It's a Wonderful Christmas, Part 3

A little bit later…

Savannah: All right, so Kirstie said if we head that way, *points* we'll end up right in the town. So… *pulls out her snowboard* Who's up for a snowboarding race?

Jet: All right!

Miranda: Sounds good to me.

Shadow: I'm in.

Shade: Except for one thing, I don't know how to snowboard.

Savannah: That's okay. Why don't you use your teleporter to go to town ahead of us and you can judge who wins?

Shade: Okay. *messes with her teleporter, then disappears*

Kirstie: I'll referee the start of the race.

Savannah: Thanks. *secures her board to her feet*

*Miranda, Heather, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Jet, Wave, and Storm do the same*

Kirstie: On your mark… get set… go!

*everyone starts down the hill*


A little bit later…

*Shadow and Jet pass Shade at the edge of the town and stop*

Jet: Yes! I won!

Shadow: I think not. I won!

Miranda: *stops after she and Savannah cross the finish line with the others* Oh boy. Here we go.

Savannah: Shade?

Shade: *shrugs* It was too close to tell.

Savannah: *sighs* Boys!

*Shadow and Jet stop arguing and look at Savannah*

Savannah: It really doesn't matter which one of you won, we were just having some fun, so cool it!

Jet: *gulp* Yes ma'am.

Shadow: Very well.

Savannah: Good. Now then, let's check out the town.


Later…

Wave: Wow, this place sure has a lot of kids.

Kirstie: *had joined them* Yeah, Refuge Harbor was founded by a bunch of survivors of the Black Arms attacks. After the Black Arms were defeated, some of us living in a refugee camp decide to start a new life by starting a new town. Amongst it all, we built an orphanage in the town and took in a lot of the kids who lost their families in the attacks. Some people work at the orphanage specifically, but we all work together to take care of them.

Miranda: Wow…

Savannah: We know just what you mean about starting over. Heather, Miranda and I grew up in the city of Westopolis. When the city was attacked, well, we made it out okay, but our house was destroyed.

Kirstie: *nods in understanding*

Heather: It worked out okay though. In some ways, it was a good thing. If not for that, Knuckles and I may have never been reunited.

Kirstie: You were separated?

Heather: *nods* We were little when our mom was killed, and I had been with her. Even though I escaped, I never made it home. Not until recently anyway.

Kirstie: Wow.

Savannah: Sometimes, good things come from bad. *winks at Shadow*

Shadow: *looks a little embarrassed*

Shade: *sees some kids having a snowball fight* Wow. That looks fun.

Kirstie: Why don't you join them? They don't mind.

Savannah: That sounds like a great idea!

Wave: You're kidding right?

Savannah: Nope. Like I said before, we're here now, might as well make the best of it. *throws a snowball at Jet*

Jet: Hey! Oh it's on! *throws a snowball at Savannah, but she dodges and it hits Knuckles* Oops.

Knuckles: That's it! *throws a snowball at Jet, but it ends up hitting Wave*

Wave: Mmm! *throws a snowball at Knuckles, but it hits Heather instead*

Heather: Oof! *throws a snowball at Wave, but instead it hits Rouge*

Rouge: Fine! Then I guess I'll play too! *throws a snowball at Heather, but it misses and hits Storm*

Storm: You're gonna pay for that! *throws a snowball at Rouge, but hits Shade by mistake*

Shade: You'll regret that! *throws a snowball at Storm and hits Miranda instead*

Miranda: Aah! I'll get you for that! *throws a snowball at Shade, but it hits Shadow* O_O

Shadow: Now you're gonna get it. *throws a snowball at Miranda, but it ends up hitting Savannah*

Savannah: *just laughs and throws a snowball back at Shadow*

*They all keep throwing snowballs at each other while joining the kids' snowball fight*


30 minutes later…

*Savannah, Miranda, Shadow, Rouge, Jet, Wave and Storm are skating on a frozen lake while Heather, Knuckles, and Shade are building a snowman near the edge of the lake*

Savannah: * ice dancing with Shadow* Rockin' around
The Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop.

Miranda: *ice dancing with Jet*   Mistletoe hung
Where you can see.
Every couple tries to stop.

Shade: Rockin' around
The Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring.

Heather: Later we'll have
Some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling.

Wave: You will get a sentimental
Feeling
When you hear

Rouge: Voices singing:
"Let's be jolly!"

Savannah, Miranda, Heather, Shade, Wave, and Rouge: Deck the halls with boughs of holly!

Savannah: Rockin' around
The Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday.

Miranda: Everyone's dancing
Merrily
In the new old-fashioned way.

Heather: You will get a sentimental
Feeling
When you hear

Shade: Voices singing:
"Let's be jolly!"

Heather and Shade: Deck the halls with boughs of holly!

Rouge: Rockin' around
The Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday.

Wave: Everyone's dancing
Merrily
In the new…
Old-fashioned way!


Later…

*everyone is walking back toward the inn*

Miranda: That was so fun!

Savannah: Yeah. Those kids were great.

Kirstie: They are. I just wish they could have a great Christmas.

Wave: What do you mean?

Kirstie: We all pull together to try and give them the best Christmas possible under their circumstances, but we just don't have enough.

Savannah: *eyes light up*

Knuckles: What is it?

Rouge: I know that look. You've got an idea.

Savannah: Yep, and a great one.

Shade: We're listening.

Savannah: Okay, Sonic, Amy, and Tails are rounding up a new batch of toys to take to Westopolis, but we've got a ton of toys back on the zeppelin, so why don't we just give those out to the orphans here?

Kirstie: That would be wonderful!

Heather: It is a good idea.

Savannah: Yeah! And since we can't go to Westopolis, why don't we just do our concert here? I bet Wave could even hook it up so the folks in Westopolis can watch.

Wave: That's child's play.

Savannah: Kirstie, can you serve some of that awesome hot cocoa as a refreshment?

Kirstie: Sure! And we can set the whole thing up in town square.

Savannah: All right! Our Christmas concert is back in business!


That evening…

Storm: There's a lot of people out there.

Tails: (over com-link): Everything's all set here, and there's a lot folks finding seats too.

Savannah: Then I guess it's show time.

*Savannah, Miranda, Heather, Knuckles, and Shade walk out onto the stage. Knuckles sits down at the drums, Heather goes over to the keyboard, Miranda and Shade pick up guitars, and Savannah goes over to the main microphone*

Savannah: Hey everyone! We're the Angel Island Angels! Ready to rock through the holidays with us?

*The crowd cheers*

Savannah: All right! Well we're gonna open up with a song that our lead guitarist, Shade wrote, but she and I decided to alter the original lyrics a bit. Let us know what you think!

*This song is to the tune of "A Perfect Christmas" from Barbie: A Perfect Christmas*

*Miranda, Heather, Shade, and Knuckles start playing the music on their instruments*

Savannah: Well I've been waiting all year
Just for this day to get here.
And I've been learning
Nothing goes exactly like you plan.
Yeah I've been flying so low.
Wishin' I was in Westo.
I thought I'd be a no-go for this show
But here I am.
You might have seen me checking out
What's underneath that tree,
But I have realized that there
Is just one gift for me.
It's a perfect Christmas,
It's a perfect Christmas,
It's a perfect Christmas,
Cause I'm with you!
Whoo!
The ornaments are rocking.
Somebody stole my stocking.
I think I threw out all my gift cards
With the recycling.
The Christmas lights are tangled.
The mistletoe got mangled.
And even though my nerves are jangled
I'm good with everything!
Cause now I know the reason
It's the season of good cheer.
I'd even eat the fruitcake.
It's the same one as last year!
It's a perfect Christmas,
It's a perfect Christmas,
It's a perfect Christmas,
Cause I'm with you!

Miranda, Heather, and Shade: Hey, hey, hey!

Savannah: Put your hands up in the air!

Miranda, Heather, and Shade: Ho! Ho! Ho!

Savannah:   Santa can you feel it?

Miranda, Heather, and Shade: Here we go!

Savannah: Spread the magic everywhere!

Savannah, Miranda, Heather, and Shade: Hey!
Ho!
Everybody shout out loud!
It's a perfect Christmas.
It's a perfect Christmas.
It's a perfect Christmas,

Savannah: Cause I'm with you! (Miranda, Heather, and Shade: Hey, hey, hey!)
Cause I'm with you! (Miranda, Heather, and Shade: Ho, ho, ho!)
Cause I'm with you! (Miranda, Heather, and Shade: Here we go!)
Cause I'm with you!  (Miranda, Heather, and Shade: Ho, ho, ho!)
Cause I'm with you!
