. She is now singing a song because she is not happy and she can’t smile and she knows that Bernard isn’t happy or smiling either so she is singing the song called “Smile.”
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by...
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.
The weeks of February, March and April goes by and the first 14 days of May go by and it is now May 15th. Noél is upset because she knows that it’s Bernard’s birthday and she is not with him at all.
“Noél what is wrong?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Well today is Bernard’s birthday and I am not with him to celebrate it with him.” Noél answered.
“How old is he today?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Sorry I can’t tell you that at all.” Noél answered.
“Why is that?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Because where I come from we can’t give out our age to anyone at all.” Noél answered.
“Oh ok.” Robbie Ray replied.
“Can I have some time alone to myself right now, Robbie Ray?” Noél asked.
“Sure thing, Noél.” Robbie Ray answered.
Now Noél is alone and she decided to sing a song and at that very moment up at the North Pole Bernard decided to sing a song to and both Bernard and Noél are singing the same song as a duet. The song that they sing is “Somewhere Out There.” Bernard is in his room looking into a special crystal ball where he can see his girl anytime that he wants to see her when he is singing the song and Noél is on the back patio of Robbie Ray’s beach house. She is leaning on the railing and looking up in the sky as she is singing the song.
Noél: Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone’s thinking of me
And loving me tonight
Bernard: Somewhere out there
Someone’s saying a prayer
That we’ll find one another
In that big somewhere out there
And even though I know
How very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star
Noél: And when the night wind starts to sing
A lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we’re sleeping
Underneath the same big sky
Both: Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we’ll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
(Instrumental break)
Bernard: And even though I know
How very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star
Noél: And when the night wind starts to sing
A lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we’re sleeping
Underneath the same big sky
Both: Somewhere out there
Noél: If love can see us through
Bernard: If love can see us through
Noél: Then we’ll be
Both: together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true.
After that Noél went back inside and sat down on the couch. The doorbell rang just as Robbie Ray walked into the room. When Robbie Ray answered the door he saw someone that he didn’t know standing on the other side.
“May I help you sir?” Robbie Ray asked.
“I am looking for Noél? Is she here?” The man asked.
“Yeah she is right there on the couch.” Robbie Ray answered as he let the man in.
“Noél?” The man asked.
When Noél looked up she recognized who he was.
“Scott!?!” Noél asked in a shock.
“Yes it’s me.” Scott answered.
“What are you doing here?” Noél asked as she gave him a hug.
“I came down here to tell you something.” Scott answered as he hugged her back.
Robbie Ray clears his throat.
“Oh, Robbie Ray this is my boss Scott Calvin.” Noél said.
“Nice to meet you Scott.” Robbie Ray said.
“Nice to meet you to Robbie Ray.” Scott said.
“Um...Robbie Ray can I have a moment alone with Scott?” Noél asked.
“Sure thing, Noél. I am going out for a jog right now. Miley is at the mall with Lilly and Oliver and Jackson is at work. So you two will be here by yourselves.” Robbie Ray answered.
“Thanks Robbie Ray.” Noél and Scott said at the same time.
At that very moment Robbie Ray left for his jog.
“Finally we’re alone.” Scott said.
“Santa why did you take the shape and form of Scott?” Noél asked.
“I used my magic to transform myself so that I wouldn’t give myself away if you know what I mean.” Scott answered.
“Oh I see. Also that won’t give me away either.” Noél replied.
“That’s true.” Scott said.
“So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?” Noél asked.
“It’s about Bernard.” Scott answered.
“What about Bernard? Is he alright?” Noél asked.
“Well I’m not sure.” Scott answered.
“What do you mean you’re not sure?” Noél asked.
“Well ever since the day you left he hasn’t been smiling and he hasn’t talked to the other Elves and the last time he talked to an Elf it was Curtis and he was angry when he spoke to him.” Scott answered.
“How do you know that he was angry when he talked to Curtis?” Noél asked.
“It was the tone of his voice.” Scott answered.
“Oh I see.” Noél replied.
“Since Valentine’s Day he hasn’t come out of his room at all.” Scott said.
“He misses me that is probably why.” Noél said.
“Yeah you’re right he does miss you.” Scott said.
“Scott can I be with him here today?” Noél asked.
“No he can’t.” Scott answered.
“Why can’t he?” Noél asked.
“Because I don’t want to take the risk of anyone seeing his ears.” Scott answered.
“I don’t care. I just want to be with him for one day and that is it.” Noél replied.
“I don’t think it will be best for him to be down here because someone might see his ears.” Scott said.
“Come on, Scott, all I want is to be with Bernard for just one day that is only 24 hours.” Noél said.
“Are you sure about that?” Scott asked.
“Yes I am. He is all I want right now. Plus it’s his birthday and I want to be with him on his birthday and I know that he wants to be with me on his birthday, too.” Noél answered.
“Oh alright he can come down here but you have until noon tomorrow.” Scott replied.
“Really he can come down here?” Noél asked in a excited tone.
“Yes he can. Right now it is 11:58am. He will be here in two minutes.” Scott answered.
After that Scott left and Noél sat on the couch and then two minutes later Bernard walked up behind her and put his hands over her eyes.
“Guess who?” Bernard asked.
“Bernard!” Noél answered with an excited tone in her voice.
Bernard took his hands away from her eyes and sat down next to her on the couch.
“I missed you sweetie.” Bernard said as he put is arm around her.
“I missed you, too, baby. Happy birthday, baby.” Noél said as she laid her head on his shoulders.
A few minutes later Bernard and Noél are kissing passionately and at that very moment Robbie Ray walked into the room. He walked over to Noél and Bernard and he was clearing his throat to get their attention. Bernard and Noél stopped kissing.
“Oh, hi, Robbie Ray.” Noél said.
“Hi, Noél.” Robbie Ray said.
“Robbie Ray what do you have behind your back?” Noél asked.
“Oh it’s just this.” Robbie Ray answered as brought out a yellow daffodil that he had behind his back.
“It’s a single yellow daffodil.” Noél replied.
“Yes it is and it’s for you, Noél.” Robbie Ray said.
“Thanks Robbie Ray.” Noél said.
Just then Jackson walked up to her and gave her a dozen yellow daffodils.
“Noél these are for you. That is one dozen yellow daffodils and they’re all for you, beautiful.” Jackson said as he handed her the dozen yellow daffodils.
Bernard was getting angry and he was about to go after Jackson but Noél grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
“Bernard calm down.” Noél said.
“Well I can’t have these two giving you stuff like that at all.” Bernard replied.
“Who is this?” Jackson asked.
“Jackson, Robbie Ray this is my fiancé Bernard. Today is his birthday.” Noél answered.
“Nice to meet you Bernard. Happy birthday, Bernard.” Robbie Ray and Jackson said at the same time.
“Likewise. Thanks. Just stay away from my girl.” Bernard said to Jackson.
“Bernard, sweetheart, calm down. Please.” Noél said.
“Well I’m sorry sweetie I just don’t want him flirting with you, that’s all.” Bernard said.
“Don’t worry about that baby. You’re the only one that I want.” Noél said.
“Really?” Bernard asked.
“Yes. You’re the only one for me.” Noél answered.
“Why is that?” Bernard asked.
“I love you more than life itself.” Noél answered.
At that moment Bernard pulled Noél close and started kissing her passionately. Jackson and Robbie Ray left them alone while they’re kissing. A few minutes later they sat down on the couch without breaking the kiss. They continue kissing passionately until 3pm. Now it’s 3pm and Noél and Bernard are out on the beach walking hand in hand. As they’re walking they continue to kiss. Just then Robbie Ray spots them and he jogs over to them.
“Everytime I see you two together you are always kissing.” Robbie Ray said.
“Well I can’t help it because Noél is so beautiful...” Bernard started to say.
“You got that right.” Robbie Ray thought to himself.
“And I love kissing her.” Bernard said.
“I’d love to kiss her myself.” Robbie Ray thought to himself.
“Isn’t he just the sweetest?” Noél asked.
“Yeah sure he is.” Robbie Ray answered sarcastically.
“Robbie Ray what is your problem?” Noél asked.
“It’s nothing. Nothing at all.” Robbie Ray answered.
“Robbie Ray there is something wrong.” Noél replied.
“No there’s not.” Robbie Ray said.
“Tell me now what’s wrong?” Noél asked.
“Alright fine. The truth is Noél I’m in love with you.” Robbie Ray answered.
Noél’s and Bernard’s mouths dropped opened in shock.
“How come you never told me until now?” Noél asked.
“I wanted to tell you but you kept going on and on and on and on about Bernard and how much you love him.” Robbie Ray answered.
“Well you’re too late because she is all mine and I will never let anyone take her away from me at all.” Bernard replied.
“Awe...you’re so sweet.” Noél said.
“Thanks sweetheart.” Bernard said.
“You’re welcome my angel.” Noél said.
Then at that very moment Bernard and Noél kissed passionately and Robbie Ray shook his head and jogged home. Bernard and Noél stayed on the beach for the rest of the day and watched the sunset. Because they don’t get to do that up at the North Pole.
“It is so gorgeous.” Bernard said.
“Yeah you are.” Noél said under her breath.
“What did you say, sweetie?” Bernard asked.
“Oh, I said yeah you are.” Noél answered.
“I was talking about the sunset and you were talking about me.” Bernard replied.
“Yeah I was talking about you.” Noél said.
“That’s my girl.” Bernard said.
They stayed there watching the sunset until they couldn’t see it anymore than they went back to Robbie Ray’s beach house.
“There you two are? Where were you two at?” Robbie Ray asked in a worry voice.
“We were still on the beach.” Noél answered.
“What were you still doing there?” Robbie Ray asked.
“We wanted to see the sunset.” Bernard answered.
“Yeah where we come from we don’t get to see the sunset like we can here.” Noél added.
A few minutes go by and everyone is asleep. In the morning Noél and Bernard are the first ones up after they get dressed they go outside to the back patio and started kissing passionately for an hour or so. Robbie Ray then comes down stairs and goes out for his morning jog. He spots Noél and Bernard on the back patio kissing passionately and he just shakes his head and jogs off. Two hours later they break the kiss.
“Sweetie, I had the best birthday yesterday.” Bernard said.
“You did? Really?” Noél asked.
“Yes I did.” Bernard answered.
“Why is that?” Noél asked.
“Because I was with you that’s why and being with you was the only thing that I wanted for my birthday.” Bernard answered.
“Well I am glad that you got what you wanted for you’re birthday.” Noél replied.
“Yeah so am I.” Bernard said.
“Bernard, I was wondering where you wanted to have our wedding at?” Noél asked.
“Well I want to have it at the North Pole.” Bernard answered.
“Yeah so do I, but Santa won’t let me go back to the North Pole until January 1st.” Noél replied.
“Yeah I know that. Our wedding is this Christmas Eve.” Bernard said.
“I was just thinking that we can have our wedding next year on Christmas Eve.” Noél said.
“I think that is a great idea.” Bernard said.
“You do?” Noél asked.
“Yes I do.” Bernard answered.
“Why?” Noél asked.
“Well that way you and I can catch up on everything that we couldn’t do this year at all.” Bernard answered.
“You are so right about that.” Noél replied.
Bernard pulled her close and kissed her passionately until noon. At noon Scott came down to them. Scott cleared his throat.
“Oh hi, Scott.” Noél said.
“Bernard it’s time to go now.” Scott said.
“Time to go?” Bernard asked.
“Yes it is now noon. I gave you from noon yesterday until noon today and it is now noon. So Bernard you and I has to go back to the North Pole.” Scott answered.
“I don’t want to leave let.” Bernard replied.
“You have to.” Scott said.
“Can I at lease have sometime to say good-bye to Noél?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah sure of course.” Scott answered.
So Bernard said good-bye to Noél and she said good-bye to Bernard. After that he kissed her and then before she knew it Scott and Bernard were gone. Noél went back inside and sat down on the couch and buried her head in her knees and started crying. At that very moment Miley, Lilly and Oliver walked into the room.
“He just left and I already miss him.” Noél said through her tears.
“Noél are you ok?” Miley asked.
“No I’m not.” Noél answered.
“Why not?” Lilly asked.
“Because my fiancé, Bernard just left a few minutes ago and I already miss him.” Noél answered.
“Why was he here in the first place?” Oliver asked.
“Oliver.” Miley and Lilly said as they hit his arms.
“Girls it’s ok. Bernard was here for his birthday which was yesterday.” Noél answered.
A few minutes later Miley, Lilly and Oliver left for the mall. After they left Robbie Ray walked into the room and noticed Noél on the couch crying. So he went over and sat down next to her.
“Are you ok?” Robbie Ray asked.
“No I’m not.” Noél answered through her tears.
“Why is that?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Bernard is gone.” Noél answered through her tears.
The days and weeks and months go by so slowly and now it is December 20th which is Noél’s birthday but she isn’t too happy. Robbie Ray, Miley and Jackson came down stairs to see Noél sitting on the couch writing in her Journal.
“Hey, Noél would you like to go out caroling with us?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Caroling?” Noél asked.
“Yeah do you want to go?” Miley asked.
“No. I’ll think I’ll pass on that.” Noél answered.
“Why?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Because I am not in the mood right now.” Noél answered.
“Come on it will be fun.” Robbie Ray said.
“I don’t want to go ok.” Noél said.
“Ok fine.” Robbie Ray said.
“By the way do you three always go out caroling 5 days before Christmas?” Noél asked.
“Yes we do. It is a Stewart family tradition.” Robbie Ray answered.
“Why don’t you want to go?” Jackson asked.
“I just don’t want to besides it’s my birthday and I just want to stay here and write in my Journal and watch videos of Bernard on my laptop.” Noél answered.
At that moment Robbie Ray, Miley and Jackson left. After they left Noél watched two videos of Bernard on her laptop 6 minutes and 30 seconds later the first one is over and she is now watching the second one and what she doesn’t know is that Bernard, Santa and Curtis are standing right behind just watching her watching the videos on her laptop. A few seconds later Noél sees Bernard.
“There he is.” Noél said to herself.
On the video it shows Scott talking to his son in the sleigh then he gets out and talks to two Elves first a boy and and then a girl Elf. Then Bernard comes in.
Bernard: Are we on a coffee break?
Kid Elf: We don’t drink coffee.
Bernard: Then, I GUESS THE BREAK IS OVER! Back to work! Thanks.
Scott Calvin: Take it easy on her will ya. Who are you?
Bernard: I’m Bernard. Nice to meet you Santa.
[walks off with Scott running off him]
Scott Calvin: I’m not Santa. I’ve had a rough night. There’s been dogs barking, guns going off.
Bernard and Scott continue to talk.
Scott Calvin: Hey, I know where this is going. The other guy fell, it was an accident. I’ve got homeowners insurance, and a good attorney, not as good as my wife’s - but lets not open up that wound!
They continue to talk some more and Charlie comes running up.
Bernard: Who’s this?
Scott Calvin: This is my son Charlie. My sorry, Charlie this is B-b-b-b.
Bernard: Bernard.
Scott Calvin: Bernard.
Charlie: Hi, Bernard.
Bernard: Hiya, Sport.
Charlie: Hey, dad he called me Sport just like you.
Scott Calvin: Wonderful.
Bernard then tells Charlie that he has something for him and then Bernard give him a snowglobe.
Scott Calvin: Hey, Berabus.
Bernard: Bernard! “Bernard!” Noél said with Bernard on the video.
Scott Calvin: Bernard. Can we take a direct flight back to reality, or do we have to change planes in Denver?
Bernard tells an Elf name Larry to take Charlie and give him some chow. Charlie runs off and catches up to Larry. A few seconds later they are in the workshop where the Elves are making toys. Bernard and Scott continue to talk then after few seconds Bernard puts the card from the Santa suit under a magnify glass and reads what is on the card.
Bernard: The Santa Clause: In putting on the suit and entering the sleigh, the wearer wavies any and all right to any previous identity, real or implied, and fully accepts the duties and responsibilities of Santa Claus, in perpetuity to such some time the wearer becomes unable to do so, by either accident or design.
Scott: What does that mean?
Bernard: It means: If you put on the suit you’re the big guy.
Scott Calvin: This is ridiculous! I didn’t just put on the suit to-...
Bernard: Try to understand this!
Elves: Oooh.
“He is so gorgeous when he is angry.” Noél said to herself.
When she said that Santa and Curtis just rolled their eyes and there was a smile on Bernard’s gorgeous face. On the video Bernard and Scott continue to talk. Charlie comes running up.
Bernard: I’ll ship the list to your house.
Scott Calvin: What list?
Bernard: Come on, the list...
[singsong voice]
Bernard: He’s making a list.
Charlie: [singing loudly] Checkin’ it twice.
Elves: ‘Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice!
“The only one there that can sing was Bernard.” Noél said to herself.
“That’s my girl.” Bernard whispered to Santa and Curtis who just rolled their eyes.
On the video Bernard, Scott and Charlie continue to talk.
Scott Calvin: Why not? What if don’t buy any of this Santa Clause thing? What if I choose not to believe it?
Bernard: Then there would be millions of disappointed children around the world. You see, children hold the spirit of Christmas within their hearts. You don’t wanna be responsible for killing the spirit of Christmas, now would you... Santa? Judy will take you to your room. Get out of the suit it needs to be cleaned.
Scott Calvin: And taking in.
Bernard: Then get some sleep. We’ve got a lot of work to do and only a year in which to do it.
Then the video was over and Noél was getting a little emotional and then she fell over to her side on the couch and was just lying there crying. Bernard was about to go over to her, but Santa stopped him because at that very moment Robbie Ray, Miley and Jackson walked through the door.
“Noél are you ok?” Miley asked.
Noél didn’t say anything.
“Noél are you ok?” Miley asked again.
Noél still didn’t say anything.
“Dad there is something wrong with Noél.” Miley said.
“You’re right, bud, there is something wrong with her. Why don’t you and Jackson go upstairs and I’ll see what is wrong with her ok?” Robbie Ray told Miley and Jackson.
So Miley and Jackson went upstairs to their rooms and Robbie Ray went over to the couch and sat down beside Noél.
“Noél are you ok?” Robbie Ray asked.
Just then Noél sat up and saw Robbie Ray.
“Oh, you’re back.” Noél said.
“What’s wrong? Are you ok?” Robbie Ray asked.
“No I’m not.” Noél answered.
“Why is that?” Robbie Ray asked.
“It’s just that I miss Bernard that’s all.” Noél answered.
When she said that Robbie Ray just rolled his eyes and Noél saw him roll his eyes. The day goes by and it is now the next day. Later in the afternoon Noél gets a phone call from someone special. When Noél saw who was calling her face lit up with happiness.
“Hi, Bernard.” Noél said as she answered the phone.
“Hi, sweetie. I missed you.” Bernard said.
“I missed you, too.” Noél said.
For hours Noél and Bernard were talking on the phone. All of a sudden Noél noticed Holly.
“So how was your birthday yesterday, sweetie?” Bernard asked.
“It was good, but it would’ve been better with you here with me. Bernard, sweetheart.” Noél answered.
“Yes, sweetie.” Bernard replied.
“I just noticed that Holly is here.” Noél said.
“What is she doing there?” Bernard asked.
“I don’t know, but I am going to find out. I am also going to have to tell her not to blow out secret about being Elves.” Noél answered.
“Ok. I will talk to you later, sweetie. I love you. Bye.” Bernard replied.
“Ok. Talk to you later. I love you, too. Bye baby.” Noél said.
Noél and Bernard hung up on each other and Noél went over to where Holly was.
“Hi, Holly.” Noél said.
“Hi, Noél.” Holly said.
“What are you doing here?” Noél asked.
“I came down to see you.” Holly answered.
“Oh ok.” Noél replied.
“So how has it been like down here?” Holly asked.
“It is cool down here but it gets extremely hot durning the middle of the year.” Noél answered as she noticed Holly’s ears.
“What’s wrong?” Holly asked.
“Holly cover your ears.” Noél whispered.
“Why?” Holly asked as Noél covered her ears.
“I don’t want anyone down here knowing that we are Elves.” Noél answered in a whispered.
“Why is that?” Holly asked.
“Because Santa told me not to tell anyone until Christmas Eve.” Noél answered.
Just then Robbie Ray walked up to them.
“Hi, Noél.” Robbie Ray said in a flirty voice.
“Hi. Robbie Ray, this is my friend Holly.” Noél said.
“Nice to meet you Holly.” Robbie Ray said.
“Nice to meet you to Robbie Ray.” Holly said.
“He is gorgeous.” Holly whispered.
“What did you say?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Oh I said...” Holly started to say.
“You don’t want to know trust me.” Noél answered.
“Noél can I talk to you for a moment alone?” Holly asked.
“Sure thing. Robbie Ray we’ll be right back.” Noél answered.
Robbie Ray nodded his head. So now Noél and Holly are out of earshot of Robbie Ray.
“We’re alone now.” Noél said.
“Why didn’t you let me tell him what I said?” Holly asked.
“Because the truth is you can’t get involved with him. Romantically that is.” Noél answered.
“Why?” Holly asked.
“Because you’re an Elf and he is not.” Noél answered.
“So that doesn’t matter to me.” Holly replied.
“Plus he’s in love with me.” Noél said.
“He is!?!” Holly asked in shock.
“Yes he is. But he isn’t my type plus I have Bernard.” Noél answered.
“I bet that he wouldn’t be in love with you if I told him that you’re an Elf.” Holly said as she started walking towards Robbie Ray.
At that moment Noél grabbed Holly’s arm and stopped her.
“You will do nothing of the sort.” Noél demanded.
“Try and stop me.” Holly said.
“You can’t do that because Santa told me that I can’t tell anyone down here that we’re Elves until Christmas Eve.” Noél said.
“You see he told you not me.” Holly said.
“Yeah well he told me to tell you that you can’t tell anyone down here at all.” Noél said.
“Are you sure?” Holly asked just as Santa as Scott Calvin appeared.
“Yes she is sure.” Scott answered.
“I want to tell them now, Scott.” Holly said.
“You can’t.” Scott and Noél said at the same time.
“I can’t let any one know our secret until Christmas Eve which is in 3 days.” Scott said.
“Fine I won’t tell.” Holly said.
“Holly why don’t you go back to the North Pole so you don’t blow our secret.?” Scott asked.
So Holly left and Scott was about to leave but Noél had to talk to him.
“Scott, wait, I need to talk to you about something.” Noél said.
“What do you want to talk to me about?” Scott asked.
“I want to talk to you about Robbie Ray.” Noél answered.
“Why?” Scott asked.
“Well he’s in love with me and I keep telling him that I have a fiancé, but he doesn’t care and wants me as his girl.” Noél answered.
“We need to find someone for him.” Scott replied.
“I agree with you and I think that I might know who would be a perfect match for him.” Noél said.
“Who is that?” Scott asked.
“Mrs. Truscott, Lilly’s mom, would be a perfect match for him. Plus I know tht Miley and Lilly would love to be sisters.” Noél answered.
“If you get those two together before New’s Eve I promise that you will get a visit from someone special on New Year’s Eve.” Scott replied.
“Really, who?” Noél asked.
“I can’t say, but until then my lips are sealed.” Scott answered.
“Oh ok. I will do my best to get them together.” Noél replied.
“By the way Bernard told me that you postponed the wedding until next year on Christmas Eve.” Scott said.
“Yeah we decided to have it next year on Christmas Eve because we want to have it up at the North Pole.” Noél said.
“Oh I see.” Scott said.
The next day goes by and it is now the eve of Christmas Eve. Miley was noticing that her dad kept flirting with Noél.
“Dad can I talk to Noél for a moment alone?” Miley asked.
“Sure you can, bud.” Robbie Ray answered.
Now Miley and Noél are out of earshot of Robbie Ray.
“What do you want to talk to me about?” Noél asked.
“My dad.” Miley answered.
“What about your dad?” Noél asked.
“Is it just me or is he in love with you?” Miley asked.
“It isn’t just you your dad is in love with me.” Noél answered.
“How long has he been in love with you?” Miley asked.
“Since January 1st this year.” Noél answered.
“That was when we first met you.” Miley replied.
“Yeah I know.” Noél said.
“How come you don’t have the same feelings for him?” Miley asked.
“That is because your dad isn’t my type and I have Bernard my fiancé.” Noél answered.
“Well who do you think that will be perfect for my Dad?” Miley asked.
“Well you are going to have to wait.” Noél answered.
“So you already found someone for my dad?” Miley asked.
“Yes I did and she is a perfect match for him.” Noél answered.
The day goes by and it is now Christmas Eve. It is at the time where Noél tells them the truth about her and her friends and where they live.
“So Noél now it is Christmas Eve could you tell us what you couldn’t tell us earlier this year?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Yes it is time for you to know the truth about me, my friends and where I live.” Noél answered.
“So what is the truth?” Miley asked.
“The truth is I’m an Elf, I live at Santa’s Workshop in the North Pole. Bernard my fiancé is Santa’s Head Elf and I am Bernard’s assistant. Scott Calvin is actually Santa Claus.” Noél answered.
“Yeah right. You’re not in Elf. You don’t live at the North Pole.” Jackson replied.
“I am too an Elf, Jackson.” Noél said.
“Then proof it?” Jackson asked.
“Ok I will proof it to you that I am an Elf.” Noél said as she put her hair behind her ears so that everyone can see them.
“Noél was it with your ears? Why are the so pointy?” Robbie Ray asked.
“My ears are like this because I am an Elf. Only Elves have pointy ears like this.” Noél answered.
“So is this why you told me what you told me yesterday, Noél?” Miley asked.
“Yes it is Miley.” Noél answered.
“What are you two talking about?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Well yesterday I told Miley that you’re not my type and now she knows why you aren’t.” Noél answered.
A few minutes later.
“Let’s watch some Christmas movies.” Jackson said.
“That it is a great idea, son.” Robbie Ray said.
“Dad, can Lilly and Oliver come over too?” Miley asked.
“Sure they can.” Robbie Ray answered.
“Miley don’t forget about Lilly’s mom.” Noél replied.
So an hour goes by and Lilly, Oliver and Lilly’s mom have finally arrived.
“So what movie do you all want to watch?” Robbie Ray asked.
“How about this?” Jackson said as he held up a Christmas movie called “Jingle All The Way.”
“I don’t want to watch that.” Noél answered.
“How about this?” Jackson asked as he held up another one.
Everyone argeed except for Noél.
“I don’t want to watch that one either.” Noél answered.
“Ok, Noél what do you want to watch?” Jackson asked.
“I want to watch these.” Noél answered as she held up two movies that she had behind her back.
“What movies are those?” Robbie Ray asked.
“This is The Santa Clause and this one is The Santa Clause 2.” Noél answered.
“Why do you want to watch those?” Robbie Ray asked.
“You’ll see, Robbie Ray, you’ll see. If you haven’t seen them yet you are going to love these movies they are the best Christmas movies in the whole entire universe.” Noél answered.
So they started watching it and then a few minutes later Scott Calvin and his son Charlie arrived at the North Pole. A few seconds later Noél sees Bernard.
“There he is.” Noél said.
“There is who?” Robbie Ray asked.
“You’ll see, Robbie Ray, you’ll see.” Noél answered.
On the movie it shows Scott talking to his son in the sleigh then he gets out and talks to two Elves first a boy and and then a girl Elf. Then Bernard comes in.
Bernard: Are we on a coffee break?
Kid Elf: We don’t drink coffee.
Bernard: Then, I GUESS THE BREAK IS OVER! Back to work! Thanks.
Scott Calvin: Take it easy on her will ya. Who are you?
Bernard: I’m Bernard. Nice to meet you Santa.
[walks off with Scott running off him]
Scott Calvin: I’m not Santa. I’ve had a rough night. There’s been dogs barking, guns going off.
Bernard and Scott continue to talk.
Scott Calvin: Hey, I know where this is going. The other guy fell, it was an accident. I’ve got homeowners insurance, and a good attorney, not as good as my wife’s - but lets not open up that wound!
They continue to talk some more and Charlie comes running up.
Bernard: Who’s this?
Scott Calvin: This is my son Charlie. My sorry, Charlie this is B-b-b-b.
Bernard: Bernard.
Scott Calvin: Bernard.
Charlie: Hi, Bernard.
Bernard: Hiya, Sport.
Charlie: Hey, dad he called me Sport just like you.
Scott Calvin: Wonderful.
Bernard then tells Charlie that he has something for him and then Bernard give him a snowglobe.
Scott Calvin: Hey, Berabus.
Bernard: Bernard! “Bernard!” Noél said with Bernard on the movie.
Scott Calvin: Bernard. Can we take a direct flight back to reality, or do we have to change planes in Denver?
Bernard tells an Elf name Larry to take Charlie and give him some chow. Charlie runs off and catches up to Larry. A few seconds later they are in the workshop where the Elves are making toys. Bernard and Scott continue to talk then after few seconds Bernard puts the card from the Santa suit under a magnify glass and reads what is on the card.
Bernard: The Santa Clause: In putting on the suit and entering the sleigh, the wearer wavies any and all right to any previous identity, real or implied, and fully accepts the duties and responsibilities of Santa Claus, in perpetuity to such some time the wearer becomes unable to do so, by either accident or design.
Scott: What does that mean?
Bernard: It means: If you put on the suit you’re the big guy.
Scott Calvin: This is ridiculous! I didn’t just put on the suit to-...
Bernard: Try to understand this!
Elves: Oooh.
“He is so gorgeous when he is angry.” Noél said.
When she said that Robbie Ray just rolled his eyes. On the movie Bernard and Scott continue to talk. Charlie comes running up.
Bernard: I’ll ship the list to your house.
Scott Calvin: What list?
Bernard: Come on, the list...
[singsong voice]
Bernard: He’s making a list.
Charlie: [singing loudly] Checkin’ it twice.
Elves: ‘Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice!
“The only one there that can sing was Bernard.” Noél said.
Robbie Ray just rolled his eyes again. On the video Bernard, Scott and Charlie continue to talk.
Scott Calvin: Why not? What if don’t buy any of this Santa Clause thing? What if I choose not to believe it?
Bernard: Then there would be millions of disappointed children around the world. You see, children hold the spirit of Christmas within their hearts. You don’t wanna be responsible for killing the spirit of Christmas, now would you... Santa? Judy will take you to your room. Get out of the suit it needs to be cleaned.
Scott Calvin: And taking in.
Bernard: Then get some sleep. We’ve got a lot of work to do and only a year in which to do it.
A few minutes later the movie was over and then they watched the Bonus feature on there called “So You Want To Be An Elf?” After that was over they watched The Santa Clause 2. When that was over they watched the 7 deleted scenes, the Gag Reel, the True Confessions from the Legendary Figures, Inside the North Pole with Curtis Making of the Featurette and the Director’s Tour of Elfsburg Featurette.
“So what did you think of both of those movies?” Noél asked.
“They were really good, except for one thing.” Robbie Ray answered.
“What would that be?” Noél asked.
“Bernard.” Robbie Ray answered.
“What about Bernard?” Noél asked.
“He was that great in the movies.” Robbie Ray answered.
“What is that suppose to mean?” Noél asked.
“He wasn’t a good Elf and in the second one he walked and ran funny.” Robbie Ray answered.
“Robbie Ray you better stop talking about Bernard like that, right now!” Noél yelled.
“Why should I?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Because Bernard in the movie is now my fiancé!” Noél answered in a yell.
A few minutes later Noél is sitting at her laptop almost in tears when she decided to watch the music video of Hilary Duff singing “Santa Claus Lane” and she sang long with Hilary and what she didn’t know is that Robbie Ray was listening to her sing.
I remember last Christmas Eve
Something happened that I couldn’t believe
I went for a walk as the snow came down
And when it stopped I was in a different town
And the sign said have no fear; your not lost your here!
Walking this Christmas
Down Santa Claus Lane
No need to wonder
No need to explain
Just have some faith in what you see
Your right here where you wanna be
Walking this Christmas
Down Santa Claus Lane
Elves were standing in the street
Snowmen and reindeer came out to greet
Silver bells chimed from far away
As Santa rode by on an open sleigh
And he told me have no fear
Your not lost, your here!
Walking this Christmas
Down Santa Claus Lane
No need to wonder
No need to explain
Just have some faith in what you see
Your right here where you wanna be
Walking this Christmas
Down Santa Claus Lane
Down Santa Claus Lane
I don’t know how
I don’t know when
But one day
I’ll be back again
Walking this Christmas
Down Santa Claus Lane
No need to wonder
No need to explain
Just have some faith in what you see
Your right here where you wanna be
Walking this Christmas
Down Santa Claus Lane
Down Santa Claus Lane
Down Santa Claus Lane
Down Santa Claus Lane
Down Santa Claus Lane.
“She has a beautiful singing voice.” Robbie Ray thought to himself.
The rest of the day goes by and it is now Christmas. Christmas morning goes by and it is now 3pm. Lilly’s mom comes up to Noél.
“Noél can I talk to you?” Lilly’s mom asked.
“Of course you can.” Noél answered.
Now Lilly’s mom and Noél are alone.
“I was wondering if you can find out for me if Robbie Ray is interested in me?” Lilly’s mom asked.
“Why do you want me to do that?” Noél asked.
“Because I am in love with him and I can’t bring myself to tell him.” Lilly’s mom answered.
“You have the hots for him don’t you?” Noél asked.
“Yes I do. Can you talk to him for me?” Lilly’s mom told Noél.
“Sure thing.” Noél answered.
“Thanks. Can you also try and get us together before New Year’s Eve?” Lilly’s mom told Noél.
“I would love to do that.” Noél answered.
A two days after Christmas Noél walks up to Robbie Ray.
“Robbie Ray can I talk to you?” Noél asked.
“Sure you can.” Robbie Ray answered.
Now they are out of earshot of everyone.
“I was wondering what do you think of Lilly’s mom?” Noél asked.
“What are you talking?” Robbie Ray asked.
“What I meant by that is how do you feel about her?” Noél asked.
“Well the truth is I care about her a lot. I would do anything for her.” Robbie Ray answered.
“Really?” Noél asked.
“Yes I would.” Robbie Ray answered.
“That’s is so sweet.” Noél replied.
“Why do you want to know all this?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Well the truth is on Christmas at 3pm she came up to me and asked me to talk to you because she has the hots for you and that she is in love with you but she couldn’t bring herself to tell you so she had me tell you instead.” Noél answered.
“She does really?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Yes she does. Plus she is so perfect for you and I know that the two of you are going to make a cute couple plus if you two get married Miley and Lilly would be sister and I know how much they want to be sisters.” Noél answered.
“How did you know that?” Robbie Ray asked.
“Hello I’m an Elf I know everything.” Noél answered.
The next day goes by and it is now December 29th.
“Miley, Lilly I need to talk to you.” Noél said.
“What do you need to talk to us about?” Lilly asked.
“I was wondering if you two can help me get you parents together before New Year’s Eve which is in two days.” Noél answered.
“Sure we can help you.” Miley and Lilly replied.
“What do you want us to do?” Miley asked.
“Well for starters you two can help me set up a romantic dinner for two.” Noél answered.
As the hours passed it is now 7pm and Miley, Lilly and Noél just got through with setting up the romantic dinner for Robbie Ray and Lilly’s mom.
“I think we did a really good job.” Miley and Lilly said at the same time.
“Bernard would be so proud of me.” Noél said to under her breath.
“Noél what do you want us to do now?” Miley asked.
“Ok Miley I want you to go get your dad and bring him down her blindfolded and Lilly you go get your mom and bring her over here also blindfolded.” Noél answered.
“Why blindfolded?” Miley and Lilly asked.
“Because I want this to be a surprise ok.” Noél answered.
So Miley went to go get her dad and Lilly went home to get her mom. A few minutes later they were altogether and then Noél told Miley and Lilly that she can take it from here. At that moment Miley and Lilly left.
“Robbie Ray, Mrs. Truscott you can now take of your blindfolds.” Noél said.
“What is all this?” Robbie Ray asked.
“A dinner for two. Correction a romantic dinner for two and the two are you two.” Noél answered.
“Who did all this?” Lilly’s mom asked.
“I did with the help of your daughters.” Noél answered.
At that moment Noél snapped her fingers and the lights went out and the candles lit up and the music on the stereo turned on.
“Enjoy!” Noél said as she walked off and let them eat in peace.
When they were done eating they decided to slow dance with each other and then before they knew it they were kissing passionately and Miley, Lilly and Noél saw the whole thing. The next day goes by and it is now New Year’s Eve. The day goes by and it is now 2 hours before midnight. Robbie Ray and Lilly’s mom were cuddling with each other on the couch and then Robbie Ray pulled her close and kissed her passionately. At that moment Santa as Scott Calvin came up to her.
“So Noél I see you got those two together before today was over.” Scott said.
“Yeah you’re right and I couldn’t have done it without the help of Miley and Lilly, but I still got them together.” Noél said.
“So since you kept your promise I promised you that you will get a visit from someone special and you will see that special someone two minutes before midnight.” Scott said.
The hour goes by and it is now two minutes before midnight. Before Noél knew it she felt someone wrap their arms around her and when she turned around she saw that is was Bernard.
“Bernard!” Noél said as she was excited to see Bernard.
Noél and Bernard hugged each other. Now it is a 10 seconds before minute and everyone was counting down and when everyone was done Robbie Ray and Lilly’s mom kissed and Noél and Bernard kissed passionately.
“Happy New Year.” Miley, Lilly, Oliver and Jackson said.
“Happy New Year.” Robbie Ray and Lilly’s mom said.
Noél and Bernard were still kissing.
“Apparently they missed each other.” Robbie Ray said.
A few minutes later everyone went to sleep and the rest of the night went by and it is now morning. Noél and Bernard are saying good-bye to everyone.
“Good-bye everyone it is time for me to go back to the North Pole.” Noél said.
“Good-bye Noél and Bernard. We’ll miss you.” Everyone said at the same time.
After that they hugged everyone good-bye and Bernard used his Elf magic and they were now at the North Pole.

Chapter 7
Noél’s Return To The North Pole

It is 7am on New Year’s Day. Noél and Bernard are the first ones up and they are sitting on the steps in Santa’s Workshop kissing passionately. Two hours later the other Elves were just entering the workshop when one of the Elves noticed Noél and Bernard kissing. Santa, Holly, Curtis, Tannon, Jolly, Alexander, Ebenezer, Natalie, Christopher, Nicole, Jules, Christa, Nicholas and Quintin.
“Who is that Bernard is kissing?” Christa asked.
“That’s his fiancée Noél he is kissing.” Holly answered.
“Where has Noél been for the past year?” Nicole asked.
“She was down in Malibu, California.” Santa answered.
“What was she doing down there, Santa?” Natalie asked.
“I sent her down there to make sure that Jackson Stewart becomes nice and end up on the Nice list.” Santa answered.
A few minutes later Santa and Curtis walked over to where Bernard was kissing Noél. Santa cleared his throat. Bernard and Noél broke the kiss and looked up at Santa and Curtis.
“If you two are going to be kissing like that I suggest that you do it somewhere more private.” Santa said.
“Yeah because I don’t want to see all this kissing stuff it is too gross.” Curtis said.
“Curtis.” Santa said.
“What?” Curtis asked.
“Couldn’t you be more respectful towards them.” Santa answered.
“I don’t want to talk about it right now.” Curtis replied.
“Why don’t you want to talk about it right now Curtis?” Bernard asked.
“I just don’t ok.” Curtis answered.
“Are you sure about that Curtis?” Santa asked.
“Yes I am sure. Now leave me alone.” Curtis answered.
The whole time Curtis’s best friend Tannon was watching the whole thing. He then walked over to them.
“Hey, if he doesn’t want to talk about it than he doesn’t now leave him alone.” Tannon said.
“Thanks, Tannon.” Curtis said.
“You’re welcome.” Tannon said.
After he said that he looked over at Noél and fell in love with her.
“Hey, there beautiful. Would you like to go out with me someday?” Tannon asked.
Bernard was getting angry and Noél noticed.
“Listen, Tannon...” Bernard started to say.
Noél put her hand on Bernard’s mouth.
“I don’t think so Tannon plus I am engaged and I love my fiancé more than life itself.” Noél answered.
“Who are you engaged too?” Tannon asked.
“Bernard that’s who.” Noél answered.
“How can you be in love with a freak like him? What does he have that I don’t have?” Tannon asked.
“First of all Bernard is not a freak. He is sweet, especially to me. Second of all he loves me for who I am.” Noél answered.
“That’s true. I do love her for who she is. Although she is Absolutely Beautiful, she is much more than her Beauty.” Bernard replied.
“Awe...Do you really think that Bernard?” Noél asked.
“Of course I do, sweetie. I would be incomplete without you in my life.” Bernard answered.
At that moment Noél made a mistletoe appear.
“Where did that come from?” Bernard asked as he looked up and saw the mistletoe above them.
“It came from me Sweetheart.” Noél answered.
Before Bernard could say anything else he and Noél were kissing passionately and the other Elves left to give them some privacy. Three hours later they broke the kiss and went up to their room that they share. The months go by and it is now December again. Curtis goes up to Santa, Bernard and Noél.
“What is it Curtis?” Santa asked.
“I need to talk to the three of you.” Curtis answered.
“What about?” Bernard asked.
“About the reason why I didn’t show you and Noél respect at the beginning of the year.” Curtis answered.
“Yeah we remember.” Bernard and Noél replied at the same time.
“Well you know that I don’t like Bernard that much.” Curtis said.
“Yeah that’s true.” Bernard said.
“Well I don’t like Noél at all.” Curtis said.
“What is that suppose to mean, Curtis?” Noél asked.
“Well Santa gave my job to you on your first day here.” Curtis answered.
“What are you talking about?” Noél asked.
“Are you or are you not Bernard’s assistant and the number 2 head Elf?” Curtis asked.
Noél looks at Santa and Bernard and they nod their head yes.
“Yes I am Bernard’s assistant.” Noél answered.
“And she is the number 2 head Elf.” Santa added.
“Why?” Curtis asked.
“Well it was my idea to make her Bernard’s assistant.” Santa answered.
“And it was my idea to make her the number 2 head Elf.” Bernard added.
After that Curtis walks off, but Santa, Bernard and Noél don’t do anything about it because they know that he needs some time to himself. A few more days go by and it is 5 days before Christmas Eve which that make it December 19th.

Chapter 8
Noél’s and Bernard’s Wedding

December 19th went by and now it is Noél’s birthday. Bernard and Noél are just waking up in their room.
“Morning, baby.” Noél said.
“Morning, my beautiful birthday girl.” Bernard said.
Then Bernard gave his fiancée a passionate birthday kiss. Two hours later they broke the kiss. For the whole morning no one wished Noél a happy birthday. She thought that everyone besides Bernard forgot about her birthday.
“What gives?” Noél asked.
“What do you mean, sweetie?” Bernard asked.
“I mean no one except for you has said happy birthday to me.” Noél answered.
“You’re right no one has said happy birthday to you.” Bernard replied.
“Did they forget about my birthday?” Noél asked.
“I am not so sure sweetie.” Bernard answered.
“Well I am going back to our room.” Noél said.
Noél walked back to her’s and Bernard’s room in tears and when she was no longer in earshot of Bernard and the other Elves Bernard got the Elves together to help him throw a surprise birthday party for Noél.
“Ok, Elves, Noél is gone. You all did a good job not wishing her a happy birthday.” Bernard said.
“Why is that Bernard?” Curtis asked.
“Because she thinks that all of you forgot about her birthday.” Bernard answered.
For the rest of the morning and all afternoon Bernard and the Elves were decorating for Noél’s surprise birthday party. Just then Santa came up to Bernard.
“Bernard what are you doing?” Santa asked.
“I’m having the Elves help me decorate the workshop for Noél’s surprise birthday party.” Bernard answered.
“Why are you doing it today?” Santa asked.
“Well today is Noél’s birthday.” Bernard answered.
“Oh I forgot it was her birthday today.” Santa replied.
Santa is looking around the workshop.
“What or who are you looking for?” Bernard asked.
“I was wondering where is Noél.” Santa answered.
“Oh she’s in her’s and my room and she is probably crying.” Bernard replied.
“Why is she crying?” Santa asked.
“She thinks all the Elves except me has forgotten about her birthday.” Bernard answered.
“You know Bernard I was just wondering what she is doing in your room right now?” Santa asked.
“You know Santa I was thinking the same thing.” Bernard answered.
~Meanwhile in Bernard’s and Noél’s room~
Noél is sitting on the window seat by her window and she is listening to some songs and that she is also singing those songs that are on her laptop while looking out her window and looking at a picture that she has of Bernard on her laptop. The first song she is listening to and singing is “Right Here Waiting” by Richard Marx.
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn’t stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can’t get near you now
Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me goin’ crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I’m with you
I’ll take the chance
Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me goin’ crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you.
The next song that she is listening to and sing is “From A Distance” by Bette Midler.
From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It’s the voice of hope, it’s the voice of peace,
It’s the voice of every man.
From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They’re the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.
From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.
From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves,
it’s the heart of every man.
It’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.
After she sang that song Bernard and Santa snuck in to the room to see what she was doing and they saw her sitting at the window on the window seat and they heard her sing another song and that song is called “Do-Re-Mi” from the Sound of Music. Noél sings the same parts as Maria.
Maria: Let’s start at the very beginning

“Santa why don’t you go back down there and I’ll get Noél to come down but for now I want to be alone with her.” Bernard whispered.
Santa shook his head and went back down stairs to where the other Elves were waiting for Noél. Bernard walked over to Noél.
“Noél.” Bernard said.
“Oh, hi, sweetheart.” Noél said.
Bernard kissed Noél passionately and then a few minutes later he took her downstairs.
“Sweetie can you come downstairs with me I have something waiting for you downstairs?” Bernard asked.
“Sure I can, sweetheart.” Noél answered.
“Wait close your eyes first.” Bernard said.
“Why?” Noél asked.
“Because I don’t want you to see your surprise until we get down there.” Bernard answered.
So Noél closed her eyes and Bernard took hold of her hand and lead her downstairs to where Santa and the other Elves were waiting. Now Bernard and Noél are downstairs.
“Ok, Noél open your eyes right now.” Bernard said.
When Noél opened her eyes Bernard, Santa and the Elves shouted.
“SUPRISE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOÉL!” Everyone shouted.
Noél was shocked and surprised.
“Who did all this?” Noél asked.
“I did it, sweetie. With the help of all the Elves.” Bernard answered.
“I thought you all forgot about my birthday.” Noél said.
“The truth is they didn’t forget at all.” Bernard said.
“Then why did no one wish me a happy birthday this morning?” Noél asked.
“Well I told them not to because I didn’t want them to spoil your surprise birthday party.” Bernard answered.
“You know what Bernard.” Noél replied.
“What?” Bernard asked.
“You are just too good to be true and you are the best at being you and don’t ever change that.” Noél answered.
“Thanks, sweetie.” Bernard replied.
“You’re welcome, sweetheart.” Noél said.
At that moment Bernard pulled Noél close to him and kissed her passionately. A few minutes later they broke the kiss.
“Sweetie I have a special birthday present for you.” Bernard said.
“What is it?” Noél asked.
“A song.” Bernard answered.
So Bernard sang his special song to Noél and the song is called “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons.
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
I love you baby and if it’s quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don’t bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I’ve found you stay
And let me love you baby, let me love you
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
I love you baby and if it’s quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don’t bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I’ve found you stay
Oh pretty baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby.
“Thanks, baby.” Noél said.
“You’re welcome, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Sweetheart, I know that it is my birthday but I would like to sing you a song right now.” Noél said.
“Cool. I love hearing you sing, sweetie.” Bernard said.
Now Noél is singing the song to Bernard and the song is called “Stay The Same” by Joey McIntyre.
Don’t you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don’t you ever say you don’t like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself, you’re better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,
cuz there’s nothin’ ‘bout you I would change.
I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize, all the dreams you have inside.
Don’t be afraid if you’ve got something to say,
Just open up your heart and let it show you the way.
Don’t you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don’t you ever say you don’t like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself, you’re better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,
cuz there’s nothin’ ‘bout you I would change.
Believe in yourself.
Reach down inside.
The love you find will set you free.
Believe in yourself, you will come alive.
Have faith in what you do.
You’ll make it through.
Don’t you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don’t you ever say you don’t like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself, you’re better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,
cuz there’s nothin’ ‘bout you I would change.
No there’s nothin’ ‘bout you I would change.
Don’t change.
“That was a great song, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Thanks, baby.” Noél said.
The rest of Noél’s birthday goes by and also the next three days go by and it is now Christmas Eve. The day where Bernard and Noél get married. The morning goes by and Bernard and Noél are getting ready. Santa is helping Bernard while Holly and Carol are helping Noél. Just then Noél lets out a long sigh.
“What’s wrong, Noél?” Carol asked.
“I’m just nervous that’s all.” Noél answered.
“Why are you nervous?” Carol asked.
“I don’t know I just am.” Noél answered.
“Well you shouldn’t be because you are getting married to the love of your life the man of your dreams.” Carol replied.
“You’re right Carol. Thank you for helping me out and I don’t feel so nervous anymore.” Noél said.
“You’re welcome. I am always here to help you if you need help.” Carol said.
“Yeah so am I.” Holly said.
~Meanwhile with Bernard and Santa~
“Santa I don’t know if I can do this.” Bernard said nervously.
“Why is that Bernard?” Santa asked.
“I am nervous that’s for sure.” Bernard answered.
“Why are you nervous?” Santa asked.
“I don’t know I just am.” Bernard answered.
A few hours go by and the wedding is starting. Bernard is already at the front waiting for Noél. Now Noél is walking down the aisle. Bernard can’t believe his eyes.
“She looks absolutely beautiful.” Bernard thinks to himself.
As Noél is walking down the aisle she looks at Bernard and she can’t believe her eyes.
“He looks Absolutely Gorgeous.” Noél thinks to herself.
Now Noél is standing right beside Bernard. Santa and Carol are the ones that are going to marry Bernard and Noél.
“Bernard do you take Noél to be you lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold through sickness and in health as long as the both shall be my Head Elves.” Santa said.
“I do.” Bernard said.
“Noél do you take Bernard to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold through sickness and in health as long as the both shall be Santa’s Head Elves.” Carol said.
“I do.” Noél said.
“Now it’s time for the exchanging of the rings.” Santa said.
Curtis walks up to Santa and Carol and hands them each a ring.
“Now Bernard put this ring on Noél’s finger and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed.” Santa said as he handed Bernard the ring.
“With this ring I thee wed.” Bernard said as he put the ring on Noél’s finger.
“Now Noél put this ring on Bernard’s finger and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed.” Carol said as she handed Noél the ring.
“With this ring I thee wed.” Noél said as she put the ring on Bernard’s finger.
“By the power infested in us we now pronounced you husband and wife.” Santa and Carol said at the same time.
“You may now kiss your beautiful bride, Bernard.” Carol said.
So Bernard pulled Noél close and kissed her passionately. A few minutes later they broke the kiss. An hour went by and now it is time for the first dance between the bride and groom. So Bernard and Noél are dancing their first dance as husband and wife. After their first dance was over Bernard sang a song to his new wife.
“I would like to sing a song to my new wife.” Bernard said.
So the song that Bernard is going to sing is called “The First Noél.”
“I love it when he sings.” Noél thinks to herself.
Noél, Noél, Noél, Noél
Born is the King of Israel
The first Noél, the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night
That was so deep
Noél, Noél, Noél, Noél
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the the East
Beyond them far
And to the earth
It gave great light
And so it continued
Both day and night
Noél, Noél, Noél, Noél,
Born is the King of Israel.
They spied the light of that same star,
Three wise men came
From country far;
To seek for a King
Was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noél, Noél, Noél, Noél,
Born is the King of Israel.
Born is the King of Israel.
“Oh, Bernard, sweetheart that is my favorite Christmas song.” Noél said.
“I know that is why I sang it.” Bernard said.
“How did you know that was my favorite song?” Noél asked.
“I overheard you telling Holly what your favorite Christmas song was.” Bernard answered.
“Oh Bernard you are just the sweetest. That is what I love about you.” Noél replied.
The rest of the day goes by and everyone is now asleep except for the newlyweds. Bernard and Noél are up in their room kissing passionately. they continue kissing until the fall sleep in each other’s embrace.

[Esteban’s Wife]

Chapter 9
The Christmas After Their Wedding

It is now Christmas morning. Everyone is just now waking up.
“Morning, sweetie. Merry Christmas, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Morning, baby. Merry Christmas, sweetheart.” Noél said.
Bernard gave his new wife a passionate kiss. An hour later they all gather around Santa and Carol in Santa’s Workshop. There Santa and Carol were sitting to two chairs and they were passing out the presents to all the Elves. A few minutes later there were only two presents left and Santa had one of them and Carol had the other and they read out the names.
“This one is for Bernard.” Santa said as a smile grew on Noél’s face.
“Who is it from Santa?” Bernard asked as he walked up and got his gift from Santa.
“Take a look for yourself.” Santa answered.
“Last but not least this one is for Noél.” Carol said as a smile grew on Bernard’s face.
“Who is it from Carol?” Noél asked as she walked up and got her gift from Carol.
“Take a look for yourself, Noél.” Carol answered.
So when Bernard and Noél looked at who their gifts were from a smile grew on their faces and they just looked at each other. When Bernard opened up his gift he took out a plush Gingerbread boy. When Noél opened her gift she took out a plush Gingerbread girl.
“I love my gift.” Bernard and Noél said to each other at the same time.
“I gave your Gingerbread girl a name.” Bernard said.
“I gave your Gingerbread boy a name, too.” Noél said.
“What did you name mine?” Bernard asked.
“I named him Bernard after you.” Noél answered.
“That’s so sweet of you.” Bernard replied.
“What did you name mine?” Noél asked.
“I named her Noél after you.” Bernard answered.
“That is so sweet of you to name her after me.” Noél replied.
A few hours later and it is now 5pm. Noél asked Santa with she and Bernard could sing a 13 Christmas songs.
“Santa, Bernard and I were wondering if we could sing 13 Christmas songs to you, Carol and all of the Elves?” Noél asked.
“Sure you and Bernard can. That will make Christmas even better.” Santa answered.
“Thanks Santa.” Noél replied.
“You’re welcome.” Santa said.
Here is the first song that they are going to sing together. The song is called “Home For Christmas” by *NSYNC.
Crossing the ocean with my window view
Thinking of the time I spent with you
And I close my eyes
I see the family
Making out their wish list
All dressed up for Christmas
On my own for too many years
I miss the happiness
I miss the tears
When I close my eyes
And I’m all alone
I think of all the love we shared
When I need a friend
Or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I’ve been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
Cause this year (this year)
I’ll be home for Christmas Day
I see the children playing in the snow
Precious memories that I used to know
When I see the love in the mother’s eyes
Always there to teach us
The real meaning of Christmas
On my own for too many years
I miss the happiness
I miss the tears
When I close my eyes
And I’m all alone
I think of all the love we shared
When I need a friend
Or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I’ve been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
Cause this year (this year)
I’ll be home for Christmas
It doesn't matter how alone you think you are
Something happens to you
When you see that shining star
When I close my eyes
And I’m all alone
I think of all the love we shared
When I need a friend
Or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I’ve been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
Cause this year (this year)
I’ll be home for Christmas
When I close my eyes
And I’m all alone
I think of all the love we shared
When I need a friend
Or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I’ve been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire,
I’m sending out this wire
That this year
I’ll be home for Christmas Day
[CHOIR & BERNARD AND NOÉL:]
ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
ooh, I’m comin’ home
ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
ooh, I’m comin’ home
one more time say ooh...
ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
ooh, I’m comin’ home

The next song is that Bernard sings to his wife Noél is called “Under My Tree” by *NSYNC.
It’s that time of year
Christmas is here
Everybody’s back together again
Spreading the joy,
Spreading good cheer
Toasting to another year’s end
So thankful for,
All of our friends
When the party is over,
The night’s just begun
I promise the best part
Is yet to come
Slow dance together,
Two become one
That’s what we’ve waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Then hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I’ll show you how good it could be.
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It’s beautiful
Under my tree
The fire’s aglow
We’ve got Nat King Cole
Singing us a song from his heart
Sleigh bells and snow
Makes us feel close
To the stars
When the carols are sung and
The fire has died
The embers still burns with the love in our eyes
We cherish the moment
We savor the night
That’s what we’ve waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Then hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I’ll show you how good it could be.
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It’s beautiful
Under my tree
No one but me
No one but you
See rendez-vous (under my tree)
No one but me
No one but you
When the party is over,
The night’s just begun
I promise the best part
Is yet to come
We slow dance together,
Two become one
That’s what we’ve waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Then hold you all through the night
Under my tree (under my tree)
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I’ll show you how good it could be.
I wish that Santa could be here to see
I wish that Santa could be here to see
No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Then make all your dreams come true
Under my tree
Such a cozy rendez-vous
Just relax enjoy the view
I’ll show you how could it could be.
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It’s beautiful, beautiful, beautiful under my tree
It’s that time of year
Christmas is here
It’s that time of year
Christmas is here
Full of love and good cheer.
The next song Bernard is going to sing to his wife Noél again. The song is called “I Never Knew The Meaning of Christmas” by *NSYNC.
Lookin’ back on childhood days
I can’t believe my foolish ways
Thought that Christmas only came from a store
Had to know what was there for me
Underneath the Christmas tree
I didn’t know that there could be so much more
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl you made me finally see
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
‘Till you came into my life
I was lost in the dark
‘Till you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star
And girl here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
‘Till I looked into you eyes
Comin’ home for the holidays
Seeing friends from around away
There was always something missing for me
On a sleigh ride caroling
Didn’t really mean anything
Without that someone who can make it complete
While the snows falling down
There was joy all around
‘Cause girl your love has shown me the way
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
‘Till you came into my life
I was lost in the dark
‘Till you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star
And girl here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
‘Till I looked into your eyes
Fa la la Fa la la...
Fa la la la la
Sing it la la la la
la la la
Fa la Fa la la...
Fa la la la la
Sing it la la la la
la la la..
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl you made me finally see..yeah
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
(never knew, never knew, never knew...)
‘Till you came into my life
I was lost in the dark
‘Till you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star
And girl here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
‘Till I looked into you eyes
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
‘Till I looked into your eyes
The next song Bernard and Noél are singing together. The song is called “Merry Christmas Happy Holidays” by *NSYNC.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

The next song they both sing together and it is called “The Christmas Song” by *NSYNC.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols
Being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Can help to make the season bright
Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep, tonight
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loading lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And every mother’s child
Is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly...
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, to you
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loading lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And every mother’s child
Is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly...
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two..
Although it’s been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, to you
[Bernard] Merry Christmas
The next song they both sing together and the song is called “I Guess It’s Christmas Time” by *NSYNC.
Feel the magic in the air
Christmas is all around
Somethin’ about this special time of year
A blanket of snow falls down from the sky
Voices of angels
Open our hearts so we can open our arms
And we’ll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it’s Christmas time
Seein’ the face of the little boys and girls
Singing their first “Noél”
A sweet refrain heard all around the world
A song of forgiveness, comforting peace
A time to remember, what life really means (life really means)
The important things (important things)
And we’ll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it’s Christmas time...
Guess it’s Christmas time...
Open our hearts so we can open our arms
And we’ll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it’s Christmas time...
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it’s Christmas time...
[spoken by Bernard] Merry Christmas
The next song Bernard sings to his wife Noél. The song is called “All I Want Is You This Christmas” by *NSYNC.
Snowy Night
Where it’s warm here by the fire
Here with you (here with you)
I have all that I desire
It’s been a long year
But somehow we got by
Now it’s Christmas Eve
And love is on our side
I don’t need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
Don’t you know the best thing you could give to me
Nothin’ else will do,
All I want is you this Christmas
Children sing (children sing)
Christmas carols at our door
Spreading joy, (spreading joy)
That’s what Christmas time is for
Though we don’t have much
You’ve got me and I’ve got you
And with a little faith
Miracles come true
And I don’t need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
Don’t you know the best thing you could give to me
Nothin’ else will do,
All I want is you this Christmas
I don’t want the love of any other girl
I want only thing in this whole wide world
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
Cheek to cheek
The lights are low
A kiss beneath the mistletoe
Your face lit by the fire’s glow That’s all I want tonight
And I don’t need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
Don’t you know the best thing you could give to me
Nothin’ else will do,
All I want is you this Christmas
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
The next song they sing together and the song is called “The First Noél” by *NSYNC.
Noél, Noél, Noél, Noél
Born is the King of Israel
The first Noél, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night
That was so deep
Noél, Noél, Noél, Noél
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the the East
Beyond them far
And to the earth
It gave great light
And so it continued
Both day and night
Noél, Noél, Noél, Noél,
Born is the King of Israel.
They spied the light of that same star,
Three wise men came
From country far;
To seek for a King
Was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noél, Noél, Noél, Noél,
Born is the King of Israel.
Born is the King of Israel.
The next song Bernard is singing to his wife Noél. The song is called “In Love On Christmas” by *NSYNC.
Jingle bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Jingle bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way

Jingle bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Christmas time

I’ve prayed
To be in love
On Christmas
Because Christmas love gives me that feelin’
We’ll share

Last year, Christmas
It happened without us
I was all mixed up and confused

I always thought Christmas was a happy day
I always prayed that Santa’d pack love on a sleigh and send it my way
We’ll share
I’ve prayed
To be in love
On Christmas
Because Christmas love gives me that feelin’
We’ll share
I’ve prayed
To be in love
On Christmas

What a beautiful time it is
A time to open gifts
And play with all the kids
Yes it’s Christmas
Yes it’s Christmas time again
Girl I love you
Yes I love you
It’s Christmas time again
To be in love
On Christmas
Girl I love you baby
Yes I love you baby
What a beautiful time it is
A time to open gifts
Yes now it’s Christmas time
Now I am yours and you are mine
Oh when you kissing me
Right under my Christmas tree
Baby come close to me
‘Cause this is how it should be
We’ll share
I’ve prayed
To be in love
On Christmas
Because Christmas love gives me that feelin’
We’ll share
I’ve prayed
To be in love
On Christmas

Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
aah...oooh
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear’d and the soul felt its worth.
The thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night...divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh holy night

I know great distance still remains..
Between us
But there’s good reason to hold on
It’s the happiest time of the year
Filled with laughter and good cheer
As you watch the snow
Sweet love you’ll hear me say
You’ve got my heart on Christmas
Inside my soul your love remains
Love’s in our hearts
On Christmas day
The days and weeks and months go by
So slowly
We are both wishing them to fly
As the night begins to fall
Twilight crowns the bedroom cheer
Such a rush of joy
Your love, it comforts me
And I do believe
Loves in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Loves in our hearts
On Christmas day
Snowflake melts in your eye and turns to tear
But you cheek it stays dry
With your warm smile so near
I have no fear
We’re gonna make it
Loves in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Loves in our hearts (love is in our hearts)
On Christmas day...
Though far apart
As one we pray
Loves in our hearts
On Christmas day.
The next song they sing to each other. The song is called “The Only Gift” by *NSYNC.
I was making my list
I was checking it twice
In the middle of this
I got tears in my eyes
For in my foolish heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you
I was trimming the tree
I was stringing the lights
While the radio played “Silent Night”
There were present you sent
Though there were quite a few
The only gift I wanted was you
You need to be home with me
Alone with me
Holding me next to the Christmas tree
Kissing under the mistletoe
As candles blow
Please come home soon
It’s not the same without you
As the bittersweet night
Had come to an end
I was saying goodbye
To our family and friends
And they all wished me well
And I knew that I knew
The only gift I wanted was you
You need to be home with me
Alone with me
Holding me next to the Christmas tree
Kissing under the mistletoe
As candles blow
Please come home soon
It’s not the same without you
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la...
The only gift I wanted was you
You need to be home with me
Alone with me
Holding me next to the Christmas tree
Kissing under the mistletoe
As candles blow
Please come home soon
It’s not the same without you
I was making my list
I was checking it twice
In the middle of this
I got tears in my eyes
For in my wishful heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you
For in my wishful heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you.
After that it was time for everyone to go to bed. Bernard and Noél are in their room kissing passionately and then they fell asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 10
Their Honeymoon

It is now December 26th the first day of Bernard’s and Noél’s honeymoon. All morning Bernard and Noél were packing their suitcases and saying good-bye to Carol, Santa and the Elves. Later that day Bernard decided to go see Charlie, Laura, Neil and Lucy because they haven’t met Noél yet.
“Bernard, sweetheart, what are we doing here?” Noél asked.
“We are here to see Charlie Calvin, his mom Laura, Dr. Neil and Lucy Miller.” Bernard answered.
“Is Charlie, Santa’s son?” Noél asked.
“Yes he is and he is now 21 years old.” Bernard answered.
Bernard knocked on the door and Charlie opened the door and noticed Bernard right away.
“Hi, Bernard.” Charlie said.
“Hiya, Sport.” Bernard said.
“You haven’t called me Sport since the day my Dad realized that he was Santa Claus.” Charlie said.
“Yeah I know.” Bernard said.
So Charlie let Bernard and Noél in the house.
“Mom, Neil, Lucy, we have some visitors.” Charlie called out.
So Laura, Neil and Lucy came to see who was visiting. Laura and Neil recognized Bernard right away and Lucy was meeting Bernard for the first time.
“Who are you?” Lucy asked.
“Lucy this is Bernard. He is Santa’s Head Elf.” Charlie answered.
“Nice to meet you Bernard.” Lucy said.
“Nice to meet you too, Lucy.” Bernard said.
“Who is your friend?” Neil asked.
“Oh, this is Noél she is my assistant and the 2nd Head Elf.” Bernard answered.
“Nice to meet you Noél.” Charlie, Laura, Neil and Lucy said at the same time.
“Nice to meet all of you too.” Noél said.
“I love you hair, Noél. It is so beautiful.” Lucy said.
“Thanks Lucy.” Noél said.
“I wish my hair was like that.” Lucy said.
“You do really?” Noél asked.
“Yes I do very much.” Lucy answered.
“Lucy close your eyes because I have a surprise for you.” Noél said.
Everyone gave Noél a look but Bernard knew what Noél was going to give Lucy. So then Lucy closed her eyes. Then Noél looked at Bernard and Bernard looked at Noél and they nodded at each other and Charlie, Laura and Neil had no idea what she was up to. Just then Noél snapped her fingers at Lucy’s hair and her hair magically changed from straight hair to braided hair just like Noél’s hair.
“Ok, Lucy you can open your eyes now.” Noél said.
So Lucy opened her eyes and was confused.
“Where’s my surprise?” Lucy asked.
“It is right here.” Noél answered as she held a mirror in front of Lucy so that she can see her hair.
“My hair is so beautiful and it looks just like yours, Noél. Thank you so much. I love it.” Lucy replied excitely and gave Noél a hug.
“You’re welcome Lucy.” Noél said.
“Well we can’t stay long.” Bernard said.
“Why can’t you stay longer?” Laura asked.
“Well the truth is we’re on our Honeymoon.” Bernard answered.
“Honeymoon!?!” Charlie, Laura, Neil and Lucy asked in shock at the same time.
“Yes, Bernard and I got married on Christmas Eve which was two days ago.” Noél answered.
“So exactly when did you two meet each other?” Charlie asked.
“Three years ago on December 20th which is my birthday.” Noél answered.
“Really?” Laura asked.
“Really, really.” Noél answered.
“So Noél what did you do last year on Christmas Eve?” Lucy asked.
“What I was down in Malibu, California visiting the Stewart family because Santa wanted me to make sure that Jackson Stewart the son of Robbie Ray Stewart and the older brother of Miley Stewart to behave himself and to make sure that he ended up on the nice list because Jackson has been on the naughty list all his life. Until I went down there and now Jackson is on the nice list now. By the way Miley Stewart is also Hannah Montana.” Noél answered.
“How did you know that Miley is Hannah Montana? Did she tell you?” Bernard asked.
“No she didn’t. I just knew she was.” Noél answered.
“I would love to meet Hannah Montana.” Lucy said.
“You do?” Noél asked in a shock.
“Yes I do she is my favorite singer.” Lucy answered.
“So Noél what do you say that you and Bernard take us to Malibu so that Lucy can meet Hannah Montana?” Laura asked.
“Well I guess so. Yeah sure but just remember Bernard and I are on a Honeymoon.” Noél answered.
“Don’t worry we won’t bother you that much or even at all.” Laura replied.
Two days later they were all in Malibu, California and at the Stewart’s house.
“Ok you all wait here while I’ll see if they are home.” Noél said.
“I’m coming with you.” Bernard said.
“No, sweetheart you have to stay here because they know my more than they know you.” Noél said.
“Why is that?” Charlie asked.
“Well when I came down here last year, Santa made me come alone and Bernard had to stay at the North Pole.” Noél answered.
“Why?” Neil asked.
“He didn’t want them to figure out that we are Elves until Christmas Eve last year.” Noél answered.
“How did they not see your ears?” Laura asked.
“My hair was covering my ears the whole time I was here.” Noél answered.
After that Noél went to the front door and rang the doorbell and Miley opened the door and when she opened the door and saw who was on the other she was happy to see Noél again.
“Hi, Noél. Long time no see.” Miley said.
“Hi, Miley.” Noél said.
“So what are you doing here again?” Miley asked.
“Well you know that I’m an Elf right?” Noél asked.
“Yeah I do.” Miley answered.
“Yeah well the truth is I know that you are Hannah Montana and don’t act like you’re not because I know you are.” Noél replied.
“So why are you here again?” Miley asked.
“Well the truth is I brought a 12 year old girl name Lucy Miller here with me and she is Hannah Montana’s #1 fan and she really wants to meet Hannah.” Noél answered.
“Oh cool I will go up and change into Hannah.” Miley replied as she walked off.
“Oh Miley can you have your dad change into Mr. Montana, please.” Noél said.
“Sure thing. I will go tell him.” Miley said.
“Ok I will bring Lucy in here while I’m waiting for you to come down as Hannah.” Noél said.
Now Miley went upstairs to tell her dad to change into Mr. Montana and she changed into Hannah Montana. At the meantime Noél got Bernard, Charlie, Laura, Neil and Lucy into the house.
“Ok, you are sit here and wait for Hannah and Mr. Montana to come downstairs.” Noél said.
So they waited for a few minutes and then Hannah came down with her dad Mr. Montana.
“So you must be Lucy Miller?” Hannah asked.
“Yes I am, Hannah.” Lucy answered.
“So Lucy what is your favorite song that you want me to sing?” Hannah asked.
“My favorite song is “Life’s What You Make It”.” Lucy answered.
So Hannah sang “Life’s What You Make It” for Lucy.

“I love that song so much. Thanks for singing it for me Hannah.” Lucy said.
“You’re welcome.” Hannah said.
After that Hannah gave Lucy a hug and her autograph and Laura took a picture of Lucy with Hannah and another one with Lucy, Hannah and Mr. Montana. The last days of December goes by and it is now the new year.

Chapter 11
Rico Meets Noél and Bernard

A few weeks later Bernard and Noél are at the beach near Rico’s Surf Shop. Just then Noél noticed Jackson Stewart.
“Hi, Jackson.” Noél said.
“Hi, Noél.” Jackson said.
“What are you doing here?” Noél asked.
“I work here.” Jackson answered.
“Oh.” Noél replied.
“What are you doing here?” Jackson asked.
“I’m on my honeymoon with my husband Bernard.” Noél answered.
Just then a little boy walked over.
“Hey there sweet thing.” The little boy said to Noél.
“Noél this is my boss, Rico. Rico this is Noél.” Jackson said.
“How would you like to go out with me sometime?” Rico asked.
“Sorry, but you’re too short for me and plus I’m way to old for you.” Noél answered.
“So the height that age doesn’t matter.” Rico replied.
“Rico I just can’t go out with you ok.” Noél said.
“Why?” Rico asked.
“Because she’s married.” Bernard answered.
“Married to who?’ Rico asked.
“Me. I’m Noél’s husband.” Bernard answered.
“Who are you?” Rico asked.
“I’m Bernard.” Bernard answered.
“Rico do you believe in Santa Claus?” Noél asked.
“Why do you want to know?” Rico asked.
“Just answer my question Rico.” Noél replied.
“Yes I do believe in Santa Claus.” Rico answered.
“Ok, do you believe in Santa’s Elves?” Noél asked.
“Santa’s what?” Rico asked.
“Elves? Santa’s Elves? You know the ones you makes the toys for all the little girls and boys?” Noél asked.
“Oh yeah. I do.” Rico answered.
“Well Bernard and I are Santa’s Head Elf.” Noél whispered to Rico.
“Oh ok.” Rico said.
“Well we can’t stay long because like I said before Bernard and I are on our honeymoon.” Noél said.
“Bye.” Rico and Jackson said at the same time.
“Bye.” Bernard and Noél said at the same time.
A few more weeks went by and it was starting to get extremely hot and Bernard and Noél couldn’t stand the heat at all so they decided to go back to the North Pole.
“Sweetheart, can we go back home to the North Pole?” Noél asked.
“Yeah sure we can. Because it is getting to hot here now and we can’t stand the heat.” Bernard answered.
So Bernard and Noél left Malibu, California and went back to the North Pole.

Chapter 12
Their One Year Anniversary

Noél and Bernard are sleeping in their room when suddenly Noél wakes up with a funny feeling. Noél shakes Bernard. Bernard moans than wakes up and looks at the clock on their nightstand.
“What?” Bernard asked.
“I’ve got this really funny feeling that something isn’t right.” Noél answered.
“What do you mean?” Bernard asked.
“I’ve never told you this but I can sense when one of the Elves is sick and that’s what it is.” Noél answered.
“Do you know who it is?” Bernard asked.
“I haven’t figured that out yet.” Noél answered.
Noél gets to her feet and starts leaving the room.
“Where are you going?” Bernard asked.
“I’m going to see if I can find out which Elf is sick.” Noél answered.
Noél leaves the room and starts walking down the hall. Bernard gets to his feet and follows her. Noél suddenly stops at Holly’s bedroom door.
“Oh no it’s Holly.” Noél said.
Bernard and Noél walk into Holly’s bedroom. Holly is sitting up in the bed looking really pale. Noél walks over to the bed and sits down next to her best friend.
“How are you feeling Holly?” Noél asked.
“Not so great.” Holly answered.
Santa comes into the room.
“What’s going on in here?” Santa asked.
“Holly is sick Santa.” Bernard answered.
“Could you two take care of her please?” Santa asked.
“Yeah sure I guess.” Bernard answered.
Santa leaves to get ready for his Christmas Eve. Noél glares at Bernard.
“I want to spend the day with you and we can’t do that if we have to look after Holly.” Noél said.
“What are we going to do about her?” Bernard asked.
“I could get another Elf to take care of her.” Noél answered.
“Like who?” Bernard asked.
“I was thinking Chris.” Noél answered.
Holly looks at Noél.
“I don’t want him to look after me!” Holly yelled.
“Well he is whether you like it or not.” Noél said.
Bernard and Noél walk down to the workshop hand in hand. Noél walks over to where Chris is.
“Could you do me a huge favor?” Noél asked.
“That depends on what it is.” Chris answered.
“Well you see today is mine and Bernard’s one year anniversary. It just so happens that Holly is sick today. Santa wants us to look after her but I don’t want to because I just want to spend the day with Bernard today.” Noél answered.
“What are you trying to ask me?” Chris asked.
“I was wondering if you’d look after Holly for us.” Noél answered.
Chris sighs.
“Holly’s sick?” Chris asked.
“Yes Christopher she is.” Noél answered.
“I don’t know if I want to.” Chris said.
“Does it have anything do with your secret crush on her?” Noél asked.
Chris sighs than nods his head.
“Yeah it does.” Chris answered.
“I thought so.” Noél said.
“How did you know that I had a secret crush on Holly?” Chris asked.
“It’s pretty obvious because you are watching her so close and you smile whenever she walks into the same room with you. You also blush when she’s around you.” Noél answered.
Chris smiles than walks up to Holly’s bedroom and knocks on the door.
“Come in.” Holly said.
Chris walks into Holly’s room than sits on the edge of the bed.
“I heard from Noél that you’re not feeling that great today.” Chris said.
“You heard right.” Holly replied.
Chris sighs.
“Do you need anything to help you be more comfortable?” Chris asked.
“I could use another pillow and a couple of aspirin because I have a headache.” Holly answered.
“Anything else?” Chris asked.
“Yeah I would like some unsalted soda crackers and a glass of ginger ale.” Holly answered.
Chris leaves than comes back a few minutes with another pillow, a bowl of unsalted soda crackers and a glass of ginger ale. Chris puts the extra pillow under Holly’s head.
“Is that better?” Chris asked.
“Yeah that’s much better.” Holly answered.
“That’s good to hear.” Chris said.
“Chris is so nice. He’s also really cute. Hold on here a minute this so wrong because I can’t and I will not fall for him. Oh it’s no use fighting my feelings.” Holly said.
Chris notices how deep in thought Holly is.
“What are you thinking about?” Chris asked.
“It’s nothing important.” Holly answered.
“Are you sure?” Chris asked.
“Yes I’m sure.” Holly answered.
Chris starts to leave.
“I’m going to get a thermometer so I can check your temperature.” Chris said.
Holly nods her head. Chris leaves than comes back with a thermometer and puts it into Holly’s mouth. A few minutes it beeps and he takes it out than looks at it. Chris’s eyes widens when he sees it.
“What does it say?” Holly asked.
“It’s 103.8.” Chris answered.
“What? Are you serious?” Holly asked.
“Yes I am.” Chris answered concern in his voice.
“Why are you so worried about me?” Holly asked.
“I’m worried because I love you.” Chris answered than covers his mouth but it’s too late.
“You what?” Holly asked.
“I said that I love you Holly.” Chris answered.
“Why?” Holly asked.
“You’re special that’s why.” Chris answered.
A funny feeling suddenly comes over Holly than she leans over and kisses Chris. Noél comes into Holly’s room at the very moment to see them in a passionate liplock. Noél went to go get Bernard.
“What is it, sweetie?” Bernard asked.
“Sweetheart, look at Chris and Holly.” Noél answered.
“Are they kissing?” Bernard asked.
“Yes they are.” Noél answered.
Bernard and Noél walk into the room and they clear their throats. Chris and Holly breaks the kiss.
“How long have you two been there?” Holly asked.
“A few minutes.” Noél answered.
“Why were the two of you kissing like that?” Bernard asked.
“Because we’re in love with each other.” Holly answered.
“Holly I told you that you are going to find someone that loves you for who you are.” Bernard replied.
“Yeah I guess you’re right Bernard.” Holly said.
So Bernard and Noél left to be alone with each other because after all it is their one year anniversary. Now Bernard and Noél are alone in their room and as soon as they got in their room and closed their door they started kissing passionately and without breaking the kiss they fell down on the bed and continue to kiss for the rest of the night and then they started making love to each other and then they fell asleep in each other’s embrace. The next morning they both wake up looking into each other’s eyes.
“Morning, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Morning, baby.” Noél said.
“Merry Christmas, sweetie.” Bernard said.
“Merry Christmas, baby.” Noél said.
A few hours go by and Noél couldn’t find Bernard at all. Just then Curtis walked by.
“Hey, Curtis, have you seen Bernard?” Noél asked.
“No I haven’t seen him at all today.” Curtis answered.
“Oh ok, thanks Curtis.” Noél replied.
Curtis left. Noél was getting worried. Just then Carol came over to her.
“What’s wrong, Noél?” Carol asked.
“I can’t find Bernard anywhere.” Noél answered as tears fell down from her eyes.
“When was the last time you saw him?” Carol asked.
“This morning.” Noél answered.
“I think you should go talk to Scott about this.” Carol suggested.
“Thanks, Carol. I think that I will go ask him.” Noél said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
So Noél went over to where Santa is at.
“Santa can I talk to you for a moment, please?” Noél asked.
“Sure you can.” Santa answered.
Noél and Santa are out of earshot of the other Elves.
“Santa I was wondering if you knew where Bernard is at?” Noél asked.
“Yes I do know where he is at.” Santa answered.
“Where is he than?” Noél asked.
“I sent him down to Malibu, California to keep in eye on Jackson to make sure that he stays on the nice list.” Santa answered.
“Oh ok. When is he coming back up here?” Noél asked.
“Tomorrow.” Santa answered.
“WHAT!?!” Noél asked in a shock.
Before Santa could answer Noél she was already gone and out of earshot of Santa when he tried calling her back. Noél is up in her room crying when Carol walks by. Carol hears Noél crying so she goes into Noél’s room.
“Noél what’s wrong, sweetie?” Carol asked.
“Oh Carol, Bernard is down in Malibu, California.” Noél answered through her tears.
“Why is that making you cry?” Carol asked.
“Santa told me that Bernard won’t be back up here until tomorrow and I want Bernard today.” Noél answered.
“Why don’t you tell him that you want Bernard today?” Carol asked.
“How will I tell him that I want Bernard today?” Noél asked.
“I am not sure but I’m sure that you will find a way to tell him.” Carol answered.
“I just thought of something.” Noél replied.
“What is it?” Carol asked.
“I could sing a song telling Santa how much I want Bernard today.” Noél answered.
“What is the song called?” Carol asked.
“It is called “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey.” Noél answered.
A few minutes later Carol went over to where Santa is and Noél stood at the raling just outside her bedroom door.
“Sweetheart, Noél has something she wants to tell you.” Carol said.
“She does? Where is she?” Santa asked.
“She’s up there.” Carol answered as she pointed to where Noél was at.
“So Noél what is it that you want to tell me?” Santa asked.
“Instead of saying it and am going to sing it to you. Once you hear what I am singing I hope that it tells you what I really want today.” Noél answered.
Noél started singing “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won’t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby
I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow
I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won’t even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
‘Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You Baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
So brightly baby
And the sound of children’s
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won’t you bring me the one I really need
Won’t you please bring my baby to me
Oh I don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all I’m asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You
You baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby.
“So Noél all you want for today is to be with Bernard, right?” Santa asked.
“Yes Bernard is all I want today.” Noél answered.
“Well he’s in Malibu.” Santa replied.
“Well then how can I be with him if it is not here today. I don’t want to wait until tomorrow to be with him I want to be with him today.” Noél said.
A few minutes go by and Noél was in her room when she heard a knock on her door. When she got up and opened it she was shocked and surprise to see who was on the other side.
“Bernard!!!” Noél said excited to see Bernard.
“Did you miss me?” Bernard asked.
“Of course I did.” Noél answered.
Noél pulled Bernard into their room and she closed the door and they fell on their bed kissing passionately for 5 hours than they fell asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 13
A Surprise For Chris

Chris is sitting on the steps coming down to the workshop with Holly on his lap and they are kissing passionately. Bernard and Noél are watching them. All of a sudden a younger Elf comes over to Bernard and Noél.
“You two are the Head Elves right?” The young Elf asked.
Bernard and Noél nod their heads.
“Yes we are.” Bernard and Noél answered together.
“Well I’m looking for someone.” The young Elf said.
“Who are you looking for?” Bernard asked.
“I’m looking for my big brother Chris.” The young Elf answered.
Noél glances over at Holly and Chris.
“Well he’s a bit busy at the moment.” Noél said.
“Oh ok but I wanted to see him now.” The young Elf replied.
Bernard sighs.
“What’s your name?” Bernard asked.
“My name is Ceejay.” The young Elf answered.
Bernard marches over to Holly and Chris.
“Ok you two break it up and Chris you have visitor.” Bernard said.
“Who it is?” Chris asked.
“It’s your brother Ceejay.” Bernard answered.
Chris lets out a long sigh. Noél walks over with Ceejay. Chris smiles and hugs Ceejay.
“It’s great to see you again little bro.” Chris said.
Holly smiles a little. Ceejay suddenly notices Holly.
“Hi there cutie.” Ceejay said.
Chris rolls his eyes.
“Listen here Ceejay she’s my girlfriend so back off.” Chris replied.
“Oh ok cool but she is really pretty.” Ceejay said.
“That’s enough Ceejay.” Chris replied.
“Mom and dad said to say hi to you.” Ceejay said.
“Oh well that’s cool.” Chris replied.
Holly knows by the sound of Chris’s voice that he’s not happy so she takes him out of earshot.
“What’s wrong Chris?” Holly asked.
“I love my parents a lot but they can get really annoying sometimes.” Chris answered.
Holly hugs Chris. They walk back over to the others just as two older Elves appear.
“Mom, Dad.” Chris said.
The two older Elves hug Chris. Holly sighs. Chris smiles a little.
“Are these your parents?” Holly asked.
“Yes they are.” Chris answered.
“My name is Phoebe and this is my husband Garth.” Chris’s and Ceejay’s mom said.
“It’s nice to meet you both and I’m Holly.” Holly said.
Chris puts his arm around Holly and pulls her close to him.
“Is this pretty Elf your girlfriend?” Garth asked.
“Yes she is dad.” Chris answered.
Ceejay sighs.
“I wish she was my girlfriend.” Ceejay said.
“Well you can’t have her Ceejay because she’s my girlfriend and it’s going to stay that way. She’s also much too old for you.” Chris screamed.
“Christopher watch it.” Phoebe said.
“Sorry mom but he just gets on my nerves.” Chris said.
“It’s alright Chris but just don’t let it happen again ok.” Phoebe replied.
Chris nods his head.
“How long have you been with Holly?” Phoebe asked.
“We started going out yesterday after Holly got sick and her best friend Noél asked me to look after her.” Chris answered.
“Where is Noél?” Garth asked.
“I’m Noél.” Noél answered.
Garth shakes Noél’s hand. Noél looks around and notices that Bernard isn’t there. Noél lets out a long sigh.
“What’s wrong Noél?” Holly asked.
“He’s doing it again and I really wished he stop disappearing on me.” Noél answered.
Holly looks around the spots Bernard talking to Santa. Holly smiles.
“He’s over there talking to Santa.” Holly said.
Noél walks over to where Bernard is talking to Santa and hugs him really tight. Bernard wraps his arms around Noél.
“Who are those people that you were talking to?” Bernard asked.
“They are Chris’s and Ceejay’s parents.” Noél answered.
The months pass and now it is Noél’s birthday. Bernard is up in their bedroom trying to figure out the perfect birthday present for Noél. Bernard suddenly comes up with something just as Noél walks into the room. Bernard pulls her close and kisses her passionately.
“Happy Birthday, sweetie.” Bernard said.
Noél smiles.
“Thanks, baby.” Noél replied.
“Do you want your birthday gift?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah of course I do.” Noél answered.
“Ok good and my birthday gift to you this year is that I’m going to sing “Speechless” by Michael Jackson to you.” Bernard said.
Noél smiles than hugs Bernard. Bernard turns the CD player on and turns it to song 8 on disc 5. The song starts to play.
Your love is magical
That’s how I feel
But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion
But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain
To tell you how I feel
But I am
Speechless, speechless
That’s how you make me feel
Though I’m with you
I am far away
And nothing is for real
When I’m with you I’m lost for words
I don’t know what to say
My head’s spinning like a carousel
So silently I pray
Helpless and hopeless
That’s how I feel inside
Nothing’s real
But all is possible
If God is on my side
When I’m with you I’m in the light
Where I cannot be found
It’s as though I am standing in
The place called Hallowed Ground
Speechless, speechless
That’s how you make me feel
Though I’m with you
I am far away
And nothing is for real
I’ll go anywhere and do anything
Just to touch your face
There’s no mountain high I cannot climb
I’m humbled in your grace
Speechless, speechless
That’s how you make me feel
Though I’m with you
I am lost for words
And nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless
That’s how you make me feel
Though I’m with you
I am far away
And nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless
That’s how you make me feel
(You are always in my heaaaaaart)
Though I’m with you
I am lost for words
And nothing is for real
Speechless
Your love is magical
That’s how I feel
But in your presence I am lost for words
Words like
Like
I love you.
Noél goes to stay something but nothing comes out.
“Are you okay sweetie?” Bernard asked.
Noél nods her head but still doesn’t say anything. Bernard pulls Noél close and kisses her very passionately. Noél’s eyes widen and she gasps. A few minutes later Bernard breaks the kiss.
“Wow that was some kiss and you did such a wonderful job on that song.” Noél said.
“Ah finally she speaks.” Bernard said.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Noél asked.
“I thought after that song that I sang to you that you’d be speechless for the rest of our lives together and I got worried that I never ever hear your beautiful voice again.” Bernard answered.
Noél smiles than pulls Bernard close and kisses him. Bernard just smiles too. They fall onto their bed without breaking their kiss. A few minutes later they stop kissing.
“I love you, baby.” Noél said.
Bernard smiles.
“I know you do and I love you too, sweetie.” Bernard replied as he brushes one of Noél’s braids away from her face and tucks behind her ear.
They start kissing again than awhile later they fall asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 14
A Surprise For Noél

It is now December 23rd the day before Noél’s and Bernard’s second anniversary. The Elves were getting an early start on making the toys for Christmas for all the boys and girls around the world. As Noél was walking through the workshop she noticed two people and when she saw them she was excited to see them so she ran over to them.
“Hi, mom and dad.” Noél said as she gave her parents a hug.
“Hi, sweet pea.” Noél’s dad said as he gave his daughter a hug.
Noél’s mom didn’t say a word but just gave her daughter a hug.
“I miss you two very much.” Noél said.
“Your mother and I missed you too, sweet pea.” Noél’s dad said.
Just then Curtis and his best friend Tannon walked over and Tannon put his arm around Noél, but Noél brushed his arm off of her.
“Tannon don’t you ever do that again.” Noél snapped at Tannon.
“Sweet pea isn’t this your boyfriend?” Noél’s dad asked.
“Dad, Tannon is NOT my boyfriend. Plus I don’t have a boyfriend or a fiancé, but I do have a husband.” Noél answered and when she said husband she showed her parents her ring that Bernard gave her.
Curtis clears his throat.
“Oh sorry. Mom, dad this is Curtis and his best friend Tannon. Curtis, Tannon this is my mom Angelique and my dad Lumiere.” Noél said.
“Nice to meet you.” Curtis and Tannon said at the same time.
“Nice to meet you too.” Noél’s dad, Lumiere said.
“What kind of a name is Lumiere?” Tannon asked.
“Tannon it is french for lights and when I was younger my dad was the one who always put up the Christmas lights.” Noél answered.
Again Noél’s mom Angelique didn’t say anything. After Curtis and Tannon left Santa and Carol walked over.
“Santa, Carol I like you to meet my mom, Angelique and my dad, Lumiere.” Noél said.
“Nice to meet the two of you.” Santa and Carol said.
“Lumiere is your name french for lights.” Santa asked.
“Yes it is.” Lumiere answered.
“Which is kind of fitting because when I was younger my dad always put up the Christmas lights.” Noél replied.
Still Noél’s mom Angelique didn’t say anything and Noél couldn’t take it anymore.
“Mom are you ok?” Noél asked.
Angelique shook her head.
“Mom you haven’t talked at all since you and Dad got here? Why?” Noél asked.
Angelique looked at her husband than at her daughter.
“Sweet pea, your mom hasn’t been talking because a week ago she had laryngitis.” Lumiere answered.
“What!?!” Noél asked with a worry tone in her voice.
“You heard me. Your mom lost her voice.” Lumiere answered.
“No! Not her beautiful voice.” Noél replied.
“Why are you worried about that, Noél?” Carol asked.
“Well, Carol I haven’t heard my mom’s voice for 10 years now.” Noél answered.
“Oh ok.” Carol replied.
“Dad is there a way to get her voice back?” Noél asked.
“As a matter of fact there is a way do get her voice back.” Lumiere answered.
“What is it dad? I’ll do anything to get my mom’s beautiful voice back?” Noél asked.
“Sweet pea you have to give your mom a quick kiss on the lips and that will make her voice come back.” Lumiere answered.
“How do you know that, dad?” Noél asked.
“I read about it in this book.” Lumiere answered as he held up a book.
So Noél gave her mom a quick kiss on the lips.
“Thanks, sweetie.” Angelique said.
“Mom, you got your beautiful voice back!!” Noél said excitely.
Noél is looking around the workshop for Bernard.
“Sweetie what or who are you looking for?” Angelique asked.
“I’m looking for my husband.” Noél answered.
Just then Holly walked by.
“Holly look who’s here.” Noél said.
“Hi.” Holly said as she hugged Lumiere and Angelique.
Noél whispered something to Holly, Lumiere and Angelique.
“Why is that sweet pea?” Lumiere asked.
“Because we kept it a secret from everyone here.” Noél answered.
Just then Noél remembered that she was looking for Bernard.
“Holly have you seen my husband anywhere?” Noél asked.
“Yeah he’s over there with Santa and Carol.” Holly answered as she pointed to where Bernard was with Santa and Carol.
“Thanks, Holly.” Noél replied as she walked over to where Bernard was with Santa and Carol.
Noél wrapped her arms around Bernard.
“Hi, sweetie.” Bernard said as he turned to face her.
“Sweetheart there are a couple of people that I would like you to meet.” Noél said.
Now Noél and Bernard are with Noél’s parents.
“Mom, dad I would like you to meet Santa’s Head Elf, my husband Bernard. Bernard this is my mom Angelique and my dad Lumiere.” Noél said.
“Nice to meet you Bernard.” Angelique and Lumiere said at the same time.
“Nice to meet you too.” Bernard said.
“Have you been taking good care of my little girl?” Lumiere asked Bernard.
“Dad.” Noél said under her breath.
“Yes sir, I have been taking real good care of her. I won’t let anything happen to her at all.” Bernard answered.
“That’s great to hear.” Lumiere said as he gave his son-in-law a hug.
The rest of the day goes by and it is now Christmas Eve. It is now after noon on Christmas Eve.
“Happy anniversary, sweetie.” Bernard said as he pulled his wife close and kissed her.
“Happy anniversary, baby.” Noél said.
“Today is your anniversary?” Angelique asked.
“Yes mom today is our anniversary.” Noél answered.
“How long ago did you get married?” Lumiere asked.
“Well today is a two year anniversary.” Noél answered.
“Well then Happy anniversary you two.” Angelique and Lumiere said at the same time.
“Thanks mom and dad.” Noél said.
A few hours later Noél decided to tell everyone their little family secret.
“Everyone I have an announcement to make.” Noél said.
“What is it, Noél?” Everyone asked at the same time.
“You all know that Holly is my best friend right?” Noél asked.
“Yes.” Everyone answered at the same time.
“Well she is not just my best friend but she is also my sister.” Noél replied.
When Noél said that everyone’s mouths dropped open in shock.
“How is that possible?” Curtis asked.
“Well you see after Holly and I finished high school her parents didn’t want anything to do with her and so my parents took her in and they adopted her a month after our gradution.” Noél answered.
“Why didn’t you tell us this when you first came here?” Santa asked.
“Well my parents told me not to tell any of you until you all met them.” Noél answered.
Later that day Noél and Bernard our in their room kissing passionately and then before they knew it they started making love to each other and then they fell asleep in each other’s embrace. Now it is Christmas morning and after everyone opened their gifts Noél wanted everyone to sing a song. The song is “As Long As There’s Christmas.”
“Everyone I was thinking that we all should sing a song together.” Noél said.
“What song did you have in mind?” Santa asked.
“A song called “As Long As There’s Christmas”.” Noél answered.
“That sounds like a great song to sing.” Santa replied.
Now they are all singing that song.
Noél: There is more to this time of year
Than sleigh bells and holly
Mistletoe and snow
Those things come and go
Much deeper than snow
Stronger than the strongest love we’ll know
We’ll ever know
As long as there’s Christmas I truly believe
That hope is the greatest of the gifts we’ll recieve
As long as there’s Christmas we’ll all be just fine
A star shines above us lighting your
Way and mine
Bernard: Just as long as there’s Christmas
There will be Christmas pud
Tons of turkey...
Carol: And cranb’ry sauce
And mince pies if we’re good
Lumiere: Loads of logs on the fire
The Elves: Lots of gifts on the tree
All wrapped up in red ribbons...
Curtis: Wonder if there’s one for me
Bernard: We are due for a party
Where on earth do we start?
Holly: I may wear my tiara
You bought me in Monmartre
Bernard: All the silver will sparkle
Carol: And the china will gleam
Lumiere: And we’ll all be as shiny
As a brand-new centime
Curtis: After dinner we’ll play games
Carol: ‘Till the morning breaks through
Lumiere: Then we’ll meet in the garden
This is what we shall do
Curtis: We will build us a snowman
That will reach up to the sky
Noél: It will stay up until July
Noél/Elves: As long as there’s Christmas I truly believe
That hope is the greatest of the gifts we’ll recieve
Elves: As long as our guiding star shines above
Noél: As long as there’s Christmas we’ll all be just fine
Noél/Elves: There’ll always be Christmas
Noél: So there always will be a time
When the world is filled with peace and love.
“Now my mom and I are going to sing the reprise to that same song.” Noél said.
Now Noél and her mom Angelique are singing “As Long As There’s Christmas (Reprise).”
Angelique: When I felt lost and lonely
Not a dream in my head
Your words lifted my spirits high
Remember what you said
As long as there’s Christmas
I truly believe
Angelique/Noél: That hope is the greatest of the gifts we’ll recieve
As long as our guiding star shines above
Angelique: There’ll always be Christmas
Noél: So there always will be a time
When the world is filled with peace and love.
The rest of Christmas goes by and now everyone went to bed except for Bernard and Noél who are up in their room kissing passionately then 6 hours later they fell asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 15
Tannon Gets A Girlfriend

It is the day before New Year’s Eve and Noél is looking for Bernard but she can’t find him anywhere. Noél goes over to Holly who is with Angelique and Lumiere.
“Holly have you seen Bernard?” Noél asked.
“Yeah he is over there talking to Tannon.” Holly answered.
“Thank Holly.” Noél replied as she went over to where Bernard and Tannon are.
Noél goes up to Bernard and wraps her arms around him.
“You should be doing that to me and not him.” Tannon said in a jealous tone.
“Tannon I will never do that to you.” Noél said.
“You’d be better off with me than with him and I could give you so much more than Bernard can.” Tannon said.
“Oh I don’t think so. I just want to be with Bernard and he has giving me something that you could never give me at all.” Noél said.
“What is that?” Tannon asked.
“That is top secret Tannon.” Bernard answered.
Just then Jolly the Head Toy Maker Elf walks up to them.
“Hi, Tannon.” Jolly said in a flirty voice.
“Hi, Jolly.” Tannon said in a flirty voice.
“Bernard is it just me or are they flirting with each other?” Noél asked in a whisper.
“It does look like they are flirting with each other.” Bernard answered in a whisper.
“Jolly can I talk to you for a moment alone?” Noél asked.
“Sure you can.” Jolly answered.
So as Noél is talking to Jolly.
“Jolly are you in love with Tannon?” Noél asked.
“Yes I am.” Jolly answered.
“Does he know that you’re in love with him?” Noél asked.
“No he doesn’t.” Jolly answered.
“Why doesn’t he know?” Noél asked.
“I have been to shy to tell him.” Jolly answered.
At that moment Noél noticed Bernard talking to Tannon and she knew exactly what Bernard was asking Tannon.
“Noél what is Bernard talking to Tannon about?” Jolly asked.
“I think that he is asking him if he is in love with you.” Noél answered.
“Are you sure about that? How do you know that is what he is asking him?” Jolly asked.
“Jolly, I know my husband and I know that he is asking Tannon what I just asked you.” Noél answered.
A few minutes later Noél and Jolly walked back over to Bernard and Tannon.
“So what did you find out?” Bernard asked in a whisper.
“She’s in love with him.” Noél answered in a whisper.
“That’s great because he told me that he’s in love with her.” Bernard whispered.
Just then Noél made a mistletoe appear above Tannon.
“Jolly look above Tannon.” Noél whispered to Jolly.
“Is that mistletoe?” Jolly asked in a whisper.
“Yes it is.” Noél answered in a whisper.
“Where did it come from?” Jolly asked in a whisper.
“I don’t know but why don’t you go over there and kiss him.” Noél answered in a whisper.
Jolly went up to Tannon and gave him a kiss and then he start kissing her passionately. Noél’s and Bernard’s mouths dropped open in shock. A few minutes later they broke the kiss.
“So Tannon you’re in love with Jolly?” Noél asked.
“Yes I am.” Tannon answered.
“How long have you been in love with her?” Noél asked.
“Since I first met her.” Tannon answered.
“Why didn’t you tell her than?” Noél asked.
“I was too shy.” Tannon answered.
“Oh and you weren’t to shy to flirt with me?” Noél asked.
“I was only flirting with you to make Jolly jealous.” Tannon answered.
“Well it worked I was jealous, but now I’m not.” Jolly replied.
“Does this mean you are going to stop flirting with my wife?” Bernard asked.
“Yes it does Bernard. I have my girl now.” Tannon answered.
“That’s a relief.” Bernard replied.
“Yeah and just in time for New Year’s Eve.” Noél said.
Just then Santa came over to them.
“Noél did I just see Tannon and Jolly kiss passionately?” Santa asked.
“Yes you did Santa.” Noél answered.
“Why is that?” Santa asked.
“Their in love with each other.” Noél answered.
“Who got them together?” Santa asked.
“Bernard and I did.” Noél answered.
“Is it just me or are the two of you becoming matchmakers?” Santa asked.
“What do you mean?” Bernard and Noél asked.
“First of all you got Holly and Chris together and now you got Tannon and Jolly together.” Santa answered.
“Santa don’t forget I got Robbie Ray together with Lilly’s mom with the help of Miley and Lilly of course.” Noél answered.
“That’s true you did get them together.” Santa replied.
The rest of the day goes by and it is now New Year’s Eve and a few mintues before midnight. After everyone counted down to midnight Carol and Santa kissed, Holly and Chris kissed, Tannon and Jolly kissed, Angelique and Lumiere kissed and Bernard kissed Noél extremely passionately. a few minutes later they broke the kiss. It is now a few days after New Year’s Eve and Jolly is singing a song to Tannon.
“Tannon, sweetheart I would like to sing a song to you.” Jolly said.
“Cool I would love to hear you sing, sweetie.” Tannon said.
The song Jolly sings to Tannon is “Could It Be” by Christy Carlson Romano.
I know we’ve been, friends forever
But now I think I’m feeling something totally new
And after all this time, I’ve opened up my eyes
Now I see, you were always with me....
Could it Be
You and I never imagined
Could it Be
Suddenly, I’m falling for you
(I am falling)
Could it Be
You were right here beside me
And I never knew
Could it be that it’s true that it’s you
That it’s you
It’s kinda funny you were, always near
But who would ever thought that we would end up here
But every time I needed you, you’ve been there for me through
Now it’s clear
I’ve been waiting for you----!
Could it be
You and I never imagined
Could it be
Suddenly, I’m falling for you
(I am falling)
Could it be
You were right here beside me
And I never knew
Could it be that it’s true that it’s you
Ooooooh
That it’s you...
Oooh
Cause today is the start of the rest of our lives
I can see it in your eyes------
Oh, that it’s real
And it’s true,
And it’s just me and you!
Could it be?
That it’s true
That IT’S YOU!-----
Could it be
You and I never imagined
Could it be
Suddenly, I’m falling for you
(I am falling)
Could it be
You were right here beside me
And I never knew,
Could it be that it’s true that it’s you.
Could it be
That it’s true
That it’s you
Could it be
That it’s true
That it’s you
Could it be
That it’s true
That it’s you
Could it be
That it’s true
That it’s you
Could it be, oh it’s you!------.
“That was a great song and you have a beautiful singing voice.” Tannon said.
“Thanks Tannon.” Jolly said.
Tannon pulled Jolly close and kissed her passionately.
