One day in Santa’s Village Mrs. Clause woke up with a feeling that something isn’t right. Mrs. Clause looked around to see that Santa wasn’t sleeping beside her.
MRS. CLAUSE: Where could he have gotten to?
Jingle the elf hears Mrs. Clause than came in.
JINGLE: If you mean Santa than he went for a walk.
MRS. CLAUSE: Oh well when he comes back could you tell him that I want to see him.
JINGLE: Yeah of course Mrs. Clause.
MRS. CLAUSE: Where are the rest of the elves?
JINGLE: They are busy making toys.
MRS. CLAUSE: What about the head elf?
JINGLE: I haven’t seen him in while but I’m sure where he is that he’s just fine.
MRS. CLAUSE: He reminds me so much of Santa because he’s always wondering off.
Jingle left than went to where the other elves are.
JINGLE: Has anyone seen the head elf?
Bernard walked up behind Jingle and trapped him on the shoulder.
BERNARD: I’m right here Jingle.
JINGLE: Where did you disappear too?
BERNARD: I went to where I always go when I need to think and get away from everything.
JINGLE: Have you seen Santa?
BERNARD: Yeah I have because he goes to same place I do when he needs to think.
JINGLE: What were you thinking about?
BERNARD: I don’t want to discuss it.
Bernard walked off. Hope walked over to Jingle.
HOPE: He’s been acting strange lately.
JINGLE: Yeah I noticed that.
HOPE: What do you suppose is wrong with?
JINGLE: I’m not sure.
Hope ran after Bernard.
HOPE: Wait up Bernard.
Bernard stopped in his tracks than turned to face Hope.
BERNARD: What do you want Hope?
HOPE: I want to know what’s wrong with you.
BERNARD: Well I don’t want to talk about it.
Santa overheard everything. Bernard started to walki away and Santa stopped him.
SANTA: Will you tell me what’s wrong?
BENARD: I can’t keep things for my boss so yeah I’ll tell you but not here.
Santa and Bernard walked out of earshot of the other elves.
SANTA: Okay tell me now Bernard.
BERNARD: I need to ask you a question first.
SANTA: Alright ask away.
Bernard sighed deeply.
BERNARD: Are elves allowed to date other elves?t
SANTA: Yeah I don’t see why not as long as it doesn’t interfere with your work..
BERNARD: Oh that’s good to know.
SANTA: Are you in love with someone?
BERNARD: Yeah I am but I’m not sure if she feels the same way and I’m too shy to say anything.
SANTA: Who is it?
BERNARD: It’s Angelica.
SANTA: You mean the head elf of the toys?
Bernard nodded his head.
BERNARD: Yeah that’s who I mean.
Santa smiled than walked off to find Mrs. Clause. Bernard walked to where the other elves are. A pretty elf named Kristina walked over to Bernard.
KRISTINA: Hi Bernard.
Bernard ignored Kristina because he’s too busy starting at Angelica.
Angelica is talking to her best friend Ivyalina who prefers to be called Ivy.
ANGELICA: Do you like anyone?
IVY: Well I think Garland is really cute but not as cute as Bernard.
ANGELICA: You think the head elf is cute?
IVY: Well of course only what I really meant to say he’s gorgeous.
ANGELICA: You can say that again.
Ivy heard Angelica.
IVY: Do you like him?
ANGELICA: Yeah I do a lot but I couldn’t never ever bring myself to tell him because what if he doesn’t feel the same about me.
IVY: Do you want to me find out if he likes you?
ANGELICA: Yeah okay but just don’t let him figuring out that I like him.
Ivy walked over to where Bernard is talking two of the other elves named Yule and Jolly. Ivy cleared her throat. Bernard looked at Ivy.
IVY: What do you want?
IVY: I wanted to ask you a few things.
BERNARD: Okay I’m listening.
IVY: Do believe in love?
BERNARD: Yeah of course I do.
IVY: What does love mean to you?
BERNARD: It means being there for the one that I love and to protect her at all costs.
IVY: Would you ever fall in love with a fellow elf?
BERNARD: Yeah I would and I have been for a long time now.
IVY: Who is she?
BERNARD: I’d rather not say.
Bernard walked away. Ivy sighed than walked back over to Angelica.
ANGELICA: What did you find out?
IVY: He’s definitely in love with someone but he won’t tell me who it is and he’s very deep when it comes to his inner feelings.
Angelica looked over at Bernard who now talking to his best elf friend Mychael.
MYCHEAL: What’s matter with you lately?
BERNARD: I don’t want to talk about it and the only one that knows is the big guy in charge of here.
MYCHEAL: Alright fine than don’t tell me.
Mycheal walked off. Bernard looked over at where Angelica is talking to Ivy.
BERNARD (in his head): Wow she’s amazingly beautiful. I just want to go over there right now than pull her close and kiss her

It’s a few days later now. The elves are making toys and Bernard is watching over them. All of a sudden Jack Frost appeared. Bernard went over to Jack Frost.

JACK: I came to talk to Santa.
Santa came over.
SANTA: What do you want Jack Frost?
JACK: I want you to let me take your head toy maker elf with me and if you refuse than I will cause a massive storm that will ruin Christmas.
SANTA: Why do you want Angelica?
JACK: I’ve been in love with her for a long time and I can’t take it anymore because I so want her for my own.
BERNARD (in his head): Yeah right like I’m going to let you take away the love of my life and I’m the one that she’s meant to be with.
Angelica looked at Santa.
ANGELICA: You can’t give me to him?
SANTA: I haven’t got a choice because it’s too close to Christmas to have a massive storm.
IVY: There’s got to be something you can do.
SANTA: I’m sorry Ivy but I can’t.
Jack Frost took Angelica’s hand than left with her before Bernard can do anything.
BERNARD (whispered): No, Angelica.
Bernard ran after Jack Frost but it’s too late they are gone and he fell to the floor. Santa and Mychael came running over. Mychael looked at Santa.
MYCHEAL: What’s wrong with him?
BERNARD: He’s heartbroken because Jack Frost took away the love of his life.
MYCHAEL: Bernard’s in love with Angelica?
SANTA: Yes he is very much.Curtis overheared.

Curtis left.
Bernard got to his feet than started pacing back and forth.
BERNARD: What I am going to do? How do I get her back?
MYCHEAL: That’s very simple my friend you go to where Jack Frost is keeping her and rescue her.

MANDY: My brother is right and doesn’t your name mean brave little bear.
BERNARD: Yeah it does.
MANDY: Than be a brave little bear and save the love of your life before it’s too late.

Judy suddenly appeared.
JUDY: Bernard, I have a plan.
BERNARD: What is it?
JUDY: I’ll go with you than flirt with Jack Frost long enough for you to rescue Angelica.
~Meanwhile at Jack Frost’s lair~
ANGELICA: Let me go because this isn’t fair.
JACK: You’re not going anywhere until he agree to be my wife.
ANGELICA: In your dreams because I don’t even love you.
JACK: You will learn to love me.
ANGELICA: Not in this life time plus I’m already in love with someone else.
JACK: Who might that be?
ANGELICA: I’m not telling you.
Jack Frost took Angelica to a room than threw her inside and locked the door.
JACK: You aren’t come out of there until you tell me who you are in love with than when you do tell me than I will kill him.
Jack Frost left than Angelica fell to the floor.

Bernard looked at Judy.
BERNARD: What are you waiting for?
JUDY: I’m waiting for you to say the word.
BERNARD: Alright let’s go.

Judy and Bernard leave for Jack Frost’s lair. Bernard hid and Judy went to where Jack Frost is.
JUDY: Hi Jack Frost.” Judy said.
JACK: What are you doing here?
JUDY: I couldn’t stop thinking about you and how cute you are.
Judy pulled Jack close and kissed him. Bernard’s mouth dropped in shock. Judy winked at Bernard.
Bernard nodded his head than went in search of Angelica.
BERNARD (thought to himself): Where could he be hiding her?
All of a sudden Bernard heard someone singing.
Be brave, little one
Make a wish for each sad little tear
Hold your head up, though no one is near
Someone's waiting for you
Don't cry, little one
There'll be a smile where a frown used to be
You'll be part of the love that you see
Someone's waiting for you
Always keep a little prayer in your pocket
And you're sure to see the light
Soon there'll be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright
Have faith, little one
Till your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave, little one
Someone's waiting to love you
Bernard smiled than follows the singing to a locked door. There is a guard sleeping by the door so. Bernard used his elf magic to go invisible and took the key away from the guard. Bernard opened the door with the key. Angelica walked out of the room.
ANGELICA: Who unlocked that door?
Bernard becomes visible again.
BERNARD: I unlocked it.
Angelica hugged Bernard.
ANGELICA: You’re my hero Bernard.
Bernard sighed deeply than put his arms around Angelica.
BERNARD: I couldn’t bear not having you around the Santa’s Village.
ANGELICA: Awe Bernard you’re so sweet.

Judy noticed them than they run back to Santa’s Village.
SANTA: I’m very sorry for doing that but I had no choice.
Angelica smiled.
ANGELICA: I know Santa and it’s okay.
Bernard sighed deeply again just as Jack Frost appeared.
JACK (in an angry yell): You tricked me.”
SANTA: Well we had to in order to get one of our best elves back where she belongs.
Jack Frost started walking toward Angelica and Bernard stepped in his way.
BERNARD (screamed): Don’t even think about touching her because if you do that you’ll have me to deal with.
JACK: Do you think I’m scared of you?
SANTA: You better be scared of him Jack Frost because he is the strongest elf here and he’s my head elf remember so that means he has the most elf magic.
Jack Frost looked at Santa.
JACK: You better be prepared for a storm that will cancel Christmas this year.
All of a sudden Mother Nature, The Sandman, Cupid, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy and Father Time appear.
Mother Nature walked over to Jack Frost.
MOTHER NATURE: You will nothing of the sort and leave Angelica alone.
Jack Frost growled than left. Angelica hugged Mother Nature.

SANTA: You mean they fall in love on their own?
Cupid nodded his head.
CUPID: Yes they did.
Mother Nature over heard than came over.
MOTHER NATURE: Do you have a problem with them being in love?
SANTA: Maybe just a little problem.
Carol overheard too and she walked over to Santa.
CAROL: I don’t know what you’re worried about my dear because it’s very obvious that no matter Bernard will protect Angelica at all costs.
SANTA: What made you say that?
CAROL: He just saved her from Jack Frost and that my dear shows how much he cares.
MOTHER NATURE: Your wife is right about that one Santa because love has no boundaries and it will conquer anything even danger.
Santa and Carol look at Mother Nature.
SANTA: Who told you that?
MOTHER NATURE: Cupid of course.
Mother Nature, Cupid, Father Time, The Easter Bunny and The Tooth Fairy left. Bernard looked at Angelica than let’s a long sigh.
BERNARD (thought to himself): I’m so glad that she’s back where she belongs which is with me. Now the next thing is to tell her how I feel about her.
Mycheal snapped his fingers in front of Bernard’s face.
MYCHEAL: Are you in there Bernard?
BERNARD: Yeah I am and sorry I just got lost in my thoughts.
MYCHEAL (whispered): Where you thinking about Angelica by any chance?
BERNARD (whispered back): Yeah I was thinking about her and I want her to be mine for now and for all eternity.” Bernard answered.

BERNARD: Could you give this to her when you pass out the rest of the presents?
SANTA: Yeah of course I could but it would probably be better if you give it to her.
BERNARD: I know it should me but I'm just too shy plus I'd like my special talent to stay a secret.
Santa smiled than took the gift from Bernard. It's later that day now. Santa is getting ready for his Christmas Eve trip. Carol kissed Santa good-bye.
CAROL: Be careful honey.
Santa smiled.
SANTA: Don't worry my dear I'll be careful.

Angelica opened the gift and when she seen it her mouth dropped open in shock.
ANGELICA: Oh Santa it's beautiful.
SANTA: Yeah I know it is but I didn't make.
ANGELICA: Who made it?
SANTA: The official jewelry maker elf did.
IVY: Who is that?
Bernard sighed. Bernard got up and walked over to Angelica.
BERNARD: I am the official jewelry maker elf.
Angelica glared at Bernard.
ANGELICA: You made this for me?
Bernard nodded his head.
BERNARD: Yes I did because you're an angel to me.
Angelica got to her.
ANGELICA: Could I talk to you alone please?
BERNARD: Yeah sure.
ANGELICA: Alright follow me.
BERNARD (sotto): To ends of the Earth my angel.
ANGELICA: What did you just say?
BERNARD: It was nothing so let's go.
Bernard and Angelica went out of earshot of all the other elves.
ANGELICA: Are you in love with me?
Bernard just grinned.
ANGELICA: Come on answered me.
BERNARD: I can do better than that.
Angelica got a confused look on her face. Bernard pulled Angelica close and kissed her.
Angelica's eyes widened in shock than a few minutes Bernard broke the kiss.
ANGELICA: Wow, you're an amazing kisser.
BERNARD: Thanks a lot and so are you.
ANGELICA: Does the mean that we are boyfriend and girlfriend now?
BERNARD: It sure does my angel.
Angelica looked at the necklace in her hand than at Bernard.

BERNARD: Yes, you are my angel.
Bernard and Angelica walked back over to the others hand in hand.

BERNARD: How many times have I told not to do that Crystal?
CRYSTAL: It's not fair that only Santa knows the truth.
Angelica walked over to Bernard and Crystal.
ANGELICA: What are you talking about Crystal?
Crystal looked at Bernard.
CRYSTAL: Well you see it's like this I have brother here.
Bernard sighed than walked off looking mad.
CRYSTAL: If you don't get back here now that I'll go get mom.
Angelica's eyes widened and she ran after Bernard.
ANGELICA: Is Crystal your sister?
Bernard sighed again.
BERNARD: Yes she is.
Angelica sighed than walked off.
ANGELICA: Bernard never told me that he has a sister. I was wondering why he never told me that he has a sister.
Bernard heard Angelica than walked up to behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
BERNARD: I want to tell you and everyone but our mother made us promise not to let anyone find out.
Angelica sighed.

MOTHER NATURE: You felt that too right.
Santa nodded.
SANTA: Do you think it's Bernard?
MOTHER NATURE: Yeah it is and I really wish he'd stop hiding stuff because it really worries me.
Carol walked over to them and looked at Santa.
CAROL: Is she who I think she is?
SANTA: Yes dear she is.
CAROL: Wow, I didn't even know that Mother Nature had children.
Mother Nature sighed.
MOTHER NATURE: My husband was one of Santa's elves along time ago but sadly he got killed and I don't like talking about it.
CAROL: What was his name?
MOTHER NATURE: His name was Douglas.
Santa sighed.
SANTA: Douglas also used to be the head elf back before Bernard was born.
CAROL: Wow that's so cool.
MOTHER NATURE: Did you noticed that are names are the first 4 letters of the alphabet?
CAROL: Azealla, Bernard, Crystal and Douglas, oh yeah you are right they do.
Angelica and Crystal walked over. Mother Nature sighed.
MOTHER NATURE: Listen I have to go but I'll be back to visit again.

Mother Nature nodded his head.
MOTHER NATURE: Yes I am Angelica.
Angelica looked at Bernard.

SANTA: I knew there was wrong something with him.
Angelica turned around than when seen Bernard on the ground she forgot all about being mad than ran to him and knelled next to him.
ANGELICA (as tears start to fall): Bernard, wake up please.
Santa sighed. Bernard doesn't walked.
IVY: Why don't you try kissing him?
ANGELICA This better work.
Angelica leaned in and kisses Bernard. A few minutes Angelica broke the kiss. Bernard moaned than opened his eyes. Angelica hugged Bernard really tight.
ANGELICA: I thought I was going to loose you.
Bernard got to his feet than pulled Angelica up into his arms.
BERNARD: I'm just a little weak from using so elf magic on your necklace and please don't cry because I can't bare to see my angel cry.
Angelica smiled than kisses Bernard. Santa pulled Carol close and kissed her.

The days pass by so quickly and now it is Valentine’s Day. Bernard is up this room pacing back in forth trying to figure out what to give his angel for Valentine’s Day. Bernard suddenly came up with the idea of writing her some poetry. Ivy and Angelica are down in the workshop talking. Angelica looked around.
ANGELICA: Have you seen Bernard?

NORBERT: He told me that he didn’t want anyone especially you disturb him.
Angelica sighed than sat down on the steps going upstairs. Ivy sat down next to her best friend. A little while later Bernard is done of his poem so he put into his shoulder bag and went downstairs. Bernard seen Angelica than ran to her and sat down beside.
BERNARD: What’s the matter my angel?
ANGELICA: I got really worried early when Norbert told me that you didn't want anyone especially me to disturb you.
BERNARD: What were you worried about?
ANGELICA: I was worried that you didn't want to be with me anymore.
Bernard pulled Angelica close to him.
BERNARD: Listen to my angel, I love you with every fiber in me and nothing or nobody is ever going to change that.
ANGELICA: Wow Ivy was right you are deep when it comes to your inner feelings.
Bernard took the the piece of paper of his shoulder bag than passed it to Angelica. Angelica unfolded the paper than read it and kissed Bernard passionately.
BERNARD: Happy Valentine’s Day my angel.
They suddenly get caught up in passionate kiss. A few minutes the break apart than notice the Tooth Fairy talking to Santa. Bernard goes over to them.
BERNARD: What’s going on?
SANTA: Legendary figures have decided to have meeting to figure out a way to get rid of Jack Frost for good.
BERNARD: Wow that would be great because I don’t trust him especially when it comes to the love of my life.
SANTA: The only thing is that you have to come with me.
BERNARD: Are you serious?
SANTA: Yes I am.
BERNARD: I’m not going.
SANTA: You haven’t got a choice in the matter Bernard.
ANGELICA: I’m not leaving Angelica because if I do and something happens to her I will never forgive myself.
SANTA: Would you like me to get your mother here?
BERNARD: Okay I’m coming but just give some time to tell the love of my life and say good-bye to her.
Bernard walked over to where Angelica is talking to Ivy.
ANGELICA: What was that all about my teddy bear?
Bernard let out a long sigh.
BERNARD: I have to go on business trip with Santa.
ANGELICA: Do you really have to go?
BERNARD: Yes I do but just remember this my angel absence makes the heart grow founder.
Santa and Bernard leave. Angelica sighed than started crying. It’s a few days later and Ivy is just waking up than she comes down and that moment she hears someone coughing. Ivy goes to Angelica’s room to find her sick in bed.
~Meanwhile in the secret lair of where Legendary Figures, Santa Claus and Bernard are~
Bernard let out a gasp. Mother Nature walked over to Bernard.
MOTHER NATURE: What’s the matter son?
BERNARD: I’m worried about Angelica.
THE EASTER BUNNY: What do you mean?
BERNARD: I have this feeling that something is wrong with her and it won’t go away.
Mother Nature looks at her son than sighs.
MOTHER NATURE: You go back to Santa’s Village and be with the love of your life.
CUPID (yelled): He needs to help us.
MOTHER NATURE: No he needs to be with the love of his life.
Bernard used his elf magic to back to Santa’s Village.
Ivy and Norbert come running over to her.
BERNARD: Where is she?
IVY: She’s up in her bedroom but I won’t advise you to go up there.
Bernard ignored Ivy and ran as fast as he can up to Angelica’s bedroom.
Angelica is sitting on her bed and she’s really pale. Bernard walked over and sat next to her than pulled him close to him.
BERNARD: Don’t worry my angel I’m here now.
Angelica looks up into Bernard’s brown eyes.
ANGELICA: What about your trip with Santa?
BERNARD: My mother told me to come here to be with you when I sensed something was wrong.
ANGELICA: You sensed there was something wrong with me?
Bernard nodded his head.
BERNARD: Yeah I did and it looks like the love we have is growing stronger than I thought it would.
ANGELICA: Do you remember the first day that I came to Santa’s Workshop?
BERNARD: Yeah I do very well but back than I didn’t feel the way I do for you now.
ANGELICA: What do you mean?
BERNARD: I didn’t like you at first but you grew on me than all of a sudden I was falling head over heels in love with you.
Flashback to the day that Angelica came to Santa’s Workshop~
A 1220 year old Bernard is walking around Santa’s Workshop making sure everyone is doing their jobs right. Santa walked over to Bernard.
SANTA: Could you come with me?
BERNARD: Sure of course Santa.
Bernard followed Santa to where the new elves that want to become Santa’s elves are.
SANTA: These are your newest elves to train.
Bernard smiled and Santa left.
BERNARD: Hi everyone, I’m Santa’s head elf and elf trainer Bernard.
A few of the girl elves giggle and one of the boy elves steps forward.
YULE: My name is Yuletide but please call me Yule.
BERNARD: What are the rest of your names?
IVY: My name is Ivy.
ANGELICA: Hi, my name is Angelica and I'm Ivy's best friend.
EVANGELINA: I’m Evangelina.
GARLAND: My name is Garland.
Angelica sighed.
BERNARD: Is there anything wrong?
Angelica sighed again.
ANGELICA: I’m just worried that I won’t be a good elf.
Ivy looked at her best friend.
IVY: The only way to find out is to try your best.
Angelica nodded her head.
ANGELICA: Yes, yes you are so right Ivy.
They start their elf training. Angelica is struggled than Bernard rolled his eyes. Santa came over to them.
SANTA: How is it going my head elf?
BERNARD: It’s going alright except for Angelica and I don’t think she’s cut out to be one your elves.
ANGELICA: Just give her time she’ll figure it out.
Bernard sighed than walked over to Angelica.
BERNARD (yelled): Listen you’re doing it all wrong.
ANGELICA (screamed): I’m trying my best but obviously my best just isn't good enough for you.
BERNARD (yelled): Don’t you dare talk me like that.
ANGELICA (screamed): Well don’t yell at me either.
BERNARD: I will if you stop screaming at me and get back to work.” Bernard said.
Angelica rolled her eyes than got back to work. Bernard walked off to see how the other elves are doing. A few days later it’s graduation time.
BERNARD: You have all done very well so when I say your name please come get your certificate.
IVY: Did we all make it?
BERNARD: You’ll find out when the call the names.
ANGELICA (whispered to Ivy): I have a feeling that I didn’t make it.
BERNARD: First one is Yule.
Yule came up at and got his certificate.
YULE: Wow, this is so cool.
BERNARD: Next up is Evangelina.
Evangelina came up and got her certificate.
EVANGELINA: This is so awesome.
GARLAND: Next is Garland.
Garland came up and gets his certificate than hugged Evangelina.
IVY: At last but not least Ivy.
Ivy just stares at Bernard but doesn’t move. Bernard looks at Ivy.
IVY: No I don’t my certificate because if my best friend can’t be with me than I don’t want to be one of Santa’s elves and you what you’re really mean.
Bernard went to something just as Santa came.
SANTA: Could I have moment alone with your Bernard?
Bernard sighed than followed Santa.
BERNARD: Okay we’re alone.
SANTA: What do you have against Angelica?
BERNARD: I told you that she’s not cut out to be one of your elves and her constant giggling annoys me.
Ivy walked over to them.
IVY: How about it I help you her out? Will you let her stay than
BERNARD: Okay yes if you stop bugging me about it.
The months pass and Angelica is finally getting the hang of things. Bernard walked over to Angelica.
BERNARD: You have come along way and I liked to promote you head toy elf.
Angelica smiled than hugged Bernard.
ANGELICA: Thanks so much Bernard.
BERNARD: Yeah you’re welcome and don’t touch me.
It has been a year since Angelica came to Santa’s Workshop. Bernard is watching all the elves than suddenly found him staring at Angelica.
BERNARD: What I’m doing?
Bernard's best friend Norbert walks over to Bernard.
NORBERT: You’re staring into space.
Bernard sighed and Norbert left.
BERNARD (thought to himself): Wow she’s so very beautiful. Wait a minute what I’m I saying. I’m actually falling for the one elf that I can't stand.
Ivy and Angelica walked over to Bernard.
BERNARD: What would you like?
IVY: Jolly is picking on us.
Bernard marched over to Jolly and tapped him on the shoulder.
JOLLY: What is it?
BERNARD: I would like you stop teasing the girl elves or I will have to tell Santa.
Angelica smiled and Bernard noticed.
BERNARD (thought to himself): Wow she has such a beautiful smile.
The days go by and Bernard started falling for Angelica even more with each passing day. Angelica looking over at Bernard.
ANGELICA (thought to herself): Wow he’s such so handsome. What I am talking that way about him? He’s the one that won’t let be one of Santa’s elves and now I’m falling for him.
~End of flashback~
Bernard pulled Angelica close to him.
BERNARD: I’m sorry for the way I treated when you first came here to one of Santa’s elves and I’m really glad that Ivy stood up for you that day.
ANGELICA: Thanks my teddy bear and she was right about you back than because you were mean but you've changed.
BERNARD: You are the one that has changed me because you have opened my eyes to a whole new meaning.
ANGELICA: I love it when you get all deep with your feelings.
BERNARD: How are you feeling now my angel?
ANGELICA: I’m feeling a lot better thanks to you.
Angelica and Bernard go downstairs.
Norbert walked over to them.
NORBERT: How are you doing there Mistletoe?
BERNARD: I’m good and I have told you a million times don’t call me that.
Angelica looked at Bernard.
ANGELICA: Why did Chandler call you that?
BERNARD: You’ll find out soon my angel.
Norbert looked at Bernard.
NORBERT: You haven’t told her yet?
BERNARD: No I haven’t because I’m waiting for the perfect moment to let that side of me out.
ANGELICA: What are you two talking about
BERNARD: I told you that you’ll find out very soon my angel and when time is just right.
Angelica smiled a little. Bernard smiled too than kissed Angelica passionately.

Chapter 6
Bernard and Angelica The Matchmakers

Ivy is staring at Garland. Garland looked over at Ivy than winked and she blushed.
Angelica seen the whole thing and rolled her eyes. Crystal walked over.
CRYSTAL: What’s the matter?
ANGELICA: I’m so sick of seeing my best friend Ivy and Garland flirting all the time.
Norbert overheard.
NORBERT: Looks like a job for Mistletoe.
ANGELICA: Why is that you always calling him that?
NORBERT: You’ll find when he’s ready to tell you.
Bernard walked up behind Angelica and pulled her close to him.
BERNARD (whispered in her ear): I love you my angel.
Angelica smiled.
ANGELICA (whispered back): I love you too my teddy bear.
Bernard took Angelica out of earshot.
BERNARD: I couldn't help over hearing about what you said a few minutes ago about Ivy and Garland.
ANGELICA: Yeah I meant it when I said it.
BERNARD: I have away to get them together.
ANGELICA: What is that?
BERNARD: I can’t tell you that my angel and just leave everything up to me.
ANGELICA: What do you want me to do?
BERNARD: I want you to do is bring Ivy outside in a few minutes.
Bernard kissed Angelica than left to get Garland. Angelica went to get Ivy than go outside to find Garland sitting a table with a candlelit dinner for two with soft music playing and little snow shower.
Angelica and Ivy’s eyes widen.
IVY: Did you do this Garland?
GARLAND: No I didn’t because it was like this when I got here.
Chandler is close by.
NORBERT (thought to himself): Mistletoe strikes again.
ANGELICA: Who did all this than?
Bernard walked up behind Angelica than wrapped his arms around her.
BERNARD: I was that one that did it my angel.
Angelica looked up into Bernard’s gorgeous brown eyes.
ANGELICA: Wow, you never told me that you’re romantic.
BERNARD: Oh I can be a lot more romantic than this and that’s why all the other elves call me Mistletoe.
Bernard and Angelica left so that Ivy can enjoy her date with Garland. A few minutes later Bernard and Angelica are sitting on his bed in his room. Bernard sighs deeply.
ANGELICA: What’s wrong?
BERNARD: It’s nothing my angel.
Angelica got a scared look on her face. Bernard got to his feet than fainted.
Angelica knelled down next to him and kissed him than a few minutes she broke the kiss. Bernard opened his eyes and looked at Angelica. Angelica suddenly figured out what is wrong with Bernard.
BERNARD: You’re weak aren't you?
Bernard sighed than nodded his head.
BERNARD: Yeah I am.
ANGELICA: I want you to stop using your elf magic so much because it drains you too much.
BERNARD: Anything for my angel.
ANGELICA: Bernard, stop the sweet talk right now.
BERNARD: Sorry my angel.
ANGELICA: It's alright.
It’s now June 19th which means that it is Bernard and Angelica’s 6 month anniversary. Bernard is up his room trying to figure just how to show Angelica his true romantic side.
BERNARD: Is it worth it? What if I show her than she doesn’t like it? Do I really want to take that risk?
Nobert walked into the room.
NORBERT: I’d just go with it Mistletoe and I’m sure she will love your romantic side.
BERNARD: You’re right I should go for it and stop worrying over it.
Norbert smiled than leaves. Bernard changed than went to down to the workshop to find Crystal sitting by herself. Bernard walked over to his twin sister.
BERNARD: What’s the matter sis?
CRYSTAL: I can’t take it anymore with feelings that I have hidden so deep.
BERNARD: What are you talking about?
CRYSTAL: I’m in love with your best friend Norbert.
Bernard’s gorgeous brown eyes widen in shock.
BERNARD: Wow I had know idea you felt that way for my best friend.
Crystal sighed than noticed the way her brother is dressed.
CRYSTAL: Why are you all dressed up?
BERNARD: It’s mine and Angelica’s 6 month anniversary.
Crystal notices Santa talking to their mother and a man. Mother Nature looks really angry. Bernard and Crystale go over.
SANTA: Azealla calm down.
MOTHER NATURE: No I won’t because he left him when I need him the most and made us all believe that he was dead when really he wasn’t.
Bernard gasped than looks at Crystal.
BERNARD: I don’t believe but he’s right in front of us.
The man walked over to Bernard and Crystal than hugged them both.
MAN: Hello Bernard and Crystal.
The man turned to Mother Nature.
MAN: Please give me another chance because I still love you.
MOTHER NATURE: If you want me back Douglas than you are going to have to win me back.
Ivy and Angelica walked over. Bernard got a scared look.
DOUGLAS: What’s wrong son?
BERNARD: Nothing dad.
Angelica looked at Douglas than at Bernard.
ANGELICA: Didn't you say your father was dead?
BERNARD: That’s what I thought but he’s not.
Norbert walked over.
NORBERT: How do you plan win your wife back?
DOUGLAS: That’s simple I’m going to turn on my romantic charm.
NORBERT: Oh now see where your son gets it from right Mistletoe.
DOUGLAS: Why did you call him that?
NORBERT: That’s his nickname around here because his specialty move is creating Mistletoe out of nowhere just catch a pretty elf under it plus he’s also romantic like you.
Angelica started to shiver a little. Bernard pulled her close to him to keep her warm. Douglas looked at his son and than at Angelica.
DOUGLAS: Could I talk you alone son?
BERNARD: Yeah sure dad.
Douglas and Bernard walked out of earshot.
DOUGLAS: Who was that girl elf that you wrapped your arms around?
BERNARD: Her name is Angelica and she’s my girlfriend.
DOUGLAS: She’s what?.
BERNARD: You heard me dad.
DOUGLAS: How old is she?
BERNARD: I’m not sure.
Douglas walked over to Angelica with Bernard right behind him.
DOUGLAS: How are old are you?
ANGELICA: I’m 1231 years old.
Douglas stared at his son.
DOUGLAS: You’re going out with an elf that’s five years younger than you?
Bernard sighed.
BERNARD: Yes dad I am because I love her with all my heart and age doesn’t matter when you’re in love.
DOUGLAS (yelled): I don’t want you hanging around my son anymore.
Angelica’s eyes fill with tears than she ran off. Bernard glared at his father than sudden Douglas goes flying through the air. Mother Nature and Santa exchange looked. Santa sighed. Mother Nature took Douglas out of earshot.
MOTHER NATURE: Why are you always so hard on him?
DOUGLAS: I don’t know I guess it because it’s hard watching our children go up and I just sometimes wish they were little again.
Crystal sighed. Ivy looked at her than Mother Nature.
IVY: Why do you and Bernard so much alike?
CRYSTAL: He’s my brother that’s why.
IVY: That’s not what I mean.
Mother Nature and Douglas over hear than they take Santa out of earshot.
DOUGLAS: You see it’s like this Crystal is actually older than everyone here thinks.
SANTA: What do you mean?
MOTHER NATURE: She’s really 1236 years old.
SANTA: How is that possible?.
DOUGLAS: She and Bernard are twins.
SANTA (yelled): They’re what?
MOTHER NATURE: You heard him.
Santa smiled.
DOUGLAS: You can’t tell anyone and they don’t even know.
Santa snapped his fingers making Crystal’s elf profile change. Bernard is up in the Elf Archives looking for Angelica’s profile and suddenly he found it. Bernard took it out and read it.
BERNARD: Oh interesting.
Bernard put it back than noticed his sister’s profile so he took it out and read it too. Bernard’s eyes widen in shock when he seen her age on it and her marched downstairs where everyone is.
BERNARD: MOTHER.
All the elves looked at Bernard. Mother Nature walked over to Bernard.
MOTHER NATURE: Yes son.
BERNARD: What is the meaning of this?
MOTHER NATURE: There is really hard but Crystal isn't just your sister she’s actually your twin.
BERNARD: My what?
MOTHER NATURE: You heard me son.
BERNARD: How could you and dad keep something like this from me?
DOUGLAS: We want to tell you both believe me but we wanted to wait until the perfect time to tell you.
Bernard rolled his eyes than walked off.
NORBERT: Do you remember the day that you become head elf?
DOUGLAS: Yes I do Azealla like it was yesterday.
~Flashback to where Douglas become the Santa’s head elf~
A younger Douglas is walking around the Santa’s Workshop when sudden a 206 year old Crystal ran over and hugged him.
CRYSTAL: Bernard is picking on me.
BERNARD: She started it.
DOUGLAS: Okay you two that’s enough.
Santa walked over to them.
SANTA: Could I talk to talk you alone Douglas?
DOUGLAS: Yeah sure Santa.
SANTA: Alright than let’s go.
DOUGLAS: Behave yourself Bernard.
Santa and Douglas walked off.
Bernard grinned than started picking on his sister again.
CRYSTAL: Didn't you hear what dad said to you?
BERNARD: I’m not afraid of dad.
A few minutes later Douglas comes back.
CRYSTAL: What did Santa want you for dad?
DOUGLAS: I've be promoted to his head elf.
CRYSTAL: That’s so great.
~End of flashback~
Angelica walked over to them.
ANGELICA: Where did Bernard go?
DOUGLAS: He probably went to where he’s been going since he was a little elf when he gets mad.
ANGELICA: What made him mad?
DOUGLAS: It was something that he found that Azealla and I have been keeping for him and Crystal.
CRYSTAL: What are you talking about?
DOUGLAS: You’re not 1232 years old.
CRYSTAL: How old I am than?
DOUGLAS: You’re 1236 years old.
CRYSTAL: How can I be the same age as my brother?
DOUGLAS: That’s very simple because you and Bernard are twins.
Angelica gasped.
ANGELICA: Wow.
CRYSTAL: I've always wondered why Bernard and I look some much alike.
All of a sudden they all hear someone singing.
CAROL: Who’s singing?
SANTA: I've heard that singing voice before when I first become Santa all those years ago.
The singer gets a louder. Curtis shook his head and Crystal followed it outside the workshop. Angelica follows Crystal too.
I can see that you've been crying
You can't hide it with a lie
What's the use in you denying
That what you have is wrong
I heard him promise you forever
But forevers come and go
Baby, he would say whatever
It takes to keep you blind
Tell the truth between the lies, oh
I will love you more than that
I won't say the words
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that
Baby, you deserve much better
What's the use in holding on
Don’t you see it’s now or never
'Cause I just can’t be friends
Baby knowing in the end, that..
I will love you more than that
I WON'T say the words
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
Hey...
There's not a day that passes by
I don't wonder why we haven’t tried
It's not too late to change your mind
So take my hand, don’t say goodbye
I will love you more than that
I WON'T say the words
Then take them back (ohhh)
I will love you more than that (that)
I WON'T say the words (the words)
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that (ohhh)
I will love you more than that
I WON'T say the words
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that
Crystal looked up at the roof of Santa’s Workshop and seen her twin brother.
CRYSTAL: How in the world did he get up there?
Angelica looked at where Crystal is looking and seen Bernard too.
ANGELICA: I have no idea but he’s scaring me being up that high.
Angelica took her eyes away for a minute than when she looked up again to find that Bernard isn't there.
ANGELICA: Now where did he go?
Bernard walked up behind Angelica than wrapped his arms around her.
BERNARD: I’m right here my angel.
Angelica turned to face Bernard.
CRYSTAL: Where you the one singing?
Bernard smiled.
BERNARD: Yes I was.
Angelica hugged Bernard.
ANGELICA: You have such amazing and gorgeous singing voice.
BERNARD: Thanks my angel.
Angelica looked away than noticed Ivy and Garland kissing. Crystal sighed than noticed Chandler coming over and she blushed a little. Bernard sighed deeply.
ANGELICA: Are you okay my teddy bear?
Bernard shook his head.
BERNARD: No I’m not my angel.
ANGELICA: Have you been using your elf magic again?
BERNARD: No not at all.
Bernard sighed deeply again.
ANGELICA: Don’t lie to me Bernard because I know by now how you get when you’re weak from using your elf magic.
BERNARD: Okay, okay I have being using my elf magic but it was for a good reason.
ANGELICA: What do you mean?
BERNARD: If you follow me my angel than you’ll find out.
Bernard takes Angelica by the hand and they go on crisp moonlight walk around Santa’s Village. While they walk they are frequent hugging and kissing. They walk for awhile than Bernard stops and put his arms around Angelica as they watch the sunset over the horizon of the North Pole. Bernard snaps his fingers and the CD player that he borrowed from Santa’s Workshop starts playing “How I Did I Fall In Love With You” starts to play. Bernard smiles.
BERNARD: Would you like to dance with me my angel?
ANGELICA: I would love to dance with you my teddy bear.
Bernard pulled Angelica close to him and they started slowing dancing.
Angelica lays her head on Bernard’s shoulder. Douglas is watching from the window of Santa’s Workshop. Angelica starts to shiver a little. Bernard wraps his arms tighter around Angelica and uses his elf magic to keep her warm.
ANGELICA: Don’t you use too much of your elf magic or you’ll get weak again.
Bernard smiled. A few minutes later the song “What I’ve Been Looking For” started to play. Bernard and Angelica continue dancing. A few minutes later that song is over too.
ANGELICA: Why did you play those songs?
BERNARD: They are our special songs but I wanted us to have just one special song but I couldn't decide between those two because they suit us so perfectly.
Angelica smiled.
ANGELICA: There you go getting all deep again but I don’t mind because that’s one of the biggest things that I love about you.
Bernard’s eyes widen than he just smiled and kissed her too. A few minutes later they break apart.
BERNARD: Would like your anniversary present?
ANGELICA: Yes I would.
Bernard took a little box of his bag around his shoulder. Angelica’s eyes widen as Bernard opened it to reveal a 10kt gold pearl diamond promise ring.
BERNARD: Angelica I want to know that no matter what I will always be there for you. You have changed me so much and shown me what love truly is. This ring is my promise that someday you'll be my wife.
ANGELICA: Oh, Bernard it's gorgeous just like you. I love it just as much as I love you.
They break apart a few minutes later and Bernard puts the promise ring on Angelica’s finger. They walk inside hand in hand. Bernard kisses Angelica than goes up to his bedroom. Angelica goes to her bedroom that she shares with Ivy.
Ivy watching “The Grinch”. Angelica falls onto the bed and lets a long happy sigh.
IVY: Why are you so happy all of a sudden?
ANGELICA: I’m lucky that why I’m happy.
IVY: What do you mean you’re lucky?
ANGELICA: I’m lucky because I have such a gorgeous and romantic boyfriend.
Ivy suddenly noticed the ring on Angelica’s hand and she gasped.
IVY: Where did you get that beautiful ring?
ANGELICA: It’s my anniversary present from Bernard and no it’s not an engagement ring.
IVY: What is than?
ANGELICA: It’s a promise ring.
A few hours Bernard wakes up and can’t back to sleep so he decides to go for a walk. Bernard sudden comes to Angelica and Ivy’s bedroom. Angelica is sleeping soundly. Bernard tip-toes into the room and over to Angelica’s bed. Angelica smiles in her sleep. Bernard sits on the bed than brushes one of Angelica’s braids away from her from her face and kisses her on the forehead.
BERNARD: Sweet dreams my angel and I love you.
Bernard goes back to his room and falls asleep again.

Chapter 8
Bernard’s Birthday

Angelica opens her eyes than gets out of bed and goes to down the workshop.
Ivy walks over to Angelica and hugs her.
“Good morning Angelica.” Ivy said.
“Why are you so happy this morning?” Angelica asked.
“The sun shining and it’s a beautiful day outside.” Ivy answered.
Santa walks into the workshop than over to Curtis.
“Have you seen Bernard?” Santa asked.
“No I haven’t seen him yet this morning.” Curtis answered.
“Well I’ve checked everywhere that I can think of but I can’t find him.” Santa said.
Angelica overhears than gets worried look and walks over to Santa.
“What do you mean you can’t find him? Where could he be? What does he always do this to me?” Angelica asked.
“I don’t know Angelica but he’s got to be around him somewhere.” Santa answered.
Angelica sits down on the floor and pulls her knees up to her chin than starts crying. All of a sudden Bernard sits down next to Angelica. Angelica looks at Bernard.
“Where have you been?” Angelica asked with tears in her eyes.
Bernard wipes the tears away from Angelica’s eyes.
“I slept in my angel.” Bernard answered.
Angelica hugs Bernard. Bernard smiles and hugs Angelica back.
They hug for a few minutes. Bernard releases Angelica than walks off.
Angelica runs after Bernard.
“What’s wrong my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Bernard yelled.
Bernard walks out of the workshop.
"What's wrong with Bernard today?" Angelica asked looking at Santa.
Santa sighs.
"I'm not sure if I should tell you and he always gets like this every year on this day." Santa answered.
"Why is that Santa?" Angelica asked.
"Alright I'll tell but if he asks how you found out you didn't hear it from me." Santa answered.
"Will you just tell me?" Angelica asked.
"Today is Bernard's birthday but he never liked turning older. His parents were constantly fighting when he was younger so he's never once had a very happy birthday." Santa answered.
"Oh poor Bernard but this year is going to be different for him because I'm gong make sure of that." Angelica said.
"How are you going to that?" Crystale asked.
"That's simple I'm going throw the best surprise party that your twin brother has ever had and I need you to help me out by keeping your twin out of the workshop until everything is ready." Angelica answered.
Crystale nods her head than goes outside where Bernard is sitting on the steps of the workshop in tears. Crystale hugs Bernard. Angelica gets Santa and the other elves to help her decorate the workshop. The elf cook makes the special cookies and a cake for Bernard with Angelica's help. Angelica turns off all the lights than sends Jingle to tell Crystale and Bernard to come. Angelica goes to Chandler and gets him to make the special personalized candle for Bernard than she writes the song for him. Angelica hides with everyone else. Bernard, Crystale and Jingle come in.
"Why are the lights off?" Bernard asked.
"I don't know so turn them on." Crystale answered.
Bernard turns on the lights and everybody but Angelica comes of their hiding places.
"Surprise Happy Birthday Bernard." Santa and the elves say together.
Bernard's eyes widen in shock.
"Whose idea was this?" Bernard asked.
Angelica comes out of her hiding place than walks over to Bernard and looks at him.
"It was my idea." Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than pulls Angelica and kisses her passionately. A few minutes later they break the kiss.
“Why did you to this for me? How did you know that today was birthday?” Bernard asked.
Angelica looks at Santa. Santa sighs than nods his head yes.
“I did it because I love you my teddy bear and Santa told me that today was your birthday after I asked him what was wrong with you.” Angelica answered.
Bernard hugs Angelica.
“Thanks my angel because I know that having you in my life is going to make my birthday a happier day for me.” Bernard said.
Angelica passes Bernard a brown gift bag. Bernard opens it to find the special cookies and the personalized candle. Angelica smiles as Bernard’s eyes fill with happy tears and he hugs her really tight. The elf cook cares the cake out with the candles on it.
“Make a wish my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
“I don’t know what to wish for because you’re everything that I’ve wanted.” Bernard replied.
Angelica smiles. Bernard blows out the candles.
“What did you wish for my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“If I tell you than it won’t come true my angel.” Bernard answered.
They eat the cake and have a whole bunch of fun. It’s a few days later.
Santa walks over to Bernard.
“Do you still remember how to speak all those languages that I taught you?” Santa asked.
“Yeah of course I do.” Bernard answered.
“Alright I’m going to test to see if really do.” Santa said.
“Okay test away.” Bernard replied.
“How do you say Merry Christmas in Arabic?” Santa asked.
“Milad Majid.” Bernard answered.
Angelica is with Bernard.
“How do you say Merry Christmas in Danish?” Santa asked.
“Glædelig Jul.” Bernard answered.
“How do you say Merry Christmas in French?” Santa asked.
“Joyeux Noel.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles at hearing Bernard speak French.
“He’s speaks French so wonderfully and he sounds so gorgeous when he speaks it.” Angelica thinks to herself.
Bernard hears Angelica’s thoughts than a smile spreads across his face.
“How do you say Merry Christmas in Greek?” Santa asked.
“Kala Christouyenna!” Bernard answered.
“How do you say Merry Christmas in Icelandic?” Santa asked.
“Gledileg Jol.” Bernard answered.
Angelica starts getting angry with Bernard talking in the different languages so goes outside and sits on the steps,
“What about how to say Merry Christmas in Finnish?” Santa asked.
“Hyvaa joulua.” Bernard answered.

Bernard tightens his grip on Angelica.
“Listen to me my angel you just have to keep wishing and someday when the time is right we have a child of our own.” Bernard answered.

A few elves walk over to him.
“Oh look little Bernard is eating all by himself again.” The first elf said.
“Leave me alone Beau.” Bernard yelled.
“Nah! It’s so much more fun to pick on you.” Beau said.
“Why me?” Bernard asked.
“That’s simple because you are freak and a geek.” the second elf answered.
“Nice one Wade.” Beau said.
A younger Chandler is watching from a distance just as younger Ivy and Angelica appear.
“What are you doing?” Ivy asked.
“I just don’t like the way that Beau, Wade, Galen and Vance treat Bernard all the time.” Chandler answered.
“Why don’t you do something about it?” Angelica asked.
“You know I think just might if they keep treating him that way.” Chandler answered.
“Like what?” Ivy asked.
“Just watch me.” Chandler answered.
Chandler marches over to where Beau, Wade, Galen and Vance are teasing Bernard.

Chapter 10
Angelica’s Birthday

The months go by and now it’s December. It’s also Angelica’s birthday but nobody knows except for Santa that is. Angelica is up her room bawling her eyes out. Bernard is in his room when suddenly he sees Angelica crying in his heart and he feels her sadness. Bernard jumps to his feet than runs as fast as he can to Angelica’s room. Angelica is sitting on the window seat looking out at Santa’s Village. Bernard comes behind her than wraps his arms around and pulls her up close to him.
“What’s wrong my angel?” Bernard asked.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“Today is a very special day for me but I’m not telling you why because have to guess.” Angelica answered.
Angelica gets to her feet leaves the room and Bernard follows her.
“Come please tell me what today is.” Bernard said.
“No, now leave me alone.” Angelica yelled.
Angelica walks off looking sad. Bernard walks to the elf archives than looks at Angelica’s profile.
“Oh, no wonder she’s mad and I have to do something to cheer her up.” Bernard said.
Bernard goes to the workshop than makes an Angelica name necklace for his angel than puts into his shoulder bag. Bernard sighs than walks up to his room and goes onto his laptop to find a song that he can sing to Angelica. Bernard suddenly comes across the song “Shape Of My Heart” by Backstreet Boys so he prints a copy of it and puts into his shoulder bag. Bernard walks down the kitchen. The head elf cook Evan looks up as Bernard walks into the kitchen.
“What can I help you with Bernard?” Evan asked.
“I need your help with making me a Gingerbread cake.” Bernard answered.
“Why?” Evan asked.
“Today is Angelica’s birthday and I want to make it as special as I can.” Bernard answered.
Evan smiles a little. Bernard makes the Gingerbread cake by himself than puts into the oven. All of a sudden the oven starts to smoke and the fire alarms go off.
“Go job Bernard you burn it.” said.
“Ah, I stink at cooking.” Bernard replied in yelled.
“How about trying it one more time?” Evan asked.
“Okay I’ll try.” Bernard answered.
Evan smiles than takes the burnt cake out of the oven and throws it in the garbage can. Bernard sighs that makes another cake and puts it into the oven.
A few minutes later the timer goes off.
“See I knew you could it you just to believe in yourself.” Evan said.
Bernard takes the cake out the oven than puts into the fridge for later.
Ivy comes running into the kitchen.
“Bernard, you need to come with me.” Ivy said.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Bernard asked.
“It’s Angelica.” Ivy answered.
“What about her? Is she alright?” Bernard asked.
“No she’s not because she is really upset and she won’t stop crying.” Ivy answered.
Bernard runs to where Angelica is than pulls her close and her crying calms down a little.
“It’s okay my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica looks up at Bernard.
“I’m sorry it’s just that I’m so upset right now.” Angelica replied.
Bernard takes the Angelica name necklace out his shoulder bag and gives it to her.
“This for you my angel.” Bernard said
“Why?” Angelica asked.
“It’s part of your birthday present from me.” Bernard answered.
“How did you figure out it was my birthday?” Angelica asked.
“I check your profile in the elf archives.” Bernard answered.
“Oh okay.” Angelica said.
“How old are you today anyway?” Bernard asked.
“I’m 1228 today.” Angelica answered.
“Oh wow only a year than me.” Bernard said.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“You’re 1229?” Angelica asked.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yeah I am.” Bernard answered.
Bernard sighs deeply.
“Are you weak again?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah just a little.” Bernard answered.
“What have I told you about using your elf magic so much?” Angelica asked.
“That you don’t want me using them as much.” Bernard answered.
“Why won’t you listen to me? Do you want to end up serious condition from using your elf magic so much?” Angelica asked.
Bernard sighs deeply again.
“No I don’t want that but I can’t stop making the jewelry because if I do than nobody will get any.” Bernard answered.
“Well just make less because I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Angelica said as tears start falling from her eyes.
Bernard wraps his arms around Angelica.
“Please there’s no need to cry about because I’ll be fine really.” Bernard said.
Angelica looks up at Bernard.
“I love you Bernard.” Angelica replied.
Bernard smiles than kisses Angelica than breaks it a few minutes later.
“I love you too Angelica.” Bernard said.
Bernard runs to the kitchen to get the Gingerbread cake and takes it back to Angelica.
“What’s this?” Angelica asked.
“This is the second part of your present.” Bernard answered.
“Did you make it?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah I did but this is the second one that I made.” Bernard answered.
“What happen to the first one?” Angelica asked.
“I burnt it.” Bernard answered.
“You what?” Angelica asked.
Bernard sighs.
“You heard me.” Bernard answered.
Angelica starts laughing.
“It’s not funny.” Bernard yelled.
Santa is watching from a distance and he smiles a little.
All of a sudden Melody starts chasing Stephen around the workshop.
“Ah Melody leave me alone.” Stephen screamed.
Bernard steps in front of Stephen.
“Oh come you like her and she likes you now just kiss her already.” Bernard said.
“I don’t want to kiss her.” Stephen yelled.
All of a sudden Melody catches up with Stephen. Bernard uses his elf magic to make mistletoe above them.
“You might want to look up.” Bernard said.
Melody and Stephen look up.
“Oh no Bernard.” Stephen groans.
Melody pulls Stephen close and kisses him passionately. Bernard smiles than walks over to Angelica and pulls her close to him. Angelica smiles.
“I love it when he wraps his arms around me.” Angelica thinks to herself.
Bernard hears what she thinks and smiles a little.
Angelica notices him smiling.
“Why are you smiling like that for?” Angelica asked.
“Oh I just felt like. Okay that was a lie and I was smiling about what you were thinking about.” Bernard answered.
“What? Since when are you able to read my mind?” Angelica asked.
“I’ve been able to read your mind for a few months now.” Bernard answered.
“Same here.” Angelica said.
“What?” Bernard asked.
“You heard me my teddy bear.” Angelica answered.
“Whoa, it looks like our bond is growing stronger.” Bernard said.
“Yeah it does look the way.” Angelica replied.
“There’s something I need to tell you.” Bernard said.
“What’s that my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“It’s about two of my elf powers that are kind of secret.” Bernard answered.
“What elf powers are those?” Angelica asked.
“I can fly.” Bernard answered.
“Really? Could you show me?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah sure of course.” Bernard answered.
Bernard concentrates all his elf magic than lifts of the ground and flies around workshop.
“I wish that I could fly like that but sadly I can’t.” Angelica said in her mind.
Bernard hears Angelica’s thoughts than swoops down and takes her hand than they fly around the outside for awhile. Bernard brings them back down to the ground. They walk back inside.
“What’s your other secret elf power?” Angelica asked.
“If I tell you I have a feel something’s going to happen.” Bernard answered.
“Oh well just tell me already.” Angelica said.
“I need to ask you something first.” Bernard replied.
“Alright ask away.” Angelica said.
“Have you ever heard the elf power called Empathic Navigation?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I have heard of it.” Angelica answered.
“Do you know what happens when an elf has it?” Bernard asked.
“They can see with the heart and feel people sadness with their heart.” Angelica answered.
Bernard nods his head.
“You got it my angel and that’s my other secret elf power.” Bernard said.
Angelica whimpers than she suddenly faints but Bernard catches her in his arms.
Bernard looks down at Angelica just as she opens her eyes again.
“Are you okay my angel?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I’m fine but finding that you have the most specialist elf magic power of was a little shocking.” Angelica answered.
“I have one more thing for your birthday.” Bernard said.
“What’s that?” Angelica asked.
“I want to sing a song to you.” Bernard answered.
“Really?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah really, really.” Bernard answered.
“I love hearing you sing.” Angelica said.
Bernard and Angelica walk up to his bedroom.
Angelica sits on the bed and Bernard turns his CD Player to song disc 3 song 4.
The song starts playing and Bernard starts to sing along with it.
Hmm, yeah, yeah
Baby, please try to forgive me
Stay here don't put out the glow
Hold me now don't bother if every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that I've become, oh yeah
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Sadness is beautiful loneliness that's tragical
So help me I can't win this war, oh no
Touch me now don't bother if every second it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man I've become
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
I'm here with my confession
Got nothing to hide no more
I don't know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart
I'm lookin' back on things I've done
I never wanna play the same old part
I'll keep you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of
Show you the shape of my heart
Angelica gets to her feet and hugs Bernard.
“That was wonderful my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles.
“I’ve been thinking about something.” Bernard replied.
“What’s that my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“Um…I was thinking just so that I can keep a better eye on you and be with you more that you could move into my room but that’s totally up to you.” Bernard answered.
"(Screams) I'd love to. Because I would love to be closer to the love of my life." Angelica said.
Bernard kisses Angelica.
“I’m so glad that you feel that way my angel.” Bernard replied.
“What about Chandler?” Angelica asked.
“He could go across the room with Curtis.” Bernard answered.
“Doesn’t Curtis share a room with Garland?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah he does but I’m going to talk him about staying with Ivy plus she needs right now.” Bernard answered.
Bernard kisses Angelica than goes off to the find Garland.
“Could I talk to you please?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah sure.” Garland answered.
“How would like to be closer to your girlfriend?” Bernard asked.
“Wow would I ever especially now because she needs me so much.” Garland answered.
“Okay than it’s settled you are going to move in Ivy’s room with her.” Bernard said.
“Isn’t Angelica her roommate?” Garland asked.
“Not anymore because she’s decided to move into my room with me.” Bernard answered.
Santa overhears than comes over.
“Did I hear you right? Did Angelica really decided to move into your room with you?” Santa asked.
“Yes you heard right and yes she did.” Bernard answered.
“Well I’m sorry I can’t allow it.” Santa said.
Bernard glares at Santa.
“What do you mean you can’t allow it?” Bernard asked with his voice raising a little.
“I mean that it won’t be a good idea because one elf around here being pregnant is enough.” Santa answered.
“Oh come on Santa, We aren’t going to do that at least not yet.” Bernard said.
“Are you absolutely sure about that?” Santa asked.
“Yes I am.” Bernard answered.
“Alright she can share your room but you have to sleep in separate beds.” Santa said.
“Fine than.” Bernard replied as he walked off.
Chandler is walking around the workshop and Bernard approaches him.
“What would you like?” Chandler asked.
“I would like to know if you’d be willing to share a room with Curtis.” Bernard answered.
“Why?” Chandler asked.
“I’ve asked Angelica to share my bedroom with me.” Bernard answered.
“Wow okay and sure I’ll share with Curtis.” Chandler said.
Garland moves his things into Ivy’s room. Chandler moves his things into Curtis’s room and Angelica moves her stuff in Bernard’s room. Angelica lies on Bernard’s bed and starts at the ceiling just as Bernard comes in. Bernard sits down next to her.
“Hi my angel.” Bernard said as he joins her.
Angelica looks at Bernard than kisses him passionately.
“Hi my teddy bear.” Angelica replied.
“I’m so glad that you decided to share my room with me when I asked because the truth is that before when we were in different rooms I really missed you at nighttime.” Bernard said.
“Why is that?” Angelica asked.
“It was because I felt incomplete without you around at night and I sometimes lay here than find myself thinking about you.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles.
“I love you Bernard.” Angelica said.
Bernard pulls Angelica close to him.
“I love you too Angelica.” Bernard replied.
They close their eyes and fall asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 11
The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Angelica is down in the workshop when suddenly Santa comes in to check on everyone. Angelica walks over to Santa.
“Could I speak with you alone please Santa?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah sure of course you can.” Santa answered.
Angelica and Santa go somewhere they can talk alone.
“I bet you’re wondering why I wanted to talk to you right.” Angelica said.
“Well yeah that thought did cross my mind.” Santa replied.
“Could we do something to help Bernard control the level of his elf magic?” Angelica asked.
“That is actually a good idea because he doesn’t use it wisely.” Santa answered.
“Yeah I know that Santa and when he takes the weak spells it really scares because I have a feeling that one day his elf magic is going get so low that he could end up sick from it.” Angelica said.
“What do you think we should do about it?” Santa asked.
“I was thinking that you could alternate your watch for him and put the magic level up to 30 than tell him that if it gets down to 10 he’s in serious trouble.” Angelica answered.
“That’s a good idea.” Santa said.
Angelica smiles than walks over to where the elves are making the toys and stops one of the elves having some trouble. Angelica walks over to elf having trouble.
“What seems to be the problem here Cherry?” Angelica asked.
“I can’t seem to get this toy work properly.” Cherry answered.
Angelica picks up the toy and looks it over than takes something off it and passes it back to Cherry
“How about trying it now?” Angelica asked.
“Okay.” Cherry answered.
Cherry tries the toy again and this time it works.
“It had too much weight on it.” Angelica said.
Cherry smiles.
“Thanks for the help Angelica.” Cherry replied.
Angelica smiles than walks off. Bernard sneaks up behind Angelica and wraps his arms around her.
“Good morning my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles at hearing Bernard say that. Bernard turns Angelica around so she’s facing him and kisses her passionately.
“Bonjour Bernard.” Angelica said with a smile.
Bernard smiles. A few days pass and now’s two days before Christmas Eve.
Bernard is up his and Angelica’s bedroom sitting by the window. Angelica comes into their room than walks over to him and wraps her arms around him. Bernard has his green hat off. Angelica smiles than runs her hand through his black curly hair. Bernard gets to his feet than pulls Angelica close to him.
“Why did you do that?” Bernard asked looking down into Angelica’s blue eyes.
"The truth is I have always wanted to do that." Angelica answered.
Bernard gets angry and storms out of the room. Angelica runs after him but he's already out of sight. Angelica knows exactly where he is which is outside sitting on the steps going into Santa's Workshop. Angelica sits down next to him. Bernard looks at Angelica than looks the other way.
"Why did you storm off like that? Did I do something wrong?" Angelica asked.
“There only one that touches my hair is me.” Bernard answered in yell.
“Fine if that’s way you’re going to be about it than we’re through.” Angelica screamed.
Angelica gets her feet than starts walking off. Bernard just stares at place where she was sitting.
“What have I done? Why was I so hard on her? What I am going to do?” Bernard asked.
Angelica is running as fast as she can. Bernard gets to his feet than runs after Angelica. Bernard is really fast so he catches up with Angelica in no time than pulls her close to him. Angelica looks up at him.
“Please my angel, I’m really sorry and you can touch my hair whenever you want.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles than they kiss passionately. They break it a few minutes later.
Angelica smiles again than messes up Bernard’s hair a little. Bernard kisses the top of Angelica’s head than they walk back to their room hand in hand. Angelica lets out a long sigh. Bernard looks at Angelica.
What's the matter my angel?" Bernard asked.
"I just prefer when you wear your hat that's all." Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than takes his hat out of his shoulder bag and puts it on his head.
"Is that better my angel?" Bernard asked.
"Yeah it's a lot better my teddy bear." Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles and kisses Angelica.
It’s now the day before Christmas Eve. Angelica walks into the workshop than spots Bernard with his hat is off again. Bernard is talking to Jingle. Angelica walks up to Bernard and messes up his hair. Chandler sees the whole thing but he can’t believe it at all. A few hours pass and Bernard is talking with Santa. Angelica is watching the elves to make sure they are doing there jobs right. Chandler walks over to Angelica.
“You should consider yourself very lucky because if there is one thing that I’ve learned about my best friend it's that nobody touches his hair.” Chandler said.
Angelica smiles just as Bernard comes over and wraps his arms around her.
It’s now Christmas Eve. Santa is getting ready for his Christmas Eve trip.
Bernard has his arms wrapped around Angelica with his head lying on her shoulder. Santa leaves for to delivery the presents to the children of the world.
Angelica and Bernard go up their room to have some time alone. The night passes and now it’s Christmas day. Santa walks over to Bernard and passes him the brown box. Bernard opens it to reveal the watch.
“What are you giving this back to me?” Bernard asked.
“Angelica and I alternated so now you can use it to monitor your magic level.” Santa answered.
“Why do I need to that?” Bernard asked.
Angelica walks over to Bernard and hugs him.
“Santa and I are both very worried about you because you are always using too much of your elf magic so this way you’ll know how much you’ve used.” Angelica answered.
“Oh well thanks you two it’s wonderful.” Bernard said.
“There’s just one more thing about it.” Santa replied.
“What’s that?” Bernard asked.
“You are not to let the magic level on that watch get down to 10 or you will in serious trouble.” Angelica answered.
Bernard nods his head than runs up to his and Angelica’s room. Bernard comes back a few minutes later with a white/red gift bag and passes it to Angelica. Angelica opens the gift bag than she goes to say something but nothing comes out.
“Wow Bernard, you are best when it comes figuring out presets because I love it so much just like I love you.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles as Angelica runs off to their room and comes back with a brown bag and gives it to Bernard. Bernard opens the bag and smiles.
“Whoa, we were obviously think alike too.” Bernard as he takes the gingerbread boy out of the bag.
“His name is Bernard after you my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles.
“Well in that case your gingerbread girl should be named after you.” Bernard replied.
Angelica smiles than pulls Bernard close and kisses him passionately.

Chapter 12
A New Year’s Baby

It’s now the day before New Year’s Eve. Bernard is up in his and Angelica’s room thinking. Angelica comes into the room and notices Bernard deep in thought. Angelica smiles than lays on Bernard’s bed and stares at the ceiling. Bernard suddenly notices Angelica than joins her.
“Where have you been?” Bernard asked.
“I was visiting with Ivy and Garland.” Angelica answered.
“How is Ivy doing?” Bernard asked.
“She’s doing just fine.” Angelica answered.
Bernard wraps his arms around Angelica and kisses her. They fall asleep together in each other’s embrace. It’s now December 31st and 7 hours away from midnight. Bernard is walking around the workshop when suddenly he hears something so he follows it. Ivy is sitting on the steps of the workshop crying. Bernard sits down next to Ivy.
“What’s the matter Ivy?” Bernard asked.
“It just seems lately that Garland doesn’t care about me anymore.” Ivy answered.
“What would make you say something like?” Bernard asked.
“For starters when he tells me that he loves me he won’t make eye contact with me, he is always snapped at me and when he gets angry he just leaves without telling where he’s going.” Ivy answered.
“Would you like me to talk to him?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah that would great if you did.” Ivy answered.
Ivy gets to her feet and so does Bernard. Ivy gives Bernard a hug. Bernard smiles than walks off to find Garland. Angelica seen the whole thing so she walks over to Bernard.
“Why did Ivy hug you?” Angelica asked.
“She’s having a little trouble with Garland so I was helping her out and that’s why she hugged me.” Bernard answered.
“You are always doing so much for everyone else and that’s the biggest thing that I love about you.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles than continues on his way to find Garland. Bernard finds Garland up in his bedroom. Bernard knocks on the door and Garland looks up.
“Come in Bernard.” Garland replied.
Bernard walks into the room and sits on the bed.
“Do you still love Ivy?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah of course I do.” Garland answered.
“Are you absolutely sure about that?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I’m sure.” Garland answered.
“Why have been so distance from her lately?” Bernard asked.
“I’m just really nervous about the baby that she’s carrying.” Garland answered.
“Well that’s no reason to be so distance from her because right now is the time that she needs you the most.” Bernard said.
Garland gets to his feet than goes off to find Ivy. Bernard smiles than goes his and Angelica’s room. Angelica is sitting on the bed. Bernard sits on the bed beside her and pulls her close to him. They stay like that for a couple of hours than they go downstairs with everyone else to wait for the new year. The hours passed and now it’s 20 minutes to 12. Bernard wraps his arms around Angelica.
A few minutes pass again and now it’s 10 to 12.
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,1.” Everyone said together.
Bernard spins Angelica around and kisses her very passionately. Chandler does the same to Crystale. Santa does the same to Carol and Garland does the same to Ivy.
“Happy New Year my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles.
“Happy New Year to you my angel.” Bernard replied.
All of a sudden Ivy lets an earsplitting scream. Garland looks at Ivy than notices the puddle of water under her feet. Garland gasps just as Bernard notices it too.
“Oh no, we need to get her to the elf doctor right away.” Garland said.
“Why Garland?” Angelica asked.
“She’s in labor that’s why.” Bernard answered.
Shaun the elf doctor takes Ivy to his office. An hour later Shaun comes out to get Garland.
“Could you come with me?” Shaun asked.
“Yeah of course.” Garland answered.
Garland follows Shaun to where Ivy is holing a baby wrapped in a pink blanket.
“Come here Garland.” Ivy said.
Garland walks over to Ivy’s beside and looks down at the bundle of joy in his girlfriend’s arms.
“Does she have a name yet?” Garland asked.
“Yes she does and it’s Neige.” Ivy answered.
“Why that name?” Garland asked.
“It’s French for snow.” Ivy answered.
“Oh cute name sweetie.” Garland said.
Angelica comes into the room than walks over to Ivy and looks down at the baby in her best friend’s arms.
“Awe…she’s so adorable.” Angelica replied.
Carol comes running in.
“Angelica I need you to come quick.” Carol said.
“What’s wrong?” Angelica asked.
“I just need to come with me that’s all.” Carol answered.
Angelica follows Carol to workshop to find that there’s nobody around.
“What’s going on?” Angelica asked.
All of a sudden the Christmas lights come on than slow music starts playing and there’s suddenly mistletoe everywhere.
“I think you can figure out what’s going on here now so I’ll leave.” Carol answered.
Carol leaves to join Santa. Angelica looks around just as Bernard comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her. Angelica looks up into Bernard’s brown eyes. Bernard smiles.
“Why did you do all this?” Angelica asked.
“I just felt like it my angel.” Bernard answered.
“How much elf magic did you use?” Angelica asked.
“I only used a little bit.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles than turns to face Bernard and kisses him. Bernard pulls her close to him and they start slowly dancing. They dance for a few hours than go outside. Bernard walks to the kitchen and Angelica follows him.
“What are you doing in here?” Angelica asked.
“I’m going make something to drink.” Bernard answered.
Bernard gets the honey and milk.
“What are you going to make with that?” Angelica asked.
“I’m going to make Honey Bee Milk.” Bernard answered.
Angelica sits down and watches Bernard. Bernard puts a cup of milk into a glass than puts a 1 tablespoon of honey into the glass than stirs it up. Bernard takes a sip of it. Angelica is sitting watching him.
“Did you want to try some?” Bernard asked.
“Nah! I think I’ll pass thanks.” Angelica answered.
Bernard takes the glass of Honey Bee Milk up to his and Angelica’s bedroom. Angelica follows him. Bernard sits on the window seat and looks out at Santa’s Village. Angelica sits down next to him.
“Is there anything bothering you?” Angelica asked.
“No I’m fine.” Bernard answered.
Angelica sighs.
“I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Angelica said.
Bernard nods his head. Angelica leaves. Bernard turns on the CD player to disc 5 song 2. The song “I Will Come To You” By Hanson starts to play and Bernard starts to sing along.
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin'
I will hear your spirit callin'
And I swear I'll be there come what may
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
I will come to you
'Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there come what may
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'
And you need the strength to keep tryin'
I'll reach out and take your hand
I'll reach out and take your hand
Oh I will come to you
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
I will come to you,
Oh I will come to you
Angelica is walking back to their room and she hears him singing. Angelica smiles.
“I love it when he sings.” Angelica said.
Angelica walks into the room to find Bernard sitting on the bed. Angelica sits down next Bernard and lays her head on his shoulder. Bernard sighs deeply.
“Please say you’re not weak.” Angelica replied.
“I can’t say that because it would a lie but don’t worry I’m not that weak.” Bernard said.
Angelica hugs Bernard and he hugs her back. They start kissing passionately and kiss for a few hours than go to bed in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 13
Angelica Misses Bernard

Bernard is sitting in his and Angelica’s room being all bored. Angelica is visiting Ivy, Garland and Niege.
“Can I hold her?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah of course but remember to support her head.” Ivy answered as she places Niege in Angelica’s arms.
Angelica rocks Niege in her arms. Niege looks up at Angelica and coos.
“You’re going to make a really good mother someday Angelica.” Ivy said.
Angelica smiles than gives Niege back to Ivy. Angelica walks back to her room that she shares with Bernard. Bernard lets out a long sigh.
“What’s the matter my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I’m bored.” Bernard answered.
“How about we watch some movies?” Angelica asked.
“That’s a good idea my angel and I’ll go borrow a few from Santa.” Bernard answered.
Bernard gets to his feet than walks to Santa and Carol’s room than knocks on the door. Santa opens up the door.
“How may I help you Bernard?” Santa asked.
“I was wondering if I could borrow a few movies from you for Angelica and me to watch tonight.” Bernard answered.
“Yeah sure go right ahead.” Santa said.
Bernard walks into the Santa and Carol’s room. Bernard looks through the DVDS for awhile than settles on The Sound Of Music, Dreamer, Fly Away Home and The Parent Trap. Bernard takes them back to his and Angelica’s room.
“What movies did you get teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I borrow these four from Santa.” Bernard answered as he places the movies on their bed.
Angelica looks over them and starts smiling. Bernard notices Angelica smiling.
“What are you smiling my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I’m smiling because you picked out my favorite movie of all time.” Angelica answered.
“Which one is that?” Bernard asked.
“It’s The Sound of Music.” Angelica answered.
“Do you want to watch it first?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I do.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than gets to his feet than puts The Sound Of Music into his DVD player and presses play. The movie starts to play. Bernard sits down on the bed next to Angelica and pulls her close to him. Angelica smiles than lays her on Bernard’s shoulder. Bernard smiles too. A few hours later The Sound Of Music is over. Bernard takes it out of the DVD player and puts in Fly Away Home. A few hours later that movie is over too than he puts in Dreamer. A few hours later Dreamer is over too and he puts in The Parent Trap. They start watching it than suddenly Bernard starts kissing Angelica very passionately. Angelica’s eyes widen in shock than she pulls away from Bernard.
“What do you think you’re doing Bernard?” Angelica asked.
“I’m kissing the love of my life that’s what I’m doing.” Bernard answered.
“Those aren’t you normal kisses.” Angelica said.
“Alright you got me they aren’t my normal kisses my angel.” Bernard replied.
Angelica suddenly figures out what Bernard is up too. Angelica smiles than they start kissing each other passionately again. They kiss like for awhile than they start to make love. They stop around 4 in the morning and fall asleep in other’s embrace. It’s now a week later. Bernard is down in the workshop when suddenly Santa comes over with Mother Nature.
“What are you doing here mom?” Bernard asked.
“I was wondering if you’d like to come spend the day with me because we never hangout anymore.” Mother Nature answered.
Bernard smiles and hugs his mother.
“I love to hangout with you today mom but I have to say good-bye to the love of my life first.” Bernard said.
Bernard runs off to find Angelica. Angelica is up in Ivy and Garland’s room again holding Niege in her arms. Bernard walks into the room. Bernard smiles when he sees Angelica holding Niege. Ivy notices Bernard.
“She’s natural at it.” Ivy said.
“Yeah I can see that which only means that she will be a great mother when we a child someday.” Bernard replied.
Angelica looks up and notices Bernard. Angelica hands Niege to Garland than goes over and hugs Bernard. Bernard hugs Angelica back than they walk to their room.
“What do you want to do now?” Angelica asked.
“I would love just kiss all day but the truth I can’t.” Bernard answered.
“Why can’t you?” Angelica asked.
“My mother is downstairs waiting for me because she wants me to spend the day with her.” Bernard answered.
“Are you going to spend the day with her?” Angelica asked.
“Yes I am because I love her and I never get to spend anytime with anymore. She’s always so busy looking after nature and making sure that world is the way it’s supposed to be.” Bernard answered.
“What about me?” Angelica asked as tears start streaming down her cheeks.
“Awe my angel please don’t cry. We spend every waking moment together. I love you very much but we can’t be together all the time. We need time away from each because that was makes our love grow stronger.” Bernard answered.
“When will you be back?” Angelica asked.
“I’ll be back at suppertime my angel.” Bernard answered.
Angelica and Bernard hug than kisses very passionately. Bernard leaves to spend the day with his mother. Angelica lays on hers and Bernard’s bed than looks up at the ceiling. Angelica snaps her fingers than Bernard’s CD player starts playing. Angelica snaps her fingers again than switches to song 5. The song stats to playing and Angelica starts to sing along with it.

Ivy is walking by Angelica’s room and she hears her singing. Ivy walks into the room than sits down next to Angelica. Angelica smiles a little than starts crying. Angelica suddenly jumps up than runs to the bathroom and throws up. Ivy is still sitting on the bed when Angelica comes back.
“What was that all about?” Ivy asked.
“I not sure because one minute I was feeling just fine than next my stomach was turning somersaults.” Angelica answered.
“Why don’t you come to the elf doctor with me?” Ivy asked.
“That’s a good idea because he’ll be able to find out what’s wrong with me.” Angelica answered.
Ivy and Angelica walk to the elf hospital. Shaun the elf doctor comes over to them.
“What can I help you ladies with?” Shaun asked.
“Angelica just threw up a few minutes ago.” Ivy answered.
Shaun and Angelica go into his office. Shaun checks Angelica.
“Well you perfectly healthy Angelica and congratulations.” Shaun said.
Angelica gets a confused look on her face.
“Why are you congratulating me?” Angelica asked.
“I’m congratulating you because you’re pregnant.” Shaun answered.
Angelica’s eyes widen in shock.
“Are you serious?” Angelica asked.
“Yes I’m very serious.” Shaun answered.
Angelica looks at down at her stomach and starts smiling.
“Wow to think that the love between Bernard and I could create something this wonderful. I can’t wait to until he gets back from hanging out with his mother so that I can tell him.” Angelica thinks to herself.
Angelica goes back out to where Ivy is waiting. Ivy gets to her feet than walks over to Angelica.
“What did he have to say?” Ivy asked.
“I’m going to have a baby Ivy.” Angelica answered.
“Wow congratulations.” Ivy said as she hugged Angelica.
“Thanks Ivy but I just wish Bernard was here so that I could tell him.” Angelica replied.
“Where did he go?” Ivy asked.
“He went to spend the day with his mother.” Angelica answered.
“When will he be back?” Ivy asked.
“He will be back around suppertime.” Angelica answered.
The hours pass and it’s suppertime but there’s no sign of Bernard.
“Where is he? What is taking him so long?” Angelica asked.
“I don’t know and you really need to calm down because stressing isn’t good for your situation.” Ivy answered.
Garland walks up behind Ivy and wraps his arms around. Ivy smiles. Garland sudden notices someone that he’s never seen before.
“Who’s that guy?” Garland asked.
“I’m not sure.” Ivy answered.
Santa walks over the guy.
“Who are you?” Santa asked.
The guy smiles but says nothing. Santa glares at him. Mother Nature comes over to Santa. Santa looks at the way the guy is dressed.
“No way, it can’t be,” Santa said.
“Yes it can be and it is.” Mother Nature replied.
Angelica gasps than runs off to the bathroom. Ivy sighs deeply. Garland looks at Ivy.
“What’s wrong with her?” Garland asked.
“Take a guess.” Ivy answered.
“Is she..?” Garland asked.
“Yeah she is.” Ivy answered.
“Since when?” Garland asked.
“I don’t know I didn’t ask her that.” Ivy answered.
Angelica returns than Garland hugs her.
“Congratulations Angelica.” Garland said.
Angelica smiles a little. Santa comes over to them.
“Is there’s something I’m missing here?” Santa asked.
“Well you see Santa……I….there’s going to another baby elf around here very soon.” Angelica answered.
“What do you mean?” Santa asked.
“I mean that I’m pregnant.” Angelica answered.
Angelica sighs deeply than runs to the bathroom again. The guy elf walks over.
“What’s wrong with Angelica?” the guy asked.
“She’s um….well maybe she should tell you.” Santa answered.
Ivy’s eyes widen in shock.
“Is that you Bernard?” Ivy asked.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yes it is but you can’t tell Angelica.” Bernard answered.
“Why not?” Garland asked.
“My mother conceived me to change my look so to test our love.” Bernard answered.
“It’s just weird seeing you with hair straight.” Ivy said just as Angelica appears again.
Bernard gasps than runs off in the other direction. Angelica gets a confused look.
“What’s his problem?” Angelica asked.
“I don’t know.” Ivy answered.
The hours pass and Angelica is sitting of steps of the workshop bawling her eyes out. Bernard is close by watching Angelica. Bernard can’t take seeing his angel cry anymore. Bernard walks over to Santa.
“Can I talk to you?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah sure.” Santa answered.
They go out of earshot.
“Can we have a dance in the great hall?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah that’s a good idea.” Santa answered.
“Okay great and I think that Chandler should be the DJ.” Bernard said.
The elves get everything ready for the dance. Ivy and Garland are dancing with each other. Angelica is sitting on the bench by the wall. Bernard walks over to where Chandler.
“Could you play a song for me?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah sure I can.” Chandler answered.
“The song I want you to play is How Did I Fall In Love With You by Backstreet Boys.” Bernard said.
Chandler puts How Did I Fall In Love With You on. Bernard walks over to where Angelica than puts his hand and pulls her up. They walk out on the dance floor and start dancing. A strange feeling comes over Angelica like she’s done this before than she thinks back to when she danced with Bernard on their 6th month anniversary. Angelica gasps.
“Bernard.” Angelica said.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yes it’s me my angel.” Bernard replied.
Angelica hugs Bernard really tight than they starts kissing passionately. The other elves look at them and they suddenly know who he is too. Angelica sighs deeply. Bernard gets a worried look on his face than takes Angelica out earshot.
“What’s the matter with you?” Bernard asked.
Angelica sighs deeply again than she faints into Bernard’s arms. Bernard’s eyes widen shock. Ivy saw the whole thing and she runs over.
“Wow I don’t think that was supposed to happen.” Ivy answered.
Bernard is starting to get really worried. Angelica opens her eyes and looks up at Bernard.
“Um…Bernard, there’s something you need to know.” Angelica said.
“What is it? Are you alright? Is there anything I can do?” Bernard asked.
“I’m fine sort of and just having you here helps.” Angelica answered.
Bernard sighs
“Will you just tell me?” Bernard asked.
Angelica nods her head than runs up their bedroom and into the bathroom. Angelica throws up three times just as Bernard comes into the room. Bernard snaps fingers than his hair and clothes change back to why they are supposed be. Bernard looks around but he can’t find his hat anywhere. Angelica comes out of the bathroom and sits down next to Bernard.
“Bernard, I’m not sure how to tell you this.” Angelica answered.
“Tell me what?” Bernard asked.
“Well you see every since that night where we made love I haven’t been feeling that great but I just shook it off as the flu but today while you where gone I found out what it really is.” Angelica answered.
“What it is?” Bernard asked.
“Bernard my teddy bear, I’m pregnant.” Angelica answered.
Bernard’s eyes widen and a big smile spreads across his face. Bernard pulls Angelica close to him.
“I admit that I felt bad for leaving you today but hearing that you’re carrying my child has really brightened up my day and I’m also very happy.” Bernard said.
Angelica hugs Bernard. Bernard sighs.
“What’s wrong my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I can’t find my green hat anywhere.” Bernard answered.
“Where did you last have it?” Angelica asked.
“I had it on when I left with my mother. Oh no I think I left at her place.” Bernard answered.
All of a sudden Mother Nature appears holding her son’s hat.
“Are you looking for this son?” Mother Nature asked.
“Yes I am mom.” Bernard answered as he gets to his feet than takes his hat from his mother.
“Should we tell your mother our news?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah we should.” Bernard answered.
“What are the two of you talking about?” Mother Nature asked.
“Angelica is going to have a baby mom.” Bernard answered.
Mother Nature hugs Angelica.
“Congratulations sweetie.” Mother Nature said.
Mother Nature leaves than Bernard and Angelica fall asleep in each other’s embrace. The next day Angelica walks up than runs to the bathroom and throws twice. The hours pass. Angelica is down in the workshop with Bernard, Ivy and Santa.
"So Angelica where's your family?" Bernard asked.
"I don't know and I don't care." Angelica answered.
"Don't you want them here?" Santa asked.
"No I don't." answered.
"Why?" Ivy asked.
"Because I just don't ok. Now leave me alone." Angelica answered and ran off to her room.
Bernard was going to run after her but Santa stopped him.
"Bernard just give her a few minutes to herself for now ok." Santa said.
"Ok. But I'm worried about her." Bernard said.
"I know you are, but she needs to be alone right now." Santa said.
~Meanwhile in Angelica's room that she now shares with Bernard~
"I don't want them knowing that my family doesn't want anything to do with me and that they don't want to see me and I don't want to see them at all." Angelica said through her tears.
~Meanwhile back in Santa's Workshop~
"Hey, Bernard, can I talk to you?" Ivy asked.
"Sure you can." Bernard answered.
Now Ivy and Bernard are out of earshot of everyone.
"I was thinking about bringing Angelica's family here to surprise her because they probably miss her and she probably misses them." Ivy said.
"Why were you thinking that?" Bernard asked.
"You see how upset she got when we mention her family." Ivy answered.
"Are you sure this will work?" Bernard asked.
"I am not sure, but I hope it does." Ivy answered.
A few hours go by and Angelica's family walks into the workshop and they spot Ivy and at that very moment Angelica comes out of her room that she now shares with Bernard. She walks over to where Bernard is and wraps her arms around him but she doesn't notice her family right way. Ivy walks over to Angelica and Bernard.
"Hey, Angelica look whose here." Ivy said.
When Angelica look over and saw her family she ran off and this time Bernard goes after her but when Santa tried to stop him he didn't stop because he wanted to know the truth from Angelica. Bernard knew exactly where to find her.
"What's wrong my angel?" Bernard asked.
When she heard Bernard say that she stood up and hugged him and was crying.
"What's wrong my angel?" Bernard asked again.
"The truth is I didn't want to see my family and I know that my family didn't want to see me." Angelica answered through her tears.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" Bernard asked as he wiped away her tears.
"Because I didn't want to say anything about it because I didn't think that it matter at all." Angelica answered.
"What happened between you and your family?" Bernard asked.
"Well when I was younger my parents were always fighting and so were my brothers and sisters and I was stuck in the middle of it and they blame everything on me even if it was something I didn't do. So one day I got up the courage and moved out and then my parents told me that if I walk out that door I would no longer be apart of the family and that they don't want to see me and then I told them that I don't ever want to see you all again." Angelica answered.
"WOW! I had no idea." Bernard said in shock.
"Yeah I know. So when I saw them today I wasn't happy as you saw." Angelica said.
"So are you happy now?" Bernard asked.
"When I'm with you of course I am. You always brighten up my day." Angelica answered.
At that very moment Bernard kisses Angelica passionately just as Ivy and Angelica's family walked out.
"Who is that she is kissing?" Angelica's mom asked.
"That's her boyfriend Bernard." Ivy answered.
Angelica’s father Greg walks over to them and clears his throat. Bernard and Angelica stop kissing. Bernard sighs than wraps his arms around Angelica.
“What’s your name?” Greg asked looking at Bernard.
“This is my boyfriend Bernard.” Angelica answered.
Angelica sighs deeply than suddenly senses her getting weak. Bernard sighs just as Angelica faints into Bernard’s arms.
“What have you done my daughter?” Greg asked.
“Nothing at all sir she’s just not feeling that greatest right now.” Bernard answered.
Angelica opens her eyes. Greg looks at his daughter than at Bernard.
“I don’t’ want you anywhere near my daughter you got that.” Greg yelled.
“No dad, you can’t do that because I love Bernard with all my heart. I can’t and I won’t live without him. He’s the best thing that has ever happen to me.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles at hearing Angelica say all that. Angelica gasps than runs to the bathroom and throws than returns again. Ivy looks at Bernard.
“How many times is that today?” Ivy asked.
“Three.” Bernard answered.
“Wow I was never like that.” Ivy said.
Bernard sighs.
“I’m really worried about her.” Bernard replied.
Angelica hugs Bernard than looks up into his brown eyes.
“Bernard, I’m okay really it’s morning sickness that’s all.” Angelica said.
“Morning sickness?” Michelle asked in a yell.
“Yeah mom that’s right I’m pregnant.” Angelica answered.
Greg looks at Bernard.
“Are you the father?” Greg asked.
“Yes I am.” Bernard answered.
Angelica shakes her head than walks off to the room that she shares with Bernard. Bernard sighs than looks at Angelica’s family.
“Listen to me, you all need to forgive each other and be there for Angelica at this time.” Bernard said.
“Ha, I don’t think so.” Greg replied.
Bernard shakes his head than goes up to his and Bernard’s bedroom.
“Hi my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica doesn’t say anything. Bernard sits down next to her and pulls her close.
“What’s the matter my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I know that you want everything between my family and I to perfect but that’s never going to happen just leave it alone.” Angelica answered.
Bernard sighs than gets to his feet and leaves the room. A few minutes later Angelica gets a little worried about Bernard and than she goes in search of him. Bernard is nowhere in sight.
“Why does he always do this?” Angelica asked.
Ivy and Crystale walk over to Angelica.
“He’s always been like that since we were little and no matter how hard mom tired she couldn’t change him.” Crystale answered.
“Well I don’t like when he just gets all angry and disappears.” Angelica answered.
“Yeah we’ve noticed that and you don’t need this kind of stress right now.” Ivy said.
Bernard is using his elf magic to be invisible than sudden he become visible again and collapses. Santa shakes his head. Angelica notices Bernard on the floor and she runs over to him.
“Come on Bernard, open your eyes. I love you so much and I really need right now.” Angelica sobs.
Bernard opens his eyes and looks up Angelica.
“Sorry my angel but I really do have to start listening to you when it comes to my magic level.” Bernard said.
Bernard gets to his feet than pulls Angelica into his arms.
Greg, Michele and Angelica’s brothers come over.
“We’re leaving now and we thought about this whole thing. We still don’t want anything to do with you.” Greg yelled.
“That’s fine with me because I don’t want anything to do with you guys either so good-bye forever. I don’t need my family anyway because I have Bernard and he’s the best thing that has ever happened to me.” Angelica screamed.
Angelica’s family leaves the North Pole for good. Angelica looks at Bernard than at Santa.
“I want you both to promise never ever to bring them back up here again.” Angelica said.
Bernard and Santa nod their heads in unison. Angelica walks up to hers and Bernard’s bedroom than falls onto the bed. Bernard comes into the room than lays next to her and pulls her close to him. Angelica smiles than they fall asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 14
New Elves To Train

It’s 2 months later now which means that Angelica is 3 ½ months pregnant. It’s the earlier hours of the morning. Bernard and Angelica are sleeping soundly in each other’s embrace. All of a sudden Angelica jolts awake and runs to the bathroom. Angelica throws up a couple of times. Bernard wakes up and hears her. Bernard walks into the bathroom to find Angelica kneeling in front of the toilet. Bernard kneels down beside her and rubs her back as she throws up one more time. Angelica gets to her feet than walks out of the bedroom again. Bernard follows her.
“It’s going to be okay my angel because no matter I will be by your side the whole time.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles and hugs Bernard. They walk downstairs hand in hand. Santa walks over to Bernard and Angelica.
“There are new elves for you to train Bernard.” Santa replied.
“Okay Santa but I don’t want to leave Angelica alone to long.” Bernard said.
Ivy, Garland, Crystale and Chandler came over.
“Don’t worry about Angelica because we will stay with her and if anything happens than I’ll cover for you.” Garland replied.
Bernard hugs Angelica than goes to where the new elves are.
“Hi everyone. My name is Bernard. I’m the head elf around here so I train the new elves.” Bernard said.
The girl elves all smile.
“Is the training hard?” a girl elf asked.
Bernard smiles.
“It all depends on how good your quality is.” Bernard answered.
“Oh okay.” the girl said.
“What are your names?” Bernard asked.
“My name is Audrey.” A girl elf said.
“I’m Maggie and this is my sister Gracie. We are also Audrey’s oldest sisters too.” A girl elf smiles.
“What about the rest of you?” Bernard asked.
“My name is Charlotte and this is my best friend Britani.” A girl elf sitting next to Maggie answered.
“I’m Sarah.” Another girl elf said.
“My name is Arron and this is my best friend Caleb.” A boy elf replied.
Ivy suddenly appears. Bernard looks at Ivy.
“Please tell that she’s okay.” Bernard said.
“Yeah she’s fine but she misses her teddy bear.” Ivy replied.
“Hi sis.” Audrey, Gracie and Maggie say together.
Ivy smiles than walks over to her sisters and hugs them.
“Are these your sisters?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah they are.” Ivy answered.
Ivy suddenly notices her parents talking to Santa. Ivy smiles than walks over to them.
“Hi mom and dad.” Ivy said as she hugs them.
Garland walks over to Ivy.
“Who is this guy?” Faith asked.
“This is my boyfriend Garland.” Ivy answered.
Garland runs up to his and Ivy’s room than comes back a few minutes later with Niege.
“This is your granddaughter Niege.” Garland said.
Faith looks at Niege than at Ivy.
“Wow, she looks just like you sweetie.” Faith replied.
“Thanks mom.” Ivy said.
Angelica walks over to Ivy’s parents.
“Hi Faith and Tim.” Angelica replied.
Faith hugs Angelica. Angelica smiles and hugs Faith back.
“How have you been sweetie?” Faith asked.
“I’ve been just fine.” Angelica answered.
Tim hugs Angelica too. Bernard looks over and smiles.
Audrey notices Bernard looking over at Angelica.
“Why are you looking at Angelica that way?” Audrey asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Bernard answered.
Gracie grins.
“Is she your girlfriend?” Gracie asked.
Bernard sighs.
“I don’t have to discuss that with you.” Bernard answered.
Maggie giggles.
“Yeah you do because she’s our sister too.” Maggie said.
“How is that possible?” Bernard asked.
“Our parents adopted her.” Gracie answered.
“I’ll be right back.” Bernard said.
Bernard walks over to where Angelica, Tim, Ivy and Faith are. Bernard clears his throat.
“What is it my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I just was wondering why you never told me that Ivy’s parents adopted you my angel.” Bernard answered.
“Oops I guess it spilled my mind.” Angelica said.
“Who’s this handsome elf?” Faith asked.
“This is my boyfriend Bernard and he is Santa’s head elf.” Angelica answered.
“It’s nice to meet you Bernard I hope that you are taking very good care of Angelica.” Faith said.
“Yes madam I am.” Bernard replied.
Angelica whimpers than runs off to the bathroom. Bernard sighs just as Angelica returns.
“What was that all about sweetie?” Faith asked.
“I’m going to have a baby.” Angelica answered.
Faith hugs Angelica and so does Tim. Tim than looks at Bernard.
“Are you the father of this baby?” Tim asked.
“Yes sir I am and I’m going to be here for her no matter what.” Bernard answered.
“That’s good to know because even though Angelica is only our adopted daughter we are very close to her and we care for her a whole lot.” Tim answered.
Bernard takes Angelica out earshot.
“Why do you call them by their first names?” Bernard asked.
“I don’t now I just do but they want me to call them mom and dad.” Angelica answered.
“Well I think that you should because they care for you and they love a lot more than your own family.” Bernard said.
“I know that my teddy bear I just can’t bring myself to call them that because it would sound too weird.” Angelica replied.
“Please do it for me because if you did that would not only make them happy but it would make me happy too.” Bernard said.
“Alright than my teddy bear I’ll do it because I will do anything for you.” Angelica replied.
“That’s my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica walks back over to the others. Angelica sighs than hugs Tim and Faith.
“I love you mom and dad.” Angelica said.
Tim and Faith’s eyes widen in shock.
“Did you just call use mom and dad?” Tim asked.
“Yes I did and I’m going to call you that from now on.” Angelica answered.
“What made you changed your mind?” Faith asked.
“Not what but who mom.” Angelica answered.
“Who than?” Tim asked.
“Bernard of course.” Angelica answered.
“Thank you Bernard.” Faith and Tim said together.
“You’re very welcome plus it’s only right because you are the only parents that she has now.” Bernard replied.
Angelica smiles than hugs Bernard. Bernard hugs Angelica than goes back to where the new elves are. A few days later it’s time for them to graduate. Bernard is standing in front of them holding their certificates. Angelica is close by than she starts crying. Faith comes over to Angelica and pulls her into a hug.
“Why are you crying sweetie?” Faith asked.
“Seeing those certificates reminds me of the day that everyone gradated elf training except for me but than Ivy stood up for me.” Angelica answered.
“Was Bernard the head elf back than?” Tim asked.
“Yes he was but back than he was really mean and bossy. He has really changed since he started falling in love with me.” Angelica answered.
Ivy comes over to Angelica and hugs her.
“I’ve always wanted to tell you this which is that you’re my favorite sister.” Ivy said.
“Really I am?” Angelica asked.
“Yes really you are.” Ivy answered.
Angelica and Ivy hug just as Bernard comes over.
“What’s going on here?” Bernard asked.
Angelica looks at him.
“We are just having a sisterly moment.” Angelica answered.
“Oh I see well I’ll leave the two of you alone than.” Bernard said.
Bernard starts to walk away but Angelica stops him.
“Oh no you don’t my teddy bear because you are staying right here with me.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles than pulls Angelica into his embrace and kisses her.
Faith and Tim smile at the same time. Bernard holds Angelica tighter but not to tight.
“I love you my angel.” Bernard whispered.
“Yeah I know and I love you too my teddy bear.” Angelica whispered back.
Bernard looks at Tim.
“What it is?” Tim asked.
“There’s something that I need to ask but not here.” Bernard answered.
Tim and Bernard go out of earshot.
“What is that you wanted to ask me?” Tim asked.
“Angelica’s biological were up here awhile ago but seeing how they didn’t get along I didn’t feel it would be a good idea to ask them something like this.” Bernard answered.
“What would they be?” Tim asked.
“To marry Angelica.” Bernard answered.
“You want to marry her?” Tim asked.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yes I do very much especially since I found out that we are going to have a baby together.” Bernard answered.
“Wow that’s a big step.” Tim said.
“Yeah I know it is but I really want to because I love her you so much.” Bernard replied.
Tim smiles.
“Well yeah I can see how much you love her because it really shows.” Tim said.
“I know you’re only her adopted father but since she’s closer with you than it better to ask you this than her own father.” Bernard said.
“Okay ask away I’m listening.” Tim replied.
“Do I have your permission to marry Angelica?” Bernard asked.
“Yes you do because I only want what’s best for her.” Tim answered.
“Thank Tim.” Bernard said.
“You’re very welcome.” Tim replied.
“Well I better get work than.” Bernard said.
Tim gets a confused look.
“What do you mean?” Tim asked.
“I’m the official jewelry elf here at the North Pole.” Bernard answered.
“Wow that’s amazing.” Tim said.
“Did you happen to notice that angel necklace around Angelica’s neck and the promise ring on her ring finger?” Bernard asked.
“Yes as matter fact I did noticed them.” Tim answered.
“I used my jewelry elf talent to make those just for Angelica.” Bernard said.
“Oh wow, well they are very wonderful.” Tim said.
“Thank you.” Bernard replied.
Bernard and Tim walk back over to the others. Faith looks at Tim.
“What was that all about?” Faith asked.
“Oh nothing just guy talk.” Tim answered.
Bernard laughs a little than pulls Angelica close to him and kisses her very passionately.

Chapter 15
Bernard’s Romantic Proposal

It’s a few days later and Bernard is sitting on the steps outside Santa’s workshop. Chandler suddenly appears and sits next to Bernard.
“What’s with the long face my friend?” Chandler asked.
“I’m trying to figure the best way to ask Angelica to marry me.” Bernard answered.
“Just turn on that romantic charm of yours.” Chandler said.
“Yeah I was thinking that but it needs be extra special.” Bernard replied.
“Oh I’m sure that you’ll figure out something.” Chandler said.
Bernard walks back inside. A few hours later everyone goes to sleep. Bernard wakes a few hours later than sneaks down to Santa’s Workshop to make an engagement ring for Angelica. The ring that Bernard makes a 10kt gold engagement ring than he engraves the inside to say “Forever Yours”. Bernard puts the ring into a little black box than takes it back upstairs and hides in somewhere Angelica won’t find it which is in his shoulder bag. The next morning Bernard is up before Angelica. Bernard suddenly starts feeling weak so he checks the power level on his watch and it’s down to 20.
“Oh great I can’t use anymore today.” Bernard said.
Angelica hears him than wakes up.
“What are you talking about my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“It’s nothing my angel.” Bernard answered.
They both get up than get dressed and go downstairs. Angelica walks over to Ivy.
“Good morning sis.” Angelica said.
“Same to you.” Ivy replied as she hugs Angelica.
Bernard goes over to Santa.
“Is there a way to get my power level back up by tonight?” Bernard asked.
“Well the only way is not use it all day.” Santa answered.
Bernard smiles than starts walks off.
“Thanks Santa.” Bernard said.
“Why did you want to know that?” Santa asked.
Bernard sighs than walks back over to Santa.
“I needed to know because I need my magic leave on full tonight so that I can plan the most romantic evening ever for Angelica.” Bernard answered.
Santa goes to ask why than he suddenly figures it out on his own.
“Are you going to ask Angelica to marry you?” Santa asked.
“Yes I am so wish me luck.” Bernard answered.
Santa smiles.
“You don’t need luck because I know for sure that she will say yes because she loves very much.” Santa said.
Bernard smiles than goes up to his and Angelica’s room to take a little rest. A few hours later Bernard comes back down. Curtis walks over to Bernard.
“When are you going to step down as head elf?” Curtis asked.
“I will never step down as head elf." Bernard answered.
“You must be getting tired of doing the same things over and over again.” Curtis said.
“No I’m not sick of it because I love my job.” Bernard replied.
Bernard snaps his fingers than CD player starts playing and he starts singing along.
Bernard:
To each his own, my friend
You know how to get me stressed
But when it comes to making
Christmas special...
Curtis:
I'm a cut above the rest
Bernard:
If you could see things clearly
You would say that I've been blessed
Curtis:
You can't hold a candle to my timing!
Bernard:
Ah!
I'm a cut above the rest
Angelica has secret listening in and she comes over to them.
Angelica:
You belong side by side
You should never be apart
'Cause, when you're both together
you're really twice as smart!
Curtis:
"Twice as smart."
She does have a point
Bernard:
Yes, well, two heads
are better than one
Ooh!
Curtis:
They say that, as a team
we have got to be the best
Bernard:
Now we've found something we
both agree on: we're a cut
above the rest
Curtis and Bernard:
There's no doubt that, as a team
We two are the very best!
Everyone who knows us must agree:
we're a cut above the rest!
Angelica, Curtis and Bernard:
There's no doubt that, as a team
you (we) two are the very best!
Everyone who knows you (us) must
agree...
Curtis and Bernard:
We're a cut...
Angelica:
A cut above...
Curtis and Bernard:
Above the rest!
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“Did you two learn something from that song?” Angelica asked.
“That we are both equal and it’s really silly to fight over every little thing.” Bernard answered.
Angelica looks at Curtis.
“What about you?” Angelica asked.
“It made me understand that no matter how much I want to be head elf around here that it’s not going to happen and that Bernard is a really cool elf all around.” Curtis answered.
“Are you two going to be friends from now on?” Angelica asked.
“Yes we are and no more fighting.” Bernard and Curtis said together.
“That’s good to hear guys.” Angelica replied.
Angelica walks up to hers and Bernard’s bedroom. Bernard follows Angelica up to their room. Angelica lays on the bed looks up at the ceiling than lets out a long sigh. Bernard walks into the room than sits next to Angelica on the bed.
“What’s the matter my angel?” Bernard asked.
“Oh nothing really my teddy bear.” Angelica answered.
“Are you sure?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I’m sure.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles a little than lies down beside Angelica. A few minutes later Angelica has fallen asleep. Bernard checks his magic level than gets to his feet. Bernard writes a note for Angelica. It reads “Dear Angelica, when you wake just stay up here until I come get you and please don’t come looking for me, Love Always Your Bernard. Bernard sneaks down to the kitchen and gets a picnic basket full of Angelica’s favorite foods than takes it outside to a nice fluffy snowy patch in the middle of Santa’s Village. Bernard than goes back inside and gets a few more things ready. Angelica wakes up and notices the note than she reads it.
A few minutes later Bernard comes into the room. Angelica looks at him and smiles. Bernard helps Angelica to her feet than they go outside where all the stuff is set up. Angelica looks at the picnic basket than at Bernard.
“What’s all this for?” Angelica asked.
“You’ll see later my angel.” Bernard answered.
Bernard takes a bouquet of yellow daffodils out from behind his back and gives them to Angelica.
“Wow Bernard, they’re beautiful.” Angelica said.
“Yeah I know just like you.” Bernard replied.
They eat the food in the picnic basket. Angelica sighs deeply. Bernard rubs Angelica’s back a little.
“Now what?” Angelica asked.
“Close your eyes.” Bernard answered.
“Why?” Angelica asked.
“You’ll see.” Bernard answered.
Angelica closes her eyes. Bernard takes his hand and writes “Marry Me” in the snow in front of Angelica than he takes the ring out his shoulder bag.
“Can I open them?” Angelica asked.
“Yes you can open your eyes and when you do look down in front of your feet.” Bernard answered.
Angelica opens her eyes than looks down in front of her feet and reads what Bernard wrote in the snow. Angelica gasps than goes to stay something but nothing comes out. Angelica walks around it than gives Bernard a great big hug.
“Yes.” Angelica finally said.
Bernard smiles than spills the engagement ring onto Angelica’s ring finger. Angelica looks down at gasps again.
“Oh Bernard, it’s so gorgeous just like you.” Angelica said.
“Thanks my angel and I put a lot of thought into making it so it would just perfect.” Bernard replied.
“What was wrong with you early today?” Angelica asked.
“I was weak from making that engagement for you.” Bernard answered.
Angelica hugs Bernard. Bernard smiles than kisses Angelica very passionately.
“Please promise that you will cut back on making the jewelry for awhile because I don’t want anything happening to you.” Angelica said.
“I promise my angel but when Christmas time again comes around again I will have do it all over again.” Bernard replied.
“Couldn’t you get someone to come up with away to take the pressure of you to make all the jewelry?” Angelica asked.
“I could talk to Curtis about making a machine that will make the jewelry for me so I don’t have to it all the time.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles a little. They walk inside hand in hand. Curtis is working on fixing on one his inventions. Bernard walks over to Curtis.
“Would be able to help with something?” Bernard asked.
“It depends on what it is.” Curtis answered.
“Angelica wants me find away to take the pressure of making jewelry so that I don’t get weak all the time.” Bernard said.
“Are you suggestion some kind of invention to help you out?” Curtis asked.
“Yeah I am.” Bernard answered.
“I’ll see what I can come up with.” Curtis said.
“Thanks a lot Curtis I really appreciate it because Angelica gets really upset when my elf magic level gets low and that kind of stress isn’t good for her right now.” Bernard replied.
“Why is that?” Curtis asked.
“She’s going to have a baby 5 ½ months.” Bernard answered.
“Really she is?” Curtis asked.
“Yes really.” Bernard answered.
“Wow that’s great and congratulations.” Curtis said.
Angelica walks over to where Bernard and Curtis are. Angelica rests her head on Bernard’s shoulder than wraps her arms around his waist. Bernard just smiles. Curtis looks down at Angelica’s hand and notices the ring than he gasps.
“Is that an engagement ring?” Curtis asked.
“Yes it is.” Angelica answered.
“When did this happen?” Curtis asked.
“It happen a few minutes ago while Bernard and I were outside.” Angelica answered.
“Well congratulations the both of you.” Curtis said.
“Thanks Curtis.” Angelica replied.
Bernard and Angelica walk up to their room. Bernard pulls Angelica close as soon as they make it in the door and starts kissing her passionately.
