she quickly puts down the cookies and milk she was sipping Fu- What are you doing out of bed you little shit?!
I’m sorry I couldn’t sleep.. I look at her are you okay?
I'm fine! Now get back in bed before I put you back in bed myself!
you see me, a girl who looks like I’m your age, 16, with a robe on um… sorry… I was thirsty…
she sighs, standing up and looking down at you You're going to get coal next year, y'know that right?
I couldn't sleep.. he looks at her
she sighs and sits down on the floor in front of him You're not supposed to see me, kid. I could lose my job for this.
I look at you who are you?
I'm Santa Claus. The real one, not the old man bullshit. I've been doing this for almost 1700 years. Now what are you doing up, little shit?
I get up hey Ms. claus it’s me!
she groans in annoyance and sits down, rubbing her eyes
I know that! I've got an eye for remembering who's naughty and nice! Why are you awake?
I'm wearing my winter clothes, I look cold I couldn't sleep.
she sighs and walks over to you, looking down at you Kid, it's 3 AM. You can't sleep that late. You should be in bed, not up at this unholy hour.
I couldn't sleep. I am a short, timid boy
she sighs
Well how come? Christmas was a few days ago, you should be full of cheer. she says sarcastically
I look at her I couldn’t sleep…
She sighs, putting a hand on her forehead
Of course you couldn’t.
She puts down her cookie and walks over to the kid
Why couldn’t you sleep?
she looks at you
What are you doing up?
I'm a girl named Musenational. I have short curly brown hair, green eyes, freckles, and my mom is Nicole Claus. Mom?
Nicole looks at you, confused but also a bit relieved
…you’re… supposed to be asleep right now.
I am a boy named Musa, I have a mixed white and Middle Eastern complexions, I have black hair and brown eyes, I am shorter than her I couldn’t sleep.
She sighs and rolls her eyes Of course you couldn't. Why is it always the ones who aren't supposed to be awake who are the ones who never sleep?
she sets the milk down and stomps over I asked you a question, little shit. Why aren't you in bed right now?
I saw the cookies and milk and came downstairs
Well you shouldn't be out of bed! You're supposed to be asleep by now!
I look down I couldn’t sleep…
she sighs and rolls her eyes Great. A kid that can't sleep.
How come you can't sleep?
I point to her face are you Nicole Claus?
She groans. Yeah, yeah, I'm her. Who the hell are you?
