Dorei: I believe the large present is for you sweetie it say's it is from Santa, why don't you open it.
(In hushed voice's) Xion, Nyssa, Dorei: I wonder what it can be?


*Tuppence carefully begin's to open her present*
Tuppence: (Thinking) Oh pwease wet it be....


*Now open she decide's to take a look*


?: Mehwy Cwissmas Tuppence
Tuppence:(falling back with surprise) Oh.....


*The little girl begin's to climb down from the box, while everyone recover's from the shock*
?: hewo Tuppence, my name is Temperence, Santa say's you are my new fweind


*Tuppence's rushes over to Temperence and give's her a great big hug*
Tuppence: Yipee...I knew Santa would keep his pwomise.
(Hushed voice's once again) Dorei, Xion, Nyssa: So that's what she asked Santa for, a little friend...


Dorei: It's lovely to have you here with us Temperence, welcome to our family, I look forward to getting to know you.
Xion, Nyssa: yes welcome.
Dorei: I'm afraid we didn't know that you were coming so we haven't any gift's for you but perhaps Tuppence would let you share her's? (looking at Tuppence)
Tuppence: Yes, of course...you can help me open them if you wike...
Temperence: yes I would wike that alot.
Nyssa:Well if that is settled....why don't you open this one from me...


*Tuppence and Temperence open the present together*


Tuppence, Temperence: Oh, it's a monkey (shouting with glee)


Tuppence: Me think's I am going to call you Coco...(giggling as Coco jump's into her lap)
Temperence: Yes Coco is pwefect for her (giggling)
(In Unison) Tuppence, Temperence: Thank you Nyssa, we's wuv her
Nyssa: You are more than welcome little one's, now remember to take good care of her.


CONTINUED IN REPLY

Dorei: This is Xion and I's gift to you honey, I'm afraid I didn't have time to wrap it as it just arrived.


Tuppence: Me wuv's it, thank you Dorei, Xion.
Dorei: Your welcome sweetie, why don't you show it to Temperence.


*Tuppence leaves with Temperence to play with Coco and her other present's*

Nyssa: This is my gift to you sister, I hope you like it.




Dorei: My what a beautiful necklace, I love it, thank you Nyssa.


Dorei: Xion and I have this for you.


*Nyssa open's her present*



Nyssa: It is so beautiful but you can't have found this here...it is from Kaeldaraith surely.
Dorei: Xion traveled back through the portal to our world for the gown, I know how much you miss home and hoped this would help a little.
Nyssa: Oh Dorei, thank you, I...I love it...if you can excuse me I ...I must try it on...


*Nyssa rushes of to try on the gown, leaving Xion and Dorei alone with one another*

CONTINUED IN REPLY

Xion: Dorei I....
Dorei: I can't wait any longer, now that we are alone please open my gift to you...


Xion: Alright...(smiles)
*Tearing open his gift*



Xion: (stunned) Dorei....how....it's not possible...
Dorei: Of course it is, when you know how...
Xion: (interrupting) But...my sword it had shattered....how did you?...it was in Kaeldaraith...you couldn't possibly have travelled through the portal...it' is too dangerous for you to have done so...
Dorei: (smiling sweetly) Shhh...firstly I did not travel through the portal, I have not left this world since arriving here, secondly I had your sword repaired as I knew how much it meant to you...and thirdly you saw what Santa is capable of, just look what he did for Tuppence, I asked for his help in retrieving the sword from Kaeldaraith.


*Setting his sword aside*
Xion: Dorei I...I don't know what to say...I...I thought that it was lost...my father's sword...
Dorei: I knew that it was the perfect gift...after all what is a swordsman without a sword (giggles)


*Taking his hat off*
Xion: I guess it's my turn to give you my gift....


Xion: Did you know that from the first moment I laid eye's on you that I knew there could be no other woman in the world or world's for me (laughs nervously)



Dorei: Xion I....
Xion: Please...let me finish.... *Reaches into his pocket*


Xion: Not in all my travel's throughout the year's have I ever felt as complete as I do when I am with you...
Dorei: (silently opening the box)





CONTINUED IN REPLY

*Dorei gasp's as she open's the box and see's the ring sparkling inside*



Xion: I love you Dorei with all of my heart, marry me my love...



Dorei: Oh Xion (throwing herself into is arm's) yes...yes...I will marry you....I love you....



*Looking at the ring, now on her finger*
Dorei: Oh Xion, the ring is so beautiful....
Xion: (smiling) I have to confess, I asked Santa for a little help in obtaining it, the stone's can only be found in Baerendaar...in my travel's I have never come upon anything so beautiful...that is of course until I met you.



*As we leave the happy couple ...elsewhere in the house, Tuppence and Temperence play with little Coco*
Tuppence: Me's happy you are here Temperence, you is going to love it here, my big sis Dorei is so kind, Nyssa can be a bit strwict at time's but she is nice too and Xion is alway's fun, you should ask him for a piggy back ride later.
Temperence: Me wike's it here...are you sure Xion wouldn't mind...he's vewy big...
Tuppence: (giggling)


*Suddenly*

Tuppence: Did you hear somethin' Temperence?
(In the distance): Ho Ho Ho
Temperence: me think's it's Santa (Shouting Joyfully)
Tuppence: Wet's go see...


CONTINUED IN REPLY

Tuppence: Santa (she shout's as she jump's into his arms and give's him a big hug)


Tuppence: Thank you so much Santa...me love's Temperence...she is my best fweind...
*Unbeknowenst to Tuppence, Temperence being an orphan herself had asked Santa for the gift as Tuppence*
Temperence: yes Santa thank you, me love's Tuppence...she is my best fweind too
(Tuppence and Temperence both start to giggle)
