Third Tale: All I want for Christmas [Written/Action]

[theboywiththebook]

Written

[Henry's been getting progressively sadder as the holiday draws nearer. It is only a week before Christmas and he's here all alone without Emma, Mary Margret, David and even Regina. He'd spent all his Christmas's with Regina and while he did get many good things it didn't replace the fact that he was a bit miserable living with her and with how she acted. She did say she was trying to get better but that remained to be seen. But he couldn't see it now...so one could see why he's just a little bit more than depressed.

Still...he shouldn't be sad about being alone for Christmas. He's still worried about Emma and Mary Margret. They're in the Enchanted Forest or they could be dead in an airless void. He didn't know and not knowing was the worst. But the sadder thing? David would be alone for Christmas. No Snow to be with him, not his daughter, not even Henry, David's grandson. But....Christmas was the time where hope and miracles happened a lot right? So maybe, just maybe he could get that little miracle.

So he's opened up the journal and he's writing a letter...to Santa. Because if this journal is magical, surely Santa will recieve it?

Too bad he's neglected the fact that others will see it.]

Dear Santa,

It's Henry again.Remember last Christmas when I asked if you could let me meet, Emma? I'm sorry I got upset when it didn't happen. I didn't know about the curse then. It probably kept you from getting my letter or maybe you just couldn't come to Storybrooke.

I hope I'm on the nice list this year. I mean, I did help break a curse after all, but I can see why I wouldn't. I did steal Grandma's credit card to go find Emma.

Anyways, I need to ask for something else this Christmas. But, it's not for me.

I don't want any toys or presents. I just want Mary Margret and Emma to get back home safely. Even if I'm not back in time for when they do get back. I don't think Gramps would want to spend Christmas alone.

But...if it's possible, could I see them on Christmas? Even if it's only for a minute or two. I just want to know they're safe. If you can do that I'll be okay with being alone for Christmas.

Love, Henry.

P.S. If you do get Emma and Mary Margret back home, can you give them a hug for me? Thanks.

P.S.S. I'll still leave milk and cookies out even if you can't do the things I'm asking.
 

Action

[After Henry finishes his letter, he's walking around the village. He's better rested nowadays since the nightmares have finally stopped. He can be at least happy about that. But it's still not enough to make him any less miserable.

His first stop is at the general store where he's looking for Christmas decorations and maybe a small fake tree to take back to his apartment. This is the first year that he's actually doing it by himself and maybe it'll be fun. Because the house was never really all that festive. Whenever he had a tree, his mom would decorate it.

After that he's gone out to Seventh Heaven, to eat. He'll be ordering a lot, probably a hot dog, a pie, and two chocolate chip cookies. He's a growing boy after all.

When he's done that he's walking by the lake, if only because it reminds him of the place where his old castle was. Maybe he could make it here in Luceti.]
