Xani followed them through the portal. "What's 'Christmas Day'?" She asked as she stepped out of the other side.

"A day of celebration and gift giving; it's like everybody's birthday at the same time. Add in some decorations that go up around a month before it actually occurs, a large meal, eating far too much chocolate and lashings of feel good positivity and well you're heading in the right direction. My mother told me that Christmas Day is when Jesus was born so we all share gifts as it is his birthday and Jesus is within all of us. My father, however, explains it slightly differently"

Meyla frowned at Franklin, it didn't quite add up to what she had read that morning. "How did your father put it then?"
***
Back at HQ Cynthia was running through the corridors as fast as she could. This was one quest she did not want to miss. A chance to meet Santa?! How could she resist? Cynthia went spinning past the official who had pointed Meyla in the right direction. The man frowned as Cynthia barged past him without so much as a sorry. Suddenly it dawned on him where she was going and why. He gave chase. Although the girl was only ten, she was quick for her age and her young legs had soon gotten her to the portal room door. Cynthia flung it open and grinned as she saw the portal was still active - just. "Cynthia! No!" the official yelled as he ran to catch up with her. Cynthia turned back and gave him a cheeky grin before launching into the room, just as he caught up to the door. Cynthia jumped through the portal to a resigned yell of "No transforming!" before it closed behind her.
The official shook his head with a sigh and made his way hastily to the records room. The bosses would need to know about this.
***
On the other end of the portal, Cynthia landed on her feet and began to laugh. She had done it! She had outwitted the QA staff. And now she was going to see Santa!
At the sound of a child's laughter, Meyla turned and noticed a girl standing in front of the closing portal. 'Oh joy, MORE babysitting...' Meyla thought to herself.

"It's kind of hard to explain thoroughly it involves a lot of long complicated words and terms, along with a talk about some people called the Pagans" Franklin wiped around at the sound of a child's laughter, he moved to one side to look past Meyla. His jaw fell open as he saw a young girl he knew all too well. "Oh what is 'she' doing here?"

"Hello to you too, Franklin." Cynthia sniped as she sauntered past him, the skirt of her pink dress blowing in the breeze. "Come on. I wanna meet Santa already!"
Meyla followed Cynthia with her eyes then turned to give Xani a shrug. "Well this is going to be fun," she muttered to the other woman.

Xani shrugged in return. "I still don't understand this 'Christmas' thing..." She sighed "But perhaps we should move onwards. I believe someone mentioned a 'Christmas Tree Door', but I'm afraid I don't know what that would look like..."

"Why do we have to follow her? She's not the leader of this quest"

Cynthia heard Xani and half-turned as she walked. "It's like a tree but kind of triangle-shaped, with pointy bits on the side," the girl frowned as she tried her best to explain. Meyla gave Cynthia an amused smile, "She's not far wrong really, I saw a picture of one this morning. Once we get to the door, you'll see."
Meyla turned to Franklin, "You don't sound too happy, what's wrong?"

"Her!" Franklin said in disgust He moved quickly around Meyla so he was facing Cynthia "For years I've had to put up with this loud mouthed opinionated little girl, letting everyone know how she feels about everything. Especially me because I'm, now how did she phrase it? Oh yes 'that quiet monkey boy with the weird metal thing on his head'. She has attempted to stick fridge magnets to it, try to wire it up to electrical circuits and tried to break it; just to see what will happen"

Xani raised an eyebrow at the children, but decided it was best not to respond.
